Chapter 50 Let's Have a Heart - to - Heart Talk by Candlelight Tonight!

The wind in late spring is warm and genial. The laughter of the two men sitting by the wall seems unusually harsh in this desolate alley entrance. The two big men who are supporting their fellow gang members look back at their boss and that fierce man as if they are seeing monsters. Completely puzzled, they really can't figure it out.

After the laughter subsides, Xiao Sheng places his arms on his knees and casually says to him, "Well, it's not convenient for me to deal with my friend's father directly. Since I'm helping, I might as well do it thoroughly. Could you do me a favor and give him a couple more slaps?"

"No problem." After saying this, Dao Baqiang stretches out his right hand, holds it in mid - air, and mutters, "Liu Qiang. People who know me well call me Qiangzi. Those in the underworld call me Dao Baqiang. I'm quite well - connected in this area. Come have a drink with me sometime."

Xiao Sheng also stretches out his right hand and bumps his fist firmly against Dao Baqiang's, replying with a smile, "Xiao Sheng. Others call me Dog Sheng. I never turn down a drink, but if it's less than 56 degrees, don't bother inviting me."

"Hehe, I know. You mean the authentic Niulanshan Erguotou. That's the only kind I drink too." After saying that, the two look at each other and smile again.

Seeing Dao Baqiang, who still walks a bit unsteadily, Xiao Sheng stands up, shakes his head with a smile, and turns to walk into the community. The two don't exchange contact information, but they both know in their hearts that, being like - minded and having similar temperaments, they are bound to meet again someday.

Xiao Sheng climbs up the corridor, which has no streetlights, at a slightly slow pace. Having not rested much for several nights and being in a state of high mental concentration for the past few days, Xiao Sheng, whose physical strength is severely depleted, looks rather tired at this moment.

Dai Muxue's home is on the third floor. Just as Xiao Sheng steps onto the corner of the second floor, he hears the sound of a door opening. The light from the room spills onto the corridor entrance, making the originally dark floor a bit brighter. As he is about to turn into the third - floor corridor, Xiao Sheng looks up and sees Dai Muxue standing close to the doorframe. At this moment, the "lady in uniform" has glistening tears in her eyes. She bites her lips tightly and stares straight at Xiao Sheng, who is walking up from below.

With a sincere smile, Xiao Sheng climbs the steps one by one and slowly walks up to Dai Muxue. He looks at her with a smile and says softly, "What are you looking at? Do you think I look really impressive right now? Are you having any thoughts?" Hearing this, Dai Muxue's lips curl up slightly. She gives Xiao Sheng a sidelong glance and leaves a sentence that makes Xiao Sheng's mind wander.

"As if... not at all." After saying that, she turns around and walks into the inner room. However, the shyness she can't hide on her face still makes Xiao Sheng instantly notice something.

Xiao Sheng follows her in and sees Chen Shuyuan holding Dai Muxue's mother's hand, chatting and smiling. When Xiao Sheng enters the room, Dai Muxue's mother stands up in a fluster, looking too awkward to know how to express her gratitude. Xiao Sheng genuinely likes this simple rural woman. His eight - year life in the mountains and forests has made him truly experience the kindness and hospitality of rural women.

Xiao Sheng and Chen Shuyuan don't stay long at Dai Muxue's place. After a short rest, they get up to leave. The mother - daughter pair accompany Chen Shuyuan and Xiao Sheng downstairs. They don't turn back to the apartment until they see the black Mercedes - Benz drive out of the community.

Although the story of a hero rescuing a beauty is clichéd, it has to be said that it is the most effective way to shock and unlock a woman's heart that has been sealed for years. At least, this is the case for Dai Muxue. Looking back on their interactions during this period, Dai Muxue suddenly realizes that Xiao Sheng is no longer that hateful, and his temperament is not that bad either. Apart from being a bit glib and having a few small hand gestures, there's really nothing much wrong with him. Indeed, before a man is overcome by passion, what else can he do but these things?

The car is speeding back to Spring Garden. Xiao Sheng, who is a bit tired, "wastes" this opportunity to be alone with the beautiful boss. With his mouth tightly shut, he remains silent throughout the journey.

Perhaps it's because she drank some alcohol at the dance today, or maybe because there's a good opportunity for cooperation with Zhonglei Group, Chen Shuyuan, who was originally sitting in the back seat, unexpectedly starts a "gossip" conversation with Xiao Sheng.

"Assistant Dai is a nice woman." Chen Shuyuan's sudden words startle Xiao Sheng. Through the front - view mirror, Xiao Sheng meets her gaze and replies with a smile, "You're also a nice woman, President Chen. Moreover, you're wealthy, a high - class, beautiful, and rich woman. Every man would have fantasies about you."

"Glib - tongued." Although all kinds of flattery work, even though Chen Shuyuan's expression remains cold after hearing Xiao Sheng's words, one can tell from her response that she's actually happy inside. There's no woman who doesn't like to hear men praise her.

"I'm serious, President Chen. Look at the way those men in Huaxin look at you. Describing them as drooling over you is not an exaggeration at all. And of course, 'those men' include me." Xiao Sheng's words become more and more outrageous, leaving Chen Shuyuan speechless. She simply chooses to remain silent.

"However, President Chen, I can tell that you're a woman with a story. At least, your coldness was gradually developed later in life. Sometimes, don't see things so clearly. Isn't it good to be muddle - headed once in a while? You lack someone to confide in." Xiao Sheng's words deeply touch Chen Shuyuan's heartstrings. She never expected that this man, who has only been in contact with her for a short time, could see through her so clearly.

"You seem to know a lot about women?"

"Wrong. I only deeply understand the women I'm interested in, like you." Xiao Sheng turns his head halfway and looks at Chen Shuyuan with a smile. Chen Shuyuan, who is too lazy to pay attention to him, rubs her arms with both hands and says with a hint of resentment, "It's hard to find a bosom friend."

"Squeak." Xiao Sheng slams on the brakes and turns his head abruptly. Chen Shuyuan, who isn't wearing a seatbelt, is jolted forward. At this moment, Xiao Sheng just turns his head, and their faces are only inches apart in an instant.

"Shuyuan, what do you think of me? I noticed a small park ahead just now. How about we have a heart - to - heart chat by candlelight tonight? Get to know each other better."

Chen Shuyuan grabs the handbag beside her, sits back, and hits Xiao Sheng hard on the forehead with it. With a bit of "indignation," she replies harshly, "Just drive your car properly." Rubbing his forehead gently, Xiao Sheng, whose enthusiasm has waned, is like a deflated balloon. He starts the car again. Because of what just happened, the two don't talk for the rest of the journey until they arrive home.
