Chapter 19: Just coax and it’ll be fine.
Liang Yin stood outside the car, gently knocking on the window.
As the window slowly rolled down halfway, Shang Hexing’s half-profile was exposed, and he glanced up at Liang Yin, who stood outside.
Liang Yin immediately called out, “Second Brother.”
In the past, the ‘Xie Shang Wei Qin’ four great families were at their peak. By Shang Hexing’s generation, they were considered nobility from the big courtyard. Initially, the most prominent Xie Family led the rankings, but although the name remains, the Xie Family had long lost its past glory. Conversely, with the highly-regarded rise of Shang Hexing, his family had become the number one distinguished family.
Liang Yin, a few years younger than Shang Hexing, had idolized him during those years, cheerfully following behind and calling him “Second Brother” several times.
Later, Liang Yin joined the army, determined to make a name for himself by emulating Shang Hexing’s path. But now he realized that to reach the heights Shang Hexing had achieved, even ten more years wouldn’t suffice.
Liang Yin wouldn’t admit the gap between people.
But he had to admit the gap between him and Shang Hexing.
“I just ran into Wei You and found out Second Brother came to Red River Bank to play ball. I thought I might have a chance to exchange a few moves with Second Brother, but unfortunately, luck wasn’t on my side,” Liang Yin said with a hint of regret in his voice.
Shang Hexing said, “There’s a sudden meeting in the city, next time.”
“Alright, take care, Second Brother.” Liang Yin had specifically come to greet him, and having done so, he tactfully stepped back.
Just as he was turning around, he suddenly heard a gasp from inside the car.
It was made by Shang Hexing, and Liang Yin would not mistake it.
He turned his head back, looking into the car.
With the window half down, the scene inside was dim, barely discernible. But at least on first glance, Liang Yin didn’t see anyone sitting beside him.
At this moment, Wen Zhi was nervously hiding in Shang Hexing’s embrace. She didn’t dare to breathe too loudly for fear of being discovered by Liang Yin. But due to her intense nervousness, maintaining one position without moving, sweat kept streaming down her back.
While speaking with Liang Yin, Shang Hexing noticed her extreme nervousness and raised his hand to support her lower back, offering comfort.
His palm was dry and warm. It only rested on her waist for a while, but she felt his palm getting hotter and hotter, even hotter than her skin.
Her ears reddened.
The movement was somewhat exaggerated; Shang Hexing frowned, lifted his palm, and pressed her head down, signaling her to stop moving.
She didn’t move again, her face pressed against his chest, her nose sniffing the faint smell of fir mixed with a rich scent of pheromones – a smell that, if inhaled for too long, could make one feel dizzy.
She let out a soft breath.
It’s done.
Her legs were growing numb.
She tried to shift her buttocks slightly to change her position, but accidentally caused the man to gasp. She stiffened, realizing she had caused trouble.
Shang Hexing’s eyes grew deep and knowing; the hand that was supporting her waist now pinched it, his gaze upon her as if he was about to devour her.
“Second Brother, is there someone else in the car?”
Liang Yin’s tone was clearly suspicious; being a man, he naturally sensed something was amiss with that gasp from Shang Hexing.
There was not only someone else in the car, but also a woman.
Yet Shang Hexing had always been reputed for his propriety and distance from women. This sudden exposure truly surprised Liang Yin.
With one hand pinching Wen Zhi’s slender waist, Shang Hexing’s other hand rested on the window control button: “She’s shy, doesn’t like to meet strangers.”
Hearing this, Liang Yin grew even more curious: “The woman Second Brother took from Red River Bank?”
Shang Hexing spoke in a steady tone, “She came with me.”
Suddenly, Liang Yin proposed, “Second Brother, may I meet her?”
Shang Hexing’s expression was cold and clear, “It’s not convenient.”
Liang Yin thought to himself, how inconvenient could it be? Just lower the car window and take a look. Although Wen Zhi couldn’t possibly be involved with a person like Shang Hexing, he still felt uneasy inside.
So he needed to confirm it.
Ignoring Liang Yin, Shang Hexing pressed the button to raise the car window. Seeing this, Liang Yin extended his hand to the gap in the window and said in a deep voice, “Brother, I’m looking for someone.”
Shang Hexing withdrew his hand, and by then the window had already risen to three-quarters of the way up, even if Liang Yin leaned in, he couldn’t see inside the car.
“So, you suspect that the person you are looking for is in my arms?” Shang Hexing’s voice was cold.
“…”
At this time, Liang Yin’s face looked somewhat ugly, partly because he needed to consider Shang Hexing’s pride and partly because of what Shang Hexing had just insinuated,
“It’s getting late,” Shang Hexing raised his hand to check his watch, his tone significantly less patient, “If you can’t find the person, check the surveillance. I still have a meeting, let’s talk about other things another day… Hiss.”
The sound had barely ended when there was another sharp intake of breath.
Liang Yin’s expression changed instantly. Being a man himself, he recognized that sound…
Shang Hexing looked down at the young woman in his arms, she certainly was helpful, using this kind of method. Did she really think he could remain unaffected?
He sighed, his voice hoarse, “Have you had enough tantrums? My work has been very busy lately, but I will try to make some time for you.”
Even though she knew he was just playing along in her act, Wen Zhi’s heart still uncontrollably sped up a bit, her voice caught as she replied, “That’s more like it~”
Hearing the woman’s voice inside the car confirmed for Liang Yin that the person was not Wen Zhi, because the Wen Zhi he knew never used that tone; he should have realized this earlier.
“Brother, sorry for the disturbance just now,” Liang Yin backed away and stood aside, casually adding, “Actually, most women are soft-hearted, just coax them a little, and they’ll be fine.”
Shang Hexing looked at the ‘soft-hearted’ young woman in his arms, her eyes moist and seductive without her realizing, “We’ll take care of it slowly when we get back.”
Wen Zhi blinked her eyes.
Liang Yin was no longer curious about who the woman in Shang Hexing’s arms was, also not wanting to spoil Shang Hexing’s mood, “My friends are waiting. I’ll go ahead. Hope to have a chance to spar with you another time, brother.”
Shang Hexing responded with a hum, then the car window slowly rose.
Silence returned to the car.
Wen Zhi, who had just caused a mess, hadn’t recovered yet and didn’t even notice the window rising, remaining in her original pose, obediently staying in Shang Hexing’s arms.
Shang Hexing didn’t remind her, wanting to see when she would come back to her senses without being prompted.
After a long moment, she still didn’t react.
Shang Hexing wasn’t worried about wasting time, but thinking that he would see her puffed-up face later, he decided not to delay any further and gently called her, “Wen Zhi.”
Wen Zhi suddenly looked up, her eyes bright and clear, still somewhat dazed.
Shang Hexing said softly, “He’s gone.”
Wen Zhi quickly got off Shang Hexing, moved back to her seat, and straightened her clothes.

Her ears were so red they seemed to bleed, “Thank you, brother.”
Shang Hexing asked, “Did you have a past issue with him?”
Upon hearing his question, Wen Zhi immediately denied, “No.”
There actually was an issue. If there really hadn’t been any, with Wen Zhi’s current tolerance, she could have endured until the end of the ball game when Chong Wanyin would take her back.
Shang Hexing said indifferently, “Some things are apparent just by looking.”
Wen Zhi choked and laughed, “Is it that obvious?”
Shang Hexing, “Your eyes can’t hide anything.”
Wen Zhi, “…”
