Chapter 104: There Were Too Many Eyes on Him

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: There Were Too Many Eyes on Him

The car drove out, and the dazed Shen Yan slowly retrieved her thoughts that had drifted in a strange direction.

Her gaze glanced.

It happened to fall on Qi Si’s lap...

Her mind uncontrollably wandered in a certain direction.

Shen Yan: "..."

She was acting a bit strange today too.

Shen Yan quickly withdrew her gaze, and Qi Si did not notice.

By the time Qi Si glanced at her, Shen Yan was already scrolling through Weibo on her phone.

Qi Si concentrated on his work again.

The atmosphere between the two was very quiet.

Shen Yan liked the quietness, it made her feel light-hearted!

Since entering that place, she had been in a state of tension.

Even though she later became stronger, she remained constantly on guard.

The ordeal made her heart pound violently every minute, every second.

She was somewhat grateful that she and Qi Si were in an arranged marriage, not having to maintain that precarious relationship of affection and kinship.

If blood-related family members couldn’t be trusted... then personal feelings were even more ridiculous.

Shen Yan’s phone slowly slipped onto the seat, and her eyes closed.

Qi Si, having finished his work, turned to see the sleeping person, the dim light from the window softly illuminating her jade-like white face, peaceful and serene!

There was no air conditioning in the car, it was a bit cold.

The next moment, Shen Yan was covered with a suit jacket.

The scent of Qi Si, fresh yet full of hormones, filled her nostrils.

Shen Yan opened her eyes.

She turned her head to look at the person beside her.

Qi Si was wearing only a shirt, the sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing a strong wrist.

Her gaze instinctively slipped from the sturdy wrist to his long fingers.

Qi Si had just sent a message, turned off his phone, and looked at Shen Yan, "Get off the car."

It was then that Shen Yan realized the car had stopped.

A bit confused, she responded with an "oh," removed the jacket he had draped over her, grabbed her phone, and pushed the door open to step out.

A gust of cold rain mixed with wind hit her face.

Liu Su, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly ran up with an umbrella, "Miss Shen!"

"Uncle Liu," Shen Yan nodded at Liu Su, then looked at Qi Si who emerged from the other side.

He wasn’t wearing a jacket.

As he came out, the rain hit his shoulders.

In that instant, it clung to the texture of his shoulder.

Shen Yan immediately thought of the stormy night when he easily lifted a middle-aged man with one hand and carried him over his shoulder.

His arm strength... was indeed impressive.

Turning away.

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.

That night she had focused her gaze on Qi Si too much.

*

Qi Si didn’t ask how Shen Yan’s conversation with Song Jinwei went, and they spent the night quietly.

The next morning, Shen Yan returned to campus.

It wasn’t Qi Si who sent her to school, but Liu Su.

Qi Si had left early.

He always seemed to have endless things to attend to.

Indeed.

Managing such a large family business, while collaborating with the Shen Family, many matters required his personal attention, making it a luxury to have spare time to go home for meals and sleep sometimes.

Liu Su noticed that Shen Yan was particularly silent today.

He wondered if she had an unpleasant encounter with Song Jinwei the night before.

"Miss Shen, you don’t need to worry about the Qi Family; on personal matters, sir actually has a lot of autonomy!"

If anything comes up, just talk to sir more!

Shen Yan was simply zoning out.

Hearing Liu Su’s words, she glanced sideways: "I’m not worried about the Qi Family."

Both she and Qi Si were adults.

They knew what they were doing.

"The live streaming of ’Life in the Courtyard’ went really well. When the edited replay airs later, it’ll surely bring another wave of popularity to you! The AIYA brand called two days ago."

"Is there a problem with that brand?"

"No problems, no! It’s good news; the two products you endorsed are in such high demand domestically that they are completely sold out in stores and online! Agel wants to renew your endorsement for another product!"

"Uncle Liu, please oversee it for me. If it can be accepted, then go ahead," Shen Yan calmly entrusted it to Liu Su.

Liu Su was a reliable agent, she trusted him.

Liu Su grinned broadly, "I will negotiate good terms with the AIYA brand!"

Endorsing another product would definitely raise the stakes.

"By the way," Shen Yan thought of something and said, "both the variety show and endorsement fees are with Uncle Liu, right?"

"The account Xinyu opened for Miss Shen is with me," Liu Su responded without needing Shen Yan to say much, knowing what to do: "I meant to hand it over to Miss Shen earlier. Since you mentioned it, I’ll return it to you tonight."

Shen Yan nodded.

She hadn’t considered spending money before, but things were different now.

She was living in a world of normal life, and money was a necessity.

*

Campus.

The moment Shen Yan appeared, she inevitably caused a stir.

Shen Yan was indifferent to this, ignoring it.

Lin Shuangxu felt overwhelmed by the attention, but Shen Yan remained calm, as if those prying eyes and photo-snapping people didn’t exist.

"Oh, there’s an international AIO competition coming up. It’s from March to April next year, and registration starts this month. I think with your skills, you totally should sign up. Even if you don’t win, it’ll add to your profile!"

Lin Shuangxu took out her phone and opened the online registration.

Shen Yan glanced at it and shook her head.

She had no plans to go abroad right now.

The domestic environment suited her better.

Moreover...

Every time going abroad was mentioned, she felt uneasy.

Seeing that Shen Yan truly wasn’t interested, Lin Shuangxu put her phone away.

She was about to say something when Ji Yao approached with a few classmates from the same department.

Their gaze fell on Shen Yan.

The people behind playfully called her Superstar!

Shen Yan couldn’t detect any malice from their teasing words.

She gave them a smile.

This smile almost charmed the hot-blooded young men to dizziness!

Even though Shen Yan dressed plainly and had no starry airs, this smile... was truly enchanting!

Ji Yao looked at Shen Yan and said, "Next weekend, we’re organizing a group hike. Join us. We, who stare at computers all day, need to exercise and improve our physical fitness!"

"Yeah, yeah! Shen Yan, come with us!"

"Without you, even hiking won’t be as fun!"

Lin Shuangxu glanced at Ji Yao and chimed in, "Shen Yan, you’ve been busy with show recordings and haven’t had time to nurture peer relationships. Take this opportunity to relax and bond with your classmates!"

The refusal was at the tip of Shen Yan’s tongue, but seeing everyone’s expectant expressions, she swallowed it back.

She nodded!

Everyone immediately smiled!

"Come on, let’s go to class!"

"Don’t crowd Shen Yan!" The girls around Lin Shuangxu were closer to Shen Yan, making the boys in the back envious.

They also wanted to be close to Superstar Shen!

*

The hiking plan was thus set.

When Shen Yan returned home, she saw Qi Si in the living room, dressed somewhat casually, talking on the phone. A cup of unfinished hot tea was beside him.

His shirt collar loosened by two buttons, revealing a portion of his firm chest...

Under the light in the room, a wild aura faintly emanated, but Shen Yan only saw his enticing aura.

His facial features were more defined and resolute than usual!

That gaze seemed as if it could sweep across a crowd at any moment, icy cold to the extreme!

What had happened?
