At nine o'clock at night, Shen Jingyu suddenly looked at his phone and said, "I'm going to see Xingxing tonight."
Su Xing was taken aback. He had indeed refrained from drinking due to his injury, but to suddenly mention going out at such a late hour seemed a bit too clear-headed. However, neither Shi Shaowen nor Nan Gong Ye showed any signs of stopping him. In fact, Shi Shaowen even instructed the helipad to prepare for takeoff.
"Are you flying your own plane to pick her up?" he asked.
"Shen Airlines would be more convenient. Xingxing didn't go through the proper procedures this time," Shen Jingyu replied.
"Using your private jet is just to make it more comfortable for your sister-in-law, right?" Nan Gong Ye pointed out with a knowing smile.
If it were under normal circumstances, Su Xing would have been sent back home and wouldn’t have enjoyed such luxuries with Shen Jingyu. This just goes to show that one must earn money and have the ability to provide a better life for their loved ones.
Shen Jingyu didn’t respond but turned to threaten Nan Gong Ye, "If you dare let anyone invade my phone again, I’ll have you arrested first!"
"Wow! Ruthless! Remember to pop into the group chat! Bring your sister-in-law in too!"
"Forget it, I’ll just add her as a friend myself!" Su Xing said, wanting to avoid any future disappearances of Jingyu without having a reliable contact.
She chuckled as she raised her phone with the QR code. "If he goes missing, I won’t be able to find him!"
Shen Jingyu silently squeezed Su Xing’s slender waist, hinting at something playful. Their classmates Shi Shaowen, Luo Hao, and Qin Yi all quietly raised their phones to scan Su Xing's QR code.
In the end, Su Xing could only laugh helplessly at the flood of friend requests that came in. Was this how they casually blended into her circle? Just like that!
Shen Jingyu frowned slightly and said, "Is this never-ending? No one is allowed to disturb my woman without reason!"
"Ha! Only you find chat apps annoying! Your sister-in-law is just trying to dig up some dirt on Jingyu!" Su Xing remarked, feeling that Nan Gong Ye was quite perceptive; she accepted him as a friend.
Soon after, Shen Jingyu and Su Xing didn’t need to bring anything; they took two cars and reached the helipad behind the estate in just over ten minutes.
As Su Xing worried about Shen Jingyu's injuries, Qin Yi approached her and handed over medication for the upcoming week while detailing how she should care for Shen Jingyu.
"Sister-in-law, please keep an eye on him. In the next three days, Brother Yu is more likely to run a fever around midnight. If the medication doesn’t seem effective after taking it, you can call me."
"Thank you so much, Xiao Yi," Su Xing said as he took the medical kit.
However, a thought immediately crossed his mind: would he really have to share a room with him at night? Given how he had acted this afternoon, full of energy and vigor, he hardly seemed like a patient at all.
Luo Hao and Fang Tongfang were helping the two brothers as they loaded some items onto the plane. After giving instructions to Qin Yi, Su Xing pulled Shen Jingyu aside to a more secluded spot and handed him a bottle of pills.
Shen Jingyu frowned, waiting for him to speak.
Qin Yi didn’t waste any time: "You remember how much your sister-in-law consumed of that Qing Sha, right?"
Shen Jingyu silently nodded. "Didn’t you say that stuff is useless for women?"
As he spoke, a hint of anger surged within him. This kid dared to toy with him; he would make him pay! It might not have been effective at the time, but it would take effect in seven days.
Shen Jingyu's fists were already clenched.
Qin Yi quickly begged for mercy. "Brother! Brother! I still need to help Song Zhe recover. If you punch me and injure me, I won’t care about either of you!"
Shen Jingyu barely retracted his fists.
Qin Yi continued, "That day, your sister-in-law was so thirsty. I saw the way she looked at that guy; her eyes were practically sparkling. It didn’t seem like a big deal, so I thought just let her have a couple!"
He added, "Besides, if she does have an episode, wouldn’t it benefit you, Brother Yu?"
With a teasing smile, Qin Yi said, "I’ve given you the medicine, but whether or not your sister-in-law takes it is still up to you! You’re the first antidote; if you let this opportunity slip away, that would be foolish!"
"But honestly," he continued, "if she doesn’t take it, it’s just a bit uncomfortable for her; it’s not a major issue! Giving you the medicine doesn’t mean she has to take it; it’s just to prevent you from cursing me later!"
Moreover, this stuff is quite good; if you carry it with you and take one at a critical moment, it can counteract all poisons!
Shen Jingyu knew very well that Qin Yi’s research produced things that could be considered miraculous medicines. Seeing his reluctant expression made it clear that he must have spent quite a bit on research funds.
"Have Ahao allocate some research funding for you!" He was always generous with his subordinates.
Qin Yi instantly broke into a bright smile. "Thank you, big brother!"
Achieving the goal, retreating!
Su Xing watched from a distance, puzzled, as Qin Yi animatedly conversed with Shen Jingyu, who seemed to be both angry and not angry at the same time. Did she notice him? She even cast a curious glance in his direction. Shen Jingyu was likely contemplating whether she should hastily dismantle all of Su Xing's defenses before the seven-day deadline for the medicine.
At ten o'clock that evening, Shen Jingyu and Su Xing, accompanied by Luo Hao and a small team, quietly embarked on their journey abroad. On the plane, Shen Jingyu arranged for his people to prepare normal clothes for Su Xing to change into; otherwise, sitting on a plane for an hour would surely make her uncomfortable. Moreover, once they arrived in the country, her current outfit would be completely out of place.
Since it was a private jet, Shen Jingyu and Su Xing were alone in a spacious room with eight sofa beds. It was Su Xing's first experience aboard such a luxurious aircraft. She even had the chance to take a comfortable shower before coming out.
Shen Jingyu adjusted his chair to match hers at the same angle, allowing them to sit close together. Looking at the exquisite snacks laid out before her, Su Xing felt she couldn't eat another bite after indulging earlier when he had fed her. As she surveyed the cabin's interior, she asked, "Shen, are you really this wealthy?"
"Not too bad; I can afford these things with my personal assets," he replied casually. "Ahao is preparing one for you too—customized and even more comfortable than this one."
Su Xing was taken aback by his words. "Even more comfortable than this? Just how much have you earned over the past few years? This design isn't practical; there's no bed! Sleeping here would be uncomfortable!"
Clearly, Shen Jingyu and Su Xing were not on the same wavelength regarding their concerns. "Alright, enough about that. I'm still used to you giving me living expenses every month rather than this... feeling like you're throwing money at me," he said with a chuckle.
"I haven't handed over my personal assets or bank cards to you yet; how about you give me an allowance every month instead?" he teased.
"Well then, is it three thousand or just one thousand? Or should I adjust it based on performance?" she replied playfully.
"And how do you plan to evaluate that performance? What do you want me to do for you?" he asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
As he spoke, he pulled Su Xing closer. He reclined slightly on the sofa while she straddled his lap, facing him. With that posture and the look in his eyes as he spoke, Su Xing couldn't shake off the feeling that he exuded a strong sense of aggression!
