Gao Dashang was still holding Song Qinian’s shoulder, pulling her into the private room.
“Wife, let’s go, we can chat slowly today.”
At this moment, Song Qinian wished she could die.
She angrily pushed Gao Dashang away and ran downstairs. Gao Dashang, realizing what was happening, wanted to chase after her but was blocked by Gao Kunlun.
“What are you doing? Move aside!”
Gao Kunlun said nothing, grabbed Gao Dashang by the collar, and threw him into the private room.
The others exchanged glances, then their gazes fell on Shen Chiyan.
Strange, why would President Shen’s bodyguard interfere in other people’s business?
Shen Chiyan’s face was expressionless, and the killing intent radiating from him was chilling. Without a word, he left the restaurant.
The crowd, unsure of what was happening and not daring to ask, silently followed his lead.
Successfully escaping the restaurant, Song Qinian gasped for air. Under the scorching sun, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
“Mom, I want a donut.”
“You’ve had too many sweets today, no more donuts.”
A mother and daughter walked past Song Qinian. The little girl pointed at the pastry shop, her voice soft and sweet.
Her mother held her hand, a gentle smile on her face.
The child, unable to have a donut, pouted her lips aggrievedly. Suddenly, her little head seemed to recall something, and she said with a smile, “Then let’s buy one for Dad to eat, okay?”
Her mother saw through the little girl’s thoughts but didn’t expose her. “You can buy one for Dad, but you can’t sneak any bites.”
“Okay~~~”
Song Qinian’s beautiful teary eyes gazed deeply at the happy and joyful mother and daughter, her eyes filled with envy.
Why were other people’s mothers so good, while hers always hurt her!
When Liu Xiaohan deceived her and sold her out for money, had she ever thought that Song Qinian was her own daughter!
A Bugatti suddenly stopped by Song Qinian’s feet. Gao Kunlun got out of the car and looked at Song Qinian with concern, then jogged over to open the car door for her. “Young Madam…”
Song Qinian knew there was no avoiding what was coming and got into the car.
The car’s air conditioning was not on, yet Song Qinian shivered the moment she got in.
That chill emanated from Shen Chiyan, whose face was cold and gloomy.
On the way home, Shen Chiyan didn’t look at Song Qinian once. Song Qinian continued to cry silently, afraid to disturb him.
As soon as they reached the villa entrance, Shen Chiyan got out of the car first. Song Qinian ran to catch up with him.
Besides sadness, she also felt apprehension and fear.
The calmer Shen Chiyan was, the more scared she became.
The current situation felt like the calm before a storm.
Shen Chiyan went to the study. Song Qinian didn’t follow him in but returned to her room to take a bath.
She felt uncomfortable all over from Gao Dashang’s touch.
“Bang…”
As Song Qinian was showering, the bathroom door was suddenly kicked open.
“!”
Song Qinian was startled. Just as she wiped the water from her face and prepared to look, she was pushed against the wall by the person who rushed in.
Her slender neck fell into Shen Chiyan’s long and beautiful hands. Meeting Shen Chiyan’s cold and terrifying handsome face, Song Qinian’s heart pounded.
Not from excitement or exhilaration, but from deep fear.
“You and your money-grubbing mother are quite good at preparing for the future, starting so eagerly to find a rich next choice.”
Seeing that Shen Chiyan had misunderstood, Song Qinian was about to reach out and explain. Shen Chiyan clearly didn’t want to watch her gesture and fiercely squeezed her fingers.
Shen Chiyan was in a rage, and his grip was strong. Song Qinian broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
She shook her head desperately, tears mingling with the shower water, streaming down her face.
“You’re really not picky either. That person is sallow and has cloudy eyes, a typical case of kidney deficiency. Can he satisfy you if you’re this desperate?”
Shen Chiyan’s heartless humiliation turned Song Qinian’s face ashen. She bit her lip tightly, her heart filled with despair.
He had long decided she was a selfish person, and it would be useless even if she dug out her heart to show him.
“Or perhaps… you left the hospital without my permission until Qiuqiu woke up, and seeing that I ignored you, you wanted to give me a cuckold to get my attention? Song Qinian, how dare you think your place in my heart is more important than Qiuqiu’s?”
Song Qinian gave a wry smile in her heart. She had never believed she was more important to Shen Chiyan than Lin Qitong.
Unable to speak, Song Qinian suddenly felt very tired. Since Shen Chiyan didn’t want to hear her explain, she no longer wanted to.
She wearily closed her eyes, thinking that since no one cared about her, Shen Chiyan could do as he pleased.
Seeing Song Qinian’s look of utter despair, Shen Chiyan felt even more frustrated amidst his anger. He grabbed Song Qinian’s chin, staring at her sinisterly. “I’m warning you, as long as you are my wife, Shen Chiyan, for one more day, be well-behaved. If there’s a next time, you’ll never see your father again!”
Song Qinian’s eyes snapped open and looked at Shen Chiyan. Before she could see him clearly, his burning lips pressed down on hers.
Song Qinian had never resisted Shen Chiyan before. In fact, every time he kissed her, she would open her mouth to cooperate.
But this time, she kept her teeth tightly clenched, unwilling to let Shen Chiyan in.
Shen Chiyan thought of her letting that sharp-faced old man embrace her and yet not letting him kiss her. His fury ignited like a prairie fire, burning intensely.
“Open your mouth!”
Song Qinian shook her head, refusing to cooperate.
His eyes turned cold, and Shen Chiyan bit Song Qinian’s lip fiercely. The sudden pain forced Song Qinian to open her mouth. Shen Chiyan seized the opportunity, his tongue mixing with the blood from her lips, and punitively deprived her of her breath.
Shen Chiyan vented all his recent frustrations and his day’s anger onto Song Qinian.
Song Qinian was like a puppet, tossed around by Shen Chiyan all night, a truly pitiful sight.
After this ordeal, she slept for a day and a night before recovering.
She had expected to see Shen Chiyan’s divorce papers upon waking up. To her surprise, Shen Chiyan said nothing about divorce.
Since Shen Chiyan didn’t mention divorce, she naturally wouldn’t bring it up.
As for Liu Xiaohan…
After a painful realization, she sent Liu Xiaohan a WeChat message: “Mom, you’ve disappointed me too much. From now on, don’t contact me again. I won’t believe your words anymore. Take care of yourself.”
After sending the message, she blocked all of Liu Xiaohan’s contact information.
On Monday morning, Song Qinian returned to work.
Guan Mingxu’s daily bouquet of roses had never stopped.
Before, Shen Keqin used to deliver them for Guan Mingxu; now, Guan Mingxu delivered them himself.
This could be seen from the cards placed with the flowers.
In the afternoon, Song Qinian received a WeChat message from the person with the Black Cat Sheriff avatar and the WeChat name “a”.
This person’s real name was Zhou Luote, a private detective.
After Song Guanliang was imprisoned, Song Qinian hired him to investigate the events of three years ago. He had initially demanded a high fee, and Song Qinian had struggled to gather a third of the money for him.
Later, Zhou Luote saw that Song Qinian was mute but very filial and decided to help her. Of course, he also had his own motives; if he could overturn the case for Song Qinian’s father, his reputation would soar, and he could earn more money.
Now, things were finally showing some progress.
