Chapter One: Miss is Quiet Confident!

Shen City.

After settling her son, Shen Shuxin put on her Sunglasses and nose mask and went to the Shen's Group. Anything that Bai Lu cared about, she would definitely take back with her own hand. And that's just the beginning of her revenge for ruining her.

At the entrance of the Shen's Group, the receptionist ask politely, "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"I'm here to apply for the position of the Chief Perfumer!" Shen Shuxin replied, smiling lightly.

The receptionist looked at Shen Shuxin masked face and couldn't help but show a hint of disdain in her eyes. Her tone also became slow, "I'm sorry, miss, our company doesn't need a Chief Perfumer."

Shen Shuxin naturally knew what she was thinking, but after a light laugh, she didn't bother to explain. After all, her purpose was indeed that, wasn't it?

"I think you should notify your CEO first and ask if he needs one or not."

This time, Shen Shuxin came back fully prepared. She had enough confident to make that person keep her!

"This young lady, I have already make myself clear. Please don't interfere with my work here, okay?"

"People like you who want to climb the ladder by sleeping with the CEO are a dime a dozen. Give up on that idea!"

The receptionist's face was full of disgust. No one will respect those who rely on their bodies to make a living.

"Besides, we already have the CEO's wife. Don't waste your time here!"

The CEO's wife?

Bai Lu.

Ha, six years ago, Bai Lu resorted to dirty tricks to get this position. Now that she's back, can she still smoothly take this position?

"What's happening here?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Shen Shuxin.

As soon as the front desk saw someone coming, their previously arrogant expression immediately turned nervous.

"CEO... This young lady says she wants to apply for the position of the Chief Perfumer.

 I was just about to ask the security to kick her out!" The front desk spoke trembling, afraid that Shen Tingsheng would get angry and fire here.

Even though Shen Shuxin's son already told her to be mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but tremble slightly at the front desk's words. The memory of that night six years ago was still a brand etched deep in her heart, never to be forgotten.

After calming herself down, Shen Shuxin spoke calmly, "Mr. Shen, Hello! I'm here to apply for the position of the Chief Perfumer of your company!"

Her voice sounded familiar!

Shen Tingsheng's eyes flashed with suspicion. When he saw Shen Shuxin masked face, he sneered, "You're here to apply for the position of the Chief Perfumer, yet your face is masked. You certainly have a lot of attitude!"

As he spoke, Shen Tingsheng took two steps forward. The faint fragrance emanating from Shen Shuxin's body caused his eyebrows to raise slightly.

Shen Shuxin smiled, "Mr. Shen, my face is not what just everyone can see, if Mr. Shen is interested in my face, let him find a private place for me."

Shen Tingsheng withdrew his gaze and laughed coldly, " Miss is quite confident."

Shen Shuxin smiled and spoke calmly, "Whoever has my looks, wouldn't be confident? But my skills in perfumery is not something everyone has."

This kind of bold tone, spoken by Shen Shuxin, didn't seems at all unrealistic.

"interesting!"

Shen Tingsheng stared at her masked face, unable to hide his strong interest.

"So, Mr. Shen, do you think I'm qualified to be your company's Chief Perfumer?"

Shen Tingsheng said calmly, "Whether you have the qualifications or not depends on your abilities!"

"Xue Mao, take this young lady to the VIP room." Shen Tingsheng said to his assistant.

Xue Mao respectfully replied, "Yes!"

Shen Shuxin picked up her bag, with a faint smile on her lips.

She knew that if Shen Tingsheng agreed to give her a chance, then she would definitely be able to stay.

The CEO's Office.

Shen Tingsheng sat in his office chair, tapping his fingers on the desk from time to time. "So, Miss Shen, can I see your face now?"

Shen Shuxin lips curved into a smile as she slowly took off her sunglasses and nose mask. When that stunning face was completely revealed, Shen Tingsheng's cold expression softened a bit.

That woman in front of him had a clear and lively eyes, with an innocent expression on her face. The slightly upturned peach blossom eyes added a touch of charm to her pure little face, as if she could bewitched and with just a blink of an eye or a word.

This was the first time Shen Tingsheng has seen a woman who could blend innocence and charm so harmoniously.

The first was stunning, the second was shocking, and the third was heart-stirring.

Shen Shuxin's lips curled up as she lightly opened her vermilion lips, "Have you seen enough, Mr. Shen?"

As Shen Tingsheng was sizing her up, she was also secretly sizing him up. This man was the one who had tortured her Six years ago, leaving her on the brinks of death.

Sharp lines, deep eyes, even more dazzling than A Midsummer Night Dream.

Chapter Two: This Miss Shen... She's Really Daring!

He was quite handsome!

But when it came to Shen Tingsheng, Shen Shuxin couldn't muster any liking for him, only resentment.

If it weren't for him, Bai Lu wouldn't have even consider her.

She wouldn't have been killed.

A strange look flashed in Shen Shuxin's eyes and disappeared in an instant!

Shen Tingsheng withdrew his gaze and used a cold laugh to cover up his lost of composure. "So, Miss Shen, what about your resume?"

Shen Shuxin blinked her eyes, "Who said you must have a resume to apply for a job?"

As she spoke, Shen Tingsheng glanced meaningfully at her. This woman with the same surname as his own is really daring.

Xue Mao, who had been standing behind Shen Tingsheng the whole time, couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for her.

This Miss Shen... She's really daring! Even Miss Bai dare not talk to the CEO like this.

However, what puzzled Xue Mao was that the CEO didn't get angry. He just frowned and ask calmly, "So, Miss Shen, how do you prove yourself?"

"As far as I know, the Su Couple came to this city resently to select a long-term partner. I believe Shen's wouldn't miss this opportunity to cooperate with the Su's, would they?"

Shen Shuxin looked confident, as if everything was under her control.

The Su couple was the founder of Sun Ray, one of the largest overseas enterprises.

However, Sun Ray is also the biggest international cooperation in China. If the Shen family could successfully secure a partnership agreement with them, it would definitely be a huge project.

Shen Tingsheng nooded in agreement, his sharp gaze falling on Shen Shuxin as if trying to see through her.

How did this little woman know about this matter.

The fact that the Sun Ray Couple came to China to select a partnership had not been leaked, and even within their circle, few people knew about it.

Shen Shuxin's lips curved into a smile, as she has suspected. When she was in overseas, she had heard her son mentioned the Sun Ray Couple.

Judging from the timing, they should have arrived in China these past few days. Such a big piece of meat, the Shen's would definitely not let others snatched it away.

"What if I told you I could help you secure a partnership with the Su Couple?"

Shen Shuxin's words, spoken with a smile on her red lips, were shocking enough to make even Shen Tingsheng's indifferent expression turn serious.

"Do you even know what you're talking about?" Shen Tingsheng furrowed his brows and ask sternly, unsure of the confidence on her face.

Shen Shuxin chuckled, "Let me Join the Shen Group, and I'll help you secure the cooperation rights with the Su Couple! This deal is a sure win for the Shen Group!" 

Shen Shuxin was confident, and Shen Tingsheng couldn't refuse such a tempting offer.

No entrepreneur would refuse such a lucrative opportunity.

"Shen Tingsheng, think twice!" Xue Mao, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but remind him. In his eyes, this woman was using any necessary means to get close to the CEO, spouting nonsense.

Shen Tingsheng waved his hand, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. He considered himself experienced in reading people, but he had a feeling that he couldn't see through this woman in front of him.

"Why are you helping the Shen Group?" Shen Tingsheng asked coldly. He didn't want to add an uncertain factor to his side without knowing the reason.

"Because... I'll be needing CEO Shen's help later in the future." Shen Shuxin replied naturally. 

That's her main reason for coming to the Shen Group. No man in Shen City could help her except Shen Tingsheng.

Xue Mao couldn't believe what he was hearing. Who could tell him where Miss Shen came from? Does she think Mr. Shen care about employees future?

However, in reality, Shen Tingsheng had no reaction at all. He was even a little intoxicated by the woman's scent.

