Villa garage.
Due to the rain, they drove directly into the garage before entering the house.
The driver carried Shen Yan’s luggage.
Shen Yan and Qi Si walked into the cold villa one after the other.
Qi Si, a step behind her, spoke indifferently, “There’s no need to force yourself.”
Ever since he said those words, Shen Yan had seemed off.
Regardless of whether Shen Yan was afraid of Song Jinwei or disliked her, her reaction indicated that she didn’t want to meet Song Jinwei.
Qi Si was merely conveying this sentiment and didn’t insist on Shen Yan meeting anyone.
Shen Yan paused as she started to walk upstairs, “Hmm?”
Qi Si looked at her, “Just a mention, no need to feel troubled.”
“Oh,” Shen Yan responded, “Mr. Qi is talking about meeting your mother. Since the elder has requested to meet me, let’s arrange it.”
Qi Si stared at her.
His dark eyes were scrutinizing.
Once assured she wasn’t troubled, he nodded.
“Arrange a time for dinner with Miss Song,” she was returning to school tomorrow.
Qi Si took out his phone and messaged Song Jinwei.
*
Song Jinwei mentioned to Qi Si that day about wanting to see Shen Yan once more before returning to Beijing, but Qi Si didn’t respond.
The last time he saw Shen Yan was two years ago.
Every time they met, Shen Yan seemed quite frightened of him, and their conversation had never exceeded ten sentences despite being nearly in-laws.
The suggestion for a meeting was spontaneous.
Song Jinwei knew Shen Yan was afraid of her and definitely didn’t want to meet her.
She hadn’t expected to suddenly receive a message from Qi Si about having dinner together.
Song Jinwei glanced at her simply packed luggage but still had someone change her flight for tomorrow.
*
At 7 PM.
Shen Yan went alone to the arranged restaurant, where she met her future mother-in-law, Song Jinwei.
Song Jinwei was dressed simply and elegantly, yet there was a sharpness about her that exuded an intimidating aura of nobility.
Her eyes were deep, and the coldness in her gaze was off-putting.
Qi Si’s eyes, very much like hers.
Song Jinwei wanted to meet her alone, and Shen Yan declined Qi Si’s company.
As Shen Yan observed Song Jinwei, Song Jinwei was also examining Shen Yan.
At first glance, Song Jinwei felt that Shen Yan had become very unfamiliar.
Not the person she remembered.
Even her appearance had grown increasingly unique and stunning.
If two years ago one could still see resemblances to Shen Zuo and his wife, now there were hardly any traces.
Shen Yan sat across from Song Jinwei, “Aunt Song.”
Song Jinwei raised her hand, signaling the waiter to serve the food.
In the quiet setting, soft music floated through the air.
Song Jinwei was still very considerate of her celebrity status, choosing this upscale, highly private restaurant with a secluded location.
“I came to Shen City for the marriage arrangements of you two young ones,” Song Jinwei opened with an explanation for her visit.
It wasn’t that she wanted to hear Shen Yan’s opinion.
In Song Jinwei’s view, Shen Yan did not have the right to voice opinions.
Family elders had decided on the marriage, and as the Shen Family’s precious daughter, she was to comply with the arrangement.
“Thank you, Aunt Song, for your concern.”
Shen Yan stayed mostly unflappable.
Song Jinwei’s gaze upon Shen Yan grew sharper, “But now Qi Si’s intention is not to hold a wedding but just to register the marriage with you. Are you aware of this?”
Shen Yan nodded, “Yes.”
It was her suggestion.
“Both families are prominent households in Beijing. For him to do this would be humiliating for both families. From the Shen side, I hope you can persuade them.”
“Persuade?” Shen Yan seemed puzzled.
“A daughter of the Shen family shouldn’t have such a modest wedding. Our Qi family wouldn’t treat a daughter-in-law this way.”
Song Jinwei was just coldly stating her thoughts.
No, rather her decision.
