Twenty minutes later, Xie Rongzhuo came out with wet hair. His simple black cotton pajamas looked particularly nice against his frame.
He walked out of the bedroom and went straight to the sofa in the living room, bent down and lowered his head.
The water drops hanging on the tip of his nose fell on Shen Mi's cheek. Her eyelashes trembled and she had to open her eyes. Xie Rongzhuo's face enlarged in front of her.
The tails of his eyes were slightly upturned, and his pupils were dark in color, which was very bewitching. Shen Mi's gaze passed over his high nose and stared at his lips.
Xie Rongzhuo's lips are of moderate thickness, full in shape, and have fleshy lip beads. They are the kind of sexy lips that can make people have wild thoughts at first sight.
And she had touched these two thin lips.
Xie Rongzhuo's lips are fragrant and soft.
Shen Mi didn't know why the first word that popped up in her mind was "fragrant". She just felt that Xie Rongzhuo smelled fragrant all over.
A few seconds of staring at each other.
"Go to bed." Xie Rongzhuo said.
Shen Mi was tired after a whole day and was originally very sleepy, but he was shocked by Xie Rongzhuo's figure... No, the word should be used to describe it as stunning.
She was so stunned that she lost her sleepiness and lay down to pretend to be asleep to avoid suspicion of peeping at him taking a bath.
The more guilty one feels, the more one likes to cover up the facts.
Afraid that Xie Rongzhuo would notice her ill intentions, Shen Mi avoided his gaze: "It's okay, you're too big to sleep here."
I accidentally told the truth.
Xie Rongzhuo was stunned and tapped her forehead with his finger.
"Turn your head."
Shen Mi turned around and looked at him obediently: "What are you doing?"
Xie Rongzhuo: "Where am I big?"
Shen Mi: "Everywhere is big."
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and said, "I didn't see it!"
She spoke so fast that her credibility dropped to zero in an instant.
Shen Mi grabbed the quilt with both hands, moved his lips, and wanted to make a few more excuses, but Xie Rongzhuo raised his eyebrows, said "Oh", and slowly straightened up.
Shen Mi: “…”
what does he mean
Xie Rongzhuo was wearing a shallow-necked top, the black color made his skin look even cooler and whiter. With the light shining down on him, one could see the water droplets on his collarbone that had not been wiped clean. Combined with his enchanting face, he looked indescribably charming.
"I don't see why you are so nervous?"
He lowered his eyes, as if waiting for her to give a clear answer, and if there was any doubt about the answer, he would let her take responsibility.
Shen Mi was not afraid of being responsible for him, she just didn't want Xie Rongzhuo to discover her impure side.
"Really? I'm not nervous."
She blinked innocently: "I am very relaxed. I fell asleep just now."
"Fell asleep in ten minutes?"
"I usually fall asleep in seconds."
Xie Rongzhuo chuckled: "Oh."
"Okay." Shen Mi gave up trying to fool around and confessed: "I saw a little."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Which point?"
Shen Mi: "...Xie Rongzhuo, you are so annoying!"
Because she was lying down, her voice was low and lazy, with a cute little nasal tone.
Xie Rongzhuo was amused by her angry look. He lifted the quilt, grabbed her wrist and pulled her up from the sofa.
"Be obedient and go to bed."
Shen Mi couldn't stand his tone the most. Her legs went weak when Xie Rongzhuo tried to coax her.
She sat up and raised her hand to wipe the water off her cheek: "Okay."
He knelt down and put on his slippers, then quickly rolled up the quilt and hugged it.
"The bigger bed in the bedroom is for you, and I'll cover this one."
"My body isn't that big yet."
Xie Rongzhuo grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back, snatched the quilt from her arms and threw it on the sofa: "That's enough."
His body was already ridiculously large, and she saw it with her own eyes, so how could it be fake
"Okay." Shen Mi didn't dare to discuss this issue with him.
His chin felt cold, and Xie Rongzhuo lifted her face, squinted his eyes, moved closer, and stared at her for a few seconds.
"Why are you blushing?"
