Shen Ke Qin, fearing Shen Chi Yan wouldn't believe her, pulled out her photo album and handed it to him.
"Look, this is a photo I took with Sister-in-law last night. It even has the date on it."
Even without looking at the photo, Shen Chi Yan knew Shen Ke Qin didn't have the guts to help Song Qi Nian in such a way.
So, had she misunderstood Song Qi Nian?
"How did the three of you end up together?"
Shen Ke Qin answered truthfully, "Guan Ming Xu saved Sister-in-law several times before. Sister-in-law didn't know how to repay him, so she wanted to treat him to a meal, and then she asked me to come along."
After a pause, Shen Ke Qin continued, "The meal was eaten by the three of us, the fireworks show was watched by the three of us, and yet I'm not in that photo. Clearly, someone is deliberately trying to drive a wedge between you and Sister-in-law."
For Shen Chi Yan and Song Qi Nian, and for Guan Ming Xu, Shen Ke Qin could only kindly conceal the fact that Guan Ming Xu had indeed tried to kiss Song Qi Nian, but had failed.
Knowing that Song Qi Nian hadn't betrayed him, Shen Chi Yan didn't feel any happier. Instead, he was extremely agitated.
"Brother, you can doubt anything, but you cannot doubt Sister-in-law's love for you. In this world, I could betray you, but Sister-in-law absolutely would not."
When Shen Chi Yan's gaze fell on her, Shen Ke Qin chuckled and explained, "Of course, you are my brother, how could I betray you? Hehe..."
A knock on the door suddenly sounded. The nurse was here to change his dressing.
Li Nan Xun also walked in.
Shen Chi Yan didn't see Song Qi Nian, and his heart inexplicably skipped a beat. "Where is Song Qi Nian?"
"Miss Song has already left."
"What!?"
Shen Ke Qin looked anxiously at Shen Chi Yan. "Brother, you must have hurt Sister-in-law with your words just now. You're too much! If Sister-in-law doesn't forgive you this time, I will definitely support her!"
Seeing Shen Chi Yan glare at her, she snorted, "It's no use glaring at me. You seem fine, so I won't disturb your rest! Goodbye!"
Shen Ke Qin left the ward angrily.
Only Li Nan Xun was left to face Shen Chi Yan, who was in a terrible mood.
"Secretary Li, what's your relationship with Song Qi Nian?"
As Shen Chi Yan's chief secretary, the moment this question came out of Shen Chi Yan's mouth, Li Nan Xun immediately understood its double meaning.
Officially, both she and Song Qi Nian were Shen Chi Yan's secretaries. If she said their relationship was average or not good, Shen Chi Yan would definitely think she was uncooperative and couldn't handle colleague relationships.
He might even fire her!
Privately, Song Qi Nian was Shen Chi Yan's wife, the madam of Ding Sheng Group's CEO. If this question wasn't answered well,
She would also risk being fired.
Therefore, Li Nan Xun said calmly, "Very good."
"I guess your relationship is also very good. Otherwise, why would you let her come here?"
Shen Chi Yan's expression was blank, and his voice was as cold as it could be. Li Nan Xun's heart sank. Why wasn't President Shen playing by the rules?
The next second, she heard Shen Chi Yan say, "No matter what method you use, make Song Qi Nian come back here."
"...Yes."
After Li Nan Xun left the ward, she was about to take out her phone to contact Song Qi Nian when she saw Song Qi Nian rushing back from outside the window.
She looked further away and saw a sly-looking Shen Ke Qin.
Without thinking, she knew it must have been Shen Ke Qin who said something to Song Qi Nian to make her return.
Five minutes ago, Shen Ke Qin had caught up with Song Qi Nian downstairs at the inpatient building.
"Sister-in-law, why did you leave?"
Song Qi Nian's face was as pale as paper, and she looked dispirited.
Shen Chi Yan didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to stay and annoy him.
