Chapter 62 It feels so good to have my husband protecting me.

Zhou Siyan was almost convinced that Qin Shuzhi didn't care about Shen Yichen at all, but Teacher Chen's words instantly overturned her thoughts.

And his mockery of Qin Shuzhi deepened even further.

Oh.

She said she had broken up with Yichen, but then she secretly wore a ring and announced her marriage at school.

Qin Shuzhi is truly shameless.

Zhou Siyan knew that if she hadn't returned to China, Shen Yichen planned to get their marriage certificate with Qin Shuzhi during the summer.

It was because of her interference that the two of them didn't get their marriage certificate, and they are currently in a cold war.

It must be because Qin Shuzhi boasted to her colleagues that she would marry a rich man during the summer vacation, but she failed to register her marriage with Yichen as scheduled. She was afraid of losing face in front of her colleagues, so she deliberately wore a wedding ring and pretended that she was married.

Thinking of this, a mocking and cold smile flashed in Zhou Siyan's eyes.

Qin Shuzhi, on the other side, had no idea about the bizarre and chaotic thoughts in Zhou Siyan's head.

Walking down an empty corridor, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from Shi Yuanxing.

Ask her how work was today and if anything interesting happened.

Qin Shuzhi was feeling annoyed, and when she saw him ask, she couldn't help but complain.

There was nothing interesting, but there was one unlucky thing.

She then posted three animated emojis in a row, each with the caption "Sun Wukong version: So annoying."

Shi's Group.

When Shi Yuanxing saw her message in the office, he frowned slightly. He was about to call her, but then remembered that she might not be able to answer, so he continued to ask on WeChat.

What happened?

Qin Shuzhi didn't want anyone to hear anything, so she didn't send a voice message. Instead, she typed out a string of text messages, explaining how Shen Yichen had gotten Zhou Siyan into the school and how they were now going to work in the same office.

The thought of sharing an office with her in the future makes me uneasy.

Finally, she also posted a meme of a kitten hanging itself: "Life is meaningless."

Shi Yuanxing narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning cold.

What exactly is wrong with Shen Yichen?

Is this intentionally meant to annoy or irritate someone?

Don't worry, leave it to me.

He then sent a [patting a kitten's head: comforting] emoji.

Upon seeing this message, Qin Shuzhi's furrowed brows relaxed.

She believed that Shi Yuanxing was capable of helping her solve her problems, but she didn't want him to actually do anything.

In fact, his unconditional support for her, along with his statement "Leave it to me," was enough to dispel Qin Shuzhi's bad mood.

No need, I just wanted to vent to you.

She continued, "Their business is none of our concern, right? From now on, I'll just treat her like she's invisible."

Shi Yuanxing, [Are you sure nothing needs to be done?]

Qin Shuzhi: [Seriously, I can't be bothered with these unimportant people anymore.]

Seeing her say that, Shi Yuanxing didn't forcefully interfere. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

But if they dare to bully you, you must tell me immediately.

Upon seeing this sentence, Qin Shuzhi felt a warmth in her heart.

She sent an "Mmm" emoji.

Then she couldn't help but sigh, "It feels so good to have my husband protecting me."

Before she could say anything more, she was patted on the shoulder.

"What are you doing? You're smiling so sweetly at your phone."

Turning her head to look at Lin Yuke, who had somehow walked up to her, Qin Shuzhi put away her phone. "I'm chatting with my husband."

The smile on her lips hadn't faded as she spoke.

"Oh dear, look at you."

Lin Yuke crossed her arms, took two steps back, carefully observed her expression, and made a judgment, "I guess your relationship with your husband is definitely better than your previous one."

Qin Shuzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked her with surprise and seriousness, "How did you figure that out?"

"Because you never used to openly and proactively mention the other person."

Lin Yuke joked, "But when you mentioned your husband just now, oh my~ you looked so happy, like a little wife, tsk tsk."

Qin Shuzhi felt a burning sensation in her ears and unconsciously touched her face.

Did she appear happy?

She wasn't looking in a mirror at the moment, so she really didn't know what expression she had.

But what Lin Yuke said earlier was true.

Because Shen Yichen didn't like her being a teacher, whenever she mentioned her work to him, he always seemed to look down on her.

Therefore, subconsciously, Qin Shuzhi would not mention him at work, because his status was there for all to see. If her colleagues knew that her boyfriend was the president of the Shen Group, it would definitely cause a lot of gossip, and she did not want to make Shen Yichen even more unhappy.

Furthermore, relationships are a private matter, and she didn't want to mention them at work.

But for some reason, when Shi Yuanxing was mentioned just now, she didn't feel any mental burden at all.

When others asked, she just answered naturally.

Of course, she wouldn't casually reveal Shi Yuanxing's family background, after all, she didn't want to become a topic of conversation at school for no reason.

Back in the office, Qin Shuzhi didn't see Zhou Siyan again. She heard that Zhou Siyan had a headache or something was wrong and had asked her boss for leave.

Lin Yuke leaned close to Qin Shuzhi and whispered teasingly, "Look at that, people with connections are different. They just showed up on their first day and then slipped away."

Qin Shuzhi just smiled and didn't want to pay attention to Zhou Siyan's matter.

It's better that she's not here.

Out of sight, out of mind.

the next day.

Zhou Siyan was much more well-behaved. She arrived on time in the morning and remained seated properly at her desk until Qin Shuzhi returned to the office after her first class in the afternoon.

Just as Qin Shuzhi sat down, Lin Yuke returned.

She sat down and turned to look at Qin Shuzhi, asking, "Teacher Qin, are you going to my class next period?"

Qin Shuzhi: "Yes."

"The boy in the second-to-last seat in the first row of my class, named Zhang Zihao, has a cold today. Could you keep an eye on him for me and let me know if anything seems wrong?"

Qin Shuzhi asked, "Why didn't you take him to the infirmary?"

"I sent him there. He just got back from his injection," Lin Yuke said. "I originally wanted him to go home, but his parents aren't home, and there would be no one to take care of him if he went back. It's better for him to stay at school. If anything happens, his classmates and teachers can look after him."

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit..."

"Yichen?"

Qin Shuzhi was talking to Lin Yuke when she suddenly heard such a sweet and delighted voice.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall man in a suit standing at the door.

It's Shen Yichen.

When Qin Shuzhi saw the person at the door clearly, her eyes showed a moment of surprise and confusion, but she quickly regained her composure.

When the man's seemingly casual gaze fell upon her, she coldly looked away.
