After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 383: Chapter 378: Qi Si Lies! Chapter 383: Chapter 378: Qi Si Lies! “Can’t say?”

As Shen Yan hesitated for that moment, Qi Si’s gaze dimmed, and he felt a sense of suffocation inside.

It was a fact that Shen Yan hadn’t liked him before…

Even though Shen Yan had become so intimate with him, Qi Si found himself fearing gains and losses.

Previously, Qi Si had never thought that he would experience such feelings.

Since he had placed all his attention on Shen Yan, many worries had followed.

Shen Yan shook her head and said, “It’s not that I can’t tell you, it’s just that I don’t know how to start explaining to you.”

Qi Si’s expression eased, “Take your time. I’m listening.”

Shen Yan turned around to meet his dark eyes, which seemed hopeful, so she smiled and said, “Actually, I’ve been hiding that I’ve been in touch with the research institute in Beijing. Recently, when a project ran into problems, I had to pitch in and help everyone work hard on the next project for our honor.”

Surprise flashed through Qi Si’s icy eyes!

Then he gazed deeply at Shen Yan, as if seeing her for the first time. After a long while, his gaze softened, “So Yanyan is this impressive. I never noticed.”

Qi Si embraced her, pulling her close to his chest as his tender voice seduced Shen Yan.

Shen Yan blushed from the praise, “I’m not as impressive as you think; I’m just somewhat interested in these things. And it just so happens that I can be of help, so I accepted their invitation.”

Qi Si hugged her, fixing his gaze on the top of her hair, then pressed a kiss there, suppressing the dark currents in his eyes, “Don’t overwork yourself. Just do what you can manage.”

“I know.”

Shen Yan snuggled into his embrace, her face sporting a bright smile.

Qi Si held her even tighter, taking her by surprise, she allowed him to embrace her.

Shen Yan finished her washing up and saw Qi Si standing outside in the courtyard on the phone. From the window, she could see his sharp profile, and he seemed to be on a serious call.

Qi Si had received a call from home; his father was undergoing surgery again, which carried some risks.

As a son, he must be present tomorrow.

Shen Yan moved to the other side and started to blow-dry her hair. When it was half dry, the hair dryer was taken from her hand, and she was pulled forward; she sat on the sofa, bending half of her body into his embrace.

Strong, gentle hands tousled her hair and, as Shen Yan clutched the corner of his shirt, her eyes overflowed with smiles.

“I’ll need to make a trip to the hospital tomorrow,” Qi Si stopped the hairdryer and played with her hair a few more times before speaking.

“What happened?”

“My father is having surgery,” Qi Si said flatly as if the one undergoing surgery was not his father.

A slight stir in Shen Yan’s heart, “Do you need me to come with you?”

“No need, just rest well at home,” Qi Si stroked her freshly dried hair, his eyes gentle, “You would just be standing around if you went; they’ll understand.”

“What if I insist on going with you?” Shen Yan clutched his shirt and looked up at him.

“Do you want to go?”

“Yeah, I am the daughter-in-law of the Qi family, after all…” Shen Yan’s voice was soft.

Considering the woman before him, Qi Si’s eyes were tender, “And the research?”

“I’ll talk to the research institute.”

“Okay.”

Actually, Qi Si didn’t want to go either.

But the other person was his father, and he was the one in charge of the Qi family.

*

Late at night.

Shen Yan fuzzily opened her eyes and stretched out her hand to feel the spot beside her.

Empty.

“Qi Si?”

Shen Yan sat up, looked out the window, and saw no one. She didn’t sense Qi Si’s presence either.

In the middle of the night, he went out?

Shen Yan checked her phone, and there lay a message.

“Something came up, go to sleep first.”

Shen Yan stared at the message, dazed for a long while.

He knew he would wake up?

Somehow, Shen Yan suddenly remembered when she returned, Qi Si had asked where she went, and her own reaction when she responded.

Although it was subtle, she hadn’t paid much attention at the time.

Now, thinking back carefully, she felt there was something strange about it.

Thinking there might be some business trouble, Shen Yan lay back down, but then couldn’t fall asleep again for the rest of the night.

Was her admission into the research institute revealed too soon?

Would Qi Si suspect anything?

After all, the current her was very different from the previous Shen Yan.

Shen Yan’s mind was a bit muddled, so she simply got up, turned on her computer, and started to work on her coursework.

She was about to become a junior, and her credits were keeping up well.

Shen Yan played around for a while, then felt restless again and stood up, ran out to the yard to walk around while looking outside.

Qi Si had gone to meet with Chi Boyuan.

Someone inside was trying to seize the opportunity to cause trouble, and Chi Boyuan and Qi Si joined forces to suppress the other party.

They didn’t even need to guess to know whose handiwork it was.

“This situation never ends, and we suffer for it. The paperwork in the Tibetan Region is done, and I’ve formally transferred back,” Chi Boyuan said solemnly as he saw Qi Si out, bringing up the topic. “Pay more attention to Shen Yan.”

Qi Si nodded and got into the car.

At this point, dawn was breaking.

The road ahead was pitch-dark.

A small light was on inside the car, and the person beneath it was flipping through an old document.

The pages had turned somewhat yellow.

Qi Si looked over the introduction on it again and again, then slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, his feelings were indescribable.

There were some things he didn’t want to guess, even less to investigate.

Yet he had to investigate.

Because they now had a grudge with the base, and even if you don’t go looking for them, there would be contact.

His phone vibrated once.

Qi Si picked it up and opened an incoming document. It originated from Pasino Castle in Y Country.

Qi Si read through the content transmitted to his phone, glanced back at the document in his hand, and then put everything down, stretching out his hand to pull at the collar of his tieless shirt.

Shen Yan got down from the bed almost as soon as Qi Si returned.

“Mr. Qi? You didn’t come home all night. Is there perhaps a problem?”

Qi Si got out of the car and saw Shen Yan poking her head out, her eyes filled with concern for him.

Qi Si’s gaze softened, “There was a small oversight at the company, so I had to go handle it overnight. Why are you up so early?”

“I was worried because you weren’t home all night. It’s good that it’s nothing serious.” Shen Yan sighed in relief. “Do you want to rest a while before going to the hospital? What time is the surgery?”

“Nine o’clock.”

“Then you can still rest a few more hours,” as it wasn’t even six o’clock yet.

Qi Si set down his suit jacket, walked over, wrapped his arms around Shen Yan, and said hoarsely, “Together.”

“I…”

Qi Si had already picked her up and was walking toward the bed.

Qi Si just held her and fell asleep; there was nothing more. Shen Yan stared blankly at the ceiling, raised her hand to touch his head, her lips slightly pursed, her gaze gradually deepening.

Qi Si had lied!

Shen Yan set the alarm clock and closed her eyes to try to sleep, but her mind was exceptionally clear.

She didn’t regret telling him about her entering the research institute; she wasn’t the same Shen Yan as before, and it couldn’t have been hidden for long anyway.

Qi Si was so clever, with just a little recollection, the significant differences between the two would be apparent.

Shen Yan felt a tinge of unease in her heart…
