Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Shen Xiushu took the phone and walked out of the study. After answering the call, the young man called him gently, "Ashu."

Shen Xiushu responded.

Jiang Xiyu raised her voice: "Ashu, Happy New Year."

Shen Xiushu paused, then glanced at the time on his phone; it was exactly midnight.

He didn't answer immediately, but it seemed as if some sound was clearly pulsating in his ears.

When Jiang Xiyu saw that he didn't reply on the phone, she wasn't sure if he had heard her, so she repeated herself very seriously and with emphasis: "Ashu, Happy New Year."

Shen Xiushu then snapped out of his daze, replied with a Happy New Year, and asked, "Have you gone back to the hospital?"

Jiang Xiyu glanced at her mother, who was trying on a new coat in the ward, then looked away and said softly, "I came back right after the performance. I figured it was about time, so I thought I'd come and give you my first New Year's greetings."

Shen Xiushu seemed quite satisfied and gave a satisfied "hmm".

Jiang Xiyu said, "I'll probably be joining another production team soon after the New Year."

Recalling the few months the young man had spent in Suzhou last time, Shen Xiushu frowned and asked, "How long?"

"About four or five months."

Shen Xiushu inexplicably disliked his job, but couldn't quite put his finger on why.

When he was quiet, Jiang Xiyu asked uncertainly, "A-Shu, are you still there?"

Shen Xiushu asked in a low voice, "Where should we film?"

Jiang Xiyu smiled slightly: "It's in Haishi."

Not far away, Shen Xiushu's displeasure dissipated almost imperceptibly.

"Can we meet one more time before we start filming?" Jiang Xiyu asked hopefully, "If you're free, Ashu."

Shen Xiushu suppressed the curve of his lips and said calmly, "Okay."

Jiang Xiyu smiled.

His tone on the phone sounded like he was laughing, but he himself didn't seem to be smiling at all.

I sculpted a small snowman on the windowsill.

He took a picture of Shen Xiushu with his phone and sent it to him.

Shen Xiushu received it and glanced at it.

The little snowman in the photo is adorable, and the hand holding it is clean and slender, but now it is red from the cold.

It's a little snowman that I built with a lot of care.

Jiang Xiyu asked him, "Isn't it cute? I'll give it to you, Ashu."

Shen Xiushu listened for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Xiyu saw him smile and was about to say goodbye when she heard another set of footsteps coming from the phone.

Because it was over the phone, it sounded very distorted.

It wasn't until Shen Xiushu politely wished him a Happy New Year that Jiang Xiyu realized the footsteps belonged to Shen Jingtan.

Shen Jingtan went downstairs to congratulate the old lady. When she saw Shen Xiushu still on the phone, her brows furrowed slightly, but her expression remained calm and composed.

Upon hearing Shen Xiushu's greeting, Shen Jingtan stopped in her tracks.

He glanced indifferently at the phone he was on a call with, and after a moment, replied in a flat tone, "Happy New Year."

In an instant, that gorgeous voice seemed to travel through the phone to my ears.

Upon hearing "Happy New Year," Jiang Xiyu subconsciously held her breath.

Jiang Xiyu felt a chill permeate her body, perhaps because the snowman in her palm was too cold.

But in an instant, that chill seemed to coalesce into other, indescribable feelings within me...

The air remained quiet for a long time.

Jiang Xiyu didn't come to her senses until the man's footsteps faded completely from the phone.

He asked Shen Xiushu a few questions, then waited for the other party to hang up.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang's mother came over and asked him if his new clothes looked good.

Jiang Xiyu put down the snowman, opened the glass door and went in, smiling as she said it looked nice.

……

The festive atmosphere of the New Year is very weak in big cities, almost non-existent. Therefore, during the New Year period, Shanghai is like a deserted city.

Once the city returns to its former prosperity and liveliness, it means that the New Year celebrations are over.

Soon, on the tenth day of the month, it was the day that Jiang Xiyu and Shen Xiushu had agreed to meet.

Because Jiang Xiyu was going to join the crew in two days, he put on the gift he had chosen for Shen Xiushu before going to the appointment early.

At that time, Shen Xiushu was being arranged by his mother to meet the daughter of the He Group.

Despite being born into a wealthy family, He Fuyue doesn't have the typical spoiled rich girl attitude. On the contrary, she is gentle, beautiful, and well-known in the industry for being liked by elders.

When Shen's mother first met her, she was also extremely fond of her.

Shen Xiushu, however, showed little interest and, aside from basic politeness, did not say much to her.

He Fuyue didn't mind that he was quiet. During the meal, she would occasionally steal glances at Shen Xiushu, but when she unexpectedly caught the man looking at her, she smiled shyly.

In reality, the meeting was just a formality; the elders of both sides already knew about each other's backgrounds.

The meeting was also to let them see if they were satisfied with her. If they were, then preparations for the engagement would begin.

He Fuyue knew this, and therefore, she secretly harbored a hint of expectation for the man who was about to become her fiancé, hoping that he would also be satisfied with her.

However, when she didn't receive the feedback she expected, He Fuyue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

She concealed her disappointment well, forcing herself to put on her sweetest smile and inviting Shen Xiushu to meet again.

Shen Xiushu hesitated for a moment, then remembered his mother's instructions, and ultimately did not refuse. However, he changed to a more tactful approach, saying in a low voice, "I'll be quite busy with company matters."

Seeing that he didn't refuse, He Fuyue immediately became happy and said, "It's okay, let's make an appointment again when you have time, shall we?"

She felt the other person was too polite and distant, so she wanted to take the initiative to get closer to them.

Shen Xiushu looked at her for a long while, then took a sip of wine as a sign of agreement.

He Fuyue couldn't stop smiling.

She was actually quite interested in this handsome man when she saw the photo that Shen's mother gave her.

Although the other person has a somewhat cold personality, that coldness only makes the man appear more noble.

He Fuyue's heart was beating a little fast. When she met Shen Xiushu's gaze, she panicked and accidentally knocked over her wine glass, instantly soaking her clothes with red wine.

She gasped softly, bit her lip, and, feeling a little embarrassed, made an excuse to go to the restroom.

Shen Xiushu nodded and glanced at his watch.

Ten minutes later, to everyone's surprise, Shen's mother arrived with He Fuyue.

Shen Xiushu looked on, somewhat puzzled as to why his mother was there.

But his doubts lasted only a moment before he lost interest in thinking about them, because he was about to miss the agreed-upon time with the young man.

He didn't want to waste any more time there, but Shen's mother called him back as he got up and asked where he was going.

Shen Xiushu made an excuse that there were company matters to attend to.

Upon hearing this, Shen's mother's expression darkened. She pulled He Fuyue to him and said, "Let's put company matters aside for today. Fuyue's clothes are dirty, so please take her home first."

Shen Xiushu lowered his eyes.

When the gaze fell on her, He Fuyue trembled and clung to Shen's mother's arm, saying coquettishly, "Auntie, it's okay. If he's busy, he can go ahead and do his work. I can go back by myself."

“How can that be?” Mother Shen gestured to Shen Xiushu with her eyes and said, “Let Xiushu take you back.”

Shen Xiushu suppressed the hidden anxiety in his heart.

He glanced at He Fuyue, then took the coat draped over the chair and handed it to her to cover herself.

He Fuyue took it in a daze, lowered her head and slowly walked to his side.

From a distance, the two looked like a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

And time, too, quietly slipped away, and the promise was broken.
