Chapter 60:1 Will Fight For You For What You Want
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A person might change over time, but some things would remain inherent and unchangeable, such as temperament and disposition.
In his previous life, Shen Qian had been cold and unyielding, his true emotions hidden behind a composed facade. He possessed a natural inclination for authority, disliking disobedience, detesting disagreements, and always seeking control. He had never submitted to anyone.
Now, merely four years earlier, he had learned to yield?
Shen Wan didn’t believe it.
“Get up and take the medicine first.” The man held a capsule in one hand and a glass of water in the other.
“You… won’t poison me, will you?”
Shen Qian chuckled at her remark, his eyes crinkling at the corners, devoid of anger. He appeared gentle. “So, in your eyes, I’ve become wicked enough to poison you at any moment?”
He was half-joking and half-serious.
In the end, Shen Wan didn’t take the medicine he had prepared, because the doctor arrived.
However, Shen Qian showed no intention of leaving. He stayed by her side until the nurse finished administering the IV drip, then followed the doctor out of the room. He returned to her bedside only after a while, silently gazing at Shen Wan, who had fallen asleep.
After some time, the IV bag was empty. Shen Qian personally removed the needle. Shen Wan’s brows furrowed as she woke up.
“Why are you still here?” Her voice was hoarse, like rough gravel.
She did not attempt to hide her disdain.
Shen Qian, undeterred, picked up an ear thermometer from the side. “Don’t move, let me check your temperature.”
“No need.”
“Wan Wan, I’ve already apologized.”
“But 1 haven’t accepted…”
“What you want, I will fight for you. But the condition is that you must obey, and don’t provoke my anger again, understood?”
Shen Wan’s gaze flickered. ๐.๐โด๐
Shen Qian chuckled softly. “You’re clever, I’m sure you understand what I’m saying.”
She no longer resisted, her obedient demeanor satisfying the man greatly.
“The temperature is normal, no fever. Come, take the medicine…” His warm palm rested on the slender back of the young girl. With a gentle push, he lifted Shen Wan slightly, while the other hand held a glass of water, coaxing her to drink it.
Finally, after tucking her in and seeing her fall asleep again, Shen Qian closed the door and left.
Downstairs, Shen Chunjiang and Yang Lan entered together, changed into slippers, and headed to the living room. They saw Shen Qian, dressed in home attire, coming down from upstairs.
“Dad, Mom.”
Yang Lan, with the assistance of a servant, took off her coat. “I heard from Steward Zhou just now that the doctor came?”
“Yes.”
Yang Lan had grown used to her son’s indifference and didn’t think much of it. She inquired further, “Who is sick?”
“Shen Wan.”
Upon hearing that name, Yang Lan’s smile visibly faded. She made a faint sound of acknowledgment and didn’t ask any more questions.
Shen Chunjiang, on the other hand, showed concern. “What’s wrong with Wan Wan?”
“She has a cold and a fever.”
“What did the doctor say? Is it serious?”
“She’s fine now.”
“That’s good…” Shen Chunjiang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go upstairs to check on his daughter.
“Dad,” Shen Qian suddenly spoke, “Has the exact date for the company’s anniversary celebration been finalized?”
“It’s set, on the 27th of this month.”
“What about the guest list?”
“The PR department is still working on it.”
Shen Qian gave a faint acknowledgment, indicating he knew.
Suddenly, Shen Chunjiang remembered something and turned back. The father and son duo went into the study, whispering to each other as they walked. S Seeing this, Yang Lan called Shen Ru on her phone.
“Dear Ru, I just heard your dad and your brother talking about the anniversary celebration. Do you know anything about it?” ๐๐ณ.๐ธโด๐
“Yeah, Iโm in charge of the on-site arrangements. Why do you ask?”
Yang Lan couldn’t quite put her feelings into words but felt uneasy. “What if your dad agrees to let Shen Wan attend…”
“Mom! You’re overthinking it! In such a formal setting, what qualifications does she, an illegitimate daughter, have to attend? Moreover, Grandpa values reputation and would never allow her to come and embarrass us. 1 have a lot of things on my plate right now, so I’ll hang up.”
Yang Lan wanted to say that if the old master really cared about reputation, he wouldn’t have let Shen Wan enter the Shen family with the label of “illegitimate child” in the first place.
But Shen Ru hung up too quickly, and she had to swallow her words.
Worries abound…
At the same time, in the study.
“How is Huiteng responding?”
Shen Chunjiang sighed. “In past years, the Sixth Lord has never made an appearance, and I believe this time won’t be an exception. But regardless, the invitation should still be sent, and we must be thorough in observing proper etiquette.”
Huiteng Shipping was the main contractor for Mingda Group’s product transportation. They had cooperated smoothly for so many years without any hitches.
From a logical standpoint, Mingda and Huiteng maintained a client-supplier relationship, which meant there was no necessity for such excessive politeness or close scrutiny of each other’s feelings.
However, the problem was that Huiteng not only monopolized water transportation but also controlled the two major areas of road transportation and aviation transportation in Ning City. It could be said that they were the “local emperors” of Ning City.
As for Quan Hanting, he was a mysterious figure who seldom appeared but was known by his nickname the “Sixth Lord.”
Apart from his own considerable strength, his close relationship with the other four lords, including the well-known Fourth Lord He Hongye, who was a significant figure in Ning City, couldn’t be ignored.
Shen Qian nodded slightly. “I’ll personally visit Huiteng.”
“Yes, I trust you to handle it well. Also,” Shen Chunjiang paused for a moment before continuing, “on the day of the banquet, I’d like Shen Wan to attend as well and introduce her to everyone. What do you think?”
Shen Qian remained silent.
“I know this decision might put you in a difficult position, but she’s a well-behaved and obedient girl. You donโt need to worry about any future conflicts.”
Well-behaved and obedient?
Shen Qian raised an internal question mark. At least from his perspective, this little white rabbit had quite the temper.
As for whether there would be conflicts or not, making a judgment now seemed premature to him.
He was also curious about what she really wanted…
“Dad’s decision is final, and 1 have no objections.”
“But your mom and the old master…” Shen Chunjiang hesitated.
Shen Qian’s tone was so neutral that no emotion could be detected. “I’ll try to mediate.”
Shen Wan had slept soundly through the night, skipping dinner. She woke up the next morning feeling hungry.
She touched her forehead and found that her fever had subsided.
Her throat wasn’t as dry and scratchy as yesterday, but her voice still had a husky quality.
She went downstairs to find food. Since it was past breakfast time, the servants had to prepare a new meal for her. “Third Lady, what would you like to eat?”
After a mild illness, she wanted something with flavor. “Sesame sauce noodles, and make it spicy.”
“No need. Make her a bowl of vegetable porridge. Keep the portion small.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The servant left, leaving only Shen Qian and Shen Wan in the dining room.
“I don’t want porridge,” she calmly stated her preference, devoid of any hint of irritation, just a simple statement of fact.
“Is your cold better?” He reached out to feel her forehead.
Shen Wan wanted to evade his touch but was caught by his warning gaze. She hesitated for a moment and then allowed him to touch her forehead. His fingers, with distinct knuckles, pressed on her forehead and slid down to her cheek, causing a slight tingling sensation.
Clang!
A sound of something heavy failing to the ground came from the entrance of the dining room, and a maid widened her eyes in alarm as she watched the scene unfold before her..
