Qiao Xi was mercilessly driven out by Shen Yeyan. She watched helplessly as he slammed the door shut. Inside, he was furious like a trapped beast.
Shen Yeyan didn't answer the question before he left. However, Qiao Xi suspected that he had someone he liked before, but was unable to come into contact with the pain.
In the room, Shen Ye raised his hand angrily to flip the vase. The floor was a mess, and he seemed to be unable to control his emotions as he kicked the chair.
Panting heavily, he lifted up his hands and abruptly closed his eyes in pain. His mind was filled with Qiao Xi's words. In the future when you meet the woman you love, you won't even have the courage to hold hands.
He suddenly remembered the time when Qiao Xi fell on the ground in the hotel in the middle of the night. He could only watch from afar and couldn't even stretch out his hand.
Shen Yeyan desperately wanted to get rid of this memory, but he couldn't. He kept torturing himself in his mind. He didn't know why it was all Qiao Xi's shadow. Was it because she was the only woman by his side recently?
Qiao Xi stood outside the house for a while, then went downstairs to find Uncle Liu as she listened to the sounds coming from inside.
"Mister is losing his temper. Miss Qiao, it's best if you don't disturb him."
"But …"
"Teacher knows his limits and won't hurt himself."
Uncle Liu had been in the Shen family for many years and had watched Mr. Shen grow up. In the past, he was not like this. Afterwards, he slowly experienced something and became like this.
He was easily irritable and had a bad temper. He had noticed that the young masters would occasionally provoke him.
Qiao Xi went upstairs hesitantly. There were no sounds coming from inside. She returned to her room full of worry.
She hadn't slept well last night because of Shen Yeyan's incident. She lay on her bed, tossing and turning, and felt that she must do something about it.
The next morning, Shen Ye An walked down the stairs with a sullen face. Qiao Xi specifically said that he would stay at home today. He nodded in agreement and left after breakfast with a slightly tired expression.
After he left, Qiao Xi followed him to the old mansion.
This was the second time she came to the old house. The taxi stopped in front of the entrance, and she slowly walked along the tree-lined path.
The area of the house was wide, and the front garden was arranged in an orderly manner. Qiao Xi passed by a small garden with lush trees at the side and saw Jiang Ying and a young man kissing. She was shocked and hastened her steps to leave.
The more he knew in the Wealthy Class, the faster he would die.
The old man was wearing a Taiji suit and standing at the door. He had a bit of white hair and looked like an immortal.
"Miss Qiao, come in."
The old man knew that she had come today for Shen Yenan, so he specially paid her respects.
Being warmly received, Qiao Xi sat on the wooden chair in a neither humble nor haughty manner.
The old man wiped the sweat off his face and walked over. He placed his sword to the side and said, "Miss Qiao, Ye An's better condition recently was all thanks to you."
"Old Mr. Shen, I have a request today that I hope you can agree to."
"Go ahead."
After Qiao Xi finished saying his request, Old Man Shen lowered his eyes in contemplation. He frowned for a long time before he asked a question.
"Are you confident?"
"I don't dare to say how old it is. I can't think of a better way, so I might as well try more."
With his grave hands behind his back, the old man paced to the window.
Ye An's condition had been repeated for many years, and in order to cure it, he had exhausted all of his energy. He searched countless good doctors around the world, but didn't get a cure. It even made him feel more disgusted.
He was not young anymore, he was already old enough to get married and have children. The Shen family needed children, and even more so, they needed his marriage as the family's foundation.
Ever since Qiao Xi's treatment, things had improved a little. There was still a long way to go before he could be cured.
"I agree to Miss Qiao's request just now, but you have to make sure that nothing will happen to him."
"I understand."
"Well, thanks a lot."
The old man looked at Qiao Xi who had his eyes lowered. The little girl was young and had a delicate face like a flower. He hoped that his decision from the start had not been wrong.
When Qiao Xi came out of the old house, he purposely avoided Jiang Ying.
She took a taxi back and told Uncle Liu about the matter. At first glance, Uncle Liu was very worried.
"Is that okay?"
"Don't worry, Old Master Shen is right."
With Old Man Shen protecting Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi was not afraid in the slightest.
It was rare for Shen Yeyan to get off work early in the evening, so he sat in the car and called Gu Yunfan.
Gu Yunfan currently held a girl in his arms. He patted her on the thigh and walked away, holding a cigarette in his mouth as he walked towards the window.
"How have you been recently?"
"Keep an eye on him. Don't worry."
"This person is crafty, don't be careless."
"Brother, are you serious this time?"
Shen Yeyan hung up the phone and Gu Yunfan laughed heartily with the cigarette in his mouth. His style was completely different from the previous Shen Yeyan. How could there be so much trouble here? Gu Yunfan felt a little apprehensive.
As the car drove into the courtyard, Qiao Xi heard the sound of an engine running downstairs. Shen Yeyan entered the house gracefully, his shiny leather shoes stepping on the soft carpet. When he saw Qiao Xi hurrying downstairs, his black eyes lit up, while his mouth curled up in a gentle smile.
The sharp aura around his body dissipated, and he tore his tie from his neck.
Qiao Xi walked in front of him with small steps and took the tie from him. She looked at him with a curved face and her eyes sparkled like crystal. "Mr. Shen, you're off work early today."
"Yes, let the kitchen prepare dinner."
After saying that, Shen Yeyan suddenly saw two maids dressed in the same uniform downstairs. His soft eyes instantly turned sharp like a roaring sea and instantly turned stormy.
The changes on his face entered into Qiao Xi's eyes as he quickly explained, "The old man has agreed."
His sharp eyes swept across the room, and even his chest rose and fell rapidly. His thin lips pursed into a line as he said, "Uncle Liu, get them out of here immediately."
Uncle Liu stood aside without a word and just handed the phone over.
When Shen Yeyan heard the old man's voice, he frowned coldly and said, "Tell your men to quickly get out of here."
It was unknown what was said on the other end. The originally high-spirited Shen Yeyan instantly deflated like a deflated balloon. The flames slowly died down before he slammed his phone down onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Qiao Xi stood there without moving and let him get angry. On the other hand, the two new maids were so scared that they hid in the corner and shivered, not daring to even look with their heads lowered.
Shen Yeyan stepped on his phone and aggressively went upstairs.
Qiao Xi comforted the two maids, "It's alright, do what you need to do."
