After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 321: Chapter 316: Cough cough cough… Chapter 321: Chapter 316: Cough cough cough… Shen Zheng looked at the approaching Shen Yan and lifted his chin slightly, “So what happened? There was no conflict with you, right?”

“Coincidentally,” Shen Yan grabbed a bottle of water placed beside her and drank half of it as she tilted her head back.

“Let’s go,” Gu Ting said, seeing that the group was also packing up their tennis rackets, and bade the siblings farewell.

Shen Zheng picked up the balls and two rackets, walked over to the storage area, and put them away. The staff here would organize them later.

The family of three walked out, with Zhai Hongshen and others following a step behind as they exited.

At lunchtime, everyone packed up their balls and rackets, leaving one after another.

Outside the tennis courts, there was an accessible road where they immediately saw a black sedan parked upon coming out.

Standing beside the sedan was a tall and slender figure—Qi Si!

He had just finished a phone call, putting his mobile in his pocket, and looked up to meet Shen Yan, who was striding eagerly toward him.

There was a vivid laughter in Shen Yan’s eyes; that radiant gaze accelerated Qi Si’s heartbeat by several beats. His Adam’s apple bobbed and something turbulent flowed in his gentle eyes.

Qi Si almost reflexively lifted his hand to loosen his somewhat tight tie, casting aside the scene from last night that lingered in his mind.

“Mr. Qi!”

“Uh-huh.”

Qi Si looked up at Gu Ting and Shen Zheng behind her: “Mother-in-law, big brother.”

Gu Ting lifted her smile.

Shen Zheng: “…”

Shen Zheng really didn’t adapt to it.

Qi Si was three or four years older than he was, and this address of “big brother” made him feel somewhat life-shortening.

And awkward.

But Qi Si assumed such a matter-of-course serious look that Shen Zheng didn’t feel it was appropriate to say anything.

“Yanyan said you’d be specially coming over to dine with us; we’re all delighted! Shall we go now or wait a bit?” Gu Ting asked.

Qi Si’s gaze fell on Shen Yan.

Naturally, he wouldn’t say that he specifically came over to accompany Shen Yan for the meal—it was the Shen Family he was joining by chance.

After parting like that last night and separating hastily in the morning, as he sat in his office, images of her constantly filled his mind. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he came over.

“Let’s go over now, Dad?” Shen Yan asked Shen Zheng.

“He’s waiting over there in the restaurant,” Shen Zheng glanced at the two.

This unconscious action of Qi Si to consult Shen Yan was something Shen Zheng had witnessed back in Hai City.

However, seeing the two’s interaction again still seemed magical and surprising to him.

“Qi Si.”

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a voice come from behind, catching up quickly—it was Zhai Hongshen calling him.

Qi Si turned to look in that direction, seeing Zhai Xilan sitting in the wheelchair, devoid of any ripples in his eyes.

It was as if the person seated there was merely a stranger.

Zhai Xilan’s knuckles turned white as she clenched the wheelchair’s armrest, eyes fixed intently on the handsome man she hadn’t seen in a long time.

Qi Si still made her heart tremble.

Even though her injuries had been caused by him, she still couldn’t bring herself to hate him.

Seeing Qi Si, all Zhai Xilan felt was an infinite sense of grievance, wanting to ask him in what ways she was inferior to Shen Yan, and why he had to be so ruthless to her just for Shen Yan. Wouldn’t it be better if Shen Yan were dead? After all, from the beginning, he never intended to marry Shen Yan.

If she had succeeded, she would have been doing him a huge favor.

But she couldn’t voice these words; all she could do was watch Qi Si with reddened eyes, appearing pitiful and evoking sympathy.

Catching sight of Zhai Xilan staring at Qi Si with such a poignant and injured gaze, Shen Yan casually stepped forward, indifferently observing her.

“Are you all going to dine over there? Perfect, why don’t we join you?” Zhai Hongshen tentatively asked.

