Chapter 313: Chapter 308: The Sadness in Your Eyes Chapter 313: Chapter 308: The Sadness in Your Eyes Qi Si’s voice was faint, “It wasn’t you.”

“What wasn’t me?”

“Keep an eye on Beijing,” Qi Si instructed.

“I’m always watching, don’t worry. I just wanted to remind you that someone is probing into the Qi Family.”

“Thanks for letting me know.”

“…It’s really rare, you actually said thanks.”

Qi Si didn’t say much more to him, as neither of them were talkative. Once he had given the reminder, he hung up the phone.

Qi Si heard noise at the door and looked up, then put down the phone he had just picked up, his gaze burning into Shen Yan.

“Mr. Qi didn’t go out? Will accompanying me back interfere with Qi Si’s work?”

“All the evidence has been gathered; the driver will be severely punished.”

Shen Yan seemed a bit surprised, “I didn’t expect Mr. Qi would personally intervene in such a matter, I thought…”

“You are grieving for him.”

“I am not,” she had already explained.

Her distress was entirely due to various factors related to the incident.

The death of Li Xu.

Accustomed to seeing death, all she could muster was a numbed sense of forbearance.

She could face her own death with calm, naturally, Li Xu’s death wasn’t going to impact her greatly.

Thinking that Qi Si had comforted her with a kiss because of this misunderstanding made her feel helpless,

yet she enjoyed that intimate comfort at the time.

Although he didn’t offer flowery words of comfort, the movements of his body provided a comforting strength.

Qi Si approached her again, gazing at her.

Shen Yan felt a bit uncomfortable, “Mr. Qi, what are you looking at?”

“Yanyan, I don’t want you to show that expression to others.”

“That expression? What kind?”

Qi Si’s warm fingertips touched her cheek gently, sweeping across as his eyes held a profound depth, “There’s sorrow in your eyes.”

Qi Si’s handsome brows furrowed, he really disliked the expression Shen Yan showed.

Sorrow?

Was there?

Shen Yan touched her face, “Mr. Qi is mistaken.”

Qi Si stared at her.

Shen Yan, in a very calm tone, called his name.

Not as “Mr. Qi,” the feeling at that moment was very different.

“Perhaps I was mistaken.”

“I will go to mourn Li Xu,” Shen Yan said, “Mr. Qi, go ahead with your affairs. I will stay in Shen City and won’t go anywhere.”

“Shen Yan, you’re trying to get rid of me.”

“…”

“What are you planning to do?”

“Go to school.”

“You seemed rather impatient for me to leave a moment ago,” Qi Si blandly exposed her lie.

Shen Yan: “…”

It’s not good to have such a terrifying insight.

Qi Si wanted to ask her if she had been to the Tibetan Region.

But he knew he would get a denial.

“Xinyu will handle Li Xu’s matter cleanly; you don’t need to do anything,” because of her behavior, Qi Si dared not leave Shen City just yet.

The more Shen Yan wanted him to leave, the more he felt something was amiss.

Facing Qi Si’s dark eyes, Shen Yan only felt a tremendous pressure coming over her, making her scalp tingle.

Qi Si had guessed correctly, she really wanted to distract him to do what she had planned.

Qi Si had never been so forthright before; why was he so straightforward today?

Not giving her any face.

It really wasn’t like Qi Si’s usual style.

“Mr. Qi, Li Xu sent me some documents. Someone is trying to frame you…”

After locking eyes with Qi Si for a while, Shen Yan finally handed over the documents to him.

Qi Si understood instantly.

So Li Xu had chosen to send those documents to Shen Yan, no wonder she had that expression.

Did Li Xu trust Shen Yan so much?

“Didn’t he leave any other instructions?”

“No,” she deleted that phrase.

Since Qi Si had said that he had already settled Li Xu’s family, she felt there was no need for her to intervene.

If needed, she would lend a hand.

“Yanyan, your eyes don’t lie,” Qi Si lifted his hand to the back of her head, and the two suddenly drew very close.

Shen Yan thought he was going to kiss her again and took a slight step back.

Her eyes were slightly opened.

Seeing her reaction, Qi Si suddenly wanted to tease her.

But considering they were discussing serious matters, he restrained the thought.

If Shen Yan knew Qi Si harbored such prankish thoughts, she would certainly be astounded.

Because he said that, he blinked as he leaned in closer.

Was her acting really that bad, or was his insight simply too sharp?

Suddenly, their foreheads touched, and when they met, warmth sprayed onto her face, brushing past her eyelashes, tickling her.

Shen Yan was bewildered by his action!

“Mr. Qi? You’ve been very…”

“Very what?” Qi Si pulled back and asked.

“Nothing,” Shen Yan said somewhat gloomily as she took back her words, “I won’t do anything anymore, Mr. Qi. You can rest assured now.”

The person who had just pulled back suddenly lunged at her again. If she hadn’t known the man standing before her, she might have taken him down for his repeated assaults!

His actions were truly dangerous.

Shen Yan was left breathless from his kisses…

When Qi Si bit her ear, she suddenly snapped back to her senses.

This was the living room!

Servants could pass by at any moment.

Touching her itchy ear, Shen Yan stared at Qi Si with wide, surprised eyes.

The usually cold man was suddenly behaving perversely, which was terrifying.

Shen Yan suddenly felt like she didn’t recognize him.

Blushing yet blushing, Shen Yan still felt the need to warn him, “Mr. Qi, please never ambush me again, especially from behind. It’s very dangerous.”

Qi Si’s eyes gazed deeply into hers, intensified by the passionate kiss.

“Next time, I’ll notify you.”

“Ah?”

What notification?

“You promised me.”

“What?”

“Not to do anything. Just stay at home quietly.”

“…I know,” Shen Yan lowered her hand, somewhat sullenly.

Thinking him treating her like a child when telling her to stay at home quietly was odd.

Qi Si left.

Shen Yan quickly turned on her computer and opened Weibo.

Seeing the trending topics, her gaze cooled down.

Had she noticed Li Xu’s message in time from Beijing to Shen City, she could have made it.

She could have averted the tragic event as long as she were there.

But there were no ifs.

Shen Yan agreed not to create any more chaos for Qi Si and stayed home, editing long texts, presumably for a research project.

What mattered most to the base?

Of course, it was such research projects.

If they could announce good news faster than the base before their results were published, who knows if the research-obsessed couple would be so enraged they’d vomit blood?

Just the thought of it made Shen Yan’s research directions become clearer in her mind.

They would sacrifice her for their supreme status and more research power, only to be ultimate ruined by her hands. The taste must be more painful than killing them.

Their “selfless sacrifices” indeed garnered them high-level influence in the base and remarkable achievements, but such research completely lacked humanity, and Shen Yan despised it deeply!

The research project report in Shen Yan’s hands was sent out, and soon Professor Lin replied. Professor Lin called, unable to hide his excitement, “Shen Yan, is this true? Are you sure this research direction is correct and will yield results?”

“The drug for curing that cancer is in its testing stage, right? Professor Lin, the results for that should be out soon, too, right?”

“Of course, the second trial results will be announced next month at the latest! Shen Yan, you will have your name on the research institute’s wall of fame!” Professor Lin said with a laugh!

He couldn’t wait to start working on this project!

Shen Yan stared at the base blueprint she had created on her computer screen, a grim smile on her face, but her words conveyed joyful anticipation, “Really? Then I’m truly looking forward to it!”

Hearing this, Professor Lin on the other end was stunned!

Why did this tone sound disturbingly pleasant?
