Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Her figure emerged in his mind.
An Zhe read the room and gestured at Sun Nanjue with a wink, signaling him not to bring it up again.
But Sun Nanjue was not having it and gave An Zhe a cold look, “What? Have you seen so many beauties that your eyes are acting up? Need me to find you an eye doctor to take a look?”
An Zhe held his forehead and shook his head.
Sun Nanjue was determined to give Sheng Shaochen a hard time today.
“Ignore him. I bet he went messing around somewhere last night and left his brain with those women!”
Unable to get Sun Nanjue to take a hint, An Zhe had no choice but to smooth things over. He stepped forward, draped an arm around Sheng Shaochen’s shoulders, and led him away.
...
Left behind by his two old friends, Sun Nanjue stood there bewildered, staring at his empty arms.
“An Zhe, when did I ever realize you were so vicious with your words?”
“Forgot to bring your brain, how could you have realized?” Sheng Shaochen chimed in.
Sun Nanjue was nearly choked to death by these two old friends.
Usually so eloquent, his boastfulness was instantly half-extinguished.
“Hey! Are you two trying to kill me with anger? I was just kindly setting up Ah Chen with women, and that’s wrong now?”
“An Zhe, don’t you always think about getting Ah Chen out of his fear of women? Why are you acting so unusual today?”
…
Seeing his two old friends arm in arm entering Shuian Blue Bay without bothering with him made Sun Nanjue furious.
He nagged around them endlessly, like a never-ending chant.
Back and forth, it was all about one thing: he believed Sheng Shaochen was interested in the woman from last night, so he wanted to make sure Sheng Shaochen tried to interact with her again today.
Sheng Shaochen looked at him deeply and asked, “How many lines do you want to push her up this time?”
“Come on! Am I that kind of person?” Sun Nanjue slapped his forehead in frustration, resentfully glancing at Sheng Shaochen, “This time, I really saved her for you. I didn’t even lay a finger on her!”
“In Jin City, are there actually women Sun Nanjue fancies but doesn’t touch? She must be something shady,” Sheng Shaochen slightly curled his lips and said to An Zhe, “Shall we take a bath together?”
“Listening to Sun Nanjue talk about women really calls for a good soak, otherwise, it’s exhausting both mentally and physically,” An Zhe agreed.
The two of them stripped off their clothes, wrapped towels around themselves, and headed to the hot spring.
The sound of water rippling began as they sat down side by side in the hot spring pool.
Sheng Shaochen had been working continuously these days, especially with the added workload from evaluating Ye Group, and he was indeed feeling a bit tired.
Soaking in the hot spring pool, he immediately felt refreshed and relaxed, shedding his usual sharpness for a hint of weary laziness.
An Zhe casually lay on the edge, enjoying the back-scrubbing service from the attendant, “Been busy with work recently?”
“A bit,” Sheng Shaochen also turned to lay on the edge, ready for the service.
“Because of Ye Group?”
“That’s one reason.” Mentioning Ye Group made Sheng Shaochen spontaneously picture Ye Shu, that little woman.
His heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and his brow furrowed slightly.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
He wondered if that little woman had reached Shengshi Group and if she would be having trouble with the receptionist?
After all, she had no appointment, and he had intentionally turned off his phone.
Sheng Shaochen had never been disturbed by such trivialities before.
But at this moment, his mood was unexpectedly irritable.
Sheng Shaochen suddenly sat up straight, turned around, and with both hands on the edge, extended two fingers to the attendant.
The attendant immediately understood, lit a cigar, and placed it between Sheng Shaochen’s fingers.
