Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 69
Chapter 69 All the Beauties Are Your Acquaintances
After Xia Xiaowan’s car accident, Gu Nianbin had also thought of going to see her, but he was afraid that this would make Xia Xiaowan misunderstand his intention. He was decisive in business, and also decisive in dealing with emotional issues, so he gave up this idea. To his surprise, Xia Xiaowan came to find him after she was discharged from the hospital and thanked him for helping her that night. Gu Nianbin was originally a little worried. After all, she had the car accident after hearing his words. However, after observing for a while, Xia Xiaowan was as gentle and graceful as ever with bright smiles. Other than thanking him, there was no other meaning in her words. Gu Nianbin felt relieved.
She took Du Xiaoxian out for lunch and ordered her an ice cream for after-meal dessert. The little girl was very happy. She scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth first. Gu Nianbin smiled and ate it. The soft ice cream melted at the tip of his tongue and slowly flowed down his throat. It was cold and sweet. Gu Nianbin had never favored sweets before, now he felt that the ice cream actually tasted good.
Du Xiaoxian didn’t want to go home, but she felt that she would disturb Gu Nianbin during working time in the office, so she suggested that she should go back to school in the afternoon. Gu Nianbin touched her head and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t go for one day.”
Du Xiaoxian thought for a moment and said, “There is an art class this afternoon. I want to go.”
Gu Nianbin knew that she liked drawing, so he sent her to school in person.
Among all the courses, art class was Du Xiaoxian’s favorite, because she liked drawing. Moreover, the teacher praised her for drawing well. The teacher who taught art class was surnamed Li, a tall and thin gentleman with glasses. He spoke very highly of Du Xiaoxian’s paintings and said that as long as she learned painting seriously, she would definitely make a big difference in the future. Du Xiaoxian had always been timid and had low self-esteem. It was Teacher Li’s encouragement that gave her confidence. She painted very carefully and liked to fill the paper with colors. In the past, there were no colors in her life, but now, she could choose colors and paint whatever she liked.
She had painted blue sky, white clouds, green grass, green trees, and red, yellow, purple and pink flowers. A little girl sat on the grass in a white muslin dress with a blue butterfly in her hand. The little girl’s dark hair flew in the wind, and she looked down at the butterfly in her hand with a brilliant smile on her face. Teacher Li stood beside her and looked at her painting. He kept nodding and finally said, “Xiaoxian, I want to frame this painting and hang it in the studio.”
To Du Xiaoxian, this was undoubtedly the biggest compliment. She blushed and smiled embarrassedly.
Because of his compliment, Du Xiaoxian was happy all afternoon. When school was over, she was even happier, because Gu Nianbin had come to pick her up himself. Looking at the tall and upright figure in the distance, Du Xiaoxian was so happy that she didn’t even say goodbye to Yang Liying and the others before running towards her young master.
Gu Nianbin hurriedly reached out to catch her and said in a slightly chastising tone, “Slow down. What if you fall?”
Du Xiaoxian held his arm and asked with a smile, “Why do you have time to pick me up today?”
“I’ve finished my work, so here I am!” Gu Nianbin lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, letting her get in the car.
Standing at the school gate, Yang Liying watched with astonishment as Du Xiaoxian got into Gu Nianbin’s car and left. Her eyes flashed with anger. No wonder Du Xiaoxian’s face turned pale the moment she heard her cousin’s name in the morning. It turned out that she was guilty as a bad guy! Simple as she looked, she was actually just a small bitch!

Young Master Shao was a gentle-hearted man. Hearing that his loved secretary Nina had suffered a lot from the loss of love, he definitely had to try his best to appease her. Of course, a luxurious meal was inevitable, he could afford it anyway. In Nina’s words, “Boss, your whisker alone is thicker than my waist!”
Nina arrived with Zhou Ting as usual.
Young Master Shao said to Zhou Ting, “Why are you everywhere?”
“I’m Nina’s bestie. Of course I have to comfort her when she breaks up with someone!”
“It’s rare for the two of us to have a dinner alone. Aren’t you annoying to sit between us?”
“Nina and I are the pair who should enjoy some time alone. President Shao, it’s perfectly fine if you pay the bill and leave right now!”
Zhou Ting and Shao Boqing tied in the bickering. Nina said, “Alright, alright. You guys fight every time you meet. Is this even interesting?”
Shao Boqing did not speak anymore. He turned around and saw Manager Fang of Chenguang Company. She sat in a corner with a mature and staid man, whispering to each other. It seemed that their relationship was deeper than normal
Zhou Ting followed Shao Boqing’s look and said, “Well, President Shao, you really wouldn’t give up any chance to look at beauties.”
“What beauty? She’s an acquaintance of mine.”
“Of course, all the beauties are your acquaintances!”
“Isn’t that Manager Fang of Chenguang?” Nina also looked over.
Zhou Ting had heard of Manager Fang’s great fame, so she hurriedly looked at her again. She was indeed a beauty, truly Shao Boqing’s type.
Nina added, “She’s with her boyfriend, right? He looks like a career man, quite a match with her.”
But Shao Boqing said, “The first thing a career man will give up is his relationships.”
Zhou Ting looked at Shao Boqing, “President Shao, you aren’t thinking of stealing her away, are you? She has a boyfriend, that’s immoral.”
