The reporter was beaten by Shen Yin until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his face was covered with scratches. When he saw Ji Sixen, he immediately pretended to have a headache, lay on the ground, and kept shouting, "Is there any justice left? The Yu family has a great cause. Is this how you treat guests?"
"The Yu family's birthday banquet is not bad enough to invite a guest like you."
Ji Sichen stood there condescendingly, his eyes flashing with cold light.
At first glance, the reporter who was still crying and howling on the ground had muted his voice.
He stepped forward with his long legs and walked in front of Shen Yin. His eyes passed over her thin shoulders and finally stopped on her fingertips.
"Hit someone?"
Shen Yin remained silent.
There are many reasons swirling in my mind. Should I tell you about Shen Qingwan's conspiracy against Ji Nuan? Should I explain it first?
But before she could hesitate to come up with a result, the man in front of her stretched out his hand to her.
"What does it look like."
Shen Yin raised his eyes and looked, only to see the man's cold face and his eyes as deep as darkness.
When she was at a loss, she was already pulled up by him.
The reporters reacted at this moment, "Mr. Ji, your Yu family's servants openly beat reporters. If you don't give an explanation, this matter will not end today!"
Shen Yin breathed a sigh of relief silently in his heart.
It's okay, just come to her and don't involve Ji Nuan.
The aura around him instantly became colder, and Shen Yin felt the hand holding his wrist tighten suddenly...
He tilted his head, gave her a look, and glanced at the room at the end of the corridor.
Shen Yin seemed to understand but not quite.
His fingers passed over her wrist, once, twice!
The man turned sharply, took long strides, and ran towards the room. Shen Yin hurriedly followed.
Behind them were the housekeepers and Yu family servants who came over. There was a chaotic shouting, but it became quiet after a few seconds.
The door was also closed by Ji Sichen with one hand.
When he looked at Shen Yin again, his eyes were full of scrutiny, "You hit someone at the Yu family's birthday banquet. Do you still want to walk out of this door alive?"
A cold aura instantly surrounded Shen Yin.
Her first reaction was to step back.
Can……
"Now I know I'm afraid, it's too late."
"Mr. Ji has misunderstood. You can call those reporters over now. I can confront them and see who is behind it."
Not her.
Ji Sichen suddenly frowned.
"Also, Mr. Ji just announced the good news of his upcoming engagement. Congratulations." Shen Yin said and walked around.
Simple actions vividly demonstrate the attitude of avoiding suspicion.
"You come here first."
Ji Sichen suppressed his anger and his eyes fell on the scar on her wrist. He didn't know how it was done. Couldn't she feel the pain?
Shen Yin remained motionless.
The man was about to speak again when there was a knock on the door.
"Si Chen, are you in there?" Shen Qingwan asked gently, "Uncle Wu has sent the reporter away and paid some medical expenses. This matter is over."
Fifth uncle?
Ji Sichen's eyes darkened a little more.
These few of them really can't be left behind.
Shen Qingwan knocked on the door and revealed her identity, but there was no sign of opening the door. Thinking about what the servant had just said, Ji Sichen took Shen Yin with him.
"Open the door first." Shen Qingwan ordered directly, "If Si Shen gets into trouble, who of you can afford it?"
The servant had no choice but to take out the key.
But at this moment, the door opened.
Shen Qingwan looked inside and forced her way in through the gap beside him.
"Master Si Chen, are you okay?" Uncle He hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss Ji Nuan has returned to the room. There is nothing wrong. It's just that the invitations from the reporters came from unknown sources and need to be checked again."
If Uncle He dares to say this, he must be sure of it.
Ji Sichen's face turned a little colder.
"I have something to discuss with Miss Shen alone."
The next second, the door closed and everyone was locked out.
Just as Shen Qingwan's hand was about to reach for the closet door, Ji Sichen stared at her, "Qingwan, in the past I always believed that you were the woman I would marry, but after getting along with each other for these years, how far has the relationship between you and me reached? You and I both know."
Shen Qingwan's heart tightened when she heard his tone.
"Si Chen, the time of engagement is..."
"I don't love you."
Ji Sichen was straightforward, and there was no hint of deception in his eyes, "You are the same, aren't you?"
Shen Qingwan couldn't help shaking her head, with tears falling in her eyes, "You, have you misunderstood me? I have liked you since I was a teenager, and I have always liked you until now!"
Ji Sichen remained calm.
"If you really like me so much, why do you test my bottom line again and again? You know that I don't allow anyone to take Ji Nuan to the birthday banquet. Shen Qingwan, are you doing this for me or for the Yu family? family property?"
"I……"
She couldn't resist Ji Sichen's scrutinizing gaze and couldn't help but step back.
But all his words were filled with feeble excuses.
"That's enough. I don't want to make up any lies to deal with those people. After you get out, you can tell them that you want to break off the engagement."
"No!"
Shen Qingwan rushed forward and shed tears.
"Si Chen, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I can't live without you. I was just too anxious. I didn't want to hurt Ji Nuan. Everyone outside knew that we were getting engaged. We should cancel the engagement at this time. How am I going to live the rest of my life?"
"Please, I gave all my youth to you, and I still have nightmares now, thinking of the lost child, and the words my aunt specially asked me to come to and say before she passed away..."
Ji Sichen's thoughts sank and he slowly closed his eyes.
"Shut up."
But Shen Qingwan held his hand and refused to let go at all.
After a long silence, the only sound left in the room was Shen Qingwan's crying.
"Even if I don't love you, and I just want to marry you for the marriage contract set by my parents, would you still be willing?"
Shen Qingwan's fingers trembled slightly, and the words on her lips came out with tears, "Yes."
"Okay, that's as you wish."
He only said this, left Shen Qingwan behind, and returned to the birthday banquet alone.
The moonlight fell on Shen Qingwan, making her gorgeous evening dress look even more expensive. She sniffed hard, touched up her makeup, and walked out of the door with a smile on her face again.
As long as Ji Sichen is willing to marry her, what else does it matter?
When everything is calm.
Shen Yin, who was hiding in the closet, came out.
Ji Sixen could obviously let her go first, but he let her hear his rejection of Shen Qingwan with her own ears.
What on earth is he thinking?
She didn't have time to think too much, so she opened the door a crack and saw that no one was passing by in the corridor outside, so she hurried to Ji Nuan's room.
"She's already asleep." Lu Huiling hugged the dress she had changed into, looking embarrassed, "Mr. Ji, how do you explain this?"
"Tell the truth."
Shen Yin looked at Ji Nuan's calm expression and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's not too bad."
Lu Huiling frowned beside her, "She's fine, she just showed a small face. The Yu family will send someone to delete the message completely. What about you?"
At the Yu family's birthday banquet, she beat someone in public despite her identity as Ji Sixen's mistress. This time she became famous.
