Chapter 91: If There’s Any Other Smell, Of Course I’ll Throw It Away
There was a small path from the dining room to the room. It was designed to show the snowy scenery here, even though it was already night and the surroundings were lit up with colorful lights.
There were a few ice sculptures not far away. The colorful lights were a little interesting. If there was nothing else, they could enjoy the beautiful scenery here.
But now that there was a mouse behind her, she was naturally not in the mood.
Shen Xiaoxiao walked a little faster. She had just reached the lobby when she saw Liu Mei and Huang Tingxuan standing at the front desk to check out. However, she did not see Huang Huiwen. Shen Xiaoxiao thought that Liu Mei must have seen the photos. Otherwise, how could she be in a hurry to leave at this late hour when it was still snowing outside?
“Aunt Liu, it’s already so late. Are you guys leaving?”
Liu Mei’s thoughts were in a mess. When she returned to her room after dinner, she did not expect to see that photo. She did not know who had given it to her on purpose. This was really a scandal, a scandal!
Her family was unfortunate. She had said that her uncle’s family had no good intentions. Back when they were at their most difficult time, her uncle’s family had shouted for their shares to be withdrawn, almost causing them to go bankrupt.
At that time, they had already shed all pretense of cordiality. If it weren’t for the fact that the old master of the Shen family had lent them a large sum of money to tide them over, they would have long been sent back to their old home to teach and farm.
Alright, when their own family started up again, they would lick their faces and pull the strings again. However, they weren’t made of mud. Once they said that they were done with their interactions, they would absolutely not contact them again.
It was just that this niece was coming to the capital to attend school. They had seen that the child was rather well-behaved. Moreover, her uncle’s family hadn’t been doing well these past few years. If they could help, they would help. Who would have thought that they would help out a disaster? What a shameless little hoof!
Now that she had suddenly met Shen Xiaoxiao, although Liu Mei’s heart was very irritated, she still squeezed out a smile and said to Shen Xiaoxiao:
“Weiwei, I’m really sorry. I was supposed to have dinner with you tonight, but we didn’t manage to get together. Your Uncle’s health isn’t good, so your Brother Huang and I will be going back overnight. When we get back to the capital, give Auntie a call. Come over to Auntie’s house to play.”
How could Shen Xiaoxiao not know that this was an excuse? Moreover, she knew that Liu Mei was definitely feeling uncomfortable at the moment, so she no longer pulled her to talk. Instead, she said very politely, “Auntie, don’t be anxious. Take your time to go back. Take your time on the road. I won’t keep you any longer. We’ll contact you again when you’re done.”
Liu Mei once again looked at this forthright person. She did not ask what exactly was wrong with her. She was very sensible, so she accepted this favor. She took her luggage and left with Huang Tingxuan in a somewhat embarra.s.sed manner.
Dark 19 glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao and gave her a look. Shen Xiaoxiao immediately understood and walked straight to the elevator. She wanted to go back to her room as soon as possible. She was too lazy to talk with this man. He was really annoying.
But she wanted to escape. Pei Li had chased her all the way. How could he let her leave so easily?
He took a step forward and stopped Shen Xiaoxiao.
“Miss Lin, Miss Lin, please wait.”
Shen Xiaoxiao paused. He was really capable. He knew her name so quickly. Shen Xiaoxiao pretended to be puzzled and turned her head to look over.
Pei Li still looked like a young master. His long brown coat made him look even more straight and slender.
His elegant short hair had some snowflakes that had not dispersed in time. His entire person looked clean and neat. In addition, after entering the room, the melted snow made his hair look extremely wet, making him look exceptionally handsome.
However, in Shen Xiaoxiao’s eyes, these were especially glaring.
She used a lot of strength to resist herself from rus.h.i.+ng up to him to give him two slaps. She did not know why he was so embarra.s.sing to pounce on her again and again.
“What’s the matter?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was still expressionless. 19 was also looking at Pei Li with a serious and guarded look.
Pei Li was stunned. She was so cold. However, when he thought of her bad temper in front of her room in the afternoon, it matched her flamboyant and gorgeous temperament.
When he thought of this, Pei Li’s awkward expression instantly returned to normal. He became humble and gentle.
“Oh, Miss Lin, this is your scarf. I found it in the tea room in the afternoon. I wanted to send it to Miss Lin’s room, but I was afraid that I would be rude to Miss Lin, so…”
“So now you’re here to stop me?”
“Miss Lin, you must be joking. I should return it to its rightful owner.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the scarf that Pei Li handed over and waved her hand. 19 walked forward and took it with one hand.
However, Pei Li was stunned for a second before he reacted. Although his expression was no longer good, he still maintained his composure.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at his every expression. She wanted to see how good Pei Li’s patience was.
“Actually, this kind of scarf is not worth much. It’s just that this gentleman’s method of picking up girls is a little clumsy. Alright, but I still have to thank this gentleman. This gentleman has nothing else, right? Goodbye.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not wait for Pei Li’s reaction. Not only did she turn around and leave, but she also spoke to 19 in a voice that almost everyone could hear.
“Why are you still holding it in your hand? Don’t you think it’s dirty? I don’t want anything that someone else has touched, especially someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. 19, your habit of receiving junk isn’t very good.”
“Miss, this subordinate admits his mistake. This subordinate will immediately change it.”
19 directly threw the silk scarf into the trash can near the elevator. When he saw that the elevator had arrived, he protected Shen Xiaoxiao and walked into the elevator.
Pei Li remained where he was. His expression was indescribably ugly. This was the first time, definitely the first time someone had rejected him so mercilessly.
However, the more this was the case, the more he felt that it was meaningful to conquer such a woman. Moreover, at this moment, this truly made him completely interested. This woman was interesting.
Standing in the elevator, 19 looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and asked, “Miss, you seem to have some hostility toward that Mr. Pei?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned and said to 19, “Is it that obvious?”
“Yes, it’s quite obvious. Your words are a little, a little…”
“Merciless?”
“Yes, yes. Then do you think it’s not good?”
“Sure, but I’m more curious. Miss seems to be especially rude to him.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. Was she especially rude to him? It seemed that this was not good. She had to adjust her state of mind. Sometimes, treating someone too specially meant something else.
“If I see him again next time, I’ll definitely politely reject him.”
19 choked. Alright, Miss, you’re so funny.
The elevator soon reached the fifth floor. 19 was still standing at the door. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, “19, you should go back and rest early. I won’t go out.”
“Boss said that I can’t leave Miss. Miss, don’t worry. This time, I won’t let those flies come and hara.s.s you.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. Alright, you won’t be able to explain yourself to such a fool.
She immediately ignored him and walked straight into the room. She had been feeling a little bloated just now. She was afraid that something good was about to happen, so she took off her clothes and went straight into the bathroom.
Shen Xiaoxiao stood naked under the showerhead. At this moment, the bathroom door slowly opened…
