Chapter 57 You don't want your secret to be known, do you?
Shen Qingyue rushed home, her heart pounding with anxiety the whole way.
Cai Yanyan spoke so urgently on the phone, using phrases like "extremely urgent," that she thought something truly terrible had happened.
When the door opened, Cai Yanyan was seen wearing her silk nightgown, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, applying a face mask and scrolling through her phone, looking incredibly relaxed.
"you……"
Shen Qingyue stood in the entryway, huffing and puffing, "Cai Yanyan, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Cai Yanyan looked up, blinked her eyes behind her face mask, and feigned ignorance, saying, "Explain what?"
"You said on the phone it was extremely urgent and told me to come back right away!"
Shen Qingyue changed her shoes, walked to the sofa, looked down at her, and said somewhat angrily, "What is it?"
"Oh, that one."
Cai Yanyan sat up straight, peeled off the face mask, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
She said with a smile, "I just went to the toilet and found we were out of toilet paper. Wasn't that urgent?"
"..."
Shen Qingyue took a deep breath, feeling the veins on her forehead throbbing.
She closed her eyes briefly to calm herself, and when she opened them again, she said, utterly speechless, "Cai Yanyan, do you think I have a lot of free time?"
"Oh, don't be angry."
Cai Yanyan wasn't afraid of her at all. She got up, moved closer, took her arm, and said in a coquettish tone, "I'm just bored at home alone, so I wanted you to come back and keep me company as soon as possible."
"If you're bored, go find a boyfriend and stop bothering me."
Shen Qingyue shook off her hand, went to the kitchen, poured herself a glass of water, and drank most of it in one gulp to calm her anger.
"None of those men are as interesting as you."
Cai Yanyan followed her over, leaned against the kitchen door frame, looked at her, and suddenly sighed.
"Qingyue, do you know that all you do all day is work? If you keep going like this, you'll turn into an old maid."
"I'd like to."
Shen Qingyue put down her cup, turned to look at her, and said irritably, "Do you think everyone is as lucky as you, with money to spend even without working?"
"There's nothing I can do. I'm a woman, and I have an older brother and a younger brother."
Cai Yanyan shrugged and laughed carefree, saying, "So what does the company have to do with me? I just need to collect my share dividends every year. The rest of the time, of course, is for enjoying life."
"..."
Looking at her matter-of-fact attitude, Shen Qingyue suddenly felt a little powerless.
People's fates are truly different.
Cai Yanyan is the only daughter in her family. She has an outstanding older brother and an equally excellent younger brother, so she doesn't have to worry about company matters at all.
Of course, it won't be her turn to take over the company in the future.
Although Shen Qingyue is the daughter of the Shen family, she is an only child. Her father has high hopes for her and has been strict with her since she was a child, raising her to be his heir.
She carries the future of the entire company on her shoulders.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Cai Yanyan leaned closer and said softly, "Next time, if I don't have any toilet paper, I'll figure it out myself, okay?"
"You want a next time?"
Shen Qingyue glared at her, but her tone had softened.
She really couldn't do anything about this best friend.
The two have known each other since childhood, and for so many years, Cai Yanyan has always maintained this carefree attitude.
But he was genuinely good to her.
"I won't do it again, I won't do it again."
Cai Yanyan quickly raised her hands in surrender, then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I'm a little hungry. Shall we go out to eat together? After we eat, you can watch a movie with me."
"I'm fine with eating, but you can watch the movie yourself, I'm not interested."
Shen Qingyue refused without even thinking.
"That won't do, it's too pitiful to watch a movie alone."
Cai Yanyan persisted, her eyes darting around before she suddenly revealed a sly smile: "If you don't stay with me, I'll secretly tell Chen Mo that you don't like to wear clothes to bed."
"..."
Shen Qingyue froze.
She turned her head, stared at Cai Yanyan, and said dangerously, "What did you say?"
"I said, I've already added Chen Mo as a WeChat friend."
Cai Yanyan waved her phone, smiling like a cat that had just stolen some cream, and said, "If you don't come with me, I'll go talk to him and share your little secret with him."
Last time she came back, she had to pester Shen Qingyue for a long time, using the excuse of inviting her to dinner, before she finally got Shen Qingyue's WeChat.
"Cai Yanyan!"
Shen Qingyue blushed, both embarrassed and angry: "You...you shouldn't talk nonsense! If I had known, I wouldn't have told you!"
"What? Regretting it now? Too late!"
Cai Yanyan leaned closer, lowered her voice, and deliberately chuckled, "You don't want your secret to be known, do you?"
"..."
Looking at her smug face, Shen Qingyue really wanted to slap her.
But she knew.
Cai Yanyan, that crazy woman, is really capable of doing such a thing.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you!"
Shen Qingyue said through gritted teeth, cursing Cai Yanyan a hundred times in her heart.
That damn woman, she came back from her trip but didn't go home, she just stayed here all day, and insisted on sleeping in the same bed with her at night.
The key issue is that his hands are still not behaving properly.
If she stayed any longer, she would really go crazy.
"That's right."
Cai Yanyan smiled triumphantly and took her arm: "Come on, let's change. I know a newly opened restaurant with really good food."
Shen Qingyue sighed helplessly and let her pull her towards the bedroom.
But in his heart he was thinking that after watching the movie with her this time, he would definitely send this woman back to his own home.
……
Meanwhile, Chen Mo and Su Xiao were already seated in the movie theater.
The two of them bought tickets for the 6:50 show, which was perfect timing.
The movie is the recently popular "Letters to Grandma," which tells a story about family, growth, and farewell.
It received high praise online, with many saying it brought tears to their eyes.
Su Xiao was clearly looking forward to it. As soon as she sat down, she took out her phone and took a picture of the movie ticket, then secretly took a picture of Chen Mo's profile, before looking down and starting to edit her WeChat Moments.
Chen Mo saw it, but didn't say anything.
Anyway, the two are now in a "cooperative relationship," covering for each other to deal with their families, so taking some photos is normal.
The movie begins.
The lights in the theater dimmed, and the opening credits appeared on the big screen.
Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, ready to watch the film attentively.
But he soon discovered that when the movie was a third of the way through and the first tear-jerking moment came, Su Xiao started sniffling.
Chen Mo turned to look at her and, by the light of the screen, saw that her eyes were already red.
He silently took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Thanks……"
Su Xiao said softly, taking a tissue and wiping her eyes.
Chen Mo thought that was the end of it.
Unexpectedly, the movie was full of tear-jerking moments, and Su Xiao's tears flowed like a dam had been opened, unstoppable.
She had already used up three tissues by the time the movie was halfway through.
Chen Mo felt a little helpless, but he understood.
Women are emotional and easily moved.
Fortunately, he always carries a pack of tissues with him.
