My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: This Girl, Too Shameless Chapter 23: Chapter 23: This Girl, Too Shameless Xiao Fen remained unwillingly outside the door, gazing through the unshut gate at Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi in the courtyard.

Zhou Shuyan took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back, seeing Xiao Fen still at the door, he turned again and walked back to the gate.

Xiao Fen’s eyes brightened, knowing it was impossible but still hoping a bit.

Could it be that Zhou Shuyan was inviting her in?

Or did he realize that his attitude was bad just now and was about to apologize?

Yet, Zhou Shuyan stopped in front of the door and, in front of her, closed the gate.

Xiao Fen: “…”

Zhou Shuyan didn’t care if Xiao Fen had left or not and asked Lu Youxi as he walked back, “What’s the matter?”

Until they entered the house, Lu Youxi hadn’t responded, Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but turned his head and raised his eyebrows, only to see that Lu Youxi had just met his gaze and then guiltily looked away, not daring to look at him.

“Isn’t it something you can say?” Zhou Shuyan asked, lifting his eyebrows.

“Can you put on your shirt first?” Lu Youxi said uncomfortably, his voice murmuring softly.

Even Lu Youxi hadn’t expected the voice that came out to be so delicate, timid like a sheltered young girl.

Lu Youxi even felt that her life in the past was like a dream, making her so unimpressive now in front of Zhou Shuyan.

Zhou Shuyan was stunned for a moment before realizing that he hadn’t worn a shirt because of chopping wood in the hot weather.

He had forgotten it because of the disturbance by Xiao Fen and wondering what Lu Youxi wanted from him.

“Seems it’s not a big deal, for you to mind whether I’m wearing a shirt first,” Zhou Shuyan chuckled, “But on TV, you see people wearing even less; do you mind that too?”

Lu Youxi: “…”

She really didn’t mind when watching TV.

Even during intimate scenes, she watched without blushing or skipping a beat.

Being an adult, and having lived two lifetimes, she wouldn’t mind the small scenes on TV.

But facing Zhou Shuyan without a shirt now, Lu Youxi couldn’t even dare to look, feeling flustered just by a glance.

“I don’t mind that much,” Lu Youxi stubbornly said, not wanting to give in in front of Zhou Shuyan, “If you think it’s okay, then I don’t mind either.”

Lu Youxi consoled herself, Zhou Shuyan was handsome, had a good physique, and giving her a free show; it was a gain for her no matter how you looked at it.

Thus, Lu Youxi bravely looked straight at Zhou Shuyan, her gaze slowly dropping from his face down to his waist.

Even putting on an air of her past life as a CEO, she provocatively smirked at Zhou Shuyan’s waist as if seasoned by many romances.

Zhou Shuyan: “…”

What’s with this girl!

Zhou Shuyan might keep to himself, but he wasn’t naïve or ignorant.

Even if he hadn’t been with a woman, he’d seen plenty of scenes.

He was used to women flirting with him, trying all sorts of tricks to get his attention.

Yet, he always remained unmoved, only to nearly lose it when teased by Lu Youxi like this.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhou Shuyan who ended up conceding first and went inside to put on a T-shirt and come back.

“I’ve put on a shirt now, what do you want?” Zhou Shuyan sat opposite Lu Youxi and asked as he returned.

“I’d like you to keep my admission notice safe.” Lu Youxi took the moment when Zhou Shuyan had left earlier to calm herself down, now handing him the admission notice, “I got admitted to Jing University.”

Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows, didn’t take it, and simply said, “Congratulations.”

“But why would you want to give something so important to me to keep?” Zhou Shuyan finally asked.

“Because it’s not safe at my place,” Lu Youxi honestly said, “My grandparents don’t want me to go to university, thinking it’s a waste of money for a girl. Though I provoked them into agreeing that if I got into Jing University, I could attend, and my father even promised to pay for it, with neighbors as witnesses. But I don’t trust my grandparents’ morals, nor do I trust that my uncle’s family won’t create trouble. So even with their assurances, I dare not leave the admission notice at home.”

“In this village, there’s no one I can trust.” Lu Youxi continued, she hadn’t thought of giving it to the village chief, as if Zhenguo demanded it, the chief would still give it back to Zhenguo, “After thinking it over, you’re the only person I can trust.”

“You trust me?” Zhou Shuyan eyebrows shot higher, “Who was the person who waited for me at midnight and warned me then?”

Lu Youxi: “…”

“I just didn’t want to drag Grandma Xu into your mess,” Lu Youxi thought to herself that this man still remembered to bring up old issues at a time like this, “Everything about Hexing Village and its people doesn’t involve you, and you won’t stay here for long, so you have the least reason to harm me. Harmful things that benefit no one, clever people wouldn’t do them.”

And clearly, Zhou Shuyan was a clever man.

“Besides, with you here, no one should be able to break in and steal the admission notice,” Lu Youxi confidently said.

She had been hidden behind a tree all night without making a sound, and he still noticed, showing how alert this man was.

“But why should I help you? As you said, I’m not involved with Hexing Village or its people,” Zhou Shuyan slightly curled his lips, derisively saying, “I’d rather not get involved and watch from the sidelines.”

“I saved your life with Grandma Xu, even your medical fees were paid by us together,” Lu Youxi retorted, “You still owe me.”

“Let’s not talk about it for now, if you need help with something, you can also ask me. We can benefit mutually,” Lu Youxi continued, “You don’t want to get involved with village people, but if there are matters that need handling, I’m probably the most suitable person. At least you can talk to me after all.”

Zhou Shuyan paused for two seconds, then took the admission notice Lu Youxi handed over, “Okay.”

“Thanks,” Lu Youxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing how visibly relaxed Lu Youxi had become, Zhou Shuyan also marveled at her confidence in him.

After doubting him just last night.

“I won’t disturb your wood chopping then,” said Lu Youxi, and without bothering about where Zhou Shuyan would keep the admission notice, simply waved and left.

It wasn’t until Lu Youxi’s figure had disappeared that Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.

Lu Youxi was indeed a rather amusing girl.

Lu Youxi turned out from Grandma Xu’s house and started heading home.

She ran into Zhenguo, who was just returning from the village chief’s house.

He had just chased out from home, failed to find Lu Youxi, and thought she must have gone to the village chief, so he headed straight there.

Little did he know, Lu Youxi wasn’t there.
