Chapter 27: Etiquette Training Begins

“Me? Me?” Shen Anyue was quite confident in her knowledge of etiquette.

Having been well-bred since childhood, she was already extremely familiar with it.

In the past, Shen Anyue had been taught by nannies, and gradually, through osmosis, she learned that certain actions had to be taught hands-on.

But just thinking about the scene of her correcting her sister from behind made her blood rush and her breath unsteady.

“Anyue, why is your face so red?” Cheng Yiyi was sitting with Shen Anyue, and across from them naturally sat Shen Jingchen.

Right in front of her brother, Cheng Yiyi unhesitatingly used her hands to cup Shen Anyue’s face.

Then she turned slightly and brought her mouth… no, not her mouth, her forehead gently against Shen Anyue’s.

The slight coolness of her fingertips landing on her face stirred an indescribable emotion in Shen Anyue.

Cheng Yiyi moved half an inch closer, and their foreheads lightly touched.

Shen Anyue didn’t know what was running through her mind; her whole body froze in place, yet she found no trace of resistance at all.

“No fever,” Cheng Yiyi said.

Cheng Yiyi thought Shen Anyue’s forehead wasn’t hot, but her palm could clearly feel that her face was abnormally warm and flushed.

“Is the air conditioning in this private room set too high?”

“I just ate something spicy!” Shen Anyue quickly grabbed Cheng Yiyi’s hand and moved it away. “In a moment… in a moment it’ll be fine.”

“That’s good.” Cheng Yiyi’s voice was gentle, clearly treating Shen Anyue like a little sister in all sincerity.

“I thought you were too tired this afternoon, sweaty, and then suddenly walked into a cold air-conditioned environment, so your body couldn’t adapt.”

“Yiyi, you don’t need to worry about Anyue. Although her body can’t withstand too much strain, her resistance is fine.” Shen Jingchen had watched the whole process.

He couldn’t help but feel envious, thinking how nice it was for girls to interact like this.

Even watching their faces gradually draw closer, a flicker of anxiety and impulse passed through Shen Jingchen’s heart…

He didn’t know what he was thinking, anyway…

“Sss-!”

Shen Jingchen shook his head belatedly and continued, “Then Anyue, you properly teach Yiyi these days. Don’t limit the setting to the villa at home; go out and take walks more often.”

“It will also help you fix that habit of staying indoors all the time.”

“Don’t keep cooping yourself up in your room. The world outside is big.”

“But I have to mention this to you: don’t enter places like bars. They’re full of mixed company.”

“Most of the people there are bad, and with alcohol clouding their minds, no one knows what outrageous acts they might commit.”

“As for karaoke bars, dance halls… it’s best not to go either.”

“If you really want to see such places where they dance and sing, you must tell me first, understand?”

“I’ll arrange bodyguards for you.”

“Safety is always the top priority when you’re out.”

The bodyguards Shen Jingchen mentioned were not ordinary security personnel, but specially trained martial artists.

They were the type who could truly take on ten people at once.

As for internet cafes, Shen Jingchen didn’t emphasize them.

How many villains could be in an internet cafe?

They were just there to play games; at worst, they had bad habits like smoking and drinking.

Once their eyes were locked on the computer screen, they probably wouldn’t even notice if someone walked past naked.

Plus, internet cafes in the capital had surveillance with no blind spots and sufficient security, so Shen Anyue and Cheng Yiyi could play games inside without any chance of being harassed.

After lunch, Shen Jingchen drove the two young ladies back to the Shen family villa.

On the way, he asked Cheng Yiyi if she had money, but upon hearing that Shen Xingyao had given her a card, he felt at ease.

He knew his third brother’s financial strength well.

Even if she splurged recklessly in the capital, the money on the card would probably last her half a lifetime.

After the meal, unable to control her curiosity, Cheng Yiyi pulled the bill over for a look, then showed a puzzled expression: “This phone number…?”

Shen Jingchen: “Our bill.”

In the end, Shen Jingchen paid.

Though shuffling money from left hand to right hand seemed pointless, the Shen family’s businesses followed the law, and every income had to withstand scrutiny.

Back home, Shen Jingchen rested for a night in his room and left very early the next morning.

He wasn’t just the president of the Huaqing Student Union; he was also the chairman of the National Student Federation.

Although he didn’t enjoy administrative treatment, Shen Jingchen also carried the identity of a young master of the Shen family. Combined, it was quite intimidating!

He frequently appeared in news media, and besides that, he had to learn business knowledge from his elder brother Shen Yanci.

After all, the Shen family had vast business interests. If all that were left in Shen Yanci’s hands alone, he would be very tired.

And that kid Shen Xingyao was unreliable, spending his days free-spirited, fond of tinkering with the internet, without the slightest intention of inheriting the family estate.

As for Shen Anyue and Cheng Yiyi?

If they wanted it someday, they could have it.

Anyway, the atmosphere in the Shen family was excellent; no one was greedy for money. To take more assets, one would have to put in more effort to manage them.

The elder brother and second brother would be more than happy for them to take charge of more assets to share the burden.

It would be best if they took everything! Then Shen Jingchen and Shen Yanci wouldn’t have to manage anything, their money would already be enough to last a lifetime, and they could retire decades earlier and enjoy a comfortable life.

Ah, the troubles of the rich are truly so different.

But getting back to the present, the most important thing now was to teach Yiyi all kinds of etiquette.

From behavior and demeanor to makeup and complexion, even clothing and grooming, all had to be taught well.

To that end, Shen Anyue gave up the computer that night and went to bed early, forcibly syncing her biological clock with Cheng Yiyi’s!

When she woke up in the morning, she was hugging her pillow, a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.

“Why doesn’t this feel as comfortable as when I held it last night?”

She picked up her phone to check the time; it was only a little past seven in the morning. She opened the door and happened to hear Su Xiaoyu’s voice.

So she craned her neck to look down the corridor.

“Miss, time to get up”

Su Xiaoyu’s voice was pleasant, soft and sticky, giving one a feeling of being extremely easy to bully yet gentle and kind.

She lightly knocked on Cheng Yiyi’s door a few times, then stood at the entrance waiting for a response.

“Coming!” The door was pulled open, and Cheng Yiyi appeared in pajamas, revealing her straight and slender legs.

Her lines were clean and firm, her fair skin setting off her delicate ankles, flawless and perfect, like a work of art.

“Miss Cheng, your breakfast is ready. Would you like me to bring it to your room?”

“No, I haven’t tidied up my room yet. I’m afraid of making a mess, so I’ll eat in the living room instead.”

“Okay.”

Su Xiaoyu turned around and unexpectedly found that Shen Anyue was already up. She was neatly dressed, even quite formally.

“Miss…” Su Xiaoyu didn’t understand why Shen Anyue would wear such an elegant outfit at home. “Are you going out today to do something?”

“Can I be of help?”

There had been few people in the Shen family recently, no guests, and the only work was cleaning up and down the place.

So Su Xiaoyu actually had a lot of free time all day. If Shen Anyue needed to go out, she would love to tag along.

She could use the excuse of accompanying the miss to go out and have fun openly!

“No.” Shen Anyue shook her head. “I’m going to…”

(An explanation…)

“Teaching etiquette?” After understanding, Su Xiaoyu separated her hands that had been folded at her chest, gently lifted her maid’s skirt, and crossed her feet slightly. “In that case, I’ll leave you alone.”

Su Xiaoyu really couldn’t help in this area; she had learned maid etiquette, which didn’t apply to the young ladies of the Shen family.

“I wish you two misses a pleasant day out.”
