The Beauty Is Seducing Me Again Chapter 20
byChapter 20: 020 “What others have, you should have too.”
Shen Family Villa, study room.
“Qing’an, there’s something… about Xiaonuan moving her household registration, we might have to put it on hold for now.”
Shen Qing’an paused the hand flipping through documents, looked up, perhaps guessing Chen Xiaonuan’s reaction: “She doesn’t want to move it?”
“Yes.” Yuan Yanyu nodded, a hint of helplessness on her face. “I don’t know what her little brain is thinking. Does she think I didn’t explain it clearly? Moving into the Shen Family is clearly more beneficial than detrimental.”
“I originally planned for Xiaonuan to enter the company as the second young miss of the Shen Family after she graduates from university. Once she settles down in the company, I planned to allocate 1% of the group’s shares to her.”
Yuan Yanyu’s tone was filled with genuine intentions regarding Chen Xiaonuan’s future plans.
Shen Qing’an’s voice was faint: “You don’t need to worry. When she graduates, I will arrange for her to enter the company.”
“That’s not what I’m worried about.”
Yuan Yanyu was thinking about what would happen if Chen Xiaonuan still refused to move to the Shen Family ten or twenty years from now. Decades later, when she was old, those distant relatives of the Shen Family would likely come sniffing around for profit again.
They were all just ants and flies.
Shen Qing’an lowered her gaze, her eyes returning to the document, but her mind was completely elsewhere, not on the dense text.
Chen Xiaonuan was unwilling to move her household registration.
This answer was somewhat unexpected, yet it perfectly matched Chen Xiaonuan’s personality, allowing Shen Qing’an to breathe a complete sigh of relief. Legally speaking, since they weren’t on the same household register, they couldn’t be considered sisters.
Now Chen Xiaonuan was living in the Shen Family… she understood the principle of getting the advantage by being close to the source.
As soon as this thought emerged, it silently wrapped around Shen Qing’an’s heart like a rapidly growing vine.
Shen Qing’an suppressed the joy in her heart and closed the document.
Her voice was calm, showing no sign of happiness: “Since she doesn’t want to, then don’t move it. This kind of thing cannot be forced.”
“That’s the only way.” Yuan Yanyu sighed. Although regretful, she respected Chen Xiaonuan’s choice. “This child has her own opinions and is sensible. Maybe she doesn’t want to cause us too much trouble, and doesn’t want too many things from the Shen Family.”
Yuan Yanyu said helplessly: “She truly is a silly child.”
Shen Qing’an didn’t respond, merely rubbing the edge of the document unconsciously with her fingertips, lost in thought.
Before leaving the study, Yuan Yanyu, afraid Shen Qing’an wouldn’t take it seriously, specifically instructed her daughter.
“University starts in two days. Since it’s the beginning of the semester, there must be a lot of things to pack and take. As her older sister, arrange your time in advance, make time to take Xiaonuan to school. Don’t let her go alone. It’s a good opportunity to cultivate the relationship between you two sisters.”
Shen Qing’an agreed: “Yes, I know.”
Even if her mother hadn’t instructed her, she would have specifically made time to take Chen Xiaonuan to school.
“CEO Shen, the president of Hua’an Company wants to see you. He says he wants to discuss the cooperation proposal. What do you think?”
Shen Qing’an leaned back in the comfortable rear seat, resting with her eyes closed. Hearing the voice of her assistant from the passenger seat, she opened her eyes.
“Time.”
Zhou Ming immediately replied: “It was temporarily scheduled for tomorrow.”
Shen Qing’an glanced at Zhou Ming, her eyes showing dissatisfaction with the sudden arrangement.
Her voice was slightly cold: “I recall telling you that tomorrow needs to be kept free for the entire day.”
“But, CEO Shen…” Zhou Ming hesitated. After all, Hua’an Company sending President Wang to talk showed they took this cooperation very seriously. But when he met Shen Qing’an’s gaze, he immediately swallowed his words. He responded, “Understood, CEO Shen. I will contact the secretary to decline immediately.”
The car passed a large shopping center. The huge electronic screen on the exterior wall was playing advertisements for the latest electronic products in rotation.
Shen Qing’an suddenly spoke: “Stop the car.”
The driver was stunned for a moment, but his professional quality was high. He quickly reacted and immediately found a temporary parking spot by the roadside and stopped the car steadily.
Zhou Ming, sitting in the passenger seat, turned back and asked: “CEO Shen, is there anything you need arranged or instructed?”
Shen Qing’an didn’t answer. She pushed open the car door and walked straight toward the shopping center.
Seeing this, Zhou Ming quickly signaled a bodyguard to follow, and he trailed closely behind.
The first floor was the digital products area, filled with flagship stores of famous brands. The lights were as bright as day, displaying various styles of phones, computers, and tablets.
When the store clerk saw Shen Qing’an walk in, especially noticing the entourage of bodyguards and an assistant behind her, they understood this was a heavy-weight client and enthusiastically greeted her.
“Good afternoon, Madam, welcome. How may I help you?”
Shen Qing’an scanned the electronic products displayed on the counter. Unsure of Chen Xiaonuan’s preferences, she asked directly: “Which model do university students generally prefer now?”
The clerk was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted and began introducing products enthusiastically: “Madam, please look at this model.”
“This is our A-series flagship model, which was recently launched. It is the most sought-after model by young people right now. The color is Morning Gold, which is especially popular with girls. The performance is also top-notch; the chip is the latest configuration developed. The camera quality is excellent, it charges quickly, and the battery life is long… It fully supports both gaming and studying, and the memory is maximized…”
The clerk worked hard to introduce all the features and selling points of the phone, afraid of missing anything.
