My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 1856: Chapter 1857: I Asked for His Permission

"Someone got hit."

"Oh my God, there’s a fight over there."

"Who got hit?"

"It seems Mr. Shen was hit."

"Shen Yu?"

"That’s him. I saw his nose bleeding from the beating."

...

Old Madame Shen was worried about her granddaughter but even more so about her grandson. As Mrs. Shen screamed and rushed over to help him up, her face turned grim as she questioned Jiang Chenyue and Chu Aotian.

"Mr. Chu and Madame Chu, what do you mean by this? Are you here as guests or to cause trouble? I’ve never seen guests hit the host at a banquet. The Chu Family is a prestigious family, and our Shen Family is not some roadside stall. Today, Boss Qin’s actions require a reasonable explanation!"

Chu Aotian had no idea why Jiang Chenyue insisted on him accompanying her here, even stubbornly discharged despite the doctor’s protests.

Now, Qin Jun inexplicably provokes the Shen Family repeatedly, escalating to the point of a physical scuffle.

He felt a headache coming, but aside from some oddity and headache on his mature and handsome face, he had no intention of settling scores with Qin Jun. He stepped forward to shield Qin Jun, his stance firm, "Old Madame Shen, I’ve watched Qin Jun grow up, and I understand his character deeply. He is not one to cause trouble without reason. I believe he must have his reasons for acting this way!"

Old Madame Shen and Sir Shen didn’t expect him to protect them to this extent, their faces darkened as they repeated the word "fine." Sir Shen spoke solemnly, "Fine! You claim he has a necessary reason to hit my grandson, I must hear what reason that is!"

Chu Aotian’s protection did not imply irrationality. He glanced at Qin Jun, "Qin Jun, speak, what is your reason?"

His intention was that regardless, Qin Jun should provide a reason, and whether it was reasonable or not wasn’t for the Shen Family to decide.

As long as he deemed it reasonable, even if the Shen Family found it unreasonable, it wouldn’t matter!

If he considered it unreasonable, he would discipline the child when they returned. If the Shen Family wanted to trouble Qin Jun outside, sorry, that’s not how the Chu Family operates!

Anyone with eyes could see his casual attitude, which infuriated them, yet rendered them helpless as their gaze fell on Qin Jun.

Rong Yan was equally surprised that Qin Jun suddenly acted against Shen Yu, finding it strange too, but too many strange things were happening today for her to think deeply about it.

Instead, her palm was suddenly wrapped in a large hand. She looked down and saw Li Shengxiao had somehow quietly held her hand, his warm and dry palm inexplicably calming her.

"Yanyan, no matter what happens later, remember, I’m here."

"..."

His voice was like a softly played piano drifting into her ear.

What did he mean?

What might happen later?

Did he know something but hadn’t told her?

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Rong Yan found him lowering his eyes, meeting hers directly, their eyes locked—his gaze was deep and vast, seemingly containing the universe’s expanse, yet as if she was the only one in his vast universe, even if the sky fell, he would help her hold up a part of it!

Thump thump thump...

This feeling was so peculiar, Rong Yan’s heart raced wildly, as if it might leap from her chest. She was the first to avert her gaze, her brows gradually furrowing.

"A reason? There’s not much reason. Just felt Mr. Shen’s mouth was so foul, it made my fist itch to shut him up!"

Old Madame Shen and Mrs. Shen opened their mouths, looking at him in disbelief, almost simultaneously saying, "What kind of reason is that?"

Qin Jun’s slightly drooping phoenix eyes rose arrogantly, "I just asked Mr. Shen, and he himself said not answering equates to acquiescence. I asked if I could hit him, and he agreed before I took action."
