Chapter 188 You Dislike Me?

Even with his face like that, he still has the mind to joke around.

Qin Shuzhi stopped trying to banter with him.

"Actually, you don't need to go looking for him. He's practically invisible to me now. I can't even be bothered to look at him."

She touched Shi Yuanxing's bruised eye and then his swollen mouth, her eyes filled with heartache. "You fought with him, and look, you hurt yourself. It wasn't worth it."

In her heart, even if Shen Yichen was beaten until he vomited blood, it wouldn't be as bad as the injuries on Shi Yuanxing's face.

Shi Yuanxing held her hand in his palm and looked at her intently. "I already know about him asking Dad to make us divorce."

Qin Shuzhi's pupils trembled. "...Dad told you?"

"Um."

Shi Yuanxing's expression was cold and stern. "If Shen Yichen only hates me and wants to take revenge on me, I can accept any dirty tricks he uses, but I cannot tolerate him daring to set his sights on you."

This bastard even plotted to steal his wife, and went so far as to snatch her from his father in a fit of madness.

How could he allow a scoundrel to covet his treasure?

When Shi Yuanxing's gaze fell on Qin Shuzhi's face, his expression softened again. "Why didn't you tell me about Dad's private conversation with you?"

Qin Shuzhi's long eyelashes fluttered, and she said casually, "There's nothing to say. Dad just... told me about this and told me to be careful of Shen Yichen."

If her father could speak to her privately, how could he have just told her something as simple as this?

Knowing that she didn't want to make things difficult or worry him, Shi Yuanxing didn't ask any further questions. He simply held her gently in his arms and whispered, "I'm sorry you had to go through this."

Qin Shuzhi shook her head, wrapped her arms around his waist, and looked up at him, "Compared to the sacrifices you've made for me behind the scenes, what is this?"

She was referring to how he was forced to return to the Shi Group in order to get Shi Hongzhen to agree to their marriage.

Neither of them spoke again, yet they could feel each other's most sincere love in their silent gaze.

After a moment, Qin Shuzhi suddenly considered Shi Yuanxing's words: "If Shen Yichen only hates me and wants to take revenge on me, I can accept any dirty tricks."

"So, Shen Yichen... has he done anything else to retaliate against you?"

Shi Yuanxing paused, met her questioning eyes, remained silent for a moment, and finally confessed to her.

"This accident was caused by Shen Yichen."

"What?"

Qin Shuzhi was so shocked that she stood up abruptly, her eyes trembling as she looked at Shi Yuanxing in disbelief. "You mean... this accident wasn't an accident, but was deliberately caused by Shen Yichen?"

Shi Yuanxing nodded.

"That's a human life, how could he dare..."

Seeing her face turn deathly pale, her chest heaving, and her voice trembling so badly she could barely speak, Shi Yuanxing's heart tightened. He quickly pulled her back to sit beside him, then placed his hands on her shoulders, making her look at him.

“We are currently collecting evidence and believe that we will soon bring him to justice and give the victims justice.”

He gently stroked her cheek with one hand, "Don't overthink it."

“The one who has lost all conscience is Shen Yichen. No matter who he did this for or what his reasons were... the crime was his personal act and had nothing to do with others, so no one else can be blamed.”

Qin Shuzhi understood what he meant by saying this, and she nodded. "I know, I'm not overthinking, and I'm not foolish enough to take the blame on myself. I just... never expected him to do something so heinous."

"He can't escape; the law will punish him."

Qin Shuzhi: "Mm."

"Don't get upset or upset over this kind of person; it's not worth it."

Shi Yuanxing calmed Qin Shuzhi down before heading to the company.

At noon, Qin Shuzhi brought him lunch. When she passed a pharmacy, she stopped, went in and bought some ointment for bruises. After leaving the pharmacy, she thought for a moment and went back to buy one more thing.

The office prepared for Shi Yuanxing has been set up and is located next to the president's office.

Qin Shuzhi doesn't need to go to the conference room this time.

"This office is not bad."

After she came in and put down the food box, she looked around Shi Yuanxing's new office. Everything here was on par with Jing Muchi's office next door.

According to Shi Yuanxing, there was no need to prepare this office specially, but Jing Muchi refused, fearing that if the preparation was delayed, he would run back to the Shi Group.

Get the office set up as quickly as possible.

"If you like this place, come here more often in the future."

Shi Yuanxing walked around the desk, pulled her hand, and sat her down on the sofa.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but ask, "You'll be working here at Shengrui from now on, instead of going back to the Shi Group?"

Shi Yuanxing smiled helplessly, "Jing Muchi said that once this matter is resolved, he will take Teacher Sang on a trip during the summer vacation, and then I will be in charge of the company."

Qin Shuzhi, "Back then, on the other side of the clan..."

“I’ve discussed it with my sister, and she said that now that my identity is public, I can do whatever I want, it’s up to me.”

Shi Qingman’s original words were, “If you want to take over the Shi Group in full, I can leave the company. If you want to do your own business outside first, I will stay and manage the group wholeheartedly.”

Her unspoken message was: I will fully support whatever you want to do.

Qin Shuzhi looked at Shi Yuanxing and felt a little touched.

Her Mr. Shi is now someone who has his sister protecting him.

"Huh? What's this?"

Shi Yuanxing noticed the pharmacy bag next to the food box.

Qin Shuzhi snapped out of her daze and quickly reached out to take it. "This is the bruise cream I bought for you, and this is for the wound around your eye."

Watching her take the things out of the bag with such seriousness, Shi Yuanxing found it a bit amusing. "I only have this little injury, why would I need to treat it specially?"

"Of course I want it. Wouldn't it be unsightly if my face was injured?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a sad expression, "You're disgusted with me?"

Qin Shuzhi looked at his handsome face, with its prominent features, a few bruises on his lips, and some cuts around his eyes...

But these three losses did not diminish his stunning good looks; instead, they added a touch of fragile beauty to his appearance.

Coupled with his pitiful look at that moment, it was hard not to feel sorry for him.

"How could that be?" Qin Shuzhi's voice unconsciously softened with a coaxing tone.

"What I mean is, doing this will damage your positive image in the eyes of your employees."

“I don’t care about others,” Shi Yuanxing said. “I only care about what you think of me.”

Qin Shuzhi held out a cotton swab soaked in iodine to him, "Me? I just want your injury to heal faster."

Shi Yuanxing tilted his head back, unwilling to cooperate, "You still say you don't dislike me?"

Qin Shuzhi was both amused and exasperated. She pulled him over and, while disinfecting his wound, said, "I'm just worried about you."

With just one sentence, she made the man obediently submit.

After treating the wound near Qin Shuzhi's eye, she put the things away. "I'll apply the medicine to the wound on the corner of my mouth after we finish eating."
