Shen Chi Yan was severely injured. The doctor strictly forbade him from acting recklessly after he woke up and ran to the hospital that time.
Gao Kun Lun was very afraid that something would happen to Shen Chi Yan on the road, and even more afraid that if Song Qi Nian threw him out of the house in Yun Xi Town, wouldn't that be even worse.
Shen Chi Yan could no longer care about that. He only had one thought: to tell Song Qi Nian that he loved her and to keep her by his side, to love her well.
Shen Ke Qin had to pry to find out Song Qi Nian's old address, for which Shen Chi Yan agreed to fulfill one of Shen Ke Qin's wishes.
The car traveled for five hours and finally reached Yun Xi Town, but Song Qi Nian's old home was not in the town, but in a place called Qing Jiu Village.
At the entrance of the village, Shen Chi Yan asked Gao Kun Lun to stop the car.
"Go and get the suitcase out of the car."
Gao Kun Lun was a little stunned, "Fifth Master, we haven't reached Miss Lin's house yet."
Shen Chi Yan did not speak, but got out of the car directly. It had started snowing heavily at some point, and the road was already covered in snow.
Gao Kun Lun didn't know what he was going to do, so he obediently took the suitcase out of the trunk.
Shen Chi Yan looked at the village with smoke rising from the chimneys and said to Gao Kun Lun lightly, "You can go back."
"What? How can that be? You're still injured, what if Miss Lin throws you out..."
Realizing his slip of the tongue, Gao Kun Lun let out a dry laugh, "What I mean is, it's so cold, and we don't even know the exact location of Miss Lin's house. In your current condition, dragging luggage to find her house will definitely be difficult. How about this, I'll take you there and then leave."
Shen Chi Yan directly pulled the suitcase, "I won't die. You go back to Jing Hua City and continue investigating the car accident that night. That car wasn't aimed at me, it was aimed at Qi Qi."
"But..."
Gao Kun Lun still wanted to say something when he received a cold glance from Shen Chi Yan. Gao Kun Lun got into the car aggrievedly.
Watching Shen Chi Yan disappear into the vast snow, he was still worried and called Shen Ke Qin.
"Miss Qin Qin, Fifth Master asked me to come back first at the village entrance. He went in alone to find Miss Song's house."
Shen Ke Qin, who had been working hard for days and finally slept in, was clearly grumpy after being woken up by Gao Kun Lun, "Isn't that good? You're back."
"But I'm worried about Fifth Master..."
"What are you worried about? My brother isn't a child. Besides, he's just going to play the victim. If you followed him, how could he play the victim and get my sister-in-law to pity him? Gao Kun Lun, I'm warning you, you can't be a stumbling block for my sister-in-law and brother to reconcile!"
Upon hearing Shen Ke Qin's words, Gao Kun Lun's eyes lit up. That's right, how could he have forgotten about playing the victim?
Miss Song was so sad before, she definitely wouldn't forgive Fifth Master so easily. If she had Fifth Master in her heart, she would surely be heartbroken to see Fifth Master like this.
But what if she really didn't love Fifth Master anymore?
"Then you don't need to worry. No matter what, my brother was injured because of my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law's heart isn't that hard, and she won't truly ignore my brother. As for the rest, it depends on my brother's own ability."
Gao Kun Lun thought Shen Ke Qin's words made perfect sense and drove back to Jing Hua City without any burden.
It was winter and snowy, so the people of Qing Jiu Village didn't go out much. Only a few children were playing in the snow and building snowmen.
When they saw Shen Chi Yan, they stopped what they were doing and stared at him blankly, as if they had never seen such a handsome young man before.
Shen Chi Yan looked at the children with snot running and rosy, frozen faces staring at him. He gave them a smile that he thought was quite kind, "Hello, children, do you know how to get to Song Qi Nian's house?"
The other children were shy. Some hid behind books, while others ran home. Only a little girl in a small red cotton padded jacket stood there blankly, looking at Shen Chi Yan.
Shen Chi Yan thought his complexion must be very bad, so he bent down and squatted with difficulty in front of the little girl, "I'm not a bad person, I'm looking for someone."
The little girl's bright eyes looked at Shen Chi Yan and she said cutely, "Are you a prince?"
"Ah?"
Before Shen Chi Yan could react, several adults rushed out. One woman picked up the little girl and looked at Shen Chi Yan warily.
Seeing that Shen Chi Yan was wearing an expensive suit and was tall and handsome, she was stunned. Were human traffickers so good-looking now?
"Who are you? What are you doing in Qing Jiu Village?"
Shen Chi Yan saw that everyone thought he was a bad person and explained faintly, "I'm looking for Song Qi Nian, but I don't know where her house is, so I wanted to ask for directions."
"You're looking for Nian Nian? Who are you to her?"
Shen Chi Yan thought for a moment. They were still in a cooling-off period, so they weren't divorced yet. He smiled and said, "I am her husband."
As soon as the crowd heard this, they instantly started whispering.
"Oh my, they said that the mute girl from the Song family married into a wealthy family in the city. I thought Liu Xiao Han was bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Oh my, this young man is so handsome, but that girl from the Song family was already the prettiest in our village. Looking at them now, they are quite a match."
"That's what you said, but he's so handsome and seems to be from a good family. Why would he be interested in a mute girl?"
"What are you talking about? Nian Nian is so outstanding, she has good grades, is humble and kind, much better than your second daughter."
"You..."
Seeing that some people were about to argue, the woman holding the girl smiled at Shen Chi Yan, "I know where Nian Nian's house is, I'll take you there."
Shen Chi Yan nodded, "Thank you."
The woman's name was Liu Xiao Ying, and she had a good relationship with Song Qi Nian's family. It was she who had called Song Qi Nian when Song Qi Nian's grandmother had an accident this time.
Along the way, Liu Xiao Ying chattered endlessly about Song Qi Nian's family. Shen Chi Yan listened quietly, saying nothing.
Finally, they arrived in front of a house, and Liu Xiao Ying smiled at Shen Chi Yan, "This is Nian Nian's home."
The door was closed. Liu Xiao Ying reached out and knocked, "Nian Nian, your husband is here to see you!"
The door opened from the inside, and the person who came out was not Song Qi Nian, but an old woman with white hair and a kind face.
"Nian Nian's grandmother, this is your granddaughter's husband..."
While introducing, Liu Xiao Ying realized she hadn't asked Shen Chi Yan's name, so she smiled at him, "By the way, what's your name?"
Shen Chi Yan looked at Song Qi Nian's grandmother and smiled slightly, "Hello, Grandma, my name is Shen Chi Yan."
Although Grandma hadn't seen Shen Chi Yan before, she had seen the photos Song Qi Nian sent her. Seeing Shen Chi Yan, she felt he was much more handsome in person than in the photo.
"Oh my, you are Ah Yan? What happened to your head?"
Shen Chi Yan smiled innocently, "I bumped it by accident, it's nothing."
The old woman looked at her grandson-in-law with increasing satisfaction, her smile almost splitting her face, "Come in, come in quickly, you must be tired from the journey!"
Shen Chi Yan followed the old woman inside, his heart growing more nervous. He didn't know how Song Qi Nian would react when she saw him later.
