Chapter 344 The way he loves you is blinding.
Before Qi Mingxuan called, Shen Qingshu had just seen the news on the web.
The marriage certificate was officially announced, and although there was no wedding ceremony, it was enough to cause a sensation throughout the entire northern city.
In the photo, Fu Siyan remains serious and unsmiling, while Qi Mingxuan's cold and beautiful face has impeccable features; they are a perfect match.
Unlike her and Fu Siyan, their marriage was unequal from the start.
The 21-year-old Shen Qingshu and the 25-year-old Fu Siyan appeared too inexperienced when they entered the scene together.
Qi Mingxuan is not.
She is the daughter of the Qi family, the CEO of Ronghao Group, and Qi Mingxuan, who still shines brightly even when standing side by side with Fu Siyan.
At the age of 34, with an impressive record, topics about her are always related to terms like "new era woman," "strong woman," and "female role model."
Looking at their marriage certificate, Shen Qingshu had a strange feeling that 'they are a world unto themselves' and 'they are a perfect match'.
She thought she should wish Fu Siyan well.
Fu Siyan's first 34 years of life were not pleasant; in fact, they were filled with hardship and suffering. Now, he has finally met an outstanding woman who can fight alongside him.
She should sincerely wish Fu Siyan well, as a friend and as a member of the family.
But Fu Siyan had said he didn't want her blessing...
In the midst of my panic, Qi Mingxuan called.
Shen Qingshu answered the phone instinctively, but when she realized it was an unknown number and was about to hang up, she heard a woman's cold voice on the other end.
The woman identified herself, even with a blatant provocation.
"How did President Qi get my phone number?" Shen Qingshu asked calmly, but her grip on the phone tightened slightly.
She wasn't actually that calm.
"Isn't Miss Shen's concern a bit off?" Qi Mingxuan's voice held a hint of amusement. "You're Fu Siyan's ex-wife, and now that I'm married to Fu Siyan, aren't you even a little bit curious about me?"
This blatant provocation made Shen Qingshu frown.
But she didn't want to get too involved with Qi Mingxuan.
"President Qi, please speak frankly."
"Let's meet," Qi Mingxuan said proudly. "I have something I want to show Miss Shen, something about you."
Shen Qingshu initially wanted to refuse, but when she heard that it was about her, she agreed.
…
There is a very famous riverside coffee shop on the banks of the Lijiang River.
Shen Qingshu and Qi Mingxuan arranged to meet here.
It was very close. Shen Qingshu walked out of the villa, crossed the road, and arrived in less than five minutes.
As evening approached, the sky was painted red with rosy clouds.
Shen Qingshu walked into the coffee shop.
Qi Mingxuan, who was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the river, raised her hand and waved to her.
Shen Qingshu paused, pursed her lips, and walked straight toward her.
She sat down opposite Qi Mingxuan.
"What would you like to drink?" Qi Mingxuan asked in a queen-like manner, her gaze upon Shen Qingshu unabashedly scrutinizing her.
Shen Qingshu spoke calmly, meeting Qi Mingxuan's gaze without flinching, "President Qi, there's no need for formalities. Let's get straight to the point."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingxuan picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and as she put the cup down, she slightly curved her red lips. Then, her gaze returned to Shen Qingshu's face.
The two women faced each other silently, their demeanors completely different.
Qi Mingxuan was strong and proud. When she looked at people, she made no attempt to hide the arrogance and scrutiny in her eyes. She was an outstanding woman, and she did not bother to hide her pride and sharp edges.
She was gentle and pleasant, and although she had just recovered from a serious illness and was thin, her eyes and brows naturally possessed the unique tenderness of a woman from Jiangnan.
Qi Mingxuan's red lips curled slightly.
So it turns out Fu Siyan likes this style.
She appears non-aggressive, soft, and harmless, which is most likely to arouse a man's protective instincts.
But Qi Mingxuan felt that such a woman was useless and would not be of any help to a man's career.
She even believed that Fu Siyan's love for Shen Qingshu was nothing more than a man's protective instincts and male chauvinism.
Shen Qingshu saw the obvious scrutiny and disdain in Qi Mingxuan's eyes.
But she came here only to clarify things, not to start a fight.
"Mr. Qi, where are the things?"
Qi Mingxuan chuckled, took out an agreement from her bag, and pushed it in front of Shen Qingshu.
"Take a look."
Shen Qingshu picked up the agreement and opened it—
She wasn't too surprised when she saw the words "prenuptial agreement".
