Chapter 19 Thank you, Han Zhan
Would he be so kind?
He is not a kind person.
After a long time without hearing Shi Yin's answer, Han Zhan asked: "What are you thinking about, wife?"
Shi Yin came back to her senses and made up an excuse: "The photos are beautiful."
"Let me see."
Han Zhan took the photo frame.
Took a few glances.
The photographer asked them to get closer, so he reached out and put his arm around her slender waist. Her eyes widened in surprise, and her dazed and innocent look made him laugh. At that moment when he lowered his head and smiled at her, the photographer pressed the shutter button, freezing the scene in the photo.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when we returned to Beishan Villa.
As part of their contractual marriage, Shi Yin and Han Zhan slept in separate rooms. He gave her the master bedroom, while he himself stayed in the study. Shi Yin went into the house and put the framed photo in the closet. She took a quick shower and emerged wrapped in a hair drying cap when she received a message from her friend Mo Li.
"Yinyin, I've found out what you asked me to do about Meng Xi's movements over the past month."
"(document)"
"Open it and take a look. If there's anything else you need me to do, feel free to call me."
The dormitory at Peking University was a double room. She and Mo Li met at the dormitory door at the beginning of their freshman year. They were roommates for four years and became lifelong friends.
Shi Yin: "(Love heart)/holding the heart and bowing emoji/."
Moli: "(Mmmmm)/Big red lips emoji/"
Shi Yin nestled in the chaise longue nearby, opening a document and swiping her fair fingers across the screen, carefully browsing the contents. Meng Xi's movements were limited, essentially confined to the rental house and the Shi's Building. He was on call 24/7, obeying Shi Qinghe's orders and helping her with all sorts of necessities, like a nanny.
etc.
On November 26, Meng Xi went to the Municipal People's Hospital.
Oncology inpatient department.
Shi Yin took a screenshot of this part and sent it to Mo Li: "Did she go to the hospital to visit a friend?"
"Looks like they're relatives."
"Meng Xi is an orphan."
"Then I don't know." Mo Li replied, "When I found out about this, I asked someone to go to the Municipal People's Hospital to check it out. The patient she visited was in her fifties or sixties, had cancer, and was undergoing chemotherapy."
Shi Yin seemed to be lost in thought.
While she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the master bedroom door. She quickly turned off her phone, got off the sofa, and opened the door. Han Zhan was standing at the door. The man was holding a black velvet box. He handed it to her and said, "Open it and take a look."
Shi Yin did as he was told.
A dazzling American square diamond ring caught her eyes.
"Young Master Han, this—"
"Reward." Han Zhan said.
Shi Yin understood what he meant. Jin Baili was very satisfied with the dress she designed, and immediately promised him the pigeon-blood Moroccan ruby ring in the suite for free. She helped him save tens of millions, so he was naturally happy.
Without waiting for Shi Yin to speak, Han Zhan took the diamond ring out of the box, took her other hand, and slipped it onto her fair, bony index finger. After putting it on, he glanced at it again and said frivolously, "The ring looked so plain in the box, but it's so beautiful on my wife's hand. As expected, beautiful people look good in anything."
Shi Yin is a traditional and reserved person.
When she was with Song Sinian, they had both expressed their love for each other, but it was only a single word. In addition, due to the living environment she had grown up in, she rarely heard any praise except humiliation and bullying.
She knew Han Zhan was a playboy, full of flowery words and no sense of propriety, and he had probably said these words to many girls. But she still felt a little touched, not by emotion, but because she had never experienced it before.
The ring on my index finger was heavy.
Very substantial.
Shi Yin raised her eyes and looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her and said, "Thank you, Han Zhan."

After the Great Snow, winter came to the capital.
This winter is particularly cold.
The weather forecast says there will be a heavy snowstorm at the end of the month.
Shi Yin had been promoted to deputy director of the design department for some time. She was very considerate of her subordinates. When a colleague fainted on the way to work, she personally rushed them to the Municipal People's Hospital and visited them every day. Today was her fourth day there, and she carried a fruit basket and walked through the corridor to the inpatient oncology department next door.
Meng Xi entered the ward and took off his sunglasses and mask. He looked at the man sitting in front of the window basking in the sun and said with a smile, "Dad, I made you some lotus root and pork rib soup."
Before he finished speaking.
She glanced at the fresh fruit basket on the nightstand.
Meng Xi's brows furrowed suddenly. In the vast capital, they lived alone, with no relatives or friends. "Dad, did anyone visit you in the hospital before I came?"
"Your colleague."
"My colleague?"
Shi Qinghe will not come.
In her eyes, Meng Xi was just cheap labor, a slave who provided her with high-quality design drafts. She didn't care about her family, but only took advantage of this weakness and squeezed out the value.
"She's a very good girl. She's been visiting me for several days, talking and playing chess with me." Father Meng said, his eyes glancing somewhere and lighting up. He called out, "That's her, Yin Mei'er."
Meng Xi realized something was wrong.
Turning in the direction the man pointed, she saw Shi Yin. Standing at the doorway, holding a bowl of washed fruit, she wore a pure, innocent smile and took the initiative to greet him, "Meng Xi, your father is such a great chess player. I've lost three days in a row. If he hadn't deliberately let me win today, I wouldn't have won at all."
The two looked at each other.
Shi Yin raised her clear almond-shaped eyes and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Meng Xi silently clenched her hands at her sides. Her vigilance made her look Shi Yin up and down several times. Considering her sick father, she followed his words and replied, "Second Miss, you are too kind."
Shi Yin stayed in the ward for another half an hour.
She said goodbye to Father Meng and told him she would come visit him when she was free. Shi Yin walked out the door and walked a few steps along the empty corridor when she was stopped by Meng Xi who caught up with her, "Second Miss!"
Shi Yin stopped.
She turned her head to look at the person coming from behind, her breathing was rapid and her face was nervous.
"My dad has mid-stage liver cancer and is in poor health. If you have any questions, please come to me and don't embarrass him, okay?"
"You worry too much."
"You were able to quietly board the royal cruise ship, appear before Jin Baili, and seamlessly retrieve your two design drawings. You were promoted to Deputy Director of the Design Department, making you equal to the young lady. My concerns are not unnecessary." Meng Xi stared at her and said, "I'm just a small fry working for the young lady. I'm not worth your time and effort to target her."
The corridor was silent for a few seconds.
Shi Yin approached her, stopped a few centimeters away, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "How do you know I want to target you, not help you?"
