The women in the harem are all ruthless and cunning, yet Shen Yi, a grown man, is not afraid of them.
Shang Xian's eyes were deep, and she gave a self-deprecating smile. She had almost forgotten who Shen Yi was. He was Chairman Shen. How could he have secured the top position in the Licheng business district without some ability?
A man who is adept at handling all situations is quite terrifying.
She suddenly remembered what Li Ci had told her before: never marry someone in the business world, no matter how capable they are, because the waters are too deep and they're no longer clean.
She even asked him, "And what about him?"
Li Ci simply sighed and didn't say anything more.
But now she can only choose Shen Yi, and among these people, only Shen Yi is absolutely incapable of harming her, at least for now.
Thinking of this, she hummed a little tune as she went to change her clothes.
"Twilight, take off all these headdresses from my head. They're too heavy. Just put them in a simple bun, the simpler the better."
"Is Her Majesty going out again?" Twilight asked casually, as she was already used to it.
"Yes, I went out to play with other people," Shang Xian replied with a smile. She was very straightforward, trusting those she employed and not employing those she didn't trust.
Hearing her straightforward answer, Dusk smiled.
Shang Xian looked at Mu Se's face in the bronze mirror and naturally knew what she was thinking. In fact, more importantly, if Mu Se betrayed her, she would definitely kill her, but she did not want that day to come.
She had just finished getting dressed when she heard rustling sounds coming from the window. Since it was getting dark, the sounds were a little scary.
Dusk turned pale and almost cried out, but Shang Xian stopped her.
"Young Marquis, aren't you afraid the Emperor will chop you up if you come to the inner palace so late at night instead of sleeping?" Shang Xian looked at Rong Ling, who had climbed in and was dusting off his clothes, with a half-smile.
Dusk patted his chest and looked at Shangxian: "Your Majesty?"
Shang Xian shrugged: "I don't know."
Seeing that she was dressed in casual clothes, Rong Ling asked curiously, "Are you going out?"
"Um"
"I should have known better than to climb over here," he said, adding that it had taken him a lot of effort.
"Then what are you doing here?" That seems to be the key point. How could a dignified young marquis like him climb through a window into the Empress's palace?
"I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd take a look, just a look, um... just a look." He immediately despised himself after saying that; he was just blatantly lying!
"Now that we've finished watching, can we go back?"
“Aren’t you going out? Come along,” Rong Ling said with a grin.
I'm going out with someone else.
Rong Ling's smiling face immediately turned into a mournful one: "Was it that man from that day?"
Shang Xian naturally didn't refute: "Him."
"Who exactly is he? Does Tianqi even exist?" He's so well-informed, yet he's never heard of such a person.
"A man?" Shang Xian asked in return.
Rong Ling was taken aback: "Not a man?"
"That's right, from the beginning until now I still don't know if he's a man or a woman. He can really be either male or female, and his face is different each time. In the martial arts world, everyone calls him Master Yi because he's so powerful, and some even call him Father Yi."
Rong Ling's jaw dropped at the end; this was truly bizarre...
How strange! A man... oops, a woman... well, neither man nor woman.
Rong Ling quickly composed herself: "Then let's go out together."
"Let me ask," Shang Xian slowly closed his eyes.
Rong Ling: "???" Is there magic between them?
[CEO, Rong Ling said he wants to go out with us.]
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yi coldly replied, "Let him die."
"He said he'd kill you," Shang Xian relayed the words to Rong Ling.
