Shen Tinghe's dark pupils were filled with extreme coldness as he stared intently in my direction, his thin lips slowly uttering a sentence.

"Move out of the Jiang family's house."

Upon hearing Shen Tinghe's words, Lin Qingtong couldn't help but chuckle, gently lifting his tie with her fingers, a smile playing on her lips.

"Where will you live if you move out?"

Lin Qingtong originally just wanted to tease Shen Tinghe, but she didn't expect him to answer so seriously.

"My home."

For some reason, Lin Qingtong felt that Shen Tinghe's eyes shone brightly when he said those words.

Lin Qingtong panicked for no reason, threw off Shen Tinghe's tie, took a few steps back, and spoke in a cold and distant tone.

"Mr. Shen, please don't joke like that. Even if I successfully get a divorce, I won't be with you."

Her gaze lingered on Shen Tinghe's noble and profound face, a cold smile spreading across her lips.

"We had already drawn a line in our relationship long ago."

Shen Tinghe's eyes darkened, and he grabbed Lin Qingtong's wrist, his voice icy cold.

"You offered yourself up willingly."

Lin Qingtong let Shen Tinghe hold her wrist, and suddenly smiled charmingly.

"So what does this prove? We're all adults, it was consensual, why make a fuss?"

She deliberately emphasized the word 'entanglement', and looked at Shen Tinghe as if he were trash.

Shen Tinghe gritted his teeth and forced a cold laugh, "You're the adult you're talking about."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong felt a sense of oppression, followed by a dizzying sensation.

Shen Tinghe picked Lin Qingtong up in his arms and strode towards the room.

The crystal chandelier in the living room was so bright and dazzling that it made Lin Qingtong's eyes dazzle.

She finally realized what was happening, and her heart skipped a beat, as if all the darkness had been exposed to the sunlight.

Lin Qingtong stared intently at Shen Tinghe, lowering her voice to scold, "Shen Tinghe, are you crazy!"

Shen Tinghe, dressed in a black suit, exuded extreme coldness, and just one glance was enough to make people tremble with fear.

"You're the one who provoked this."

He pushed open the door, put Lin Qingtong down, and started to approach her while tugging at her tie.

Suddenly, a questioning voice came from the doorway.

"Tongtong, Mr. Shen, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong and Shen Tinghe turned around at the same time, only to see the Jiang family patriarch standing at the door of the room.

He was holding some watering tools in his hand, and his sleeves were rolled up, so he must have just come from the rooftop greenhouse.

At this moment, he was scrutinizing Shen Tinghe and Lin Qingtong with a wary and sharp gaze, as if trying to see through everything.

Seeing this, Lin Qingtong felt a sudden panic. She was about to explain something, but it seemed that no matter how she explained, it would be futile.

Lin Qingtong felt a sense of relief. Perhaps if her grandfather knew, she wouldn't have to feel so burdened. It just might hurt her grandfather's sincere heart.

At this moment, Shen Tinghe uttered a sentence with a calm expression.

"Lin Qingtong sprained her ankle, so I carried her in, Grandpa Jiang."

When the old master of the Jiang family heard that Lin Qingtong had sprained her ankle, he was immediately shocked and asked her with concern.

"How did you sprain your ankle? Sit down quickly, I'll call the family doctor right away."

"It's my fault too. I lost track of time while I was in the rooftop greenhouse. I must have tripped and fallen at the door."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong glanced at Shen Tinghe, then gently comforted the old man of the Jiang family.

"Grandpa, I fell at the company, not at home."

But the old man of the Jiang family still felt guilty. In the end, he called the family doctor for a check-up. The doctor looked at Lin Qingtong and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Young Madam, what symptoms do you think it might be?"

He could only watch helplessly as Lin Qingtong sought help, while Shen Tinghe exuded an oppressive aura from the side.

"It's probably a sprained ankle. A couple of days of rest should be enough."

The doctor naturally recognized Master Shen, swallowed hard, and repeated the question.

The old master of the Jiang family was completely focused on Lin Qingtong and did not notice this scene at all. He simply gave orders in a cold voice.

"Alright, give Tongtong the best medicine, understand?"

In the end, Lin Qingtong could only be blamed for spraining her ankle, and the Jiang family patriarch even thanked Shen Tinghe with a smile.

"Mr. Shen, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my Tongtong would be in such a pitiful state."

Lin Qingtong sat quietly on the bed, a pang of heartache and guilt rising in her heart.

I can deceive everyone in the world, but I deserve to die for deceiving my grandfather.

She clutched the blanket tightly, a lump forming in her throat. Once everything was over, she would do everything in her power to repay her grandfather.

But Grandpa cannot be a reason for Lin Qingtong to end all of this.

The next day, Lin Qingtong went to work early in the morning. When she arrived at the company, Luo Susu and the others were squatting there with their backs to the door, talking incoherently.

Lin Qingtong stepped forward with her hands behind her back, a smile playing on her lips as she asked.

What are you doing here?

As soon as the words were spoken, Luo Susu and the others were so frightened that they stood up abruptly, each with bruises and swelling on their faces, looking more and more seriously injured than the last.

Lin Qingtong paused for a moment, then looked at Luo Susu, the only one whose condition wasn't too serious.

What's wrong with you all?

Luo Susu smiled and waved her hand, explaining, "Sister Qingtong, it's okay, don't worry about it, we were just joking around."

A chubby, round-faced boy next to them said, "No, we were beaten by our families."

Upon hearing this, Luo Susu was so angry that she raised her fist and landed it on the chubby boy, and the others followed suit.
