Chapter 286 It was her; she was delusional.
"I don't want to tonight," Su Xier said, clutching her stomach, still insisting.
This was her first pregnancy, and she knew nothing about it. She had seen in TV dramas that women who had sex during pregnancy would miscarry, and given her own health condition, she was very resistant to it.
Although she didn't necessarily want the child, she didn't want this little life to end like this.
Shen Zhantang felt that Su Xier was acting strangely tonight, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
He thought for a moment, then raised an eyebrow. "Is your great resentment towards me because of Jiang Shiyuan?"
Su Xier slowly raised her eyes.
"Last time, you asked me to invest in the Jiang family's Eternal Technology, and I didn't agree. Are you still angry with me now?"
Shen Zhantang's breath hitched, and he grabbed Su Xier's slender waist with his large hand, suddenly picking her up and placing her on the dressing table. His strong arms supported her on either side of her body as he slowly approached, their breaths mingling.
Su Xier's back was pressed against the mirror, feeling cool, but the man's eyes in front of her were indescribably deep and intense.
Her face flushed instantly, and she pressed her lips tightly together.
Her rosy cheeks, like peach blossoms, were captivating in Shen Zhantang's eyes, radiant yet adorable. Her shy demeanor was even more alluring than usual.
“I’ve been to Eternity, I just didn’t tell you,” Shen Zhantang said in a low, hoarse voice.
Su Xi'er was taken aback. "When did this happen?"
"For a while now, I've wanted to invest in my private capacity, without going through the company's accounts."
Shen Zhantang scoffed, "In the end, they didn't need my share at all. When I went there that day, Fu Chenzhou was there, and A Huai was there too. In the end, Jiang Shiyuan let Fu Chenzhou go up. The answer to who to choose was obvious."
So, has A-Yuan's financial difficulties been resolved?
Okay, as long as it's resolved.
So, did Shen Zhantang really take her words to heart?
Could it be that there really is a corner in his heart that holds her, and that he cares about her?
A warm feeling welled up in Su Xi'er's heart.
“She doesn’t need it, that’s her business. But I went, and I only went because of you.”
Faced with such beauty, Shen Zhantang could hardly contain himself. He looked at her with lust and said, "So, don't be stubborn. Let me go tonight... okay?"
Su Xi'er hesitated, unsure how else she could refuse him.
Just then, Shen Zhantang's phone rang incessantly.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket, his eyes filled with agitation. Seeing that it was his sister, Shen Yunlang, calling, his agitation vanished instantly. He answered immediately, his voice even becoming gentle:
"Little sister, what's wrong?"
"Brother! Help me!"
From that direction came Shen Yunlang's desperate cries, "I'm at Nightclub... surrounded by a group of people, I can't go home!"
"What do you mean? Who ambushed you? Who dares?!" Shen Zhantang was furious. Hearing that his younger sister had been bullied, his murderous aura surged terrifyingly.
Su Xier stared intently at the furious man before her.
My tongue feels dry and I have occasional acid reflux.
She had never seen him show such worry for her before, even when she had been whipped and shot for him, he had always remained so calm.
A human shield is just a human shield; he could never develop genuine feelings for an object.
It was her who was deluding herself.
"Yes, he's the young master of Donglian..."
On the other end of the phone, Shen Yunlang was sobbing uncontrollably, stammering, clearly terrified. "I don't know who he is... I don't recognize him. He came up to harass me... I refused him, and he got angry!"
I told him I was the second young lady of the Shen family, and that my brother was Shen Zhantang, the president of the Shen Group... As a result, he called a lot of people and blocked me and my friend in the private room, refusing to let us leave no matter what!
Brother... I'm so scared... Please come save me!
Before he could finish speaking, the call abruptly ended!
"Damn it! You dare touch my sister, Shen Zhantang? You're asking for death!" Shen Zhantang glared with bloodshot eyes and slammed his fist on the dressing table, sending the cosmetics crashing down.
"Eastern Alliance?"
Su Xier was right next to him, and she naturally heard Shen Yunlang's cries for help on the phone clearly. "The Second Miss hasn't been back to the country for a long time, and many people in Beijing don't recognize her. How could she have any entanglement with the Crown Prince of Donglian?"
Previously, Shen Zhantang had a falling out with the young master of Donglian, and the other side even resorted to violence. Later, the Shen family found someone in the officialdom to settle the matter.
However, the enmity between the two sides has been established.
But why would Shen Yunlang run into the Crown Prince of Donglian for no reason? Even if she did, no one in Donglian recognized her, so how did things escalate to this point?
"Is this the time for such nonsense? The Eastern Alliance has surrounded my sister, I have to save her right now!"
Shen Zhantang was extremely anxious, his eyes flashing with a fierce and cold light, "If they dare to lay a finger on my sister, I will make their entire Donglian pay with their lives!"
He turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Su Xi'er, who was still sitting at the dressing table, her cheeks still flushed.
"You're coming with me."
Su Xi'er's heart tightened. "Do I really have to go tonight?"
"You're my personal bodyguard, shouldn't you go?"
The lust in Shen Zhantang's eyes vanished, and his voice suddenly turned cold and hard, "Quickly change your clothes and come with me to save Yun'er!"
