Chapter 390 Tender and Lingering

Fu Siyan opened the lunch boxes one by one, and was about to call Shen Qingshu to eat when he saw that Shen Qingshu was looking down at her phone and typing.

He paused, then got up and walked behind her.

He lowered his eyes and glanced around.

I didn't look at it intentionally, but I still spotted the three characters 'Nan Ziyi' on the WeChat chat page at a glance.

The man's gaze darkened.

He was bothered by it, but he knew it was because of work, so he could only silently swallow his bitterness.

"Ah Shu, let's eat first."

A man's voice sounded from above. Shen Qingshu nodded, typed the last few words, casually placed her phone on the desk, and stood up.

She didn't lock her screen, seemingly unconcerned that Fu Siyan would see her chat page.

Fu Siyan was pleased by her action and put his arm around her waist.

Before Shen Qingshu could react, he had already led her to sit on the desk.

The man held her slender waist with one hand, supported himself on the table with the other, and leaned down to kiss her.

Shen Qingshu's eyelashes trembled.

The man closed his eyes and kissed her tenderly and passionately.

Shen Qingshu felt a slight numbness in her lips, as if currents of electricity were flowing through them.

Her senses took over, and she slowly closed her eyes.

When the kiss ended, their foreheads touched, and their breaths were a little unsteady.

Fu Siyan opened his eyes, his deep gaze reflecting the woman's shifting gaze.

At this moment, Fu Siyan felt that she loved him again.

“Ah Shu…”

The man's voice was hoarse, his Adam's apple bobbing as he couldn't suppress the surging emotions within him. He gripped the back of the woman's head with his large hand and fiercely kissed her lips again.

This time he no longer held back; his attack was fierce and forceful, leaving Shen Qingshu feeling breathless and dizzy...

Fu Siyan only let her go after the woman let out a protesting whimper.

He had eaten all of the woman's lipstick, leaving her lips slightly swollen, which made her look even more alluring.

Fu Siyan gently stroked her lips with the pad of his thumb. "A-Shu, why did you lock the door last night?"

Chen Qingshu was taken aback.

"You came to see me?"

“Hmm,” Fu Siyan’s voice was low and hoarse, “I’ve been thinking about it all night but I still can’t figure it out.”

Shen Qingshu blinked. "Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"

Fu Siyan was slightly taken aback.

"It really wasn't intentional." Shen Qingshu smiled helplessly, gently wiping away the lipstick stains on his lips with her slender fingertips, and explained easily: "The two kids have too much energy. I was exhausted after spending two days with them. Last night, I went back to my room, took a shower, and fell asleep without even putting on any skincare products. As for locking the door, I really don't remember."

Fu Siyan was pleased that she was willing to explain.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Fu Siyan believed it!

"Then could you please not lock the door tonight?" Fu Siyan kissed the corner of her mouth.

Shen Qingshu smiled slightly, "Okay."

Fu Siyan had never thought of himself as someone who was so easily coaxed.

Her simple "okay" instantly dispelled all his grievances, lifted his spirits, and he lowered his head to kiss her passionately again.

Shen Qingshu's breathing quickened from his kisses, and her fingers crumpled the front of his shirt.

Finally, Shen Qingshu pushed him away, slightly out of breath, and reminded him, "The food is getting cold."

Fu Siyan pursed his lips and took a deep breath to suppress the burning sensation in his heart.

...

It was already one o'clock after lunch.

Shen Qingshu's office has a lounge, and she has recently developed the habit of taking a lunch break.

Considering that she would be busy in the afternoon, Shen Qingshu asked Fu Siyan if he wanted to go back first.

"I have nothing else to do today, so I'll stay here with you."

"I'm going to take a nap now."

"I'll stay with you."

Shen Qingshu looked at him, her gaze scrutinizing him. "Are you sure?"

Fu Siyan smiled helplessly, "Ah Shu, I know you work hard and need to take a lunch break, I won't bother you."

Shen Qingshu believed him.

The two lay down on the bed in the lounge.

Fu Siyan hugged her from behind, but did not do anything else excessive.

