Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 748 The Old-fashioned and Reserved General vs. The Amnesiac Seducer (13)

Ning Shitang indeed didn't come back all night.

Shen Shuyi naturally didn't have insomnia; she fell asleep as soon as Ning Shitang left.

I went out early the next morning, having heard that the autumn colors and forests of Hongye Mountain were very beautiful.

Seeing her leave, the butler quickly ordered a guard to follow her. "Miss Shen, are you going out for some fun?"

Shen Shuyi stopped in her tracks. "No need. I'll just take a walk around here. I'm perfectly fine on my own."

The butler frowned, fearing something might happen to her, and if the warlord blamed them, no one would get away with it.

“Miss Shen, at least tell me where you’re going. I’ll have someone come and pick you up when it’s time to eat.”

"I want to go see the maple leaves at Hongye Mountain nearby, and come back when I get tired."

"Don't follow me, I'm fine on my own."

The steward breathed a sigh of relief. Red Leaf Mountain was the back mountain of the manor, and it was still the Wu family's mountain, used to entertain guests. Unauthorized people were not allowed to enter.

There were no outsiders, no wild beasts in the mountains, the path was not steep and easy to walk, and there were many pavilions and towers built in the mountains for sightseeing, making it a suitable place for sightseeing, so I felt much more at ease.

After Shen Shuyi finished speaking, she went out and walked up the mountain. The autumn colors in the mountains were the most vibrant, with pavilions and towers set against the backdrop of maple leaves as red as the sunset, creating a scene as beautiful as an oil painting.

Looking at the red leaves covering the mountains and fields, rustling in the autumn wind, Shen Shuyi felt a sense of relief and joy.

The system transformed into a little white cat and landed on her shoulder: Host, it's going to rain heavily in half an hour, aren't you going down the mountain?

Shen Shuyi strolled under the red maple tree, thinking, "I'm not the one who should be anxious."

According to the plan, Ning Shitang will be returning to Ningzhou City soon, and she intends to win him over in the next few days.
So, this rain might just be a timely rain.

When Ning Shitang woke up in the morning, he didn't see Shen Shuyi when he went to breakfast, and assumed that she was still asleep.

He went to the back garden to practice shooting for a while, and suddenly noticed that dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and it was about to rain.

As the autumn rain brought a chill, the wind grew stronger, and he saw the steward hurrying over.

"what happened?"

Uncle Wu looked anxious. "General, Miss Shen went to the back mountain to admire the autumn leaves but hasn't returned yet. It looks like it's going to rain heavily. I'm about to send someone to fetch Miss Shen."

Ning Shitang frowned upon hearing this, "How long has she been gone?"

"Miss Shen had breakfast and left home early this morning."

Ning Shitang frowned deeply. "She went out without anyone with her?!"

"Miss Shen said she doesn't like others following her."

Without saying a word, Ning Shitang immediately went to the stable, untied a horse, mounted it, and galloped straight up the mountain.

When he rode his horse up the mountain, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and even purple lightning streaked across the sky. The fiery red maple leaves were whipped about by the strong wind.

Ning Shitang spurred his horse and galloped through the mountains, soon arriving at the best spot for viewing the autumn leaves.

Just then, it started to rain, and raindrops fell on his face.

Ning Shitang grew increasingly anxious, and he couldn't help but call out Shen Shuyi's name loudly.

"The meaning of the book!"

"Shuyi, where are you?!"

The horse beneath him seemed to sense its master's urgency and neighed.

Ning Shitang finally saw the figure in the rain in the mountains, dressed in a moon-white cheongsam, as fresh and beautiful as a fairy flower.

His chest was pounding violently, surrounded by the scent of grass, rain, and earth.

Ning Shitang held his breath, spurred his horse to her side, dismounted, and landed in front of her.

"The meaning of the book!"

Shen Shuyi originally intended to seek shelter from the rain in the pavilion, but she didn't expect the rain to start falling after she had only taken a few steps.

