Guan Yang turned back to look at Shen Chi Yan.
Shen Chi Yan smiled, "I thought with your personality, you'd find a woman who shared your interests and could keep you in check."
Guan Yang continued to smoke, "Jiao Jiao is very good. I like her a lot."
"Is that so? If you like her so much, why are you still restless?"
"When was I..."
Before Guan Yang could finish speaking, Shen Chi Yan pointed to the cigarette in his hand, his meaning quite obvious.
"I'm not smoking because I'm restless, but because I'm in a good mood."
Shen Chi Yan didn't expose Guan Yang's thoughts. He said lightly, "I already know about everything between you and Mu Yuxin."
Hearing Mu Yuxin's name, Guan Yang's brows furrowed tightly.
"What? Are you here to speak up for your wife's best friend?"
"No... I, as an outsider, won't comment on the grievances between you and Mu Yuxin. I just want to tell you not to regret it when you've lost her. You might not know, but I almost lost Qi Qi because of some things and people back then."
Guan Ming Xu liked Song Qi Nian. For his younger brother, not long after Guan Yang was released from prison, he thoroughly investigated the matter between Shen Chi Yan and Song Qi Nian.
He knew what Shen Chi Yan meant.
But Shen Chi Yan and Song Qi Nian were not him and Mu Yuxin.
Song Qi Nian hadn't caused Shen Chi Yan to be imprisoned for eight years.
"Later, I also paid the price of losing her for two years before I could have her back. I don't want you to follow my path."
After finishing a cigarette, Guan Yang smiled slightly at Shen Chi Yan, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shen. Don't worry, I will never walk your old path."
Through their brief conversation, Shen Chi Yan knew that Guan Yang's hatred was not something that could be easily let go of.
He knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he said lightly, "Mu Yuxin is Qi Qi's best friend. Because of Mu Yuxin, Qi Qi hasn't slept well for several days. If she doesn't sleep well, I don't sleep well. If possible, be a little kinder to Mu Yuxin."
Guan Yang gave Shen Chi Yan a cold look, "Would you be kind to your enemy?"
"But I wouldn't sleep with my enemy."
Guan Yang: "..."
On the other side, Song Qi Nian looked at the place where Shen Chi Yan and Guan Yang had left, her heart filled with anxiety.
It had been several minutes, and she didn't know how their conversation was going.
"Nian Nian..."
Guan Ming Xu saw Song Qi Nian standing alone and immediately walked over, "Why are you standing here by yourself?"
After searching around and not finding Shen Chi Yan, Guan Ming Xu's face fell, "Where did he go?"
"He went to find your brother."
Thinking of something, Song Qi Nian asked Guan Ming Xu, "Ming Xu, who exactly is this Sheng Jiao Jiao? When are they getting married after their engagement today?"
Guan Ming Xu was instantly elated when Song Qi Nian spoke to him.
"Sheng Jiao Jiao is the daughter of my father's friend. Their family is in the hotel business. After my brother got into trouble, Sheng Jiao Jiao never gave up on him and insisted on visiting him in prison. My brother didn't like her much at first, but later he was moved by her sincerity."
He paused, and Guan Ming Xu continued, "As for the wedding, it seems to be set for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The Mid-Autumn Festival, that's only two months away?
Song Qi Nian was very anxious, "Did your brother mention how he plans to deal with Yu Xin?"
Thinking of this, Guan Ming Xu also felt a bit melancholic, "I asked my brother about this before, and he told me not to meddle in other people's business, and also said..."
Seeing Guan Ming Xu hesitate to speak, Song Qi Nian anxiously asked, "And what else did he say?"
"Ai... He hates Mu Yuxin so much, he definitely won't let Mu Yuxin off easily."
Seeing Song Qi Nian's face become increasingly distressed, he quickly comforted her, "But don't worry, I will constantly try to persuade my brother to let go of his hatred and let Mu Yuxin go."
