Chapter 21: tangled
Shen Xi didn't have much impression of what happened before, and Li Mingxuan didn't want to say more, and roughly told what happened in a few words.
Shen Xi listened quietly, her eyes inadvertently swept across Li Mingxuan's clothes that were crumpled due to sleep, thinking of the warm embrace in the dream, her brows were slightly wrinkled . This guess really made Shen Xi unhappy, but it was a fact that Li Mingxuan took care of herself. Shen Xi could only suppress the discomfort in her heart and smiled at Li Mingxuan, "Thank you cousin."
Shen Xi's smile fell in Li Mingxuan's eyes, and with the way he was lying there now, Li Mingxuan's eyes couldn't help but start to move down.
Realizing what he wanted to see, Li Mingxuan's body immediately stiffened, and then he pretended to be comfortable and pulled up the quilt on Shen Xi's body, covering Shen Xi tightly, only revealing brain outside.
Noticing Shen Xi's strange gaze, Li Mingxuan said naturally, "The doctor ordered to take more quilts to cover them and sweat."
There is nothing wrong with this sentence, Shen Xi can only show a grateful smile to Li Mingxuan again.
Li Mingxuan looked away with a little guilty conscience, and the doorbell rang at the right moment, "Hello, room service."
Heaving a long sigh of relief in his heart, Li Mingxuan almost rushed to the door impatiently. In addition to Li Mingxuan's long-awaited breakfast, a doctor with a medical kit appeared outside the door.
After a detailed examination, the doctor said that Shen Xi's fever has almost subsided, and she should continue to cultivate for a day and there should be no problem. Because Shen Xi is young and healthy, illnesses come and go quickly, and of course, thanks to the careful care of someone around her.
When it comes to taking good care of her, the doctor specially looked at Li Mingxuan, and Shen Xi could only follow the doctor's gaze to raise the corner of her mouth to Li Mingxuan again.
Since Shen Xi still had a little fever, the doctor reserved a day's worth of medicine for Shen Xi, and specially instructed Shen Xi to eat something before taking medicine, preferably porridge.
Just as the doctor left, Li Mingxuan brought over the porridge specially ordered for Shen Xi. Shen Xi was stunned, realizing that this was what Li Mingxuan had prepared for him before, and then looked at Li Mingxuan There was a little more sincere gratitude on his face.
Drinking porridge and taking medicine, Shen Xi lay on the bed without sleepiness. Seeing that Li Mingxuan had no intention of leaving, Shen Xi wondered, "Cousin, don't you need to go to the company?"
Li Mingxuan smiled, "Father knew about your illness, Xiaoxi, and gave me a day off to stay here to take care of you."
The father in Li Mingxuan's mouth is Shen Xi's uncle, a very serious man in Shen Xi's eyes. Shen Xi's only impression of him in his last life was that he had a very good relationship with his aunt, and the two could be called a rare loving couple in the circle. In the next life, Shen Xi asked Old K to help him investigate everyone related to the Shen family. His uncle, who was closely related to the Shen family, both publicly and privately, was naturally the focus of the investigation. Only after this investigation did Shen Xi realize how powerful this man was. Thinking of the intricate business interests of the Shen family and the Li family, Shen Xi lowered her eyes and did not look at Li Mingxuan again.
Maybe because of the drug, Shen Xi didn't feel sleepy at the last moment, but the next moment she fell asleep in a daze.
Li Mingxuan quietly looked at Shen Xi's sleeping face, covered his face and smiled bitterly.
Should he be glad that Shen Xi didn't notice his abnormality because of his illness?
Although he has been trying to forget the previous scene since the morning until now, his body's reaction can't deceive anyone at all.
He was reluctant to admit that he reacted to his blood cousin, which was completely beyond his expectations.
Even if he likes men, he must not like his relatives.
Maybe it's just because he's been single that he can't hold back his physical urges? Or is it just a man's instinct that doesn't mean anything?
Li Mingxuan thought tangled, the words taboo, disorder, and **** hit his mind, maybe he really should find a partner as soon as possible.
Sleeping Shen Xi didn't know about Li Mingxuan's messy thoughts, but only faintly felt that someone was watching him all the time, and moved his body uneasy. It wasn't until he heard Li Mingxuan's voice that Shen Xi calmed down and turned over and continued to sleep. The last thought in falling asleep seemed to be who Li Mingxuan had an argument with?
"You're crazy!" Li Mingxuan glanced at Shen Xi carefully, walked to the living room and said in a low voice.
"I'm not crazy!" Shen Ji gritted his teeth.
Li Mingxuan sighed, "I can understand that you don't want that nurse to appear in front of my uncle, but you can't find someone to detain her in private. Let's not say whether this is illegal or not, in case If your uncle found out or was exposed by a reporter, what would you do?"
