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, aren’t you? Can’t 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 wasn’t 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 shouldn’t 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 play—you guys don’t 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, it’s not what you think, I didn’t, I don’t know..."
"Oh right, right, right, you really came back with me just now, you certainly didn’t know, but seeing young Su’s 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 Qing’s foot.
"Ouch!"
"It’s all your fault, you’ll see, I’ll 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 landlady’s 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, didn’t 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 didn’t expect you to come, Sister Wen!" Su Qing’s 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 Yi’s, 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 didn’t touch anywhere else, but his mouth was honest.
"Sister Wen, please, don’t mock me, if you keep teasing, Xiao Yi won’t let me sleep on the bed tonight!"
"Hahaha, alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I just happened to run into Xiao Yi outside today, so I came back with her to chat. After all, you didn’t 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 it’s 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, she’d certainly make a perfect wife of a great household in ancient times, embodying tolerance and elegance.
"Sure, the meal’s ready, just some home-cooked dishes, hope Sister Wen doesn’t 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, I’ll get right to it!"
With that, Su Qing hurried off like he was escaping a battlefield. Seeing this, the kids exchanged glances and couldn’t help but giggle, covering their mouths to laugh.
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Qing’s little brother is really funny, I’m really envious of you, being with a young one, I feel like you’ve gotten younger recently!"
"He’s just a smooth talker, not very mature, acts like a kid sometimes, really likes me when he does, but gives headaches when he doesn’t, 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 other’s temperaments.
Just judging by what Su Qing has accomplished and his current achievements, he doesn’t 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, isn’t 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 weren’t they contradictory?
"I didn’t ask for him to be successful in his career, that’s just a bonus surprise!"
"Oh come on, getting something for nothing is not a good habit. You might pick up someone else’s trained, but it’s 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 you’d approve of, they’d 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, you’re speeding again!" Shen Yi spat.
Although the landlady was a Great Fighting Master, she wasn’t 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 table—just home-cooked meals, two meat and one vegetable. While the taste couldn’t 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 families—a big drama indeed.
"Naturally, my dad kicked them out, we have everything prepared, now he comes to apologize, who’s he trying to fool?"
"Exactly, no sincerity whatsoever."
On hearing this, Su Qing thought for a moment and asked, "What’s Uncle planning to do?"
"Plans? My dad says take one step at a time, at least those restaurants of theirs won’t see business, and he asked me to prepare funds to buy their restaurants, he’ll find someone to help press the price down."
Su Qing: ...
Impressive, truly a heavyweight player, can’t agree so decides to acquire, even pressing prices down. Although it’s not a forceful buy, since old Mr. Wen said so, he certainly won’t make it easy for Han Bin’s family.
Such a significant character like old Mr. Wen surely has his ways, anyway Su Qing feels he’s not capable of it.
Unless you’re someone like Su Qing with no physical industry, otherwise, old Mr. Wen’s influence could reach you more or less.
"Congratulations, Sister Wen, your property portfolio is expanding!" Su Qing laughed.
"What’s there to congratulate, it’s too much, I’m 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 doesn’t connect among people.
The landlady stayed for dinner, departing at eight in the evening. To the couple, this wasn’t 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.
"Don’t... let’s not, okay?"
"We must! Why not, you even grabbed Sister Qing’s hand, shouldn’t I reward you a bit?"
Su Qing: ...
Hearing this sarcastic tone, he knew things were going downhill.
"I didn’t mean it, I really didn’t mean it, you have to believe me!"
"I believe you! Enemy is ashamed, I shall undress him!"
"That’s good, hey, hey, hey, why are you taking my pants off?"
Shen Yi: "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"
