With a downturned smile, Xu Yanshu directly questioned him.
"Why did you arrange to meet Shengyi alone? What exactly do you want?!"
Xie Huanyu paused slightly, then blurted out, "She came to you to complain so quickly?"
"That little girl is just a little girl; all she does when something happens is complain." She scoffed dismissively at the thought.
This attitude made Xu Yanshu even more annoyed, and his tone became even lower, "Xie Huanyu, don't you think you've overstepped your bounds? Didn't I make myself clear enough before?"
Meeting Xu Yanshu's sharp gaze, Xie Huanyu was momentarily speechless, and then an inexplicable surge of anger welled up inside her.
Does he really cherish Qin Shengyi that much?!
Before this, the woman he loved and cared about most was clearly himself, but now she was questioning him like this because of another woman.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Xie Huanyu crossed her arms and retorted irritably, "Yeah, I went to see her alone, so what are you going to do with me?"
"you……"
Such a self-righteous attitude made Xu Yanshu's face turn even more ashen, and his temples bulged one after another. This Xie Huanyu was indeed as arrogant and domineering as ever.
Seeing the man's discomfiture, Xie Huanyu curled her lips in satisfaction, then continued her cold questioning.
"Xu Yanshu, you clearly said before that you wouldn't resent me, but now you've blocked me for no reason. Don't you have an explanation for this?"
She had already been careful enough in front of him, letting him summon her and dismiss her at will, yet now he was unilaterally cutting off all contact.
"Besides, nowadays, it seems like where I go and who I meet has nothing to do with you!"
“There’s nothing to explain,” Xu Yanshu said impatiently, his relentless questioning making him irritable. “Your whereabouts are indeed none of my business, but please don’t bother the people around me.”
"Otherwise, I might not be able to guarantee what I would do!"
Sheng Yi is gentle and quiet, and would never be a match for Xie Huanyu.
He was already feeling humiliated enough that he couldn't gain the Ouyang family's approval and they couldn't be together openly. If he were to let Xie Huanyu bully him at this point, he would truly be to blame.
Xie Huanyu's face darkened, and she asked in an ambiguous tone, "So you're threatening me now?"
"If that's how you want to understand it, then I didn't..."
"Brother Yan Shu?"
A questioning voice came from outside, and Qin Shengyi followed closely as he walked into the studio.
She originally wanted to give Yan Shu a surprise, but she didn't expect to see Xie Huanyu here, and the atmosphere seemed a bit off.
Xie Huanyu coldly sized up the newcomer, scoffed, and said, "Miss Qin, I really underestimated you. Your methods are quite clever!"
What's the meaning?
Qin Shengyi frowned in confusion. Just as he was about to say something, Xu Yanshu pulled him behind him.
"Xie Huanyu, I think I've made myself very clear. I don't want our feud to involve Shengyi,"
"If there's nothing else, you can go now!"
Qin Shengyi was still unsure of the current situation, but looking at the person who stood firmly in front of her without hesitation, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before.
However, this scene was particularly jarring to Xie Huanyu. Being threatened in front of Qin Shengyi made her feel extremely embarrassed, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.
She gave the person a deep look, then turned and walked away.
Qin Shengyi reached out and nudged Xu Yanshu, then carefully asked, "What's going on?"
Having calmed her anger slightly, Xu Yanshu asked instead of answering, "Shengyi, didn't you say that no matter what happens, we can't choose to keep it from each other?"
"Then why didn't you tell me about Xie Huanyu's invitation to meet you?"
It's Jiang Zhengyu again, that big sieve!
Qin Shengyi felt a pang of regret. She had only let it slip by accident that day, but Jiang Zhengyu had turned around and told Yan Shu. Only now did she belatedly realize why Xie Huanyu had been so sarcastic earlier.
"Because I didn't think it was a big deal, I didn't tell you..." Seeing the man's expression growing increasingly serious, Qin Shengyi quickly stopped herself, then looked up and smiled ingratiatingly, "I'm sorry,"
"I know I was wrong, and I promise it won't happen again. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Xu Yanshu glanced at him helplessly, then her expression softened slightly. "I just don't want you to suffer unjustly."
"You have me as your boyfriend, and if you still have to shoulder everything on your own, it makes me feel like a failure!"
As he spoke, Xu Yanshu gently reached out and ruffled Shengyi's long hair, his gaze tender and affectionate.
She was clearly a pampered little princess at home, but now that she had chosen to be with him, he wouldn't let her suffer any grievances by his side so easily.
But she wasn't as fragile as he imagined...
Meeting the man's tender gaze, Qin Shengyi swallowed the words that were about to come out. She nodded heavily and said with a charming smile,
"Okay, I understand. I'll consider you my big support from now on."
"From now on, I'll definitely tell you about any trivial matters that come up in the future. I hope you won't find me annoying!"