Shen Qing’an listened quietly, her gaze fixed on the Morning Gold phone recommended by the clerk.
The color was soft and looked exquisite, very suitable for a girl.
The image of Chen Xiaonuan holding this phone flashed in her mind. It would definitely be much more pleasing to the eye than that phone which resembled an elderly person’s device.
“I’ll take this one.” Before the clerk finished introducing all the models, Shen Qing’an made her decision, her tone very decisive. “Bring me a new unit.”
“The matching series tablet and laptop as well.”
“Card payment.”
“Yes, yes, Madam, please wait a moment.” The clerk was overjoyed, not expecting the customer to be so straightforward, immediately requesting the tablet and laptop as well. She quickly ran to the warehouse to retrieve the unopened new devices.
The entire process took less than ten minutes. Shen Qing’an walked out of the shopping center holding three exquisite branded shopping bags and got back into the car.
Shen Qing’an closed her eyes, continuing to rest, and instructed: “Home.”
Zhou Ming and the bodyguard exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in the other’s eyes. After all, CEO Shen never personally visited stores like this, let alone suddenly buying electronic products that didn’t fit her usual consumption habits.
It seemed these were prepared for Miss Chen at home.
The car started again, merging into the vast flow of traffic.
In the center of the bedroom, a huge suitcase was spread open. Some autumn clothes and common toiletries were already stacked inside.
Chen Xiaonuan called out without lifting her head: “Come in!”
The door was pushed open, and Shen Qing’an walked in.
“How is the packing going?”
“Sister!” Chen Xiaonuan’s eyes lit up when she saw her. It was another day of seeing a Great Beauty. “I’m almost done packing. I’m just trying to think if I’m missing anything.”
Chen Xiaonuan counted on her fingers, afraid of forgetting something. She ran to open the memo app on her phone and checked them one by one.
It was that same old, worn-out phone.
Shen Qing’an frowned slightly, walked over, and casually placed the shopping bags she was holding onto the table next to Chen Xiaonuan, signaling her to look.
“For you.”
Chen Xiaonuan looked suspiciously at the bags with the prominent logo on the table, then looked up at Shen Qing’an, and hesitantly opened them. When she saw the latest and expensive electronic products inside, her eyes widened in surprise, and she almost couldn’t close her mouth.
Did her sister buy these specifically for her?
“Sister… this, this is…” Chen Xiaonuan was overwhelmed by the favor. She quickly closed the shopping bags and handed them back to Shen Qing’an. “No, it’s too valuable, I can’t accept it. Besides, Auntie has already given me pocket money. I can buy a regular phone myself. As for the tablet and laptop, I don’t really need them.”
“They are also expensive. I don’t need anything this costly.”
Moreover, Chen Xiaonuan recognized the brand. Many students around her used it. Just one phone cost over ten thousand yuan, let alone the tablet and laptop!
Super expensive! They couldn’t be eaten or spent as money. She could buy a highly cost-effective phone for less than half the price.
Chen Xiaonuan, who had been poor for twenty years, couldn’t understand.
Chen Xiaonuan blinked: “Sister, you use them. I don’t need them anyway.”
Shen Qing’an knew Chen Xiaonuan would refuse from the start, so she had prepared her excuse the night before. Her expression remained unchanged: “I don’t need them. They were gifts from a business partner. They would just gather dust in the office, so I brought them back for you.”
She added: “I am currently using the latest model and don’t need to replace it yet.”
Without waiting for Chen Xiaonuan to speak, Shen Qing’an placed the items back on the table.
“What others have, you should have too.”
This sentence instantly struck a chord in Chen Xiaonuan’s heart, especially when facing Shen Qing’an’s beautiful visual impact. She felt like tearing up again.
She was truly, super touched!
Her Fairy Sister always did unexpected things that made her cry happy tears, but Chen Xiaonuan loved it.
When Chen Xiaonuan learned they were gifts from Shen Qing’an’s business partner, she stopped declining. After all, her sister brought them specifically for her, and they were free—that was the most important part.
“Thank you, Sister! Hehehe, you are the best, Sister. You think of everything for me.”
Shen Qing’an watched her undisguised happiness, the corner of her mouth curving slightly upwards. She reminded her: “Take the SIM card out and put it in to test it, see if there are any issues.”
“Okay~” Chen Xiaonuan’s voice was so cheerful it sounded like it was flying. She hugged the phone box like a treasure and sat on the bed, figuring out how to remove and swap the card.
Shen Qing’an’s eyes remained fixed on Chen Xiaonuan. At this moment, Chen Xiaonuan was like a little hamster with a new toy, excitedly fiddling with the new phone.
Sure enough, stopping at the mall yesterday to buy the phone was a good decision.
At least in the future, receiving messages from Chen Xiaonuan wouldn’t require waiting for a long minute or two, Shen Qing’an thought, somewhat inappropriately.
“Have you used a laptop before?”
Chen Xiaonuan shook her head. She had used the desktop computers in the school’s computer lab, but those were only for class. She had learned basic computing in her first year, but she had long forgotten everything.
Shen Qing’an opened the laptop and beckoned to her: “Come here, I’ll teach you how to activate it.”
“And the tablet too.”
She said gently: “If you don’t understand anything at school, send me a WeChat message, and I will teach you.”
Chen Xiaonuan turned her face. Shen Qing’an was very close to her; she could lean over and touch her easily. She saw Shen Qing’an’s serious expression and was slightly stunned. Only when Shen Qing’an called her did Chen Xiaonuan snap back to attention.
“O-okay, Sister.”
