After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 463 - 458: You Hesitated

Qi Si finished his bath and came out, noticing Shen Yan was still carefully drying the puppy’s fur. His motion to dry his hair momentarily paused as his handsome brows furrowed.

"Mr. Qi, this is still a little male dog, with a wide skeleton, he’ll definitely grow to be quite large!"

Qi Si’s complexion changed immediately!

He strode over and flung the little pup, who was enjoying himself under the towel, onto the carpet.

"Ow ow ow!"

The little pup hadn’t really hit anything, but it howled loudly as if Qi Si had thrown it harshly.

"Mr. Qi?"

Shen Yan, holding the towel, blinked and looked at the man wrapped in just a bath towel.

Qi Si pulled her in front of him: "Let’s not fuss anymore, if you’re not tired, we can do something else."

"Mr. Qi, do you think about these kinds of things every day?" Shen Yan threw the dog-haired towel into the basket.

The little pup ran behind the door, curled up in the corner of the blanket, and quietly lay there watching the two of them.

Maybe because it was too small, after being active all day, it was tired. The puppy soon closed its eyes and fell asleep, completely unaware of the rising temperature in the room, and the occasional ambiguous noises from the bed.

Shen Yan opened her eyes, and it was nearly noon.

There was some noise outside, so Shen Yan got up.

Dressed neatly, Qi Si’s call came in: "The hot meals are all on the table."

The table had a function to keep the food warm, so she didn’t worry about the meals getting cold in cooler weather.

At this time of day, it was too late for breakfast, but too early for lunch.

Shen Yan yawned as she walked out: "Will Mr. Qi have to work overtime tonight?"

"I’ll try to get off work as soon as possible."

Shen Yan saw the small dog playing in the yard and paused, "I have an announcement this afternoon; I may come back late. I may also have to make a trip to the research institute. If Mr. Qi comes back early, don’t wait for me for dinner."

Qi Si said: "Is there another research project at the institute that requires your personal involvement?"

"Not currently, just going to take a look," Shen Yan had already prepared a preliminary report for the third terminal illness research direction.

She planned to go there to meet with the researchers at the institute and discuss it.

But she hadn’t told Qi Si about this.

Qi Si could probably guess, and he didn’t ask too many questions about the affairs of the research institute.

It involved confidential matters; he understood the discretion needed.

Perhaps he heard the puppy’s voice; Qi Si’s tone became heavier, "If you are busy, I’ll have Uncle Liu find someone to take care of the dog. Don’t bother looking after it yourself anymore."

"Mr. Qi, it knows how to go outside to take care of its business!" Shen Yan’s cheerful voice came through, and it only irritated Qi Si further.

Shen Yan’s mood was actually fluctuating because of a little male dog!

Qi Si felt that they could no longer keep the dog.

"I’ll notify Uncle Liu to pick it up."

"Uncle Liu doesn’t have time to take care of it either," Shen Yan picked up the puppy and said: "Xiao Zhao would probably like it. I’ll have Xiao Zhao help take care of it."

This was the puppy Qin Dingyue had found; it was supposed to be returned. Still, Shen Yan decided to keep it for a while longer before deciding.

Finding someone to take care of it was just a casual remark.

Since Shen Yan spoke like that, Qi Si didn’t voice the rest of his thoughts: "If it’s trouble, send it back to the villa in Shen City and let the servants take care of it. Don’t tire yourself out."

"It’s just a little dog; it’s not bothering me." Shen Yan set down the puppy and stood up, "I need to get ready to head out, and Mr. Qi should also have lunch on time."

"Wow! Such a cute little dog! It’s so adorable! Yanyan, where did you get it from?" Xiao Zhao was absolutely thrilled when she saw the puppy brought out by Shen Yan!

However, the puppy she picked up clearly disapproved of her, tilting its head all the way up to the sky.

Liu Su rarely saw small animals nearby and smiled, "Mr. Qi agreed to keep it?"

"Mr. Qi didn’t say anything," Shen Yan said.

"It’s rare for him to agree to keep such a small animal," Liu Su said with a smile.

Shen Yan asked, "Mr. Qi doesn’t like small animals?"

"He doesn’t like them much, but he also doesn’t have a habit of mistreating small animals, so you can relax about that," Liu Su explained to Shen Yan, not wanting Qi Si to be misunderstood.

"Yanyan, this one looks like a pure mutt!" Xiao Zhao exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Su reached over from the driver’s seat, picked up the little dog, and said, "White chest, the legs are also half white, must have been abandoned by its owner."

"How can someone throw away such a cute dog, that’s too cruel," Xiao Zhao said distressingly as he took the dog back.

"White chest, white chest, it all comes to naught... There are many such unlucky sayings among the people," Liu Su said, not caring about these beliefs.

Xiao Zhao was stunned, "There are such sayings?"

Shen Yan was scrolling on her phone, indifferent to these so-called folk sayings.

"By the way, Director Li called me twice to mention that the fourth season of ’Survival on a Desert Island’ is considering moving to a foreign island, and he’s asking if you want to consider it. This time Director Li has invited internationally renowned superstars to join, investing a hefty sum which could greatly help you break into the overseas market," Liu Su mentioned.

Hearing this, Shen Yan put down her phone, "Does Uncle Liu think I should consider it?"

"The process of ’Survival on a Desert Island’ is similar, much safer than ’Extreme Speed’," Liu Su wanted Shen Yan to think it over.

"If Uncle Liu thinks it’s worth considering, then I will think about it."

"Then shall I discuss the details with Director Li?" Liu Su asked.

Shen Yan nodded.

After finishing an appointment, Shen Yan went alone to the research institute that evening.

Having informed Vice Dean Shao in advance, Vice Dean Shao, aware that Shen Yan was bringing over a third terminal illness project, had everyone in the lab stay back.

As soon as Shen Yan arrived, the lab staff excitedly gathered around, starting a discussion meeting.

The meeting continued until after ten o’clock before it ended; after saying goodbye to Vice Dean Shao and the others, Shen Yan stepped out while sending a message to Qi Si.

Just as she sent the message, she looked up and saw Shen Feng standing under the night light.

Although Shen Feng temporarily could no longer participate in the research, he was still a member of the institute and held a significant role.

Even with the incident involving Jian Yu, he was only suspended; his position was not affected in any way.

So he still had the freedom to come and go.

He had been waiting here for a long time.

As soon as he heard from people at the institute that Shen Yan was back, he rushed over.

Seeing Shen Feng looking haggard, Shen Yan felt not a hint of guilt.

After watching Shen Yan for a long time, Shen Feng spoke hoarsely, "Shen Yan, please let my mother go. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."

Shen Yan pursed her lips, looking at him without saying a word.

"No matter what you want, I will do my best to give it to you, as long as you let my mother go," Shen Feng pleaded.

A cold wind swept through, messing Shen Yan’s hair and partially obscuring her sight.

Jian Yu raised two good children; even now, they still firmly believed Jian Yu had done no wrong and were willing to make personal sacrifices for her.

"For the sake of other family members, would you do the same? Shen Feng."

Shen Feng looked at her, "If it’s necessary for me to do so, I will."

"Even for a family member you once disliked?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Feng immediately thought of his sister; he hesitated for a moment but still answered firmly, "Yes."

Shen Yan’s voice cooled, "You hesitated."
