Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Honeymoon? Extreme Speed Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Honeymoon? Extreme Speed Shen Yan returned home in the evening and saw Qi Si sitting in the living room.

The flowers delivered that day were still arranged all over the living room, turning it into a sea of blooms, with Qi Si seated on a single sofa, his space partly taken up by bouquets, his whole being enveloped in the scent of flowers.

Looking at the man amidst the floral sea, Shen Yan found herself momentarily enrapt.

She thought,

Qi Si suited flowers better than anyone else!

Qi Si looked up and met Shen Yan’s gaze.

Shen Yan approached him with a smile, “Mr. Qi, when did you get back?”

The man who had just mentioned returning as soon as possible was now home.

“Just arrived.”

The smile in Shen Yan’s eyes seemed to intensify. She glanced around and walked over, “Did you visit the Shen family?”

“Everything is well at the Shen Family.”

“Then, I’m relieved.”

Qi Si put down his work and looked at Shen Yan, “Your father and mother want to have a meal with both families, what do you think?”

Shen Yan’s initial reaction was to refuse, but she swallowed her words upon meeting Qi Si’s dark gaze, “I don’t mind; it’s just that my schedule is tight.”

She felt guilty at the thought of enjoying the comforts the original owner of her life had in Beijing.

“If you don’t want to, you can just refuse.”

Qi Si could see she was somewhat reluctant.

Shen Yan shook her head, “I’ll check with Uncle Liu if there are any other engagements I need to attend to, then I’ll discuss the time to go back to Beijing with Mr. Qi.”

Qi Si observed her and deduced from her response that she wasn’t being forced this time.

After dinner, Qi Si contacted Liu Su to inquire about Shen Yan’s schedule, marking the first time he had taken such an initiative. Liu Su almost split his sides laughing, as if he’d caught a glimpse of a loving couple’s sickeningly sweet demeanor.

His efforts up to this point had not been in vain!

“Uncle Liu.”

Seeing Liu Su grinning like an idiot, Qi Si’s handsome brows nearly knitted together.

Liu Su quickly came back to the present, “There’s no urgent engagement to rush to, just the last season of a survival variety show I signed her up for. Director Li is already preparing for it, but the exact premiere date is still unclear.”

That meant Shen Yan was free for the time being.

Once Qi Si understood Shen Yan’s schedule, he had a plan in mind.

He nodded and instructed Liu Su to rest.

“Sir, are you looking into this to go on a honeymoon with Yanyan? Do you want me to arrange some surprises for Yanyan?” Liu Su, concerned that the emotionally detached Qi Si might not handle things well, feared he might bungle the surprise.

Liu Su had clearly forgotten about the romantic sea of flowers Qi Si had given Shen Yan just the day before.

Qi Si’s gaze fell lightly upon Liu Su.

Surprise?

More like a scare.

“It’s not a honeymoon.”

Liu Su’s face visibly deflated at a considerable speed.

Qi Si really lacked romance; I truly pity Yanyan!

Shen Yan was headed to her company to attend class today and saw Li Xu standing outside on the phone before she even entered the building.

Li Xu turned around and upon seeing Shen Yan, he raised his hand in greeting with a smile, then hung up the call and strode towards her.

Xiao Zhao, standing next to Shen Yan, hesitated about whether to leave.

Li Xu had already reached Shen Yan, “It’s rare to see you here at the company. Have your studies been quite demanding recently?”

“My coursework is even easier than surfing the net, not challenging at all,” Shen Yan evaluated the person before her. “I came here for the acting class; this teacher’s class is quite good—I’ve taken it before.”

“What a coincidence, I’m also here to learn,” said Li Xu with a smile, “shall we go in together?”

At the company, there was no need to worry about any paparazzi snapping unwanted photos, so when the two of them entered the lobby together and the busy staff saw them, they couldn’t help but turn their heads for another glance.

There was no denying it—the two of them really were a good-looking pair!

“Is the filming finished?”

Shen Yan nodded.

“President Kang asked me to pick up another variety show and he hopes I can persuade you to join in too,” said Li Xu, his gaze casually sweeping over her, “I didn’t expect you to have such clout in the company.”

Shen Yan glanced at him. “President Kang simply sees me as a student who also has a survival show pending, so he wanted to check my schedule, that’s all.”

Li Xu smiled. “When is the last episode of your survival show? If it fits, you might as well join me for the variety show.”

Seeing Li Xu so eager to get close to her, Shen Yan asked, “What kind of variety show is it?”

“It’s ‘Extreme Speed’,” Li Xu explained, “It involves some really thrilling events like racing and rock climbing… This time a lot of the Second Generation have joined in the investment. You know the Bai Family, right? They’re one of the investors. Even the racing track and cars have been prepared.”

It sounded particularly exciting and gimmicky!

The Bai Family!

Shen Yan’s eyebrows raised slightly, “Are the Bai Family the main investors?”

“It seems so. Media companies have been very hot for nearly a decade; they probably want a piece of the pie too,” Li Xu continued as he walked out of the elevator with Shen Yan. “The Bai Family is in the automotive industry and they have their own venue. It’s likely a move to leverage star power to promote their family’s business.”

Investing in it, not only would they make big money, but they would also get free advertising.

Quite a deal.

“I’ll consult with Uncle Liu before making a decision.”

Hearing the word “consider,” Li Xu knew he had almost persuaded her successfully.

*

On the way home.

Shen Yan brought up the matter to Liu Su.

Liu Su frowned deeply: “When you were in Yun Province, President Kang mentioned it to me just once, saying the show was too dangerous, so I refused. Why is he letting Li Xu talk to you about this? I’ve also mentioned the show to you before, but the previous events didn’t involve racing and such. Nowadays, young people don’t take human life seriously at all. Seeing those motorcycle stunts all over the internet, they just want to follow the trend, without considering the physical fitness of the stars.”

These kinds of variety shows, even if they signed huge insurance policies, were still frightening.

How many artists had skills like that?

The others weren’t a problem, but things like racing and skydiving were too dangerous.

Shen Yan said, “It’s just a live show; they probably won’t make it too difficult for artists. For such a show, there will be professional trainers to provide training for the artists in advance.”

Liu Su’s frown deepened.

Did Shen Yan want to participate, considering her words?

If Li Xu had not mentioned the Bai Family, she wouldn’t have considered doing the show, but that was the Bai Family, getting closer to the Bai Family meant getting closer to the Shen Family.

Shen Yan knew that her thoughts were somewhat laughable.

Yet she couldn’t control the urge to see just how happy the youngest two children could be in the care of those parents.

Once no better off than an insect hiding in the shadows, now that she had stepped back into the light, she always wanted to do something in return for the Shen Family.

Whether it was out of unwillingness or the desire to prove something.

She just wanted to get close and see how they would fare.

The incident in Yun Province also made her feel that there was already a spy from the Shen Family by her side.

If she didn’t take the offensive, she would inevitably follow the footsteps of her past life.

And besides…

As for the past life, she really had some unresolved feelings—after all, she wasn’t a saint. Her soul remained the same, how could she easily forgive!

Seeing Shen Feng and Shen Ning, Shen Yan even had fleeting dark thoughts.

To let their beloved two children taste the same bitterness she had, and then to watch helplessly as their son and daughter painfully perished right under their watch.

But reason told her that the couple was the real source of the trouble.