"I promise!" Shen Tingsheng agreed readily, which surprised Xue Mao greatly.

Could it be that miracles do happen?

Shen Shuxin smiled as if she had expected this, "Mr. Shen is a smart man."

"I have something to discuss with Miss Shen alone. Could you please leave first?" Shen Tingsheng said to Xue Mao.

Xue Mao didn't know what the CEO was up to, but he obediently left the office and closed the door behind him.

She Shuxin leaned back in her chair, elegantly crossing her legs. She smiled lightly but was actually a little nervous inside.

She didn't feel so uneasy when there was a third person present just now. Now, with Shen Tingsheng staring at her intently, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"And what if Miss Shen is unable to secure the partnership with the Sun Ray couple?" Shen Tingsheng voice echoed deeply in the office, drifting her from her thought.

She tried to smile more naturally and not let Shen Tingsheng see any flaws. "Then Mr. Shen can punish me."

She was very confident that she could secure the partnership for the Shen Group.

Suddenly, Shen Tingsheng stood up and walked slowly towards Shen Shuxin.

"Miss Shen, have you always been this confident?" Shen Tingsheng hooked the corner of his mouth, leaning over, with one hand resting on the back of the Chair.

Chapter Three: Be My Assistant..

A wave of male aura hit her face, especially those scorching breath that blew in her ear, making her even more Chapter Two: This Miss Shen... She's Really Daring!

He was quite handsome!

But when it came to Shen Tingsheng, Shen Shuxin couldn't muster any liking for him, only resentment.

If it weren't for him, Bai Lu wouldn't have even consider her.

Shen Shuxin chuckled, "Let me Join the Shen Group, and I'll help you secure the cooperation rights with the Su Couple! This deal is a sure win for the Shen Group!" 

Shen Shuxin was confident, and Shen Tingsheng couldn't refuse such a t.

A flash of panic crossed her usually confident face. Instantly, she pushed the man with all her strength and stood up, picking up her bag.

"If there's nothing else, contact me if you accept my proposal." Shen Shuxin said, dropping her card on the table and walked towards the door in a long stride.

"Wait!" Shen Tingsheng said with a curve on his lips. "I'll accept your proposal on a condition."

Shen Shuxin tried to calm herself down, and faced him, "What condition?"

"Be my assistant and my company's Chief Perfumer, I'll treat you well!"

Listening to Shen Tingsheng's serious tone, Shen Shuxin gritted her teeth in anger.

After giving Shen Tingsheng a fierced glare, Shen Shuxin left the office without looking back.

Xue Mao, who had been waiting outside the door, greeted her with a smile, "Miss Shen.. "

But Shen Shuxin didn't even give him a glance, she stomped her five-inch high heels, and left in anger.

Xue Mao looked confused, what did their CEO say to Miss Shen, But then he thought of their CEO's behavior and Miss Shen's way of talking to him, and a realization dawn to him.

 Their CEO must have rejected her cooperation too harshly, causing her to lose face. The more Xue Mao thought about it, the more he believed this was the case.

In the office, Shen Tingsheng watched as Shen Shuxin fled, a small smile forming on his lips as he muttered to himself "interesting!"

The faint scent of Shen Shuxin lingered in the office. It had been a long time since Shen Tingsheng had closed his eyes, and for the first time, he felt a sense of fatigue. He leaned on the desk and soon fell into a deep sleep, snoring softly.

Xue Mao pushed open the door and found Shen Tingsheng sleeping on the desk, snoring lightly. This scene almost brought tears to his eyes. After all, how many days had it been since their CEO had slept? Even an iron man couldn't hold out forever!

To avoid disturbing Shen Tingsheng, Xue Mao quietly left the office and carefully closed the door behind him. He founded a quite place and dialed one of the few numbers in his contact list.

After leaving Shen Corporation, Shen Shuxin didn't immediately go home. instead, she went to a Starbucks Coffee Shop. 

A man in a suit and glasses was sitting on the second floor by the window, reading a newspaper. He had an average appearance and was a kind of person who would be lost in a crowd.

Shen Shuxin walked straight to him and sat opposite him, asking directly, "Is there still no news?"

The man with glasses is name Xu Kai, a private detective.

For years, Shen Shuxin had hired Xu Kai to investigate the whereabout of her remaining child.

Six years ago, She was fortunate enough that the Bai Family didn't know about the other two kids. After giving birth to the first child, which was a male, they instructed the doctor in charge to give her a death injection.

Fortunately for her, the Doctor couldn't bring himself to do it and gave her money to flew abroad. 

At that time, the only thing she couldn't let go was her child.

Bai Family already killed her family. In this world, except from the two little guys, that child was her only relatives.

However, Where's her Son?

Did they killed him or used him to get closer to Shen Tingsheng as she had thought?

Her Son's whereabout were like a mystery from beginning to end, Shen Shuxin had not found any clues, just guesses.

She rubbed her temples with a headache, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated!

"Miss Shen, I'm sorry but there's no clue yet," Xu Kai replied.

"Thank you, I will regularly deposit the payment into your account. Please continue to follow up on this matter!"

"Miss Shen is to polite. It is my duty!"

Shen Shuxin smiled lightly and left the coffee shop.

As the night fell, the stars spread across the sky.

Shen Shuxin entered her apartment after entering the password. Shen Yue, who was playing Lego toys on the sofa heard her mother's footsteps from afar and ran over with her short legs, hugging Shen Shuxin's thighs. Looking up with her cute and round face, she said, "Mom, I missed you so much."

Looking at her daughter's cute and adorable appearance, Shen Shuxin squatted down and picked her up, saying, "Mom misses Yue too!" 

After putting her on the sofa, Shen Shuxin looked at the high-difficulty Lego Star War Millennium Falcon that she had only half completed, secretly admiring her daughter's talent. This was a Lego toy for adults, yet Shen Yue, this little elf have already completed half of it so quickly!

"Mom will prepare Shen Yue's favorite for dinner today," Shen Shuxin said, earning her another kiss from her daughter.

Shen Shuxin rubbed her daughter's head and asked, "Where is your brother?" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yue covering her face with her hands and saying, "Yue can't tell you."

Shen Shuxin narrowed her eyes dangerously and said, "Confess and you will be lenient. Did your brother did something bad again?" Shen Yue peeped at Shen Shuxin through her fingers.

Watching her daughter's small movement, Shen Shuxin had a sudden realization and quickly turned around, walking briskly towards the study. The apartment was not large, with a three bedroom, one living room layout, plus three spacious balconies, which was enough for three people to use. 

In the study, Shen Shuxin caught Shen Zhiyan, who was staring at the computer with a serious expression on his pretty face

"Shen Zhiyan! You touched my computer without permission again!" Shen Shuxin snatched the computer away intentionally.

Shen Zhiyan didn't feel guilty at all. He crossed his arms and cleared his throat and said with a cold face, "Mommy, you're back. It seems like a bad guy is watching us."

Shen Shuxin looked puzzled and rubbed the little one's head, "Zhiyan, I didn't tell anyone about my return this time. Which bad guy are you talking about?"

"Don't you know, Mommy?" The two little ones tilted their head in unison.

Zhiyan collected the laptop from his mother and clicked an email.

[Shinning Star Designer, I am Bai Lu, the young miss of the Bai Group. Through a friend's message, I know you have returned to China. I will personally prepare one million gift for our meeting. Please talk to me.]

The tone was earnest, as if afraid that she would run away.

Shen Shuxin sneered. After so many years, Bai Lu hadn't learned anything except from shamelessness.

Three months ago, Bai Group offered her one million to design a True Love Diamond Ring, but Shen Shuxin refused.

Though she was a Perfumer, she was also a world renowned designer.

Slowly, the offer increased to two million, three million, and up to the current six million.

Six million was not a small amount and Bai Lu must have been heart broken.

Shen Shuxin's expression became subtle, if Bai Lu knew that the designer she was begging so desperately was the girl she used to refer to as a slave, what a wonderful moment it would be.

