Chapter 697: Chapter 688: When the Enemy Is Shamed, I Go to Strip His Clothes
"I let you be the empress, I let you be the emperor, right? Humiliated now, arenât you? Canât you give me a heads-up before such things happen?"
In the room, Shen Yi looked at Su Qing, gritting her teeth, muttering quietly. Even though it wasnât her who was embarrassed, her face was as red as a beet.
Especially when she saw Wen Nanqing sitting on the sofa not far away, watching them with great interest, Shen Yi felt a sense of social death and gave Su Qing a playful slap.
And Su Qing, who was being hit, was at a loss for words. Originally, he thought such a good thing shouldnât be enjoyed by his dad alone; he made so much money just to enjoy life, right?
Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the end. This really sucked, and the situation was exactly like with his parents, only the mocked person had changed to him.
In an instant, attack and defense roles were reversed again.
"Cough, cough, I must say, young Su is truly a young person, knows how to playâyou guys donât usually seem this open!" Wen Nanqing said, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed slightly, sipping water with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi felt very embarrassed: "Sister Qing, itâs not what you think, I didnât, I donât know..."
"Oh right, right, right, you really came back with me just now, you certainly didnât know, but seeing young Suâs skillful actions, you must have practiced a lot usually!"
Su Qing: "Cough, cough, um, first time, first time!"
In response, the landlady looked at the two with amusement, keeping silent, making Shen Yi so embarrassed that she stomped on Su Qingâs foot.
"Ouch!"
"Itâs all your fault, youâll see, Iâll deal with you tonight!" With that, Shen Yi snorted and sat on the sofa with Wen Nanqing.
Seeing this, Su Qing was also helpless, he could only shamelessly sit on the opposite sofa, serving tea to the two of them.
"Sister Wen, what brings you here today, is there something you need?"
At these words, the landladyâs lips curved into a slight smile, smoothly tucking her hair behind her ear, she said with a smile, "Just dropping by to see what you and Xiao Yi usually play with, didnât expect such a surprise. But try to play these games at night next time. During the day, it could affect others, just lucky it was me today, but if it was someone else, what would you do!"
"Uh... sorry, so sorry, I really didnât expect you to come, Sister Wen!" Su Qingâs face turned red, speaking somewhat awkwardly.
Fortunately, because of his obstructed view earlier, his actions were slow; if he had pulled someone into his embrace, he could have been sleeping on the sofa tonight.
"So, sister, how do my arms feel compared to Xiao Yiâs, any noticeable difference?" The flirtatious widow was once again teasing, seemingly finding it amusing to tease the young couple.
In response, Su Qing secretly rolled his eyes; could there be much difference in arms? He certainly didnât touch anywhere else, but his mouth was honest.
"Sister Wen, please, donât mock me, if you keep teasing, Xiao Yi wonât let me sleep on the bed tonight!"
"Hahaha, alright, alright, I wonât tease you anymore. I just happened to run into Xiao Yi outside today, so I came back with her to chat. After all, you didnât come home yesterday because you said there was something at home. So, I took the chance to relax here instead of going home to look after the kids, hope itâs ok if I mooch a meal off you?" Wen Nanqing laughed.
She spoke gently, exuding an elegant and dignified demeanor, not showing any awkwardness despite what had just happened. That kind of temperament, sheâd certainly make a perfect wife of a great household in ancient times, embodying tolerance and elegance.
"Sure, the mealâs ready, just some home-cooked dishes, hope Sister Wen doesnât find it too plain!" Su Qing quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi gave him a glare, hissing, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and cook dinner!"
"Alright, Iâll get right to it!"
With that, Su Qing hurried off like he was escaping a battlefield. Seeing this, the kids exchanged glances and couldnât help but giggle, covering their mouths to laugh.
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Qingâs little brother is really funny, Iâm really envious of you, being with a young one, I feel like youâve gotten younger recently!"
"Heâs just a smooth talker, not very mature, acts like a kid sometimes, really likes me when he does, but gives headaches when he doesnât, a bit childish!" Shen Yi shook her head and replied.
The two had been dating for several months, known each other for more than half a year, naturally understanding each otherâs temperaments.
