Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Sucker Husband Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Sucker Husband Upon sitting down in the private room, Qi Si noticed that Shen Yan’s mood seemed even better than before, and he couldn’t help but feel his heart soften a bit.

“Are you very happy?”

“They are my fans, they genuinely like me, of course I’m happy!”

The feeling of being liked by others was truly wonderful!

Qi Si heard the meaning behind her words and was momentarily taken aback.

He suddenly realized that Shen Yan was really easy to please!

Was she this happy just because her fans liked her?

With so many people in the Shen Family doting on her, wasn’t she happy every day as if she was eating honey?

The waiter came in to take their order, and Shen Yan was not picky, letting Qi Si decide.

Qi Si ordered a few dishes that were often made at home.

“Do you come here often, Mr. Qi? I’ve been in Shen City for quite a while, but I didn’t know there was such a place,” this location suited her status perfectly for coming and going.

“Occasionally.”

It was all for business meetings.

The secrecy here was quite good.

“Business meetings?”

“Mhm.”

“Mr. Qi doesn’t get together with friends?” Even during the New Year, he was so busy that it was impossible to take a break.

She even wondered if someone like Qi Si had any friends.

Could friends tolerate his scowl?

Shen Yan didn’t think there was anything wrong, what she saw were all Qi Si’s attentiveness and tenderness.

Even when the original owner treated him that way, he was willing to be that wronged husband.

Hmm.

Now he was her wronged husband.

Shen Yan found it amazing; she actually married a man!

Qi Si looked at Shen Yan, “Everyone has things to do.”

“It seems I’m the only one with free time,” Shen Yan thought of Qi Si’s current age; his friends were probably around the same age, like that Zhai person she met last time who was also busy with his career in Beijing.

After starting a family, you run around for your own little home, and gatherings with friends become less and less frequent.

Qi Si said, “You currently have to take care of both sides, it’s not relaxing.”

“Compared to Mr. Qi, I’m still too idle, which is why I accepted this audition. If I succeed, I will have to join the crew immediately.”

Shen Yan felt that she needed to work hard.

Qi Si paused for a moment, then asked, “What kind of audition.”

Qi Si hadn’t noticed that he was increasingly able to chat with Shen Yan about trivial things.

Moreover, the way they got along with each other was becoming more natural.

Shen Yan said, “It’s a police movie, directed by the very famous Director Chen.”

Hearing about this kind of film, Qi Si’s first thought was of danger.

“What role are you auditioning for?”

“The female lead.”

“Is there a lot of screen time?”

“The female lead has quite a lot, but it’s mainly focused on the male lead. The female lead is quite likable in it.” Shen Yan thought about the parts of the script she had seen and shared some analysis with Qi Si.

If it were any other time, Qi Si wouldn’t even bother with what Shen Yan was saying.

But now, he was sitting here patiently listening to what Shen Yan deemed as boring stuff.

After drinking two cups of tea, Shen Yan continued, “This kind of film almost has no romance scenes, the whole plot develops the main story.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Si suddenly paused.

He gave Shen Yan a glance, his expression a bit deep.

Just a moment ago, he seemed to want to ask whether the film had any romantic scenes between the leads.

The next sentence, Shen Yan said it outright.

He even wondered if Shen Yan could read his mind.

Shen Yan just said it naturally, without thinking too much about it.

“This time, there are quite a few people competing for the lead role, and I’m not even sure if I can land it,” Shen Yan had confidently said to Liu Su at the Lizi Building earlier, but now, thinking about it, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

Qi Si had not yet spoken when the dishes they ordered arrived.

Shen Yan noticed they were all dishes she often favored at home, and her eyes crinkled into a smile.

Qi Si was indeed very attentive!

Although she wasn’t picky, there were a few dishes she preferred.

The chefs at home knew this and would always prepare extra portions for Shen Yan.

After tasting a few bites, Shen Yan found the food delicious, “The dishes here are really fragrant! Mr. Qi certainly knows good food!”

Qi Si simply glanced at her and did not respond.

Seeing the person across from him eating happily, his mood also lifted somewhat.

*

After the meal, as Shen Yan was about to suggest taking a walk outside to aid digestion—

Blame it on her good mood; she had eaten a bit too much.

Suddenly, several figures turned the corner in front of them, and both groups locked eyes, the people ahead pausing in surprise.

A slightly overweight middle-aged man’s eyes lit up instantly, and he approached with a delighted smile, giving off the impression of being somewhat shorter than Qi Si.

“President Qi! I didn’t expect to run into you here! Are you out dining with a lady?” The middle-aged man’s gaze briefly fell on Shen Yan, noting her good figure and stunning beauty.

Having heard that this man was not interested in women, the middle-aged man was surprised to see such a beautiful and young woman with him in this setting!

Then he understood.

Men’s matters, as a fellow man, there was nothing he didn’t grasp.

“Mr. Bai.”

Qi Si nodded slightly to the other party.

The man in front of him was none other than the current head of the Bai Family, Bai Qian.

Standing beside Bai Qian were several members of the Bai Family.

Among them was Bai Zhong.

Bai Zhong, seeing these two, also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but quickly retracted any unusual expression.

Qi Si had no intention of introducing Shen Yan to the Bai Family.

When Shen Yan saw Bai Zhong, she thought of Shen Ning.

Madam Bai’s gaze swept over the two of them, resting on Shen Yan with a touch of scrutiny.

Previously, Madam Bai had wanted to meet the elusive head of the Qi Family because of Zhao Qiong’s incident but didn’t get the chance. The next day, Zhao Qiong was sent to the countryside, where she was still farming without returning to the city.

Shen Yan, meeting Madam Bai’s somewhat hostile scrutinizing gaze, nodded slightly.

Madam Bai was taken aback and withdrew her gaze.

Since Qi Si hadn’t introduced Shen Yan, the Bai Family collectively believed that she wasn’t important to Qi Si.

Just a random woman he brought along.

“Since we’ve run into President Qi, why not sit down and talk for a while?” Bai Qian promptly wanted to talk business with Qi Si.

Qi Si hadn’t planned on working today and declined indifferently, “I have other matters, so I’ll excuse myself.”

After nodding to the Bai Family, he turned and left.

Shen Yan followed by his side.

Madam Bai watched Shen Yan’s retreating figure and said to Bai Qian, “Is that the Qi Family’s leader rumored to be indifferent to women?”

Bai Qian shot her a look, “Women shouldn’t ask so many questions.”

Men’s affairs were hardly comprehensible to women.

Such a busybody.

Madam Bai frowned slightly, “It seems the rumors might be false.”

“The woman with him is the actress we were discussing previously, Shen Yan,” Bai Zhong suddenly spoke up.

The Bai Family members instantly looked at Bai Zhong.

Madam Bai frowned again, “No wonder.”

The actresses from the entertainment industry, few were clean.

Madam Bai had a very low opinion of actresses, so upon hearing this, she looked down on the woman accompanying Qi Si.

Bai Qian glanced at his son, “It’s someone else’s business, you should speak and interfere less.”

“I know,” Bai Zhong wanted to mention that he had encountered her before but then swallowed his words.
