Chapter 184 How Could He Love Song Qinian

The old Shen Chi Yan absolutely disliked her staring at him.

Every time he discovered her secretly watching him, he would fiercely threaten to dig out her eyeballs.

Today, his words sounded more like he was complaining she wasn't looking at him enough.

And what did Gao Kun Lun just say about a lover?

So, he thought she was on a date with someone else and had come to catch them in the act?

Thinking he could catch her red-handed and drag her to his grandmother's to divorce?

Unfortunately, the person she was eating with was Gu Zhi Yan, not some illicit lover.

The thought of this soured Song Qi Nian's mood.

Suddenly, Shen Chi Yan's voice rang out, "My mother found you today, was it just for a meal? Or did she say anything to you?"

Song Qi Nian was still upset and didn't want to deal with Shen Chi Yan, but his dark, sharp eyes stared at her so intensely that her scalp tingled. She had no choice but to gesture with her hands, "A secret, I won't tell you."

"A secret? Heh... I didn't know you two were so close now."

Hearing Shen Chi Yan's mocking tone, Song Qi Nian felt a prick in her heart. He probably thought she was deliberately trying to please Gu Zhi Yan to avoid a divorce.

Song Qi Nian had thought that since she hadn't bowed down and apologized to Lin Qiu Tong, Shen Chi Yan wouldn't just let it go. However, after waiting a few days, Shen Chi Yan hadn't mentioned it at all.

What was strange was that she noticed Shen Chi Yan seemed to be observing her lately. His sharp gaze was always on her, as if he wanted to see through her.

Whenever Song Qi Nian felt uncomfortable and looked over, she would see him frowning, writing something on paper, only to furiously cross it out a moment later.

Occasionally, when their eyes met, he would act like someone caught doing something wrong, flying into a rage, "What are you looking at? Get out!"

Song Qi Nian: "..."

This guy was having a personality split again.

Lately, Shen Chi Yan had fallen into a vicious cycle.

As the Pinnacle Group was steadily developing, he, as the CEO, began to consider his emotional matters.

At this moment, two A4 papers lay on his desk. One was filled with Song Qi Nian's flaws.

"Plain-looking, eyes a bit too big, nose a bit too small, lips a bit too thick."

"Mediocre figure, flat chest, small hips, and very short."

"Crybaby!"

"Disobedient!"

"Scheming and manipulative!"

"No other skills, but 100% adept at making people angry."

"Stubborn as a mule."

"Loves him too much."

The other paper listed Song Qi Nian's strengths.

"Her body is quite soft, very comfortable to hold, has a sleep-inducing effect. Crossed out, holding her is no different from holding a pillow."

"She looks quite pretty when she smiles. Crossed out, she just shows off her big white teeth all day."

"She's quite well-behaved when she's not making people angry. Crossed out, she's never not making people angry."

Shen Chi Yan slammed his pen onto the desk. Damn Song Qi Nian, she had absolutely no redeeming qualities!

"She clearly has a mountain of flaws, yet you find them all insignificant and still like her and want to be with her. Congratulations, you've fallen head over heels in love and can't extricate yourself."

Gong Yu Qi's words echoed in Shen Chi Yan's ears. He cursed under his breath, his mood worsening.

He loved Song Qi Nian?

How could that be?

It was impossible, not in this lifetime!

...

He had been swamped with work lately. Finally, the weekend arrived, and Shen Chi Yan wanted to rest for two days.

Shen Chi Yan had expected that with him at home, Song Qi Nian would eagerly flock to him, trying to please him and seek his attention.

Unexpectedly, on Saturday morning, after breakfast, Song Qi Nian returned to her room and didn't come out all morning.

After lunch, she quickly retreated to her room again, sneakily doing something.

Completely ignored, Shen Chi Yan felt quite displeased and called Zhang Qiao Qiao out.

"Young Master, what is it?"

Shen Chi Yan glanced casually out the window, holding a book, "Don't you think the weather is nice today?"

Zhang Qiao Qiao was utterly bewildered. What had Master Wu been stimulated by? To be discussing the weather with her.

"Heh heh, it's quite good."

Shen Chi Yan thought Zhang Qiao Qiao was usually quite smart. Had she become so dull from spending too much time with Song Qi Nian?

"Weren't you saying a few days ago that you wanted to eat barbecue?"

Zhang Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up, "Really? But didn't you say the smell was too strong?"

"If you don't want to eat, then forget it."

"I want to, I want to... I'll go prepare now."

"Ask Song Qi Nian to come out and join you for barbecue. What is she doing in her room on a weekend?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go now."

Thinking about the barbecue, Zhang Qiao Qiao skipped happily towards Song Qi Nian's room.

"Madam, the Master has agreed to our barbecue at home today."

Hearing Zhang Qiao Qiao's voice, Song Qi Nian quickly hid what she was holding.

Just as she finished hiding it, Zhang Qiao Qiao walked in, "Madam, what are you doing? The Master has been home all day, why aren't you accompanying him?"

Song Qi Nian didn't know why Shen Chi Yan was home today, but with Song Jia Shu's departure abroad drawing closer, she, as his older sister, had to personally make him some things.

However, although she could paint, her handicraft skills were very poor.

Therefore, she didn't want anyone to see it until the finished product was ready.

"I was just painting. Can we really have barbecue at home?"

Zhang Qiao Qiao only heard the first half of her sentence and was horrified, "What? You'd rather paint than see the Master now?"

Song Qi Nian's heart tightened, and she quickly covered Zhang Qiao Qiao's mouth.

"Qiao Qiao, you can't say things like that!"

If Shen Chi Yan heard it, he would make her "die" a horrible death.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just rushing to finish this painting."

Zhang Qiao Qiao chuckled, "I knew it. You love the Master so much, how could you not want to see him? Let's go, the barbecue is more important."

When the two of them went out, Gao Kun Lun had already bought the ingredients and barbecue equipment and had started setting things up.

Zhang Qiao Qiao immediately ran over excitedly, "Gao Kun Lun, let me help you."

Song Qi Nian glanced at Shen Chi Yan. Today he was wearing a white V-neck t-shirt and white casual pants. When he wasn't at work, his hair was casually loose, making him appear less sharp and cold, and more gentle.

During lunch, her mind was preoccupied with how to knit a scarf, and she hadn't paid much attention to him.

Now, looking at him, she felt as if she were seeing him during their university days. Her heart fluttered, and the corners of her lips curved up unconsciously.

Sensing Shen Chi Yan's constant gaze on her, Shen Chi Yan looked at her indifferently, "What? Never seen such a handsome man?"

It was true that Shen Chi Yan was handsome, and his narcissism was also genuine.

Song Qi Nian feared that if they stayed in the same place, she might anger him unintentionally. She gestured to him gently, "I'll go help too."

Fifth Master Shen, who had just struck a cool pose, waiting for Song Qi Nian to sit beside him: "..."