Just judging by what Su Qing has accomplished and his current achievements, he doesnât seem like a young man at all, showing a typical young and promising, successful entrepreneur aura.
But personality-wise, he indeed shows some immaturity at times, which inevitably made her worry a lot.
"Come on, young Su is young anyway, isnât it normal to be a bit childish? What, you wish for someone young but also expect him to be mature, steady, and successful in his career? Where can you find such a good deal?" Wen Nanqing teased, such demands werenât they contradictory?
"I didnât ask for him to be successful in his career, thatâs just a bonus surprise!"
"Oh come on, getting something for nothing is not a good habit. You might pick up someone elseâs trained, but itâs always safer to nurture your own, as long as you watch over it."
As they talked, the landlady exchanged a playful glance with Shen Yi, her eyes full of jest; it was clear she was linking the two to a nurturing scheme.
"Nurturing? Is that really that good?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.
"Of course. Just look, young Su is only 23 years old this year. Not counting appearance, if we just talk about criteria youâd approve of, theyâd have to be at least thirty-four or thirty-five, and men start going downhill after 35. How many years can they give you?
Your situation is different; you can have ten more years, a whole decade, just think about it!"
"Oh quit it, youâre speeding again!" Shen Yi spat.
Although the landlady was a Great Fighting Master, she wasnât a novice anymore. No matter how you put it, she should be experienced, not unfamiliar with this.
Soon, Su Qing brought the dishes to the tableâjust home-cooked meals, two meat and one vegetable. While the taste couldnât be described as exceptional, it was decent. At the table, eating while the landlady started talking about business.
"In the past two days, the online buzz has died down a lot. Just today, Han Bin and his wife came to my home to apologize."
"And then?" Su Qing was surprised and quickly asked.
After all, the Fengyang Restaurant incident had all its surface issues solved, what remained was the battle between the two familiesâa big drama indeed.
"Naturally, my dad kicked them out, we have everything prepared, now he comes to apologize, whoâs he trying to fool?"
"Exactly, no sincerity whatsoever."
On hearing this, Su Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Whatâs Uncle planning to do?"
"Plans? My dad says take one step at a time, at least those restaurants of theirs wonât see business, and he asked me to prepare funds to buy their restaurants, heâll find someone to help press the price down."
Su Qing: ...
Impressive, truly a heavyweight player, canât agree so decides to acquire, even pressing prices down. Although itâs not a forceful buy, since old Mr. Wen said so, he certainly wonât make it easy for Han Binâs family.
Such a significant character like old Mr. Wen surely has his ways, anyway Su Qing feels heâs not capable of it.
Unless youâre someone like Su Qing with no physical industry, otherwise, old Mr. Wenâs influence could reach you more or less.
"Congratulations, Sister Wen, your property portfolio is expanding!" Su Qing laughed.
"Whatâs there to congratulate, itâs too much, Iâm even too lazy to manage it, just sold off a batch of old houses last year, it was such a hassle!"
Su Qing: ...
This person is showing off, can someone step in about this!
You know, Fengyang Restaurant, including its branches, there are five in Jiang City, not to mention those five large restaurants themselves are worth a lot, indeed, happiness doesnât connect among people.
The landlady stayed for dinner, departing at eight in the evening. To the couple, this wasnât a big deal, but for Wen Nanqing, it was a rare relaxation.
"Xiao... Xiao Yi, what... what are you doing?"
As soon as Wen Nanqing left, Shen Yi drew the curtains in the room, looking at him with a mischievous grin.
"Doing what? What do you think? Come on, cover your face with a towel, I, the empress, will satisfy you!"
If it were any other time Shen Yi said this, Su Qing would be delighted, but looking at her mischievous expression, he knew this was probably not going to be easy.
"Donât... letâs not, okay?"
"We must! Why not, you even grabbed Sister Qingâs hand, shouldnât I reward you a bit?"
Su Qing: ...
Hearing this sarcastic tone, he knew things were going downhill.
"I didnât mean it, I really didnât mean it, you have to believe me!"
"I believe you! Enemy is ashamed, I shall undress him!"
"Thatâs good, hey, hey, hey, why are you taking my pants off?"
Shen Yi: "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"