Shen Shuxin raised her eyebrows and casually closed her computer. 

Six million was too little. Her intended price was thirty million.

Chapter Four: With This Mommy, Little beans will have a caused to worry.

Shen Yue interrupted. "It was sent by that bad woman. I asked my brother to delete them."

Bad Woman? Bai Lu?

Originally, these two little beans was worried that she would be bullied by Bai Lu, so they touched her computer.

Realizing this, Shen Shuxin immediately felt guilty. She hugged her eldest son with her left hand and her daughter with her right hand. "It's Mommy's fault for making you worry. "Mommy wants to tell you that you don't have to worry about me. That bad woman can't bully Mommy, okay?"

The two little beans looked at each other and nodded, their face full of disbelief.

Shen Shuxin was speechless.

Yes, she was too soft-hearted. In a foreign country, she gave money to a disable person, and the next second Shen Zhiyan had a way to exposed that the disable person was a fake; she clicked on a link on a shopping website and the next second Shen Yue found out that she had been cheated, fortunately the amount of the money on the bank card was not much, Shen Zhiyan blackmailed the other person and got the money back...

There were countless examples like this.

Therefore, the two little cuties were very worried about their mother.

They always felt that this mother was very troublesome, and having her as their mother was a constant worry.

Shen Shuxin coughed nervously and handed the computer to Shen Zhiyan, who quickly tapped the keyboard three times and restored the email.

Shen Shuxin took the computer and looked at it carefully.

She asked for an address and immediately transferred the money. The samples could be sent over tomorrow.

An cold smile appeared on Shen Shuxin's lips.

Interesting, what does Bai Lu need the design for so urgently?

Within a minute, a text message on her phone notified her that a six-figure sum had been deposited!

As she read the bank message, Shen Shuxin's lips curled into a slight smile. When the time comes, she would make the Bai Family pay back everything they owed her a hundred fold!

Shen Shuxin's hand slowly tapped a line of text on the keyboard.

"The money has been received."

She selected "send" with her mouse and clicked.

"Mom, are you really going to help that bad woman?" Shen Yue saw the large sum on money on her mother's phone and frowned in confusion. "Why are you helping her? Does she deserve it?

When others want Mom to design for them, they not only had to pay a high price, but also had to visit in person. That bad woman only sent a few emails and Mom agreed to create a design for her. She's getting off so easily.

Shen Yue clenched her little fist and snorted coldly.

Shen Shuxin smiled and put away her phone, closed the computer, and gently touch Shen Yue's hair with her fair and tender hand. There was a hint of a planned smile on her lips. "Why not make money if you have the opportunity? Besides, Mom won't let her go easily."

Shen Yue and Shen Zhiyan looked at each other, tilted their heads, and wondered what their Mom meant.

Shen Shuxin didn't explain to the two little kids. She cleaned up the clutter on the desk, and said, "okay, Mom's work is done! Now it's time for you to take a bath and get ready for bed!"

After helping Shen Zhiyan and Shen Yue take a bath and putting them to bed, Shen Shuxin turned on the desk lamp and began to carefully research the business scope of the Shen Group, where Shen Tingsheng worked, in recent years. Since she had no choice than to agree to Shen Tingsheng request to be his assistant, she naturally had to do her job well.

During the interview, she had mentioned the Su Couple, so she need to come up with a perfume that would make the Sun Ray appreciate her.

Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to facilitate a cooperation between the Sun Ray and Shen Tingsheng.

The next day, Shen Shuxin walked into the Shen Group building wearing a pair of black sunglasses and black nose mask. She walked to the front desk and tapping her finger on the table, saying in a charming tone, "Do you have my package?"

The front desk worker looked up, wasn't it this woman who had been shouting to see Mr. Shen yesterday? Why was she her again, asking about her package? Who knew what her name was? She wasn't even an employee of the Shen Group, so who would send a package to the company for her? Did she get taken away by Mr. Shen yesterday and became delusional.

The front desk look at Shen Shuxin with a hint of disgust in her eyes. "Miss, we only accept package for the employees of our Company, so who would send a package to the Company for you?"

After hearing this, Shen Shuxin lifted her sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that made the front desk workers gasp. She lightly tapped her finger on the table and leaned on the desk, saying, "Mr. Shen already hired me as the Chief Perfumer of the Company and his assistant. If you don't believe me, you can call him, or...call his assistant."

The receptionist made a phone call and the call was quickly answered, "Mr. Shen's assistant, there's a woman here who claimed to be Mr. Shen's new assistant. Should I let her in?"

"Let her come up. She's Mr. Shen's new assistant and will be working with me."

The receptionist was shocked. The woman in front on her, whose identity she don't know was actually Mr. Shen's assistant. She hung up the phone awkwardly and coughed. "Mr. Shen's assistant said to let you in."

Shen Shuxin smiled at her, staring at her until she felt uncomfortable, "Is there anything else?" the receptionist asked, her tone not very friendly.

Shen Shuxin lightly tapped the table with her fingers. "Do you have my package? The recipient is Shinning Star. Please check."

A few minutes later, Shen Shuxin walked towards the elevator with her package from Bai Lu, like a victorious swan with her long neck held high.

Chapter Five: Shen Shuxin, I know you're beautiful, but don't think too beautifully.

Xue Mao was waiting for ShChapter Five: Shen Shuxin, I know you're beautiful, but don't think too beautifully.

Xue Mao was waiting for Shen Shuxin not far away as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. He glanced at the express delivery in her hand and said, "Come to my office. You need to know about President Shen's work schedule."

He looked up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. Yesterday when Shen Shuxin left President Shen's office, he thought that President Shen would not hire this woman as the Chief Perfumer. But to his surprise, President Shen not only told him that he had hired this woman as the Chief Perfumer but also as his assistant.

Hired? Xue Mao had been with Shen Tingsheng for many years, but it was his first time he had seen someone favoured by President Shen just by her appearance.

Xue Mao handed a thick notebook and said, "Miss Shen, this is President Shen's schedule for the next six months, including whom he will meet, whom he will entertain, which banquet he will attend and whose invitation he will accept."

Shen Shuxin couldn't help but frown. She would be responsible for President Shen's personal schedule?

"Xue Assistant, I want to ask how personal is the personal schedule?"

"Personal to any extent you can imagine."

"Does that include sleeping with him?"

Xue Mao's lips twitched slightly.He raised his eyes and scrutinized the new President Shen's assistant in front of him again. "Shen Shuxin, I admit that after seeing your face under the mask yesterday, you're indeed beautiful, but don't think too beautifully."

There were countless of women who wanted to climb into President Shen's bed, but they all fell back when they met Bai Lu, who claimed to be President Shen's Fiancee.

Shen Shuxin breath a sigh of relief and relaxed her expression. She wanted to take revenge on Bai Lu and her family, but it didn't mean she wanted to use her body as a bargaining chip.

If it weren't for Shen Tingsheng, she wouldn't have caught Bai Lu's attention. In the end, Shen Tingsheng was the main reason for Bai Lu's plot against her.

Seeing Shen Shuxin's reaction, Xue Mao pursed his lips. What was Shen Shuxin thinking. She was relieved to hear that she didn't have to sleep with Shen Tingsheng? Did she think Mr. Shen had some shameful habits, so she was afraid?

Xue Mao shook his head. Did she really think that Mr. Shen had some dirty secreten Shuxin not far away as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. He glanced at the express delivery in her hand and said, "Come to my office. You need to know about President Shen's work schedule."

He looked up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. Yesterday when Shen Shuxin left President Shen's office, he thought that President Shen would not hire this woman as the Chief Perfumer. But to his surprise, President Shen not only told him that he had hired this woman as the Chief Perfumer but also as his assistant.

Hired? Xue Mao had been with Shen Tingsheng for many years, but it was his first time he had seen someone favoured by President Shen just by her appearance.

Xue Mao handed a thick notebook and said, "Miss Shen, this is President Shen's schedule for the next six months, including whom he will meet, whom he will entertain, which banquet he will attend and whose invitation he will accept."

