C45 White Play

Tonight's birthday banquet made Qiao Xi very angry. Jiang Ying's suppression and Shen Ye Ling's probing were not all comfortable.

She went down the stairs. While dancing downstairs, she walked in the direction of the food. She took a plate and filled it with some food. Suddenly, she heard some people behind her whispering.

"Do you see that? It's that poor girl in front who was brought out by Shen Ye An today."

"Don't worry, it's definitely just for fun. The Shen family wouldn't let a woman like her marry into their family."

"I didn't see that Mrs. Shen was trying to intimidate her just now. At most, it was all for nothing."

"Even if it's a waste, they are still willing to try and get some benefits."

"..."

Qiao Xi gritted his teeth and pretended that he didn't hear the chattering of the people behind him. He was about to eat something and get ready to go up when he suddenly heard a low and suppressed voice from behind him.

Qiao Xi turned his head. When those misses saw Shen Yeyan, they were immediately at a loss as to what to do. They knocked over their plates and drinks.

One moment, they were saying bad things behind his back, the next second, it was broken. Although Shen Yeyan didn't say anything, his sharp gaze swept over them, causing them to be unable to show their face.

"I'm sorry, Mister Shen."

"I don't think I'll be able to entertain you tonight."

The young girls were extremely red in embarrassment. They wanted to get closer but were afraid. All of them fell into Shen Yeyan's disgusted eyes. He lifted his leg and walked forward, purposely lowering his voice.

"It's not to stop you from running around."

Qiao Xi was in a bad mood and didn't even give him a look. Shen Ye's mouth was full of words and his heart was filled with worry. He couldn't help but soften his voice.

"Since you're done eating, come with me."

"Where to?"

"You want to stay here?"

Qiao Xi couldn't wait to leave as soon as possible. She seemed out of place in the face of all the extravagance. In addition to that, she was feeling even more depressed in the face of all the gossip.

"Have you chosen?"

"Choose what?"

Qiao Xi looked at him in understanding. "You don't like so many daughters of the Wealthy and Prominent Class?"

Shen Yeyan's face darkened as he stared at her with his black eyes. With a heavy voice, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who told you that?"

"I'm not blind."

Shen Yeyan was even more displeased. "It's nothing."

His marriage was left to his mother, and the Shen family couldn't do anything to him.

"If Shen Ye Ling were to tell you, remember not to believe anything he says in the future."

However, even if Shen Ye Ling told him, Qiao Xi wouldn't point it out.

Just as Shen Ye An was about to lead her out of the arena, Jiang Ying saw her walking through the crowd from afar. When Shen Ye An saw her, his expression became even gloomier.

"Good night, the banquet hasn't ended yet."

"That is your banquet."

The smile on Shen Jingbin's mother's face stiffened, as she couldn't afford to lose her temper in public.

"It's your mother's birthday today. Even as a son, you can't give her any face?"

"I'm giving you face, but you're giving it to me?"

Mother Shen immediately looked towards Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi was welcoming her with a straight face and was not afraid of his shadow slanting.

"Ye An, I hope you can understand the feelings of a mother."

"Your eldest son enjoys it so much that you can't see it?"

It just so happened that Shen Ye Ling was also walking over from afar. After he walked over, he held Jiang Ying's arm and the two of them stood together. It was impossible to tell that they were mother and son.

Qiao Xi looked at Jiang Ying and then looked at Shen Yiling. Shen Yeling looked different from the people from the Shen family. She slowly had a premonition in her heart.

"Brother, are you leaving?"

Shen Ye An raised his eyes and replied, "Big Brother, did you reap something today?"

"Thank you, second brother, for your concern, but I can't force you to do anything regarding our relationship."

"Then Big Bro will have to work hard."

"Second brother must also work hard. Grandpa and mom are both waiting to carry our grandson."

"I won't trouble you, Big Brother."

Jiang Ying was someone who cared about face. He didn't want others to mock him at the Shen family, so he turned his body away.

"Ye An, come with me and say hello before leaving."