Shen Zheng and Gu Ting looked at them with subdued expressions, waiting for Qi Si to speak.

If Qi Si nodded, they would immediately pull Shen Yan away and leave.

“Qi Si, it’s rare to bump into each other here, and since we all know one another, it wouldn’t hurt to sit down for a meal together, right?” Qi Ran chimed in with a smile, her eyes sweeping across Shen Yan’s figure with or without intent.

She was deliberately looking to stand up for her good friend.

Shen Yan turned her head to look at Qi Si.

Qi Si ignored the eager gaze of Zhai Xilan, his tone as cold as devoid of any emotion, “This is a family dinner.”

The meaning of that was quite clear.

Outsiders should not meddle.

This was a family dinner; they did not want outsiders to disrupt it.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ting stepped forward with a smile, “We have elders here, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for young people to join in. Yanyan, let’s go ahead; we should also let Qi Si have a word with Mr. Zhai.”

Shen Yan hummed in agreement and followed Gu Ting, ready to leave.

Qi Si took a long stride and followed behind as well.

The restaurant was not far away, just a few minutes’ walk, so they planned to go on foot.

The building was visible at a glance; with so many people around, it was not suitable to drive there.

Their driver went ahead with the car, leaving them to walk slowly behind.

Zhai Xilan, pushing the wheelchair, did not take her eyes off Qi Si’s figure.

Shen Yan glanced back at Qi Si, who was walking behind, with a flash of amusement in her eyes.

She was very pleased with Qi Si’s behavior.

Qi Si’s gaze stayed on her, and when she turned to look at him, his gaze collided with her smiling eyes.

Seeing the young couple exchanging glances, Gu Ting was somewhat shocked!

She really had seen it all.

Just now, she had stolen a glance and was startled by the tenderness in Qi Si’s eyes.

So, when a man like him showed tenderness, it was fatally attractive!

Thankfully she was married and had her own lover. If she had been born twenty or thirty years later, she would have definitely been captivated by this young man.

Gu Ting seemed to understand why Zhai Xilan was so crazy about Qi Si—this young man was too charming!

Gu Ting slowed her pace and saw Shen Yan step ahead alone; Qi Si’s tall figure unobtrusively took Gu Ting’s place.

Shen Zheng glanced at his mother beside him with a hint of helplessness.

Gu Ting reached out to tug at her son’s clothes, signaling him to quickly look at the pair ahead.

Qi Si was very close, his long legs keeping pace with hers as much as possible.

Shen Yan sneaked a glance at him, “Mr. Qi, about last night, I wasn’t…”

“Ahem!”

Gu Ting was so startled that she hastily coughed.

Daughter, your mom and brother are only three steps behind you. Topics about married life are better discussed behind closed doors.

Shen Zheng cast a glance at his esteemed mother, using his eyes to ask what was wrong.

Gu Ting’s eyelid twitched as she glared at her son.

A single dog who’s not married doesn’t know squat.

Shen Zheng: “…”

Although Shen Yan hadn’t completed her sentence, Qi Si still knew what she wanted to say.

“Yeah, I know. I was too impulsive, I frightened you.”

“No,” Shen Yan paused upon hearing his apology, then lowered her gaze, her face slightly warm, “I wasn’t frightened.”

“Oh?”

Her voice was so soft that Qi Si barely heard it.

Shen Yan looked up at him and said, “I said I wasn’t frightened. Next time, don’t take cold showers, it’s not good for the health.”

Qi Si fixed his deep black eyes on her without speaking, making Shen Yan’s heart flutter uneasily.

What, what’s wrong?

Had she said something outrageous again?

Qi Si replied in a serious and stern tone, “Can’t help it.”

Shen Zheng, a single dog, was profoundly shaken, his mouth twitching speechlessly, and a vein on his forehead pulsing slightly.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem…”

Gu Ting coughed as if suddenly struck by some throat disease, coughing as if her lungs were about to come out.
