Following Wen Yin's gaze, Shao Yinan locked eyes with Qi Siqing in the distance.
Qi Siqing?
Why is she always staring at A Yin?
Shao Yinan was deep in thought when unexpectedly, another figure appeared in his line of sight.
A handsome man in the distance was walking towards them with a champagne glass in his hand, wearing a smile on his face.
When Qi Siran saw the approaching man, his expression turned rather strange.
When did he return to the country?
Qi Siran silently turned around and left without even saying hello to Shao Yinan and the others.
After clearly seeing the man's face, Shao Yinan's eyes subtly turned cold.
Shao Yuanjia.
The love child his good-for-nothing father had outside.
Wen Yin clearly noticed that Shao Yinan was surrounded by a cold aura, and his usually gentle peach blossom eyes had turned deep and unfathomable.
He was like a hedgehog with its spines raised, subtly exuding hostility.
Wen Yin frowned and followed his gaze.
She saw a man who bore a slight resemblance to Shao Yinan walking slowly towards them. She already had a vague guess about the man's identity.
"Yinan, I didn't expect to see you here," Shao Yuanjia said. Noticing the impatience in Shao Yinan's eyes, the smile on his face grew even more smug.
Everything had changed the moment his father transferred him back from abroad.
It was still uncertain who would inherit the vast Shao family business.
Just thinking about this, a glint of light flashed across Shao Yuanjia's eyes.
Shao Yuanjia was well aware of his illegitimate son status.
Therefore, he didn't expect to inherit much of the family business.
This was no ordinary wealthy family.
Even getting a marginal position in a Shao family enterprise would be a profitable deal.
Shao Yinan let out a soft laugh, skillfully masking his impatience. "What do you want from me, Second Brother?"
His tone was cold, emphasizing the words "Second Brother".
Hearing Shao Yinan's address, the smile on Shao Yuanjia's face grew wider.
He knew that Shao Yinan was very good at maintaining appearances.
Even if he was annoyed and disgusted with him deep down, he would never show it on his face.
From this alone, one could tell that Shao Yinan was a very scheming person.
Shao Yuanjia started to scheme in his mind.
His gaze shifted to Wen Yin standing beside Shao Yinan.
"Miss Wen Yin, right?" Shao Yuanjia said slowly, his eyes full of playfulness.
"Since it's our first meeting, please allow me to introduce myself."
"I'm Shao Yinan's second brother, Shao Yuanjia."
Shao Yuanjia extended his hand towards Wen Yin. The smile on his face made Wen Yin feel uncomfortable.
It was as if she had been targeted by a cold and slimy snake. One wrong move and she might end up in its mouth.
Wen Yin suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and extended her fair little hand towards him.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Wen Yin."
Watching Wen Yin calmly introduce herself.
She was just like the woman who had calmly explained things in front of Eternal Love earlier.
Shao Yuanjia had to admit.
There was indeed something about this woman that attracted him.
It seemed that Shao Yinan had really struck it lucky.
"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving," Shao Yinan said politely, nodding at Shao Yuanjia.
But a flash of coldness and gloom passed through his eyes.
Watching their departing backs, Shao Yuanjia hooked his lips playfully.
Wen Yin was really an interesting woman.
Looking as if they had just shaken off two pieces of sticky plaster, Shao Yinan was in a relatively good mood.
The two of them came to an empty balcony. The oncoming wind cleared Wen Yin's mind a bit.
"Are you very familiar with Qi Siran?" Wen Yin finally asked, unable to dispel the doubts in her heart.
"Qi Siran?" Shao Yinan frowned imperceptibly when he mentioned this name.
"I'm just a neighbor of hers. We don't have much interaction."
Shao Yinan explained their relationship in just one sentence.
Wen Yin naturally believed him.
But the strange feeling that surrounded Qi Siran lingered in her mind.
Wen Yin always felt that Qi Siran was not as simple as she seemed on the surface.
After all, it was impossible to survive in a wealthy family like this without a bit of shrewdness.
"Every time I see Qi Siran, I always feel that her complexion is not very good. Why is that?" Wen Yin recalled Qi Siran's sickly pale complexion. Even with makeup and lipstick, it couldn't be concealed at all.
Could it be that the sickly beauty trend was in vogue recently?
Mentioning this, Shao Yinan finally showed some reaction.
"Qi Siran had some problems when she was born, so her heart is not very good. She has been weak and sickly since childhood and has been like a pill-popper all her life," he said.
Hearing Shao Yinan say this, Wen Yin nodded.
So that's why. That explained Qi Siran's pale complexion.
Because she had been weak and sickly since childhood, the Qi family had been extremely attentive to her, and Mrs. Qi had been especially caring towards her.
"When she was a child, Mrs. Qi originally didn't want Qi Siran to go to school. Instead, she wanted to hire a tutor to teach her at home."
"But Qi Siran insisted on going to school, crying and throwing tantrums."
Shao Yinan calmly recounted Qi Siran's childhood story.
"Was it because of you?" Wen Yin raised her eyebrows. Under the light, her beautiful eyes sparkled.
Her eyes were as charming as silk, even more alluring.
After all, from the first time she saw Qi Siran, Wen Yin had felt that her attitude towards Shao Yinan was different.
Although Qi Siran had tried hard to pretend to have a younger sister's admiration for her elder brother.
But her eyes couldn't lie.
Shao Yinan shook his head and said softly, "Who knows why? It has nothing to do with me."
"We're just simple neighbors. There's nothing else between us."
Shao Yinan's answer could be considered the epitome of male virtue.
Wen Yin's gaze was fixed on the magnificent Qi family mansion in the distance, as if she was deep in thought.
After a long time, Wen Yin seemed to have thought of something.
Mrs. Qi's attitude towards Qi Siran also seemed a bit strange.
Before Wen Yin could think further, she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder.
She saw that Shao Yinan had taken off his suit and draped it over her.
"It's cold at night," he said.
Wen Yin nodded and reached out to hold Shao Yinan's hand.
She raised her head and locked eyes with Shao Yinan.
"I'll be going to the head office in a few days. The new general manager will probably arrive soon," she said.
Shao Yinan reached out and brushed aside the stray hairs on Wen Yin's forehead.
"The distance between the Shao Corporation and Shaohua isn't too far. I can still pick up and drop off my little girlfriend," he said, trying to lighten the somewhat stiff atmosphere.
A faint blush involuntarily crept across Wen Yin's face.
But it wasn't noticed in the dim light.
"I can manage on my own," she said.
Shao Yinan let out a soft chuckle from his throat and was just about to say something else when a slight noise came from behind them.
Their gazes simultaneously swept towards the back like knives.
The atmosphere instantly turned cold.
