My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 528: Speaking Up For Shen Siyuan
Shen Siyuan stood in place for a long while, unable to gather her wits, until the butler called out to her, “Miss Shen, are you alright?”

It was then that Shen Siyuan managed to recover herself, clenching her hands tightly, forcing her complexion to not look so awful, “I’m fine.”

“That’s good to hear, I noticed your complexion didn’t look very good…”

Shen Siyuan shook her head, unable to force a smile, her eyes still reddened as she spoke to him, “I have some other matters too, please give this to Mrs. Lin for me. Just say it’s a small token of respect from a junior, and tell her not to be too polite with me.”

“This…” The butler, who hadn’t asked Lin Zhiya before letting her in, which had already upset Lin Zhiya, was a bit hesitant to accept the box she handed over, “Mrs. Lin is in the kitchen, why don’t you give it to her in person? She would be happier.”

Shen Siyuan wanted to say that if she personally brought it over now, Lin Zhiya might not be happy. But she couldn’t very well say such things outright, so with reddened eyes, she insisted on placing the gift into the butler’s hands, “I won’t disturb Mrs. Lin by going in, please give it to her for me. It’s just a little gift.”

She forcefully placed the item into the butler’s hands—before he had a chance to refuse, she barely held back her tears and said, “I’m feeling a bit unwell, could you please tell Mrs. Lin for me later? I will head back first and visit her another day.”

The old butler was no fool; he could see whether her ‘feeling unwell’ was real or not just by looking at her troubled expression. He sighed helplessly in his heart and took the box, “Alright, I will pass the gift to Mrs. Lin for you; don’t worry.”

In fact, he preferred Mr. Cui ended up with Miss Shen over Miss Rong who he brought home.

After all, Miss Shen was someone they watched grow up since she was a child, and her family background, appearance, and personality were all more suitable for Mr. Cui.

Ah, what was on Mrs. Lin’s mind?

Why would she neglect Miss Shen for an eighteenth-tier actress?

He truly could not understand, watching as Shen Siyuan left the villa with reddened eyes.

Shortly after, Lin Zhiya came out laughing and talking with Rong Yan, bringing out some fruit tea, and, noticing the living room was empty, she subconsciously asked, “Eh, where did Jiangjing and the others go? How come they’re all gone?”

“Mr. Cui had to leave suddenly due to an urgent matter.” After the butler respectfully replied, he glanced at Rong Yan, then lowered his head and added, “Miss Shen wasn’t feeling well and asked me to tell you that she left first.”

“Oh.” Lin Zhiya didn’t have much of an issue with Shen Siyuan, but indeed, today she did not want Shen Siyuan to stay any longer, “It’s just as well that she left.”

Remembering the item in his hand, the old butler stepped forward and offered the box to her, “Mrs. Lin, this is the gift Miss Shen asked me to give to you.”

Lin Zhiya looked at the velvet box handed to her with surprise, lifting her gaze towards him, saying, “Didn’t I say that if it was too expensive she shouldn’t be polite with me?”

The butler couldn’t help but speak up on behalf of Shen Siyuan, “Mrs. Lin, this is also a token of Miss Shen’s heart. Besides, the value of a gift doesn’t lie in its expensiveness. Neither you nor Miss Shen are the sort of people who care about the price of a gift. Perhaps Miss Shen thought it was pretty and suited you, that’s why she bought it. If you don’t accept it, Miss Shen will be saddened.”

Having worked in the Li Family for twenty years, Lin Zhiya didn’t want to reprimand the butler in front of Rong Yan, but today he repeatedly disappointed her.
