Shen Chi Yan was agitated. He angrily turned Song Qi Nian to face him and was about to say something when he saw how fiercely she was crying, his words getting stuck in his throat. For some reason, other than in bed, he didn’t want to see Song Qi Nian cry.
“Are we going to do this endlessly? Cry again and I really won’t tell you!”
Song Qi Nian thought Shen Chi Yan was tricking her again and pushed him away with her arm. Little did she know, this action was perceived as rejection and resistance by Shen Chi Yan. His eyes turned cold, and he bit down hard on Song Qi Nian’s red lips.
In the past, Song Qi Nian always looked forward to and was happy whenever Shen Chi Yan kissed her. Even if he always bit her lips and tongue, she felt content. This was the first time he kissed her, and she didn’t want him to. Sensing Song Qi Nian’s resistance, Shen Chi Yan’s anger flared. He forced her mouth open, possessively and forcefully consuming her sweetness.
He only let go when Song Qi Nian was struggling to breathe, and he let out a soft hum, “Such poor lung capacity, yet quite the temper.”
Song Qi Nian glared at him, regretting that she had been able to resist at first, only to gradually get lost in his kiss. She should have bitten him hard.
“I was originally going to let your brother study abroad. Since you're so unappreciative and dare to glare at me, I'll just pretend I never said anything.” With that, Shen Chi Yan leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes.
Song Qi Nian stared blankly for a long time before realizing what Shen Chi Yan had said. She excitedly moved closer to him and nudged him with her arm. But Shen Chi Yan seemed not to notice, remaining motionless. Song Qi Nian gritted her teeth. If Shen Chi Yan wouldn't look at her, she couldn't communicate with him. It was over. She shouldn't have argued with him. What should she do now? She had wanted Jia Shu to study abroad too, but she had neither the resources nor the money. Now, the only one who could help her was Shen Chi Yan, and she had offended him. The more Song Qi Nian thought about it, the more anxious she became. Shen Chi Yan was deliberately ignoring her, and she was helpless. Seeing Shen Chi Yan's sexy, beautiful lips, Song Qi Nian swallowed and then shook her head. Firstly, she didn’t have the guts to kiss Shen Chi Yan first. Secondly, it would be more trouble than it was worth if she angered him further. But she couldn't give up. Thinking of something, Song Qi Nian glanced back at Gao Kun Lun.
Gao Kun Lun, seeing Song Qi Nian’s flushed cheeks and awkward demeanor, immediately understood. He pulled open the partition between the front and back seats. Gao Kun Lun’s thoughtfulness made Song Qi Nian’s face burn as if it could bleed. Without further thought, she straddled Shen Chi Yan’s lap and rubbed her nose against his.
The next second, Shen Chi Yan’s eyes snapped open. Meeting his sharp, dark gaze, Song Qi Nian’s heart skipped a beat. “What are you doing?”
Fearing Shen Chi Yan would throw her out, Song Qi Nian blushed and gestured, “I… I know I was wrong.” Her lips, freshly kissed by Shen Chi Yan, were red and moist. Her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes, coupled with her delicate body pressed against him, made Shen Chi Yan’s body react faster than he expected.
“I asked what you are doing?” His deep, husky, and sexy voice reached Song Qi Nian’s ears, making her heart race.
Having come this far, there was no turning back. She gritted her teeth and gestured, “… To coax… coax you…”
“Sitting on my lap like a log, is that how you coax someone?”
Song Qi Nian was speechless. “Gao Kun Lun, stop the car!”
“Yes!” Gao Kun Lun pulled the car to the side of the road, quickly got out, closed the door, and walked to a large tree to chant a calming mantra. His movements were so practiced it was heartbreaking.
An hour later, the car finally stopped. Shen Chi Yan was not fully satisfied, not for any other reason than Song Qi Nian’s injured hand. Even if he were a scoundrel, he had to consider her hand. However, seeing that Song Qi Nian had been relatively cooperative and obedient, he spoke in a rare, gentle tone, “The college entrance exam is very important, but don’t feel hopeless just because you failed. All roads lead to Rome. If Song Jia Shu is truly capable, he can make a name for himself even if he goes abroad.”
Song Qi Nian naturally knew that studying abroad would be an excellent choice for Song Jia Shu at this time. Regardless of Shen Chi Yan’s reasons for helping her, she was overjoyed and resolved to repay him well. Seeing Song Qi Nian’s happy expression, Shen Chi Yan let out a soft snort, “Don’t act as if your brother will become a great figure just because he studies abroad. Whether he’s a shining piece of gold or a piece of mud that can’t be polished, time will tell in a few years.”
With Song Jia Shu’s matter settled, Song Qi Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Lin Qiu Tong furiously threw a water cup to the ground. She glared at the shards with a face full of resentment. Since the last incident, Shen Chi Yan had only visited the hospital once. Other times, when she called or texted him, he was always busy. She never expected him to return to the Shen family’s old residence, and to pick up Song Qi Nian.
“That mute Song Qi Nian, what kind of spell did she cast on the old Mrs. Shen to make her like her so much and protect her!”
“And Shen Chi Yan, sister, I always feel he’s different with Song Qi Nian. He liked you before, but after all, he slept with Song Qi Nian for three years. You really need to think of a way and not let Song Qi Nian snatch away your happiness.” Thinking of something, Lin Lan Xing’s eyes lit up. “Ah… In a few days, it’s the old Mrs. Shen’s eighty-eighth birthday, sister, your opportunity has arrived.”
Lin Qiu Tong looked at Lin Lan Xing with a cold gaze, “What opportunity?”
“As far as I know, Song Qi Nian doesn’t have much money. She certainly won’t be able to afford a decent gift for the old Mrs. Shen’s birthday. That old woman, although she dotes on Song Qi Nian, also cares about appearances. If you present her with an expensive and tasteful gift that suits her taste, she might like you.” Lin Qiu Tong clenched her fists. She would absolutely, positively never lose to a mute again.
In the early hours of the morning, a furtive figure crept into Lin Qiu Tong’s hospital room. Seeing the alluring figure lying on the bed, the man quietly walked over, lowered his head, and kissed Lin Qiu Tong’s lips. Lin Qiu Tong was startled awake and was about to struggle when the man held her down and kissed her more forcefully. Lin Qiu Tong’s face changed drastically. She opened her mouth and bit down on the man’s tongue. The man cried out in pain and pushed her away. Lin Qiu Tong seized the opportunity, grabbed a pillow, and hit him with it. The man dodged while shouting with a lisp, “Don’t hit, don’t hit, it’s me…” Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Qiu Tong flicked on the bedside lamp with a "snap" and saw Shen Qi Wen, his tongue bleeding and his brow furrowed in pain.
