"Be gentler next time?" He chuckled. "It's only natural. Don't they understand? Didn't you teach them these things when you were giving them classes?"
"Do you think I dared?"
"You're right. If you had, I wouldn't have let them off."
In this regard, she could only teach him, though it had always been him teaching her up until now.
During the meal, the students finally felt what it was like to be brutally "fed dog food."
The two of them didn't do anything overly intimate, but every interaction between them hit the students right in the heart.
What was even scarier was that Shen Siyan was only tender when he was with Shi Wan. As soon as she stepped out of the room...
By the end, their hands were shaking as they picked up their chopsticks.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Shi Wan asked while accepting the man's feeding.
"Y-yes, we are. The food in this restaurant is really good," one of the men said bravely. "How come we never noticed this place before?"
It seemed they shouldn't come here often in the future.
Every memory was like a sharp blade.
When they were leaving, Shi Wan was about to tell them something, but in the blink of an eye, they were gone.
The students never expected that the usually cold and aloof Professor Shi would be like this when in love.
"Why did they leave so quickly?"
"Maybe they had something urgent to do."
The internship site of Kyoto University had a cooperation with them. Were those people interns too?
"Let's go. We should go back too."
...
Within one night, Shen Siyan's identity was exposed, and he quickly became a new rising star in the capital. His outstanding looks always made people think he belonged in the entertainment industry rather than the business world.
"His looks are just mind - blowing, okay?!"
"Don't stop me. I need to drool over his photos!"
"Everyone used to say that Shen Siyan was just a pretty face, but it turns out he's really capable. He and Shi Wan are such a perfect match!"
"Am I the only one who thinks Shi Wan doesn't deserve Shen Siyan? In terms of family background, Shi Wan is at a disadvantage. Even if she's talented, her family isn't strong enough."
"Me too, not just you."
"Whether she deserves him or not is not for others to decide. I actually think Shen Siyan doesn't deserve our Sister Shi Wan. She's so outstanding, and Shen Siyan is just reaping the benefits. If he didn't have the capital, would he have achieved what he has today?"
"..."
Under the posts about the two of them, some people started arguing, while the two people involved were still having fun in the manor as if nothing had happened.
"Aren't you going to work today? People will talk about you again later," Shi Wan said as she took off her shoes and sat by the water, swinging her legs.
"Who would dare?" Shen Siyan frowned, picked her up, and said, "Stop playing. Your legs will hurt if you play with water for too long."
"I'm going to the company later. Will you stay at home alone?"
"I'll go with you."
A smile played on Shi Wan's lips. "Shen Siyan, why are you so clingy?"
"Not allowed to be clingy?"
"Not allowed."
He pretended to be angry. "Fine. You used to say I was your favorite, but now you won't let me be clingy. What a heartless woman."
Shi Wan's attention was drawn to him, and she didn't notice that he was walking towards the bedroom.
By the time she realized it, it was too late.
The man pinned her against the door, silencing the words she hadn't had time to say. He kissed all the way down and precisely landed on her sexy collarbone...
"Let's go later. First, let you see how clingy I can be."
She let out a muffled moan and didn't even know how she ended up on the bed in the end.
After the man had his fill, he even teased her. "Boss, didn't you say you were going to the company?"
As he spoke, his gentle kisses fell on her face and lips.
"You can't be so lazy."
He chuckled, his face full of satisfaction.
Shi Wan closed her eyes and instinctively slapped at him without thinking.
Shen Siyan caught her hand, kissed it on his lips, and asked, "Not going anymore?"
"You go by yourself."
When she opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes were full of resentment.
"But you said..."
"You didn't say that just now!"
Seeing the smile on his face, Shi Wan wished she could jump up.
"Hmm? What did I say? I only seem to remember someone saying no..."
"Shut up." She was too embarrassed to care and covered his mouth. "Hurry up and go."
"Don't be in a rush. There's still plenty of time. One more round won't hurt."
The man's hot gaze landed on her fair skin exposed. He grabbed her hand, gently pulled her into his arms, and leaned down to kiss her soft lips.
...
Shen Siyan went to the company in the afternoon. Since his identity had been exposed, many people looked at him with admiration when he entered.
So this was their boss. They had thought he was transferred from somewhere.
"Sir, the CEO of the Chen Group is waiting for you in the reception room," Feng Tong whispered.
"Don't see him."
"They said that if you're willing, you can choose anything from the Chen family."
Shen Siyan wasn't joking. Within just a few days, the Chen family couldn't bear it anymore and had begged for mercy.
The Chen family wasn't a small family. Allowing him to choose anything from their possessions meant a huge profit.
However...
"My wife was wronged by others. Do you think I'll let her be wronged here?" Shen Siyan said coldly. "If something like this happens again, you don't need to come to work anymore."
"Yes, sir."
Feng Tong underestimated Shi Wan's position in his heart. After all, who would go against profit?
Now he knew that Shen Siyan would.
After having someone reject the Chen family, Shen Siyan received a call from Grandpa Shen as expected.
"Grandpa."
"You rascal! You had such abilities but still hid them from me. Were you afraid I'd kill you?!"
The old man had doted on this precious grandson for so many years, and suddenly found out that he was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. It was only natural for him to be angry.
"I was in poor health before. I was afraid you'd worry if I told you. The more people knew, the more likely there would be rumors."
Moreover, in that situation at that time, if the old man had known, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't have tried to harm him.
"Humph! You just thought I was in the way!" the old man said angrily. "Other people's grandchildren are like warm cotton - padded jackets, but you're like a piece of iron, and a cold and drafty one at that. I should have made Wanwan my granddaughter - in - law earlier."
"But now she's your granddaughter - in - law. Isn't it the same?"
"But she still sides with you more. When she didn't know your identity before, she protected you like the apple of her eye."
"Of course."
Thinking of Shi Wan, Shen Siyan's whole demeanor softened, and the affection in his words couldn't be hidden.
"Explain this matter to Wanwan properly. If she leaves, don't come back either!"
Faced with his unfilial grandson, the old man chose his granddaughter - in - law.
"Don't worry. She won't leave."
"Better be so. When are you planning to come back?"
The news from the capital had spread here. Overnight, the Shen family had many more business partners coming to their door, and the company's orders had also increased significantly.
It was still a bit inconvenient that there was no one in charge of the company.
"After I've finished all the things here."
"Okay. I'll wait for you."
The old man's voice was a bit menacing. He still couldn't let go of this matter.
Shen Siyan smiled and didn't take it to heart.