Shen Mi denied it: "It's hot, the quilt is of good quality, it should be genuine Xinjiang cotton."
She dropped her eyes, avoiding eye contact with him.
“I’m so sleepy.”
Xie Rongzhuo let her go and pointed at the wall lamp in the living room: "You are afraid of the dark, keep this one."
Shen Mi: "Will you be unable to sleep because you are not used to it? It's okay to turn it off."
Xie Rongzhuo: "You'll get used to it after one night's sleep."
Shen Mi didn't bother to be polite with him anymore and just turned off the main lights in the living room.
The living room and bedroom are separated by only a screen. The hollow screen can neither block out the faint light from outside nor hide the tall figure on the sofa.
Thinking of Xie Rongzhuo's strong arm muscles and thin waist, Shen Mi couldn't help but feel his cheeks getting hot.
How does this person look? Every part of his body precisely hits her aesthetic point.
The wall lamp emitted a faint light, and when Shen Mi looked at Xie Rongzhuo, she could feel that Xie Rongzhuo was also looking at her.
She took a deep breath and put herself into an elegant posture.
After lying there for more than half an hour, when she finally couldn't hold up her eyelids anymore, a pleasant bass voice rang out from outside: "Good night."
Shen Mi did not open his eyes, but pulled the quilt up to cover half of his smiling face.
"Good night."

The next morning, Shen Mi received a call saying that the problem at the construction site had been resolved, and with Uncle Zhong there, no one dared to cause trouble. However, Li Youcai had not yet been persuaded, so Shen Mi needed to stay for another day to completely resolve the problem.
In the living room, Xie Rongzhuo was on the phone non-stop and was using her laptop to check emails.
Shen Mi suspected that he had run away temporarily, had not finished the work at hand, and had changed his working place.
However, Xie Rongzhuo was more indifferent and had a stronger aura when he was in the office. It might be because the decoration style of the homestay was simple and warm, and Xie Rongzhuo gave people a much gentler feeling.
Today he was wearing a thin black cashmere sweater, black casual pants, and white cotton slippers, a very homely outfit.
He sat at a table near the window, with his long legs bent under the small table, in a very casual posture. The sunlight coming in from the window enveloped him, making him look lazy and cool, and as handsome as a vampire prince from an ancient castle seeing the sun for the first time.
Shen Mi was distracted by what he saw.
The phone rang, and she hurriedly looked away, standing up and looking for her phone.
"In your hands."
Xie Rongzhuo's voice came from the window.
Shen Mi: “…”
The call was from Uncle Zhong: "Mi Mi, are you free to come to the construction site now? I could have saved you some trouble, but Li Youcai is also a victim, and we are all from the same village, and I can't bear to see him like this. Come over, and you two parties can resolve this peacefully face to face, so that no one will have any grudges, what do you think?"
Shen Mi took her coat and picked up her bag: "Okay, I'll be right there."
When he passed by Xie Rongzhuo, he raised his head and asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, the villa project is going to be signed today, you can go do your thing." Shen Mi put on his coat and pointed out the window: "The construction site is at the bridge in front. Uncle Zhong and the village chief are both there, so it's fine. I'll be gone for a while and come back to bring you something delicious!"
The door closed and the girl disappeared into the corridor like a gust of wind.
Xie Rongzhuo withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and chuckled.
The little girl released her nature.
*
It's a nice day today and warm outside.
Shen Mi was only wearing a gray and white sweater, a pair of ripped jeans, and the white shoes that Xie Rongzhuo bought for her. She looked completely different from the "female star" who was carrying a platinum bag and wearing Hermès high heels yesterday.
Yesterday she came to scare people, so she had to show her full aura. Today, her purpose is to play the emotional card with people, so naturally the simpler the better.
She had a high ponytail and light makeup on her face. She was fair and tender, with thin arms and legs. She looked like a college student, or even a freshman.
When they arrived at the construction site, "Mi Mi is here, you go talk to her." Uncle Zhong waved to Shen Mi and came over.
Following behind him, besides a few young people, there was also a middle-aged man. He was slightly fat, his hair was sticking together as if he hadn't washed it for several days, and his bags under his eyes were so big that they seemed like they were about to fall out.
