Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Qi Heng Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Qi Heng Qi Si replied only with a photograph.

It was a scenery she had seen before.

He was indeed in the Tibetan Region.

Moreover, it was near the guard post, the position he shot from required walking some distance and standing on a hill slope.

Looking at the photograph, Shen Yan suddenly wanted him to take a selfie.

Then she remembered his dislike for taking photos, so she changed it to: “Take a short video.”

A little while later, the video was sent over.

Shen Yan opened it and watched for a while before replying with a smile, “I believe Mr. Qi is safe.”

Qi Si: “Disregard whatever Shen Zheng may have told you, don’t believe it.”

When Shen Yan saw this, she paused.

Perhaps to prevent Shen Yan from misunderstanding something, Qi Si added another sentence: “There are some things he’s not aware of.”

Shen Yan couldn’t help but smile silently, “I trust Mr. Qi.”

Qi Si: “Mhm.”

Shen Yan: “Is Mr. Qi going into a major business deal?”

Qi Si: “I have a friend in the Tibetan Region, he has encountered some trouble.”

Shen Yan fell silent at this reply.

Had Qi Si really just openly shared that with her?

Shen Yan, thinking of a past incident where she had hidden something from him, felt somewhat guilty, contemplating whether to tell him, when Qi Si sent another message.

“Don’t push yourself too hard filming, you’re still injured.”

Shen Yan smiled slightly again.

Qi Si was showing his concern for her.

She scrolled up and realized that Qi Si had been unusually talkative today.

Advising her, caring for her, it was a first.

In Shen Yan’s smiling eyes, there was now an added softness.

“Shen Yan.”

Mu Jincheng stood in front and saw the genuine smile originating from within her, so different from her usual smiles.

Something itched inside him.

Thinking about who could make Shen Yan laugh so… sweetly?

Yes.

It was sweet.

Mu Jincheng’s heart rate sped up significantly at that smile.

His gaze couldn’t move away.

Hearing someone calling her, Shen Yan suddenly looked up.

Seeing Mu Jincheng walking toward her, the smile on her face instantly vanished, and she put away her phone.

Mu Jincheng caught this action and his eyes flickered, “Weren’t you eating? Why did you come out?”

Mu Jincheng was quite peculiar.

Yesterday when he saw her, he had such a disdainful look, and now he was unbearably sweet.

He must be sick.

“Getting some air.”

“Put the bill under my name.”

“I don’t eat for free,” Shen Yan spoke indifferently. “Is there anything else?”

If there was nothing, she would leave.

It was slightly unlucky to run into him after coming out.

Shen Yan was eager to send a message to Qi Si and had no time to deal with him.

She turned to leave.

“Shen Yan!”

Mu Jincheng raised his hand to grab Shen Yan’s hand, but she coldly brushed it off.

This move made Mu Jincheng’s hand tingle.

Shen Yan had used a lot of force.

“Don’t touch me.” Shen Yan’s gaze towards him was icy.

Mu Jincheng’s expression changed.

Shen Yan looked behind him, “Don’t let your girlfriend misunderstand and cause me trouble.”

Mu Jincheng’s expression shifted again, his body stiffening.

By the time he thought to follow her, Shen Yan’s figure had already disappeared.

“Jinchen!”

Chu Jinghe’s voice came from behind, freezing all of Mu Jincheng’s movements.

Chu Jinghe followed Mu Jincheng outside, and she could clearly see everything they said and did.

Her fingernails dug into her flesh, blood flowing out, but she felt no pain.

She only felt wronged.

And she hated Shen Yan even more.

Not only had Shen Yan stolen the role of the leading lady from her, but now she was trying to steal her boyfriend as well. How could Shen Yan be so cheap?

*

Shen Yan found a quiet place to reply to Qi Si, chatting intermittently.

It was finally Qi Si who reminded her to rest before she realized how much time had passed. Remembering her friends and brother in the private room, she hurriedly put away her phone and returned.

Shen Zheng and Qin Dingyue had long finished eating.

Qin Dingyue was naturally sociable, not the least bit intimidated by Shen Zheng, and seemed eager to chat about anything and everything.

Shen Zheng wasn’t too annoyed, either; handling Qin Dingyue this way, he still had some patience.

However,

despite all the chatter, Qin Dingyue still had no clue what the Shen Family in Beijing was really like.

She was just surprised that Shen Yan was also from Beijing, as online rumors had spread that she came from the countryside.

Is there even a countryside in Beijing?

Qin Dingyue kept pondering this question.

But looking at Shen Zheng’s attire, he seemed even more imposing than successful business people.

He didn’t seem like someone who’d come from the countryside.

*

Not until Shen Yan had driven her home did Qin Dingyue’s confusion persist, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Yanyan, your brother said you guys are from Beijing, but online it says you’re from the countryside. Is there a countryside in Beijing?”

“…Sort of,” Shen Yan considered; that area used to be farmland after all.

Rounding up, she came from the villages, right?

“Ah! Even the countryside in Beijing sounds quite nice. Looking at how well you and your brother are doing, Yanyan, thank you for introducing me to your big brother today! It’s been so long since I’ve had such a good chat!”

“…” Shen Yan gave her an indescribable look and replied blankly, “I introduced you to my brother for matchmaking, not to become sworn siblings.”

“Ah?!”

Qin Dingyue’s eyes widened in shock.

How could this be?

Directly, Shen Yan asked, “What do you think of my big brother?”

Qin Dingyue answered awkwardly, “He’s very nice! Although he seemed a bit impatient with me, he still listened to me graciously. He’s a good person.”

“Do you have any thoughts about him?”

“Yes.”

Shen Yan nodded in satisfaction, “Then, would you like to try dating?”

“I actually thought about becoming sworn siblings!”

Shen Yan: “…”

Qin Dingyue realized what she had said earlier only after speaking, blinking she explained, “Not dating, I think I’m more suited to be sworn siblings with your brother!”

Shen Yan pursed her lips and emotionlessly dropped Qin Dingyue off at her place, watching her get out of the car before she drove off briskly.

Qin Dingyue scratched her head, puzzled, and murmured to the disappearing car, “I’m not worthy of being matched with someone like your brother.”

Qin Dingyue still had some self-awareness; she wasn’t stupid.

*

Shen Yan drove in a different direction.

She found a place to stay quiet for a while before slowly making her way home.

In the deep, silent night, Shen Yan’s senses became exceptionally clear.

Lying in bed, she also felt a bit of loneliness.

Not until the next day, when she entered the bustling campus and sat in the large classroom in front of her computer screen, did she feel reintegrated into normal society.

In the afternoon, leaving campus, she texted Liu Su about going to eat out with classmates.

Ji Yao had invited them, and Shen Yan, wanting to further blend into normal life, nodded in agreement.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the school gate, Shen Yan saw a familiar figure.

The surrounding girls kept sneaking glances at that tall figure, whispering among themselves and letting out little squeals, their faces visibly flushing.

Their gazes repeatedly stolen towards that figure.

Seeing Qi Heng here, Shen Yan was momentarily stunned!

Shen Yan turned and briefly spoke to Ji Yao and the others before approaching.

The people around the campus took a moment to realize what was happening when they saw Shen Yan walking straight towards that handsome man.

Some reached for their phones, but Shen Yan and the man had already disappeared from view.
