Beautiful Woman, You Have Another Express Delivery! (GL) - Chapter 31

The people Ah Zhi found were indeed quick and efficient. In one afternoon, Cheng Qiuyi’s exploded-like kitchen was cleaned up as good as new. Cheng Qiuyi was very satisfied and gave everyone extra money for their hard work. After sending them off, it was almost time for Liu Shuhan to get off work, so Cheng Qiuyi simply went directly to the entrance of Liu Shuhan’s company to wait for her.

Liu Shuhan’s workplace, though called a company to outsiders, was actually a combination of office and warehouse, with large trucks constantly coming and going, kicking up dust. This was Cheng Qiuyi’s first time visiting Liu Shuhan’s workplace. Seeing this kind of environment, she started worrying again. With all this coming and going every day, what if she developed rhinitis or pharyngitis? She had to figure out a way to get her closer to herself.

Liu Shuhan came out, chatting and laughing with a few female colleagues. She was holding a stack of papers that looked quite substantial. Cheng Qiuyi quickly got out of the car and took them from her hands. “Why didn’t you say anything about carrying so much stuff?”

Suddenly, a stunning beauty appeared and seemed very familiar with Liu Shuhan. The colleagues beside them exchanged glances and teased, “Oh, Shuhan, why didn’t you tell us you have such a beautiful friend?”

Liu Shuhan was so embarrassed her tongue was tied. The words were stuck in her throat. It was Cheng Qiuyi who helped her out. “Shuhan’s apartment lease expired a few months ago, and she moved to a new place. I’m her current roommate.”

The colleagues understood. “Shuhan, why didn’t you tell us you have such a good-looking roommate? Hiding it is not nice.”

“Exactly, exactly. Roommate, what’s your name? Let’s all go for a drink sometime.”

Liu Shuhan got a headache just hearing the word “drink” now and quickly interrupted, “Enough, both of you have boyfriends. Is it appropriate to surround a girl and inquire like that? Go quickly, enjoy your time together.”

The colleagues checked the time and indeed bid farewell one after another. Liu Shuhan finally relaxed, wiping her sweat. “Qiuyi, don’t listen to their nonsense. I haven’t had a drink with them!”

Cheng Qiuyi opened the car door, gently pressed Liu Shuhan into the passenger seat, and fastened the seat belt. “I know.” Liu Shuhan usually only spoke of the few male coworkers who delivered packages with her. She had never mentioned any female colleagues. Now that Liu Shuhan was essentially promoted to the top of the branch company, it was easy to guess what kind of people were coming around.

“What is that thick stack of papers? It’s dead heavy.” Cheng Qiuyi tied up the stack with a string, stuffed it into the trunk, turned the steering wheel to reverse, and asked casually.

Liu Shuhan slumped into the chair, her shoulders relieved of the weight, and replied weakly, “I don’t know either. All I know is that if I don’t finish these things by tomorrow, my boss will scold me to death.”

The documents included papers that required Liu Shuhan’s signature, various company reports, and all sorts of things, none of which Liu Shuhan could understand.

“The boss is ridiculous. Does our company even have foreign orders? There are English documents! Isn’t this just making things difficult for people?”

“Take your time. You can’t rush this.”

“I can’t take it slow—” Liu Shuhan wailed. “Those files are due tomorrow—”

The next intersection was a red light. Cheng Qiuyi stepped on the brake and stopped. “Don’t think about those things. We agreed to celebrate properly today. What do you want to eat?”

Liu Shuhan was both picky and not picky. She didn’t like sour or bitter foods, but thanks to years of training by Mama Liu, she could still eat them if necessary. She didn’t have any specific favorites, or rather, she wasn’t fussy about anything and could eat anything that wasn’t too bad.

What to eat? Liu Shuhan tapped her chin, pondering. Passing a hot pot restaurant, her eyes lit up. “Qiuyi, how about we have hot pot?”

“Sounds good. This one?” Cheng Qiuyi gestured toward the restaurant following Liu Shuhan’s gaze.

“No, I mean, how about we buy ingredients and have hot pot at home? We still have some bone broth left at home, and it would be a waste not to use it.”

Cheng Qiuyi naturally had no objection. Anything that passed through Liu Shuhan’s hands could be transformed into something wonderful. However…

“First, let me warn you. The road to the vegetable market has traffic restrictions today. We can’t go through.”

“Ah?” Liu Shuhan’s face was filled with disappointment. “Then what should we do?”

“Let’s just stop by the supermarket near the house and buy some things. There are only two of us. How much can we eat?” As long as they avoided the wet market, anything was fine. Cheng Qiuyi thought for a moment and added, “I’m warning you, don’t buy any winter melon. I feel sick just smelling that stuff now.”

Liu Shuhan smirked at that, reaching out playfully and feeling Cheng Qiuyi’s lower abdomen. “Sick? Could it be that you’re pregnant? Hmm, good baby, say ‘Mommy’.”

All of Liu Shuhan’s rogue behavior was taught by Cheng Qiuyi. Was Cheng Qiuyi afraid of her? She freed one hand, grabbed Liu Shuhan’s wrist, and pressed it against her own abdomen, preventing her from moving. “Feel carefully. This is your seed in here, a little Dead Wood.” As she spoke, her fingers gently tickled Liu Shuhan’s palm a few times.

