"Nian Nian..."

"Smack!"

When Ye Chen spoke again, Shi Nian slapped him across the face without saying a word.

He was also interrupted.

Shi Nian slapped her hard.

A clear handprint appeared on Ye Chen's face.

He was stunned.

His deep eyes looked at her with a wounded expression.

However, her eyes still held only indifference and hatred, along with an unquenchable rage.

His heart felt as if it had been stabbed, a dull ache shooting through it, and his eyes grew even dimmer.

He tried so hard, why doesn't she love him at all?

Looking into her eyes, he felt as if he were being slowly tortured to death.

How can I get her to open up to me?

Shi Nian lowered her eyes and composed herself.

Then, she reached out and grabbed his arm, trying to push him away.

But his body stood before her like a mountain, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't push him away.

Shi Nian's anger grew stronger and stronger. "Get out of my way! Stop pushing me!"

"I'm not trying to force you, I'm just worried about you..." Ye Chen said in a low voice, his magnetic voice slightly hoarse.

"I don't need your concern, your concern makes me feel disgusted!" Shi Nian was completely unmoved.

Ye Chen's heart sank.

Every word she spoke was like a sharp sword piercing his body, causing him unbearable pain.

"Nian Nian..."

Shi Nian, impatient, pushed him again.

Perhaps because he had suffered such a great blow, his body relaxed, and he was easily pushed away by Shi Nian.

Without even looking back, Shi left the room.

However, she did not leave the Bo family home. Instead, she went to the backyard of the villa and found a secluded spot to stay by herself.

Ye Chen was worried about Shi Nian and secretly followed behind her.

Despite the hurtful things she said to him, he still felt sorry for her when he saw her looking so forlorn.

Shi Nian had been sitting there in a daze since morning until evening.

During this time, servants brought her food, but she had no appetite and didn't eat anything.

Ye Chen had other matters to attend to, so after a few hours, he asked a servant to watch over him while he went to deal with family and company matters.

Although he had already asked Qin Shuze to announce the old man's will on the day he passed away.

Those who were present that day have already spread the news of the will to other members of the family.

But some people were still not satisfied and started causing trouble even before the old man's funeral was over.

On the very day of the funeral, some people blocked the funeral procession and demanded that he redistribute the old man's estate.

He later had the man crippled and taken away, which finally calmed things down.

Although no one openly caused trouble afterward, they remained restless in private.

He needs to sort things out as soon as possible.

Otherwise, what if those people were to target Shi Nian someday...

He was busy until midnight before he came back from outside.

The maid has already informed him via mobile phone.

By 10 p.m., Shi Nian had already gone back to her room to rest.

I haven't eaten anything all day.

After washing up in his room, Ye Chen quietly went to Shi Nian's room.

But he found that the door was locked from the inside and he couldn't open it.

From inside the room came Zhang Ma's voice: "Is that Fifth Master? Miss Shi said that you should not come to disturb her. She doesn't want to see you these days."

Ye Chen: "..."

Although he was very unwilling, he could only go back to his room.

He was thinking about Shi Nian and couldn't sleep at all.

But once he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep very quickly.

And what's more, he's started having that strange dream again!

Let's continue from yesterday's content!