Shen Shuxin couldn't help but frown. She would be responsible for President Shen's personal schedule?

"Xue Assistant, I want to ask how personal is the personal schedule?"

"Personal to any extent you can imagine."

"Does that include sleeping with him?"

Xue Mao's lips twitched slightly.He raised his eyes and scrutinized the new President Shen's assistant in front of him again. "Shen Shuxin, I admit that after seeing your face under the mask yesterday, you're indeed beautiful, but don't think too beautifully."

There were countless of women who wanted to climb into President Shen's bed, but they all fell back when they met Bai Lu, who claimed to be President Shen's Fiancee.

Shen Shuxin breath a sigh of relief and relaxed her expression. She wanted to take revenge on Bai Lu and her family, but it didn't mean she wanted to use her body as a bargaining chip.

If it weren't for Shen Tingsheng, she wouldn't have caught Bai Lu's attention. In the end, Shen Tingsheng was the main reason for Bai Lu's plot against her.

Seeing Shen Shuxin's reaction, Xue Mao pursed his lips. What was Shen Shuxin thinking. She was relieved to hear that she didn't have to sleep with Shen Tingsheng? Did she think Mr. Shen had some shameful habits, so she was afraid?

Xue Mao shook his head. Did she really think that Mr. Shen had some dirty secrets? That's why she was afraid?

"Assistant Xue, is there anything else you need to tell me, if not, please let me know what my job is today and where my office is," Shen Shuxin blinked, pretending not to notice Xue Mao small movement.

Xue Mao came back to his senses and brought Shen Shuxin to her office, which was next to President Shen Tingsheng's office.

"Assistant Shen, this will be your office from now on. Today, you should familiarize yourself with the work process. I have already complied President Shen's preferences and put them on your desk. Be sure to avoid anything that President Shen dislike during work, otherwise you will be fired!"

Shen Shuxin nodded indicating that she would definitely read the memo about President Shen's preferences and remember them.

After seeing Xue Mao off, Shen Shuxin looked at the thick file on her desk about Shen Tingsheng preferences and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She moved the file aside and open the package, which contained the design theme sent by Bai Lu.

As a designer, Shen Shuxin had her own pride, which was that she would never imitate other people's design.

Even if the design was made by a famous master, she would never allow herself to violate her principles, even if she had accepted Bai Lu's money and wanted to retaliate against her.

After leaving Shen Shuxin's office, Xue Mao returned to his own office. Shortly after sitting down, his internal phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Shen Tingsheng, Xue Mao dare not delay and quickly answered.

"Has Shen Shuxin report to duty?" Shen Tingsheng low and cold voice came through the phone.

"She has reported and I have followed your instruction to bring her to the office next to yours, she should be working by now," Xue Mao replied.

The office next to Shen Tingsheng's had been empty since Xue Mao became his assistant. Did Shen Tingsheng really value Shen Shuxin that much?

"Ask her to come to my office," Shen Tingsheng said before hanging up.

Xue Mao didn't dare to waste any time and immediately conveyed Shen Tingsheng's request to Shen Shuxin. Shen Shuxin packed up the design and put them in the drawer before giving Xue Mao a slight smile. "Please tell him that I'm available, but I wonder what it's about?"

"President Shen didn't say, you'll have to find out by yourself," Xue Mao felt sorry for Shen Shuxin, wondering if she could withstand Shen Tingsheng devilish work intensity.

Shen Shuxin knocked on the door of Shen Tingsheng with her knuckles. A deep male voice came from inside, "Come in."

Shen Shuxin pushed open the door and entered the spacing office. Shen Tingsheng was frowning, concentrating on reading some documents. Hearing the sound of the door, he put down the documents and looked up at Shen Shuxin standing at the door. His thin lips parted slightly, "Sit."

"I wonder why Mr. Shen summoned me here?" Shen Shuxin sat elegantly on the sofa and asked in a gentle and pleasant voice.

The sofa was not far from Shen Tingsheng's desk, and a refreshing fragrance caught his attention. His handsome eyebrows furrowed but the scent calmed his restless thoughts and even made him feel drowsy.

"What perfume are you wearing?" Shen Tingsheng asked without thinking.

Shen Shuxin was stunned. Did he call her here just to ask about her perfume?

"As a Perfumer, I naturally use the perfume I created myself," Shen Shuxin replied with a soft and alluring voice.

Shen Tingsheng's frown deepened as the scent on Shen Shuxin reminded him of something familiar, but he couldn't quite remember where he had smelled it before.

Soon, Shen Tingsheng relaxed his eyebrows, his gaze landed on her face, and a hint of anger flashed through his eyes, "Why are you still putting on mask?"

Nose mask? She didn't have any agreement with Shen Tingsheng about not putting on nose mask, so what was he saying?

Shen Shuxin spoke with a hint of displeasure in her voice, "Mr. Shen,we didn't have any agreement about not wearing nose mask."

"Don't wear it around me," Shen Tingsheng said more like a warning.

"Yesterday, you mentioned the Sun Ray Couple during the interview," he said, drifting her off her thoughts and continued, "And you said you could help the Shen secure a cooperation with them." Shen Tingsheng said folding his arms.

Shen Shuxin smiled and answered calmly, "Yes, Mr. Shen, I did mention that I could help you secure a cooperation with the Su Couple."

Shen Tingsheng was not an easy man to be fool. He had built a business empire for the Shen Group in just few years since taking over, which show his talent and determination.

Shen Shuxin confidently continued, "The Sus have always had a strong interest in perfumes, and Sun Ray is one of the largest clothing brand in the world. To secure a cooperation with them, we can combine perfume and clothing perfectly from these two aspects."

With that Shen Shuxin stood up, removed her mask, and walked leisurely to the table, her clear and pure eyes gazing down at her boss from above.

"As for me, I can mix the perfume they love the most."

In Shen Shuxin's clear and beautiful eyes, there was a confident light shining.

Only she could create the perfume that the Su like, only she could facilitate the cooperation between the Shens and the Sus.

Chapter Six: Who was trying to seduce him?

This uncontrollably feeling made Shen Tingsheng somewhat uncomfortable.

He lazily leaned back on his comfortable chair, his dark eyes scanning Shen Shuxin's hand resting on the table.

The faint but irresistibly fragrance invaded his senses.

Shen Tingsheng frowned, as if he wanted to shake off this feeling. "Are you sure? Everyone who has claimed to have hundred percent certainty in front of me has failed. Those who talk and can't deliver in the end..."

He intentionally didn't finish his sentence, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"It's not just about getting fired. Those who waste my precious time and can't deliver will pay a price."

Shen Tingsheng's warning was clear.

Shen Shuxin seemed to have not understood his warning or perhaps she was fully confident.

Shen Tingsheng saw her smile lightly and then her speaking eyes looked at him seriously, her red lips slightly parted.

"Mr. Shen, don't worry. I will give you a satisfying answer. If I fail to facilitate the cooperation between the Sun Ray and your company, then I will work for the Shen's for free and create perfumes for your company. How about that? my bet is not small!"

Shen Shuxin finished speaking and unnoticed by the man, took a deep breath and tightened her palms.

She had bet too much this time.

If she failed, she would be working for Shen Tingsheng for free for the rest of her life.

She couldn't fail, she had to succeed.

Xue Mao came to deliver the financial report to Shen And saw Shen Shuxin leaving his office with a displeased expression. What had happened between them and why did Shen Shuxin look like this? Xue Mao wondered. Yesterday, when she left Shen Tingsheng's office, she had the same look on her face.

Xue Mao pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Shen, here's the financial report for this quarter."

Shen Tingsheng, as calm as Xue Mao remember, was correcting the report and had not even looked up.

"Put it there," Shen Tingsheng said simply.

Xue Mao was puzzled. Mr. Shen doesn't seem angry at all, so why did assistant Shen look like she wanted to curse someone when she left?

