Chapter 683 can be considered a good match.
Shi Yi noticed Han Yan staring at her and felt a little flustered. "What's wrong, Mr. Han? Can't I take this photo?"
Han Yan smiled and said, "I didn't say we couldn't film, but today's situation is a bit special. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, let's delete it."
Shi Yi quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of that. If this photo will affect Brother Qin Ce, I will delete it immediately."
Han Yan stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."
Although taking someone else's phone is impolite, Han Yan had to do it to ensure his safety.
Fortunately, Shi Yi didn't mind. Instead, she generously handed her phone to Han Yan and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Han. Please explain to Brother Qin Ce that I didn't mean anything by taking these photos. I didn't mean to cause trouble for Brother Qin Ce. Please don't misunderstand me."
Han Yan casually flipped through two photos, unsure whether Shi Yi was genuinely carefree or doing it on purpose.
The angles of the photos are increasingly suggestive.
He thought to himself, thankfully Qin Ce discovered it in time. If the photo had been accidentally leaked, Qin Ce would have been embroiled in a huge scandal.
Without hesitation, Han Yan pressed the delete button, cleared the photo album, and after confirming that everything was deleted, he returned the phone to Shi Yi.
"It's okay, just be more careful next time. Your brother Qin Ce hates this kind of thing the most. You know he's always been low-key and doesn't like his photos being spread everywhere, not even to his family."
Shi Yi nodded seriously, "I've got it."
"Um, may I ask when Brother Qin Ce is going back? Aunt Wang and Uncle Qin are both quite worried about him. Is he very busy in Beijing this time? Aunt Wang said he doesn't have time to go back."
"Oh right, and what about your sister-in-law? Why didn't she come with Brother Qin Ce this time?"
Han Yan said, "This is a family matter for your brother Qin Ce, and it's not convenient for me to tell you. You can ask him yourself when you have time. I'm leaving now."
Shi Yi looked a little disappointed, but still smiled and said to Han Yan, "Alright then, please ask President Han to tell Qin Cehe to remember to come home and visit when he's done with his work."
After Han Yan left, Shi Yi's smile gradually faded and eventually disappeared.
She picked up her phone and made a call.
"Did you receive the photos from earlier?"
"I received it. No, are you crazy? How dare you take such a scandalous photo of President Qin Ce? What are you trying to do?"
"You don't need to worry about it, just save the photos."
As soon as Han Yan got back into the car, Qin Ce asked, "Did you delete the photos?"
"I deleted it, I deleted it myself," Han Yan said. "But do you know who took the photos?"
"who?"
"Your childhood sweetheart is named Shi Yi."
Qin Ce frowned. "What's she doing here?"
Han Yan shrugged. "How would I know? But isn't she on good terms with your family? I guess your stepmother sent her over specifically to see what you're doing and keep track of your whereabouts."
Sometimes Han Yan felt sorry for Qin Ce.
On the surface, she had to guard against her own father causing trouble for her, while secretly she also had to be wary of her seemingly gentle and kind but actually extremely hypocritical stepmother.
Qin Ce instinctively felt that Shi Yi's appearance was not as simple as it seemed.
But after thinking about it, he felt that Wang Yu wouldn't be that foolish.
She usually plays the role of a loving mother at home, just to impress Qin Liang.
So even if she couldn't tolerate Qin Ce, she wouldn't make it so obvious.
This was probably just a little scheme orchestrated by Shi Yi herself.
Qin Ce closed his eyes to rest. "Just delete the photos, let's go back."
When Tan Yuwen returned home, her father was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, clearly waiting for her to come home.
"How did it go? Did you agree?"
Tan Yuwen sat on the sofa, took the honey water from the maid, and rubbed her temples. "I told you long ago that your method won't work. Qin Ce is someone who will never compromise in the business world. If you try to make him bow down like this, aren't you just slapping yourself in the face?"
Tan's father asked nervously, "Did he turn against me?"
"No, I compromised, and he agreed, but he only gave us three days."
Mr. Tan was relieved. “I was just worried that if the project went well, Qin Ce would have all the power and we wouldn’t get any benefits.”
"The fact that they got Tang Xi to step in is already a huge concession. What else do you have to be afraid of?"
"Yes, yes, I was inconsiderate in this matter," Mr. Tan said with an embarrassed smile. "So, how are things between you and Qin Ce?"
Tan Yuwen was taken aback, a little embarrassed. "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? What could possibly happen between him and me?"
“I’m your father, and you’ve been keeping this from me. You came all the way back from abroad and took the initiative to handle this matter. Isn’t it all for Qin Ce? Do you really think your father can’t see through it?”
Tan Yuwen bit her lip shyly and denied it, saying, "I just wanted to get involved in company matters; I didn't think that much about it."
“Look at you, why are you still hiding things from your father? This is a good thing. Anyway, Qin Ce is not married. Although he is the founder of S&C and Qin Liang’s son, your status is not bad either. It can be considered a good match.”
Tan Yuwen lacked confidence. "Dad, do you really think there's a chance for him and me?"
I had dinner with Qin Ce and the others today, but she was the one who initiated the conversation and tried to liven up the atmosphere the whole time.
Qin Ce spoke very little, and when he did say a few words, they were always in response to Han Yan's words.
I basically had zero communication with her.
Although Tan Yuwen liked Qin Ce, she didn't know how to truly win his heart.
Tan's father said, "Silly child, feelings need to be cultivated. You've only met for the first time, how do you know you two are not a good match? Trust your father, as long as you put in the effort, there is no man you can't win over. No matter how capable Qin Ce is, he is still a man, and he is no different from everyone else when it comes to feelings."
Tan Yuwen felt reassured by her father's words.
Although Qin Ce's status was unapproachable, she was no less capable than anyone else. There was plenty of time ahead, and she refused to believe that Qin Ce would truly remain indifferent to her.
On a weekend morning, after Qiao Xing woke up, she asked the nanny to cook an extra meal and send it to Shen Boyan, as usual.
Today happened to be her prenatal checkup day, so she didn't let Xing Jiu deliver it to her. Instead, she delivered it to Shen Boyan herself.
Shen Boyan was discharged from the hospital today. His complexion has improved a lot, but he still looks a bit sick.
Qiao Xing was worried. "Why don't you go home and rest for a while after you're discharged from the hospital? You've just recovered, and if you go back to work, what if you overwork yourself and something bad happens to you? Who will take care of you then?"
