Song Qinian could endure Shen Chi Yan not believing her, not loving her.
But she couldn't endure Lin Qiutong repeatedly harming her family.
Tonight, Lin Qiutong orchestrating this scene, must have planned for a wonderful evening with Shen Chi Yan.
Since that was the case, how could she let her get her way?
Song Qinian first sent a WeChat message to Shen Keqin, "Qinqin, do you know where Shen Chi Yan and Lin Qiutong are attending a banquet tonight?"
Shen Keqin didn't know either, but after a quick inquiry, she quickly replied to Song Qinian.
"Today is Lin Qiutong's cousin Xia Yu's girlfriend's birthday. They're at Haitan Shengyan."
A few seconds later, Shen Keqin sent another WeChat message, "Sister-in-law, are you... alright? Actually, my brother might not be bringing you because he's afraid you'll be bullied by Xia Yu and the Lin family."
Knowing Shen Keqin was comforting her, Song Qinian felt warmth in her heart, "I know, don't worry, I'm fine."
After confirming Shen Chi Yan's location, Song Qinian returned home and took out the wine Shen Chi Yan had kept in his wine cabinet for several years.
Zhang Qiaoqiao was surprised, "Young Madam, you want to drink?"
Song Qinian smiled and nodded, "The weather is nice today, let's have a small drink, you and I."
Zhang Qiaoqiao looked at the overcast sky outside and wasn't sure whether to expose Song Qinian or go along with her.
Zhang Qiaoqiao clearly sensed that Song Qinian was in a bad mood, so she made a table full of delicious dishes and had a little drink with Song Qinian.
After the meal, Song Qinian gestured to Zhang Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, help me call a car, I need to go to Haitan Shengyan."
"Ah? It's past ten o'clock, and you still want to go out?"
Song Qinian nodded.
"Haitan Shengyan seems to be a club. What are you going there for? Besides, you're already drunk."
"I'm not drunk. Go call a car, I'll go change my clothes."
Song Qinian's cheeks were a little flushed, but she looked relatively normal. Seeing Song Qinian's firm attitude, Zhang Qiaoqiao still helped her call a car.
"Young Madam, shall I accompany you?"
"No need, I can manage myself. Don't worry."
Zhang Qiaoqiao couldn't be at ease. Knowing Song Qinian was going to find Shen Chi Yan, she called Shen Chi Yan, but no one answered.
Meanwhile, Shen Chi Yan was watching Xia Yu and his girlfriend showing off their affection.
Xia Yu was a skilled entertainer, and his girlfriend was not shy either. The two kissed passionately in front of everyone, and the scene was incredibly steamy.
Others were screaming and whistling. A birthday banquet was turned into something like a live sex show.
Shen Chi Yan was toasted and drank a little, then sat lazily on the sofa, watching the others' antics, feeling a bit bored.
Xia Yu, intending to pair Lin Qiutong with Shen Chi Yan, whispered a few words to the people around him.
"Everyone, the games we played earlier were too boring. How about we play something more interesting?"
"What?"
"Xixing Dafa."
The private room immediately erupted in screams.
Xixing Dafa involved men and women sitting in a circle, passing a playing card held between their lips from one person to another. The one who dropped it lost, and the loser had to accept a penalty, usually drinking, but there were also various other punishments.
Lin Qiutong's heart was in turmoil, but despite her anxiety, she feigned reluctance, "You guys play, I can't play this game."
"Miss Lin, since you're here, don't be so boring. Fifth Master, you should join too."
Lin Qiutong looked eagerly at Shen Chi Yan, and instinctively defended him, "A Yan doesn't play this game."
"Miss Lin isn't Shen Zong's inner蛔虫, how do you know Fifth Master won't play? Or is it that you're controlling Fifth Master too strictly, not letting him play?"
Hearing the teasing, Lin Qiutong's cheeks flushed. She playfully hit Shen Chi Yan, "A Yan, you tell them yourself, I won't help you anymore."
