The two were suddenly close, and Song Qinian’s breath hitched, her heart skipping a beat.
Especially under Shen Chi Yan’s direct gaze, her heart was even more out of her control, yet her face turned paler and paler.
She struggled to pull her hand away, averted her gaze, and quickly gestured a few times, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going out now."
After speaking, she quickly ran out of the study.
Shen Chi Yan frowned, feeling extremely annoyed.
Song Qinian used to get angry too, but she would quickly come over to appease him.
This time, she had been angry for so long?
Her courage was really growing.
But the moment he thought of Song Qinian avoiding him, Shen Chi Yan felt a sense of inexplicable unease mixed with his irritation.
After much thought, Shen Chi Yan sent a WeChat message to Shen Ke Qin.
"If someone makes you angry, what does that person need to do for you to forgive them?"
Shen Ke Qin was enjoying the peeled lychees that Jian Mu Bai had prepared for her. Upon seeing the message, she snorted proudly, "Two days earlier than I expected. It seems my sister-in-law is truly angry this time."
Thinking of Song Qinian’s recent financial difficulties, she immediately replied to Shen Chi Yan.
"Of course, by sending me red envelopes!"
"Red envelopes?"
"Opening red envelopes is a way to relieve stress. The bigger and more red envelopes, the faster my anger will disappear. Of course, I'd be even happier if he bought me handbags, jewelry, or limited edition motorcycles."
Seeing that Shen Chi Yan didn't reply, Shen Ke Qin immediately sent a WeChat message to Song Qinian.
"Sister-in-law, if my brother sends you red envelopes later, you must accept them!"
Song Qinian was feeling down about how to interact with Shen Chi Yan. Seeing Qin Qin’s WeChat message, she sent back a question mark.
Why would Shen Chi Yan send her red envelopes?
"Ai… My brother might have been really hit hard. He's sending out red envelopes everywhere to vent. If you don't accept his red envelopes, he'll definitely think you're looking down on him."
Had Shen Chi Yan been hit hard?
Didn't he seem perfectly normal just now?
The next second, her phone beeped. Shen Chi Yan had indeed sent her a transfer, amounting to twenty thousand.
Immediately after, the beeping continued. Shen Chi Yan sent several more transfers in succession.
When the phone finally stopped beeping, Song Qinian counted. He had sent a total of ten transfers, which amounted to two hundred thousand.
This money was almost equivalent to Song Qinian’s annual salary. Song Qinian naturally didn't dare to accept it and immediately sent a WeChat message to Shen Ke Qin.
"Qin Qin, what should I do? Shen Chi Yan sent me two hundred thousand!"
"Accept it, what else can you do?"
"But this… it’s too much!"
"Aiya, Sister-in-law, don't you understand yet? The more money my brother sends you, the more it shows he's been hit hard."
"Really?"
"More real than gold!"
"...Alright then."
"Mhm, mhm, go ahead and spend it. Spend it freely. If it's not enough, ask my brother."
In the study.
Shen Chi Yan saw that Song Qinian had accepted all the money he sent, but he waited for a long time and didn't receive any message from Song Qinian looking for him.
Even after accepting the money, she didn't send a single WeChat message or emoji.
Was she still angry?
Or was Shen Ke Qin's method completely useless?
So, Shen Chi Yan sent a WeChat message to Gong Yu Qi.
"When your girlfriends get angry, how do you pacify them?"
The best voice in history, Gong: "Yo, did you make your white moonlight angry? Or your little pampered wife angry?"
Shen Chi Yan: "Am I asking you, or are you asking me?"
The best voice in history, Gong: "Hehe… I was just curious. As for me, I usually give gold."
Shen Chi Yan: "...Are you sure they'd be happy after receiving gold?"
The best voice in history, Gong: "Gold is great, isn't it? It's brilliant and can appreciate in value. I give them the things I like the most, so how could they not be happy?"
The best voice in history, Gong: "Oh, right, didn't you have a whistle made of pure gold before? Haven't you given it away yet?"
The moment he thought of that whistle, Shen Chi Yan's brows furrowed tightly.
That whistle was something he had intended to give to Lin Qiu Tong to confess his feelings, but now that Lin Qiu Tong had woken up, he couldn't remember why he had insisted on giving her a whistle.
He didn't even know what his purpose was in crafting that whistle, what was its significance.
"Song Qinian is a student at Jinghua University. When you used to visit me, did you ever see her?"
Gong Yu Qi had studied abroad and would occasionally return to China to visit Shen Chi Yan at Jinghua University.
"No, she's so beautiful and cute. If I had seen her, I definitely wouldn't have forgotten."
Gong Yu Qi sent a voice message, but after sending it, he realized something was wrong and quickly withdrew it.
"I'm going to film. Good luck!"
Shen Chi Yan: "..."
Everyone around him didn't know Song Qinian, and he himself didn't either. Then how did Song Qinian fall for him?
It couldn't be that after sleeping together once, she fell in love at first sight, right?
Regardless, the fact that Song Qinian liked him was truly… quite bothersome.
The next morning, Song Qinian received a large collection of jewelry made of gold.
Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, even anklets, but no rings.
Song Qinian quietly put everything away, still not initiating contact with Shen Chi Yan.
This made Shen Chi Yan quite annoyed. He directly summoned Song Qinian to his bedroom.
Upon meeting her, he handed Song Qinian a card.
Song Qinian looked at Shen Chi Yan in confusion and didn't reach out.
Shen Chi Yan, impatient, pried open Song Qinian's hand and stuffed the card into hers, "There should be a limit to being angry, just about enough."
Song Qinian was stunned for a long time before realizing that Shen Chi Yan had sent red envelopes, gifted gold jewelry, and now a card, all as an apology.
Could it be that he… already knew he had wronged her?
Thinking back carefully, when he first saw her at the hospital, he had wanted her to leave.
Later, he suddenly called her back, likely because Qin Qin had explained the situation of that night to him.
Knowing that he had misunderstood her, he had gone to such lengths without even saying "sorry."
If it were Lin Qiu Tong, he would probably have held her in his arms and coaxed her gently.
No!
He would never have hurt Lin Qiu Tong in the first place.
Her chest ached. Song Qinian returned the card to Shen Chi Yan.
She had already accepted his money and jewelry, so she wouldn't take the card.
Shen Chi Yan didn't take the card. His handsome face became even colder and more displeased. After placing the card on the table, she slowly gestured, "I'm not angry."
Song Qinian truly didn't want to have a cold war with Shen Chi Yan. Their relationship could end at any moment, and she just wanted to cherish the remaining days.
Moreover, since he knew he had wronged her and had provided so many stepping stones, she would let him use them to descend.
"Not angry? Then why are you keeping so far from me?"
Song Qinian pursed her lips. She saw Shen Chi Yan walking towards her step by step.
As soon as her body moved slightly, Shen Chi Yan coldly threatened, "If you dare to take another step back, I'll return to the old house tomorrow and tell Grandma that you bullied me while I was injured."
