Chapter 426 - 404: That Pretty Boy Again?
The dinner party ended noisily, and everyone went their separate ways home.In Shen Yanchen’s car, Yan’er had already fallen asleep in Gu Qimiao’s arms, making the car quite silent.
Gu Qimiao suddenly asked, "Where do you think Liang Zixuan has gone? It seems we haven’t heard any news of her for a long time."
Shen Yanchen replied inexplicably, "How would I know?"
"She used to... like you, didn’t she?"
He answered irrelevant to the question, "I only like you."
The sudden confession made Gu Qimiao feel sweet inside, but she then looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Last time they kidnapped me, did you do something to them afterward?"
Shen Yanchen had originally forgotten about this matter, but her reminder brought it back to mind. However, he thought it best she didn’t know about those dark and dirty methods and said, "What could I do to them? Rescuing you was enough."
"But... shortly after, there was news about Lu Qianwen’s suicide. Now that I think about it, it seems very coincidental. Even if the plan failed, it wouldn’t lead to suicide, right?"
"What’s it got to do with you? It’s in the past, don’t overthink it."
His dismissive attitude made Gu Qimiao even more concerned. She looked at Shen Yanchen with a somewhat fearful gaze and very cautiously asked, "Did you kill them? Liang Zixuan isn’t very famous, so she’s said to be missing; but in reality, she’s dead, and Lu Qianwen didn’t actually commit suicide, right?"
Shen Yanchen found it amusing to hear her words and chuckled, "Honey, you should switch to writing detective novels."
Gu Qimiao also felt her speculation was somewhat absurd. Shen Yanchen, although skilled with knives and guns, was still a civilized person and wouldn’t lose his sense of measure like that. "But with their personalities, if they didn’t succeed, they would definitely act again. How could Lu Qianwen commit suicide? And Liang Zixuan has never appeared again."
"They suddenly turned over a new leaf." At a red light, Shen Yanchen stopped the car and turned to look at her, "Are you unused to no one harming you?"
"Am I sick or something?"
"Then why do you keep asking about them? Isn’t it better if they don’t appear?"
"I was just casually asking. By the way, I have a business meeting tomorrow night, remember to come home early to look after the child."
Shen Yanchen immediately frowned upon hearing this, "It’s that pretty boy again?"
Gu Qimiao glared at him, "What pretty boy? He’s a client introduced by Teacher Fang! He’s placed many orders at our shop, a regular customer. It won’t take long to finalize the deal."
"What deal do you need with a regular customer? They should just place an order directly. Clearly, he has bad intentions towards you!"
"You see nobody as a good person! That’s my job, and he’s not that kind of careless man."
Shen Yanchen’s tone became even more bitter, "Oh, you really understand him well, you even know what kind of man he is."
"I’m too lazy to argue with you. I’ll drop the child off at your company tomorrow. I’ll be home after dinner."
"Abandoning husband and child to accompany a wild man, Gu Qimiao, you’re capable."
"Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth!"
The two argued all the way, continuing even after getting off the car, not noticing that behind them, a woman sat at a distance in a wheelchair, her red lips curling into a sinister smile.
Just wait, she would make those who obstruct her happiness live a life worse than death!
She had already lost everything, there was nothing left to fear. At most, she would give her life in exchange.
