A loud slap rang in his ears, and Shen Yanqing narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The bodyguard who had just arrived was a step too late. When he saw his boss being beaten, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Oh no, is it too late to apply to go to Africa to mine coal?
Ye Yunting grabbed Shen Yanqing by the collar, his forehead veins bulging with anger.
Shen Yanqing casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his dark eyes devoid of any light: "Who are you?"
"I am her husband!"
Ye Yunting gritted his teeth.
After speaking, the two of them, as if in perfect unison, turned to look at Gu Baiwei.
Gu Baiwei immediately shook her head: "I don't know you. Who are you?"
She refused decisively, without the slightest hesitation in her expression.
"Weiwei, don't you recognize me?"
Ye Yunting released Shen Yanqing with disgust, rushed forward, and grabbed Gu Baiwei's hand: "I am your husband, Ye Yunting."
Gu Baiwei knew who he was, of course. Even if his face were reduced to ashes, she would still recognize him, but she didn't want to.
In her past life, she had always followed in his footsteps, but now she was tired and wanted to let go.
"Impossible? Weiwei, how could you not recognize me?"
Ye Yunting excitedly grabbed her shoulders.
He gripped her very tightly, and Gu Baiwei couldn't help but frown.
A hand with distinct knuckles gripped Ye Yunting's wrist: "Let go! She said she doesn't know you."
Shen Yanqing shook off his hand, stepped aside to block Gu Baiwei, and looked at the black-clad bodyguard beside her.
The bodyguard, who had been engrossed in watching the drama unfold, suddenly snapped to attention and rushed forward to stop Ye Yunting from approaching.
"Weiwei, you know me, right? I was wrong before, can you give me another chance?"
Seeing the man who was once so high and mighty now so humbly begging for her forgiveness, Gu Baiwei clenched her fists.
At that moment, a large hand grasped hers, and Gu Baiwei looked up to meet Shen Yanqing's deep, unfathomable eyes.
A warm, large hand enveloped her, and a surge of inexplicable courage rose within Gu Baiwei.
She looked at Ye Yunting, her eyes, once full of love, now calm and still.
"Excuse me, I don't know you, and..."
She paused, then grasped Shen Yanqing's hand and raised their clasped hands together: "I have a boyfriend, and I don't want him to misunderstand."
Even though he knew she was using him, Shen Yanqing's heart, which had weathered countless storms, still couldn't help but beat wildly.
He gripped Gu Baiwei's hand even tighter.
After saying this, Gu Baiwei pulled Shen Yanqing away.
Ye Yunting wanted to follow, but was stopped by the black-clad bodyguard in a flash.
Shen Yanqing glanced back indifferently, and in the brief moment their eyes met, the bodyguard in black instantly understood his meaning and turned around to give him a raise.
He immediately perked up and put his earlier idea of going to Africa to mine coal out of his mind.
Gu Baiwei pulled Shen Yanqing away, only letting go of his hand when they were out of Ye Yunting's sight.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I just..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yanqing grabbed her chin.
Shen Yanqing looked down at her, his long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly: "Don't cry."
His slightly rough fingertips gently brushed across the corner of her eye, wiping away her tears, his tone incredibly gentle.
It must be said that Shen Yanqing is very handsome, tall with long legs and well-defined features, just like a cool and aloof nobleman who stepped out of a comic book.
Gu Baiwei was almost mesmerized by the sight, and looked away in a slightly flustered manner: "Who...who is crying? I just got sand in my eyes."
A slight smile appeared on Shen Yanqing's lips, and Gu Baiwei couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
The man's superior, three-dimensional features appeared even more defined under the sunlight, and when he smiled, everything around him seemed to lose its color.
This was the first time Gu Baiwei had ever seen him smile so genuinely.
In the past, his smiles were always indifferent and distant. Although he always appeared gentle and refined, the smile never reached his eyes.
"Don't be sad, I'll take you to a nice place."
Shen Yanqing didn't ask her why she was crying, but instead took her hand again.
At that moment, a black Maybach came to a smooth stop beside them.
The driver, wearing sunglasses and a black suit, respectfully got out of the car and opened the door for them.
Gu Baiwei hesitated for a second, but still got into the car.
"Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?"
Shen Yanqing chuckled softly, startling the driver so much that he almost slammed on the gas and crashed into the van in front of him.
Holy crap, their eldest son laughed, and he laughed so gently, it's unbelievable.
In the past, although their leader always smiled, that smile was like a knife hidden in his eyes. Generally, the gentler his smile, the more miserable the death of those who offended him.
It was only then that Gu Baiwei realized that she had gotten into Shen Yanqing's car without hesitation, even though they weren't that familiar with each other yet.
But since I've already taken the seat, it's too late to get off now, so I can only try to remain calm: "Don't worry, I'm not as rich as you when it comes to money, and I don't have the means to be with you when it comes to sex."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanqing suddenly leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her in a corner of the large chair, making it look as if he were holding her in his arms.
The driver in front suddenly saw this scene in his rearview mirror and wished he could gouge his own eyes out.
Oh no, we've discovered the boss's shocking secret. Will he be silenced tomorrow?
But there was something even more shocking to him.
Their boss, who was always averse to women, was actually flirting with one.
Gu Baiwei was startled by Shen Yanqing's sudden action: "Wh...what's wrong?"
