Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 335 - 218, Handcuff Me for Life, I Entrust to You (2 More Parts 2)
The lady was surprised: "Sir, the amount is substantial."
Shi Nian was also startled.
He nodded leisurely, "I know what I’m doing, just follow my instructions."
The lady hesitated quite a bit, made a phone call to the higher-ups, and then apologetically said that because the room was the resort’s signature, they don’t handle long-term rentals.
Tang Yanqing raised an eyebrow and smiled dominantly: "Send my check-in information to your superior and ask him to reconsider and call me back. Just tell him that I am determined to get this room, and nothing else is negotiable."
After saying that, he held Shi Nian tight and walked outside.
Shi Nian worriedly patted him: "Why do you need to do this? People will say you are bullying."
He raised his chin slightly: "In this matter, I do intend to bully."
Her heart quietly overflowed with sweetness, and she could only gently shake her head: "...Actually, it’s not necessary."
"It is." He held her hand tightly and lowered his eyes to seriously gaze into hers: "We may not come to this room again, but I absolutely won’t let anyone else touch it. Call it my cleanliness or domineering, whatever you like, I must do this this time."
Shi Nian wanted to persuade him but was silenced as he put his finger against her lips: "Shh... Don’t say ’no’ again."
Such a tone... Shi Nian involuntarily frowned, remembering Huangfu Huazhang using almost the same words.
After spending the night together, it was now noon, and only a few hours remained until the deadline he had given her.
.
She sat somewhat gloomily in his car; he didn’t rush to drive, resting his elbow on the steering wheel and turning to look at her.
"What’s wrong?" She suddenly seemed lost in thought, and he could see it.
Shi Nian lowered her head: "I want to see Xiong Jie."
He nodded, reached out, and pulled her hand. Instantly, a cold object was placed into her palm.
She opened her palm to see it was the shiny little key with the equally shiny chain attached.
He gazed at her: "The one thrown away last night was, of course, the handcuffs key. I would never deceive you; but this is a spare key from last time that I left with you. I attached the chain and kept it, and it came in handy this morning."
"From now on, my pair of handcuffs will have only this key, right in your palm."
She was slightly surprised and looked up at him.
He started to laugh, his gaze moist and hazy, "I’ve handcuffed myself to you... my Sleeping Beauty, I will be a prisoner exclusively to you for life, never escaping and never regretting."
Shi Nian was shocked beyond words, not knowing what to say.
He simply took the key out, placed it around her neck, fastened the clasp, and then lowered his head to place a kiss on the key. As his lips touched, his dark eyes lifted, his gaze locking her in tightly.
He gave her the key, but at this moment she distinctly felt that he had firmly locked her in with no escape route.
.
Shi Nian returned to the company, having finished talking with her boss, and Ye He sneaked over, sniffing the air.
Shi Nian, embarrassed, quickly patted her: "Are you a dog?!"
Ye He laughed softly: "Leader, you smell completely of female hormones, it’s basically a silent yet forceful announcement: I just loved passionately last night, intensely loved!"
Shi Nian was about to faint, hurriedly reaching out to cover Ye He’s mouth: "My little auntie, don’t talk nonsense!"
A while later, the two left the company and went to Xiong Jie’s home together.
Ye He continued scrutinizing Shi Nian in the cab: "Got back together with your brother-in-law?"
Shi Nian evasively avoided her gaze, only shaking her head: "We’ve already ended."
Ye He widened her eyes: "...Then with Mr. Tang, right?!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Shi Nian was shocked, turning to glare at Ye He. This assistant, sometimes she’s a bit muddled, yet sometimes she’s like a psychic!
Ye He, seeing this, pouted: "...I knew a day like this would come. An onlooker sees most clearly, Leader, from the first time I saw you two, his eyes have only ever been focused on you. When he’s not wearing sunglasses, he looks like he’s been starving for a long time. Now that you’ve completely separated from your brother-in-law, won’t he quickly feast?"
Shi Nian awkwardly glanced at the driver, hurriedly reaching out to cover Ye He’s mouth.
Ye He sighed sadly: "Leader, you’ve stolen my male idol."
Shi Nian felt guilty in her heart, lowered her head, and apologized: "...I’m sorry."
Ye He immediately smiled mischievously again: "See, you admitted defeat without a fight, didn’t you?!"
Shi Nian realized she had been tricked and turned to glare at her: "You’re good, you know how to set traps for me!"
Ye He stopped joking, seriously holding Shi Nian’s hand: "Leader, although my male idol is gone, it’s good that it’s you, I’m still happy. Leader, congratulations."
Shi Nian’s nose suddenly felt sore, and she reached out to hug Ye He.
She didn’t dare to admit it to others, not even to herself, but after last night, she really was, so happy.
