Qin Zhen had already prepared an excuse, seemingly immune to her words. He said directly, “Given what just happened, I’m afraid you might not handle it well. I thought of sending you back.”
Shen Qingyue couldn’t hold back and rolled her eyes at him without any ladylike demeanor, “President Qin, you were inside just now, didn’t even make a sound. And now you’re concerned about me? Do you think I’m out of my mind? Want to send me back?”
Qin Zhen remained composed, “I was just being considerate, you…”
Shen Qingyue interrupted him, “Considerate? Did I ask for your consideration? Do I need it? If you’re truly considerate, could you please shut up and stop showing up in front of me? A few minutes ago, you were standing by Yan Xi, accusing me. If you think I shouldn’t have done this or that, why don’t you seek justice for her since she’s trapped inside now? I don’t need your kindness.”
“I didn’t know about what she did…” Qin Zhen couldn’t justify himself properly, but his temper remained defiant, “Besides, ignorance is an excuse. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have said those things.”
“Others might be excused for their ignorance, but President Qin, you always, without fail, immediately assume it’s my fault whenever there’s a conflict between me and others. You’ve always been like this. I’ve gotten used to it and I don’t want to deal with you anymore!”
Qin Zhen fell silent under her rebuke. He wanted to say it wasn’t true, but upon reflection, he realized that regardless of what happened, his initial reaction always leaned towards blaming Shen Qingyue… and in the end, it was always Shen Qingyue who got hurt.
Seeing he didn’t know what to say, Shen Qingyue sneered, “I suppose you have figured it out. In that case, stop sticking to me like a piece of sticky plaster. It’s truly annoying. I don’t know if you can understand how irritating it is! I’m begging you, stop being so annoying.”
By the end, Shen Qingyue was so angry that her teeth were grinding. This man was truly repugnant to her; he might as well just die!
Hearing Shen Qingyue’s tone, Qin Zhen felt as if his heart had been squeezed, unable to breathe. He remembered the times when Shen Qingyue used to chase after him, saying similar things countless times. He had found her annoying, detested everything she did for him. Back then, he just wanted to avoid her, never considering it a problem. But now, hearing those words repeated again and again, he realized how it felt to be driven away with disdainful expressions and tones.
Just a few months of experiencing this, and he felt breathless. Yet, Shen Qingyue had endured this for years.
After Shen Qingyue finished scolding him, she didn’t spare him another glance and walked towards the parking lot, her mood soured.
Qin Zhen hurried after her, intending to say something more.
Chi Ming directly blocked his way, his gaze cold, “President Qin, please stop. Qingyue, he’s not someone you can catch anymore.” There were layers of meaning in his words, and he wanted Qin Zhen to understand them clearly.
Qin Zhen clenched his teeth, his eyes sinister, “I didn’t plan to pursue her. My fiancee is Wei Jiu’er! I came here out of our past friendship…”
“Self-deception has always been President Qin’s hobby, I know that much,” Chi Ming ruthlessly exposed him, “But your entanglement, your inability to let go, it’s really beneath contempt.”
Qin Zhen, always proud, was stung by Chi Ming’s words. He retorted, “Women like Shen Qingyue are a dime a dozen. What’s there to hold onto? It’s only you who treats her like a treasure!”
“Exactly, no matter what you say, I hope you’re a man of your word, President Qin. If you let go, let go completely! Don’t interfere in our affairs again and again,” Chi Ming said, his tone carrying a hint of threat, “I’ve always had a bad temper. If certain people go too far, I might not be able to control my rage. For example, making Qin Group accompany you to your grave?”
He hadn’t acted against Qin Zhen before because he didn’t want Shen Qingyue to suffer. He didn’t want her to feel even the slightest bit of discomfort because of Qin Zhen. But now, things were different. Shen Qingyue’s feelings were clear, and he didn’t have any reservations anymore. If Qin Zhen continued to struggle, things wouldn’t be this easy to talk through. He had endured Qin Zhen’s actions for a long time.
Qin Zhen’s face darkened, and he sneered, “Chi Ming, don’t be too arrogant! No one can control everything! Qin Group isn’t some stray dog or cat that you can threaten!”
Chi Ming smiled without saying a word, just gave him a meaningful look and turned away.
Qin Zhen stared at Chi Ming’s retreating figure, his sense of resentment growing. He was acutely aware that sooner or later, Chi Ming and Shen
Qingyue would end up together, and he would have no chance. Clearly, Shen Qingyue was supposed to be his! For the first time in months, he felt regret and considered the idea of not divorcing Shen Qingyue..
