Chapter 672: 658, Get out of here right now (2)_1 Chapter 672: 658, Get out of here right now (2)_1 The fleeting longing in his eyes was caught by Jian Qing. She cocked an eyebrow, then quickly relaxed it.

It was that same look again.

Who the hell was he?

Why did it seem like with both times he saw her, he was yearning for someone else through her?

Suppressing her doubts, she asked softly, “Mr Shen, your wheelchair?”

“I’ve been frail since childhood and had a relapse not long ago. So I’ve been using a wheelchair these past few days. I’m feeling better today, so I came out for a walk.” Shen Yan spoke slowly.

At his words, Jian Qing did not probe further.

The conversation lapsed into silence for a while.

“Miss Jian, if you don’t mind, please accept this.” Shen Yan extended his hand, a red talisman for protection laid flat in his palm.

Jian Qing glanced down at it but did not reach out to receive it.

She turned away, looked up at him. Her gaze was sharp, “who exactly are you?”

A man whose background was entirely blank had appeared beside her, it would be difficult for her not to suspect him.

In her domain, he was the first person she couldn’t find any information on, save for his name and age. Everything else was a blank slate, unnaturally clean.

The first time they met, he gave her an umbrella, now he was giving her a protection talisman. If he said he had no ulterior motives in getting close to her, she would not believe it.

Strangely, she couldn’t sense any malice from him.

Shen Yan, who had some understanding of Jian Qing’s personality, guessed that she would be wary of him, so he chuckled softly and withdrew his hand.

“Miss Jian, are you worried that I have ulterior motives getting close to you?”

“What do you think?” asked Jian Qing in return.

She did sound somewhat like herself.

Shen Yan lightly curved his lips, matching her gaze, “Actually, Miss Jian, you look very much like an old friend of mine.”

Jian Qing kept her silence. He hardly cared, and carried on, “But your personalities aren’t quite the same.”

With that, the corners of his mouth softened into a more gentle smile, “Yesterday, I got a few protection talismans from a temple nearby, this is my blessing to Miss Jian and your husband. We meet by chance which is fate in itself.”

Jian Qing’s red lips pursed and she cautiously asked, “Mr. Shen, are you transferring your guilt towards your old friend onto me?”

A person’s eyes can’t lie, this Shen Yan was definitely hiding something, and she suspected it might have something to do with her.

An unusual glint flashed in Shen Yan’s eyes, his smile held a trace of bitterness, “Yes, I indeed owe her a lot.”

A debt that he might never be able to repay or even get a chance to.

Jian Qing raised her eyebrows, had she guessed correctly.

“Since I gave you this protection talisman, I naturally won’t take it back.” Shen Yan placed the talisman on the table, sliding it in front of Jian Qing.

Jian Qing’s eyes fell upon the small and simple protection talisman; her eyes clouded with a nebulous haze.

Shen Yan glanced at her, stood up, and quietly walked away.

His departure was as quiet and unnoticeable as his arrival.

Jian Qing could see his retreating figure from the corner of her eye. She picked up the protection talisman pinching it between her fingertips and flipped it.

The red protection talisman, embroidered with the words “peace and joy” in gold thread, faintly smelled of the incense from the temple.

She tightened her grip on the talisman, her lips pressed into a firm line.

Shen Yan!

In another room, the door of the closed-off meeting room had finally opened, Quan Jingwu leading with long strides, with Yi Kai closely following him.

“Leave the rest to you.” Quan Jingwu glanced at his slightly damp shirt, speaking with a cold voice.

Yi Kai, already accustomed to it, nodded and responded, “Yes.”

Having given his instructions, Quan Jingwu didn’t linger and quickly left. His heart was already with his wife at their home.

He wondered if his ‘little lazy bug’ had returned home already after her walk.

“Mr. Yi, where’s CEO Quan?” When Ito Takahashi and his group emerged, Quan Jingwu was already out of sight.

“Our CEO has gone home to accompany his wife,” said Yi Kai.

At his words, Ito Takahashi and several ministers exchanged glances; their expressions were odd.

In their hearts, a wife should be at home raising children while the husband focuses on his career, but Quan Jingwu was an exception. Not only did he accompany his wife every day, but he also cooked for her. This was truly a rare sight.

Around the corner, Ito Keiko watched as Quan Jingwu’s figure disappeared from view and a strange smile curled on her lips.

“Did you handle everything?”

By her side, a woman dressed in a subordinate’s uniform glanced down and replied cautiously, “It’s done. I spilled coffee on CEO Quan’s clothes.”

“Did he notice?” Ito Keiko asked with a cold laugh.

“No, I was very careful.”

“Good. Later, go collect your reward from my mother.”

“Thank you, princess!”

…

Rushing back to his room, Quan Jingwu opened the door to an empty room.

Quan Jingwu wrinkled his brows. She wasn’t back yet?

He walked over to the closet, picked an outfit, and headed towards the bathroom.

The moment the bathroom door closed, a slight figure appeared outside the door.

A light blue kimono swayed with the movement of the woman, revealing faint floral patterns.

Ito Keiko looked around the room, her gaze landing on the bathroom with the sound of running water.

She curved her lips, silently closing the door of the room, her hands began to untie the sash at her waist.

In the bathroom, Quan Jingwu heard the soft noise outside, his eyes darkened.

He reached for his clothes and quickly put them on.

Outside, the elaborately designed kimono laid scattered on the floor, revealing Ito Keiko’s creamy fair skin under the light, casting a luring gloss.

She reached for the hairpin on top her head, her cascading black hair tumbled down, adding to her allure.

Swipe.

The bathroom door opened; Quan Jingwu appeared with his hair slightly damp and his body already clad in fresh clothes.

Upon seeing the woman in the room, his face grew cold, an air of hostility radiating from him.

An almost imperceptible, enticing fragrance wafted into his nose, the chill in his eyes deepened.

But alas, certain someone still didn’t get it.

Ito Keiko looked at the man standing by the bathroom entrance, her cheeks heating up a little.

“CEO Quan, I…”

“Who allowed you to come in?” Quan Jingwu’s eyes flashed coldly, his voice freezing cold.

“Get out now!”

Ito Keiko’s face turned pale, her lips trembling as she stubbornly stared at Quan Jingwu.

“CEO Quan, I… I truly love you. I have no ulterior motives; I just want to be by your side.” Her eyes reddened slightly as she spoke guiltily.

Quan Jingwu didn’t even bother looking at her, instead, he put on his shoes and started walking towards the exit.

Seeing this, Ito Keiko grew anxious. She had waited for this opportunity for a long time. She couldn’t let it go easily.

This would be her last chance if she didn’t succeed this time.

She rushed over, her chest heaving with her movement, quite distracting.

Such a pity that Quan Jingwu didn’t spare her a single glance from start to finish.

In his eyes, all the other women, besides his wife, were no better than pigs.