It should be the Li Youcai who was cheated.
Shen Mi smiled: "You are Brother Li, right?"
Li Youcai looked at her for a moment, revealing an insulted expression: "You sent a little girl to send me away, isn't this a fuss? Call your boss!"
Uncle Zhong: "Why are you yelling at her? Keep your temper to yourself, or no one will help you!"
Li Youcai held his breath, squatted aside and said nothing.
Shen Mi squatted over and squatted next to him: "I am one of the owners of the B&B. My name is Shen Mi. You can tell me directly if you have anything."
Li Youcai tilted his head, his expression doubtful: "Can you really make the decision?"
Tired of squatting, Shen Mi didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the point: "Brother Li, we are both victims. You should know that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. We are both hurt in the fight, who is the beneficiary? It's him, Mo Yuanzhe."
When Li Youcai mentioned the man named Mo, he was very excited: "That bastard is so wicked!"
Shen Mi: "So, we should unite and make him pay for the losses instead of fighting among ourselves. The two of us are in the same group."
Li Youcai cried loudly and wiped away his tears: "The village chief and the others told me that you and him had a formal contract, which is protected by law. You won't suffer any loss when you build your homestay. I am the only one who suffers!"
He made the number eight with his shaking hands: "800,000 yuan deposit, sister, 800,000 yuan! Do you know how important that 800,000 yuan is to me? That's the working capital of my factory for several months! Our factory... was dragged to death by that Mo guy!"
"I understand." Shen Mi patted his shoulder: "I understand."
After being comforted by her, Li Youcai cried even harder, and said bitterly: "I originally thought that tourism in the town has developed in the past few years, and I would open a B&B to make some money to support my grandfather's old factory, but in the end, that guy surnamed Mo screwed me over! Tell me, can I let him go and let you guys start working in peace?"
Shen Mi took out a tissue from her bag, opened it and handed it to him: "Wipe your tears. Yes, I understand your feelings very well. My factory also went bankrupt."
Li Youcai turned around and blew his nose, threw the paper into the trash can, and squatted back: "Sister, where are you from?"
Uncle Zhong: "From Boss Shen's house in Team 7."
Li Youcai was stunned for several seconds, and cast a sympathetic look at Shen Mi: "Your family is worse off than mine."
"Is that so?" Shen Mi nodded. "There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. My family has been bankrupt for more than 20 years. I have made a comeback and become a boss. Don't be discouraged."
Li Youcai accepted her comfort: "That's the truth."
Shen Mi: "That's right."
Li Youcai thought for a moment and said, "But, but my factory closed down, and I can't pay the workers' wages, so they came to make trouble with me. I couldn't find the Mo, so I had to stay here." He continued to cry, "I don't want to affect your business, sister, but I have no choice, no choice!"
Shen Mi was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly changed his mind: "I have Mo Yuanzhe's address. Let me talk to him for you. I'll make a call first, you wait."
According to the original plan, Shen Mi only wanted to appease the people, as long as they did not cause trouble again, and he had no intention of helping them to seek justice.
But when she heard Li Youcai say that he wanted to continue his grandfather's factory, she suddenly couldn't just stand by and watch.
She can hardly save herself, yet she still wants to help others. She probably inherited her father's stupid genes.
Shen Mi called Zhao Baili to explain the situation here.
Then she expressed her thoughts: "There are about twenty workers. Part of the 800,000 yuan deposit was collected by them. Most of them are elderly people. Some of them have put their entire coffin money into it. Most of them are old and don't understand the law. If they can't find Mo Yuanzhe, they will come to the B&B to make trouble with us. If this matter is not properly resolved, it will be a big hidden danger."
Zhao Baili: "I understand. Then you can talk to Mo first. If he insists on taking a tough stance and needs to help the workers sue, I'll pay for it. You'll be back the day after tomorrow, right? Then I'll find someone to take your place."
It was Shen Mi who offered to help: "I'll also contribute a portion, but it will be deducted from my year-end dividend."
