Chapter 594: Chapter 593: 593, Mysterious girlfriend exposed

The gap between male and female strength was vast, especially given that Shi Minyan was dead set on not letting her leave.

It wasn’t until an elderly man passed by on his morning run that Shi Minyan closed the distance to her and spoke softly, “Get in the car, or I can carry you into the car. You choose.”

“Shi Minyan!” Shi Huan lost her temper in her urgency, yet she didn’t dare to raise her voice too loud. “Don’t forget who you are now! You’re a married man!”

“I don’t care.” Shi Minyan’s laugh was somewhat self-deprecating, “These past few years, your aunt has known that my heart has never been with her, but that doesn’t matter. As long as I go home, as long as nothing changes between us three.”

Shi Huan looked at him, her face slightly surprised, for a moment not quite understanding what he meant.

“Don’t worry, she doesn’t know about what’s between us.”

Shi Huan immediately retorted, “The only thing between us is that we’re uncle and niece.”

“But Huanhuan, you admitted your feelings for me, remember? On Valentine’s day, you gave me a present and said you liked me, wanted to be with your ‘big brother’…”

“Stop talking!” Shi Huan forcefully cut him off, “I was only fifteen back then! Shi Minyan! I didn’t even know you were my real uncle!”

“But I can’t forget that time.” Shi Minyan’s eyes shimmered slightly, “Or what did you think, why would I show up today? Do you know what day today is? Hm?”

Shi Huan clenched her fingers, “What do you want in the end?”

“Nothing in particular.” Shi Minyan finally let go of her, “Get in, I just want to take you to work.”

“I have my own car.”

“Get in.” Shi Minyan repeated, his usually gentle face showing a rare sternness.

“Huanhuan, are you heading to work?” A familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

Shi Huan turned her head to look, somewhat speechless, “Grandma Wu.”

It was the gossipy old lady from upstairs.

Truly, the old lady’s eyes looked over curiously, “Huanhuan, who is this?”

“My uncle.” Shi Huan replied simply.

“Uncle?” The old lady clearly found it hard to believe.

Shi Minyan was thirty-two this year, looking no different than a man in his twenties.

While Shi Huan is twenty-four this year, the two standing together really did not look like uncle and niece.

This Huanhuan, last time she brought a man home for the night, lied that he was her boss.

This time brought home another man overnight, and is now lying that he’s her uncle.

Flirtatious, and not honest!

Truly, not a good girl!

Shi Minyan spoke again, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to work.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Shi Huan had no choice but to follow him.

Work begins at nine, and it was already half past eight.

Except for going out, she was never late.

Because the Huangyou’s rules are set by her, employees are not allowed to be late every month. Being late once will deduct full attendance, and Huangyou’s full attendance bonus is 2000 yuan.

Shi Minyan drove a black Audi, it was obvious that he was doing quite well, no longer the poor chap who had been in jail years ago.

Shi Huan sat in the back seat, remained silent after getting into the car.

It was only until Shi Minyan suddenly asked, “What’s the deal with you and Chu Xiuhuang?”

Shi Huan was looking out the window.

No explanation was given.

Shi Minyan’s voice continued to ring out, “Chu Xiuhuang, the eldest son of the Chu family, the leader of Nancheng’s princes, God’s pet, the object of all women’s dreams in Nancheng. Five years ago he suddenly announced that he entered the business world, establishing Huangyou Company to do venture capital projects. In less than five years, it has become one of the top three investment companies in the country. However, he has too many scandals, changes girlfriends once a month on average, and has even been rumored to be homosexual.”

Shi Minyan laughed, talking to himself, “You’ve been his secretary for five years, don’t tell me you’re suddenly thinking of changing your relationship with him.”

The moment he saw the newspaper, he won’t deny, he felt a slight sting.

But after calming down, he thought it couldn’t be.

“Huanhuan, the man you love the most is still me.” These words, were full of smugness.

“You’re overthinking it.” Shi Huan simply said.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Huangyou building.

As she was getting out of the car, Shi Minyan spoke again, “Huanhuan, you know, I went to prison for you back then, and I married Tu Youran for you as well. I know, our relationship is not accepted by society, but Huanhuan, please believe me, I will protect you, everything I do is for your own good. The woman I love, it’s always been you, and only you.”