Shen Shuxin considered herself to have a good temper, few people could provoke her fury. But Shen Tingsheng manage to easily provoked her, yesterday and today.

Who was trying to seduce him? She just wanted to get revenge on Bai Lu, that's all.

Gritting her teeth, Shen Shuxin sat down, opened her computer, and was about to start planning how to make a perfume that will sastify Sun Ray couple and facilitate cooperation between Sun Ray and Shen Group when a 'ding dong' sound reminded her of an email.

Bai Lu couldn't wait to get the design, in the email, she ordered Shen Shuxin, "Shinning Star, hurry up. I urgently need the design. If you need more money, it's not a problem. I need the design as soon as possible."

Because of Shen Tingsheng's words, Shen Shuxin was already in a bad mood. Bai Lu happened to be in in the line of fire, so don't blame her for being impolite!

Since your fiance has offended me, please pay more money to calm me down! Shen Shuxin thought, with a sly smile on her face.

She replied leisurely, "Miss Bai, it takes time to draft out a design. You sent me the design theme today, and I can't immediately design it. If you think I'm so slow, you can find someone else. Also, I have already seen the design, and the theme is quite complicated. Please pay more three million, so it can be deliver on time."

Bai Lu received Shen Shuxin's email and was so angry that she was about to explode.

How dare a mere designer speak to her like this!

If it weren't for the fact that only Shen Shuxin can create the design, she would definitely make sure that the designer could no longer work in the design industry.

Bai Lu gritted her teeth and transferred another three million yuan to Shuxin's account. Shen Shuxin glanced at her phone and hummed a tune happily. She was going to take her two precious children, Shen Yue and Shen Zhiyan, out for a big dinner tonight!

Few hours later, Bai Lu quickly sent an email to Shen Shuxin. She had received the design theme for this year international jewelry competition, and the competition is in a month time.

Bai Lu knew within herself that she had no skills in design and she had always take the first position using some means.

With a sinister expression, Bai Lu typed on her computer's keyboard, "I want to change the theme of the design, is that okay?"

In the office, Shen Shuxin raised an eyebrow, what was Bai Lu planing this time? "According to the rule,it is not impossible before I submit the final design. However, if the design theme is complicated than the previous one, you'll have to pay more money." She Shuxin replied.

"Great! I want a design theme of Snow." Although she was unwilling in her heart, Bai Lu had to ask for Shuxin's inspiration with a thick skin. "I need the final version of this design within two weeks."

A hint of surprise flashed through Shen Shuxin's eyes.

Snow...

Was this theme a coincidence or what?

After pondering for a moment, Shen Shuxin instructed Bai Lu, "Send the requirements."

Bai Lu quickly sent the email to Shen Shuxin. She looked at the content of the email and had more doubts. The email from Bai Lu was identical to the one sent by Bai Wei, her friend earlier. Since that was the case... the answer to what Bai Lu wanted to do with this design draft was already obvious. 

Shen Shuxin slightly curved her lips, with a hint of contempt in her expression. Bai Lu was really good at pleasing men just like her Mother. Bai Manqiu relied on giving advice to Bai Father to step on Bai Wei's Mother and take her place...Now, Bai Lu was also trying to please Shen Tingsheng to get ahead. However, how could she let Bai Lu plan Succeed?

Shen Shuxin pursed her lips and type, "I understand. I will give you the design draft within the time you mentioned."

Bai Lu breathed a sign of relief at home. "very well, you better not waste any time and give it to me quickly." 

Shen Shuxin chuckled and did not reply. Bai Lu had probably been used to getting her ways these past few years and was bossy towards everyone. If Shen Shuxin didn't teach her a lesson and let her know what humility was, then she wouldn't be Shen Shuxin. Shen Shuxin expressionlessly shook her head and continued to plan how to make a perfume that would satisfy the Sus.

Chapter Seven: A Black Card.

...

Pushing open the door, Shen Shuxin found Shen Yue waiting for her at the entrance. The little girl's face lit up mischievously as she said, "Mommy, you're back early today! Brother and I have already prepared the ingredients for dinner!"

Shen Yue looked like she was about to boast about her achievement.

Shen Zhiyan walked out of the living room slowly, his voice as cold as his father's. "It's just a small matter, there's nothing worth boasting about."

The little girl pouted when she heard her brother's words.

Shen Shuxin put her bag on the shelf, took off her high heels, and bent down to give Shen Yue a kiss on her cheek. A red lipstick mark was left on the little girl's smooth face. After few seconds, Shen Yue realized what had happened and said, "Mommy kissed me, hehe." Then she made a face at Shen Zhiyan.

"Mommy only kisses me, not you. Are you jealous?" She said, trying to provoke her brother.

Shen Zhiyan's cute little face remained expressionless, like a matured adult who had learned to control his emotions.

Shen Shuxin, who knew Shen Zhiyan well, knew that the little guy was throwing a tantrum. She pinched his cheeks and left a kiss on his face as well.

Shen Zhiyan's big dark eyes lifted slightly, and his cheeks turned slightly red. "I'm already six years old. I don't need Mommy's kisses as a reward anymore," he said.

Shen Shuxin couldn't help but laugh and feel annoyed at the same time. She wondered whose bad habit of speaking without thinking hard been inherited!

Thinking of that man, if he were to ask for a kiss like a baby, her heart would tighten and her whole body would tremble...

no,no,no, her mind was filled with that man.

"Okay, okay, okay, we're all grown up now! But today's reward isn't just mommy's kiss, we're also going out for a big meal! What do you want to eat tonight? Mommy promises to get it all for you!"

The two little one's eyes lit up like stars in the night sky when they heard Shen Shuxin was taking them out for a big meal.

Shen Shuxin puffed her cheeks and said in a milky voice, "Mommy, I want to eat Squid Ink Spaghetti.

Shen Shuxin chuckled, Okay, Yue wants to eat Squid ink Spaghetti, Mommy remembers. What about Zhiyan? What does he wants to eat?"

"Wellington Steak," Shen Zhiyan replied in a cool voice.

"Okay! Hurry up and change your clothes, and wipe off the lipstick mark left by mommy on your faces!"

On the way to the restaurant, the waiter stopped the mother and children. "I'm sorry, Miss, this restaurant is Michelin restaurants, and according to the rules, reservations are required."

Shen Shuxin slapped her forehead. She had forgotten about this.

"I'm sorry, please wait a moment." Shen Shuxin said, putting her bags on the nearby table and began to rummage through it.

Suddenly, Shen Zhiyan frowned and held his stomach, "Mommy, my stomach hurts, I want to go to the restroom."

Shen Shuxin smiled slightly, "Okay, Zhiyan, you and Yue go together, Mommy will find something here."

"Mhmm." Shen Zhiyan took Shen Yue's hand and they walked towards the restroom together.

"Shen Shuxin's mommy bag was too big, and she rummaged through it for a while before finding what she needed.

Finally finding the item, Shen Shuxin breathed a sign of relief and clutched it in her hand.

Before Shen Shuxin could hand the item to the Server, the server suddenly turned around with a pleasing smile on his face. "Mr. Xue, hello!"

The person was none other than Xue Mao, Shen Tingsheng's assistant. Xue Mao took a glance at Shen Shuxin and his eyes widened in surprise.

Isn't this the masked Assistant Shen? What is she doing here? 

After thinking for a moment, Xue Mao kindly greeted Shen Shuxin and reminded her, "Miss Shen, this restaurant requires reservation. Without one, there won't be any seats available."

Shen Shuxin smiled slightly, "Xue Assistant, I know that. Thanks for telling me." She said in a calm tone.

Xue Mao continued to be helpful and suggested, "Miss Shen, there's another restaurant nearby that's also quite good. If you don't have a reservation, you can try eating there.

Shen Shuxin smiled and said, "That won't be necessary."

Xue Mao was confused, thinking he hadn't explain clearly enough, "This restaurant requires reservation..."

Shen Shuxin turned to the waiter and said, "I already know about the situation the gentleman just mentioned. What I want to ask is whether there are any other situations where reservation aren't necessary?"

