Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 712 The Young Master of the Underworld and the Scheming Mermaid 12

Early the next morning, after Shen Xi woke up, the first thing he did was to order someone to change the water in the swimming pool.

The subordinate asked in confusion: "Master... are you saying to replace the water in the swimming pool with sea water?"

Shen Xi sat leisurely on a white lounge chair by the swimming pool, holding a transparent water cup in his hand. He frowned slightly and asked, "Did I not make it clear enough?"

When the man saw Shen Xi's expression change, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll do it right away."

After more than two hours of busy work, the water in the swimming pool was finally completely changed.

When everyone left, only Shen Xi and Yan Li were left in the villa.

Shen Xi slowly stood up, went to the bathroom, and said to Yan Li: "I'll find you a bigger place."

Just like that, Yanli moved from the bathtub to the spacious swimming pool. The swimming pool was large, and Yanli had no problem swimming around in it.

Yan Li half-lay by the swimming pool, looking at Shen Xi who was standing not far away, his eyes full of doubts, and asked: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Shen Xi took a step, walked slowly towards him, and answered calmly: "Mermaids are indeed a rare species. I do find it strange. But I am not afraid."

Yan Li then asked, "Then why did you save me?" The real reason was stuck in Shen Xi's throat, and he couldn't say it out loud. He replied lightly, "I just found it interesting."

Yan Li was a little confused about the Shen Xi in front of him, but his intuition told him that Shen Xi would never save him just for this.

"Then could you please not tell anyone my identity?"

Yan Li stared at Shen Xi with his big watery eyes, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Shen Xi folded his hands across his chest, looking at the swimming pool with interest, and found Yan Li's words a little funny.

He squatted down, gently lifted Yan Li's chin with his hand, and said with a hint of joking in his eyes: "Of course, but what good will this do me?"

Yan Li looked at Shen Xi, whose personality was completely opposite to his memory, and was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the favorability reminder sound rang.

"Congratulations to the host for increasing the favorability of the main character of the main story by 15%. It is currently 35%. I hope you will keep up the good work."

However, before Yan Li could answer, the cell phone in Shen Xi's pocket rang at an inopportune time.

Shen Xi was a little unhappy that his good thing was interrupted. He wanted to take out his mobile phone and hang up the call, but when he saw the word "Grandpa" on the call notification, he resisted the idea.

He picked up the phone and walked back to the room. "Grandpa, what's the matter?"

"Today is the birthday of the child born to Zhao Yingying. You have to show up."

Shen Xi looked at Yan Li outside the window through the glass and answered nonchalantly, "It's not necessary for me to show up. Besides, if I go, it will only cause trouble for the three of them. It's better not to go than to make all four of them unhappy."

Shen Zuyun didn't seem to expect him to say that, but he was indeed amused by his statement.

"Well, you know, he's your brother in name. If you don't go, people will gossip about it. Just go and do it as a favor to grandpa."

Shen Zuyun has already said so much, it would be unlikely for Shen Xi to refuse.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xi stood at the door and talked to Yan Li. "I have to go out for something and will be back in the evening."

After Yan Li nodded, Shen Xi took a step and left the place.

Shen Xi had not originally planned to attend Shen Shu's birthday party, and now that he had decided on a whim, he would not go to great lengths to dress up.

I just went there wearing ordinary clothes. Just like what Shen Zuyun said, it was just a formality.

At the banquet, Shen Xi was absent-minded, thinking about Yan Li at home. Time passed slowly, and finally at around seven o'clock in the evening, Shen Xi was able to leave the banquet.

After leaving the party, Shen Xi rushed back home without stopping. As soon as he got home, Shen Xi came to the outdoor swimming pool on the rooftop. "I'm back."

Yan Li, who was under the water, popped his head out after hearing his voice.

Yan Li popped his head out, his light golden hair sticking wetly to his cheeks, sparkling with a mysterious luster under the moonlight.

His eyes were sparkling, as if they contained a sea of ​​stars. His eyes showed relief after seeing Shen Xi, but also a hint of curiosity.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was hesitant. Drops of water slid down his face and dripped into the swimming pool, causing slight ripples.

"What did you not finish saying today? Are you trying to negotiate some terms with me?"
