Chapter 33 Wait for me to come back
This was the first time Shen Yichen had ever been violent towards her.
Zhou Siyan was terrified by his actions. Her neck felt tightened, and she frantically grabbed his hand. "Yichen, what, what are you saying?"
Shen Yichen's gaze was cold and angry. "That night, you called and deliberately said how badly you fell, just to trick me into coming down the mountain. You were deliberately trying to drive a wedge between me and Shuzhi, weren't you?"
Zhou Siyan panicked when her thoughts were exposed, but she put on an innocent look, "I didn't..."
"My foot really hurt when I fell, you know. I'm a dancer, so I'm always very careful about my feet. I was so nervous and scared that I called you for help."
She cried pitifully, "Yichen, believe me, I really... never intended to ruin your relationship with Shuzhi."
Shen Yichen didn't say anything, but released her with a stern face, turned around and walked to the sofa inside to sit down.
Zhou Siyan gasped for breath several times before slowly following. Seeing Shen Yichen's gloomy expression, she gritted her teeth and said in a show of retreat, "Yichen, if... if my appearance has made things difficult for you, then... then I'll leave. I can always go abroad again..."
Shen Yichen looked up at her, her eyes brimming with tears, her expression helpless and aggrieved, and pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
After all, she was his former woman, and thinking about the suffering she had endured abroad, he still softened.
Forget it, it's not like he can't afford to support another woman.
"I didn't mean to send you away, but there's one thing—"
He warned coldly, "You are not allowed to appear in front of Shuzhi again."

Qin Shuzhi returned home still feeling resentful.
After taking a shower, I felt a bit calmer, but then my stomach started protesting again.
She went into the kitchen and made some instant noodles. Before she could even take two bites, Shi Yuanxing called her on WeChat video.
Qin Shuzhi did not hesitate and immediately picked up her phone to answer the call.
Shi Yuanxing, who was over there, stared at the instant noodles in front of her and was taken aback. "Why are you eating instant noodles?"
Qin Shu knew, "It's been too long since I've had this; I'm missing the taste."
Shi Yuanxing observed her expression calmly and asked gently, "Then why are you eating so late?"
"I went out for a while and just came back and took a shower."
"I see." Shi Yuanxing was about to say something when he heard her suddenly ask,
How much longer until you come back?
"Work here is going smoothly, and I should be able to come back in about three days."
"Oh, three days."
On the screen, the girl gently stirred her instant noodles, a hint of disappointment flashing across her downcast face. Shi Yuanxing narrowed his eyes sharply, "What's wrong? You look unhappy."
Qin Shuzhi paused in her work. "No, it's just... I miss you a little."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the man in the video pause for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. She was also a little surprised by what she had said.
"Mrs. Shi, do you miss me?"
Shi Yuanxing's voice was clearly tinged with pleasure.
This was the first time she had said "I miss him" since he had been gone for so many days.
Even through the screen, Qin Shuzhi was a little afraid to look him in the eye, and quickly tried to make amends, "What I wanted to say was... I miss your cooking. Aunt Ding's cooking skills are not as good as yours."
"Yeah?"
Shi Yuanxing smiled mischievously and teased, "So Mrs. Shi would rather eat instant noodles than let Aunt Ding cook?"
Qin Shuzhi: "..."
Oh no, I hope what she just said will put my aunt at risk of losing her job.
"Actually, Auntie's cooking skills are also quite good, second only to yours. Moreover, she is a very nice person, kind, and hardworking."
She said sincerely, "I quite like her."
Seeing how eager she was to speak well of her aunt, Shi Yuanxing chuckled and obligingly agreed, "Well, it seems that Aunt Ding took good care of my wife while I was away. I'll have to give her a bonus this month."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and when Shi Yuanxing saw that she wasn't touching her chopsticks, he said, "Okay, let's stop chatting, otherwise you won't be able to eat this noodle dish."
"Okay, let's talk later."
Just as Qin Shuzhi was about to say goodbye, she heard someone call out from the other side, "Mrs. Shi."
"Hmm?" Qin Shuzhi met a pair of eyes that held a deep meaning.
He smiled slightly and said to her, "Wait for me to come back."
Qin Shuzhi's heart skipped a beat, and it continued to pound wildly even after the call ended.
She thought of that night at the Shi Mansion, when he held her and said in an ambiguous tone, "Wait for me to come back from my business trip."
This sentence has a special meaning between them.
There are only three days left; he's giving her a hint.
Qin Shuzhi became a little nervous after hearing what he said.
He returned in three days, and she should prepare herself properly.
For example... certain necessities.
With that thought in mind, she didn't even bother eating the noodles anymore, and quickly picked up her phone to order a certain set online...
The items were delivered early the next morning.
When Qin Shuzhi held those boxes, she was a little at a loss.
Where should I put my things?
She walked around the bedroom a few times with the bag in her hand, and finally put the bag in the drawer closest to the bedside.
After putting the items away, she closed the drawer, thought for a moment, then opened it again, untied the tied shopping bag, and revealed the boxes.
That should make it easier to get, right?
Okay, that's all.
She took a deep breath and carefully closed the drawer again.
The highly suggestive words from last night, "Wait for me to come back," flashed through her mind. She glanced at the drawer again, feeling her heart pounding unusually fast.
She couldn't hide her nervousness and shyness.
After all, she had never had this kind of experience before.
There was never any intimate behavior between her and Shen Yichen.
Shen Yichen had also brought it up before, but she refused.
That was when they had only been together for a month—
That day, Shen Yichen developed a fever due to the high intensity of his work, and she went to his residence to take care of him.
That evening, when she brought the medicine to his room, she found him standing by the window, lost in thought, holding a photo of Zhou Siyan.
Upon seeing her come in, he nervously hid the photo.
When Shen Yichen confessed his feelings to her, she explicitly asked him if he had let go of his ex. It was only after he firmly told her that he had no more feelings for his ex that she agreed to be with him.
Seeing his actions now...
Although Qin Shuzhi felt bad, she still chose to believe him.
Unexpectedly, after he finished taking his medicine, as she was about to leave, he hugged her from behind and asked her to stay in the room with him that night.
The implication that he wanted to have sex with her was already quite obvious.
He was just staring blankly at his ex-girlfriend's photo, but now he says he wants her. Does Qin Shu know if he's missing his ex and desperately wants an outlet, or... wants to force himself to forget his ex quickly by having sex with her?
But no matter the reason, Qin Shuzhi could not accept it.
She can give him time to completely end his feelings for his ex.
But she couldn't accept that he wanted to be intimate with her because of someone else.
So she refused.
Because Shen Yichen was still ill at the time, she didn't want to upset him, so she gave a reason in a roundabout way: she said that she hoped the two of them would have a relationship after marriage.
Since that incident, Shen Yichen has never made that kind of request to her again.