When she saw Ning Shitang, surprise flashed in her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"Get on the horse, I'll take you back." Ning Shitang wiped the rain off his face.

Shen Shuyi continued walking towards the pavilion; it was only a few steps away. "Do you think it's suitable to go down the mountain now, with this heavy rain?"

"I'll wait in the pavilion until the rain stops before I leave."

Ning Shitang led his horse and followed, tying it to a pillar in the pavilion before walking to Shen Shuyi's side.

Shen Shuyi glanced at him indifferently, then stood in the pavilion watching the rain patter against the maple forest outside. Ning Shitang felt uneasy; the rain was getting heavier, and splashes of water soaked both of their clothes.

"Shuyi, are you alright?" Ning Shitang asked, noticing that she was some distance away. He added, "Come in a little, the rain is getting in."

This little pavilion is quite small; you can only find shelter from the wind and rain by standing in the very center.

Shen Shuyi's clothes were soaked, and the rain blew in at an angle, making her feel cold and causing her to shiver.

"No need, it's already wet anyway."

Before she could finish speaking, Ning Shitang grabbed her and pulled her close, saying, "Stop fooling around."

Shen Shuyi shook off his hand, "Anyway, in your eyes, everything I do is nonsense."

"Then why did you come to pick me up?"

Ning Shitang was holding back his anger. He could smell the gunpowder in her breath and knew that she was still angry about what happened that night.

Could he say that he came specifically because he was worried about her?

He also wanted to pull the sulking little girl into his arms.

But he made the most rational decision, silently watching everything outside the pavilion.

The two stood side by side in the small pavilion, surrounded only by the sounds of rain and wind ravaging the maple forest.

Shen Shuyi was only wearing a thin, moon-white cheongsam today. Although she was climbing a mountain, the mountain path was very flat, so she could move freely even in a cheongsam.

Unfortunately, the cheongsam was thin and clung tightly to her body after being soaked by the rain, revealing her graceful curves.

Even the outline of her front was particularly clear, and she subconsciously raised her hands to hug herself in front of it.

They are now trapped by this sudden autumn rain.

The increasingly cold autumn wind blew against her skin, and Shen Shuyi couldn't help but sneeze.

Without saying a word, Ning Shitang took off his shirt and draped it over her shoulders. Shen Shuyi bit her lip and snorted, "I don't want it. Aren't your clothes wet too?"

Seeing her look up and glare at him, Ning Shitang smiled.

"Hmph, what are you laughing at?" Shen Shuyi had never seen him laugh so mischievously.

"Shuyi," Ning Shitang tentatively began, "Let's stop arguing, okay?"

"No way! Since you don't like me, let's get a divorce!" Shen Shuyi ripped off his shirt and threw it at him.

Ning Shitang saw that her face was pale from the wind, as if she had been frozen.

He didn't care about anything else, took a step forward and pulled her into his arms, warming her with his burning chest.

Shen Shuyi remained motionless, her small hands tightly curled up in his arms.

Ning Shitang gently stroked her back, "Shuyi, it's all my fault."

"We will not get a divorce."

Shen Shuyi's trembling breath echoed in his chest. Ning Shitang only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her curled-up hands loosen slightly.

"You get to decide everything?" Her voice was trembling with tears.

"You said you wouldn't get a divorce, but you kept pushing me away."

Ning Shitang felt a pang of heartache; all those chaotic fantasies and inexplicable desires surged into his mind.

"Shuyi, I'm just afraid you'll regret it after you regain your memories."

Shen Shuyi interrupted him, "I'm only asking you, do you like me?"

Ning Shitang felt his blood boiling. He hugged her tighter, lowered his head, pressed his face against hers, and said in a hoarse voice:
"like."

"The meaning of the book".

Hearing him call her name, Shen Shuyi felt a little nervous.

Then I heard him say in a suppressed voice, "If I don't like you, why do I feel like I'm fighting every night?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist taking you to bed and teasing you."

Shen Shuyi's ears burned. "You're talking nonsense!"
