The old lady was overjoyed and laughed, "Look at our Qiqi, how sensible she is, not like you, you rascal."
What sensible? She clearly hasn't given up hope, wanting me to accompany her back to the Shu Family.
Not only greedy but also a good actress, this woman really has some nerve!
Shu Qiqi set the table for the man, but didn't see any improvement in his mood. On the contrary, he became colder and colder. She thought: Now it's over, he's probably even less likely to accompany her back to the Shu Family.
Shu Qiqi felt extremely downhearted and didn't know what to do.
"Yichen, after dinner, you accompany Qiqi back to the Shu Family," the old lady suddenly said.
Shu Qiqi was stunned and looked up joyfully, gratefully at the old lady.
Her mood caught by Leng Yichen seemed to say: Since the old lady personally asked, I don't believe you won't agree.
He felt even angrier inside.
But in front of the old lady, Leng Yichen never showed his temper, and although his face looked rather unpleasant, he ultimately nodded.
Shu Qiqi stole a glance at him when she had a moment, the face that had been joyful a second ago now tinged with worry.
There was always a calm before the storm.
After dinner, the two of them left the house one after the other.
As soon as they got in the car, Leng Yichen leaned over and pressed Shu Qiqi against the car door, "Woman, have you ever thought about the consequences of threatening me?"
Shu Qiqi raised her hand to push him away, "I didn't threaten you, and I didn't know grandma would ask you to accompany me back."
The man was immovable like a mountain; her little strength couldn't shake him.
"Still talking back?" The man choked the woman's neck, and his other hand inexplicably brushed her lips.
As Shu Qiqi started to speak, her lips brushed the man's fingers, sending a tingling sensation up his arm, making Leng Yichen's eyes darken.
His fingers involuntarily pressed hard against her lips, turning them even redder.
Leng Yichen's hand around the woman's neck tightened slightly as he instinctively leaned closer.
"What…what are you doing?" Shu Qiqi couldn't hold back the pain from being choked and rebuked in a low voice.
Leng Yichen's eyes turned colder, his expression sour, "Shu Qiqi, only this once. If you dare to use grandma again, I'll let you know what it feels like to wish for death."
His grip loosened a bit, but he didn't completely let go of Shu Qiqi.
Shu Qiqi slapped his hand away, "I didn't use grandma, believe it or not."
This man was simply crazy, unpredictable, with a bad temper, and liked to get physical. Marrying him was truly her worst luck.
Upon arriving at the Shu Family.
Shu Changning personally opened the door and when he saw Leng Yichen behind Shu Qiqi, his face broke into a wide smile.
Shu Qiqi didn't care about that, "I'm going to see Tongtong."
Shu Changning didn't care where she wanted to go; he was focused on attending to Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichen watched the woman scamper upstairs, his gaze turning slightly somber. He really wanted to see what was so special about the Shu Family that made his grandmother insist on him marrying Shu Qiqi.
Shu Qiqi pushed open Tongtong's room door, "Tongtong?"
"Sis, did brother-in-law come?"
"He's downstairs. Are you alright? Did uncle hit you? What did he say to you?"
Upon hearing that Leng Yichen had arrived at the Shu Family, Shu Tongtong happily jumped up, "That's great, I need to hurry back to school while brother-in-law is still here, or else it'll be too late."
Shu Qiqi was puzzled, "Tongtong, don't leave yet, tell me what exactly is going on?"
"Sis, I'll explain after the competition. I have to go now, take care of yourself," Shu Tongtong slung her bag over her shoulder and dashed downstairs.
Shu Qiqi ran down the stairs but didn't see Tongtong anywhere.
She was about to head out.
"Stop right there." Shu Changning barked, holding her back.
