Seeing Song Qinian make a throat-slitting gesture, Shen Qiwen found it amusing and chuckled.
Her threat, in Shen Qiwen's eyes, was like a kitten with no claws, furiously throwing a tantrum, utterly incapable of posing any real danger.
"Even if I were to set my sights on her, what could you possibly do to me?"
Song Qinian stared at Shen Qiwen in fury, wishing she could slap him with the sole of her shoe.
"Heh… you're far more lively now than you are when you're in front of Shen Chi Yan."
Shen Qiwen reached out to touch Song Qinian's face, but she slapped his hand away fiercely.
Just then, Shen Qiwen's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he smiled slightly at Song Qinian, "Song Qinian, we have plenty of time."
Song Qinian watched Shen Qiwen's retreating back, her brow furrowed tightly. It was clear he wouldn't give up so easily.
But he didn't like Miao Zi Ai, nor did he have any grudge against her. Why would he target Miao Zi Ai?
Was it simply to annoy her?
No, she still had to find a way to let Miao Zi Ai know that Shen Qiwen was not a good person.
Before Song Qinian could go find Miao Zi Ai, Miao Zi Ai came to her.
"Nian Nian, come with me."
Miao Zi Ai pulled Song Qinian to a corner on the eighteenth floor. Seeing her secretive demeanor, Song Qinian thought something major had happened.
"Xiao Ai, what's wrong?"
"Nian Nian, I saw everything."
Song Qinian was bewildered and gestured questioningly, "Saw what?"
Miao Zi Ai peeked outside cautiously, and seeing no one approaching, she whispered to Song Qinian, "I saw you and Manager Shen together, and he even cornered you."
Song Qinian's expression shifted slightly. She had truly not expected Miao Zi Ai to witness that scene. It was good, though; she could use this opportunity to let Xiao Ai know Shen Qiwen's true colors.
As Song Qinian was about to gesture, Miao Zi Ai grabbed her hand, "You don't need to gesture, I understand. Don't worry, I will absolutely not be a third party and ruin your marriage."
Song Qinian: "???"
Weren't they talking about Shen Qiwen? How did it suddenly turn to mistresses and her marriage?
Miao Zi Ai smiled and playfully hit Song Qinian, "Oh, stop pretending. I know everything. You and Manager Shen are husband and wife."
Song Qinian was stunned. Where did Miao Zi Ai get the idea that she and Shen Qiwen were married?
"You asked me to stay away from Manager Shen, saying he wasn't a good person. Actually, you're just jealous because Manager Shen is a fan of Lin Qiu Tong."
"And in the cafeteria today, you and Manager Shen didn't interact. Actually, while Manager Shen was talking to me, he was constantly looking at you."
"He intentionally asked me so many questions, and even asked if I had a boyfriend, just to make you angry and see your reaction. As expected, you got angry, and he knew you cared about him a lot, so he smiled happily and then went to the restroom to find you."
"He must have explained to you that he simply admired Lin Qiu Tong and didn't like her, right? Oh my, you two, playing some wild games!"
The more Song Qinian listened, the more absurd it became. Just as she was about to gesture, Miao Zi Ai seemed to have thought of something else and said with sudden realization, "No wonder you ignored me when I asked you to get me an autographed photo from Lin Qiu Tong last time. So, you were already jealous of Lin Qiu Tong back then!"
"And last time, when the contraceptives fell out of your bag, Director Shen obviously helped you out. Looking back now, you are Director Shen's sister-in-law, so he would naturally have to help you!"
Song Qinian: "..."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I do think Manager Shen is very handsome, but a friend's husband is not to be coveted. I will absolutely not compete with you for Manager Shen."
Saying this, Miao Zi Ai covered her mouth and chuckled, "Honestly, a man like Manager Shen, who appears to be a scoundrel on the surface, I can guarantee he's a deeply devoted person. Therefore, he must love you very, very much. I hope you two can be happy forever."
Song Qinian: "..."
Song Qinian thought Miao Zi Ai was truly a peculiar person.
If you said Miao Zi Ai was talking nonsense, then some of what Miao Zi Ai said was actually correct.
For example, Lin Qiu Tong was her love rival, and she didn't like Lin Qiu Tong.
Another example, Shen Qiwen was devoted. Shen Qiwen was a die-hard sycophant for Lin Qiu Tong; how could he not be devoted to be a sycophant?
But if you said her words were right, they were paradoxically completely wrong.
Song Qinian really wanted to explain, but suddenly didn't know how to express herself.
After a moment's thought, her ultimate goal was to prevent Shen Qiwen from harming Miao Zi Ai. Since Miao Zi Ai wouldn't be seduced by Shen Qiwen, it didn't matter anymore.
Just then, Shen Chi Yan's WeChat message came through.
"Bring a cup of coffee in."
Song Qinian dared not delay. After quickly bidding farewell to Miao Zi Ai, she went to the pantry.
On the other side.
The person who had called Shen Qiwen was Lin Qiu Tong. Shen Qiwen hadn't answered at first but called her back after returning to his office.
"Tong Tong…"
"Why didn't you answer the phone just now?"
"I was having dinner with Song Qinian."
"What?" Lin Qiu Tong's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, "Why were you having dinner with Song Qinian?"
Before Shen Qiwen could speak, Lin Qiu Tong said angrily, "Shen Qiwen, don't tell me you've been charmed by Song Qinian like other men and fallen for her?"
Shen Qiwen raised an eyebrow, his mood greatly improved. This was the first time Lin Qiu Tong had questioned him; did it mean she still cared about him?
"I have no interest in Song Qinian. The only person I've ever loved is you."
Despite Shen Qiwen's heartfelt confession, Lin Qiu Tong was not moved. She even snorted lightly, "Is that so? You're both at Ding Sheng Group now. Don't let proximity lead to developing feelings."
"What if I really fell for Song Qinian?"
"Don't try to test me with that. But since you asked, I can tell you the answer. If you truly fell for Song Qinian, I would be very happy. If you managed to win Song Qinian over for me, I would be even more grateful."
Shen Qiwen's handsome face instantly darkened. What care? Her eyes and heart were only for Shen Chi Yan.
"I called you today because I discovered someone is investigating Song Guan Liang's matter from three years ago. Please help me find out what's going on."
Although Shen Qiwen was angry, he always did as Lin Qiu Tong asked regarding her affairs.
"The only person in this world who could investigate Song Guan Liang's kidnapping case from three years ago should be Song Qinian."
"I guessed it was her too. I didn't expect her to still be so persistent. We absolutely cannot let her find any clues from that year, otherwise, it would be detrimental to both you and me."
"Mmm."
"No, Song Qinian is a ticking time bomb. As long as she stays by Ah Yan's side, she poses an increasing danger to us. Therefore, we must find a way to make her and Ah Yan divorce quickly."
Shen Qiwen curved his lips, "I do have an idea…"
