After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 380: Chapter 375: I Married Him, He Has No Choice but to Recede Chapter 380: Chapter 375: I Married Him, He Has No Choice but to Recede Shen Yan opened her eyes and got up to find the person next to her already gone. Looking at the time, it was already after ten.

Walking out of the bedroom, Shen Yan saw the man working in the living room.

The man who was working seriously was very charming, and Shen Yan just stood by the door, staring at him blankly.

Qi Si’s movement paused, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Yan with fluffy hair and sleepy eyes, dressed very neatly in her pajamas that he had personally helped her into…

Qi Si’s gaze darkened a bit. He stood up, walked over to her, and raised his hand to rub the top of her hair. He felt that the person who had just woken up was soft and irresistible, making him rub it over and over again.

Shen Yan was still at an age as fresh as a flower, her cheeks full of collagen, and Qi Si couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her cheek.

“Tickles.”

Shen Yan reacted to him nibbling on her cheek and pushed him away.

“Time to eat?”

“What are we having today?” Shen Yan asked with a smile as she walked over and sat at the small table covered with a lid.

Qi Si lifted the lid before her, revealing some of Shen Yan’s all-time favorite dishes.

Shen Yan didn’t use to be picky about food, but since she had been with him, she had become more and more selective.

Shen Yan, eating the dishes she liked, smiled even more radiantly on her face.

Qi Si too set aside his work and joined Shen Yan for lunch.

“That movie is probably going to premiere around October first,” Shen Yan paused before continuing, “Director Li said we should take some time to support our own movie when we can.”

“Let’s go together once the date is set.”

Shen Yan blinked, staring at him in surprise, “Mr. Qi, you agreed?”

“Mhm.”

“I’ll arrange it once I confirm the time!” Shen Yan hadn’t watched the movie yet, and it would be with Qi Si. She suddenly felt very excited and even wanted to call Director Li to hurry up with the editing, submit it for review, and get it released as soon as possible.

After confirming that Qi Si would go watch the movie with her, the smile on Shen Yan’s face became even more dazzling!

Seeing Shen Yan happy, Qi Si’s mood also brightened!

“Mr. Qi, if you’re busy this afternoon, go ahead with your work. I’m going back to the Shen Family for a bit; I have an appointment with my family,” Shen Yan said.

“After the meal, I’ll have someone take you there.”

Shen Yan wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but meeting Qi Si’s deep black eyes, she nodded.

“Yanyan, where are we going?”

Shen Yan, concerned that Xiao Zhao would be bored alone in Beijing, called her to come along. Liu Su had gone to Beijing to visit Elder Qi.

Elder Qi lived near a scenic area, and it would take Liu Su some time to get there.

He couldn’t accompany Shen Yan on her outing.

“We’re going to my house.”

“Your house!”

Xiao Zhao immediately put on an excited expression, then became anxious, “Yanyan, I haven’t prepared a gift. It’s not good to visit empty-handed. Should we stop on the way, what does Aunt Gu like?”

… Shen Yan glanced at her sidelong, “No need, it’s not like a daughter-in-law is visiting.”

Xiao Zhao immediately realized her words were a bit awkward and laughed, “Then, then I won’t prepare anything.”

Xiao Zhao had met Gu Ting and had quite a long conversation with her, pretty much an old acquaintance.

Xiao Zhao thought that the Shen family was somewhat wealthy, but upon entering the affluent district and seeing the various villas lining up, she was stunned.

Just one look and you could tell it wasn’t your average wealthy family.

Could the Shen family be that extravagant?

“They’re here!”

As soon as the car stopped, Gu Ting smiled and came over to open the door; Shen Yan got out, followed immediately by Xiao Zhao.

“Xiao Zhao is here too!” Gu Ting, seeing Xiao Zhao, was still smiling warmly, without a hint of haughtiness that one would expect from a lady of a grand household.

Following Shen Yan into the Shen Family estate felt different from meeting on the set; given Gu Ting’s luxurious aura, Xiao Zhao didn’t dare to relax as he could at the filming site.