Shen Ji's voice sounded irrational, "Then what do you think I should do? My father will bring her home! But after a few days, my father was so fascinated that he wanted to take her home."
Shen Ji repeated this sentence over and over again, obviously angry.
Li Mingxuan was also shocked by the news, "Uncle wants it?"
Although Li Mingxuan doesn't want to maliciously guess the thoughts of his elders, what is Father Shen's behavior really? Li Mingxuan can't help but guess that he won't have another young aunt, right?
Shen Ji guessed what Li Mingxuan was thinking, and said bitterly, "Father hasn't fainted to the end, he just brought it back in the name of private care."
Li Mingxuan fell silent, no matter what name his uncle used, as long as that nurse stepped into Shen's house, it was an insult to Shen's stepmother.
Perhaps the little girl who is not more serious will feel very affectionate when she hears Father Shen's behavior, but in Li Mingxuan's eyes, Father Shen's behavior is really absurd. Perhaps Father Shen would feel that he did this precisely because he loved Fang Yun, but he didn't know that his repeated search for a substitute was itself a betrayal of Fang Yun.
Li Mingxuan felt powerless about his uncle's behavior, but he still tried his best to dissuade Shen Ji. He can hold the nurse for a while, but he can't hold it for a lifetime. Instead of attacking the nurse, it's better to take Shen Cheng and his uncle and uncle Ci Zi to be filial, and maybe they can persuade the uncle to change his mind.
Shen Ji sneered, "Do you really think this is effective?"
Li Mingxuan paused and said, "In my uncle's heart, you and Xiao Cheng are always the most important." Shen Ji didn't say anything, after a long silence he smiled bitterly, "I used to always I firmly believe that Xiaocheng and I are the most important thing in my father's heart, so important that he can even give up Shen Xi for us and not admit Shen Rong, but now I suddenly don't dare to think so."
Shen Ji still had the last sentence in his heart that he didn't say. Maybe he was the most important thing in his father's heart.
Li Mingxuan sighed silently again.
In the end, Shen Ji was persuaded by Li Mingxuan to try again with Shen Cheng.
Unlike Shen Xi, Shen Ji and Shen Cheng grew up under the doting of Shen's father, and Shen Ji has too many good memories in his heart. He loves his father, takes care of his father, treats him obediently, and plays with him. With so many images of fathers overlapping together, Shen Ji really doesn't want to believe that his father will be between them and that woman. I chose that woman. Not to mention that the woman was nothing but a stand-in for his mother.
How Shen Jihui will do it, Li Mingxuan does not know. After hanging up Shen Ji's phone, Li Mingxuan called his mother directly, hoping that his mother could persuade his uncle.
Li Mingxuan's words made Shen Bixue worried, and the thing she was most worried about happened. Thinking of the last time she felt that Father Shen and the young nurse were too different in age, Father Shen should not have any thoughts, and Shen Bixue smiled wryly. Father Shen's mind must be stifled in the bud, if left alone, it will definitely become the biggest scandal in Zhongjing!
Hang up the phone again, Li Mingxuan walked back to the bedroom gently.
Shen Xi was still sleeping, hugging the quilt into a ball, unaware of what was happening outside.
Li Mingxuan couldn't help but think that the most indifferent person in the entire Shen family should be Shen Xi. Whether it is Shen Ji, Shen Cheng, or Shen Rong, who everyone refuses to admit, they are all hostile to the appearance of that nurse, but Shen Xi may be more happy to see it happen.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed, Li Mingxuan looked at Shen Xi in surprise.
After a while, Li Mingxuan shook his head, flashing the absurd thought out of his mind, and his face returned to the previous expression.
It is impossible for Shen Xi to do this. The manpower and financial resources needed to find such a similar person are beyond what Shen Xi can have. Shen Xi has been abroad all these years, and the former gang of friends and friends have never seen him again. Who else will help him? What's more, Shen Ji has been paying attention to Shen Xi for several years abroad. Perhaps Shen Xi's temperament has become more restrained as he grows older, but the habit of spending money has not changed, even because he was exiled abroad. A feeling of intensification.
Although the Shen family will give Shen Xi a large sum of money every month, but according to Shen Xi's expenses, there is absolutely not much left.
Thinking about this, Li Mingxuan felt a little guilt towards Shen Xi instead.
We all know what uncle has made Shen Xi look like, and Shen Xi has been making troubles abroad in recent years. Even though Shen Xi's temper became more restrained and seemed to be much calmer, the irritability in his bones was still faintly visible. This is also the reason why my uncle has always been relieved that he is abroad.
According to Shen Xi's character, he would never have imagined and would not be able to design his uncle through a woman. It is really inappropriate for him to doubt Shen Xi so maliciously.
