Shen Lang quietly held Li Liusi's tall and curvy figure, gently rubbing her flushed, pink earlobes.
The two of them were quietly enjoying the moment in the kitchen.
Li Liusi really liked this feeling, her face beaming with a happy smile.
She instinctively wanted to hold Shen Lang's hand but noticed her hands were covered in greasy stains and gave up the idea.
"You said you had something to do, right?"
Thinking about Shen Lang's other plans, Li Liusi reluctantly broke the lovely mood: "Aren't you going to be late?"
"Yeah, i should go."
Shen Lang finally gathered the will to let go of Li Liusi and, holding her sticky hands, said with a hint of irritation and a smile.
"Alright, enough of that. Be good and hurry up and wash your hands. I'll find someone to clean it up another day."
"Okay."
Li Liusi obediently responded, squeezing some dish soap to wash her hands, still smiling happily with her rosy face.
"What are you grinning about?"
Shen Lang tilted his head curiously, watching the cute girl.
Li Liusi denied it: "Nothing."
Shen Lang teased, "Nothing? Your smile is practically stretching to your ears."
Li Liusi, blushing, stayed silent, too shy to explain her contented feelings.
She turned back to continue washing her dirty hands, giving Shen Lang a slender profile view.
Li Liusi was tall, and in her simple floral dress, washing her hands, she looked like a charming housewife.
Looking further up, you saw her pretty, shy face.
Just considering her figure alone, Li Liusi was stunning.
Her slight bend while washing her hands showcased her tall and flexible body beautifully.
Her impressive curves swayed slightly with the motion of her hands, creating a striking effect.
Watching quietly, Shen Lang's earlier regret about bothering Li Liusi vanished without a trace.
He even thought, with such a beautiful girl and great figure, shouldn't he be the one to flirt with her rather than letting other guys have a go?
Unable to resist, Shen Lang gave Li Liusi's little bum a playful pat, then grabbed his car keys and wallet: "Eat, then go back and rest early, okay?"
Li Liusi blushed, giving a cute "mm" sound.
It was only after Shen Lang completely left the room that Li Liusi subconsciously rubbed her slightly sore backside, pouting like a spoiled wife.
"Humph, you're such a jerk."
...
On his way to the Western restaurant, it suddenly started pouring rain.
Xia Shuyi also sent a concerned message, reminding Shen Lang to drive carefully in the rain.
The rain got heavier and heavier, but fortunately, there was no traffic jam.
Around 8:20 PM, Shen Lang arrived at the Western restaurant Xia Shuyi mentioned.
A beautiful hostess in a suit greeted him politely: "Hello, sir. Do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, the table number is A1."
Shen Lang told the hostess the reservation number provided by Xia Shuyi.
The hostess looked slightly surprised and immediately showed a somewhat excited friendly smile.
"Mr. Shen, right? Please follow me."
Shen Lang followed the hostess into the restaurant.
Inside, the waitstaff and the bartender all gave Shen Lang curious looks.
Seeing this, the female manager at the reception signaled the hostess to step aside.
She personally led Shen Lang to a VIP room, gracefully lifting the red curtain with her gloved hand.
Xia Shuyi and her daughter Mengmeng were sitting quietly inside the room.
The restaurant's setup was full of romance and elegance.
In the quiet room, the soft light fell on the exquisite dining table, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere.
Candles flickered softly on the candlestick, adding a touch of mysterious charm to the space.
Red rose petals were scattered on the table, symbolizing love and passion.
The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, making one feel relaxed and happy.
Inside the quiet room, Xia Shuyi, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was elegantly typing on her laptop.
Today she wore a snug white long-sleeve top, with her fair collarbone and a proud figure contrasting sharply with her slender waist.
Her smooth, long legs were in soft, loose white pants, giving her a graceful, mature woman's charm.
Perhaps this was the main reason Xia Shuyi had maintained her yoga practice for many years.
At thirty-six, her figure was more shapely and upright than many women in their twenties, showing no signs of aging.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if Xia Shuyi dressed up a bit and walked down the street, no one would believe she was a single mother of a six-year-old!
Mengmeng, barefoot, snuggled up to her mother and happily watched a cartoon on the phone screen.
Xia Shuyi, usually gentle and virtuous, now had a serious and business-like demeanor, exuding the unique charm of a successful woman.
Shen Lang didn't find anything odd about Xia Shuyi.
In 2024, with the rapid development of the internet, it was no longer the traditional era.
With two properties worth over a billion, how could Xia Shuyi be just a landlord's wife?
"Boss Xia, your guest has arrived."
The female manager's soft reminder made Xia Shuyi snap out of her focus.
As soon as she saw Shen Lang, her serious expression melted away, replaced by her warm and gentle landlord smile.
"Little Shen, you're here?"
"Sorry, Xia Jie, the traffic was terrible, and it was raining. I left at 7:30 and got stuck until now."
"No worries."
Xia Shuyi closed her laptop, took off her glasses, and flashed a friendly smile: "Come in and sit down."
"Big Brother Shen!"
Mengmeng also noticed Shen Lang's arrival, standing on the sofa with her bare feet and eagerly opening her arms, wanting him to pick her up.
"Hey, who's this little cutie?"
Shen Lang picked up the chubby little girl and pinched her cheek, asking: "You've gotten heavier. Have you been sneaking chocolate cake behind your mom's back?"
"Not at all."
The little girl giggled in Shen Lang's arms, wriggling her soft face around, avoiding his big hand.
Xia Shuyi watched them with satisfaction before telling the female manager by the curtain: "Start serving the food."
"Okay."
The female manager smiled knowingly, lowered the curtain gracefully, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Today's young people really don't want to work hard at all."
