Wen Qing choked. She could have told Shang Yinghan the truth. She could have said that it was because of Shang Ke, and that she had done it on a whim.

But, when she met Shang Yinghan’s gaze, she felt that saying that would be dangerous.

“I just did it on a whim. I didn’t do it for anyone. This is my life. I’m not living for anyone else.” she answered gently, but her voice held more confidence than her eyes did.

“That’s good.” His tone was very calm.

Wen Qing looked at Shang Yinghan’s expression. She felt that she must be overthinking it.

At this moment, she was hesitating about asking him if she could go home now. Although she knew nothing about his project, it seemed like he was not ready to go back yet. He did not have to come here personally. Those people were scared half to death to see him here. It was like seeing an emperor walking around in plain clothes.

She was thinking about how to broach the subject when Chen Jian suddenly said, “Mr. Shang, Young Master Ke is over there.”

Shang Yinghan glanced at him. Then, he told Chen Jian, “Go get Shang Ke. Tell him that Wen Qing is here.”

“Alright, Mr. Shang.” Chen Jian nodded.

Wen Qing slowly raised her head. She looked like she had just been struck by lightning.

Shang Yinghan noticed her reaction and asked in a worried tone, “What’s wrong?”

What’s wrong?

Wen Qing guessed that the reason Shang Yinghan had not mentioned their one-night stand was that he wanted to do so in front of Shang Ke!

‘Was he just biding his time for a chance like this?’

‘F*ck!’

‘This man …’

Just as Wen Qing was silently cursing Shang Yinghan, she heard Shang Ke’s voice. She turned to see Shang Ke standing formally opposite Shang Yinghan.

Shang Ke had obviously seen her, but he paid her no attention.

She remembered that he nodded to her earlier. Now he was treating her like a stranger.

Wen Qing was not the sort of girl who would throw herself at him and make him feel disgusted. So, she obediently stayed by Shang Yinghan’s side, waiting for the torture that she was about to face.

However, Shang Yinghan did not intend for her to stay by his side. He ordered Chen Jian to escort her away.

‘Can I refuse?’

Wen Qing’s panic rose.

She cursed Shang Yinghan silently. He was playing dirty!

From a distance, Wen Qing could not hear what they were talking about. He only saw that the usually frivolous Shang Ke was now standing obediently in front of Shang Yinghan. Shang Yinghan was two centimeters taller than Shang Ke. Shang Yinghan exuded the charm of a mature man, while Shang Ke still radiated youth. Wen Qing’s gaze unconsciously fell on Shang Yinghan.

She did not know what Shang Yinghan was saying, but Shang Ke looked a little impatient. It was not too obvious.

However, it was obvious that Shang Ke was also afraid of the domineering Shang Yinghan. This man could practically destroy everyone in the Shang family if he wanted to.

…

Wen Qing waited for a few minutes. During this time, Chen Jian just stood quietly beside her.

She felt tired after standing for so long and wanted to squat down. At this time, Chen Jian called, “Ms. Wen Qing, Young Master Ke is here.”

As soon as Wen Qing heard that, she suddenly stood up straight. She turned around and saw Shang Ke coming toward her with a tense expression. Wen Qing had a bad feeling.

At the thought of Shang Yinghan mentioning what happened at the Undermoon Hotel, Wen Qing’s expression became embarrassed. She thought Shang Ke would ridicule her, but he unexpectedly questioned her. His voice was deep. “Wen Qing, is this really necessary?”

Wen Qing was confused.
