The night was deep, and the bedroom floor was bathed in the soft moonlight.
The little girl lying beside him had already fallen asleep, and Qi Shen took her phone and looked through it.
He had only a few simple apps, and the friends on his chat app were still the same few people. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he put the phone back in its original place, scooped the little girl, who was almost asleep on the edge of the bed, into his arms, and held her as she fell asleep.

Fang Zhi's wardrobe has brand representatives selecting the latest seasonal styles according to Qi Shen's requirements, eliminating sexy and revealing clothes, and delivering the remaining items at fixed times. This summer, Fang Zhi has already received new arrivals from several brands she frequently wears.
But Qi Shen rarely had a day off today, and the little girl was on weekends and hadn't been out for a long time, so after breakfast, he personally took her to the mall.
The CS shopping mall is decorated in an extremely luxurious style, with a dazzling crystal chandelier cascading down from the top floor in the center.
The floor is paved with luxurious white marble, and every step you take is like walking on a designer handbag. The air is filled with a rich fragrance.
The upscale stores were bustling with customers, except for one jewelry store which had its doors fenced off and refused to receive any visitors.
The saleswoman, dressed in a suit jacket and a pencil skirt, bowed apologetically, looking embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Qi, Mrs. Cheng is here today, and she specifically asked the place to be cleared."
Considering that President Qi and President Cheng were friends, she tentatively suggested, "Why don't I go in and tell President Cheng's wife?"
The dim light fell on the man's face, his gold-rimmed glasses gleaming coldly. Qi Shen said politely, "No need."
He suddenly had the idea to order a pair of couple rings with the young girl, but since Shi Yan's wife was there, he decided against it.
You can order the ring anytime.
He hadn't forgotten the look of curiosity in Zhizhi's eyes when she mentioned Lin Yisheng that day.
The shop assistant bowed to Qi Shen and Fang Zhi again, "Mr. Qi, and this beautiful lady, we are really sorry."
Qi Shen led the quiet girl away.
The shop assistant turned around and went back into the store to report what had just happened to the only VIP customer in the store.
"Who did you say?" A charming and alluring voice, captivating like a hook, came slowly from the sofa.
Shop assistant: "Mr. Qi from SQ, a friend of Mr. Cheng."
"Why don't you invite them in?" The woman looked up from the high-end jewelry catalog and slowly looked up at the sales clerk.
That was Zhang Yanru's face, her skin as white as snow.
Beneath her delicate eyebrows, her beautiful eyes, with their inward and outward curves, resembled autumn waters, shimmering with light as they moved. Every gesture, every smile, exuded a natural charm and elegance.
"It was President Qi himself who said it wasn't necessary."
Lin Yisheng rested her elbows slightly on her knees, propped her chin on her hand, and lightly tapped her cheek with her slender, pale fingertips, pretending to think. "You said he brought a woman with him?"
The shop assistant answered somewhat reluctantly, "I guess so..." She thought for a moment about the girl next to the man and added, "That young lady looks quite young, probably still in school."
"An old cow eating young grass." Lin Yisheng lowered her red lips, her tone revealing a hint of nonchalance. "Sure enough, there's no good one around the Cheng family." Qi Shen, who seemed the most upright person, was actually targeting a young girl.
The wife dared to scold the CEO, but she dared not follow suit and scold her immediate supervisor. There were other employees standing there, and if word got out, she would lose her job. So the employee pretended not to hear, smiling obsequiously and remaining silent.
Lin Yisheng looked up and asked casually:
"You seem to know him quite well. Is he a regular customer at the jewelry store, even though he's a grown man?"
"President Qi has been ordering jewelry here for the past few years."
Lin Yisheng gave a faint "Oh".
Who should a man give custom-made jewelry to? Definitely a woman.
Who knows if he's giving one or many?
She disliked her fiancé even before they got married, and by extension, she disliked his friends as well. Whenever there was a banquet with his friends and his group, she would avoid it if possible.
But now that we're married, the situation is different.
Who knows if that bastard Cheng Shiyan has ever spent their marital property to buy things for women?
They say snakes and rats are from the same nest. Although she looked down on Cheng Shiyan no matter how she looked at him, he was now like an ATM, earning half of her money. If he gave it to someone else, wouldn't she be at a loss?
"This, this, this..." Lin Yisheng flipped through the catalog, casually scattering the items without even looking at them, "They're all booked."
The shop assistants, including the manager, barely managed to suppress their beaming smiles. "Yes, ma'am."
-
Once they were away from the shop, Fang Zhi pursed her lips, looked up at the man's profile, and slowed her pace. "Brother."
Qi Shen turned to look at her. "Hmm?"
She stared intently into his eyes. "Do you have a problem with President Cheng's wife?"
Qi Shen was slightly taken aback, a fleeting surprise in his eyes, almost imperceptible. Then he smiled faintly, "She's Shi Yan's wife, why would I have a problem with her?" He reached out and ruffled the girl's hair, asking, "But why does Zhizhi think that way?"
Fang Zhi was silent for a few seconds, then softly uttered two words:
"I can sense it." She could clearly feel her brother's avoidance of Lin Yisheng.
From that chance encounter at the restaurant to this time, Lin Yisheng is his good friend's newlywed wife, so it's only polite and natural for them to greet each other when they meet.
Although my brother is not outwardly gentle and gentlemanly, he is still very courteous, but he avoided it both times.
It seemed that his behavior was so obvious that even the little girl noticed something was wrong. Qi Shen chuckled lightly without showing any emotion.
“Zhizhi, you’re feeling something’s wrong.” He pulled her into a men’s clothing store. As the sales clerk approached them, the man leaned down and whispered in her ear, “Do you want your brother to check your feelings when we get home today?”