The waiter's eyes flashed with impatience, "Yes, but not everyone meets the requirements for not needing a reservation."

Shen Shuxin noticed the waiter's distain but didn't get angry, "Then tell me, what are the conditions for not needing a reservation?"

The waiter cleared his throat, and decided to shut down this arrogant woman with facts. "Ma'am,you need to have a net worth of at least Thirty Million yuan or be an A-list celebrity who can bring us publicity to be able to dine without a reservation."

Shen Shuxin smiled, "Your requirements are quite strict."

"After all, this is a Michelin- starred restaurant. Of course, there are certain standards that need to be met." The waiter was annoyed that Shen Shuxin was blocking him from serving Xue Mao, so his tone became less polite. "Otherwise, anyone could just walk in here."

Shen Shuxin wasn't at all angry. After what had happened with the Bai Family, there were few things that could stir her emotions. She smiled and asked the waiter, "Did you forget to mention one of the conditions?"

"What conditions did I forget to mention? I've been working here for a long time..." The waiter was about to instinctively refuse Shen Shuxin, but suddenly remembered something and sneered, "Now that you mention it, I did forget one condition."

Shen Shuxin raised her eyebrows, "What condition?"

The server cleared his throat arrogantly. "The condition is a black card!"

The black card was a symbol of identity. When the restaurant was established, the owner had distributed ten black cards and instructed all staff to provide the highest level of service to any black cardholders. In Shen City, only Shen Tingsheng, the heir of the Shen Group had one.

Chapter Eight: Is This The Black Card You Mentioned?

The black card was so precious that how could this seemingly useless women in front of him have one?

"The black card is even more demanding than being a celebrity. I don't think you have one," the server sneered. "Anyway, you'd better leave early to avoid..."

The server suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence. He stared at Shen Shuxin's hand, which was emerging from her bag and began to tremble.

Shen Shuxin met the server's gaze and smiled faintly. "Sorry, I have many cards. So it took me a little time to check if I have it with me. You see, is this the black card you mentioned?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shuxin put the black card under the server's eyes.

The server and Xue Mao looked at Shen Shuxin with complex expression and we're shocked.

Shen Shuxin smiled and asked kindly, "So, young man, do you want to call your boss to ask if this card is real or fake?"

The waiter smartly shook his head and didn't want to trouble Shen Shuxin anymore. "No, it's okay! Please follow this way."

As she spoke, the waiter led Shen Shuxin to her seat with a submissive attitude.

Shen Shuxin smiled lightly and didn't want to trouble the waiter anymore, so she sat down directly.

The restaurant had an elegant environment and was a comfortable place to be in.

After Shen Shuxin settled down in her seat, it wasn't long before Shen Zhiyan and Shen Yue walked in.

"Zhiyan, Yue, over here," Shen Shuxin smiled and waved at the two of them.

The two little cuties obediently came to Shen Shuxin's side and sat down. "Mommy!"

Looking at the two little ones, Shen Shuxin's heart softened. "Hmm, someone will give us menu later. You can choose whatever you want to eat."

The two little beans nodded, "okay!"

The waiter quickly brought the menu over, and this time he lowered his head and looked much more restrained than before. "Ma'am, two little ones, here is the menu!"

Shen Shuxin skillfully ordered, "Thank you, I'll have a Wellington Steak, a Chef's selected appetizer and dessert, and a Sherry for my drink."

The Wellington Steak was one of the highest quality dishes in the restaurant, but only a few people knew how good it really was.

The waiter became even more respectful towards Shen Shuxin and said, "Okay Ma'am, I understand."

Shen Shuxin nodded.

The waiter then smiled at the two little ones, "And what will you like to eat, little ones?"

Shen Zhiyan looked cool and said,"I want the Wellington Steak too."

Shen Yue eyes sparkled and her voice was sweet as she loudly declared, "I want Squid Ink Pasta..."

Her voice draw attention of many people.

Shen Shuxin shook her head. "Little treasure, lower your voice."

Shen Yue obediently shut her mouth, and ever made a cross sign over her lips.

At the entrance, Xue Mao was still in shock from when Shen Shuxin pulled out her black card early.

How did Assistant Shen get the black card?

When Shen Tingsheng and Shen Yun Xi arrived at the restaurant, they saw Xue Mao in daze.

Shen Tingsheng frowned and ask in a cold tone, "What are doing?"

"Ah..." Xue Mao quickly snapped out of it and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "President, you're here!"

"Where's our table?" Shen Tingsheng asked coldly.

Only then did Xue Mao remember that Shen Tingsheng had sent him ahead to the restaurant to get their table number.

Xue Mao became anxious. "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen! I got distracted and forgot about it."

Shen Tingsheng frowned and gave Xue Mao a cold look.

The man trembled slightly and didn't dare to look at him.

Shen Tingsheng was about to speak when Shen Yun Xi tugged on his sleeve.

The man looked down at the little boy. "What's wrong?"

"I'm hungry," the little guy rubbed his stomach and said seriously. "Daddy, can you not waste any more time?"

Shen Tingsheng's heart skipped a bit, but he didn't say anything anymore.

Upon hearing this, Xue Mao was moved to tears and felt like hugging Shen Yun Xi tightly to show his gratitude. "Thank you so much, Mr. Shen!" he exclaimed.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Yun Xi continued, "Dad, you can wait a bit before getting angry with your subordinates."

Xue Mao was left speechless.

Did he thank him too soon?

Shen Tingsheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

Just at the time the waiter came back, Xue Mao hurriedly wiped off his sweat, and helped Shen Tingsheng and Shen Yun Xi reserve seats.

The waiter respectfully said, "Two gentlemen, please follow me."

Xue Mao waved at them, "Mr. Shen, I'll wait outside! I'll take you back after you finish your meal."

Shen Yun Xi blinked his big eyes, "Uncle Xue Mao, won't you have dinner with us?"

Xue Mao laughed dryly, "No, no , no."

He hasn't lived enough, and wants to live few more years.

Eating with Shen Tingsheng, he didn't have this life, he would definitely lose his life.

Shen Yun Xi nodded, without saying a word, followed Shen Tingsheng into the restaurant.

Xue Mao breathed a sign of relief.

As soon as Shen Yun Xi entered the restaurant, his eyes lit up.

On the table next to it, sat Shen Shuxin and the two little ones.

The two little ones had their backs to Shen Yun Xi side, only their feet were dangling on the chairs, and he couldn't see their faces clearly.

But Shen Shuxin astonishing face was presented in front of Shen Yun Xi!

Like the aunt I saw at the airport that day, it seems...!

Chapter Nine: Everyone Loves Yue.

Shen Yun Xi felt that his little heart was throbbing.

He looked at Shen Shuxin eagerly, but found that he was about to be taken in another direction.

What to do? A few more steps over there, he can't see Shen Shuxin's side anymore!

Shen Yun Xi had an idea, and suddenly let out a small ouch.

The voice startled Shen Tingsheng, "What's going on?"

"It's okay, I'm just hungry." Shen Yun Xi lowered his head and said in a flat tone, "Daddy, you don't have to worry about me, we don't have to sit on this table, and I can bear if we continue to walk a few steps."

Shen Tingsheng, "..."

This little showman.

He was a little helpless, "Okay, just sit down on this table."

Shen Tingsheng eloquence speaks well, and almost no one in the whole Shen City will not listen to what he said.

The waiter nodded quickly, "Okay, Mr. Shen, this way please."

Seeing them seated, he immediately took the menu over, "Mr. Shen, What meal do you want?"

Shen Tingsheng pointed casually, "Beef Wellington, and black truffle."

Shen Yun Xi wasn't in mood to eat, "Just like my dad's."

"Okay, Okay." The waiter agreed, and hurried down to pass the dishes.

On the other side, Shen Shuxin frowned, she didn't know if it was just an illusion, she suddenly felt she heard a very annoying voice...

