Despite appearing gentle and serene, she turns into a devil when it comes to fighting. It's terrifying!
Yin Qing couldn't care less about her younger brother still in the bushes. She turned around and ran into the car, twisting the key and driving away!
Qing Yan: ...
Her gaze fell on the dozen or so people in the bushes, moaning in pain. She glanced at the street and saw Si Yechen's car approaching from afar.
"Stay quiet."
Upon hearing the girl's words, the thugs covering their mouths dared not make a sound, no matter how much pain they were in.
Yin Wu was trembling in fear. He had just witnessed the girl's power. She may have looked delicate, but her strikes were stronger than those of professional fighters...
It's terrifying!
Qing Yan walked to the side of the road, and Si Yechen's car happened to stop. He got out and stood in front of Qing Yan, opening the car door for her. "My precious Yan Yan, you've waited long."
"Not for long." Qing Yan got into the passenger seat. "Actually, there was no need for you to come pick me up."
"I missed you." Si Yechen bent down to fasten her seatbelt.
Qing Yan observed his handsome features, at such a close distance that she could even see Si Yechen's well-defined nose and smooth skin...
"I'm not a three-year-old child."
After helping her with the seatbelt, Si Yechen raised his indulgent gaze and looked at her. Each word he spoke held warmth. "Regardless of your age, in my eyes, you're still a child." He wanted to cradle her in his hands and shower her with love.
Qing Yan's face inexplicably grew warm.
Si Yechen closed the passenger door and was about to get into the driver's seat when he noticed two empty cars beside them, with their doors open.
He glanced around but didn't see anyone else nearby. Paying no mind to it, he got into the car and asked the girl next to him, "What were we discussing for collaboration just now?"
"Outsourcing." Qing Yan glanced at the rearview mirror. None of those people crawled out of the bushes. It seemed she had been a bit too forceful, and they wouldn't be getting up anytime soon.
"Will you help me with outsourcing in a few days too?"
Qing Yan: ??
"It's for a new company, won't attract attention."
"..."
Si Yechen asked while driving, "Are you hungry? Should I take you to eat something first?"
Qing Yan checked the time; it was almost noon, so she agreed.
Inside a private room in the restaurant...
Si Yechen let her order the dishes. As he held her hand, he suddenly noticed that the feeling was different from usual.
In fact, it felt a bit damp!
He lowered his gaze and saw that her right hand had an injured fist with two bloody cuts!
"You're injured? When did it happen?"
Si Yechen must have accidentally touched her wound when he held her hand without paying attention!
He felt self-reproach for his carelessness. "I hurt you just now."
The silly girl endured the pain without even complaining, even though he accidentally touched her wound...
Qing Yan didn't know when she got injured. She lightly glanced at the wound and casually said, "Oh, it's nothing."
It didn't hurt much; she probably got it accidentally while hitting someone earlier. Perhaps it was due to accessories like zippers on the person's clothes that she accidentally scraped against...
She couldn't remember the specific reason.
Si Yechen called the restaurant manager and asked him to bring the first aid kit. The restaurant manager was quite frightened, thinking that the young girl brought by Mr. Si was injured in his restaurant. He entered the room and started apologizing profusely...
He even promised to replace everything in the private room, ensuring that no sharp edges or corners would appear again...
Qing Yan couldn't help but suppress her laughter at his frightened appearance. "It's not your concern, you can leave now."
The restaurant manager, feeling as if he had been granted a second life, bowed and expressed his gratitude before quickly leaving.
"Where did you get hurt?" Si Yechen asked with concern, "How did it happen?"
"I forgot."
Qing Yan truly couldn't remember.
During her time in the Triangle District, she didn't know how many injuries she had sustained or how much blood she had shed, but she never shed a tear or uttered a single word of pain...
Now, these two small cuts, measuring only two centimeters in length, were nothing more than an itch to her, not worth mentioning.
"Did someone bully you?" Si Yechen asked, his gaze filled with both heartache and concern, "Who did it?"
"No one," Qing Yan reassured him, "I don't know when I got them. It's nothing, it doesn't hurt."
Si Yechen lowered his eyelids, concealing the anger in his eyes. This girl, he couldn't even bear to bully her himself. Who dared to harm her!
He would definitely find out.
"Let me apply some medicine, it might sting a bit..." Si Yechen's actions were gentle, "If it hurts, just say so, don't endure it."
Qing Yan: ???
She didn't even cry when she was cut with a knife in the past, and now these two small cuts weren't worth her effort...
Si Yechen gently disinfected and dressed her wounds, not hearing a single sound from her throughout the process. The little girl must be afraid that he would feel sorry for her, so she endured it. Thinking like this, he became even more determined to find the person who had bullied her.
Qing Yan felt speechless as Si Yechen wrapped her hand with gauze, layer by layer.
"No need for this," she wanted to remove the gauze. It was too conspicuous.
She still had to go to work.
Having her hand wrapped like this would attract too much attention.
"Wrap the wound if you're injured, otherwise it might get infected and hinder proper recovery, leaving a scar. What should we do if it scars?"
Qing Yan: ...
"Does it still hurt?"
Qing Yan didn't actually feel any pain, but Si Yechen's heart was still torn. He suddenly remembered the two empty cars by the roadside just now...
"It doesn't hurt. You're overly concerned," Qing Yan didn't think much of the minor injury, but she felt a warm sensation in her heart knowing he cared so much.
At that moment, a knocking sound was heard, and the restaurant manager who had left earlier pushed in a food cart.
"Sir, Mr. Si, I-I'm here to serve the food..."
No waiter dared to enter. Thus, the manager had to come and face the music...
As soon as he entered, he saw the usually cold Si Yechen actually holding a girl and whispering something softly.
There was no need to say anything; it was obvious that Si Yechen was in love and cared deeply about the girl before him.
The restaurant manager lowered his head and served the food, wishing them a pleasant meal. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Si Yechen's voice.
"Wait."
The restaurant manager trembled, thinking, "Could Mr. Si still want to settle the bill from earlier?"
"Sir, if necessary, I can immediately call a doctor to have this young lady checked..."
"Take the medicine box."
"Huh?" The restaurant manager thought he was hallucinating. Was that it? Nothing else?
"Why are you still standing there?"
"Yes, yes, I'll take it away..." The restaurant manager quickly grabbed the medicine box and hurriedly left with the food cart.
He had expected Si Yechen to fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, Si Yechen's temper was quite good. He wasn't as terrible as the rumors suggested.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
When Yin Panpan and Li Chunyuan arrived at the Sunshine Coast, they were both stunned!
Such a high-end residential area, and it only costs 3,500 to live here?
They felt as if they were walking on cloud nine. Following He Ning to the 10th floor and entering the password, the environment that greeted them left them dumbfounded!
