Chapter 184 He was both father and mother, but he forgot to tell her he loved her.
The boy sat casually on the sofa, his long legs spread wide, his collar disheveled, looking at her with a half-smile.
What are you laughing at? Shi Sui frowned slightly.
Then she slowly walked over, grabbed his collar and covered him up tightly: "Don't catch a cold."
Pei Shuoxun looked up at her, took her hand, and pressed it to his chest: "But I'm very hot."
The gaze directed at them was intensely hot.
Their gazes met in the air, and Shi Sui's breath hitched.
Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were deep and affectionate, with the upturned corners of the eyes as if tinged with a very light blush, making them exceptionally alluring.
The hand that was pressed against his chest touched a relaxed elasticity, followed by a taut hardness.
Shi Sui withdrew her hand, speechless: "Are you showing off your pectoral muscles to me?"
Pei Shuoxun: "..."
Shi Sui sat down on the sofa and turned down the central air conditioning heating by two degrees.
Then, hugging a cushion, she quietly slipped her hand under her clothes and touched her stomach.
My abs are still visible, but it feels like they're disappearing.
Sigh, I've been lacking exercise.
The phone on the table chimed, and Shi Sui quickly picked it up.
Zhang San: [Boss, as you instructed, the asset appraisal for Gu Hong Real Estate and Gu Sheng Real Estate has been completed, and an agreement has been signed.]
Zhang San: [The business registration change, tax registration change, and bank account change can be processed tomorrow...]
Shi Sui: [Integrate the resources of these two companies and merge them into one.]
Zhang San: [Received.]
Shi Sui: [You've been working hard lately, and everyone in the company has been working hard too. I've reviewed the year-end bonus distribution plan; let's increase the position coefficient by another point.]
Five seconds later, Zhang San asked, "[Boss, are you here for the annual meeting?]"
Shi Sui replied fluently: [No, I'm abroad and it's inconvenient for me to come back.]
After talking with Zhang San.
Shi Sui couldn't wait to share the good news: [System, system, we've acquired two companies from the Gu Group!]
[You are the best, most reliable, most powerful, and most secure system in the world! You are omnipotent, both in heaven and on earth!]
The system spins in circles: [Of course! This system is more powerful than everyone else, especially compared to random people.]
Shi Sui: [That's right, that's right, the system is the best to me, and I love the system the most.]
The system's voice even became shy: [Host, you should study hard.]
Shi Sui: [Yeah, there's nothing happier than studying (and getting rich quick).]
Although not everyone is optimistic about the two companies that have been acquired, Zhang San repeatedly advised her against it before the acquisition.
In the novel, however, the Gu Group will become the richest family, and these two companies will become leaders in the real estate industry.
Shi Sui has already envisioned how rich she will be in the future!
Pei Shuoxun then saw the girl beside him look at her phone for a while, then hug her pillow and chuckle softly. She couldn't hold back her laughter any longer, and her laughter grew louder and louder as she buried her face in the pillow.
He subtly moved closer to her, his voice gentle: "Why did you suddenly smile?"
Shi Sui tried to suppress her laughter, but couldn't, so she could only laugh and say, "Because laughing brings wealth!"
Pei Shuoxun put his arm around her shoulder, his breath enveloping her, and asked, "Did you win another five million in the lottery?"
He was stunned when he first heard that she had won five million to buy a house.
But thinking about it later, she should have won a hundred million.
The person he likes should be the luckiest person in the world.
“Hmm…” Shi Sui thought for a moment, “It’s even more exaggerated than that.”
"what is that?"
"I'll tell you later; now is not the time."
Pei Shuoxun reached out and ruffled her hair: "Okay, good."
After a while, the initial excitement of being overwhelmed by the two companies subsided, and Shi Sui looked up at him: "Chen Xun."
"what happened?"
"I just noticed a scar on your chest. You're injured, and it looks like it happened recently..."