Zhao Baili: "Okay, let's just do it this way for now. We don't have to sue. We'll see how things turn out later."
Shen Mi: "Okay."

On the way back, Shen Mi helped Xie Rongzhuo bring the signboard of the milk tea shop in which she invested.
Xie Rongzhuo was working out and usually didn't drink much beverages, but he thought it tasted good.
"How's business?" he asked.
Shen Mi took the pearl milk tea and sipped it into his mouth, saying incoherently: "It's good. I'm too busy on the weekends."
Xie Rongzhuo: "How are you going to deal with the B&B?"
Shen Mi swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "The person who led the riot has been appeased. Now there are many workers involved. A Li wants to solve it in court. But before that, I have to go and fight with Mo first."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Of course Shen Mi wanted it, but she hesitated.
Xie Rongzhuo was gentle and polite, but he was strong. His true character was inadvertently exposed when he got drunk. He seemed to have been guiding her, leading her into his gentle trap step by step.
However, Shen Mi really enjoyed the feeling of being pampered, and had unknowingly become more and more dependent on him.
But she felt it was not good to trouble him all the time.
Just as I was about to refuse, I remembered what Xie Rongzhuo said, "No matter what role you play at work, you can be a willful girl in life."
She no longer tried to hide her true expectations and said, "Yes."
Xie Rongzhuo seemed surprised, raised his eyebrows, and patted her head.
Shen Mi held his face close to him and asked, "But do you have time today?"
She had just finished her milk tea and her lips were plump and moist.
Xie Rongzhuo turned his face away and looked out the window.
After a few seconds, he replied: "The project contract of the villa has been signed. I have time these two days. But it's almost lunch time. Can we go in the afternoon?"
Shen Mi nodded and said, "Okay."
Xie Rongzhuo turned his head, lowered his eyes and stared at her face for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Your makeup looks good today."
Shen Mi touched his face. How could Xie Rongzhuo see such light makeup
It seems that all her efforts on makeup last time were in vain.

We had lunch at a small stir-fry restaurant.
There were a lot of people on the weekend, so Shen Mi and Xie Rongzhuo stood outside for a while before it was their turn.
Although it is a small restaurant in the town, the decoration and hygiene are very good. There are partitions between the tables and the cushions are comfortable. Shen Mi is considering whether to open a milk tea shop opposite. There is currently no coffee or milk tea shop on this street.
Xie Rongzhuo lowered his head and ticked the box on the menu: "Okay."
Shen Mi glanced at the menu: "What?"
Xie Rongzhuo: "Open a milk tea shop across the street."
Shen Mi: “…”
Even if you've slept together, you don't have to be so in sync!
After ordering, Xie Rongzhuo handed the menu to the waiter and said, "The customer flow here is good. If you want to open a store and need shareholders, come to me."
"Okay. Why hasn't Qingqing arrived yet? I'll give her a call."
"Um."
Ten minutes later.
Zhang Zhiqing held the contract, dragged her tired body and fell on the sofa, hugged Shen Mi and hummed, "I'm so sleepy, I'm so sleepy. The flight is too early."
Xie Rongzhuo glanced at her and said, "It's tiring to lie down and make money. What else can you do?"
Zhang Zhiqing sat up straight with grievance, secretly complaining: You are just jealous that I can hug Mimi! !
But she only dared to dislike it in her heart, and said in a flattering manner: "I have seen the villa, it is very large. Thank you, uncle."
Xie Rongzhuo said, "Hmm," and said, "You go back in the evening."
Zhang Zhiqing:
She just arrived! Why is she in such a hurry to send someone away? How is she in his way
“Is it because all the B&Bs around here are fully booked?” Zhang Zhiqing was unwilling to give up: “It’s okay, I can sleep with Mi Mi!”
Shen Mi was just about to speak up for Zhang Zhiqing.
"I can't sleep." Xie Rongzhuo had a blank expression on his face. He raised his hand and adjusted his watch: "My flight is at 5 o'clock. I'll go to the airport early after dinner."
Shen Mi: “…”
The author has something to say:
Zhang Zhiqing: I’m just a tool!
