Chapter 388: Chapter 383: Sweet! Chapter 388: Chapter 383: Sweet! Shen Yan stood in front of the glass window, bending over slightly, her eyes fixated on the dazzling array of exquisite candies inside.

Beside her, several children were tugging at their parents’ hands, pointing at the candy inside and clamoring to buy some with eyes full of anticipation.

The parents made deals with their children, they could not buy too much or eat too much, only then did they happily take their hands and proceed inside.

The candy store was quite large, with a complete range of candy series, and the interior decorated with candies was also very eye-catching!

Shen Yan was captivated!

Seeing the children enter the store empty-handed and then come out holding candy with faces full of happiness, Shen Yan’s eyes were filled with envy.

These scenes suddenly touched on certain images in her memory.

Shen Yan raised her hand, resting it on the glass showcase, her eyes flickering with something sorrowful.

Because she was aware of her own differences, she seldom showed her fondness for some “childish” things, as the eldest one, she also suppressed many things she liked.

When her parents took her younger brother and sister out, she was always the one left behind at home.

Her younger siblings were better at acting spoiled, her parents thought she was gloomy, not good at saying pleasant things, not good at pleasing people…

Now she could say pleasant things, and she could also please people at certain specific times.

Unfortunately, she no longer needed to maintain that kind of kinship.

Shen Yan withdrew her hand, her gaze dimmed.

Just as she was about to leave, her hand was suddenly grasped by a large one!

Shen Yan looked up sharply, meeting a pair of warm, black eyes.

“Qi…”

“Come with me.”

Qi Si took her hand and led her into the candy store.

“Welcome!”

The sales assistant smiled sweetly!

Like bunches of sunshine, the sweetness hit her face.

Shen Yan’s hand, tightly held, the warmth spreading, dispelling the cold in her hands.

Shen Yan looked down, her eyes falling on their tightly clasped hands.

Suddenly, she felt a twinge of acid in her eyes.

“Deliver these here, and also wrap up a bouquet of candy flowers.”

The magnetic voice echoed in the candy store that afternoon, leaving the staff dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, they were starry-eyed, taking a measure of this extraordinary man, then suddenly hearing him say such a thing, they were perplexed.

“Sorry sir, could you please repeat that?” the attendant asked again for confirmation.

It was then that Shen Yan came back to her senses and quickly stepped forward: “No, that’s not what he meant, just a bag is fine! No need for too much.”

Qi Si had the wealth to buy her a candy house, but she did not have the capacity to eat an entire candy house.

To Qi Si, a candy house was nothing at all.

Shen Yan gripped his hand back, “Mr. Qi, you’re not afraid of spending money, but I’m afraid of getting cavities.”

Seeing Shen Yan’s curved brows and smiling eyes, Qi Si felt his anxious heart suddenly drop.

That lonely and sad figure from moments ago had caused his heart to ache deeply.

It wasn’t until this moment that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Do as she wishes, pick the best.”

The assistant hastened to act!

Another wrapped up a large bouquet of candy flowers and handed it to Shen Yan.

Seeing the beautiful bouquet of candy flowers, Shen Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened!

But Qi Si was the first to take it, then personally placed it in her hands.

Shen Yan smiled as she received it: “Thank you, Mr. Qi! I really like it!”

“Hmm.”

Shen Yan’s smile, as sweet as honey, struck Qi Si, lifting his spirits.

Shortly after, the attendant also packed the store’s best and most expensive large bag of candies and handed it over to Qi Si, who swiped his card to pay.

Shen Yan, holding a bouquet of candy flowers wider than herself, smiled with curved eyes holding Qi Si’s hand as they walked out.

Passersby were instantly infected by the sweetness emanating from her!

Several couples cast glances in their direction, and after a moment’s hesitation, they too followed into the candy store.

Shen Yan looked up at Qi Si with a beaming smile and suddenly remembered something, “Mr. Qi, why are you here? Weren’t you going back to the office to work?”

Qi Si was carrying over twenty pounds of candy in one hand while holding Shen Yan’s hand in the other.

