Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Qingyue did not even know what to say anymore. “Thank you. You helped me last time too, and my head was swollen for days. This time you helped me, and I got hit on the back. I didn’t mean to blame you, but both last time and this time, if you hadn’t delayed me by speaking to me, I probably wouldn’t have encountered these people, right? And what attitude did I have? Weren’t you like this to me in the past too?”
She also knew that she could not blame everything on Qin Zhen. However, she was really unlucky. Besides, she did not ask Qin Zhen to take action and protect her, right?
Qin Zhen was speechless.
He changed the topic. “Why did Wang Anning attack you?”
With Chen Ying’s reputation involved, Shen Qingyue naturally would not say much. “It’s nothing.”
Seeing her deliberately concealing something, Qin Zhen’s tone became worse.
“What are you hiding? In any case, Jiu’er and I were implicated by you tonight!” After speaking, he knew his tone was not good and fell silent.
Shen Qingyue said, “Thank you again! Another day, I will ask Yu Zhuang to prepare a generous for you as an apology. Goodbye.” She did not want to say anything more, turned around, and slowly walked away.
Qin Zhen looked at her stubborn figure, wanting to go after her, to at least send her back home. But at this moment, Wei Jiu’er came out and held his hand. “Zhen, I’m so scared. Can you walk me home?”
Qin Zhen halted his steps and after a while said, “Alright.”
After comforting Wei Jiu’er for a while, when he looked up again, Shen Qingyue was already gone.
How many times was it now? Again and again, he watched Shen Qingyue’s retreating figure as she walked away… Until he could not see it anymore.
Shen Qingyue walked to the side of the road and took out her phone to call a cab, but her phone had run out of battery. She did not have any cash on her either, and waiting was not an option. She had to walk back. Luckily, her private apartment was not far from here, maybe just a little over twenty minutes away. She decided to head there first.
The night had grown deep, and there were fewer cars on the road. Under the neatly aligned phoenix trees, it seemed like she was the only one, walking slowly. After an unknown amount of time, a thin man approached from the opposite direction.
Shen Qingyue just glanced at him and kept walking. However, when they passed each other, the man suddenly lunged, snatching her phone and pushing her into the greenery. Her back was already hurting, and this fall made her break out with cold sweat.
She no longer wanted to chase after the thief. After struggling to sit up for a while, standing up was still difficult. And the man had vanished. Today was undoubtedly the unluckiest day for her! The more she thought, the angrier she became, venting her frustration by pulling at the weeds on the ground.
“Miss Shen.”
Hearing this voice, Shen Qingyue hesitated. When she looked up, Chu Ming stood bathed in moonlight, his elegance unchanged. Considering her current disheveled state, she felt incredibly embarrassed. Lowering her head, she covered her face with her clothes. “No, you’ve mistaken me for someone else.”
Chu Ming chuckled and walked over in large strides, grabbing her wrist and lifting her up.
Shen Qingyue covered her face. Even before she moved her clothes away, she felt herself enveloped in a familiar and warm embrace, accompanied by a faint medicinal scent. She did not know what she was thinking, but just a moment ago she felt embarrassed, and now she did not mind. Perhaps she had reached a point of not caring. She asked, “Why do you smell like medicine? Are you sick?”
“It’s nothing, just taking care of my health,” Chu Ming lifted her from the bushes, helped her stand, and then took a phone out of his pocket. “This is yours.”
“Thank you,” Shen Qingyue accepted the phone. “What about that man?” “He’s been sent to the police station.” Chu Ming did noot elaborate.
“I’ll take you back.” His car was nearby.
Shen Qingyue was not about to be dramatic, “I won’t go to the Shen Residence. I have an apartment nearby. It’s too late now, and if the housekeeper sees me in this state, Grandpa will find out.”
Chu Ming naturally agreed. They got in the car and set off.
The entire time, Shen Qingyue did not know that not far behind her, there was a Maybach parked.
Chu Ming glanced at it in the rearview mirror, then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Qin Zhen sat in the car, watching Chu Ming’s car leave. His face remained devoid of warmth, and his eyes were chilling. After sending Wei Jiu’er home, he had been worried about Shen Qingyue’s injury. He had intended to visit the Shen Residence, but what he saw stopped him. Shen Qingyue and Chu Ming again! This fickle woman, changing her mind at the drop of a hat, he had no reason to concern himself with her!
After returning home, Shen Qingyue quickly charged her phone. She tried contacting Chen Ying and Chen Song, but their phones were switched off. It wasn’t until the next morning that Chen Ying messaged her, asking where she was. When she found out Shen Qingyue was at the apartment, she came over directly..
