The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

Tang Qiaoer slowly tightened her hands on the rockery, and all her attention shifted from Shen Jingjue to Mu Xueruo.

At this moment, Mu Xueruo took the tie clip from the box and clipped it on Shen Jingjue's tie while he was not paying attention.

The man was stunned and took a step back, but she was so fast that the tie clip was already on him.

"Second Young Master, it suits you very well."

Mu Xuerou's eyes were as charming as silk, and her voice was soft and sweet. If it were any other man, he would have easily captured her. "It seems that my vision is not bad."

Shen Jingjue's eyes darkened visibly.

It was only out of politeness, and because the woman was after all someone close to her eldest brother, that he did not do anything that would embarrass her too much.

Tang Qiaoer watched the two interacting, and her clear eyes seemed to be filled with desolate snow and wind, sad and broken.

But she still forced herself to regain her sanity.

Just as she took out her cell phone and wanted to record Mu Xueruo's every move, the picture in front of her disappeared and suddenly went dark.

A slender, slightly cool hand gently blocked her sight.

Then, Shen Jingzhe's magnetic, deep voice entered her ears, overflowing with tenderness:

"Stop looking."

Tang Qiaoer's heart tightened and she turned around hurriedly, staring at Shen Jingzhe's handsome face with her pupils narrowed.

At the moment when her back was about to lean against the rockery, the man put his long arms around her body, his palms supporting the rock and the back of his hands against her shoulders to prevent her from being hurt by the hard stone.

Careful, experienced, and considerate.

No matter how you look at it, he is a perfect man.

But it made Tang Qiaoer feel cold all over!

"Have you been standing here for a long time? Your face is red from the cold."

Shen Jingzhe looked deeply at her, opened the chest of his coat, covered Tang Qiao'er's thin body, and helped her resist the cold. "Go back, don't freeze yourself."

Tang Qiaoer's back was stiff, and she avoided his deep gaze, "I'm not cold."

She certainly didn't feel cold.

Because her heart was almost cold.

Shen Jingzhe's voice sank, and he leaned forward slightly, "You are sad."

Tang Qiaoer said stubbornly, but her eyes were red, "No."

"I am gifted. No one's thoughts can escape my eyes."

Shen Jingzhe gently curled his lips, "But, the premise is that this is someone I really care about."

"Master Shen, if it is true as you said that I am the one you truly care about, then you shouldn't make me feel troubled. After all, I don't want to be a bitch who screws her younger brother and then her older brother." Tang Qiaoer met the man's dark eyes and raised her red lips in self-mockery.

Shen Jingzhe had never seen such a smile before. It was like a red rose with thorns, or like a trumpet creeper standing proudly on a branch, unafraid of wind and rain.

"Don't listen to them. They are just jealous of you." He said in a low voice with a hint of hoarseness.

Tang Qiaoer smiled brightly again, "Are you jealous that I can play with my older brother after playing with my younger brother? And bring disaster to all the men in the Shen family?"

"Are you afraid of me?" Shen Jingzhe suddenly changed the subject.

Tang Qiao'er's heart was beating wildly, but her expression was calm. "You and I have no grudges against each other, why should I be afraid of you?"

"As long as you are not afraid of me, that's good."

Shen Jingzhe let out a long sigh as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He then took off his coat and put it on Tang Qiaoer's shoulders, wrapping her slender body tightly.

Tang Qiaoer's pupils widened, and she wanted to take off her clothes, but he held her collar, which became a shackle and restraint.

"Ms. Tang, I don't have a good body, I don't have power in the Shen family, I don't have a business mind, and I'm not liked by grandpa. I admit that I am not aware of everything.

But, you can trust me on one thing. No matter what happens, I will never make you sad. "

His eyes were as warm, thick and deep as emerald green.

But Tang Qiaoer felt that it was an abyss of sin from which there would be no redemption if one made a mistake...

……

Shen Jingzhe's public appearance with Tang Qiaoer at the Shen family banquet sparked endless speculation from the outside world and even became a hot topic on Weibo.