Her embarrassment at having her girlish thoughts exposed made everyone laugh.
"Look, look, they're showing off their affection in public. The relationship between childhood sweethearts is indeed good, it really makes us single dogs envious."
At this moment, Xia Yu walked up to Shen Chi Yan, "Fifth Master, drinking alone is so boring, why not join us?"
Shen Chi Yan stood up directly, picked up his coat, and said faintly to Xia Yu, "I'm going back. You guys enjoy yourselves."
Xia Yu glanced at Lin Qiutong. Seeing Lin Qiutong's displeased expression, he chuckled, "It's rare for all of us to get together. There are still other things later..."
Without waiting for Xia Yu to finish, Shen Chi Yan left the room, saying, "I'm leaving."
Lin Qiutong had assumed that if Shen Chi Yan liked her, he would definitely take this opportunity for some intimate interaction. But she forgot that Shen Chi Yan had mysophobia, and even if he were willing to be intimate with her, he would definitely not want to be in contact with others.
Shen Chi Yan was rarely drunk tonight, and she couldn't let such a good opportunity slip away.
"A Yan..."
Lin Qiutong chased after Shen Chi Yan at the door. Seeing the heavy rain outside, she thought that even heaven was helping her.
"It's raining so heavily. If you're tired, you can go to the hotel next door..."
Before she could finish speaking, a small figure suddenly rushed over and threw herself into Shen Chi Yan's arms.
Lin Qiutong's face changed drastically. Where did this little vixen come from, daring to throw herself into Shen Chi Yan's arms?
"Hey, who are you? Let go of A Yan!"
She reached out to pull away the shameless woman, but the woman clung to Shen Chi Yan tightly and refused to let go.
Lin Qiutong was furious. In her life, she had never hugged Shen Chi Yan like this.
Just then, Shen Chi Yan's cold and pleasant voice suddenly rang out, "Song Qinian?"
Hearing this, Song Qinian looked up and smiled at Shen Chi Yan. Her eyes were curved, and Shen Chi Yan's reflection was all she could see.
Shen Chi Yan looked at her flushed cheeks and slightly hazy eyes, and smelled the strong scent of alcohol on her. His expression instantly darkened, "You've been drinking?"
Song Qinian nodded obediently, then shivered with cold.
It was then that Shen Chi Yan noticed Song Qinian was only wearing a thin black dress. Her pale skin was tinged blue from the cold, and she was trembling.
Shen Chi Yan's expression turned as ugly as it could get. He draped his coat over Song Qinian, wrapping her in it, and roared, "Who gave you the guts to come here drinking in such heavy rain? Who did you come with? Don't tell me you came by yourself!"
Song Qinian shook her head. Her slender little hand trembled as she reached out to gesture, but Shen Chi Yan firmly grasped it, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"
Just then, Xia Yu and the others also came out.
"Fifth Master, Miss Lin, you haven't left yet?"
"Hey, who is the woman in Fifth Master's arms?"
Song Qinian pushed Shen Chi Yan away and waved at everyone with a smile, as if to say hello.
"Holy crap, she's so cute!"
People who came to play here had seen all sorts of beautiful women, but this was the first time they had seen such a pure and cute girl. Some were so entranced that they didn't even notice their cigarettes had fallen to the ground.
Song Qinian, when drunk, was even more alluring than usual. Seeing Song Qinian smile at others, an inexplicable rage surged in Shen Chi Yan's chest.
He didn't want anyone else to see Song Qinian, so he pressed her head into his chest and picked her up directly.
"Xia Yu, please make sure to send Qiu Qiu home safely."
Just then, Gao Kunlun's car had arrived. He directly carried Song Qinian into the car.
As Song Qinian got into the car, her gaze swept over Shen Chi Yan's arm and met Lin Qiutong's eyes. An invisible spark exchanged between them.
Only then did Lin Qiutong realize that Song Qinian was declaring war on her!