If he had said these words a few years ago, when they didn’t know about their blood relation yet, Shi Huan would have been moved.

But now…

“Shi Minyan, ever since I returned to the Shi family, our relationship is nothing more than uncle and niece. I was young and ignorant before, I didn’t know what love was, but now I’m grown, I know what’s right and what’s wrong. Even if you weren’t my uncle, you have a wife and child now, and I refuse to be the third wheel, because I have a conscience.”

Having said that, she got out of the car and left without looking at his ashen face.

He sat in the car, looking at her petite figure quickly entering the building, and remained in place for a long time.

Until his phone suddenly rang.

He answered the call, “Youran.”

“Minyan, where are you?”

“Nowhere, I stepped out this morning to meet a friend. I’m heading back now.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you at home. Remember we agreed to take Luoluo to the amusement park today. Don’t forget.”

“Okay.” The man’s voice was very gentle.

After hanging up the call, he quickly drove the car out.

Shi Huan had always thought she was an orphan from a young age.

She stayed in the orphanage until she was fifteen, being adopted by several families during that time.

She remembers the first people who adopted her, a wealthy couple with a daughter, who shortly after adopting her, dies in a tragic car accident while on a family trip.

The second family that adopted her suddenly went bankrupt.

The third family she was…

Shi Huan couldn’t remember them clearly anymore.

In short, all of those adoptions ended unfavorably and the orphanage began to spread rumors that she was actually a bad-luck charm, a curse.

She didn’t have any friends, and no one yet wanted to adopt her until she was fifteen. At that time, she met Shi Minyan who came to her school as a teaching assistant.

She confessed her love for him, encouraged by her classmates as a young girl experiencing her first romantic feelings.

The time they spent together was just one day, they hadn’t even held hands. The next day, Shi Minyan’s father, also known as Master Shi, suddenly came to the orphanage, took her home and told her that she was the Shi family’s granddaughter who had been abducted for the past decade.

As for the rest of the story…

“Miss Shi, Miss Shi!”

Shi Huan was brought back to reality.

“Are you also looking at this gossip?” Assistant Xiaoliu pointed to her computer.

Shi Huan looked carefully. At some point during her daydreaming, a news pop-up had appeared on her computer screen.

Looking at the headline, she was practically scared stiff.

How did last night’s news spread so fast?

Shi Huan couldn’t help but do a Baidu search for “Chu Xiuhuang.” What she discovered was a whole new world.

“Master Chu’s mysterious girlfriend officially exposed!”

“Has Brother Fire Emperor’s heart been captured?”

“Mysterious girlfriend appears, Chu Xiuhuang is proud.”

“She: Saved the Milky Way! Captured Chu Xiuhuang!”

“…”

There were numerous headlines of this sort.

The previous time she was featured in the news with Chu Xiuhuang, she was wearing a black suit, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, no makeup, looking entirely like a staff member.

Therefore, most of the media praised Chu Xiuhuang’s wealth, assuming her to be a secretary accompanying her boss to a banquet.

Occasionally, one or two gossip outlets suggested that the two were having an office romance. But without many people believing this, and Chu Xiuhuang not commenting on it, the story quickly fizzled out.

But this time was different.

Last night she was wearing a high-profile outfit worth millions, while Chu Xiuhuang was shirtless, looking like he had just finished showering, and they looked intimately close. Moreover, she added fuel to the fire by sitting in such way as to solidify their couple status while trying to deflect attention from Mo Weiyi.

So now, almost all of the media is discussing the romance between these two people.

This is the end.

“Master Chu’s body is so good!”

“He has an eight-pack!”

“In clothes, he looks thin, but without them, boy does he have muscles!”

“His physique is no worse than a model’s!”

“By the way, Sister Shi, do you know this woman?”

On hearing this, Shi Huan paused.

“Yeah, she’s so beautiful. Do you know who she is, Sister Shi?”

Shi Huan again, “…”

They didn’t recognize that it was her?

Well, she did always wear those big black-rimmed glasses, so it made sense that no one recognized her as the woman in the photo.

That’s good. At least she doesn’t need to find another explanation.
