Chapter 304: Chapter 299: Putting on the Ring Chapter 304: Chapter 299: Putting on the Ring Shen Yan just replied with “On the way home” to Qi Si.

Qi Si put down his phone, walked into the spacious and luxurious bathroom, and took a cold shower.

Still dripping wet, he picked up the phone again and dialed his assistant’s number, instructing, “Prepare to leave.”

Assistant: “Leave?”

Qi Si: “Return to the country.”

He dropped the statement coldly without caring what the assistant thought and hung up.

The assistant, who was in the midst of planning the next steps, felt depressed.

Mr. Qi’s tone was especially cold today, and it seemed he was slightly angry.

Over the past year or so, not just the assistant but others too had distinctly noticed the changes in Qi Si.

He had become somewhat more humanized, no longer that cold, AI-robot mode.

This was a good sign, but it also added many troubles to their protection efforts.

Every time they settled on something, it was suddenly cut off.

The following day.

Bai Group.

Reception room.

The person serving drinks came in and out, deliberately approaching Shen Yan to refill the warm water on the table, and even carefully washed and placed fruit next to her.

With just a side glance, Shen Yan could make the lady pouring water smile broadly.

Holding the script Bai Group had in hand, they were to sign the contract directly with Shen Yan.

The director cooperating with Bai Group was indeed Director Li, who had filmed “Stratagem Sage.”

At the moment, he was also sitting here with the producer and the person in charge from Bai Group.

Shen Yan’s role was decided upon directly; even if the director and producer objected, it was no use.

Knowing that Shen Yan was set as the female lead, Director Li and Producer Chen both breathed a sigh of relief.

Director Li was clear on Shen Yan’s acting skills, knowing she had the strength to take on the lead role.

Furthermore, the female lead in the script really did suit Shen Yan very well.

Whether it was acting skills or appearance, both met the best criteria, leaving Director Li and Producer Chen without any complaints—they were even very satisfied with the candidate Bai Group had pushed forward.

All three parties were very content, and the signing was smoothly completed.

“Shen Yan, I didn’t expect us to cooperate again so soon!” Director Li exclaimed with feeling.

“I’m honored to work with you again, Director Li!” Shen Yan shook hands with Director Li and said with a smile.

The door to the reception room was pushed open, and Bai Zhong appeared before everyone.

Bai Zhong scanned the situation inside the room and said, “Bai Group has arranged a luncheon for today, Director Li, Producer Chen, please grace us with your presence! If Shen Yan doesn’t have other engagements to rush to, please join us for a simple meal.”

With Bai Zhong personally giving the invitation, it would be somewhat improper for Shen Yan to decline.

Plus, with the unrestrained persuasion of Director Li and Producer Chen, Shen Yan followed them for lunch.

Bai Zhong had reserved a private room at a nearby upscale restaurant. Aside from their group, no other redundant people joined, and everyone ate to their heart’s content.

After finishing her meal, Shen Yan sat on the side listening to them discuss the male lead options; Liu Su took a phone call, came back midway and whispered something to Shen Yan.

The conversation in the private room came to a halt, and everyone looked towards Shen Yan.

“Sorry, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. Enjoy your meal,” said Shen Yan as she got up to leave.

Bai Zhong and the others did not insist on keeping Shen Yan, as they were almost ready to go as well.

Just as Shen Yan walked out, she saw someone getting out of a car parked nearby.

It was Chu Jinghe.

Running into Shen Yan here, Chu Jinghe’s face didn’t look too good.

His eyes when looking at people were somewhat grim, and the aura around him had changed due to his morose mood.

Chu Jinghe looked even worse than before.

“Shen Yan, did you come here to eat too?” Chu Jinghe, seeing her about to pass by, couldn’t help but speak up.

Shen Yan hummed a response, her pace unbroken as she continued walking forward.

Chu Jinghe followed her gaze, seeing a black Mercedes pull up, he couldn’t help but stare intently.

Through the front windshield, one could see half of the silhouette sitting in the back seat.

The Mercedes had just stopped when Shen Yan suddenly curved her beautiful smiling eyes, opened the car door, and cheerfully spoke to the person sitting inside.

That look, it was like that of lovers meeting!

Lovers?!

Chu Jinghe suddenly realized, a cold sneer flashing in her eyes.

So, she had caught Shen Yan’s tail.

She took out her phone and sneakily snapped a photo in that direction.

In the photo, Shen Yan with her brows and eyes bent was leaning over to talk to someone inside the car; due to the angle, Chu Jinghe only captured half a silhouette of someone sitting in the back seat.

But from the clothing, it was completely apparent that it was a man!

Combined with Shen Yan’s expression, one could make many speculations about who the person inside might be.

Chu Jinghe’s heartbeat sped up a bit as she quickly walked inside after taking the photo, fearing that someone might notice her little movement.

The distance was somewhat close; the picture was very clear.

If released online, it would definitely cause a sensation.

The thought of Shen Yan missing various opportunities because of this, facing an online scandal, brought her a surge of pleasure!

Shen Yan saw Qi Si, and the smile in her eyes spread even wider!

As she got into the car, she repeatedly asked, “Mr. Qi, why did you suddenly come back?”

Qi Si replied, “The matter has been dealt with.”

“Have you dined already, Mr. Qi?”

“I had some on the plane,”

“I didn’t eat much inside just now, and I’m still a bit hungry. Could Mr. Qi join me for some more?” Shen Yan asked with a smile.

Qi Si called Liu Su who was following behind and before he could speak, Liu Su took the initiative to say that Xinyu needed him for something, and the car had already turned around.

“Let’s go eat some home-cooked food,” Shen Yan didn’t wait for Qi Si to say which restaurant to reserve and spoke up first.

Qi Si told the driver a place.

Shen Yan’s mood became exceptionally good, sensing a tremble in her soul, she smiled and took out her phone to open Weibo. The hot search from last night had soared to first place.

Another soul ailment cleared, Shen Yan’s mood got even better!

Seeing Shen Yan’s still vibrant smile, Qi Si was infected by it too, feeling his body and mind relax together.

Even though neither of them spoke a word, the atmosphere was surprisingly good!

“Are you very happy?”

“Seeing Mr. Qi, of course I’m happy!” Shen Yan candidly expressed.

Qi Si was taken aback!

Realizing what she had said, Shen Yan’s face suddenly reddened.

She awkwardly wanted to explain something but then stopped.

Qi Si gazed at her with an exceptionally soft light in his eyes.

Just when Shen Yan was about to brush off her embarrassment, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye of Qi Si’s long and well-defined fingers wearing an elegant and dignified ring!

Shen Yan’s eyes widened slightly, feeling that Qi Si with the ring on was even more charismatic!

The one he had given her, she had put away because she was a public figure; even a small thing could be blown out of proportion, followed by a swell of rumors.

She knew he disliked being photographed, and if it was dug up, he would definitely have to face the media’s cameras.

She put hers away also considering both of their situations.

But now…

She saw a matching style of ring on his hand!

Noticing her gaze, the hand resting on his lap slightly lifted, the luster of the ring flickering past.

Shen Yan’s eyes smiled even more brightly, “Mr. Qi, I’m really very happy today!”

Qi Si was bewitched for a moment by the smile in her eyes, attracted by the vitality emanating from her…

Faced with such a beaming Shen Yan, all he could utter was a “Mhm.”

Staring at her smiling face, his heart tingled!

Then, Qi Si made a very impertinent move; his warm fingers touched her delicate and fair cheek, gently rubbing it with a flirtatious implication!

Feeling the ticklish sensation as his fingers grazed her cheek, Shen Yan was stupefied!