.
Shi Nian and Ye He arrived at Xiong Jie’s house. Shi Nian thanked the doctor invited by Huangfu Huazhang and personally escorted him to the door. Along the way, she carefully inquired about Xiong Jie’s condition, especially the events of last night, and humbly asked for advice on which details to pay attention to while taking care of Xiong Jie.
Once the doctor had left, Shi Nian quietly pressed the record button on the recorder in her pocket.
She discreetly recorded everything the doctor said.
Back at Xiong Jie’s house, Ye He quietly pulled Shi Nian aside and said, "Boss, look at her house; you can’t find any family photos on display. I also checked her phone and there are no names marked as direct relatives in her contacts."
Shi Nian nodded: "I noticed that too."
Ye He was a bit hesitant: "We can’t reach her direct relatives; should we hand her over to the police?"
Shi Nian thought for a moment: "I’ll ask Mr. Guan to help find her relatives’ contact information. As for this period, I want to take care of her myself."
Ye He was somewhat puzzled: "Boss, why? She used to treat you like that, so why bother with her?"
Shi Nian looked up at Ye He: "She reminds me of Rosa."
"Oh?" Ye He was a little surprised: "What do you mean?"
Shi Nian gently shook her head: "I can’t explain it myself for now, but it’s a very strong intuition. Maybe through her, I can find a breakthrough in the Rosa Clown Case."
"Then what should we do about her current state?"
"I’ll help her find a psychologist."
After saying this, Shi Nian walked back to Xiong Jie, gently stroking her hair, and softly whispered, "Xiong Jie, we’re home now, don’t be afraid."
.
Even though Ye He didn’t understand Shi Nian’s thinking, she still loyally decided to stay with Shi Nian to take care of Xiong Jie.
Shi Nian got up and called Tang Yanxi, asking if he could help them get an urgent appointment with Huo Danru, saying she wanted to take a friend for trauma counseling.
Tang Yanxi agreed without hesitation, his voice carrying an apologetic tone: "Actually, I also want to apologize on behalf of my mom. Shi Nian, my mom testified for Mark; she wasn’t targeting you."
Shi Nian smiled: "Lawyer Tang, you’re too formal. Doctor Huo was just doing her duty as an expert, and she did nothing wrong. If I held a grudge, I wouldn’t have thought of Doctor Huo first."
Tang Yanxi finally relaxed, smiling: "Actually, Yanqing and I made a bet in court that if the prosecution won, Yanqing wanted me to persuade my mom to invite you and An Cheng for dinner."
"How could I possibly accept?" Shi Nian quickly refused: "Lawyer Tang, don’t listen to Mr. Tang, don’t take it seriously."
Tang Yanxi smiled profoundly: "...Shi Nian, I’m looking forward to that dinner as well."
Hearing this, Shi Nian paused, then her eyes glimmered with amusement, and she couldn’t help but laugh: "Then I’d be honored. Lawyer Tang, let me be the one to contact security."
Tang Yanxi on the other end smiled in relief. This Shi Nian, indeed intelligent and insightful, no wonder her brother was so enamored.
"Alright, it’s settled then. Thank you."
Shi Nian smiled: "We’re not in a rush for dinner, but the urgent appointment, please help us arrange it within the next day or two. You know how important it is to get trauma counseling as soon as possible."
Tang Yanxi, determined and efficient, temporarily ended the call and immediately contacted her mother.
Having grown up beside Shen Wan all these years, for Huo Danru, this mother, it was almost superficial, let alone asking anything of her all these years. Upon hearing that it was merely introducing a patient, even if it was a friend of Shi Nian, Huo Danru immediately agreed, rescheduling her original patients for the evening.
When Shi Nian received the confirmation, she also felt relieved.
Taking Xiong Jie to see the doctor tonight meant they didn’t have to face Huangfu Huazhang’s questions for the time being.
.
Shi Nian and Ye He brought Xiong Jie to Huo Danru’s office.
Meeting again after the court, Huo Danru felt somewhat awkward. Shi Nian was quick to step forward and bow, "Doctor Huo, I’m truly sorry to trouble you today. Thank you for taking the time to assist us."
Huo Danru was slightly surprised by Shi Nian’s generosity, nodding: "Don’t mention it. You are friends of both the Xiang Family and the Tang Family, so naturally, you’re also my juniors."
Shi Nian quickly said: "Then is it alright if I call you Auntie Huo? Would it be inappropriate for a junior to be so presumptuous?"
Shi Nian stood cutely under the light, looking innocent, no longer the tense person from the time she did marriage counseling with Xiang Yuanlai.
Huo Danru also raised an eyebrow in surprise: "You seem to have changed a bit, child. Could it be that your memory has returned somewhat?"
