Qin Zhen tried hard to convince himself that if it weren’t for Shen Qingyue, he would not have parted ways with Wei Jiu’er, and it was only natural for Wei Jiu’er to feel resentful. Compared to what Shen Qingyue did, Wei Jiu’er was just a bystander, and he should not be bothered by it.

However, no matter how hard he tried to persuade himself, he found it difficult to trust Wei Jiu’er as he did before. Even when he received a call from her just now, he could not help but wonder if she was acting in a calculated manner. After all, it was not the first time, right?

Wei Jiu’er leaned against his embrace and shook her head gently. “I was wrong last time. I promise you that I won’t hide anything from you again. From now on, no matter what happens or what I see or hear, I will tell you. Please don’t ignore me, okay?”

Listening to Wei Jiu’er’s pleading voice, Qin Zhen remained silent for a long while and finally responded with a soft “Hmm.” “I’ll take you home.”

Wei Jiu’er smiled. “Okay.”

When Shen Qingyue woke up again, it was already midnight. She felt the familiar scent of a man and sat up to look at him.

Chi Ming was also looking at her, his gaze as deep as ink.

As their eyes met, Shen Qingyue felt a sudden warmth in her vision and quickly looked away. “Did I… sleep leaning on you? And for so long?” Chi Ming replied, “Yes.”

“Sorry, your shoulder must be numb…” Shen Qingyue apologized.

“It’s alright,” Chi Ming reassured her.

“…Aren’t you going back?” Shen Qingyue asked.

“I’m here to accompany you,” Chi Ming replied.

“You should go back. There’s nothing important here, and I can handle it myself.” She didn’t want to trouble him any further.

“I need to supervise you taking your medicine,” Chi Ming insisted.

“I can take it myself,” Shen Qingyue replied.

Chi Ming continued, “And you’re missing a pillow.”

“…I don’t feel like sleeping anymore,” Shen Qingyue said.

Chi Ming didn’t give up. “What if you can’t find water later?”

Shen Qingyue sensed his teasing tone and decided not to say anything more. She felt that if she continued to ask, he would come up with a hundred reasons to refuse her. This man was always inexplicably persistent. Even if she found reasons he couldn’t refuse, he wouldn’t leave in the end. She lowered her head and asked a question that had been troubling her for a long time, “Why are you so good to me?”

Her voice was soft, more like a soliloquy than a question. Could someone really like another person to this extent? Would he regret it, just like she regretted her feelings for Qin Zhen…

Chi Ming did not answer, or rather, she already knew his answer very well. It was just that she lacked confidence. The hurt Qin Zhen caused her was immense, and even though she had managed to let go of him now, she could not let go of the past hurt. She seemed strong on the outside, but she had curled herself up in a protective shell, unwilling to accept anyone’s kindness. However, in the days to come, he would make her believe that he sincerely cared for her, and he would show her that he would never bring her any harm. She deserved the best this world had to offer.

Shen Jun’s recovery was going well, and he was transferred to a regular ward the next afternoon.

Seeing that Shen Jun’s condition had stabilized, Chi Ming finally took his leave.

Shen Qingyue continued to stay by Shen Jun’s side. In the evening, she finally received the news from Yu Zhuang. The evidence had been verified, and it was all authentic. Moreover, the source of the drugs was illegal.

Receiving the evidence, Shen Qingyue returned to Shen Jun’s bedside, looking at his recovering appearance, she hesitated about whether to strike back at this moment. Could Shen Jun really be indifferent? She wanted to discuss it with her grandfather, but she could not bring herself to speak about it. The doctor had warned her not to stress him.

Shen Jun valued blood relations greatly, especially after her parents’ death, he trusted the Shen family even more, which was why he allowed the Shen family to infiltrate the entire conglomerate.

But what kind of person was Shen Jun? He saw that Shen Qingyue had something on her mind and directly asked, “Do you have something to say?”

His body had not fully recovered yet, and his tone was weak. Shen Qingyue was taken aback and could not bring herself to speak. She shook her head,

“1Notmng.’

However, Shen Jun did not believe her. “Have you found the person who did this to me? Is it because they are someone close to me?”

Shen Qingyue bit her lip and remained silent.

Shen Jun let out a heavy sigh. “Is it related to Shen Da and the others?”

“How did you know…” Shen Qingyue lowered her head..
