Chapter 146 Trouble

　　…

　　Seeing Aerith sulking, Shen Ye shook his head, then sat next to her, watched TV with her, and chatted with her for a while.

　　Not long after, Elmyra came out of the kitchen and called Shen Ye and Aerith to have a midnight snack. Of course, Elmyra didn't eat much because she still wanted to maintain her figure, so most of the food went into Shen Ye's stomach.

　　After Shen Ye had finished his meal, Elmyra had already gone to bed, leaving Aerith to help clean the table.

　　Originally Shen Ye wanted to come by himself, but was rejected by Aerith, so he could only cross his arms, lean against the door frame and look at her.

　　"Huh! Finally done." Aerith wiped her hands with a towel.

　　Then she turned around and looked at Shen Ye: "Aren't you going to rest yet?"

　　"How can I have the nerve to take a rest when you're busy here?" Shen Ye shrugged.

　　"Hmph, you have a conscience." Aerith snorted and then said with a smile.

　　"However, since you are done with your work, I will go to rest." Shen Ye stood up straight.

　　"Yeah." Aerith nodded and waved to Shen Ye: "See you tomorrow!"

　　"See you tomorrow!"

　　…

　　In the next few days, Shen Ye's life was very regular. During the day, he basically accompanied Aerith to take care of her flower garden, and at night he accompanied her to various commercial districts to sell flowers.

　　Of course, occasionally when he has free time, he will still go to Seventh Heaven to have a drink and chat.

　　Shen Ye originally thought that he would continue to live this way until the plot officially began.

　　However, trouble sometimes comes to you on its own.

　　…

　　It was another night of accompanying Aerith to sell flowers. As usual, Shen Ye carried a flower basket and wandered aimlessly on the streets of the commercial district in the Eighth District.

　　But when he reached the door of a luxurious restaurant, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

　　"Do you want to buy flowers?" Looking at the person in front of him who looked like a bodyguard, Shen Ye didn't think much about it and just asked lazily.

　　"Yes." The man who looked like a bodyguard nodded.

　　"How many do you want?" Shen Ye asked, "Thirty-one, no bargaining."

　　"All of them," the man said.

　　"All?" Shen Ye suddenly perked up, looked down at the flowers in the basket, calculated the price and said, "Nine hundred dollars in total, what do you think?"

　　"Okay." The man nodded and said, "However, the buyer is not me, but someone else, and you need to deliver it in person."

　　"No need to see him off!" Shen Ye refused immediately when he heard that he was asked to see him off himself. He was too lazy to run!

　　When the man heard Shen Ye's refusal, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately frowned in dissatisfaction: "Listen, the person who bought your flowers is a big shot, don't be shameless."

　　"Give it to me if you want." Shen Ye glanced at him, snorted coldly, and walked past him.

　　Seeing Shen Ye was about to leave, the man who looked like a bodyguard became a little anxious and reached out to grab Shen Ye's shoulder.

　　Feeling the movement behind him, Shen Ye frowned. Just as he was about to fight back, he suddenly heard a charming mature female voice: "Stop."

　　Then Shen Ye heard the crisp sound of high heels stepping on the ground approaching him.

　　"hiss!"

　　Shen Ye suddenly felt something was wrong because he thought of someone.

　　So he looked back, and sure enough, it was Scarlet, jogging towards him from the restaurant.

　　"We meet again, my warrior." Seeing Shen Ye turning back, Scarlet stopped and stood in front of Shen Ye in an extremely elegant posture.

　　Although Shen Ye wanted to say that he didn't want to meet her again, he thought about it and didn't say it. He just asked, "Are you running out in such a hurry to pay me back?"

　　"Is money all you care about?" Scarlet rolled her eyes in annoyance. The man in front of her seemed a little unromantic. Her gesture was in vain.

　　"What else? Do you have anything else to do?" Shen Ye looked at Scarlet. He had to say that Scarlet in a red dress was indeed beautiful. The years did not seem to have left too many traces on her body. Instead, they gave her a unique charm that could not be seen in Aerith and Tifa.

　　Scarlet had been keeping an eye on Shen Ye. Seeing him looking at her, she did not show any displeasure. Instead, she changed her posture and let Shen Ye look at her openly.

　　Then she asked, "Would you like to have a drink with me?"

　　"No." How could Shen Ye drink alcohol now? He still had to go home with Aerith later. If the other party smelled the alcohol, he would not be able to explain it clearly.

　　Although Shen Ye felt that Aerith would not say anything.

　　Shen Ye's refusal again took Scarlet by surprise. She looked down at her own appearance, especially her figure which she was most proud of, and gradually became confused.

　　Am I really that unattractive?

　　After thinking for a while, Scarlet said, "If you stay with me for a while, I will give you the money."

　　"Sorry, I sell flowers but not my body." Shen Ye shook his head and prepared to leave. He didn't plan to take the money. He didn't want to be too deeply involved with the people of Shinra.

　　Seeing that Shen Ye didn't even want the money, Scarlet felt discouraged. Then he turned around and left, so Scarlet simply followed him.

　　"Why are you following me?" Shen Ye asked with a headache as she looked at Scarlet who was only one step away from her.

　　"I'm not following you!" Scarlet showed an innocent expression: "The road is so wide, I can go wherever I want, why do you say I'm following you?"

　　"It's up to you!" Shen Ye didn't want to pay attention to her, turned his head and continued walking forward.

　　"Hehe!" Seeing Shen Ye's look, Scarlet felt a little proud, "Little boy, you can't escape from your sister's grasp."

　　Looking at Scarlet who was clinging to him like a dog-skin plaster, Shen Ye felt helpless. He could only speed up his pace and try to shake him off.

　　However, Scarlet seemed to know what he was thinking. When he accelerated, Scarlet also accelerated. In order to catch up with him, she even took off her high heels.

　　But Scarlet was a woman who was used to a life of luxury. Her feet, which were only covered with stockings, soon became rubbed raw from running on the hard concrete floor, and her speed gradually slowed down.

　　But even so, she still gritted her teeth and persisted, following Shen Ye with a staggering step.

　　Soon, the two people, one running and one chasing, came to a secluded street.

　　"Why..."

　　At this time, Scarlet finally couldn't bear it anymore, cried out, and fell to the ground.

　　Hearing the cry of pain behind him, Shen Ye didn't want to pay attention, but the crying that followed made him stop.

　　Turning around, Shen Ye looked at Scarlet, who was crying softly with a sad face, and frowned.

　　"You're almost forty years old, why are you still doing this?" he thought to himself.
