Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 454 Heartless in a CEO Novel (34)

"Let's break up. I won't tell my family."

After a long silence, Xia Youmi left the room with only one sentence.

I pushed open the door; it was pitch black.

Even though you can see the sky clearly from the floor-to-ceiling window, you only really feel it after you go outside. Every year, he follows Xia Youmi closely, never forgetting to wrap the leash around her wrist.

They stood outside the venue. Yu Li was driving today, and Xia Youmi hadn't made many preparations.

It's a bit far from the city center, so it's not easy to hail a taxi here.

Picking up her phone, Xia Youmi realized she actually had no friends. She only had family and Yu Li, and later she completely isolated herself from the world, except for Niannian.

Just as she was about to contact someone she didn't know well and talk to them when she got back, she heard a "beep" and a car came from the direction of the parking lot, not forgetting to point its high beams at her and honk its horn to remind her.

This idiotic behavior was really easy to guess.

"Get in the car, Miss Xia!" Shao Yunshen poked half his head out, his smile rather strange.

Xia Youmi showed no fear and scoffed, "Lord Shao, you didn't even foresee this, did you?"

As he spoke, he opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

"What do you mean by 'calculate'? I just don't believe in any genuine or pure emotions." Shao Yunshen said in a nonchalant tone. Ever since Xia Youmi pointed out his unusual hobby, he has been less pretentious when facing this person.

He'd play it by ear, though he still thought breaking up Xia Youmi and her boyfriend would be more exciting. The entanglement between Qiu Ling and Xi Yangxi was interesting too, but not nearly as intense.

Xi Yangxi felt he was betraying Qiu Ling just because he looked at her a little longer.

Those with weak foundations are naturally less able to withstand risks. Coupled with an overly strong self-protection mechanism, Shao Yunshen deflated before he even started playing, making it impossible for him to display his unscrupulous and tyrannical demeanor.

Unfortunately,

Xia Youmi and her partner were remarkably resilient; they viewed everything rationally and could hardly even get into a fight to vent their frustrations.

Shao Yunshen guessed that even if they had conflicts.

They also analyze themselves, rushing to admit their mistakes first, and each other remains a special existence, leaving no room for anyone else to interfere.

Better to die

Even if we were to break ties, it seems like it wouldn't be my turn.

Helpless, Shao Yunshen had no choice but to change his tune and find another source of amusement to fill the void.

As for Xia Youmi, let her make money as she pleases; at least Shenta didn't lose money.

Seeing through his true nature, Xia Youmi stopped pretending with Shao Yunshen. He was wicked, and wicked in a self-righteous way. What could she do about it?

As I said before, Xia Youmi won't meddle in other people's business unless there's a conflict of interest.

Especially the romantic scenes between the male and female leads.

Although the current trend is that it's hard to say whether the show will even happen, as long as it doesn't involve her, we'll just ignore it.

Did Qiu Ling know in advance that Xia Youmi and Yu Li were a couple?

Was he approaching her intentionally with ulterior motives, or was he trying to provoke her?

These things are not important at all.

Xia Youmi only considered her and Yu Li's affairs as being between the two of them. No matter what small actions anyone else might take, they were not the main reason and could not affect her direct decisions and considerations.

Just like now, she didn't intentionally get into Shao Yunshen's car to provoke him.

It was obvious that some people were waiting to see the show, so she faced them directly and resolved the matter with them.

"You...really broke up?" Shao Yunshen couldn't help but ask while driving.

He couldn't quite figure out Xia Youmi's way of doing things, otherwise he wouldn't have stared at her for so long, waiting for her to leave.

"Then I'll have to disappoint Mr. Shao."

"Tsk, you don't seem like the kind of person who can tolerate a grain of sand in her eye." Shao Yunshen glanced at Xia Youmi in the rearview mirror, who still looked perfectly normal. She didn't even show the slightest bit of the messiness from the breakup and argument. On the contrary, it was her dog that was being persistent.

She kept a watchful eye on his every move, as if she could break through the window and leave with her master at any moment, showing more emotional fluctuations than a human.

"Hehe, we can't tolerate a grain of sand, but it's not enough to warrant a death sentence." Xia Youmi kindly gave the final answer, not giving Shao Yunshen a chance to jump around.

"pity."

"Mr. Shao, you should be glad I didn't want to get involved in your affairs, otherwise it would have caused endless trouble and wasted a lot of money-making opportunities." Xia Youmi stated her position and earnestly said to Shao Yunshen, "I sincerely suggest that manipulating people's hearts will backfire sooner or later. Someone as business-minded as you shouldn't crash and burn down a whole group of investors who follow you."