Before she had time to think carefully, Shen Yue suddenly asked sweetly, "Mommy, When can we go to the amusement park?"

Shen Shuxin looked at Shen Yue with a gentle smile, "Mommy will take Yue to play in the amusement park this weekend."

These words entered Shen Yun Xi's head and Shen Yun Xi turned his head, struggling to see who said those words.

Shen Tingsheng noticed Shen Yun Xi's movement, and said softly. "Pay attention to your manners when eating."

Shen Yun Xi glanced at Shen Tingsheng with some displeasure, and said in a muffled voice, "I just looked to the side."

Shen Tingsheng frowned, "What's there to see?"

"..." Shen Yun Xi didn't speak, because he didn't want to tell Daddy what he had discovered.

Base on the fact that Shen Tingsheng forced him to call Bai Lu his mother, he felt that he shouldn't tell Shen Tingsheng about this.

Absolutely not, absolutely!

Shen Yun Xi bite his fork and lowered his head to eat his truffle.

Shen Tingsheng raised his eyebrows, seeing Shen Yun Xi's silence and resistance, he didn't say much.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Tingsheng went outside to answer the phone.

And the two little cubs beside Shen Shuxin just finished eating at this time.

Shen Yue gave Shen Zhiyan a wink, and the two of them smiled meaningfully.

Shen Yue said Crisply, "Mommy, brother wants to go out to play."

"What?" Shen Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, "Is it not you..."

"It's just that brother wants to go out to play!" Shen Yue was very sure, "That's it."

Shen Shuxin was a little dumbfounded, there were too many similar scenes, she knew what was going on without watching. "Yue, it's actually you who want to go out to play right?"

"Not really!" Shen Yue snorted, her voice was coquettish, "Mommy, how can you doubt Yue..."

As she spoke, she tugged on Shen Zhiyan's sleeve.

Shen Zhiyan was also helpless, after all, who made him an elder brother.

So Shen Zhiyan was silent for a while and said, "Mom, that's right, I am indeed the one who wants to go out to play."

"You!" Shen Shuxin had no choice but to poke Shen Zhiyan's nose, "You can pamper her!"

Shen Zhiyan kept a cool expression on his face.

Shen Yue proudly raised her small face, "Zhiyan is Yue's older brother! if he doesn't love Yue, who else can he love?"

"Okay, everyone loves Yue," Shen Shuxin laughed and shook her head, "You can go out to play."

"Uh-huh!"

Shen Yue happily pulled Shen Zhiyan and ran out.

The two little ones wanted to go to play, but they did not pay any attention to Shen Yun Xi beside them.

Shen Yun Xi took this opportunity to look at them..., That's right, it was really the little boy he saw at the airport.

His heart tightened suddenly.

Shen Shuxin raised her head subconsciously and saw a face that was one hundred percent similar to Shen Zhiyan.

She signed, "Zhiyan, why are you back? Didn't you say you want to be with your sister?"

"..." 

Shen Yun Xi didn't speak, his little face was tangled up.

What should he say to the person in front of him that he is not Zhiyan but Shen Yun Xi.

Who is She?

Is she the mommy if those little guys?

"Zhiyan"

Shen Shuxin didn't hear Zhiyan's answer, she was a little puzzled and reached out to touch the forehead of Shen Yun Xi.

Shen Yun Xi's eyes widened!

The clean scent of the woman's body penetrated into his nostrils in an instant.

It is a kind of moist gas between the fragrance of milk and the fragrance of flowers, warm and reliable, giving people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.

The most important thing was that it smells very different from Bai Lu's perfume, so he can't put it down...

This is the mommy he wants!

"I..."

Shen Yun Xi stepped forward excitedly, wanting to hug her.

At this time, there were footsteps at the door. Shen Yun Xi turned around and saw that Shen Tingsheng had already walked over here after talking on the phone.

Chapter Ten: Is It You?

Shen Yun Xi's small face tightened, and he suddenly realized that he couldn't do this! His Father never allows him to interact with strangers! "I, I'll go first!" Shen Yun Xi panicked and left a sentence before turning around and ran away

Shen Shuxin?

She was a little confused and subconsciously picked up a pice of Wellington Steak, lowering her head to chew.

What's wrong with this child? Is he going through a rebellious phrase?

Shen Shuxin was pondering when a cold voice suddenly appeared in front of her, "Is it you?"

Huh?

This voice, isn't it the voice of the CEO of the Shen Group?

Shen Shuxin put down her fork and looked up, and sure enough, she saw Shen Tingsheng's exceptionally handsome but cold face.

He was staring at her coldly, while also looking in the direction where the little guy had just left with a scolding expression.

Shen Shuxin was a little confused.

She had no good feeling towards Shen Tingsheng, who spoke in a strange tone since the beginning. "Oh, who am I, Mr. Shen? Talking to me, this seductive woman, aren't you afraid of me seducing you?"

Shen Shuxin sneered, she had not forgotten how he called him a seductive woman. Did he think she like those ladies who want to climb on his bed? Hmph!

Shen Tingsheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze suddenly turning cold, "If you can't speak, I don't mind cutting off your tongue."

Shen Shuxin sneered disdainfully, if not for the fact that Shen Tingsheng was her boss, she'd have taught him what humility is, forgetting the fact that he's her babies' father.

Shen Tingsheng's gaze landed on her face and he sneered, "Miss Shen is not wearing a mask today."

"And what does it have to do with Mr. Shen?" She retorted angrily.

The atmosphere between them was tense, and the air was this with hostility.

A moment later, Xue Mao rushed in wiping his sweat, "President! Miss Bai said she couldn't reach you and called me saying it's urgent... um."

Seeing the confrontation between Mr. Shen and Assistant Shen, Xue Mao swallowed hard.

What's going on? Did he disturb Shen Tingsheng...um, are they fighting? Judging from the look of Mr. Shen, they are definitely going to fight!

Xue Mao's eyes were spinning, and he really wants to find a hole to hide in.

Shen Tingsheng turned his cold face towards Xue Mao and he trembled.

Shen Shuxin raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face and stepped aside, out of Shen Tingsheng's sight, "So, Miss Bai was trying to contact Mr. Shen, I won't disturb you anymore. Please..."

Why brother staying with such a group of unpleasant people when it's not work time? Her time is precious and she doesn't wants to waste it on them.

Shen Tingsheng saw Shen Shuxin's expression and inexplicably felt angry.

However, he didn't want to lose his temper here and lower his standards for no reason.

Just because of a woman...hmph!

Shen Tingsheng coldly glanced at Shen Shuxin, ordered his assistant, and turned around to leave. "You wait here. Shen Yun Xi will come back later, and you can take him away."

"Um, okay, CEO." Xue Mao was left behind and felt a little embarrassed.

He looked at Shen Shuxin for a while, scratched his head, and spoke recklessly, "Assistant Shen, are you coming to the company tomorrow?"

This guy really doesn't know how to talk. Shen Shuxin's mouth twitched, and decided to ignore Xue Mao's words to avoid getting angry.

Xue Mao also decided to keep quiet for the time being. He cleverly distanced himself from Shen Shuxin, found a place where she couldn't see him, and squatted down to wait for Shen Yun Xi.

Shen Yun Xi soon returned.

Xue Mao's even lit up as he grabbed Shen Yun Xi's hand, "Oh, my little ancestor, you've finally come back."

If Shen Yun Xi didn't come back, Xue Mao might lose his life.

Shen Yun Xi was puzzled, "Uncle Xue, you?"

"Let's go, let's go," Xue Mao didn't wait for an explanation and pulled Shen Yun Xi along, "The CEO said we should leave."

"We're leaving now, but..." Shen Yun Xi was reluctant. He hadn't even had a chance to talk to his expected mommy yet.

"let's go, let's go,"

Xue Mao pulled Shen Yun Xi downstairs and paid the bill before leaving.

Although Shen Yun Xi was reluctant, he had no choice than to follow Xue Mao.

As they walked downstairs, Shen Yun Xi's face immediately dropped.