Businessmen value etiquette. Qi Mingxuan is a seasoned businessman and the sole heir of the Qi family. Even if she gets married, she needs to prioritize the interests of the group and the family.
Therefore, signing a prenuptial agreement is quite normal for them.
However, the further down she looked, the tighter and tighter Shen Qingshu's brows furrowed.
Qi Mingxuan kept staring at Shen Qingshu's face.
He took in every subtle expression and glance she gave.
A full five minutes.
Shen Qingshu put down the agreement and looked up.
Their eyes met.
Qi Mingxuan was very satisfied with Shen Qingshu's shocked expression.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Shen Qingshu frowned deeply. "So, you donated my bone marrow."
Qi Mingxuan raised an eyebrow. "Yes, so theoretically speaking, I am your savior."
Shen Qingshu clenched the agreement in her hand.
"But Fu Siyan repaid that life-saving debt for you with his own actions," Qi Mingxuan said provocatively. "Shen Qingshu, are you moved?"
Shen Qingshu did not answer her.
She never imagined that the bone marrow that gave her a second chance at life was obtained by Fu Siyan in such a way!
The agreement not only mentioned Fu Siyan and Qi Mingxuan's ten-year marriage, but also that Fu Siyan would eliminate those in the group who opposed Qi Mingxuan within three years.
Qi Mingxuan plans to acquire all of Ronghao's shares within three years.
In this agreement, Qi Mingxuan lived up to her businesswoman persona, putting profit first.
The harshest clause is that during the ten-year marriage period, Fu Siyan must be faithful to the marriage and must not do anything to betray it. Furthermore, no matter what Qi Mingxuan does, Fu Siyan cannot unilaterally request the dissolution of the marriage.
Shen Qingshu recalled the unspoken words Fu Siyan uttered that day…
It turns out that what he said was different, and it really was different.
Such an agreement would impose too many restrictions and pose too great a risk for Fu Siyan!
Shen Qingshu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Does Fu Siyan know you came to see me?"
“Fu Siyan doesn’t want you to know about this.” Qi Mingxuan looked at Shen Qingshu with disdain: “He’s afraid you’ll feel guilty. He wants to be seen as a great romantic and a good person. That’s why I arranged to meet you today. He doesn’t know yet, but I’ll tell him when I get back.”
Why are you telling me this?
"Why?" Qi Mingxuan scoffed. "Because I can't stand it! You're both divorced. Even though you had a son and a daughter for him, Fu Siyan is so humbled for an ex-wife. I'm really jealous of you."
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and stared at her intently.
"Miss Shen, just think of me as a bad person. I just don't want to see you living too comfortably. But remember, Fu Siyan has been my legal husband for the past ten years. Please make sure you keep your distance from him and don't do anything that leaves any trace of ties. Otherwise, I'll treat you like a mistress!"
Shen Qingshu put down the agreement and looked at Qi Mingxuan. "President Qi, rest assured, I have no interest in married men. Besides, Fu Siyan and I divorced a long time ago, and we have no connection other than our two children."
"Really?" Qi Mingxuan laughed. "But now that you know Fu Siyan sold himself for you, aren't you moved or ashamed?"
“Fu Siyan didn’t give me a choice,” Shen Qingshu said coldly. “Don’t you think I’m being very passive, President Qi?”
Qi Mingxuan paused.
Shen Qingshu's reaction was something she hadn't expected.
She laughed. "Miss Shen, do you mean Fu Siyan made a fool of himself?"
"He's an adult and should be responsible for his words and actions." Shen Qingshu said calmly, "President Qi asked me out today simply to see me feel guilty and upset. I do feel guilty, but what can I change?"
"It can't change anything?" Qi Mingxuan sneered, tapping her finger on the table.
"But it's more interesting if I expose this."
"Then President Qi has achieved his goal." Shen Qingshu asked with a cold laugh, "Is President Qi satisfied?"
"It's so-so. I mainly feel that the way Fu Siyan loves you is too dazzling."
Qi Mingxuan stood up and withdrew the agreement. "Anyway, that's how things are. Miss Shen can go to Fu Siyan, but it won't change anything. For the past ten years, Fu Siyan has been mine."
Calm and quiet.
Qi Mingxuan is gone.
Soft music filled the coffee shop.
Shen Qingshu remained seated for a long time without leaving.
Until nightfall.
A series of hurried footsteps echoed through the coffee shop.
Fu Siyan has arrived.
“Ah Shu…”
Shen Qingshu heard his voice and slowly raised her head.
The man looked anxious, his dark eyes fixed on her. "Ah Shu, are you alright?"