Gu Ting noticed Xiao Zhao’s restraint and said gently with a smile, “Yanyan has always been under your care, Xiao Zhao. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble!”

Xiao Zhao hurriedly waved his hands, flustered, “No, no, it’s my job. Besides, Yanyan also takes care of me. Honestly, I feel quite guilty… I’m being paid so much and haven’t done much. I really haven’t had much of a role to play…”

“No matter what, having you guys around makes me feel much more at ease. Come on in!” Gu Ting quickly ushered them inside.

Glancing at her daughter, Gu Ting noticed the ambiguous marks on her neck and was startled for a moment before her eyes flickered with realization.

Shen Yan adjusted her collar, “What’s wrong?”

“Is there something going on with Qi Si?”

“Yeah, he’s busy,” Shen Yan paused, then added, “We just separated.”

She added that last bit to prevent Gu Ting from worrying about their relationship or from harboring any misunderstandings about Qi Si.

Gu Ting kept smiling and said, “Your dad and brother are busy too. Today it’s just us at home. If it weren’t for your status, I would have taken you out for a walk. Oh, there’s a small gathering tonight with a few families; do you want to go with me?”

Such gatherings among prominent families were commonplace.

Many business deals were struck at these events.

“I won’t be going. I have dinner plans with Qi Si later.”

“That’s good; you young people should spend more time together to grow closer,” Gu Ting said, her eyes crinkling with joy.

“Your injury isn’t fully healed yet, so don’t drink too much,” Shen Yan added with concern.

“With your dad around, I wouldn’t be able to drink much even if I wanted to,” Gu Ting said with a hint of frustration.

Something came to Shen Yan’s mind, and she asked, “Has there been any movement from the Zhai Family recently?”

At the mention of the Zhai Family, Gu Ting’s expression turned grave, “Let’s not talk about the Zhai Family. The elders are always shielding the younger ones. At first, they showed some guilt, but as the standoff has dragged on, they now feel we’re being unreasonable and have started to counterattack behind the scenes, spreading unpleasant rumors. Tch. Their precious daughter from the Zhai Family has been such a problem, and yet they dare to criticize us for not letting it go. What’s wrong with the Shen Family for pursuing this matter? As precious as their daughter is to the Zhai Family, isn’t Yanyan precious to our Shen Family?”

Xiao Zhao, a few steps ahead, heard everything clearly.

He assumed it was a conflict between powerful families and didn’t dare to listen further.

Seeing that Shen Yan brought Xiao Zhao along, Gu Ting had already included Xiao Zhao as one of their own, so she didn’t hold back in her words.

“We should still be cautious with the Zhai Family,” Shen Yan said, her thoughts drifting to Qi Si and Zhai Hongshen’s relationship, which worried her.

After all, Zhai Hongshen was Qi Si’s close friend. If they really were pitted against each other because of her, would Qi Si firmly stand by her side?

Shen Yan frowned slightly with discomfort.

Gu Ting was aware of the relationship between Qi Si and that Zhai family member, and seeing Shen Yan’s reaction, she swallowed the words she was about to say.

“Your dad and your brother will handle everything, don’t worry too much. You must not let this affect your relationship with Qi Si,” Gu Ting paused, “If Qi Si truly stands with the Zhai Family, Yanyan…”

“He will stand by me,” Shen Yan’s eyes suddenly darkened, “Once I marry him, he won’t have the choice to back out.”

Shen Yan’s gaze and tone were cold and distant. The sudden assertive aura she emanated caused Gu Ting to be taken aback.

Gu Ting felt there was something off about her daughter. The sudden surge of darkness she perceived seemed odd.

In that moment, Shen Yan thought, she had given herself to him, and if Qi Si actually abandoned her for his brother, she might truly be unable to stop herself from killing Qi Si.

This fleeting, ominous thought was forcefully suppressed by Shen Yan, leaving her with a chill.

How could she have such dangerous thoughts?

The illusion of a psychological disorder weighed heavily on her in this moment, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She was slightly afraid.

No, she wasn’t sick.

It was just… possessiveness between spouses surfacing…
