I Conquered the Villain Boss Chapter 56
Translated by Digitalian (ko-fi)
Chapter 56: Give You Everything
It's nothing important. It’s of no use to me.
The woman slowly walked down the stairs, and the flying snow hit her face, waking her up from the intense feeling of powerlessness.
This was the first time Si Xu expressed his attitude toward her.
Before Jiang Ranran appeared, Si Xu never expressed his opinions on her actions.
As long as her actions didn't cause him trouble, he had always had an indifferent attitude.
Knowing his character, she was smart enough to create opportunities for herself without annoying him.
Before Jiang Ran appeared, it had always been that way.
Now, that delicate balance had been disrupted by Jiang Ranran.
How could Si Xu tolerate a daughter of the Shen family by his side? She couldn't understand. She really couldn't understand.
"Just let her die." The woman stood in the wind and snow, looked up at the balcony on the third floor, and murmured, "Just let her disappear from this world..."
After Jiang Ranran disappeared, Si Xu would go back to the way he was before, the way that she liked.
Only she.
Only she was qualified to be by his side. No one but her would do.
……
After seeing Wei Yage off, Si Xu turned around and saw the girl leaning on the cabinet at the entrance hall, her head peeking out. Her hair was disheveled and she had a guarded look on her face, like a little lion guarding its food.
His T-shirt was a little loose on her body, and the arms and legs exposed were slender – she was still a little thin. If they acted recklessly like they did last night, he was worried that she would be hurt.
With that in mind, Si Xu walked up to her. Without saying a word, he leaned over, and carried her back to the room.
Jiang Ran shook her legs and struggled. "Si Xu, what time is it now?"
"It's almost twelve o'clock." After Si Xu put her on the bed, he pulled over the quilt and wrapped her into a ball. "Be careful, don’t catch a cold. You aren’t allowed to run around wearing like this in the future."
The person who came today was Wei Yage, a woman. If it had been Gu Yunqing or Chu Yuan... Si Xu pursed his lips, and looked down at her for a moment. While she looked at him in confusion, he leaned forward and kissed her.
Jiang Ran whined twice, clutched his clothes, and finally took a breath. "Si Xu, no more kissing."
With his forehead pressed against hers, he looked into her eyes, chuckled softly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why?"
"If you keep on kissing me, I can't help but want to pounce on you." His shadow was reflected in Jiang Ran's eyes. "If you like someone, you’ll want to be with that person all the time."
"Okay." Si Xu held the back of her neck with one hand, looked into her eyes, and said in a rare serious tone, "Jiang Ran, if you want something, just reach out for it."
In this world, nothing was destined to belong to someone. If you wanted it, you had to speak up and reach out for it.
"You tell me, and I'll know." He kissed her cheek gently. "Once I know, I'll give it to you."
The whisper turned into a murmur. "No matter what it is."
Jiang Ran realized that when a straightforward and serious guy whispered words of love, it was so flirtatious that her little heart skipped a beat and almost jumped out of her throat.
Blushing and heart pounding, she just wanted to give him everything she had. She wanted to hold him, coax him, let him do whatever he wanted, and make him happy.
Gu Yunqing said that a little girl liked to be coaxed. If you coaxed her more often, she would indulge you even if you did something excessive.
If you wanted something, just reach out for it –– Si Xu thought this way and put it into action. Of course, when necessary, he could also use some small tricks.
……
When Jiang Ran woke up again, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The snow outside the window had stopped, and the light in the room was a little dim.
After waking up, the girl stared at one spot with her almond-shaped eyes. Her eyes were unfocused and she was in a daze.
Si Xu wasn’t in the room. There was a warm hot water bottle placed under the quilt. Jiang Ran was holding the hot water bottle, feeling too lazy to get out of the quilt.
She yawned, rubbed her cheek against the pillow, and decided to sleep for another ten minutes.
In the living room, the sound of deliberately lowered voices floated into her ears. She closed her eyes and listened to the voices like listening to the radio before going to bed.
"Ranran is still resting?" It was Su Qin's voice. "Seventh Brother..." She hesitated, "I remember Yunqing told me that Ranran hasn't graduated from university yet, right?"
"Yeah." Judging from his tone, Si Xu was in a good mood, "Why?"
"Well..." Su Qin hesitated, "She’s a young girl, and an ordinary person who is relatively weak. Seventh Brother, you had better... be careful and don't go to excess..."
Si Xu fell into a long silence.
"It seems that you’ve been excessive." This time, an unfamiliar female voice was heard. Her tone was serious. "Seventh Brother, too much sex is harmful for health."
"Did you two," Si Xu said again, "look for me just to say these things?"
His tone was less happy than before.
"Not really." Su Qin quickly changed the subject. "The Shen family specially held a welcome party for Ranran tonight. We’ve all received invitations and came to find out the intention of the person concerned."
"Welcome party?" Si Xu didn't even think about it. "She’s not going."
"Seventh Brother, you’re going too far." The unfamiliar female voice sounded helpless. "In any case, Ranran is a member of our Shen family –– since it’s the Shen family’s welcome party, you should ask for her intention."
"Did the Shen family ask you to invite her, Shen Yao?"
"Yeah, Eldest Brother asked me to invite Ranran and you."
"Why doesn't Shen Yang come himself? If the Shen family really values her that much." Shen Yang was the eldest grandson. If he had come personally, it would best reflect Jiang Ran's importance to the Shen family.
"He doesn't dare to come." Shen Yao sounded even more helpless. "He's afraid of being beaten by you."
"Afraid of being beaten by me?" Si Xu smiled, half sarcastically. "She’s his important sister, and has fallen into the hands of his rival, me. Has Shen Yang never thought about what would happen to Jiang Ran?"
"... Seventh Brother, this kind of joke isn’t funny at all."
"I regard Jiang Yize as an enemy, and I’m at odds with your Shen family –– Jiang Ran is Jiang Yize's daughter, and a daughter of the Shen family." Si Xu smiled leisurely. "Isn’t the Shen family worried that if I get angry, I’ll break her neck?"
"Seventh Brother." There was a hint of anger in Shen Yao's voice. "Ranran is just a child. If you really don't care about her, you can return her to our Shen family."
"It seems that you don't understand what I mean." Si Xu saw the guests off directly. "I know about the welcome party now –– you may go back first. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll take Jiang Ran there."
Jiang Ran didn’t know if she was too sleepy, but after hearing that, she fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, the door to the room was pushed open. Jiang Ran reluctantly opened her eyes and saw the young man walking into the room.
She moved her lips, wanting to call his name.
Her throat was dry and she could make no sound.
Noticing the girl's mouth moving, Si Xu sat on the edge of the bed and brushed the hair from her cheek. "Would you like some water?"
Jiang Ran nodded with half-closed eyes.
He stood up and poured a glass of warm water. He patted the bulging quilt and said, "Drink the water."
While he was pouring the water, Jiang Ran woke up completely.
Her body was limp and she had no strength. She stretched out her arms. Before she could say anything, he already understood what she meant. He put one arm around her shoulders and carried her.
Holding the glass and drinking the water in small sips, Jiang Ran was revitalized. "Si Xu, I'm hungry."
She hadn't eaten anything since last night.
She felt so hungry.
It was all his fault. She originally wanted to go to the base in the afternoon to familiarize herself with the environment, but he came to seduce her, and the whole afternoon was wasted.
Beauty could cause trouble. Indeed, beauty could cause trouble.
