You can't wear silk in front of people, what's it to me!
Li Qianfan's mouth opened, and he was about to say this.
But the words reached his lips—
He looked down at Shen Yun's perfectly rounded legs, a flicker of a thought in his mind, yet he feigned indifference and asked, "Shen Yun, you're not going to fall in love with me because of this, are you?"
"What?"
Shen Yun, who was driving, froze for a moment, then looked at Li Qianfan with an expression of utter disbelief.
She looked as if she had just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
Uh-huh.
Li Qianfan immediately felt ashamed, recalling an idiom: self-infatuation.
Especially when Shen Yun looked ahead again, a clear hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and she even chuckled, "Brother, are you too confident? Thinking that not only can I talk nonsense for you, but I will also fall in love with you."
I want to get out of the car!
Li Qianfan truly wanted to shout.
He even more wanted to find a field of sorghum and drag the woman, who was many years older than him yet earnestly called him brother, into it!
If his scumbag father were here, he would surely give him a hefty slap and say, "You idiot! Didn't you realize she was deliberately trying to tease you with mockery? From now on, don't tell anyone you're my son. I'm too embarrassed to have someone like you!"
Alas.
Qianfan, you're still too green.
With your meager abilities, how could you possibly handle yourself with ease among those women in the future?
But don't worry, I'll help you.
Shen Yun's peripheral vision caught Li Qianfan's embarrassed look, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to disappear into. She sighed with a touch of heartache.
A full five to six minutes later, Li Qianfan finally adjusted his mindset, coughed a few times, and raised his head.
Shen Yun, at the opportune moment, softly asked, "Are you still coming to see me tonight?"
Li Qianfan didn't speak, only gazed out the car window.
He had never considered Shen Yun's question.
Especially after the recent blow, he was momentarily unsure of how to answer.
As the car passed an intersection, Shen Yun gently steered the wheel and pulled over to the side of the road.
She looked at a women's clothing store and asked Li Qianfan again, "Going tonight?"
Li Qianfan coughed a few times and mumbled vaguely, "Sure, that's fine."
He clearly knew that once his purpose of punishing Shen Yun was achieved, there was no need to continue interacting with her.
However—
As soon as he thought of what Shen Yun had nonsensically said in her dazed state before dawn (when she was no longer gagged), his blood began to boil.
Especially her skin, it was truly good.
Like a porcelain doll, it would redden with a gentle pat.
Shen Yun immediately opened the car door and got out.
Li Qianfan asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Black stockings, I used them all up last night."
Shen Yun said calmly and hopped out of the car.
Watching Shen Yun's retreating back disappear into the women's clothing store, Li Qianfan felt a sense of inexplicable apprehension.
He had thought that after they had a complete confrontation and he had committed unspeakable acts, he would be in absolute control.
In other words, he thought that whatever he wanted, they would do.
But now, it clearly wasn't the case!
Even though Shen Yun wasn't vying for dominance with him.
But when he noticed that she was unhappy without silk in front of people, Shen Yun seemed to know what he was thinking and immediately returned to the lounge to put on silk.
When he discovered that her walking posture was attractive, she deliberately swayed even more attractively.
She even "warned" him that if he did that again, he couldn't take cold showers anymore.
And after just mocking him for being too self-infatuated, she confirmed he would visit her that night, and then immediately went to buy silk.
For him to tear—
Shen Yun, without directly competing with him, had effortlessly taken control.
Li Qianfan truly feared that if this continued, she would completely control him.
He was somewhat afraid.
Quickly seeking advice from the great Ruohua—
Shen Yun was about to pay when she received a message from Nen Cao: "My friend told me that he seems to have been unwittingly led by the nose by an undercover agent."
Nen Cao, using a lengthy message, briefly recounted several incidents where the undercover agent had frightened his friend.
Finally, he asked Ruohua what his friend should do.
Shen Yun bit her lip and glanced quickly at the outside of the store.
Lowering her head, she typed: "The undercover agent mocking your friend for being self-infatuated is a high-level tactic to tease him. Tell your friend not to mind it. The most important thing is for him to observe the undercover agent carefully. When they are together, does the undercover agent show genuine flattery and deference? If so, you can congratulate your friend, that undercover agent has been completely won over by him."
