Chapter 92 Ribs

Liang Zhan had glanced into the leader's office countless times; with his keen observation skills honed over years of work, he was more than capable of detecting that something was amiss.

Through his observations, he summarized the boss's unusual behavior as follows: Usually, he was the one picking people up from the boss's house, but this morning when he called the boss, the boss's voice sounded like he hadn't even gotten out of bed yet! What kind of person is his boss? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he gets up earlier than the rooster and goes to bed later than the dog. Also, his smile was so cheap and unremarkable!

Conclusion!

Something good is going to happen to your boss! It's most likely something to do with men and women, don't ask him how he knows!

He looked just like this when he won over his wife! Except he wasn't as handsome as the boss, and his smile was a little lewd.

Yesterday, Shi Shi drank alcohol and left his car at a barbecue restaurant. When he went to retrieve the car early this morning and returned home, he felt a little guilty seeing Aunt Zhang busy with chores.

Aunt Zhang acted perfectly normally, as if she didn't know Shi Shi hadn't come home all night.

Instead, she tiptoed around like a thief who had done something wrong.

She lay in the jacuzzi, too exhausted to rub herself. She persevered, applying the essential oils all over her body, feeling every pore open. The bathroom was filled with the scent of rose bath salts, making her drowsy.

The phone rang, interrupting Shi Shi's drowsiness. It was Fu Yingzhou calling, of course. "Little sleepyhead, still sleeping?" Fu Yingzhou's voice came through the phone with a smile.

"No, I'm home!"

Hearing the sound of water coming from the phone, Fu Yingzhou's throat tightened. "Are you taking a shower?"

Shi Shi snorted, "Taking a bath! It's all because of you that I'm so exhausted now."

Fu Yingzhou chuckled, "My bad, my bad. You can soak slowly, I'll wait for you."

Shi Shi, feeling weak all over from soaking in the tub, leaned against the edge and chatted casually with Fu Yingzhou. "You went too far last night. Don't do that again."

“The hostile forces are too arrogant, so I have no choice but to go all out,” Fu Yingzhou said, feigning seriousness.

Shi Shi pouted, "Anyway, there won't be a next time!"

Fu Yingzhou said helplessly but indulgently, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you from now on."

The two chatted back and forth on the phone, sometimes teasing each other, sometimes exchanging sweet nothings. Shi Shi felt the soreness in her body dissipate in this sweet atmosphere.

Suddenly, Shi Shi heard Aunt Zhang calling her from outside.

"The clothes you ordered have arrived! I've asked them to wait for you in the lobby on the first floor."

Shi Shi called out, "I know." Then she quickly said to Fu Yingzhou, "I'll talk to you later, Aunt Zhang is calling me."

Fu Yingzhou smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk again when you're done with your work."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Shi walked out of the bathroom with a big smile on her face.

She blow-dried her hair until it was about 70% dry and applied some hair oil. Shishi took the elevator down to the first floor. Now she tries to avoid walking as much as possible. She can't help it; every step makes her thighs ache.

With copyrights in hand and songs consistently selling, Shi Shi now has a stable income and is thinking of buying some things for her family.

The service at luxury brands is unimaginably attentive. Their coldness and disdain are simply because you don't have enough money in your pocket.

Because luxury brands don't want to cheat poor people.

Today, the assistant store manager of a certain Ma's store came. She not only came by herself, but also brought four fitting models.

"Miss Shi, may we begin?"

Seeing Shishi nod, she had the models showcase the clothing while she picked up her tablet and introduced the designer's concept, the fabric, and the accessories such as jewelry and bags that came with the outfits.

Shi Shi was impressed by the attentive service, unaware that the assistant manager was equally astonished! Shi Shi was practically a celebrity, the kind you could find on Baidu Baike (a Chinese encyclopedia). She never expected the other person to be such a high-class, wealthy, and beautiful woman! She had actually landed a big fish so easily!

Last week, when Shishi went to the store, she saw that there were quite a lot of items, so she offered to have them delivered to her home. Shishi also left her home address. She already knew that this area was full of luxury homes, but she didn't expect them to be this luxurious! Having worked in the luxury goods industry for quite some time, she had met many wealthy people. But seeing their living environment in person still made her sigh with admiration.

There are so many rich people! We just don't need her!

Shi Shi picked out quite a few pieces, but none of them were for herself. Her aunt and Shen He each got a lot, Xinran and Aunt He Hui each got a lot, and her mother got a lot. Even her three roommates each got some small pieces of jewelry.

Well, my aunt's husband and Shi's dad got their "goods." They received ties, plates, belts, coffee cups, and several pens.

Shi Shi glanced at the gramophone next to her and tapped her chin: "Do you have any more understated ones, or ones that can be customized?"

She'd received several gifts from Fu Yingzhou already. Even in a relationship, there should be some reciprocity. At least let him feel that her feelings were being reciprocated. Otherwise, one-sided love will only bounce back and hurt her heart.

"Who is it intended for? Would you mind telling me? That way I can make a better recommendation."

"It's a gift for my boyfriend. He works in the public sector, so it's not convenient for him to be too high-profile."

She recommended several, but Shi Shi wasn't very satisfied with any of them.

This really put the assistant store manager in a difficult position, as his store rarely has anything understated! After all, the prices are what they are.

Shi Shi was a little tired and waved her hand: "Never mind, I won't pick and choose what's for him for now."

After seeing the salesperson off, Shi Shi told Aunt Zhang that she wouldn't be eating dinner and went back to her bedroom to sleep.

When she woke up again, it was already past 8 p.m. She had slept for almost half a day!

She finished the water in the bedroom and took the cup to the outer room to refill it. There was someone vaguely sitting on the sofa; although only the warm yellow spotlight was on, Shi Shi spotted him immediately. After all, they had been intimate the night before.

"How long have you been here? Why didn't you wake me up?" Shishi had just woken up, and her voice was a little hoarse. Fu Yingzhou looked at the water glass in her hand, took it, and poured her a glass of warm water.

The warm water warmed Shi Shi's hands and also warmed Fu Yingzhou's heart.

At first, he was attracted to Shi Shi's appearance and voice. There was nothing shameful about admitting that. But the more time he spent with her, the more he realized that she was different from the impression others had of her.

The love only grows deeper.

He loved her passionate and outspoken nature, admired the ambition hidden beneath her calm exterior, and respected her decisiveness in letting go of what she couldn't control. He was also captivated by her sometimes tender heart.

Shi Shi seems to have filled a missing part of his life.

Fu Yingzhou recalled a story he had once heard: God first created man, and then took a rib from man. From that rib, God created a woman. God brought the woman to man, and man immediately realized the connection between this woman and his life. Filled with joy and satisfaction, he exclaimed, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh!"

Shi Shi seemed to be his missing rib. The two weren't as intimate as they had been the night before, but they were even more closely connected.
