"Hello."
"Student Shi Wan, I have something to ask you for help. I wonder..."
"Sorry, I'm busy."
The woman, who was not used to being defied, frowned slightly. "It's just a small favor. It won't take you long."
"Sorry, I don't have the time."
The atmosphere grew tense.
Those present didn't dare to look directly, but their curiosity was piqued. They all pricked up their ears.
Would they start fighting?
This woman was not to be trifled with. If you offended her, you'd be in for a world of trouble even after graduation.
But Shi Wan... seemed equally tough.
"Student Shi Wan, don't be so uncooperative."
The woman's smile turned cold. She was clearly infuriated by Shi Wan's attitude.
This time, Shi Wan simply ignored her. Instead, she picked up a bottle of medicine and handed it to Zheng Zhi.
"It'll help if you apply it."
"Thanks, Wanwan."
The woman grew even angrier. She slammed her hand on the table. "Shi Wan, if you're willing to help me, you'll be well - compensated!"
"And if I don't?"
The woman hesitated. Shi Wan was a tough nut to crack. Even the school principal was on her side, and she had many connections.
If she really offended her, in the future...
"Of course, nothing will happen. Just think it over."
"Wanwan, why don't you help her?"
After the woman left, Zheng Zhi asked curiously.
Shi Wan didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "Are you afraid of her?"
Zheng Zhi stiffened. "W - What?"
"Never mind. Let's focus on the class."
Zheng Zhi tightened her grip on the pen and lowered her head.
After class, as expected, Shi Wan was stopped again.
It was the same woman.
"Student Shi Wan, have you made up your mind?"
Shi Wan remained calm. "What if I say no?"
"Then you'll have to come with us."
"This is a school."
The woman sneered, as if mocking Shi Wan's naivety. "We'll just leave the school then."
Shi Wan nodded. "Let's go."
The woman: "......?"
Although puzzled, she led the others and followed.
As soon as they left the school, the woman was about to order the bodyguards to seize Shi Wan. But before they could even touch her, a group of black - clad men emerged from nowhere and quickly subdued them.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
The woman was furious. She had observed Shi Wan for a long time and only dared to act when she was alone. But who would have thought...
"Don't act rashly. We're all civilized people."
Shi Wan's smile didn't reach her eyes. Her words were laced with a cold edge that sent shivers down people's spines.
"Yes."
A man got out of the car. He glanced coldly at the group and then looked at Shi Wan tenderly. "Let's go."
Shi Wan didn't need to worry about the rest.
"Shen Jiao escaped."
As soon as they got in the car, the man's voice sounded.
Shi Wan paused. "Did the Second Madam and the others do it?"
"No." He hugged her. "The Second Madam would have liked to rescue her, but the other two didn't. They treated Shen Jiao so badly that they don't dare to let her out now."
"She escaped on her own?"
"Most likely, but we can't rule out other possibilities."
Shi Wan was silent for a moment. "Shen Jiao's social circle is simple. There aren't many complex people around her. It would be difficult for someone to rescue her."
Shen Siyan nodded. "I'll assign some people to protect you recently. Do you mind?"
In case Shen Jiao decided to go all out, if she dared to get close to Shi Wan, he would have her taken care of without hesitation.
"Haven't you already assigned people?"
"If you don't like it, I can have them leave." He played with her loose hair absent - mindedly. "But I'll follow you myself."
"Don't you trust my abilities?"
Shi Wan raised an eyebrow.
"No, it's just to be on the safe side."
"You'd better assign someone to follow me."
He frowned. "Don't you like me following you personally?"
"No." She said lazily, "Don't you have work to do? You need to work hard to support the family."
"Yes, Mrs. Shen."
He laughed softly and leaned over to kiss her, not caring about the driver in front.
After so many times, the driver had long since learned to turn a blind eye and focused on driving without being affected.
The man was quite restrained. He gently patted her back. "Be good..."
Shi Wan was drowsy and responded with a soft murmur.
"Do you want to go on a trip in a few days?"
"What kind of trip?"
"You'll find out then."
Shi Wan rolled her eyes. He was being mysterious again.
Seeing this, Shen Siyan chuckled. He tightened his arm slightly and lifted the woman in his arms. She looked up just as he lowered his head, and his soft lips met hers.
"Don't be so impatient. You'll get it when we get home."
Shi Wan: "......"
He was cheating.
She snorted and ignored him.
The man was unhappy. He pinched her chin with two fingers and leaned in for a kiss, domineering and intense.
Shi Wan was completely in his arms and almost couldn't catch her breath. Fortunately, the man finally let go.
"Where's that flirty attitude you had before?"
"Who was flirting with you? It was you who seduced me into saying those things."
"Really?" He couldn't help but laugh. "So you've had a crush on me for a long time?"
Shi Wan: "......"
"Could it be that you wanted to sleep with me at first sight..."
"Shut up. That's just your imagination. I didn't have such thoughts when I first saw you."
She did have those thoughts the second time she saw him. Although the feeling was faint, looking back, it seemed reasonable.
Who could resist this man with his good looks and great figure?
"Little vixen."
Shen Siyan could always tell what she was thinking. He reached out and scraped the tip of her nose, smiling.
"Don't you dare say you're not attracted to my beauty?"
"No." He said seriously, "I'm attracted to my little wife's body."
Shi Wan: "......"
She didn't want to talk.
Thankfully, the partition was up. Were these kinds of racy words meant for public consumption?
"I know, you're also attracted to my body. Don't worry, it's all yours when we get home."
Shi Wan's face grew redder and redder, but she pretended to be calm. "It's only natural. There's nothing strange about it."
Shen Siyan didn't say a word.
"...... I'm telling the truth. Anyone would feel the same way."
"Hmm?"
He lifted his eyes, his gaze full of danger.
"What I mean is, anyone would have such thoughts."
"Would you have those thoughts about someone else?"
She stared at the man and licked her lips. "Do you mean before or now?"
No, why was she discussing such things with a man?
"Wait... Let's not talk about this..."
"Why not? Are you feeling guilty?"
The man wouldn't let it go. He slowly approached her in the confined space.
