“What are you thinking?!”

“Someone.”

“Who?”

Shen Wan chuckled, her eyes scrutinizing him with a teasing and slightly disdainful glint. “You wouldn’t want to know the answer.”

That incident, the person who had sex with her at that time, whether on purpose or by accident, both of them had silently agreed to let it fade into oblivion, never bringing it up again.

But not mentioning it didn’t mean it didn’t happen. It was like a chasm between them that seemed close when left unexamined; it was like a thorn embedded in the flesh that didn’t hurt until prodded. But once observed or disturbed, it resulted in a reaction magnified a hundred or a thousand times. “Why did you look for me?” Shen Wan’s brows furrowed with a cold demeanor.

Since returning from the hot spring resort, she had seldom hidden her bad attitude and indifference toward Shen Qian, clearly displaying her frustration. However, strangely, he had never lost his temper or shown displeasure. Instead, his tolerance for her seemed to have reached a new height.

Guilt? Compensation? Appeasement?

Shen Wan didn’t want to delve into it, nor did she have the time to do so. She had even given up her initial plan to win over Shen Qian, and her attitude had naturally become perfunctory.

Shen Qian had observed these changes, but he kept his silence. He remained as enigmatic as an empty well, leaving everyone puzzled about his inner thoughts.

Crafty old fox!

“Aren’t you supposed to thank me?” He chuckled lightly.

Shen Wan’s eyelids twitched.

He lowered his head, and they drew closer, their breaths entwining. “I’ve said it before, 1’11 fight for everything you want.”

“It was you who arranged everything with Old Master Shen, wasn’t it?”

“Are you delighted?”

Gritting her teeth, Shen Wan pushed him away and looked at him with caution. “What do you want?”

Shen Qian steadied himself, not angry or annoyed, and even revealed a faint smile. “1 want you to treat me as you did before.”

Madman!

“Wan Wan.” He approached her, holding her slender shoulders, enunciating each word. “Forget about that accident as if nothing ever happened.”

“Is this the ‘compensation’ that you’ve mentioned earlier?”

Shen Qian silently looked at her.

“If 1 told you 1 want Song Lin to pay a price, would you help me?”

“Wan Wan…” The man furrowed his brows.

The Shen and Song families had occasional cooperation, and their relationship was only considered average. However, Shen Qian and Song Lin had many joint investment projects, involving billions of dollars in funds. Their solid partnership had become the foundation for the growth and expansion of Tian Shui Real Estate. If they were to fall out, the resulting losses would be immeasurable.

“It’s very late, please leave,” Shen Wan said as she walked to the door. She had never held much hope for Shen Qian, and now, she didn’t feel disappointed. If she were him, she would also choose to stand firmly on Song Lin’s side.

The delicate bond between siblings and the tangible financial interests – which held more significance? There was no room for doubt.

Dealing with Song Lin was her goal, no doubt, but she had never considered using Shen Qian’s help. In the end, she had never trusted this so-called “brother”, nor did she harbor any expectations for him. So, naturally, she didn’t have an ounce of kindness toward him.

In their past life, they were enemies, and this life wouldn’t change that!

Before leaving, the man gave her a deep look. “Wan Wan, don’t act tough. Without me, your life wouldn’t be any better than it is now.”

She wanted to ask, “Who do you think you are?”

But in the end, she couldn’t help herself.

Some words didn’t need to be spoken; they needed to be demonstrated. When the facts were laid out before him, the pain on his face would be evident.

“Rest early. Goodnight.”

Just get lost!

On the day of the anniversary gala, in front of the Hilton Hotel in Ning City, a red carpet was laid out, and flowers lined the path.

Luxury cars were parked in rows, quickly filling up the entire parking area. Men in suits and women in elegant dresses arrived in pairs, hand in hand. Shen Chunjiang and Yang Lan stood at the entrance, welcoming guests with smiles.

“Mr. Song, Mrs. Song, thank you for gracing us with your presence. Please

come inside….”
