"Sister-in-law!"
Hearing a familiar voice, Song Qinian turned and saw Shen Keqin waving at her.
Qinqin!
Song Qinian smiled at Shen Keqin, then saw a sullen Shen Chiyan.
Meeting his indifferent and sharp gaze, Song Qinian's heart trembled.
Shen Chiyan, why was he here? And why did he look so upset?
Thinking of Shen Yushu being here, and that Shen Chiyan might not want the company people to know they were husband and wife, Song Qinian immediately gave Shen Keqin a look.
Shen Keqin was sharp enough to understand immediately.
"Hey, Nian Nian, I didn't expect to see you here. What are you doing here?"
"I'm here with my colleagues to do a planning proposal for the amusement park, so I came here to inspect."
Upon seeing Shen Chiyan, Shen Yushu nodded respectfully, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Chiyan's dark eyes cast a faint glance at Shen Yushu, "It is our company's honor to have such dedicated employees like you at Dingsheng Group."
Afterward, his cool gaze fell upon Song Qinian.
Song Qinian felt a prickling sensation on her scalp under Shen Chiyan's stare. She had felt warm just moments ago, but now a chill ran down her spine.
"Hey, it's rare for us to meet. Today is also my nephew's birthday. How about we form a group and have some fun together?"
Song Qinian then noticed Wen Ziqian. She and Shen Chiyan hadn't had a wedding, and she hadn't met many of Shen's family, so she naturally didn't know Wen Ziqian.
Although Shen Chiyan didn't love her, she was, after all, Shen Chiyan's wife. As long as they didn't divorce, Wen Ziqian was also her nephew.
She hadn't prepared a gift, so she thought about what Wen Ziqian would play today and that she would pay for everything. Thus, she nodded.
Shen Yushu naturally had no objections. It was his immense honor to play with Mr. Shen and his family.
If he could entertain Mr. Shen's family well, he might even get a promotion and a raise.
With this thought, Shen Yushu became even more enthusiastic.
He rushed to pay for every project they went to, leaving Song Qinian no chance to spend money.
Fortunately, there were two children, so it didn't feel too awkward or boring.
It's just...
Shen Chiyan, dressed in a black suit, exuded a powerful aura and had a cold expression, making him seem out of place in this fun-filled amusement park.
Song Qinian's attention was constantly on Shen Chiyan. While everyone else was playing, he sat aside with a cold face, waiting. He didn't say a word the entire time, but his expression was quite intimidating.
When they approached the Ferris wheel, Fu Yushu, wanting to impress, respectfully asked Shen Chiyan, "Mr. Shen, would you like to ride the Ferris wheel?"
Shen Chiyan gave him a cold look. Although he didn't speak, his eyes clearly conveyed, "Do I look like someone who enjoys riding Ferris wheels?"
Seeing this, Song Qinian secretly sent a WeChat message to Shen Keqin, "Qinqin, take Qiaoqiao and Ziqian to ride the Ferris wheel. I'll stay with Shen Chiyan."
"Okay. My brother is in a bad mood right now, the big kid. Be careful yourself."
Song Qinian: "..."
With so many people around, Shen Chiyan shouldn't bully her, right?
The Ferris wheel had just enough space for four people. Shen Keqin took the two children and even pulled Shen Yushu along.
As noon approached, the weather grew hotter. Song Qinian noticed sweat beads on Shen Chiyan's forehead and offered him a can of iced coffee.
Shen Chiyan's mood couldn't have been worse. He thought he was crazy to bring Wen Ziqian here to bake in the sun.
Also, why... why hadn't he just left?
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, pushing him to the brink of rage.
Seeing that Shen Chiyan didn't take the coffee, Song Qinian pulled open the tab for him and offered it again.
"Are you making me drink watered-down coffee?"
Knowing Shen Chiyan was a bit particular, Song Qinian placed the coffee on the table in front of him and gestured, "The boss said this one is very good, and it's also the most expensive, twenty-two yuan a can."
Shen Chiyan: "..."
Coffee that costs twenty-two yuan a can, is it even drinkable?
Seeing the sweat beads on Song Qinian's forehead and the tip of her nose, Shen Chiyan frowned and took a sip of the coffee.
It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't particularly good either.
"What about you?"
Seeing Shen Chiyan's concern, Song Qinian's heart leaped, "I have one!"
Song Qinian took a bottle of mineral water, costing two yuan, from her bag. She unscrewed the cap and took a couple of sips.
Perhaps because it was too hot, her cheeks were flushed. As her rosy lips touched the bottle opening while drinking, someone's eyes darkened, and he felt even hotter.
As soon as Song Qinian finished her water, she saw Shen Chiyan had already left. She glanced at the still-rotating Ferris wheel, sent a message to Shen Keqin, and then hurried after Shen Chiyan.
"Where are you going?"
"On such a hot day, you're making me wait under the scorching sun?"
Song Qinian looked around; there didn't seem to be any shady places to sit.
The next moment, before she could react, Shen Chiyan dragged her into the haunted house next to them.
It was cooler inside the haunted house. Standing at the entrance, Song Qinian felt a sense of relief all over her body.
However, looking at the dark, bloody, and oppressive scene inside, Song Qinian still felt a little scared.
She didn't like haunted houses.
Sensing Song Qinian's fear, Shen Chiyan let out a cold laugh, "Aren't you here to inspect the amusement park? If you're afraid to even enter a haunted house, what are you inspecting?"
Shen Chiyan had already turned and walked in. Song Qinian gritted her teeth. Didn't he say that all the amusement park rides were childish? Why did he have to go into the haunted house?
Even though she knew the ghosts in the haunted house were played by people, Song Qinian was still worried about him when she saw him go in. Gritting her teeth, she followed him inside.
The terrifying music and gory props startled Song Qinian badly. She ran forward several steps, but couldn't see Shen Chiyan's figure.
The most crucial thing was that there had been quite a few people before, but now it seemed she was the only one left in the vast haunted house. She couldn't call out for help, so she could only run forward desperately.
Suddenly, her arm was pulled with great force, and she was dragged into a "prison."
Ah...
Song Qinian was terrified. She wanted to scream but couldn't make a sound.
There was also a frightening NPC in the prison. Seeing someone enter, he was about to scare them when he heard a cold, terrifying voice, "Get out!"
Hmph, this person wasn't afraid and actually told him to get out.
Fine, he'd show him his prowess.
"Wuwu~~ Gaa~ Huhu~~~ Wuhu~"
He hopped towards Shen Chiyan and Song Qinian. Before he could even lift the hair from his forehead and show them his bloody face with a dangling tongue to scare them, he was kicked out of the prison.
He landed on his backside, yelping in pain.
Damn it, this guy has no manners! Why is he hitting an NPC!
"Urgent announcement, there's a situation in the haunted house. All NPCs and players, please leave the haunted house immediately!"
"Urgent announcement, there's a situation in the haunted house. All NPCs and players, please leave the haunted house immediately!"
The haunted house's broadcast suddenly blared. Everyone rushed to find the exit and escape the haunted house.
Song Qinian wanted to run too, but Shen Chiyan pinned her against the wall of the prison, making her unable to move...