She had already compromised. Shen Yeyan turned around and instructed Qiao Xi to go to the car park first.

Walking out of the banquet hall, he felt a refreshing breeze blowing against his face.

She carried her skirt and walked past the fountain. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. She turned her head and saw Xu Yi Cheng running over from a distance, staring at her fiercely.

Qiao Xi's scalp tingled. He didn't want to meet him at all. He lifted his skirt and was about to run to the parking lot when Xu Yicheng, who had run over, was suddenly grabbed by a few black-clothed men who followed him, pressing him to the ground.

Everything happened too fast, so Qiao Xi was not prepared at all. Xu Yi Cheng had already been forcefully dragged away, and she looked in the direction they left with disbelief written all over her face.

When Shen Yeyan came out, the shock and panic on Qiao Xi's face had yet to dissipate. There was still a hint of panic in his eyes.

"What are you looking at? "I'm leaving."

Qiao Xi remembered those men in black. Shen Yeyan had actually sent someone to follow Xu Yicheng when she was unaware. The gratitude in Qiao Xi's heart instantly soared to her chest.

"Thank you for today."

He thought he was talking about the banquet and raised his eyebrows confidently, "In the future, I will protect you and no one will dare to gossip."

Qiao Xi didn't correct him and nodded before leaving with him.

Today, Shen Yeyan was in good shape. After returning home, he changed his clothes to treat his wounds.

The kitten sat on Shen Yeyan's knee, while the man had a look of disdain on his face. He didn't want to touch the cute little fellow.

Qiao Xi handed over the questionnaire for him to fill out. After he finished, she carefully read it and took the kitten, making him lie down flat on the chair.

Shen Ye An was quite cooperative today. He had already laid down obediently, his hand naturally resting on the armrest.

"Let's begin."

"Alright, Mister Shen, try your best to remain calm. Take a deep breath, breathe in and out with me …"

Qiao Xi was making him calm down. Shen Ye An frowned at the beginning and gradually followed her. His eyes were calm and his posture was relaxed. His eyebrows gradually relaxed.

"Do you feel very comfortable now, and your brain is empty, so don't think about anything else."

"Miss Qiao, are you going to hypnotize me?"

"No, you're thinking too much."

Shen Yeyan smiled with her lips raised. Qiao Xi's eyes suddenly showed a trace of a ruffian look. She suddenly pulled over a chair and slowly approached him, her almond-shaped eyes slightly blinking.

"Right now, I am only 10 centimeters away from you. What do you think?"

Shen Ye An tilted his head and caught a glimpse of her hairy head. The distance between the two of them was almost one punch, and the hot air that she exhaled gushed out onto his skin. His pupils violently contracted, but his body didn't move.

"Miss Qiao, what are you planning to do?"

"Are you nervous?"

Shen Yeyan, who cared about face, would never admit it. His face suddenly moved to the side.

"You'd better not force the treatment."

"I'm testing your safety range."

"I don't think this distance is safe at all."

"But can you hold on?"

Qiao Xi wrote down the answer on a piece of paper and crossed out the answer written by Shen Ye An. The same thought from before continued to surface in her mind.

"Mr. Shen, I suggest that you have some women around you, such as at home or in the office."

"Absolutely not."

She was just a single woman. If she was treated to the end, he would just no longer reject himself, and would still reject other women. This kind of treatment would be considered a failure.

"Teacher Shen, your family wants you to recover quickly and return to normal life. Could it be that you want to live like this forever, and when you meet your beloved woman in the future, you won't even have the courage to hold her hand, let alone touch her in other ways. Even if she falls, you won't be able to carry her."

Qiao Xi placed herself in front of him and thought about him. Unknowingly, his sensitive nerves had been stepped on. Shen Yeyan, who was originally lying on the chair, suddenly stood up and shouted with a sullen expression, "Get out, now!"

His face was full of anger, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. He was far away from her, angry, and his eyes stared at her like an eagle's.

Qiao Xi was full of doubt: "Have you ever liked someone before?"