Although Cheng Qiuyi practiced martial arts, she came from a wealthy family and was pampered since childhood. Her fingers were long and delicate, her nails neatly trimmed and painted with a pinkish nude color, unlike other women who had various styles of manicures. There wasn’t a single callus on her fingertips. The scratching on Liu Shuhan’s palm sent a tingling sensation down her heart through her veins, like an electric shock. Liu Shuhan remembered all the things Cheng Qiuyi’s hands had done. Her face flushed, and she forcefully pulled her hand back, regretting in annoyance that the leader of the rogues was indeed not to be provoked; she had lost both the battle and her composure.

Cheng Qiuyi loved to see Liu Shuhan blush. The fair, smooth skin of her cheeks would be tinted with a rosy blush, looking shy and alluring. Just looking at her was almost enough to lose control. Seeing that the red light had about ten seconds left, Cheng Qiuyi unbuckled her seat belt, leaned over and licked Liu Shuhan’s face, then quickly sat back up and fastened her seat belt. The entire action was completed in one fluid motion, perfectly timed with the traffic light change.

It wasn’t until the car had driven far away that Liu Shuhan realized she had been flirted with again. However, Liu Shuhan secretly touched the spot where Cheng Qiuyi had just been playful, the corners of her mouth curling up unconsciously. The person is already mine, so I’m the one who gains from her kisses! This is a profitable deal.

“Shuhan, if you keep smiling so licentiously, be careful, I might punish you right here in the car.” Cheng Qiuyi looked in the rearview mirror and said meaningfully.

“Go away! You’re just seeing licentiousness because you’re licentious!” The devil is always one step ahead of the priest. The small rogue was no match for the big rogue after all.

…

After shopping, they went home. Liu Shuhan looked around the kitchen and noticed something was wrong. “Weren’t our plates kept down here? Why are they up there now? And this knife, the order is wrong. Why are the bowls inside here?…”

Liu Shuhan was about to inspect further. Cheng Qiuyi quickly blocked her way. “Well… I cleaned up a bit today since I had nothing to do. Hurry up and cook. I’m starving…”

“I see…”

Liu Shuhan didn’t think too much of it. The two worked together to prepare the ingredients. They set up an induction cooker on the dining table, placed the ingredients on the side, and it looked quite professional.

After a lively hot pot meal and washing off the hot pot smell, Liu Shuhan sat at the table, looking troubled at the thick stack of papers. “Qiuyi…”

“Hmm?” Cheng Qiuyi was applying skincare products in front of the vanity mirror and glanced at Liu Shuhan through the mirror.

“I… can you come and help me look at these…”

Cheng Qiuyi smiled triumphantly in a place Liu Shuhan couldn’t see. She composed her expression and walked over to the desk. “What part don’t you understand?”

“I… I don’t understand any of it…” Liu Shuhan quickly got up to offer her seat, lowering her head in front of Cheng Qiuyi. Cheng Qiuyi had a strange illusion, as if Liu Shuhan hadn’t changed at all in ten years. She was still the same hardworking but not-so-smart high school student, only this time, the teacher was herself.

“Alright.” Cheng Qiuyi slapped her thigh and sat down, pulling Liu Shuhan onto her lap, embracing her. She put on her glasses and picked up the top sheet of paper, looking very serious, but her other hand quietly moved onto Liu Shuhan’s thigh.

Liu Shuhan was wearing loose pajamas. Cheng Qiuyi’s action almost lifted her pajamas entirely. They were doing proper business! Liu Shuhan awkwardly stopped Cheng Qiuyi from going further. “Qiuyi, stop messing around. These documents need to be submitted tomorrow morning.”

“I know.” Cheng Qiuyi’s hand bypassed Liu Shuhan’s block and continued moving toward her inner thigh. “I’m looking at them right now, aren’t I? Shuhan, staying up late to work is bad for your skin. You have to give me some kind of reward, right?”

“You look at them first. The reward… we’ll talk about it later.”

“That won’t do. What if you don’t keep your word? Wouldn’t I lose out?” Cheng Qiuyi put down the document and whispered in Liu Shuhan’s ear.

Liu Shuhan gritted her teeth. “When have you ever lost out in these matters? Are you helping or not? If not, forget it. I’ll do it myself.”

“Helping, helping! Why wouldn’t I help my own wife?” Cheng Qiuyi chuckled and picked up the paper again. “Shuhan, these documents are all quite similar. Once you understand one, the others will be roughly the same. How about this? I’ll teach you. If you learn it, I’ll give you a small reward. If you don’t learn it, then I’ll have to punish you properly. Deal?”

Liu Shuhan knew Cheng Qiuyi had ulterior motives, but Cheng Qiuyi was right. The road ahead was long. She couldn’t always rely on Cheng Qiuyi. “Fine, deal!”

Cheng Qiuyi was indeed honest, explaining everything seriously to Liu Shuhan. Liu Shuhan was listening intently at first, but after a few minutes, her mind drifted elsewhere.

Cheng Qiuyi looked very sexy when she was serious. The gold-rimmed glasses reflected the lamplight. Her narrow eyes were slightly lowered, her long eyelashes casting two fan-shaped shadows on her eyelids. Her thin lips opening and closing were an invitation to sin. Liu Shuhan was mesmerized, barely hearing what Cheng Qiuyi was rambling about.

“Alright, that’s the general idea. Did you understand?” Cheng Qiuyi asked.

Liu Shuhan snapped back to attention. “I… I understood.”

“Really? Then I’m going to test you.”