Pei Shuoxun looked down at her slightly wet eyes, paused for half a second, and then smiled as usual: "It's just a minor injury."
Shi Sui looked at his smile.
For no reason, I was reminded of the past.
The school in town was chaotic. Older students would extort protection money from younger students, blocking the alley outside the school and hitting every passing elementary school student with sticks. If they didn't pay, they would strip them of their clothes and humiliate them.
Shi Sui has been fearless and has a strong sense of justice since she was a child.
He also believed that this was a good opportunity to hone his skills before achieving his goal of "killing his adoptive father".
So they dragged Chen Xun to their door to fight. It was 2 vs 4, a lower grade against an upper grade, and the fight was incredibly fierce.
The other side suffered a more severe defeat.
However, Shi Sui wasn't as good at fighting back then as she is now, so she was naturally injured. She jumped onto Chen Xun and asked him to carry her home.
When I got back, I naturally got a scolding from Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen thought it was her son who had caused trouble with the little girl, and scolded Chen Xun until he couldn't say a word. However, it was unclear whether he didn't want to argue back.
In the end, Shi Sui herself confessed everything.
After she confessed, Aunt Chen brought her a bowl of chilled mung bean soup and continued to scold Chen Xun.
However, Aunt Chen doesn't swear or know how to scold people. Her vocabulary is limited, and she can't help but say that he didn't protect the little girl well.
After the training, Chen Xun was sent back to his room.
Aunt Chen applied the medicine to her, using safflower oil and Yunnan Baiyao. After that, Shi Sui went to Chen Xun's room to find him.
But then they saw the boy take off his shirt, revealing a large, dark red bruise on his back, surrounded by a ring of blue and green bruises. He was applying medicine to himself with his back to the side.
The skin was broken and bleeding, but because she was wearing a black top, it wasn't noticeable.
Despite his back injury, he carried her for five or six kilometers without uttering a sound.
Oh, I didn't keep quiet. I coaxed her the whole way, telling her that she had to finish her homework after the fight.
Shi Sui was moved to tears by the touching brotherhood, and she hugged him and sobbed.
Chen Xun could only put down the ointment, comforting her that it was just a minor injury, while being threatened and swore to be brothers for life. He said that brothers shouldn't interfere too much, and that she only needed to finish half of her homework.
……
After Chen Xun left, Shi Sui never fought again (unless someone deliberately provoked her, or she saw injustice).
He actually started reading obediently, but he would sometimes space out halfway through doing his homework.
Of course, she no longer daydreams while reading, and she has met Chen Xun again. She has no regrets, and everything is developing in a positive direction.
Seeing her lost in thought, Pei Shuoxun gently cupped her cheeks and stroked her face with his fingers: "Sui Sui, what are you thinking about?"
Shi Sui's consciousness was pulled away from her memories. The distance was too close, and she could clearly see her own reflection in her pupils.
"I'll take care of you from now on," she said with a smile.
Startled by the unexpected answer, Pei Shuoxun paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
“I’m serious.” Shi Sui grabbed his hand, her face serious. “I will make a lot of money in the future.”
Pei Shuoxun blinked: "I know you're serious, and I'm serious about being kept."
He took her hand in his own, his palm warm, his fingertips gently tracing the back of his hand, enveloping her hand within his.
Shi Sui looked at him deeply, her true feelings revealed: "Chen Xun, you used to be both my father and my mother, you worked so hard."
Pei Shuoxun was taken aback: "So you're planning to repay me by making money in the future?"
Shi Sui expressed her gratitude: "Repaying you doesn't show our relationship. I'm doing this to take care of you in your old age."
Pei Shuoxun: Taking care of someone in old age? Shouldn't he be moved at this point?
……
He sighed helplessly.
He used to fight with her, play along with her antics, do her laundry, cook for her, and supervise her studies.
He acted as both father and mother, but he forgot to tell her he loved her.
Until finally, he said it.
She already has no shortage of people who love her.
