"It's all sorted out. Now, it's time to settle things between you and me."
Shi Wan was confused. "Things between us? Is there a misunderstanding?"
"No, but it's not quite right for you to flirt and then not take responsibility, is it?"
He took her hand and slowly moved it downward. His scorching breath and the desire in his eyes were like a fire, devouring her.
Her face gradually flushed. "It's you who can't keep your composure."
"Can being composed get me what I want?"
Shi Wan: "..."
"Since it can't, why should I be composed?" He hugged her and kissed her deeply and tenderly. "It was you who seduced me first, yet you say I can't keep my composure?"
Shi Wan: "..."
She really didn't think she had seduced him.
She sat beside him because he told her to, and she sat on his lap because he carried her there. Where did she seduce him?
"Does silence mean you admit it?"
"Does speaking mean I'm just trying to clear myself?"
"No, it's just a lame excuse."
Shi Wan: "..."
Then what's the point of her saying anything?
"Since you think so too, let's go."
He carried her upstairs.
She didn't resist. She was indeed a bit greedy for this man's body.
With such a great figure and being her husband, it would be a waste not to touch.
...
For several consecutive days, Shi Wan would go to the research institute in the morning and return home at night. Shen Siyan stayed at home and didn't go out. He was like a canary kept in a gilded cage by Shi Wan.
Just as Shi Wan was about to leave, Gong Qi, who she hadn't seen for several days, suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Wanwan, there's a gathering tonight. Do you want to go?"
"No, I'm still busy."
"But... okay."
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of the hickey on her neck. The words on the tip of his tongue immediately changed, and his hand in his pocket tightened gradually.
"I'm leaving first. There's a new product recently. You can decline them on my behalf."
"Do you have a target?"
She nodded. "How about cooperating with the Prosperity Group on this project?"
"Great."
The Prosperity Group was a much - sought - after partner. He had also planned to cooperate with this company, but he didn't expect Shi Wan had already approached them first.
This would save a lot of time.
"I'm leaving."
".....Okay."
Gong Qi gritted his teeth secretly. No matter how much he investigated these days, he couldn't find out Shen Siyan's identity.
But no matter who he was, if he wanted to hurt Shi Wan, he had to get through him first.
After dinner, Shi Wan took Shen Siyan out for a walk.
Mu Weiran happened to be nearby. When he saw the two of them, he wasn't even a bit surprised.
"I thought you weren't coming?"
"Can't help it. Just stay here obediently."
Mu Weiran: "..."
He understood. The charm of Shi Wan was more important than company affairs.
Well, he was now working for Shi Wan, and Shen Siyan was just a nominal person.
He glanced at the silent Shi Wan and understood everything.
This man was so arrogant because someone spoiled him.
"Sister - in - law, don't blame me for not warning you. You can't spoil this man. Otherwise..."
Shen Siyan's face darkened. He held Shi Wan's hand and didn't say a word.
"Men understand men best. You're right." She smiled. "However, at least my Siyan has someone to spoil him. Am I right?"
Mu Weiran: "..."
Personal attack.
He should have brought Wenren Jin along.
"Where are you two going?"
He forced a smile.
"We were going to take a walk and relax, but now that we see a single person, we don't feel like it anymore." Under Mu Weiran's murderous gaze, the man continued, "We don't want to be scolded for showing off our love. As good citizens, we still have this sense of public morality."
Mu Weiran left cursing.
Shi Wan found it funny and thought it served him right to see the always - elegant man so angry that he couldn't help but curse.
He clearly knew what kind of person Shen Siyan was but still provoked him. Who else would he get hurt if not him?
"What are you laughing at?"
Shen Siyan pinched her hand. His eyes were full of affection when he looked at her.
"I'm laughing at him for getting what he deserves."
"Hehe..." He pinched her face. "You did well. You should protect your husband."
"When haven't I protected you?"
"There really was one time." Under her curious gaze, he said slowly, "In bed..."
Shi Wan: "..."
How could she protect him then?
It was already good that she didn't kick him!
"Why aren't you saying anything? Am I wrong?"
Shi Wan sneered. "Do you want to know?"
".....Suddenly don't want to."
"Then why don't you hurry up?"
Shen Siyan chased after her and held her hand again. He didn't want to let go for a single second.
"Miss Si?"
Shi Wan stopped and looked at the man who greeted her.
"Hello."
Although they were all neighbors, the villas in the manor were quite far apart. There was basically a hill between them...
Moreover, since she didn't come back very often, she didn't remember any of these people.
"Si..." The man was about to step forward when his eyes suddenly fell on the man beside her. All the shock in his heart was written on his face.
"You... Why are you here..." The man straightened his clothes and said respectfully, "I..."
His self - introduction and excited mood were finally strangled under the man's cold gaze. He couldn't say a single word for a long time.
"Hello, I'm her husband."
"Husband?"
The man was even more stunned. He stared blankly at the two of them.
Although Si Yu's identity was indeed not simple, was it a bit... not good enough to be with this man?
At least a princess from some country would be barely a match, right?
Shi Wan looked at the two of them curiously. "Do you know him?"
"I..." The man stammered and carefully looked at the man's expression. "I was lucky enough to meet him once..."
The people living here all had extraordinary identities, yet this man was so polite to Shen Siyan...
Shen Siyan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been saying that it was easy to run into people in this city, those he knew and those who knew him but he didn't know...
He was really afraid of getting into trouble one day.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at Shi Wan. "Darling, let's go."
"You... Miss Si, I..."
The man really wanted to talk to her about cooperation, but under the man's cold gaze, he stammered and couldn't say a word.
He was a man who had seen the world, but in front of this man, he was like a coward and didn't dare to speak casually.
Even though the man was much younger than him, his status and ability were far beyond his reach.
After the two of them walked far away, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief as if he had taken a heavy burden off his shoulders.
Shi Wan pinched Shen Siyan's hand. "What's going on?"
Shen Siyan was silent. He didn't want to lie to her, but this kind of thing couldn't be explained in a few words.
"Forget it. Tell me when you want to."
"Darling, no matter who I am, I will never hurt you, and I didn't approach you for any benefit." He said in a low voice, "I can always guarantee that you were never a choice for me. You are the goal I will always stick to."
"When did you become so good at flirting?" She changed the topic. "Did you secretly practice with someone?"
She also had a lot of things she hadn't told him. After weighing the pros and cons, not knowing was the best protection for each other.
"Isn't this practicing with you every day?"
Seeing her little thoughts, the man just felt warm in his heart.
He wouldn't let her lose.
He couldn't bear to, and he didn't dare to let her lose.