“The problem has already been resolved.”

Qi Si released her hand, then picked out a piece of candy from the bag, peeled off the wrapper, and held it to Shen Yan’s lips.

Shen Yan turned to the side, pulled down her mask, revealing her beautiful face, bit the candy following Qi Si’s motion, pulled up her mask again, and with a smile in her eyes that fell upon him, she said, “It’s very sweet!”

Qi Si watched the smiling eyes, his throat slightly moved, his eyes a shade darker.

“The research is over?”

“We unexpectedly had a day off today…” Shen Yan paused, realizing that her oppressive mood had scattered instantly after Qi Si’s appearance.

He was like the sunlight illuminating the darkness in her heart, allowing her to see the sunlight again.

“I was wondering, it turns out you ran into Shen Yan.” Wang Jue glanced outside several times, finally seeing the two figures emerging, he clicked his tongue, “Flaunting their love right in front of us.”

Chi Boyuan’s gaze was complex. Hearing Wang Jue’s words, he turned to look at him, “Your family has introduced you to quite a few, you can do the same.”

Wang Jue’s face twisted.

He was stabbed out of nowhere.

Shen Yan saw the other cars stopped behind them, blinked, and said, “Mr. Qi, are you going to work? Don’t worry about me, I can just take the research institute’s car back.”

Receiving Qi Si’s bouquet of candy, she was very satisfied!

“No problem,” Qi Si said.

“Can I come along?” Shen Yan’s eyes lit up again.

“Um.”

Shen Yan followed Qi Si into the car, and only when they sat down did they let go of each other’s hand.

Shen Yan looked at the big bag of candy at her feet, pulled down her mask, and revealed a sweet smile, “Mr. Qi, you are really nice!”

Seeing how easily satisfied she was, Qi Si raised his eyebrows slightly, then he took off her baseball cap and kissed her across the bouquet of candy.

Shen Yan almost swallowed the hard candy in her mouth.

Qi Si raised his finger to touch his lip, “Sweet.”

“…”

Qi Si’s actions were too flirtatious, causing Shen Yan’s face to suddenly flush red.

She quickly wiped her face.

Qi Si was getting naughtier.

“Mr. Qi didn’t used to do this kind of thing…”

Qi Si’s large hand rested on her head, gently stroking, “Don’t you like it this way?”

“It’s not that,” Shen Yan was quite embarrassed.

Qi Si didn’t work in the car anymore, ignoring even the ringing of his phone, holding Shen Yan’s hand and watching her happy smile.

He didn’t like the oppressive moment he had witnessed before.

It hurt his heart too much.

Qi Si was watching her; Shen Yan knew.

She liked his gaze lingering on her, it gave her the illusion that Qi Si’s entire world only had her in it!

The business deal between Qi Si and Wang Jue was somewhat special. Shen Yan was aware of what Chi Boyuan’s identity entailed, so seeing Chi Boyuan following them raised some questions in her mind.

As Qi Si and Wang Jue entered the large warehouse in Jing District, Chi Boyuan clarified for Shen Yan, “Their business has some connections with my superiors. Because we have a good relationship, they sent me to follow and receive the goods.”

Shen Yan immediately understood.

It must be a business deal involving internal equipment.

Shen Yan didn’t want to disturb them; she found a spot to sit down, flipping through the candies in her pocket, peeled one, and popped it into her mouth, then she contacted Professor Lin and the others.

After learning that the gathering was postponed until tomorrow, Shen Yan paused for a moment but still expressed her intention to attend.

They were willing to postpone, perhaps due to someone’s wishes.

Was that person so eager to see her?

Little did she know, it was Vice Dean Shao playing the “big shot” and pushing it off until tomorrow.

Chi Boyuan noticed Shen Yan’s actions, paused, but still approached her.

Shen Yan looked up at him, “Captain Chi?”

“It’s nothing,” Chi Boyuan suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked away.

He just suddenly remembered some details about the Tibetan Region incident, and he developed some doubts about Shen Yan…
