Chapter 172: A Familiar Smell

After the treatment process ended, it was already four in the afternoon. Yan Xi smelled the fragrance of roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes coming from outside the window.

The golden autumn sun and dusk made these two smells even stronger, arousing Yan Xi’s appetite.

“Should we go out and take a look?”

Gu Shen nodded.

Outside the Rehabilitation Center was a commercial street. At this moment, there was not much traffic. The leaves of the parasol trees by the street rustled and fell, covering the pavement.

When they walked over, they could still hear the crisp sound of leaves being crushed.

Yan Xi pushed Gu Shen to the stall selling roasted sweet potatoes and said casually, “There’s actually a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes here. Gu Shen, do you want some?”

Gu Shen smiled. “If you want to eat it, go buy it.” When she came out of the Rehabilitation Center, she had been staring at this roasted sweet potato and thought that Gu Shen didn’t notice it.

Yan Xi parked the wheelchair by the roadside and skipped to the stall where the sweet potatoes were roasted. After buying the sweet potatoes, she glanced back and saw that Gu Shen was busy making a call, so she went to the side to buy a bag of roasted chestnuts.

Gu Shen was contacting his lawyer.

The lawyer said respectfully, “Mr. Gu, you have received the shares. However, according to our country’s laws, you will have to wait for three months before you can transfer the shares to somewhere else.”

“Got it.”

Gu Ling had already become an outcast. She was insulted by Old Master Gu and even humiliated by her husband in public. She had become a laughing stock in the circle.

She even wanted to spend a lot of money to take back the shares that she had transferred, but how could she take back what was in Gu Shen’s hands so easily?

These shares could be given to Yan Xi. If she wanted the shares of the Gu Corporation, he would satisfy her. Whatever she wanted, Gu Shen would give it to her.

Thinking of Yan Xi’s surprised and happy expression, Gu Shen’s lips curled up.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Shen saw that Yan Xi had already run to the chestnut stall with a happy smile on her face.

Gu Shen thought that Yan Xi would come back after buying the chestnut, but then she ran to the milk tea shop next door and came out with a cup of milk tea.

She stuffed all the food she bought into Gu Shen’s arms.

Gu Shen lowered his head and raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you say that you would buy sweet potatoes?”

“I don’t come out that much, so of course I have to use this opportunity to buy everything.” Yan Xi said matter of factly. She took a sip of milk tea. “Try it. I think this roasted sweet potato smells very good.”

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes. “Where’s mine?”

“What’s that?”

“Milk tea.”

Yan Xi took another sip of milk tea and looked at him innocently. “I thought you didn’t like to drink these things.”

Gu Shen did not say anything and just stared at the milk tea. Yan Xi moved her fingers and reluctantly gave the milk tea to him.

“Then you can take a sip of mine, but not too much.”

“Stingy.” Gu Shen leaned forward and took a sip of milk tea from her straw.

It was too sweet, but he still drank quite a bit.

Sure enough, when he looked up again, he saw Yan Xi pouting, looking angry but not daring to say anything.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Shen asked deliberately.

“You drank too much.” Yan Xi snorted and hugged the remaining milk tea.

After drinking the milk tea, Yan Xi’s mood improved. She sat on the bench, peeled a chestnut, and brought it to Gu Shen’s mouth.

“Try it. It’s especially delicious. The uncle selling chestnuts is very nice.”

Gu Shen’s tone was a little calm. “Everyone will be nice to you when they see the smile on your face.”

“Then I’ll smile at you every day, but I don’t see you being nice to me.”

Gu Shen choked. He was about to give the Gu Corporation to her, but she still felt that he wasn’t being nice.

But I can’t talk about that yet, thought Gu Shen.

“You think you can buy me off with a smile?”

A question mark appeared on Yan Xi’s face. She snatched the chestnut over. “I’m not giving you any of these!”