“You can only see rainbows after the wind and rain. ” Shao Boqing took a sip of red wine and said, “It’s true love if you can’t break them apart.”
Nina opened her eyes wide, “No way, boss, you really…”
Shao Boqing smiled but didn’t say anything. He just took a sip of the wine.
Two girls ordered the most expensive dishes in the restaurant, so the waiter stood by the table and attentively served the three distinguished guests with bigger smiles. Zhou Ting and Nina were naturally extremely happy enjoying such a luxurious dinner. Actually, Nina wasn’t lying. She really broke up with her boyfriend. However, she was the same with her boss. The chances of her finding a boyfriend were as high as kicking a pebble on the roadside. Her relationships were all short. Shao Boqing’s at least lasted three months, but hers only survived three days. After just one dinner, Nina already got tired of him, so she dumped him right away.
Sometimes Zhou Ting looked at the two of them and felt really strange. The secretary was exactly like the boss. But why hadn’t them be together since they were all easy with relationships?
Seeing that the two beauties were enjoying the dinner, Young Master Shao was also very happy. He had always believed that his duty was to make the beauties happy. Everyone was having a good time, so they quickly finished two bottles of red wine. The three of them were all slightly drunk when they were leaving.
Standing on the streets, everyone continued to laugh and laugh, as if they were reluctant to leave. Shao Boqing then said, “I’m not having fun tonight. Let’s drink at another venue.”
Zhou Ting and Nina both were quite good drinkers. Young Master Shao wanted to treat them to a drink, of course they had to go. So the two beauties got into Shao Boqing’s luxury car and went to a nearby bar.
Shao Boqing often came to this bar, so the waiter at the entrance knew him. The moment he saw him came with beauties, he led their way at once and said with a big smile, “Mr. Shao, Mr. Shen has just arrived.”
Shao Boqing was very happy hearing this, “Let’s join Mr. Shen’s table.”
Nina had met Shen Li twice and was considered an acquaintance of him, so they hugged each other warmly the moment they met. Then Shao Boqing introduced Zhou Ting and Shen Li to each other. When Shen Li heard that Zhou Ting was Gu Nianbin’s secretary, he hurriedly asked the beautiful women around him to leave and patted the empty seat beside him, “Come, Miss Secretary, sit here.”
In private Zhou Ting and Shao Boqing bickered with each other all the time, but they were very reserved in front of outsiders, therefore she immediately smiled and sat down where she was invited to. She had also heard about Shen Li’s great fame before, so she secretly glanced at him. He was indeed a noble and decent young master, but different from Gu Nianbin and Shao Boqing. President Gu was staid, Shao Boqing was flamboyant, but Shen Li was refined with a touch of roguishness. He was not talkative, but his words were right on the mark, causing the two beauties to laugh loudly.
The four of them played dice, drew fists, drank wine and chatted, really had a good time until after one o’clock in the morning. Shao Boqing asked Shen Li to send Zhou Ting home, while he left with Nina.
Nina was a little drunk, she lay on the seat and giggled, “Boss, you did it on purpose, right? Shen Li is a cat who craved for fishy food. My bestie may be eaten by him.”
Shao Boqing also drank too much and said with a smile, “Zhou Ting is a little chili pepper. Shen Li may not be able to eat her.”
Nina stroked her forehead and opened her eyes with difficulty, “Boss, why do I feel like you’re driving an S route? Drive carefully, my life is in your hands!”
“Don’t worry,” Shao Boqing stepped on the accelerator to the end and sped on the empty road, “Even if I don’t cherish my own life, I still value yours, because you are my precious baby!” He began to sing loudly after saying this.
Nina also let herself go completely, dancing and singing along with him in the car.
They drove all the way to Nina’s house safely despite all the craziness, noise and dangers. Nina was too drunk to keep her senses, but she still managed to pull Shao Boqing out of the car, “You can’t drive back like this. Go, go upstairs. I’ll make you a cup of tea and wake you up!”
Shao Boqing was still excited, putting his arm around Nina’s shoulder and laughed, “Alright, let’s go up and have a cup of tea!”
The two of them hugged each other and staggered upstairs. Nina lived in a boutique apartment building. Her apartment was not so big, but it was nicely decorated.
As soon as Shao Boqing entered the room, he dropped his shoes and fell on the sofa. His was still humming songs. Nina forced herself to go to the bathroom to wash up, then brought a wet towel for Shao Boqing.
Shao Boqing seemed to have fell asleep with his eyes closed. Nina had to squat down and wipe his face. Just as she was about to get up and leave, her hand was grabbed by him. Before she could regain her senses, she was already dragged into Shao Boqing’s embrace.
Looking at this face in front of her, Nina felt that all the blood in her body was rushing to her head quickly. She was really drunk, so drunk that she became insane to kiss him!
It had been five years. For five years, they had been flirting with each other, sometimes they even made dirty jokes for fun. Shao Boqing dared to slap her butt while Nina dared to touch his thigh. However, they had never really thought of it that way. It was just that the two of them couldn’t be any more familiar with each other. Nina felt that sometimes they would even ignore each other’s gender like a good sister or brother. But…now she actually kissed him!
Shao Boqing opened his eyes and looked at her confusedly. But Nina asked him with a giggle, “Am I your little baby?”
Shao Boqing’s confused expression only lasted for two seconds before he suddenly turned around and got on top of Nina…
