When Li Junshen received the news of Shen Chi'an's death, he was standing on the balcony, a glass of red wine in hand, gazing at the night sky.
Even on a cloudless night in Jinghua City, stars were rarely visible.
"Song Qinian hasn't left Shen Chi'an's ward since she entered. There's been no movement from the Shen family either. Mr. Li, could there be a trap in this?"
Li Junshen slowly took a sip of his wine and then laughed heartily, "My Nian Nian is getting smarter and smarter."
The person behind him looked confused.
"Tomorrow is the shareholders' meeting. No matter how sad or desperate Nian Nian is, she wouldn't release the news of Shen Chi'an's death at this juncture."
"Then should we spread this news? Or tell the Shen family?"
Li Junshen shook his head, "No need. Since Nian Nian took such pains to conceal it, how can I disappoint her? Besides, she's been too tired lately. How could I bear to cause her more trouble?"
After all, after tomorrow, whether it was Dingsheng Group, the Shen family, or her, it would all belong to him!
At this moment, Song Qinian, worn out from exertion, was already asleep in Shen Chi'an's arms.
She was already tired, and coupled with such a great shock, after thoroughly dealing with Shen Chi'an, she finally relaxed her taut nerves and fell asleep.
As long as Shen Chi'an woke up, she wouldn't have to worry about anything, nor would she have to fear anything.
Shen Chi'an looked at Song Qinian's pale, gaunt little face with heartache. He couldn't bear to see her like this. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then took out his phone and made a call.
The next morning, Song Qinian was woken up by Shen Chi'an.
"Darling, it's time to get up."
Song Qinian groggily got out of bed. When she saw Shen Chi'an, she reached out and hugged him tightly.
He hadn't become a vegetative state, and he wasn't dead. It was truly wonderful.
Looking at his clingy wife, the fifth master Shen almost lost control. However, today they had a tough battle to fight as a couple, so he had to suppress his desires for the moment.
"I asked Gao Kunlun to bring breakfast. Eat after you've had it, and then head to the company!"
Song Qinian obediently nodded. Then, as if remembering something, she suddenly looked up at Shen Chi'an. "If you died, shouldn't I be so heartbroken that I can't eat anything? What if eating breakfast makes Li Junshen suspicious?"
Shen Chi'an looked at his adorable wife, his heart melting with sweetness. He dotingly kissed her face again and again, reluctant to let go.
"I won't eat. I want to go to the company looking as miserable and pitiful as possible."
"Gurgle..."
The moment she finished speaking, her long-hungry stomach let out a strong protest.
Shen Chi'an burst into laughter and stroked her head dotingly, "Gao Kunlun saw how haggard and distraught you looked and was afraid you'd collapse, so he bought you breakfast. No one will find out if you eat it, so don't worry."
Song Qinian thought it made sense, so she ate all the breakfast Gao Kunlun had bought.
Her phone rang several times, some calls from Li Junshen, others from shareholders.
She didn't answer them. Instead, she went to the bathroom to tidy herself up and even applied some light makeup.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw the fifth master Shen with a dark gaze. Before she could react, he rushed over, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and kissed her fiercely.
Song Qinian was stunned for only a second. Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head back to respond.
They kissed with a passion that felt like life and death for a while, until Song Qinian was almost breathless. Shen Chi'an reluctantly released her. "Once I've dealt with that scoundrel Li Junshen, I'm definitely going to spend three days and three nights with you in bed."
Song Qinian looked at his restrained and unsatisfied expression and couldn't help but chuckle. "Three days and three nights? Can you manage?"
Shen Chi'an's dark eyes were full of danger. "I can't?"
Only then did Song Qinian remember that men did not tolerate being told they were incapable. Fearing Shen Chi'an's revenge, she immediately cleared her throat. "Alright, I should go to the company. By the way, have you... have you really arranged everything?"
Shen Chi'an kissed Song Qinian's forehead. "Don't worry. Today, just keep your eyes wide open and watch how I deal with Li Junshen!"
Li Junshen, that love rival, was a thorn in Shen Chi'an's side.
To trample on a love rival in front of his beloved woman was something every male would be proud of.
Song Qinian nodded. "Okay, I'll be looking forward to it."
Ten in the morning.
Song Qinian, accompanied by Li Nanxun, went to the conference room.
As expected, Ji Luofei and Li Junshen were already there.
Ji Luofei was wearing a bright red qipao today, which looked like her battle armor, symbolizing a triumphant start.
Li Junshen, on the other hand, was wearing a perfectly tailored custom suit, exuding a refined and upright aura. The various directors looked at him with approval.
But ever since Song Qinian entered, Li Junshen's eyes had been solely on her.
She had deliberately put on makeup today, making her look spirited. But upon closer inspection, there were still dark circles under her eyes.
She hadn't slept well all night and had deliberately used makeup to conceal her haggard appearance, right?
The thought of her being heartbroken over Shen Chi'an sent a cold glint in his dark eyes.
Soon, he smiled again.
Shen Chi'an was dead. Why would he bother with a dead man?
Ji Luofei smiled at Song Qinian. "Nian Nian, we were mother and daughter-in-law for two years after all. As long as you obediently abdicate, I won't make things difficult for you."
Song Qinian sat in the CEO's seat, her icy gaze sweeping over the people standing behind Ji Luofei. "Shen Chi'an is currently in a coma, but the doctor said he will definitely wake up in two years. Are you all really sure you want to betray him and install someone else?"
Director A: "Two years? How much will we lose in two years? Moreover, no one can guarantee that President Shen will wake up within these two years. If he never wakes up, won't our losses be huge? We can't afford to take this risk."
Director B: "Time is life. We believe Mr. Li can bring us more benefits."
As soon as he spoke, other directors chimed in with similar sentiments.
Of course, some directors were still observing. In this world, nothing was more important than profit. The reason they hadn't immediately sided with Ji Luofei wasn't due to their deep affection for Shen Chi'an, but out of respect for Dingsheng Group and the old madam. Most importantly, they were still anticipating Shen Chi'an's awakening.
Ji Luofei sneered, "Nian Nian, with such a major incident happening in the Shen family, how could you keep it from everyone?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd asked in alarm, "What happened? What happened to the Shen family?"
Song Qinian looked at Ji Luofei coldly. Then she heard Ji Luofei say triumphantly, "You don't know yet, do you? Shen Chi'an is already dead."
Like a stone thrown into a thousand ripples, Ji Luofei's words instantly caused an uproar in the conference room.
The faces of the observing shareholders turned extremely grim. They looked at Song Qinian and pressed her, "President Song, is this true? Is President Shen dead?"
Song Qinian gritted her teeth, appearing flustered and clueless.
Then, with a smile, she comforted everyone, "Everyone, Shen Chi'an has only become a vegetative state, he's not dead. He will wake up soon."
As soon as Song Qinian finished speaking, Ji Luofei smiled. "Nian Nian, at this point, why are you still struggling so hard?"
Song Qinian glared at Ji Luofei with a cold expression. "I said Shen Chi'an is not dead, and he is not dead. I spent the whole night with him yesterday. How can you say he is dead?"