Moreover, he didn't seem seriously injured and didn't need her care.
Shen Ke Qin's eyes rolled. She sighed heavily, "Actually, my brother didn't mean to chase you away just now. He was so badly injured that he told you to leave because he was afraid you would worry if you saw him."
Song Qi Nian gave Shen Ke Qin a bitter smile. It was too hard on Ke Qin to try to fool her with something even a three-year-old wouldn't believe.
"Don't you believe me? I'm telling the truth!
Song Qi Nian nodded and continued to walk away.
Shen Ke Qin knew that if Song Qi Nian left, given Shen Chi Yan's stubbornness, he would never apologize first. The relationship, which had finally improved a little, would surely return to its starting point.
So, steeling her heart and gritting her teeth, she rushed over, grabbed Song Qi Nian, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm really not lying to you. Not long after you left, the doctor came to change his dressing. I heard him say with my own ears that my brother cannot have sexual intercourse recently, otherwise it will leave permanent damage."
Seeing Song Qi Nian moved, she continued to fabricate, "Think about it carefully. If he can't have sexual intercourse, where did he get injured? And he's such a proud person, how could he let you know where he was injured? That's a man's dignity!"
As she spoke, Shen Ke Qin sniffled, looking quite sad.
"Grandma is still hoping that you and my brother will have a fat baby for her. What if he can never have intercourse? Will you divorce him?"
Shen Ke Qin tightly held Song Qi Nian's hand, "Sister-in-law, if you divorce my brother, I can understand. After all... it concerns your happiness for the rest of your life."
Although Shen Ke Qin hadn't entered the entertainment industry, her acting talent was innate.
This performance of hers indeed greatly frightened the simple Song Qi Nian.
"Even though my brother doesn't say it out loud, he must really need you right now. Even if you have to leave him, please wait until he's discharged, okay?"
Song Qi Nian shook her head and immediately gestured to Shen Ke Qin, "I never thought of leaving him. No matter what he becomes, I... I will always like him."
Jian Mu Bai translated Song Qi Nian's sign language to Shen Ke Qin. Upon hearing this, Shen Ke Qin inwardly despised Shen Chi Yan.
Secretly, this was true love.
Then, Shen Ke Qin, moved and acting dramatically, squeezed out a tear. "Mmm, Sister-in-law, sincerity can move mountains. I believe that one day, my brother will definitely fall in love with you."
Song Qi Nian didn't think that far ahead. She just wanted to stay by Shen Chi Yan's side. If that part of him was really damaged, he would be very disheartened.
Seeing Song Qi Nian turn back, Shen Ke Qin raised her eyebrows. "How was it? Am I great? The happiness of my brother and sister-in-law will be guarded by me from now on."
Jian Mu Bai looked at the lively, cheerful, and helpful Shen Ke Qin, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
Shen Ke Qin didn't notice Jian Mu Bai's expression and chattered on, "However, we still need to teach that arrogant and self-important cousin of his a lesson. Otherwise, it's too easy for him to be forgiven after Sister-in-law suffered so much grievance."
On the other side, Song Qi Nian, after rushing down from the elevator, seemed to realize something and stopped abruptly.
Shen Chi Yan, did he really need her?
Everything from last night told her that Shen Chi Yan still hated her, still disliked her. How could he need her?
Perhaps Ke Qin misunderstood Shen Chi Yan's meaning. Shen Chi Yan wasn't afraid of her knowing where he was injured, but truly didn't want to see her?
Just as Song Qi Nian hesitated, Li Nan Xun walked over. "Secretary Song, you're here at the right time. President Shen is looking for you."
If Ke Qin's words contained a little bit of exaggeration, then Li Nan Xun shouldn't be lying to her, and there was no need for her to lie.
Therefore, Song Qi Nian returned to Shen Chi Yan's ward.
Seeing Song Qi Nian standing far away, Shen Chi Yan frowned slightly. "Come here."
