"Who?"
"That guy named... Guo Xianhe."
Shi Wan paused in her actions. For some reason, the name sounded vaguely familiar. It wasn't because he was famous, but because she had heard it from someone.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure. Let's go. It seems he wants to discuss cooperation with the SKY Group too."
"Discussing cooperation with the SKY Group but coming to the Shengshi Financial Group?"
"No. He wants to get involved with both companies. The Shengshi Financial Group also has some connections with the entertainment circle." After a pause, he probed, "The SKY Group is also involved. You... don't know?"
Shi Wan: "..."
She really didn't know.
"Jiang Yi is in charge of all this."
"So you really don't know?"
Shi Wan didn't answer. Instead, she looked behind him.
"Aren't you afraid someone will beat you if you get so close to me?"
"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like we're having an affair. Besides..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a murderous gaze on his back. A shiver ran down his spine.
He turned around and almost stumbled. "You... Why are you back so soon? Weren't you in a meeting?"
Shen Siyan had a cold look on his face. "If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known you were going to have an affair with my darling..."
"No, you have to listen to my explanation."
"Come here, darling."
Shi Wan put down the documents and obediently walked over.
As soon as she got close, the man pulled her into his arms. "Don't get so close to him. He'll lead you astray."
Wen Renjin choked on his breath. "I didn't even do anything!"
"Get out."
He quickly ran out of the office without any hesitation.
"Remember to avoid him next time you see him."
"Okay. Did you forget some documents here?"
"No. I just came back to check on you."
Shi Wan: "..."
Was she really that untrustworthy?
"I'll go to the meeting first. I'll take you out to play later."
"Go quickly."
In the meeting room, Wen Renjin sat nervously in the seat diagonally below Shen Siyan, trying his best to blend in.
The next second, he heard the man say, "Wen Renjin, there's a project in Country T. You go and handle it."
"Wasn't this supposed to be given to someone else?"
"I think you're more capable of handling this task." His cold gaze shot towards him. "Any objections?"
"..."
"Meaning you do have objections?"
"No."
Did he dare to object?
If he did, it wouldn't just be Country T. He'd probably end up in Antarctica with the penguins.
"Good. Do it as soon as possible."
"Okay."
This man really held grudges.
After Shi Wan finished processing the documents, the meeting ended.
Shen Siyan returned to the office and pulled her into his arms. "Let's go."
"Wait a bit. I'll wait for Jiang Yi. They're not done yet."
"Okay."
He held her in his arms and took out some snacks from the drawer, placing them in front of her.
"You... How do you have so many snacks here?"
"Wen Renjin used these to woo women."
Shi Wan: "..."
She thought they were his. But then again, this wasn't his own office after all.
"Does he have a girlfriend?"
Shen Siyan's hand on her hair paused. He lowered his eyes. "Are you curious about him?"
"I'm more curious about you."
He smiled and tried to kiss her. "I'll give you an opportunity to explore."
Shi Wan dodged. "Wen Renjin doesn't seem like someone with a girlfriend."
Although he seemed like a playboy, she had never seen any woman around him, not even any rumors.
"He did have one before, but they broke up later." Seeing her curiosity, Shen Siyan slowly said, "His ex-girlfriend and he were about to get married, but due to some accident, it didn't happen. These snacks were just his habitual preparation."
Shi Wan twitched the corner of her mouth. "You're kind of mean..."
It wasn't nice to just take someone else's snacks like this.
"Hmm?"
He raised the end of his voice. His big hand rubbed her waist, a bit menacing.
"No. I mean it's not very appropriate to take someone else's snacks like this."
"It's fine. The one who's still hurting is just him. If he can't let go."
If it were him, if he still liked someone, he'd go after them. If not, he'd let go. What was the point of just one person longing?
She nodded. "That's true..."
"President Shi."
Suddenly, Jiang Yi's voice came from outside the door.
Shi Wan got out of the man's arms and opened the door.
"President Shi, Mr. Shen."
Jiang Yi was curious about Shen Siyan's identity in the Shengshi Financial Group's president's office, but she didn't ask what she shouldn't.
"These are all the approved documents. There are no problems, but there's one document that doesn't work. I've marked it inside and had someone reject that cooperation partner."
"Okay, President Shi."
Jiang Yi trusted Shi Wan very much. It wasn't just because of the years of experience following her, but more because she was truly capable.
"Go out."
"Is it all sorted out?" Shen Siyan walked over and took her hand. "Can we go now?"
"Let's go."
Shen Siyan took her out through the back door. Just as they were about to get in the car, they saw another group of people staring at them in the garage.
Shi Wan raised her eyebrows. Isn't this Guo Xianhe?
She still couldn't remember who she had heard his name from.
The two got in the car as if they hadn't seen them.
On the other side, seeing Guo Xianhe staring at the two, the bodyguard couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Guo, do you want us to bring them over?"
"Find out who they are first."
Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they didn't seem like ordinary people. It wasn't worth it to offend someone.
That woman was really beautiful...
Shen Siyan took her to the night market and walked around like an ordinary couple.
They had nothing special, but they were happier than anyone.
Suddenly—
A car sped towards them!
To be precise, it was aimed at Shi Wan!
Shen Siyan's eyes tightened. He protected her in his arms. The two rolled on the ground a few times and fell to one side.
"Darling, are you okay?"
"I'm okay. You... Are you injured?"
Shi Wan's eyes turned cold. Seeing that the car had already fled the scene, she quickly helped him up and called 120.
"I'm glad you're okay."
That car was clearly aimed at her...
Shi Wan pursed her lips. Her eyes were fixed on the bleeding wound on him. Her face was cold, but her slightly trembling hands betrayed her worried heart.
"It's okay. Don't worry."
The man held her hand and pulled her into his arms, whispering words of comfort.
Shi Wan came back to her senses and took out a pill from her bag. "Take this."
"Okay."
Even though her voice was just one word, he could feel her deep unease.
"Darling, look at me." Shen Siyan's face was a bit pale, but his eyes were firm. "It's just a minor injury. I'm okay. Don't worry."
"What if it was me?"
He was stunned. "You'll be okay."
If it were her, he'd want to kill someone.
He felt heartache even if she just got a scratch, let alone if tonight's accident happened to her.
The ambulance arrived quickly. The two went to the hospital together. The scene was cordoned off by the arriving police for investigation.
Thankfully, it wasn't a serious injury. It was just a fracture of the humerus shaft.
