Chapter 94 Xin Qings Diamond Mine (1/2)

Perplexed, Ailey stared at Xin Qing. ”What do you mean by that?”

From that alone Xin Qing could tell that Ailey was actually a good girl. Xin Qing wondered why Ailey's family had not nurtured her with the upbringing of a princess. Ailey did not possess the same kind of refined, elegant aura that Dianne had in spades. Still, Ailey was unlike the typical foreign women, who were far too casual with their sex lives as well as their interactions with men. That was why yesterday Xin Qing had warned Young Master Shen not to mess with Ailey.

”Yesterday, he went out with his girlfriend to have fun,” Xin Qing said. ”Pretty sure she'll get it if I put it that way,” Xin Qing thought.

”Girlfriend? He has a girlfriend?” The look on Ailey's face changed instantly.

Xin Qing glanced at her. ”It's a model he met yesterday,” she explained.

”Then she can't have been his girlfriend,” Ailey said, seemingly relieved.

”He changes women more frequently than he changes his clothes. It'll be over after he sleeps with them.” Xin Qing thought she might as well be forthcoming about things. Despite everything, Ailey was still Meyer's younger sister. Xin Qing did not want Ailey to get into trouble later because of Young Master Shen.

Ailey was just about to say something else when the doorbell rang. Xin Qing got up and opened the door. Young Master Shen had a playful look on his face as he walked in with a box of cake. ”Xiao Qingqing, this is a gift. I had to stand in queue for an hour just to buy this, you know!”

”Hey!” Young Master Shen noticed Ailey's presence. ”Who's this little beauty?”

He had obviously forgotten about the meeting with Ailey yesterday.

”You don't remember? We met just yesterday!” Ailey was a bit disappointed, though deep down, she secretly felt happy when he referred to her as ”little beauty”. She had no idea that ”little beauty” had always been Young Master Shen's moniker for women in general.

Young Master Shen looked towards Xin Qing. ”During the fashion show?”

”I don't know,” Xin Qing said in annoyance. ”Hurry up. Go take a shower and get changed.” The guy's collar still had lipstick stains on it, and his entire body smelled like perfume.

Ailey had obviously noticed those things too. She pouted and mumbled to herself, though her words were inarticulate. Young Master Shen gave two chuckles before heading upstairs for his shower.

”Xin Qing, I'm heading off first,” Ailey said, walking towards the door dejectedly. That surprised Xin Qing a little. She had been worrying that this girl would want to keep hanging around here. Shortly after Ailey's departure, Young Master Shen came down, feeling refreshed. He noticed Xin Qing's incessant staring.

”What? Finally realized that I'm more handsome than Ying Qingcang?”

Xin Qing glared at him. ”Didn't we agree never to mention him again?”

”Right, right, right. I forgot.” Young Master Shen picked up the bowl of soup that Xin Qing had been drinking. He finished it in one mouthful, smacking his lips in appreciation. ”I heard about the mining site you're visiting for the trip. It's Ying... ahem. It's yours?”

Xin Qing's mood instantly turned sour at Young Master Shen's mention of that particular issue. ”If I had known about it earlier, I would have requested for another site,” she said in annoyance.

”It's perfect this way!” Young Master Shen said, looking at her. ”Come on, think about it. Like it or not, that property is still yours, so this is the perfect opportunity for you to go have a look around. Also, this will help you gauge your own net worth.” Seeing that Xin Qing was about to come up with some kind of rebuttal, Young Master Shen raised a hand. ”Enough. Don't say things like the place isn't yours and whatnot. A gift is a gift. Do you really think it's possible for a gift to be returned once it had been given?”

Xin Qing said nothing, so Young Master Shen went on, ”I know what you're thinking. You're thinking of going there as a normal student of the academy. But you seem to have forgotten something. Even if low-level personnel are clueless, there's still the manager, who will no doubt recognize your name. At this point, I'm pretty sure the academy has already submitted the name list!”

”Ugh,” Xin Qing said, frowning. She had completely forgotten about that part.

”Then what should I do now? I won't be going alone, you know. I can't let the others know that I own the site.”

Young Master Shen released two chuckles. ”That's easy! Just call them and give them a heads up. Tell them not to disclose your identity.”

Xin Qing nodded and ran upstairs to retrieve the document containing the phone number. Surprisingly, when the call got through, the person on the line apologized to her, claiming that it was impossible to confirm that she really was Xin Qing due to the fact that President Ying himself had not notified them ahead of time. In other words, Xin Qing's words lacked credibility.

She hurried downstairs and asked Young Master Shen, ”Hey, this document isn't a fake, right?”

Young Master Shen took the document and looked it over. ”Well, I don't see any problems here! Why?”

”They didn't believe what I told them,” Xin Qing said, feeling a bit disgruntled. She plopped herself down on the couch. ”They said I'd have to wait until they verify my identity. By that time, won't my identity be known by everyone already? Seriously...”

A thought came to Young Master Shen's mind. ”Ah, then perhaps you should give a certain someone a call.”

Xin Qing shot him a glance. ”Can't you call them?”

”Pfft. I'm no more useful than you are in this case!” Young Master Shen said, stretching himself. ”It only works when the word comes from a certain someone.”

”Then you call him for me. Otherwise, I'll allow Ailey to come to look for you every day,” Xin Qing said threateningly.

”Huh? That Ailey? Nah, forget it. I have no energy to serve a big princess,” Young Master Shen said, pulling out his phone.

For the next few days, Young Master Shen stuck around Xin Qing. He did not even whine about wanting to go check out hot chicks. There were a few times when Xin Qing had asked him to go out and have fun, but he had come up with all sorts of excuse to remain by her side. This lasted for an entire week, all the way until the day of his departure.

When Xin Qing was sending him off at the airport, Young Master Shen lingered at the security gates, reluctant to leave. He was stammering and stumbling over his words.

”Just spit it out if you have something to say. You've been holding back for so many days. Won't you die from all that pent up stress?”