"Well, I must thank you for your investment acumen and your kind reminder!" Shao Yunshen's tone was playful and confident, with a fierce air that even if the ship capsized, no one would dare to snatch food from his mouth.

Seeing that the male lead, Long Aotian, still exuded an imposing aura, Xia Youmi felt somewhat relieved about her money.

She knew the main characters' storyline was going astray.

However, it's uncertain who will lose their luck first, and it's also possible that the male and female leads won't become a couple, but will still achieve success in various fields.

That would be best; she could hitch a ride and accomplish her and Niannian's goals in this world, besides living a good life.

Where is the money?

The power to speak lies where it is.

It's not hard to understand why she wouldn't invest in the female lead to ride her coattails.

After dropping Xia Youmi and her dog off at their apartment complex, Shao Yunshen left. However, as he passed the spot where he had first witnessed the young couple embracing, he couldn't help but gaze back and reminisce.

How easy is it to change a person's habits and quirks?

It's true that the profits are huge, but does that mean we should completely compromise for the sake of profits?

He, Shao Yunshen,

Can't he have both value and people?

What is there to balance? Even if he loses the value Xia Youmi created, he can still have countless second-tier substitutes; their sheer number can offset the loss. But this person, and the pleasure she and that person brought, remains irreplaceable.

Who told these two to always show their affection downstairs at the company?

Perhaps it was to avoid harassment.

But his cleverness backfired, giving him chance after chance to spy and engage in more than just shady schemes.

Rather, it is subtly mixed in.

Watching that woman act up so closely in front of him, her man, oblivious to everything, took the bait. Even the scent of intimacy smelled so good; it was a complete and utter pleasure.

If Yu Li can no longer get close to him.

Wouldn't that mean missing out on a lot of fun? Shao Yunshen is not one to mistreat himself, and besides, he's a proactive, goal-oriented madman who doesn't like to follow plans.

It's time to immerse yourself in, be influenced by, and gently inhale the fragrance of flowers.

......

The days passed quickly and peacefully.

Xia Youmi's activities with the Niannian Foundation went very smoothly. Although the initial investment was large and there was no return, only a reputation, Shao Yun's application for funding was very prompt.

Xia Youmi doesn't mind using Shenta's substantial capital to invest in infrastructure.

He'd sponsor all sorts of relief efforts, charitable foundations, and public welfare sports events as long as Shenta was listed as a sponsor.

Xia Youmi knew she couldn't take too big a step, so she handled things carefully, keeping herself busy all the time.

She didn't listen to Yu Li's further explanation; she simply wanted him to be a useful volunteer when he wasn't studying or working, and Xia Youmi had no reason to stop him. Niannian also had to run around with her, and Xia Youmi was worried about Niannian when the shop assistants Xi Yu and Yu Li weren't around. She was so cute, and she had even become a spokesperson for the foundation and received coverage from official media.

It is gradually becoming a popular phenomenon online.

Such a positive image makes one an easy target for people with ill intentions.

Those damp and destructive people prefer to target things that are in the light.

When Xia Youmi arrives at a place, the first thing she checks is the surveillance cameras, the layout of the corridors, and the emergency exits.

Her emotions affected the only two people who felt comfortable taking care of her every year.

Xi Yu became increasingly nervous, forcing Nian Nian to act obediently or show a preference for Yu Li. This reassured the shop assistants and reduced the need to look after it.

Yu Li was naturally happy to agree.

When no one is around, she always reflects on her past experiences, constantly examining whether there are any oversights. That spirit of inquiry occasionally brings a sigh to her lips.

However, Yu Li's intentions were never conveyed to You Mi in advance.

Since it's a matter between the two of them, no matter how close they are, it's not something that can be decided or interfered with. Its only responsibility is its own and Yomi's career, and making Yomi happy.

The remaining,

Let those who have a headache have a headache!

While things were relatively calm and progress was not visible, Shao Yunshen launched a small attack, mentioning his attempt to emulate Yu Li but ending up with a mess that could make anyone laugh out loud when feeling drowsy.

The CEO cooked lunch for her? Or perhaps, he inadvertently revealed his alluring figure? It almost reached the point of being harassed, and time and time again, Xia Youmi refused with a cold laugh.

The occasional quip mixed with laughter always made Shao Yunshen feel uneasy.

Like,

A domineering CEO... is making a fool of himself in front of her?

She even looked like she couldn't resist giving a tip?
