32: Chapter 32: Accompany Me to Go Shopping 32: Chapter 32: Accompany Me to Go Shopping By the faint candlelight, Ye Shikai barely made out the silhouette of a woman, her back turned to him, black hair cascading down her shoulders.

The woman slowly turned and walked towards him, clad in a bright red dress, her movements exuding seductiveness.

It was none other than Luo Shiqi, lips slightly upturned.

With a pale finger, she gently tapped Ye Shikai’s cheek and picked up a glass of red wine from the table.

“I know you have many questions for me, but have this glass of wine first.”

The seductive aura lingered around Ye Shikai, his lower body reacting.

He gently swirled the wine in his glass and took a sip, “Château Latour from ’90, Miss Luo really knows how to enjoy life.” Ye Shikai was intoxicated, indeed it was genuine Latour, rich in flavor, even better than what some high-end restaurants offered.

A ’90 Latour was a top-quality rarity, forever sought after but seldom found in the domestic market.

Knowing Luo Shiqi’s background, it was no surprise she could acquire such wine.

A knowing smile appeared on Luo Shiqi’s face, she leaned close to Ye Shikai’s ear and whispered, “You really know your wine, I’ve treasured this bottle for a long time, and you’ve nailed the year.

It seems…

you’re no ordinary white-collar worker, huh?”

Darn it, Ye Shikai had drunk plenty of such wines back in France, after all, he lived with Bonarson, treated as an honored guest, and had tasted all kinds of fine wines in his cellar.

But now, his identity was that of an average white-collar worker — how could he afford such a priceless wine?

By slipping up, he had given Luo Shiqi the chance to spot a flaw.

“I once tried it at a class reunion.” Ye Shikai quickly replied, impressed by his own acting skills.

Luo Shiqi nodded slightly and took a seat, gesturing Ye Shikai to sit as well.

“Want to know why I care so much about you?” Luo Shiqi fluttered her beautiful eyes, her slender, fair hand propping up her chin, her expression lazy.

“Yeah, we’ve only met a few times.

I don’t believe you would give me ten million for no reason.” This was indeed Ye Shikai’s biggest puzzle.

Looking at the suggestive atmosphere, reminiscent of the candlelit dinner he had with An Lan, could it be that she also wanted…

Luo Shiqi slowly stood up, took cat-like steps to Ye Shikai’s back, and wound her soft, fair arms gently around his neck, whispering in his ear, “I like you.”

Ye Shikai jumped as if electrified, jumping up from the chair, exclaiming loudly, “What did you say?” This woman, was she trying to seduce him?

Could this be love at first sight?

“But, I am a married man.” Ye Shikai spoke with righteous indignation, decisively rejecting her.

Even if Luo Shiqi was stunning and literally throwing herself at him, he couldn’t do it.

Luo Shiqi chuckled lightly, picked up the glass from the table and downed the wine at once, looking disdainfully at Ye Shikai, “I know, it’s just that woman Su Qingyu.”

Ye Shikai was petrified on the spot.

How could she know?

The relationship between himself and Su Qingyu was supposed to be top secret.

Apart from himself and Su Qingyu’s family, no one else should know.

If the news got out, it would surely cause a stir.

Su Qingyu was the prestigious president of Tianya Group, and marrying an obscure employee would definitely make headlines.

Thinking of this, Ye Shikai’s expression grew increasingly solemn.

“Curious about how I know?

Although I’m not sure why Su Qingyu would marry you, given that ice queen’s nature, I doubt she’s ever been kind to you.”

“She doesn’t care about you, but I see potential in you.”

“How did you find out?” Ye Shikai did not respond to Luo Shiqi’s remarks and only wanted to know how she came by the information.

“Want to know?

First, accompany me shopping.” Luo Shiqi pouted, walking towards the door with a touch of resentment, “What, you won’t come with me?” Seeing Ye Shikai remain motionless, Luo Shiqi turned around, her tone displeased.

“Fine, I’ll accompany you,” Ye Shikai said helplessly.

In good conscience, he just wanted to get to the bottom of this.

Luo Shiqi walked over to Ye Shikai, clasped his arm tightly, and pulled him out the door.

Ye Shikai felt incredibly awkward; this woman was truly domineering.

Exiting the Dark Night Bar, a sports car was neatly parked at the entrance, where a woman in black respectfully opened the rear door with an inviting gesture.

Luo Shiqi, without any hesitation, clung to Ye Shikai’s arm and pulled him into the car.

Time: The afternoon.

Location: In the car.

Atmosphere: Extremely awkward.

“I say, can you please let go of my hand?” Ye Shikai had been trying to pull his hand away from Luo Shiqi’s embrace the entire ride.

Looking at her, blissfully snuggled in his embrace, he felt a shiver down his spine, almost as if Su Qingyu was behind him…

“Today, you are my boyfriend,” Luo Shiqi looked up, her face smiling, “Isn’t hand-holding normal for couples?”

“I never agreed to be your boyfriend.

Besides, I’m a married man.”

“I’m guessing… you haven’t even touched Su Qingyu,” Luo Shiqi drawled teasingly, it was obvious she was feigning ignorance.

“Married but your wife won’t let you touch her, what’s the point of being with such a woman?

You might as well just be with me.”

Ye Shikai felt intensely uncomfortable, the beauty before him exuded a dangerous, seductive charm, at this rate…

“Miss Luo, we’ve arrived at the mall,” suddenly, the woman driving the car turned her head to announce.

Luo Shiqi gave her an annoyed glance, while Ye Shikai let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank God, they had finally arrived.

Ye Shikai looked out of the window, huh, Heaven Mall, the very place Su Qingyu took him to buy a suit last time.

He didn’t expect to return so soon.

The two got out of the car, Ye Shikai was about to take the opportunity to pull his arm away, but Luo Shiqi lunged forward, grabbed his arm, and clung to it once again.

“Come on, let’s get you a suit,” Luo Shiqi said, dragging him into the mall without any room for discussion, stopping at a boutique — the same one Su Qingyu brought him to previously.

“Miss, can I help you with something?” A salesperson approached and asked, stealing a glance at Ye Shikai beside her, her expression suddenly turning to surprise, “Sir, you’re here to buy another suit?”
