Chapter 398 — Mother Shen's Intentions
Years of Heartflutter · Page 2 of 2
If the two of them were to share some small flirtation or the like, whether Yang Ce meant it sincerely or falsely, or even if it was only ***, it would make her daughter happy, and that was what Mother Shen wished to see.
A moment ago, seeing Yang Juehuan's gaze fixed on her daughter's chest, Mother Shen had rather thought her plan might succeed. But in the blink of an eye, Yang Juehuan's gaze had shifted away, and he even wanted to leave, which disappointed Mother Shen slightly.
Of course, that disappointment could not be spoken aloud; she could only have her daughter cover herself with the blanket.
Shen Yuxi was somewhat embarrassed. She awkwardly pulled over a towel blanket and covered herself. "Yang Ce..."
"Ha, you two chat—I'll go make tea..." Mother Shen knew she had to create an opportunity for her daughter, so she turned and left the room, leaving the space to Yang Ce and Shen Yuxi.
After Mother Shen had gone, Shen Yuxi gave Yang Heng an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. My mother... she's a bit overenthusiastic."
"It's all right... haha." Yang Ce handed her the bag in his hand. "These are some materials on business management. I brought them for you—take a look when you have time."
"Thank you..." Shen Yuxi happily took the document bag Yang Ce handed her.
"Thank me for what?" Yang Ce said. "Study hard. When you come to the company later—I've already made arrangements. I'll set up an office especially for you, and your mother can be your life secretary, drawing a salary just the same."
"This..." Shen Yuxi had not expected Yang Minlan to be so good to her—not only keeping a job for her, but arranging one for her mother as well. She was suddenly overcome with emotion. "Chairman Yang... thank you... thank you..."
"I told you to call me Yang Ce—what's with this 'Chairman Yang'?" Yang Ce sweat-dropped. "If you call me that again, I won't come see you anymore."
"Fine, then I'll call you Yang Ce." Shen Yuxi nodded happily. The closer she and Yan became, the happier she naturally was.
"Do your legs have any feeling?" Yang Yanchuan asked.
Shen Yuxi's expression dimmed, and she shook her head. "Not yet. But I've stopped thinking about it. Being alive is already good enough."
"In a few days I have to go away on a trip. When I get back, I'll help you find a way." Yang Ce sighed. Shen Yuxi could not go on like this—was she to be stalled like this for a lifetime?
Yang Minlan was good to Shen Yuxi partly out of sympathy for her, and partly because rumor had once run wild in the Bu Ye Tian that she was his mistress. Although Yang Shuo had denied it, now that such a thing had happened, if Yang Ce denied it again he would seem heartless. Some people who did not know the truth might even think he had abandoned Shen Yuxi because he saw she could not stand. So Yang Ce simply decided to see the matter through to the end.
"Mm... thank you..." Though Shen Yuxi held no hope in that regard, she still nodded happily—at the very least, Yang Ce was willing to run about for her sake.
"Thank me for what?" Yang Ce waved a hand. He did not know whether he should tell Shen Yuxi that he was going to Yunnan, but after thinking it over he decided to give it up. Right now Shen Yuxi regarded him as one of her spiritual pillars. Though she did not say so, Yang Ji could feel it—if he went to Yunnan and could not return, would Shen Yuxi still have the confidence and hope to go on living?
That was not what Yang Ce wanted to see, so he decided to leave Shen Yuxi a space for reverie and expectation.