Nen Cao replied: "Really?"
Shen Yun replied: "Don't you and your friend know that some women have exceptionally strong traditional values of obedience and virtue? Once they are won over by a man, even if he's a scoundrel, they'll follow him like a chicken follows a rooster or a dog follows its master."
After sending this message, Shen Yun turned off the message notification, lingered in the store for a few more minutes, and then walked out.
In the small car, leaning against the car window, Li Qianfan's expression was calm.
However, when he saw that Shen Yun's shopping bag contained at least two dozen pairs of black sheer stockings, his gaze flickered.
Shen Yun didn't say anything else and started the car.
Two thirty in the afternoon.
In the vice president's office of Paipai Fashion.
Dai Paipai, who was listening to Old Ma's report on logistical matters, suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth and began to cough violently.
"Vice President Dai, are you ill?"
Old Ma asked with concern, "I advise you to go to the hospital."
"It's nothing."
Dai Paipai coughed a few more times before forcing a smile and saying, "I might have caught a chill a few days ago, a bit of a fever. I've already gotten some medicine from the infirmary."
Old Ma urged, "Vice President Dai, your cough sounds very severe. You really should go to the hospital. We're closest to Tianci Hospital, and their medical facilities are excellent. Please go and get checked, illness shouldn't be delayed."
Dai Paipai thought for a moment and nodded.
It was normal to catch a cold and get a fever after a chill.
But she had been experiencing recurrent fevers for days, especially feeling weak and unwell all over.
"Alright, I'll go to the hospital."
Dai Paipai stood up and said to Old Ma, "For these tasks, please report to President Wang. I estimate he's about to wake up."
"Vice President Dai—"
Old Ma hesitated.
Dai Paipai smiled and asked, "Old Ma, what is it?"
Old Ma sighed and said, "I don't know what others think. But I sincerely hope you and President Wang can return to your previous relationship. Vice President Dai, please don't mind. I'm saying this from the perspective of an elder."
"Thank you, Old Ma."
Dai Paipai smiled again and said lightly, "But Wang Mingshuai and I cannot go back. Never."
Just as Old Ma was about to persuade her further.
Dai Paipai asked, "Old Ma, do you know how our company got so many orders recently?"
Old Ma casually replied, "Didn't President Wang get them by networking?"
"He networked? He networked his Moroccan coins."
Dai Paipai sneered and directly cursed, "To be frank, all the orders our company has currently accepted were forced upon me by him, to accompany people to bed."
Old Ma—
By the time he recovered, Dai Paipai had already left the office, occasionally coughing.
"President Wang wouldn't do that, would he? But Vice President Dai wouldn't lie. Alas."
Old Ma sighed, took the stack of reports, and went to the president's office door, knocking.
It was already three in the afternoon.
Wang Mingshuai had just woken up from his nap.
"Old Ma, you could actually report these tasks to Vice President Dai."
Wang Mingshuai said slowly as he looked at the reports.
Old Ma truthfully replied, "Vice President Dai seems to be ill and has gone to Tianci Hospital."
"She's ill?"
Wang Mingshuai was stunned, looked up at Old Ma, and smiled.
The 209 virus he had purchased at great expense was finally showing its terrifying fangs!
"President Wang, you'd better go with General Dai to the hospital for a check-up."
Old Ma, speaking from his elder position, tactfully advised, "Actually, in the long course of life, what couple doesn't have their ups and downs, their arguments? Many things, as long as both sides take a step back and give the other a way out, you'll find that things aren't as unresolvable as you thought."
"Yes, you're right."
Wang Mingshuai took his advice, stood up, and said, "I'll go to the hospital right now to accompany Paipai for a thorough check-up."
Old Ma, thinking he had persuaded Wang Mingshuai, smiled with relief.
Wang Mingshuai, walking out quickly, smirked inwardly, "I'm going to the hospital to see the despair on that bitch's face when she finds out she's infected! I wonder if Li Qianfan, that little bastard, has been infected too? May Buddha bless him, he caught it too!"

Old Wang got his wish!
