"Moreover, I didn't say it was about this aspect. Little Mrs. Shen is overthinking. But your summary is quite on - point. Keep it up next time."
Shi Wan: "..."
She shook off his hand and walked up the path, grumbling all the way.
Shen Siyan lowered his eyes and smiled softly, then followed her, "Sweetheart, don't walk so fast."
The two of them walked and chatted all the way. They didn't feel tired at all. Their light steps amazed the people around them.
How could they have such good physical strength?
They had climbed all the way from the bottom of the mountain...
A few hours later, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
Although the temple was located on a high mountain, there were quite a number of people coming to the temple every day. Even though it was already evening, there were still many pilgrims.
Shen Siyan held her hand tightly to avoid getting separated in the crowd.
"Do you want to go in and pay respects?"
"Yes."
Shi Wan didn't know why Shen Siyan believed in such things, but as long as it was something he wanted to do, she would accompany him.
After paying respects, he led her to the wishing tree. They stood on opposite sides and wrote down their own wishes.
"Benefactor, with such a bright future ahead, don't you want to think about yourself?" the monk in front of Shi Wan suddenly asked.
Shi Wan curled her lips. After quickly finishing writing, she said, "Isn't he my future?"
The monk smiled, "That benefactor over there feels the same way."
When Shi Wan was hanging up her wish, Shen Siyan had just finished writing. Due to the difference in height, she couldn't see what he had written.
"What is it?"
"Want to know?" He lowered his eyes and smiled gently, "Kiss me and I'll tell you."
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate here?"
"Then you owe me one."
Actually, he didn't want to be watched by so many people either. Moreover, he could ask for more in private.
"Okay."
Shen Siyan led her to stroll around for a while and then they went down the mountain.
In the evening, they finally returned to the hotel according to the information sent by the driver.
After a whole - day's climb, Shi Wan went to bed early. When Shen Siyan came out of the bathroom, her steady breathing filled the room.
The man softened his gaze. He tiptoed to her side, bent down, and kissed her on the lips.
Originally, he wanted to pray for an eternity with her, but later he realized that her safety was more important than an eternity.
As long as she could live a safe life, just watching her from afar would satisfy him.
He wondered what his little wife had prayed for today.
Was it related to him or not?
He didn't delve into these questions. He gently hugged her into his arms and fell asleep contentedly.
...
The two of them played outside for several days before returning. As soon as Shen Siyan got back to the company, Feng Tong was so excited that he almost knelt down.
God knew how hard these days had been for him!
"Sir..."
"Why are you looking at me with that expression as if your wife has run away? It wasn't me who left."
He put one hand in his pocket and walked past Feng Tong with a cold and elegant air.
Feng Tong: "..."
Well, it was actually not that far off... Bah!
There was no relation. He was just too tired.
"Sir, there will be an international conference later. The documents that need to be processed have been placed on your desk..."
Shen Siyan didn't show up very often. Apart from some important meetings that required his presence, he mostly acted as a behind - the - scenes boss.
"Okay. Where's Wenren Jin?"
"In the office."
Shen Siyan pushed open the door and walked in. Wenren Jin was holding his phone, looking at something with a panicked expression, as if he had seen something terrifying.
He took out his glasses in disbelief and put them on to study it. Hearing the sound, he looked up.
"Shen Siyan!"
The next second, he rushed over with his phone in hand.
Just as Shen Siyan was about to take a step, Wenren Jin stopped in time, "When did you change your WeChat nickname?"
"So what?"
"No, it just doesn't seem to be your style." Wenren Jin was stunned, "Goodnight? Are you going to sleep?"
If it weren't for convenience, this man wouldn't even have a WeChat account.
After he finally got one, his nickname was just a single character, Shen.
'Goodnight' was just... anyway, it wasn't his style.
"May Wanwan be safe."
Wenren Jin was stunned for a moment, then left cursing. He really wanted to slap himself. Why was he so talkative and ask such a question?
Wasn't he full of dog food yet?
May Wanwan be safe... It was equally out of character for him!
"Stop." Shen Siyan called him back, "How's the second branch of the Shen family?"
"Very scheming." He clicked his tongue, "After losing the memorial hall, things have developed exactly as you predicted. There's not a single deviation."
"That was my sweetheart's idea."
Wenren Jin: "..."
He'd better leave.
The person in front of him was no longer the same as before. When their eyes met, all he saw was dog food.
After showing off, Shen Siyan didn't care about Wenren Jin's feelings and started to deal with the documents on the desk.
...
At the Shen family mansion.
"This can't be what Jiao Jiao did!" The second mistress refused to believe the evidence in front of her, "Jiao Jiao is such a well - behaved child. She wouldn't do this. Someone must be framing her."
"So, to avoid any misunderstandings, I specifically invited Ye Chen, a well - known figure in the industry."
Although Shen Cheng also found it hard to believe, he felt that it was reasonable.
He had suspected Shen Jiao before, but he just didn't have any evidence.
"This is impossible. I've raised Jiao Jiao since she was a child. I know her personality better than anyone."
"Is this the result of your upbringing? Raising such an ungrateful girl who even wanted to kill us?!" Shen Tianhong scolded, "She's truly ungrateful!"
The second mistress was on the verge of collapse, "Do you know why she has become like this? Isn't it because of your cold - heartedness? Shi Wan treated her so badly, but instead of helping her, you abandoned her at a critical moment. You—"
"Shut up!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Tianhong, who had been hit on a sensitive nerve, raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face.
Blood oozed from the corner of the second mistress's mouth, "What? Am I wrong? If you really had the ability, you should have gotten rid of Shi Wan and Shen Siyan instead of taking your anger out on us here."
"You!"
"Dad, the most important thing now is Shen Jiao. Now she's hiding in the dark and has someone protecting her. We have to come up with a plan."
Facing the second mistress's downfall, Shen Cheng felt nothing. It was as if he was looking at a stranger.
"What do you suggest?"
"Mr. Si has been quite active recently. If we can ask him for help, not only Shen Jiao but even Shi Wan will have to behave."
Shen Cheng had heard a lot about Mr. Si recently and had also tried to find out his whereabouts, but the man was too mysterious.
Once he made a move, he would be warned immediately, and even his company would be affected.
"What if he refuses?"
"I have a backup plan. Since Ye Chen is willing to help, it won't be a problem to ask him to take action." After a pause, he glanced at the second mistress and lowered his voice, "As long as Ye Chen finds out her whereabouts, I can send someone to get rid of Shen Jiao."
"Okay. You handle this matter."
Although the second mistress didn't hear the latter part, based on her understanding of these two men, she knew it couldn't be anything good. At least she had to remind Shen Jiao to stay far away.
She was her daughter, and would always be.
She would never allow her to be hurt.
After the two men left, the second mistress also left.
...
When Shi Wan logged into the dark web and saw the order message, she didn't even need to think to know who it was from.
But should she end this drama or continue to watch it unfold?
After a moment of hesitation, she quickly made up her mind. She found out Shen Jiao's location and sent it over.