Rumors that the Shen couple had broken up were becoming more and more intense.

Shen Jing felt depressed and left the banquet early without waiting for it to end.

After getting in the car, the man ripped off the tie clip Mu Xueruo gave him with a look of disgust and threw it to Han Xian who was driving:

"Give it to you."

Han Xian was puzzled and took it, "Boss Shen, what is this?"

Shen Jingjue closed his eyes and took a rest. He clasped the Windsor knot with his fingers and pulled it down, but he still felt suffocated:

"Mu Xuerou gave it to me."

"Ah! I don't want any dirty stuff given by a wild woman!"

Han Xian looked disgusted and threw it away directly, "I already have a partner, I'm afraid my girlfriend will misunderstand me."

"girlfriend?"

"It's Xiaoyan, Mr. Shen."

Shen Jingjue closed his eyes and frowned, "She, is an adult?"

Han Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "We are all college students, Mr. Shen, am I such a beast in your eyes?"

Shen Jingjue suddenly remembered that he and Tang Qiaoer had rescued a girl named Mei Xiaoyan, and scenes flashed through his mind.

At this time, Han Xian's voice sounded in surprise:

"Boss Shen, look!"

Shen Jingjue opened his eyes lazily, and his heart trembled instantly——

Tang Qiaoer was seen standing alone in front of the car. In the thick white light, snowflakes were flying around her, ruffling her long black hair.

It also seemed as if it would blow her away.

Shen Jingjue's chest heaved. He opened the door, got out of the car, and walked towards her step by step.

"Mr. Shen." Tang Qiaoer smiled at him faintly.

Shen Jingjue noticed that her cheeks were red from the cold, which showed that she had been wandering outside for a long time. Her thin lips were slightly open, and there was a slight bitter taste at the bottom of her tongue, but she could not utter a single word.

He remembered that she was quite afraid of the cold.

Whenever the weather got cold, she would snuggle into his arms, using his hands as a warmer, no matter day or night.

"Mr. Shen, can I have a word with you for a moment?" Tang Qiaoer didn't expect to get any concern from him, but she didn't mind and just asked him softly.

Shen Jingjue pursed his lips and said, "Let's talk in my car."

"Well, thank you for your help." She was very polite, yet a little distant.

That feeling of knowing when to stop and being sensible, but it made him feel uncomfortable.

Han Xian tactfully got out of the car and waited for his former lover, giving him some space to be alone.

"Tomorrow is your birthday." Tang Qiaoer spoke first to break the awkwardness.

"Yeah." Shen Jingjue glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, his throat rolling secretly.

He was about to say "I don't need a gift" when Tang Qiaoer said something that surprised him:

"You promised me, remember?"

Shen Jingjue was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Of course."

"It's time to fulfill your promise."

Tang Qiaoer clenched her frozen hands and stared at him with a fiery look. "I want to ask you to go hiking tomorrow afternoon at three."

Shen was surprised and narrowed his eyes. "Climbing a mountain? Where?"

"Qile Mountain. Do you remember that place?"

Tang Qiaoer chuckled with a hint of sob in her voice, "Many, many years ago, you saved a girl there, and rescued her from a violent storm. That was the beginning of your fate."

Shen felt his heart skip a beat and clenched his hands on his knees.

He didn't lose his memory, of course he remembered.

"One thing I want you to promise me is to go hiking with me tomorrow."

"that is it?"

"Tsk, what else do you think I want you to do? Promise me your body?"

Tang Qiaoer crossed her arms and raised her chin in a haughty manner. It seemed that her former noble lady had returned. "Don't be long-winded. I just want to ask you, do you agree?"

"Agree." Shen Jingjue said without hesitation.

"Okay, hook up."

Without waiting for the man to react, Tang Qiaoer had already grabbed his warm big hand, stretched out the necrotic little finger of her left hand, and hooked his little finger with difficulty and clumsiness.

In an instant, Shen Jingjue's pupils shrank, and he felt her little finger trembling slightly, and a current quickly passed through his heart.