Leaving no room for them to refuse.
“I support Qi Si’s decision.”
Shen Yan threw out her response.
Song Jinwei’s sharp gaze instantly shifted toward Shen Yan. Had it been the original owner of the body, perhaps she would have feared Song Jinwei, but the current Shen Yan did not.
The Shen Yan before her was too composed.
Shen Yan had changed too much.
Even Song Jinwei was a bit surprised.
“You support his idea too? Shen Yan, you’re degrading yourself.”
Now it was better.
It seemed like she was the one getting married.
Did they think she wanted to handle all this?
Apart from the identity of Shen Family’s daughter, Shen Yan fit nowhere in her ideal vision for a daughter-in-law.
“This is our own matter, I hope Aunt Song can support our choice,” Shen Yan remained very calm.
Song Jinwei was already somewhat annoyed.
But she didn’t show it.
She just stared coldly at Shen Yan.
The atmosphere between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned frosty.
Song Jinwei felt that Shen Yan was challenging her authority as a mother-in-law.
The meal was very tense.
Shen Yan ate quickly, causing Song Jinwei to frown several times.
After mingling in the entertainment industry for a year or two, she almost lost her dining etiquette.
Equally indifferent, Shen Yan disliked dining with Song Jinwei.
Although Qi Si was cold, dining with him, she didn’t feel the urge to leave right after finishing, instead, it felt… very serene!
Right…
It should be serene.
Shen Yan ate until she was about three-quarters full, put down her chopsticks, said a few words to Song Jinwei, and then got up to leave.
The meal ended on an unhappy note.
Watching Shen Yan’s departing figure, Song Jinwei’s expression visibly darkened.
“Snap.”
The chopsticks in her hand fell with some weight.
Her dissatisfaction with Shen Yan grew.
Really, aside from that identity, she disliked everything else.
*
Qi Si waited in the car, dealing with work affairs.
Shen Yan came out quickly.
The car window rolled down.
Through the rainy night, Shen Yan’s figure was somewhat blurred.
Her 1.7-meter shadow, cast by the backlight, appeared even more slender!
Shen Yan’s attire was very casual and conservative, her slightly fluffy long hair swaying gently as she moved, forming beautiful curves in Qi Si’s view!
Perhaps because of the murky night, at that moment, Shen Yan in Qi Si’s eyes seemed ethereally beautiful, like a fairy half-hidden in the mist!
Qi Si’s hand clutching the tablet loosened slightly, and the next second, he grabbed the long umbrella beside the seat, pushed open the door, and held the umbrella over his head.
Shen Yan was just about to place her hand atop her head, planning to sprint towards the car.
But in the rainy night, a sharp, commanding figure emerged from the car door, his thick, well-defined hand holding the umbrella handle, his force palpable even through the rain curtain!
The rain hitting the umbrella made a pitter-patter sound.
Shen Yan’s gaze moved downward.
It was Qi Si’s long, powerful legs… outlined even more fluidly by the suit pants!
Stepping in puddles, the splashing water droplets somewhat clung to his suit pants, as if yearning for his long legs.
The hem of his suit jacket moved with his steps, exuding a very powerful aura…
Long legs, steady strides, thick fingers, bursting with strength…
Even from such an angle, one could surmise that this man was also very…
Shen Yanqing’s cool face felt a bit heated!
The man holding the umbrella approached her with the harsh night wind, and the cold air couldn’t dispel the heat on her face. Instead, the chilly aura from his body made her ears feel a bit warm.
Shen Yan slightly lowered her eyelashes.
The chilly aura came closer, his low magnetic voice reaching Shen Yan’s ears, and for a moment, it felt incredibly enticing.
“Let’s go.”
He uttered just one word.
Yet it inexplicably made Shen Yan’s heart tremble.
She furrowed her brows, suppressing the strange restlessness inside, moved closer to Qi Si, and walked with him under the same umbrella into the rainy night…
