Shen Qingyue was unaware of Qin Zhen's inner turmoil, and even if she knew, she did not care. After all, she had completely forgotten about Qin Zhen's existence. She stared at the people approaching her, her face cold, ready to fight at any moment. But before those people could reach her, Zhang Jianci
unexpectedly stormed in with a dozen bodyguards, standing in front of her.
At the same time, she felt the scorching chest of the person pressed against her back—a familiar sensation.
In an instant, Shen Qingyue's heart settled. Although she wasn't afraid of these people, the feeling of security he brought was unmatched. She knew that as long as he was there, she had nothing to fear; he would shield her from any storm.
Zhang Jianci had already engaged in a fight with the opposing party, throwing the succession ceremony into complete chaos.
Leaning against Chi Ming, Shen Qingyue twisted in his arms, wanting to turn and look at him.
But he suddenly held her hand, pulling her outside. His movements were forceful, not allowing any refusal, yet carried a hint of gentleness.
Shen Qingyue did not resist, letting him lead her away. Her gaze remained fixed on his tall figure, a mix of trust, reassurance, and secret joy filling her, emotions she couldn't describe. He was fine; he had come back.
Qin Zhen had been keeping an eye on Shen Qingyue. Seeing Chi Ming taking her away and noticing Shen Qingyue's lack of resistance, her expression held more trust and excitement than when she looked at him before. He couldn't help but wish he could rush up and separate the two.
Chi Ming, how dare he touch Shen Qingyue!
Wei Jiu'er gritted her teeth and suddenly grabbed Qin Zhen. “Zhen, it's too chaotic here. I'm scared. Let's go back…” She reached out to hold Qin Zhen, but he pushed her away.
“You go back first, I still have something to do,” he said.
Wei Jiu'er was on the verge of spitting blood. She had cleared his schedule to attend this so-called inauguration ceremony. What else could there be? She did not need to think, she knew it was related to Shen Qingyue! Why had it come to this? The previous Qin Zhen did not even spare a glance for Shen Qingyue; his heart and eyes were full of her, Jiu'er!
Wei Jiu'er suppressed the jealousy in her heart and asked plaintively, “Are you asking me to go back by myself because you want to find Shen Qingyue?”
Hearing her question, Qin Zhen hesitated. He knew Jiu'er wasn't a fool; she had observed his every move during this period. After all, she loved him so much, so naturally, she paid close attention to his thoughts. He had promised, resolved to forget Shen Qingyue completely, and treat Wei Jiu'er well.
But it seemed he was backsliding again. He was with Wei Jiu'er physically, but his heart was with Shen Qingyue. Just like before when he was with Shen Qingyue but thinking about Wei Jiu'er. He knew that pursuing Shen Qingyue would hurt Jiu'er.
Yet he couldn't let go of his feelings for Shen Qingyue. If he didn't go after her and see her once, he wouldn't feel at ease.
“Jiu'er, Shen Qingyue has just experienced such a big change. I'm afraid she might not take it well. I've known her for so many years and we have a history. You go back first…” Qin Zhen said, unable to meet Jiu'er's eyes, and turned away, walking off.
Wei Jiu'er stood still, not saying a word, but the taste of blood was already in her mouth. She understood Qin Zhen too well. Worried that Shen Qingyue might not take it well? Nonsense! If he really cared, he would have acted long ago, not waited for Chi Ming to appear! He just couldn't stand his ex-wife getting close to another man! This man, he wanted everything and expected everyone to revolve around him.
If this continued, Qin Zhen would eventually abandon her. Because he had this idea, sooner or later, he would turn around and pursue Shen Qingyue. She had waited for so many years, planned for so many years, invested all her energy in capturing Qin Zhen, and finally, she had come this far. She absolutely could not give up! So she had to sever all ties between her and Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue was being led out of the hotel by Chi Ming. They walked all the way outside before Chi Ming was about to let go. But Shen Qingyue grabbed Chi Ming's hand.
This startled Chi Ming. He looked down at her, a bit disbelieving of her intentions. The surprise came too suddenly; she had never taken the initiative to hold his hand before.
Shen Qingyue tilted her head slightly. “Do you know how many calls I made to you? Why didn't you answer a single one?”
Despite her confident and elegant appearance, her words carried a hint of reproach and accusation, even unintentionally sounding a little pouty, like she wanted to be spoiled by him.
Listening to her, Chi Ming's calm and steady eyes gained a touch of amusement. He explained, “Work requirements. I can't be in contact with the outside world. My phone was off..”
