Chapter 39: Is Shen Qingqiu a Romantic?

After a night without words, the next day arrived. Jiang Che got up, ate breakfast, and as usual, went to Shen Qingqiu’s company.

In Shen Qingqiu’s office, Jiang Che walked in directly without knocking – a habit unique to him. Shen Qingqiu, busy reviewing documents, didn’t even raise her head at the sound. She knew without looking that it was Jiang Che.

“Do you never have proper business to attend to?” Shen Qingqiu, glancing at Jiang Che sitting across from her, playfully rolled her eyes.

She wasn’t bothered by Jiang Che’s behavior, but she worried that if word got out, it might impact his reputation.

“Isn’t visiting my fiancée a serious matter?” Jiang Che replied earnestly.

“Aren’t you afraid people will say you neglect your duties, only entangling with a woman all day?” Shen Qingqiu said with a light chuckle.

“Hmph, I’d like to see who dares! Ill break their legs!” Jiang Che scoffed coldly, unafraid of any rumors or gossip.

“Pretty fierce~,” Shen Qingqiu mumbled, not dwelling much on the matter. She casually took a bouquet of roses from behind and handed it to Jiang Che.

“What’s this for?” Jiang Che asked, puzzled.

“You dummy, of course, it’s for you,” Shen Qingqiu laughed softly, amused by Jiang Che’s reaction.

Seeing Shen Qingqiu smiling, Jiang Che was momentarily captivated. It was his first time seeing her smile; though she had always been gentle in tone and demeanor, she had never really smiled before.

“Don’t you like roses?” Shen Qingqiu asked, seeing Jiang Che’s stunned expression.

“Of course, I like them. I just didn’t expect your smile to be so beautiful, befitting of my fiancée,” Jiang Che teased. “If you’re this beautiful when you smile, why keep a cold face all the time?”

“Then, should I smile more for you?” Shen Qingqiu responded playfully, her usual icy demeanor replaced with a bit of coquettishness, reserved only for Jiang Che.

“That would be wonderful,” Jiang Che replied, appreciating the glimpse of a side to Shen Qingqiu that most don’t see.

“Oh, there’s one more thing,” Shen Qingqiu said as she took out a contract transfer agreement from her drawer and handed it to Jiang Che.

“What’s this?” Jiang Che asked, curious.

“Nothing much, considering you are my fiancé, mine is yours, right?” Shen Qingqiu spoke in a slightly teasing tone. “I own a total of 30% of Shen Corporation’s shares. Consider these 15% as my dowry.”

“After all, I am the only daughter of the Shen family. Eventually, Shen Corporation will be yours too, so you’re getting a good deal here,” she added with a chuckle and her tone then turned a bit playful,

Perhaps due to her years spent in the mountains, her thinking was somewhat conservative. With the mindset of ‘wherever you go, I follow’, she rationalized that everything would eventually belong to Jiang Che once they were married; it was just a matter of doing it sooner rather than later.

Jiang Che looked at Shen Qingqiu with an odd expression, seemingly discovering another side of her personality. Could it be that she was overly romantic? She seemed too eager to give everything to him just after establishing their relationship.

“Does your father know about this?” Jiang Che curiously asked.

“Of course he doesn’t. He would never allow me to do this,” Shen Qingqiu shook her head.

“Aren’t you afraid I’m deceiving your feelings?” Jiang Che asked teasingly. The 15% shares of Shen Corporation were significant. Signing this contract would mean he’d receive a substantial dividend from the company each year.

“I trust you. You won’t deceive me,” Shen Qingqiu said, looking at Jiang Che for a long while before firmly shaking her head. “But if you dare betray me…” Shen Qingqiu’s voice trailed off with a cold laugh, a chilling aura briefly emanating from her.

Jiang Che touched his nose, feeling a bit guilty. The fleeting intensity from Shen Qingqiu had unnerved him.

He realized that he had to be careful with his future actions, especially around other women, until he surpassed her in strength.

“How could I? I will definitely not let you down; you’re so good to me,” Jiang Che said cheerfully, picking up a pen and signing the contract.

“Hmph, I hope so,” Shen Qingqiu mumbled. She had thoughtfully decided to transfer the shares to Jiang Che. After all, he had waited for her for years and didn’t indulge in the reckless behaviors of other wealthy heirs.

Shen Qingqiu intended to secure Jiang Che’s heart, envisioning a future where they could happily live together after marriage.

If she knew that Jiang Che would eventually charm all of her fellow disciples, she might regret her decision today…
