Chapter 229 Your boyfriend has a thick skin.
Lan Xinyan found it strange. Normally, when the children weren't home, Shen Zhiye would invite her to a romantic candlelight dinner for just the two of them.
But he seemed distracted today.
"Shen Zhiye!"
"Huh? Hey, I'm here, I'm here. What's wrong, honey?" Shen Zhiye spilled some water from his cup and quickly grabbed two tissues to wipe it up.
"What are you hiding from me?" Lan Xinyan asked, squinting her eyes. "You're not being honest."
“How could I dare to be dishonest, wife?” Shen Zhiye chuckled, put down his water glass, and tossed a tissue onto the table. “I’m a blank slate in front of you.”
"You?" Lan Xinyan glanced at him disdainfully. "A blank sheet of paper? A blank sheet of paper as thick as a city wall?"
"What are you saying?" Shen Zhiye moved closer to her, pressing his body against his wife's. "The children aren't here, so how about we have a candlelight dinner?"
That's normal.
Lan Xinyan waved her hand, "I'm on a diet and I don't eat at night, you can leave now."
"Alright, alright, I'll be waiting right here. I'll be at your service whenever Your Majesty gives the order." After saying that, Shen Zhiye picked up the fruit plate from the coffee table. "Have some blueberries. They won't make you gain weight and they're nutritious."
Lan Xinyan picked up a blueberry and put it in her mouth, looking uninterested. "I don't know when Buyu will be back. I don't feel at ease when she's not home."
Shen Zhiye's eyes flickered. "I'm not with friends, and I have bodyguards with me, so it's fine."
“She’s just too well-behaved. If she were to run around outside all the time, I wouldn’t worry,” Lan Xinyan said, no longer wanting to eat blueberries. “I’ll go to the kitchen and make her some small fish wontons. She loved them when she was little.”
"Honey, could you make me a few big fish wontons?" Shen Zhiye got up and went into the kitchen, chatting and laughing all the way to make her happy.
Before Yan Buyu could even process what was happening, Si Jingxu had already led him into his car.
Shen Yanzhou and Shen Yunqi followed in their car.
"Hey, where's my money?" She then remembered her bag of US dollars.
“I saw it, Gu Feng took it.” Si Jingxu put his arm around her shoulder and leaned down to nuzzle her ear. “You scared me to death today.”
"It's alright, I know what I'm doing," Yan Buyu said, feeling itchy, and tilted her head. "Brother Jingxu, what grudge does Brother Jingyi have against Yan Qihang?"
During the festival, he died at the hands of both his previous and current incarnations.
“Oh, that’s a long story,” Si Jingxu thought for a moment, then decided to answer truthfully, “Song Jingyi’s mother, who is also my mother’s good friend, was once deceived by Yan Qihang.”
Without a word, he suddenly realized.
I see.
Even her mother was deceived by Yan Qihang; she, a child with no skills whatsoever, wanted to stab him in the back.
Not to mention the truly formidable Song Jingyi.
“Yan Qihang’s death was not unjust at all.” Yan Buyu poked Si Jingxu’s palm. “His death is the only way to honor those he deceived.”
"He's not going to make it." Si Jingxu kissed her forehead. "Do you want to learn martial arts?"
He could completely understand Yan Buyu's desire to take action against Yan Qihang today.
But he was also worried that the risk to a petite and delicate girl facing a crazed middle-aged man was very high.
If she knows kung fu, it would greatly reduce the risk.
"Fighting? Like Senior Xiaoxiao? You don't mind?" Yan Buyu asked, somewhat surprised.
After all, there's the example of Qi Feng and Zhou Yixiao.
Si Jingxu smiled nonchalantly, "That idiot Qi Feng can't even find a place to cry now. He's got a screw loose, but I'm not."
He cares more about his little feathers.
He couldn't guarantee that he would be there to protect her every moment.
He also didn't want to keep her like a canary in a so-called safe cage.
She should be free; she belongs to herself.
"Therefore, I hope you have the ability to protect yourself, so that you can ensure your safety even without us by your side."
Si Jingxu's voice was low and soft.
They didn't say "I love you," but their silence sounded like the most beautiful love words in the world.
With a sudden impulse, she turned her head, tilted it slightly upward, reached out and pulled Si Jingxu's collar, pulling his body down.
Si Jingxu's eyes were filled with tenderness, and he cooperated in every way.
The girl's soft lips touched his, and he closed his eyes, responding gently.
He tightened his arms around her, but dared not make any big movements, for fear of startling her like a fawn.
Shen Yunqi sat in the back with Shen Yanzhou, craning his neck to look into Si Jingxu's car.
“At times like this, I just wish the tinted windows were better; you can’t see anything outside.” Shen Yunqi sat back down. “I was just a step too late.”
“If Buyu likes it, that’s enough,” Shen Yanzhou smiled gently. “I was a little surprised that Buyu didn’t listen to Yan Qihang this time.”
Shen Yanzhou was very happy when his younger sister contacted him with a text message in the middle of the night.
She didn't go alone or put herself in danger; instead, she sought help immediately.
Shen Yunqi puffed out his chest, brimming with pride, "Don't even look at who raised her. She's obedient, reasonable, and intelligent. My sister is one of them."
“It’s mine now too,” Shen Yanzhou pushed up his glasses. “Of course, it’s undeniable that you did a very good job.”
Shen Yunqi was happy.
That's right. Now, apart from Yan Buyu, Boss Shen can also see his own merits.
"What should I tell my mom when I get home?" Shen Yunqi scratched his head. "Tell her the truth? Or what, brother?"
Shen Yanzhou pondered for a moment, "Tell Aunt Lan that Yan Qihang cheated people out of money and was killed. That's enough. There's no need for Aunt Lan to worry about anything else."
Shen Yunqi nodded. "I'll listen to you."
"So well-behaved?" Shen Yanzhou chuckled.
"President Shen, who can afford to offend him?" Shen Yunqi leaned back in his chair, tilted his head and said lazily, "Big brother, can you buy me a game console?"
"I'll buy it," Shen Yanzhou said readily.
He's lucky to have such a well-behaved younger sister and an obedient younger brother, isn't he?
The return journey was more pleasant and shorter than the outward journey.
The young couple, who hadn't had enough time to enjoy each other's company, were interrupted by two older men knocking on the door.
"Jingxu, would you like to come in for a late-night snack?" That's what he said, but Shen Yanzhou showed no intention of letting anyone in.
Si Jingxu seemed not to understand, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm really hungry after all this trouble. Sorry to bother you, Yanzhou."
With a snicker, Yan Buyu followed Shen Yunqi through the door.
Shen Yunqi chuckled and whispered, "Your boyfriend has a thick skin."
Yan Buyu nudged his arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Besides, you're shameless. Eat your fill, but don't talk about him."
"So you're already protecting him?" Shen Yunqi exaggeratedly covered his arm, then lowered his voice, "You should learn from him. You're so thin-skinned, you blush every time someone says something to you. You're the kind of person who's so thin-skinned that you'll starve to death."
"I won't starve to death. My brother will take care of me for the rest of my life, right?" Yan Buyu looked up with a smile.
Shen Yunqi was taken aback, then immediately changed his tune, "Of course! Do whatever you want. I'm shameless, I'll take care of you!"