In Guan Ming Xu's opinion, the more Guan Yang held onto his hatred, the more he couldn't let go of Mu Yuxin.
He was about to marry Sheng Jiao Jiao, and Mu Yuxin's existence would surely create cracks in their relationship. It was better to let go of everything and move forward than to be tormented by hatred.
Although she knew that Guan Ming Xu might just be comforting her, she was still quite happy. Guan Ming Xu might not be able to persuade Guan Yang, but his intention was enough.
"Ming Xu, thank you."
Guan Ming Xu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, scratching his head with a silly grin, "You don't need to be so polite with me."
When Shen Chi Yan and Guan Yang walked over from the balcony, they saw Guan Ming Xu, acting like a golden retriever, grinning foolishly at Song Qi Nian.
Fifth Master Shen's jealousy instantly flared. He snorted at Guan Yang, "You're already engaged. Shouldn't your younger brother, who is constantly thinking about other people's wives, also be arranged for marriage?"
Guan Yang couldn't help but laugh, "My parents have introduced him to several potential brides, but he doesn't like any of them. It's all because Mrs. Shen is too charming, which makes my brother unable to forget her."
Shen Chi Yan's gaze turned cold, "I let him off time and time again before, first out of respect for your father, and second, because I didn't want to stoop to the level of a fool. But if he still has designs on my wife, I don't mind using some means."
Shen Chi Yan had plenty of ways to deal with someone if he wanted to.
Guan Yang's expression instantly turned serious, and he cursed Guan Ming Xu under his breath. This idiotic brother of his was asking for trouble, how could he have fallen for Shen Chi Yan's woman!
Shen Chi Yan strode over and pulled Song Qi Nian into his arms. In front of Guan Ming Xu, he lifted Song Qi Nian's chin and kissed her lips, "Baby, have you been waiting long?"
Song Qi Nian's face instantly turned red. There were so many people here, why was he kissing her so openly.
Meanwhile, Guan Ming Xu, standing beside them, was completely petrified.
The next second, he was dragged away by Guan Yang.
Only when the two of them were out of sight did Guan Ming Xu regain his senses and curse angrily, "Is Shen Chi Yan out of his mind? Today is your and Sister Jiao Jiao's engagement banquet. What does he mean by kissing Song Qi Nian in front of so many people? Is he trying to make a spectacle of himself?"
Guan Ming Xu became more and more indignant, "He clearly knows Nian Nian is shy, yet he's still bullying Nian Nian. He..."
Before he could finish speaking, he received a heavy blow to the head.
"Second Brother, why did you hit me!"
Guan Yang was extremely exasperated, "I think you're the one who's out of your mind. Don't forget that Shen Chi Yan and Song Qi Nian are husband and wife, and they have a son who is almost two years old. It's none of your business if they kiss, or even do more outrageous things in front of everyone."
"I..."
"Also, you're speaking up for Song Qi Nian, but Song Qi Nian might actually like Shen Chi Yan kissing her in front of a crowd."
"Impossible, didn't you see her face turn red with anger?"
Guan Yang: "...Are you sure that was anger, and not embarrassment? In any case, if you don't want Shen Chi Yan to consider you his number one enemy, you'd better let go of Song Qi Nian quickly."
Guan Ming Xu lowered his head and mumbled a few things.
Guan Yang couldn't hear him and hit him again, "What are you muttering about? Speak louder."
Guan Ming Xu looked up aggrievedly, "It's not that I can't let go of Nian Nian, I just think that scoundrel Shen Chi Yan doesn't deserve Nian Nian."
Guan Yang smiled, "Oh, I remember you used to idolize Shen Chi Yan and said you wanted to be a man like him. Why do you hate him so much now?"
Guan Ming Xu said angrily, "I've gone from a fan to a hater!"
Guan Yang nodded, "Alright, I'll set up a small account for you. You can criticize Shen Chi Yan however you want, but don't go provoking his wife again!"
