Chapter 477: 477, help baby peel shrimp

Chu Jingyi raised her delicate eyebrows, “Let’s order some light dishes with vegetables.”

“Yes, miss.”

When the waiter left, Chu Jingyi looked at Su Wanwan and gave a self-deprecating smile. “I’m getting old and need to focus on my health. I can’t compare with you young ladies anymore.”

Su Wanwan offered her a very professional smile.

Heh, who wasn’t capable of polite reciprocation?

Not long after the order was placed, Chu Jingyi’s phone rang. She picked it up and answered elegantly, “Qin Feng, what’s up?”

“…”

“That painting was done when I was twenty. You don’t remember that? Back then, Stephen and Jone bought the exhibition rights.”

“…”

“5 million, not a cent less.”

“…”

“I’m having dinner with friends, I’ll stop talking for now. There’s no room for negotiation on the price, everything else is up to you.”

With that, she hung up the phone directly, laughing lazily. “This agent is really annoying. Even during a meal, he still wants to discuss the painting with me.”

“Sister, if you’re so busy, you should let me handle my matters,” Chu Xiuhuang quickly intervened.

Chu Jingyi looked at her brother. “Then you need to get your eyes wide open. As your sister, I am worried about you, do you think I want to meddle in your affairs?”

“Anyway, I don’t need your help anymore.” Chu Xiuhuang said, raising an eyebrow towards Shi Huan at his side, “Because I have Xiaohuan now.”

Chu Jingyi: “…”

She looked at Shi Huan, her red lips puckering displeasedly.

Although she really didn’t like this low-tier woman who wasn’t presentable, she couldn’t say much in front of Chu Xiuhuang.

After all, Chu Xiuhuang had been in the hospital for almost a month with an illness.

Even though the exact reasons were unknown, the old Chu had already laid it out – to prevent worsening his condition, everyone in the Chu family couldn’t upset the young master these days, couldn’t visit him at the hospital unnecessarily, and especially couldn’t stimulate him with words – especially about women and marriage…

Moreover, Huo Jingshen was present today.

In a short while, the door to the private room was knocked on and the waiter pushed the dining cart in. One after another, beautifully presented dishes were served on the table.

Chu Jingyi had just picked up a shrimp with her ceramic chopsticks.

“Baby, do you want some shrimp?” Huo Jingshen’s voice suddenly rang out.

Su Wanwan glanced at him, “No, it’s too much effort.”

Huo Jingshen raised his good-looking eyebrows, picked up several shrimps and placed them on a plate, and started peeling them.

His fingers were long and his knuckles were clear, the way he peeled shrimp was graceful and nimble. He quickly peeled several shrimp tails and placed them on the plate in front of Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan looked at him, unable to hide a sweet smile, her voice was also sweet, “Thank you, husband.”

She picked up a peeled shrimp tail and popped it into her mouth, smiling as she ate.

“Is it good?” Huo Jingshen asked.

His voice was deep and gentle.

“Delicious!” Su Wanwan nodded as she ate.

So, Huo Jingshen picked up his chopsticks again and continued to peel several more shrimps.

Chu Jingyi suddenly felt her fingers loosen their hold on her chopsticks.

Was there really a need to show off like this?

Couldn’t they be a bit more considerate of the feelings of others present?

As for Chu Xiuhuang, his slim phoenix eyes narrowed in displeasure.

Crap, showing off affections in front of me?

He quickly raised his hand, picked up several shrimps and placed them in Shi Huan’s plate.

Cough cough.

He was fastidious about cleanliness, otherwise, he would have helped peel them.

Who would’ve thought…

Shi Huan glanced at him, put down her chopsticks and started peeling the shrimps efficiently.

When the peeled shrimps were placed back on his plate, Chu Xiuhuang was stunned.

Su Wanwan across the table was also stunned.

Good lord!

This Chu Xiuhuang was too much, wasn’t he?

He actually let a woman peel shrimp for him!

Even if she’s your secretary, you can’t just order her around like this, can you?

He had no gentlemanly manners at all!

Seeing Chu Xiuhuang frozen and not eating, Shi Huan blinked her eyes and asked curiously, “Mr. Chu, is that not enough? I can peel a few more for you.”

Having said that, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and continued to peel a few more shrimps.

Chu Xiuhuang once again: “…”

When Huo Jingshen across the table lifted his eyelids to look over, he quickly picked up a shrimp tail and put it in his mouth.

Humph.

You help your wife peel shrimp; I have a girlfriend who helps me peel shrimp.

Please tell me: who is happier?

After finishing, he didn’t forget to command, “Xiaohuan, help me peel a few more.”

“Okay.” Shi Huan didn’t stop her movements with her hand.

Thus, Su Wanwan’s impression of Chu Xiuhuang deteriorated even more!

He was such a Huang Shiren!

Seeing that Shi Huan was going to pick up more shrimps, she suddenly got up, “Huanhuan, could you accompany me to the restroom?”

“Sure.”

**

As soon as they stepped out of the private dining room, Su Wanwan immediately asked her indignantly, “Huanhuan, why are you so nice to Mr. Chu?”

“He is my boss.”

“Even if he’s your boss he can’t just take advantage of you like that, it’s simply too much!”

Seeing Su Wanwan advocating for her, Shi Huan couldn’t help laughing, “It’s because he’s been giving me 5 times my usual salary recently.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Five times the salary?

Alright, no arguments there.

If it were her, she would be willing to do it! It’s just peeling a few shrimps after all. People with money sure act like lords.

However, she still wasn’t used to Chu Xiuhuang’s attitude, he was like a spoiled young master who’s fed with his mouth wide open. Although Huo Jingshen was sometimes quite indescribable, he never made her do things for him like this.

Su Wanwan thought, mhm, her husband was definitely the best!

Upon entering the restroom, Su Wanwan asked again, “Huanhuan, have you known your boss for a long time?”

Shi Huan nodded, revealing a number, “Over seven years. We’ve known each other for more than seven years.”