Aside from feeling a little warm while being held like this, Shen Qingshu didn't feel anything was wrong.

After her serious illness, her body is still in the recovery phase.

If I'm even slightly busy, I easily feel tired.

I hadn't been lying down for long when sleepiness came over me, and I fell asleep quickly.

Fu Siyan wasn't sleepy, but he stayed in one position throughout his lunch break so that Shen Qingshu could get a good rest.

At two o'clock, my phone alarm went off.

Shen Qingshu woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she found that Fu Siyan was staring at her with his eyes open.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you asleep?"

"I'm not sleepy." Fu Siyan hadn't slept all night and was actually exhausted, but holding Shen Qingshu, he couldn't calm down and was wide awake.

"I have a meeting at 2:30, I have to get up."

Fu Siyan let her go.

Shen Qingshu got up and went into the bathroom to wash her face.

A set of cosmetics was also placed in the bathroom.

After washing her face and applying light makeup, Shen Qingshu regained her energy.

Fu Siyan leaned against the door frame, watching her.

Shen Qingshu exudes a cool and aloof aura in the workplace.

Time has allowed her to mature and grow, but the mature Shen Qingshu also seems to have gained a sense of detachment.

It's as if a barrier has been erected in her heart; if she wanted to, she could shut anyone out.

Fu Siyan felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but ask her, "A-Shu, do you like things as they are now?"

Shen Qingshu was applying lipstick when she heard his words. She turned to look at him and asked, "You mean?"

"Work."

“I’m quite satisfied with my work,” Shen Qingshu said. “I also enjoyed running my own studio before, but Huanxing has given me a different life experience. Cultural relic restoration is about chasing the past and restoring the footprints of history, which has made me develop a habit of cherishing the past. But at Huanxing, I have learned to innovate. Whether it’s the birth of a film or the incubation of a star, for me, every successful project is a new achievement, and I enjoy this feeling.”

Hearing her words, Fu Siyan felt even more certain that his decision back then was the right one.

He smiled, his voice gentle and deep: "As long as you're happy."

After applying her lipstick, Shen Qingshu walked over and reached out to help Fu Siyan straighten his collar.

Suddenly, she looked up at Fu Siyan and asked, "And you? Do you like things as they are now?"

Fu Siyan looked at her intently, "I like it."

"What I mean is, you don't have your own company right now. Although you're still the vice president of Ronghao Group, you're still working for someone else. Haven't you ever thought about starting your own business?"

Fu Siyan paused.

Shen Qingshu stared at him, waiting for his answer.

After a moment, Fu Siyan said, "Although Shao Qing is currently in charge of the law firm, I still have shares."

Shen Qingshu remained calm. "So you mean, now you only own shares in the law firm?"

Fu Siyan hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes."

Shen Qingshu responded lightly, "I understand."

She didn't continue the topic, saying, "I have to go to a meeting."

Fu Siyan sensed that the atmosphere had suddenly become a bit off.

He reached out and grabbed Shen Qingshu, who was walking out. "A-Shu, did I say something wrong?"

“No.” Shen Qingshu turned to look at him. “Fu Siyan, I know your abilities very well. There’s no way I would look down on you just because you haven’t started your own business. Also, the funds you transferred to my name before are enough for you to start several more Fu Groups. If you’re willing, I can transfer them back to you at any time.”

"We've made up now, so isn't it the same whether it's under your name or mine?" Fu Siyan lowered his voice as he said this: "Or do you think that someone as idle as me is no longer good enough for you?"

Shen Qingshu laughed lightly, "Do you think I'm that kind of materialistic and vain woman?"

"No... don't misunderstand, I just..."

“Fu Siyan, although we are now in a romantic relationship, we are also independent individuals. We can have our own secrets, so whatever decision you make, I will respect you.”

Fu Siyan frowned.

I feel like there's more to what he said than met the eye...

"I'm going to a meeting." Shen Qingshu brushed his hand away, turned around and walked out of the lounge.

Fu Siyan stared at her back.

Could it be that Ashu has discovered something?
