Chapter 6: Having Improper Thoughts About Him

Yan Changsheng only remembered the vicious look on Nan Sheng's face when she slapped Shen Qinghe, and he pushed Nan Sheng aside.

Nan Sheng once again blocked his path, "Changsheng, believe me, it was her who started it..."

"She was drunk, not in her right mind, even if she offended you, you shouldn't have hit a drunk so hard. Qinghe has been pampered by our Master since she was a child, no one has ever slapped her, you are the first!!" Yan Changsheng's voice grew louder, ending in a roar.

When had Nan Sheng ever seen him lose his composure like this?

"So, you're upset for her, aren't you?!" Nan Sheng's tears fell before she spoke, unable to believe that Yan Changsheng was defending Shen Qinghe, "You care about her?!"

Yan Changsheng was annoyed and exasperated, "It was clearly you who hit her, she was slapped by you for no reason at all, and you still think you are in the right?"

"Do you know that Shen Qinghe was pretending to be drunk?!" Nan Sheng couldn't bear it any longer, her grief and indignation were extreme.

This man who professed to love her would rather believe Shen Qinghe instead of her?

Yan Changsheng didn't believe a word Nan Sheng said; he pushed her aside, but she blocked his way again, crying incessantly, "I'm telling the truth, she really was pretending to be drunk, don't let her deceive you..."

Yan Changsheng found it laughable, his gaze full of disappointment when he looked at Nan Sheng, "I know Qinghe, she has a low tolerance for alcohol, two drinks and she's drunk. She had several drinks tonight, how could she be pretending?"

He didn't want to get entangled with Nan Sheng anymore and left by Sword Control.

Only Nan Sheng was left standing there, clenching her fists, with a deep sense of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

She had underestimated Shen Qinghe, thinking her to be no threat, only to be outmaneuvered by Shen Qinghe that evening, leaving her in such a passive situation.

She never expected that Yan Changsheng would rather believe Shen Qinghe than her.

This showed that Yan Changsheng's love for her wasn't deep enough; she needed to find a way to make Yan Changsheng love her more, and to ignite his possessiveness over her.

Xiao Chen had also piqued her interest.

As long as she got close to Xiao Chen, wouldn't Yan Changsheng become jealous and bow his head to her?

Inside the Simple Residence Courtyard, Shen Qinghe and Xiao Chen both heard the confrontation between Yan Changsheng and Nan Sheng.

Only after the two of them had left did Xiao Chen say, "If Nan Sheng bullies you again in the future, tell Big Senior Brother, and he will support you."

Shen Qinghe thought about Nan Sheng's bashful way of speaking to men and suddenly found this tactic very effective.

She imitated Nan Sheng, with lowered eyelids, "Big Senior Brother is really nice. If I encounter any difficulties in the future, I'll ask Big Senior Brother for help; please don't find me foolish."

Xiao Chen touched her head, looking at the swelling on her face, the more he saw it, the more bothersome it became.

He took a box of ointment from his Qiankun Bag, intending to help her apply it.

Shen Qinghe felt that such an action was too intimate and wanted to do it herself, but he stopped her, "Don't move!"

She had no choice but to look up, letting Xiao Chen dab and smear on her face.

Xiao Chen looked at her pale lips and found them increasingly annoying to look at.

"Next time someone hits you, you must remember to fight back, don't just foolishly take a beating without knowing how to retaliate. You must be tired too after tonight, get some rest early, I'll stay here to watch over you."

Xiao Chen's words astonished Shen Qinghe, and for a moment she forgot to play the fragile flower, quickly protesting, "No, that won't do; if Big Senior Brother really stays in the Simple Residence Courtyard, it will ruin my reputation!"

She didn't want to become the imagined rival of Xiao Chen's fans, nor could she let Shen Zhiyao think there was something illicit between her and Xiao Chen.

"It doesn't matter; my good reputation isn't important," Xiao Chen felt Shen Qinghe was overly considerate of him.

Shen Qinghe secretly scoffed; she didn't care about his reputation at all. After all, he was destined to turn evil in the future, and she was worried about her own reputation.

"I can't sleep with Big Senior Brother here, please, I beg you," Shen Qinghe pleaded with Xiao Chen, bowing.

Watching the girl's naive and adorable appearance as she bowed, Xiao Chen's gaze became fixed.

Only now did he realize his attention towards Shen Qinghe was excessive. If Yan Changsheng hadn't appeared in time, he would have already stolen a kiss from her.

When had he ever harbored desire for a woman? Yet tonight, he felt somewhat out of control, which was not a good sign.

In an instant, he reverted to his usual gentle and distant demeanor: "Then you should rest early."

Not waiting for Shen Qinghe to speak again, he walked away without looking back.

Shen Qinghe was secretly amazed, pondering how quickly Xiao Chen's demeanor could change. One moment he was so caring towards her, and the next he became aloof and indifferent, a classic two-faced person.

After a busy night and enduring a slap, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, ready to sit and meditate when she heard footsteps approaching.

She immediately sat up straight and let her shoulders slump when she saw that the visitor was Shen Zhiyao: "Elder sister, it's you."

"Disappointed to see me?" Shen Zhiyao teased, pinching Shen Qinghe's chin, clicking her tongue, "Was it Nan Sheng, that little wretch, who hit you?"

"She didn't get any advantage either," Shen Qinghe swatted away her immodest hand and pulled her to sit down, "From now on, elder sister should stop provoking Nan Sheng; I'll deal with her. Also, can you stop liking Xiao Chen in the future?"

"If you like Big Senior Brother, I don't mind making way for you, but I can't let Nan Sheng have him!" Shen Zhiyao's bright eyes darkened with a touch of malice, "Second Senior Brother hurt father to protect Nan Sheng and nearly cost you your life. Now she wants to snatch Big Senior Brother from us, I will not stand down from her!"

Shen Qinghe frowned, trying to persuade Shen Zhiyao for an hour, but her stubborn sister still insisted on confronting Nan Sheng to the end.

In the end, Shen Qinghe had to accept her fate and decided to gradually persuade Shen Zhiyao in the future.

After Shen Zhiyao left, Shen Qinghe thought she could finally meditate, but another uninvited guest arrived, none other than Dongfang Wuya.

Shen Qinghe always remembered one thing, Dongfang Wuya was not only one of the male leads but also the savior of her and her father.

In Dongfang Wuya's presence, her smile was especially sincere.

Seeing Shen Qinghe's radiant smile, Dongfang Wuya hesitated in his steps.

"Benefactor, please have a seat," Shen Qinghe warmly poured a cup of cold tea and handed it to Dongfang Wuya.

But her movement was too abrupt, and her fingertips accidentally brushed the palm of Dongfang Wuya.

Dongfang Wuya looked at his palm that the girl's fingertips had lightly grazed and pondered that the little lady was also fascinated by his beauty, not missing any opportunity to lure him.

Seeing her beaming smile, he made a quick decision: "Shen Qinghe, stand six feet away from this lord!"

Shen Qinghe immediately stepped back, stopping six feet away, very obedient and compliant.

Dongfang Wuya's eyes complexly watched the polite and sensible girl, pondering that this girl was indeed saved by him; it was only natural for her to have improper thoughts about him and to think of offering herself to him.

Ha ha, this time the male lead is the type who's his own adversary.