"Little ancestor, do you really like that restaurant so much?" Xue Mao was puzzled. Shen Yun Xi had seen more of the world than most kids of his age, so why he so obsessed with this restaurant?

Shen Yun Xi didn't say anything.

Xue Mao thought for a moment and patted his chest, "Don't worry, next time, I'll secretly bring you here without the CEO knowing. We can continue to eat here! How about that?"

Shen Yun Xi shook his head, he was not really interested in the food at the restaurant.

But... Secretly?

Shen Yun Xi's eyes lit up..

Meanwhile, upstairs.

Shen Shuxin ate her meal quickly, and the little cubs only come after she finished eating.

Shen Shuxin glared at them, "Zhiyan, why didn't you bring your sister with you just now? You came back alone?"

"Huh!" She Zhiyan was confused and a little dazed.

"You, what's wrong with you?" Shen Shuxin shook her head helplessly, picked up Shen Zhiyan, and lightly tapped his nose. "As an older brother, you must never leave your sister alone in the future, understand?"

Shen Zhiyan was a little puzzled. He had always protected Shen Yue well and had never left her side.

He didn't know what his mother was talking about.

But Shen Yue smiled and said, "Mommy, don't worry, even if Zhiyan leave, he must have left only when I went to the bathroom!" 

After all, Shen Yue only didn't see Shen Zhiyan when she closed the bathroom's door, so she naturally thought it was because of this.

Shen Shuxin smiled and believed her, "Darling, you're the older brother, even if something like this happens, it must not happen again next time, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy."

Shen Yue nodded, her voice sweet and clear.

Shen Zhiyan also nodded, but he felt a bit suspicious in his heart.

Could it be Mommy was talking about someone else, someone who look extremely similar to him! But how could they be someone in the world who looks so much like him that even his Mom can't tell them apart!

Could it be his brother his Mom has been looking for? Shen Zhiyan didn't mention it, but he secretly took this matter to heart.

Chapter Eleven: He refused.

As night fell, Shen Tingsheng left the Shen Group alone and drove one of his beloved black Maybachs towards his villa.

Bai Lu had called him countless times urging him to come home.

Now he put himself in his fiance's shoe and took care of everything.

A hint of disgust flashed across Shen Tingsheng's handsome face. He turned off his phone and casually threw it on the passenger seat next to him.

When he arrived at the Villa, Shen Tingsheng took off his suit and handed it to the butler before heading towards outside to the tree shade. The hesitant voice of the butler rang out.

"Young Master, Miss Bai has been waiting for you at home all day and even prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. If you come back so late, why not go to Miss Bai's room..." The butler's word was interrupted by Shen Tingsheng's icy tone.

Glancing at the butler, his cold gaze pierced through him. "Since when do you dare to interfere in my affair?"

The butler quickly lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Young Master. I spoke out of turn."

By the time the butler raised his head again, Shen Tingsheng had already left and headed towards the tree shade.

The maid who witnessed everything secretly told Bai Lu about the scene. In Bai Lu's gentle eyes, a hint of coldness flickered. It was the same today! Shen Tingsheng still couldn't see her effort! Why?

Bai Lu bit her lip hard, her long nails painted with flesh-colored nail polish sinking deep in her palms.

Bai Lu adjusted her mood and took out a diamond ring from her jewelry box, handling it to the maid, "As usual."

The maid happily took the ring and put it in her pocket. "Miss Bai, don't worry. I will report everything I know about the Young Master's situation to you!"

Bai Lu softly nodded and returned to being the gentle and elegant young lady of the Bai Family. She put on a shawl from her closet and went downstairs.

She had called Shen Tingsheng about Yun Xi matter.

Shen Yun Xi sat under the shade of the tree, flipping through a book on 'Mastery of Programming Language' expressionlessly. When he heard the laughter from the next door, he was moved and put down the book at the movement next door.

The laughter from next door was so sweet. It sounded like the voices of two children and an adult woman. Was it the mother of the two children playing with them? That's great. This mother must not be like Bai Lu...

Shen Yun Xi couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman he saw in the restaurant a few days ago. He became more and more restless in his heart.

If he also had a mother, if that woman was his mother, he would definitely be very happy.

Shen Tingsheng walked over and saw Shen Yun Xi's expectant and sad expression at a glance. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yun Xi subconsciously answered, "Thinking about Mommy."

The man paused for a moment, then quickly understood and took out his phone, "I'll call her over," he said.

Shen Yun Xi frowned at the man's words showing the same disgust as Shen Tingsheng. "no need," he said stubbornly.

"Why not?" Shen Tingsheng narrowed his eyes.

"I don't like her, she's not my mommy," Shen Yun Xi said firmly.

Shen Tingsheng felt a headache coming up. He didn't know what was wrong with the child lately, always so stubborn.

"If she's not your mommy, then who is?" Shen Tingsheng asked.

"I don't know!" Shen Yun Xi clenched his small fists and declared, "But one day, I will find my mommy."

Although Shen Tingsheng was cold and domineering, and always had his ways, he couldn't do anything about his son's stubbornness. He fell silent for a moment, thinking that his mood had become isolated again, and change the subject, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to Kindergarten."

The Little boy immediately resisted, "I don't want to go to Kindergarten."

"If you don't go to Kindergarten, I'll have your mommy come and take care of you," Shen Tingsheng said expressionlessly.

Shen Yun Xi's mouth moved, "...Okay, I'll go to Kindergarten."

Shen Tingsheng lowered his head and rubbed Shen Yun Xi's small head, "It's cold here, go inside."

With that, Shen Tingsheng turned and left, heading straight for the living room where Bai Lu was sitting on Sofa.

Seeing Shen Tingsheng arrived, Bai Lu quickly stood up, "Tingsheng, what did Yun Xi say?"

Shen Tingsheng looked at Bai Lu indifferently, his eyes slightly lowered, "He refused," he said.

Bai Lu's smile became stiff, and she cursed Shen Yun Xi a thousand times in her head.

That annoying kid is really difficult to deal with! She has been trying to please him since he was a child, and theoretically, even a stone heart should have melted by now. However, that kid, Shen Yun Xi, has always been resistant to her...even though she was his nominal mother! She is really a difficult burden to bead!

Bai Lu put on a sad expression and said, "Why doesn't Yun Xi like me? Is it because I haven't done enough? Tingsheng, please tell me."

Bai Lu thought that Shen Tingsheng would comfort her a few words. But Shen Tingsheng just responded with a faint "Maybe."

Bai Lu was confused. Why was the situation not what she expected?

She gritted her teeth and decided to continue with a more aggressive approach, "Shen Tingsheng, am I worthy in front of Yun Xi?"

Shen Tingsheng's voice was slightly cold, "I don't know."

Bai Lu continued to be dramatic, "But Tingsheng, Yun Xi treats me like this, and I feel so sad..."

Shen Yun Xi frowned slightly, "If you are really that sad, then go and make more effort with Shen Yun Xi."

Bai Lu was completely silenced.

After a moment of silence, Bai Lu forced a smile and changed the subject, "Tingsheng, speaking of which, the Ruan family is going to hold a banquet soon."

The Ruan family isva wealthy and respected family in Shen City.

About ten years ago, the Ruan family was even on par with the Shen Family in terms of status. Although the She Family has gradually pulled ahead since Shen Tingsheng took over, it is undeniable that the Ruan family is still worth befriending.

Shen Tingsheng paused for a moment, "I will go," he said.

"Good," Bai Lu was secretly pleased and clung towards Shen Tingsheng tenderly, "Tingsheng, can I come with you?"

Shen Tingsheng hesitated for a moment, "it depends on the Ruan family's decision," he said.

Bai Lu's face stiffened. She had thought Shen Tingsheng would agree to take her with him.

Shen Tingsheng said indifferently, "The old lady of the Ruan family is old. In recent years, she had only invited relatives to her birthday banquet and not outsiders, you may not be able to get in."

With that, Shen Tingsheng turned around and left for the study.
