Xie Shizhu waved the room card in front of Shen Zhan, raised his eyebrows deliberately, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Shen Zhan looked down at what was in her hand, his brows slightly furrowed.
Xie Shizhu returned the ID cards to the two people in turn, humming a little tune, and slowly swiped the room card at the elevator door. With a beep, the elevator door opened.
She leaned against the elevator door, stretched out her long legs to block the elevator door to prevent it from closing, and said in a long tone, "Let's go, both of you."
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
Shen Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xie Shizhu, with sparks hidden in his eyes, as if he wanted to cut Xie Shizhu into pieces from a distance of five or six meters.
System: [Holy crap, host, are you serious?]
Zhou Shuyan felt the air pressure around him was terribly low. He swallowed subconsciously and said, "Boss Xie, I'd better leave."
Xie Shizhu's face changed and he looked at Zhou Shuyan with a cold expression.
Shen Zhan retracted his gaze, was silent for a few seconds, went straight to the elevator entrance, and slowly got on the elevator.
Zhou Shuyan, under tremendous pressure, gritted his teeth, dragged his injured foot, and walked to the elevator very slowly.
Xie Shizhu was the last one to go in. When she closed the elevator door, she saw the shocked and surprised expressions of several waiters in the hotel lobby.
She had a calm expression, leaning against the elevator wall, playing with the room card in her hand.
Soon the elevator door opened.
Xie Shizhu walked out first. She walked leisurely to the door of the room, placed the room card on the electronic sensor, and the door opened automatically with a click.
Suddenly, a man and a woman appeared in the bright corridor. They walked towards the elevator and passed in front of the three people.
The man stopped and looked at Shen Zhan's face, then smiled and said, "Lawyer Shen, I didn't expect to see you here."
Shen Zhan smiled slightly with his thin lips, his voice a little distant: "Well, it's quite a coincidence."
The man hesitated for a moment, looked at Xie Shizhu, and then looked at Zhou Shuyan on the side.
There was surprise in his eyes, and he asked curiously, "I was just about to check out, what are you doing?"
Shen Zhan said calmly, "We are staying here. Mr. Wu, please lend me your room card. I will transfer the check-out fee to you."
"Oh, why bother talking about money for such a small matter? Take it. I've booked a room here for a month." Mr. Wu took out the room card from his pocket and handed it to Shen Zhan.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." The other man smiled and walked away from them with his girlfriend in his arms.
Chen Zhan handed the room card in his hand to Zhou Shuyan, who was standing beside him, and said slowly, "Just leave it at the front desk tomorrow."
Zhou Shuyan's tense body relaxed instantly. He felt alive again. He took the room card with both hands and said excitedly, "Thank you, Lawyer Shen."
As soon as the words fell, Xie Shizhu looked at Shen Zhan with a little more anger in his eyes.
Zhou Shuyan took the room card, looked at the room number on it, dragged his injured leg impatiently, opened the door, and quickly went in.
There was a slamming sound of a door closing, and Xie Shizhu whispered "Mind your own business" before swiping the room card and entering the room.
As soon as she entered, Shen Zhan followed closely behind her and he closed the door gently.
Xie Shizhu was bending down to change into slippers. Before she stood up, a force attacked her from behind. She was startled and was forced to stick to the cold wall.
Chen Zhan grabbed one of her wrists with one hand and pressed her against the wall, with his long legs pressed against her back, making Xie Shizhu unable to move. She could only press her cheek against the cold wall.
Xie Shizhu wanted to resist, but the difference in strength between them was too great. She gritted her teeth and roared angrily, "Chen Zhan! Let me go!"
Shen Zhan remained silent, staring down at her fair neck.
The two have been married for three years, and although Chen Zhan has a cold personality, he seems to have never been angry.
This time, Shen Zhan was a little abnormal. No matter what dirty words Xie Shizhu cursed, he still did not let go of his hand.
Xie Shizhu blurted out all the vulgar words he had learned in his life. He spat out five or six minutes of swearing without repeating a single word.
System: [I admire you!]
After a long while, Xie Shizhu was tired of scolding. He took a breath, rested for a while, and continued: "Oh, I just wanted to piss you off. Who told you not to tell Lin Wen and the others that you were married?"
Just as he finished speaking, Shen Zhan's fingertips that were clasping her wrist paused slightly, and then slowly let go of her.
Xie Shizhu was free, turned around and glared at Shen Zhan fiercely.
Chen Zhan lowered his eyes and stared at the woman's angry face, saying, "Don't forget who asked me to hide this marriage from others."
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu, knowing he was in the wrong, could only shut his mouth.
While the two were silent, Xie Shizhu's cell phone rang. She coughed lightly and took out her phone from her pocket. When she saw that the caller was Zhang Ya, she was a little surprised and hurriedly answered the call.
Zhang Ya's voice was weak as she said on the phone that she had fallen down the stairs, but no matter how she called the nanny at home, no one answered, so she had no choice but to call her first.
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu didn't care about the heavy rain. She put on her high heels, put on her windbreaker again, and hurried outside.
Shen Zhan picked up the bag that she had left on the table, followed her and closed the door.
After getting on the elevator, Xie Shizhu leaned against the wall, clutching his phone in both hands. His face was extremely pale, and he muttered to himself, "It's strange. It's raining heavily, and my dad is not at home, and the nanny is nowhere to be seen."
When Shen Zhan heard her words, his eyes suddenly became heavy.
After the elevator door opened, Xie Shizhu looked back at Shen Zhan and said, "My mother fell down the stairs. I have to go back first."
Shen Zhan looked at the heavy rain outside the glass revolving door and said, "Well, I'll drive."
Xie Shizhu's driving skills were not very good, and because of the rain and traffic jam, she had no way to refuse Shen Zhan and could only nod.
After the two got in the car, Xie Shizhu huddled in the passenger seat, staring down at the time on his phone. His usually unruly character was now unusually fragile.
Fortunately, the traffic was no longer congested, and Shen Zhan drove the car to Xie's house in 30 minutes.
Xie Shizhu quickly opened the car door and hurried into the house. What caught his eye was Zhang Ya lying weakly at the stairs, her beautiful, well-maintained face full of pain.
"Mommy..." Xie Shizhu went over to support her, but Chen Zhan got there first and helped Zhang Ya up.
He was as calm and composed as ever: "You stay home, leave this to me."
Xie Shizhu hesitated for a moment and looked up at Shen Zhan.
There was no expression on the man's angular face, and his deep eyes stared at her steadily. For some reason, the calmness that Xie Shizhu had disliked in the past was unexpectedly pleasing to his eyes at this moment.
It also gives me a greater sense of security.
