As soon as they entered, the old man was bickering with Dean Yu again.
Dean Yu looked disdainful. "As long as you wield the hoe well, what corner can't you pry open?"
Shi Wan: "..."
Was this old man doing it on purpose?
She rubbed her forehead. "Grandpa, Dean Yu."
Shen Siyan stared at Dean Yu unkindly and tightened his grip on Shi Wan's hand.
"Isn't Dean Yu busy?"
"Busy? No matter how busy I am, how can it be more important than my granddaughter - in - law?"
The man's eyes turned cold. He took out his phone and sent a message to someone.
Less than half a minute later, the bodyguards came in and dragged Dean Yu away.
"Hey hey hey, what are you doing? This is a hospital!"
"So please don't disturb the patients' rest, Dean Yu." The man said coldly, "Drag him away."
"He doesn't look like a good person." Grandpa Shen snorted. "Wanwan, try to have less contact with such people in the future. You might get influenced badly."
Shi Wan: "..."
Should she explain that the man's grandson was still in high school?
Moreover, didn't Shen Siyan know?
She tickled the palm of his hand. The man looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"His grandson is still in high school."
"I've checked. Sister - brother romances are popular these days, but you can only have a normal relationship with me."
"... Aren't you also a few years older than me?"
She was 19 now, while Shen Siyan was 25, a full 6 years older.
"As long as it's less than ten years, it doesn't count."
"Right right right." The old man said with a smile. "Wanwan, although Siyan is a bit old, older men know how to take care of people, right?"
Shen Siyan's face darkened. Was this old man belittling or praising him?
Shi Wan touched her nose. It seemed that she had been taking care of him before. And the private money he had handed in hadn't been returned to her yet.
"Grandpa, you should have a good rest. We're leaving."
"Hey, you've only been here for a short while. I'm so bored alone in the ward."
"Shall I call Dean Yu back for you?"
"No need."
Shen Siyan curled his lips. Knowing that the old man didn't want to see Dean Yu, he easily took Shi Wan away.
They originally planned to go home, but on the way, Shen Siyan received a call from Bai Yun. He signaled with the turn - signal and drove towards Bai Yun's law firm.
Bai Yun seemed to have just returned from somewhere. She looked much haggard.
"Did you just come back from a refugee - like situation?"
"No. I took on a big case last time and have been busy for a long time. This case earned more for the studio than in a whole year. It's amazing!"
Bai Yun's eyes sparkled when she mentioned it.
"I've done everything you asked me to do before. I called you here today mainly for one thing."
"What's it?"
She glanced outside from time to time. Shen Siyan was still outside.
"How well do you know Shen Siyan?"
As if knowing what she was thinking, Bai Yun got straight to the point.
Shi Wan's hand paused. "What do you want to say?"
"Wanwan, Shen Siyan seems to be different from what we thought. When I went to Beijing on business this time, I saw Shen Siyan when I passed by the Shengshi Financial Group..."
"Did you see him in person? Up close?"
"Not really. But your man is so eye - catching. Who wouldn't take a second look? It's easy to recognize him."
Shi Wan's eyes flashed slightly. "Maybe he has a common face."
"... If you want to perfunctory me, at least come up with a better excuse."
She chuckled. "I'm not teasing you anymore. I don't know much about what kind of person he is, but I'm willing to take a gamble on him."
"What if you lose?"
"Cut off all ties, go our separate ways, and never see each other again."
Bai Yun's heart trembled. She knew that Shi Wan was a person who would keep her word, and it was not impossible for her to say such a decisive thing.
But once one was in love, how could it be so easy to cut off?
"I hope he won't let you down."
"Yeah." Shi Wan checked the time. "Do you have anything else? If not, I'll leave first."
"Nothing. Be careful."
If they really broke up in the end, she would surely stand by Shi Wan's side.
When Shi Wan went out, Shen Siyan had somehow come in. He was sitting on the reception sofa not far away.
There was a woman beside him, offering tea and smiling as she said something.
"Sir, would you like something to eat? I made this myself. It tastes really good. Try it?"
Shen Siyan sat there with a cold face, saying nothing, as if he didn't see the woman in front of him.
The woman didn't give up. "Sir..."
"The taste is really good."
Suddenly, someone picked up a piece of the pastry on the table. Then the woman saw a familiar face.
"Do you want some?"
She looked at Shen Siyan.
"Come here."
As soon as Shi Wan walked to his side, the man stretched out his long arm, pulled her onto his lap.
"Try it?"
The man took a bite following her movement. "It's not as good as what I make. If you really want to eat, I'll make it for you at home."
"Okay."
Shi Wan finished the remaining pastry in her hand and looked coldly at the woman with a pale face.
Under the woman's embarrassed and pale face, the two left the law firm.
As soon as they got in the car, Shi Wan closed her eyes. "Wake me up when we get home. I'm tired."
"Are you angry?"
The man pondered for a while and asked.
"About what happened just now..."
Seeing the doubt in her eyes, he reminded her.
"Of course not. You didn't eat it, right? I still trust you on this."
Shen Siyan felt warm in his heart, and there was also great excitement. The person who gave him such unconditional trust was his little sweetheart.
The car stopped outside the Shen family's house. The man unbuckled his seat - belt and leaned close to her. He whispered, "How could I bear to let you lose..."
He had heard everything she and Bai Yun said in the law firm just now. How could he bear to let such a wonderful her lose?
He gently touched her lips, then got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, and carefully carried her into the house.
Just as he put her on the bed, the person in his arms slowly woke up.
"Are we home?"
"Yeah. Do you want to go back to sleep?"
"No. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."
He leaned close to her and laughed softly. "Don't I still have me?"
Shi Wan gave him a coquettish look. "Do you want me to prepare something related to Mu Weiran for you too?"
"I don't care, but I'm afraid you can't take it."
Shi Wan admitted defeat. She was still too inexperienced when it came to competing with this man in terms of thick - skinnedness.
"If you don't want to sleep, get up. You can watch TV downstairs."
The man held her around the waist, picked her up like a bear hug, and walked outside.
"The weather is so nice. I have to go and check on my herbs."
"Okay."
"By the way, hasn't there been any result about Shen Jiao's matter?"
"Not yet. It seems someone has reminded her of something. She used a very common toxin."
"Let's bring the police there when she goes to the hospital."
The man raised his eyebrows. "What do you want to do?"
"Of course, it's to find out the truth. I have to go to an archaeological site the day after tomorrow. I don't have time to play with her."
"Okay."
Shen Siyan held her with one hand. "How about it? I've taken good care of them, right?"
"Have you learned this?"
Shi Wan inspected the herbs in the field. They were taken care of more carefully than she did herself, and they had grown a lot in such a short time.
It was hard for an outsider to achieve such results, not to mention a rich young master like Shen Siyan, who probably rarely even had contact with such things on a normal day.
"I've read some books before."
"You're amazing. I'll give you half of the money if I sell them."
"Hmm?" He was dissatisfied. "Don't you want me to hand it in?"
