His strength was so fierce that Qin Xuelan staggered back a step. Had it not been for her friends beside her to support her, she would have surely fallen.
"Si Ye, you treated me like this for her?" Qin Xuelan straightened her body, looking at him with a flushed face.
She was his aunt, and he could actually use force against her for an outsider woman.
Qin Si Ye gazed at her with cold eyes, "You were the one who made the mistake first. Qin family matters have nothing to do with her. You'd better not bother her in the future."
"Have you fallen for her?" Qin Xuelan, furious, pointed at Shen Xi with slightly reddened eyes.
Qin Si Ye immediately reached out and pulled Shen Xi behind him, "So what if I have?"
"I finally understand why she resolutely refused Chen Yu's pursuit at the dinner table back then. It turns out you two have been involved long ago." Qin Xuelan's eyes widened as she looked at them incredulously.
Shen Xi also looked up at the man in front of her with surprise.
Why would he say that?
"Don't speak so harshly. What I have with her has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, you and your son will lose even more," Qin Si Ye condescended, looking down at Qin Xuelan, exuding a chilling aura.
After speaking, he took Shen Xi's small hand and turned to walk away briskly.
"Qin Si Ye, don't be too arrogant. In City K, you're not the only one who calls the shots," Qin Xuelan stomped her feet in anger, shouting hysterically at their retreating backs.
Qin Si Ye said without looking back, "Then let's wait and see!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a gasp of surprise erupted in the hall.
Good heavens, that tall and handsome man was actually City K's richest man, Qin Si Ye. Wasn't he said to be a germaphobe and not interested in women?
How could he be holding that woman's hand, and even admit to liking her?
This was definitely explosive news.
Many people took out their phones and photographed their retreating figures.
As soon as Qin Si Ye pulled Shen Xi out of the door, Shen Xi forcefully broke free from his hand, lowered her head, and walked forward quickly without a word.
"Shen Xi, don't be angry, listen to me." Qin Si Ye quickly caught up with her and gently pulled her arm.
Shen Xi shook him off forcefully again, turned her head, and looked at him with angry eyes, "Mr. Qin, do you think this is very amusing? Just a few days ago, you personally told me you wouldn't like me.
Today, you publicly admitted it. Do you think playing with me like this is fun?"
"No," Qin Si Ye looked at her with deep eyes, "My aunt is competitive and vindictive. The reason I said that was to protect you."
"I don't need your protection, I don't want to get involved in any of your Qin family's affairs, and I'm not interested in you," Shen Xi said indignantly, turning to walk towards the roadside.
"You go. I'll take a taxi back myself."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye stood frozen, his gaze gloomy as he watched her retreating back, showing no reaction at all.
The sentence "not interested in you" kept replaying in his ears.
The moment Shen Xi turned her face, tears welled up in her eyes.
When Qin Si Ye regained his senses, he found that Shen Xi had already gotten into a taxi and driven away.
The next day, after Shen Xi had breakfast, she had just returned to her room when her phone rang.
Picking it up, she saw it was Qin Si Ye.
She hesitated for a long time before throwing the phone on the table.
A moment later, he called again, and Shen Xi still did not answer.
At this moment, she received a voice message from Qin Si Ye via text message.
"Shen Xi, I know you're still angry about yesterday. I apologize to you, and I promise I will never say those words again."
"I'm calling you today because of Grandma. She said she has urgent business with you and specifically asked me to pick you up."
"I'm on my way to your house now, and I'll be there in twenty minutes."
Shen Xi held her phone and listened to these three voice messages back and forth four or five times, finally replying with just one word.
"Okay."
Even if she was still angry with Qin Si Ye, she couldn't refuse Grandma. Moreover, she said she had urgent business with her, so she had to go.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Xi got into Qin Si Ye's car.
The car quickly drove out of the residential area and onto the main road.
Qin Si Ye glanced at Shen Xi sideways and said slowly, "I apologize to you again for yesterday. I absolutely had no intention of playing with you."
Shen Xi stared ahead indifferently, not responding to his words, but instead coldly asked, "What urgent matter does Grandma have with me?"
