C71 Disillusionment

The crowd gradually dispersed. Shen Ye Ling straightened his tie and was about to leave happily with his hands in his pockets when he was suddenly stopped by a woman walking in front of him.

Qin Qing's feet had just been dealt with and it still hurt slightly. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her, she wouldn't have spoken kindly.

"Mr Shen, please wait."

Shen Yiling's gaze swept across Qin Qing from head to toe as a sneer appeared on her lips.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Miss Qin."

"Mister Shen, it's not too kind of you to do this."

"Let's talk."

In terms of looks, he did not look bad. His features were three-dimensional, his figure was tall, the atmosphere around him was gentle, and it was even easier for him to have a good impression of him. It was just that when he was smiling, there was an additional trace of viciousness and scheming, and he did not look like a good person.

Compared to Shen Yeyang's looks, she admired Shen Yeyan even more. There was an enchanting masculinity to her that made her want to conquer him.

Qin Qing followed Shen Ye An to the backstage. The man passed her another cheque, and she took it in surprise. The amount on it was even larger than before. She looked at it in puzzlement.

"What does Mister Shen mean by this?"

"I'll buy you a few questions. Tell me in detail."

"It's just a few simple questions?"

"Yes, it's that simple."

Although Qin Qing felt that Shen Ye Ling was not a good person, but when it came to the money on the tip of his tongue, he did not want it for free.

"Ask away."

Shen Ye Ling's eyes swept the surroundings and asked a few questions in succession. Qin Qing answered them all carefully, even describing the expressions on their faces.

Shen Yeling was extremely satisfied, and accidentally touched her head. Qin Qing felt goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't help but widen her eyes as her body stiffened.

He smiled and took her expression in his eyes. With a tone of unexpected gentleness, he said, "Miss Qin, don't be afraid. We have a happy cooperation."

When she saw him reach out his bony hand, she had no choice but to shake it. What kind of cooperation was this, it was just a scheme by him.

"Mister Shen, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first?"

"Yes."

Qin Qing couldn't wait to leave. Shen Ye Ling watched the woman's graceful figure quickly disappear into the corridor. He sneered as he took out a tissue and wiped his hands.

Since he was unable to find out about Shen Yeyan's illness from Qiao Xi, he could only step in by himself. Fortunately, his little brother continued to reject women.

Qiao Xi felt that he had slept for a very long time this time. When he woke up, his mind was even muddled. He thought that he had slept for a long time, but he found out that he was in the hospital.

Surprised, she immediately lifted the quilt and sat up, her gaze sweeping across the white walls and ceiling. She was still wearing her own clothes, and just as she was about to rush out of bed, the ward's door was suddenly pushed open.

Shen Ye An strode over and handed the water to her with a dark expression. Qiao Xi didn't accept it. His eyes were full of questions. "Why am I here?"

She remembered that she was just taking a nap at the venue and waiting for Shen Yeyan to finish his work and return home.

"Coma."

"Are you sure?"

Shen Ye An laughed. He walked to the opposite side of the bed with his long legs. He used his hands to support himself against the headboard and leaned slightly towards her. "I hope I'm mistaken too, Qiao Xi."

Seeing her wake up, the maliciousness in his eyes dissipated, and his heart started beating normally in his chest.

"What did you eat today?"

Qiao Xi was depressed. "What does my coma have to do with this?"

"Well, the doctor said you ate something you shouldn't have."

In the morning, she dined at the villa and ordered a series of dishes. At noon, she was at the company canteen, and she purposely had some stir-fried food that was very tasty.

Qiao Xi reported all the food he had eaten today. Shen Yeyan frowned deeply and said, "I'm sure there's nothing else."

"Well, I didn't eat anywhere else."

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something else. With a conflicted expression, she refused to speak. Shen Yeyan could tell that she was serious and asked, "What are you trying to hide?"

Qiao Xi immediately denied it. "I didn't plan to hide it from you. I just remembered that I drank a bottle of mineral water in your brother's car. At that time, I intentionally took a look and didn't open the bottle."

Due to the tense relationship between Shen Ye Ling and Shen Ye An, she had always kept an eye on Shen Ye Ling when she came into contact with him.

"I've already drank half of the water. The rest should be at the venue."

Shen Ye An immediately went out to make a phone call. However, he received news that the venue had been emptied and everything had been cleaned.

This move of Shen Ye Ling's wanted to see the relationship between him and Qiao Xi? Has it reached the point of accessibility?

He coldly hung up the phone and returned to the ward. Qiao Xi had already got off the bed and tidied up his clothes. He glanced at him and said, "Mr. Shen, we can go now."

"I'll stay at the hospital for observation tonight."

"But I'm fine. Let's go."

There was a smile in her eyes. It was as if a warm wind had brushed across her chest. She felt a tingling sensation, but her eyes revealed a hint of insistence. Shen Yeyan did not refuse and left with her.

His expression was solemn and cold. Today, Shen Ye Ling had schemed against him time and time again. It seems that his temper has been too good recently.

Qiao Xi silently sat beside the door as her guard against Shen Ye Ling rose.

Last night, Qiao Xi tossed and turned, and did not sleep well.

It suddenly rained in the latter half of the night, the sound of thunder clattering against the window. With the occasional lightning bolt, she was completely awake, so she simply sat up and read for a while before falling asleep in the early hours of the morning.

When he woke up in the morning, the weather outside was gloomy. Yesterday, the sun was shining brightly, but today, the sky had suddenly changed. The weather in the imperial city was becoming more and more unfathomable to women.

When Qiao Xi went out, he intentionally took a glance at the room across the street. A servant coincidentally walked out with a little blue cat growing up in his arms. She easily took it from him.

"Where's Mister Shen?"

"I'm downstairs, and I don't seem to be in a good mood."

Qiao Xi had a good relationship with the little maid and would often try to guess Mister Shen's mood. She smiled and went downstairs, only to find that Shen Yeyan had hugged the other little guy on his lap and was even amiably feeding it ham sausages.

Qiao Xi was surprised that he had changed so much, so she didn't poke holes in his words and just silently sat down.

Shen Yeyan raised his head and glanced at her. He then placed the bag on the chair in front of her and said, "I brought you a small gift when I came back from a business trip."

Qiao Xi looked at the English words on the bag. They were probably cosmetics. They wouldn't be too expensive.

"Thank you, Mister Shen."

"Hmm, didn't sleep last night?"

"Average."

She couldn't hide her green eyes from him, and there was a hint of weariness on her face. Shen Yeyan put the kitten aside and said, "You don't have to go to the company today. I have other arrangements."

While eating breakfast, he watched the news for the day. Usually, she didn't pay much attention to the entertainment circle, but the news that came out this morning forced her to point it out because it was related to Shen Yeyan.

She carefully read the words, and even zoomed in to read every single one of the pictures on it. Only then did she put down her phone and joyfully ask: "Mister Shen, you and Miss Qin Qing were in a relationship?"

There seemed to be a bit of anticipation in her eyes. Her clear black and white eyes sparkled. When Shen Yeyan saw this, he laughed coldly. He raised his hand and slammed the cup down. Milk splashed onto the table and the atmosphere froze.

"You seem very happy?" he asked grimly.

Qiao Xi openly admitted it. "No, if it's true, I wish you well."

Shen Ye An was angered to the point of wanting to flip the table over. His hand was tightly pressed on the edge of the table.

"Qiao Xi, stop your rich imagination. If I want to have a relationship with a woman, then it wouldn't be her."

"Who is that?"

She opened her eyes wide and asked straightforwardly. She saw that he suddenly pursed his lips, as if he had swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
