Chapter 90

[Yingning and Brother He...]

How did you end up here?

Shen Yan stared at the two people opposite him in disbelief. Doubt, like vines, trapped his breath, leaving him rooted to the spot.

*

"Master, Shen Yan is also nearby." 0067 sensed Shen Yan's location.

At this moment, He Zhiqian also felt a probing, intense gaze and noticed Shen Yan standing motionless in the distance, staring intently at the two of them.

Just then, a little child suddenly came running up, stumbling and falling.

"Mommy, sob sob..."

"Waaaaah..."

It seemed to be a lost child, who was running towards the escalator going up.

The coffee shop is located not far from the escalator entrance.

Yingning crouched down to stop them, and only after picking up the child and moving him to the side did she see someone who looked like the child's mother running over.

"Baby, how did you get here?"

While his mother was shopping, the child saw the balloons in the hands of other children and followed them for a while.

Who knew that when the child came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

She immediately started crying and calling for her mother, and almost walked onto the escalator in the opposite direction.

"Mommy, waaaaah, I couldn't find you just now."

Yingning was relieved to see the child being affectionate towards the woman.

"Thank you, Miss." The child's mother immediately thanked Yingning.

As Yingning stood up, a pedestrian on the escalator bumped into her because he hadn't seen her nearby.

"sorry."

"I'm sorry..." the person said apologetically.

He Zhiqian had been watching the pedestrians on the elevator, and upon seeing this, he immediately helped her up.

His hand rested on Ying Ning's arm, his back to Shen Yan, and the two appeared exceptionally intimate.

He Zhiqian suddenly raised his hand to tidy up the stray hairs by Ying Ning's ear, leaned close to her, and said with a slight movement of his thin lips, "Your hair is a little messy."

From a distance, it was almost touching her cheek, like a lover.

After completing these actions, He Zhiqian turned around again, his gaze inadvertently falling on Shen Yan, who was standing there stunned.

The anger in Shen Yan's eyes was almost constantly churning.

From Shen Yan's perspective, he only saw He Zhiqian helping Ying Ning get up.

And then he helped Yingning tidy up her stray hairs...

He Zhiqian noticed that Shen Yan was in a bad mood, and then, seeing Ying Ning's somewhat surprised face, he suddenly asked, "Don't you have an appointment this afternoon? Do you want me to take you?"

He then raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek.

He looked as if he were demonstrating against someone.

Yingning naturally knew what He Zhiqian was trying to do just now.

[Last time, I was just playing him for a fool.]

He Zhiqian, true to form, retaliated immediately.

His actions just now were simply intended to make Shen Yan see their intimate behavior, arouse Shen Yan's suspicion, and perhaps even make him think of his werewolf identity.

Shen Yan's resentment towards him would make him walk to Shen Yan's side sooner.

【but...】

What a pity.

He Zhiqian's actions actually helped her.

......

A series of hurried footsteps came from not far away; sure enough, the young master couldn't hold back any longer.

"He Zhiqian!" Shen Yan pulled Ying Ning directly to his side.

"What are you doing?!"

Unexpectedly, He Zhiqian withdrew his hand and appeared indifferent, ignoring him completely.

Shen Yan gripped Ying Ning's wrist tightly until his strength left a bright red mark on her wrist.

He Zhiqian remained silent.

Yingning felt pain in her wrist and said, "Chen Yan, let go first."

Shen Yan turned to look at Ying Ning, a hurt look in his beautiful peach blossom eyes: "You want me to let go?"

He met Ying Ning's seemingly angry gaze, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

"He Zhiqian just treated you like that! Why didn't you tell him to let go?!"

The young master's jealousy almost made him lose his mind. Shen Yan's mind was filled with He Zhiqian's actions just now, and his words were aggressive.

He barely disregarded his own strength, still gripping her wrist tightly, as if in a final struggle before losing control.

Shen Yan hadn't expected Ying Ning to be so resistant to him right now.

[It's because...]

[He Zhiqian?]

"Chen Yan, you're incredibly strong..."

"Let go!"

"I won't let go!" Shen Yan took a big step and actually dragged Ying Ning away from the mall.

Even as they brushed past each other, she glared fiercely at He Zhiqian.

"Chen Yan!"

"I won't let go!" Shen Yan barely suppressed his anger, which had been building up for so long, and actually pulled Ying Ning to the parking lot.

He walked to the parking spot of his black Hummer and pushed Yingning into the back seat.

He immediately stretched out his long legs and stepped in.

"Chen Yan, let go!"

Shen Yan immediately pressed the lock on the car door, his hand still firmly on the door.

This left her with nowhere to escape.

"Yu Yingning, are you lying to me like this?"

"Tell me you have something to do this weekend?"

"Is this what you call having something to do?!"

"Going shopping with He Zhiqian?"

For some reason, Shen Yan suddenly thought of the time at the amusement park.

There was a strange atmosphere when He Zhiqian and Ying Ning walked out of the haunted house.

Could it be...?

"Was it when you and He Zhiqian were at the amusement park, in the haunted house, that you and He Zhiqian got involved?" he pressed Yingning.

The thought that Yingning and He Zhiqian were involved at that time even made his eyes redden.

Shen Yan came from a wealthy family and had hardly ever suffered any hardship growing up.

He could get whatever he wanted immediately. Although he always maintained a high level of curiosity about new things, he had never experienced the feeling of loss.

He had finally found his little rose, only to discover today, at this very moment, that others were also eyeing her.

His pent-up anger erupted almost entirely at this moment.

“I really do have work on the weekend…” Yingning struggled to free her wrist.

Shen Yan's aura grew stronger and stronger, almost completely enveloping her.

I was actually planning to pick out a gift to take home today...

But I never expected to witness such a scene.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her expression was full of disappointment in herself; the small mole at the corner of her eye resembled a tear.

"Yu Yingning, you really are..."

"You really..."

"Really... well done!"

She's clearly outmaneuvered herself, yet she's acting like she's been wronged.

When Shen Yan saw her phoenix eyes glistening with tears from the pain, he turned his head away, forcing himself not to look at her again.

After a long while, he suppressed his anger.

It seemed that a temporary calm had been restored, but the trembling in my body reminded me that this was just a peaceful illusion before the volcanic eruption.

Yingning rubbed her wrist and said, "I told you, I have work to do today."

"Work?" Shen Yan gave a cold laugh.

If she really had work, why would she be having coffee with He Zhiqian at the mall?

Could it be that these two would bump into each other for no reason at all?!

"How much is your salary? I'll give it to you!" Shen Yan opened his wallet and suddenly threw a bunch of cards at Ying Ning.

More than a dozen bank cards were scattered all over her body and where she was sitting.

It seems like they're going to make a big move and buy out Yingning's time.

“Chen Yan…”

But the instant after it was thrown out, I saw the incredulous look in her eyes.

Shen Yan immediately regretted it, but his spoiled young master temper made him stubbornly say, "Is that enough?"

If that's not enough...
