As it turned out, Qi Shifeng arrived before the insurance company staff.
Although he was the husband of his childhood sweetheart, the two of them had basically never had any contact.
There was almost no overlap in the businesses of their two families. They were neither in a competitive relationship nor did they ever cooperate.
Moreover, Qi Shifeng rarely attended gatherings, and after Shen Yan returned to the country, he had been busy enjoying his playboy life.
When Qi Shifeng arrived, there was still a cigarette between his fingers. He subconsciously glanced at his watch.
It was almost midnight. He left his wife at home and came to find his rumored lover?
This was simply off the charts crazy.
When Qi Shifeng came up to them, he also gave Shen Yan a casual look as a greeting.
Then he went to check on Xie Yu.
Although there were no intimate gestures, he immediately made sure if she was injured.
"You've been drinking? Weren't you feeling unwell?"
Even though it was a question, his tone wasn't harsh.
Xie Yu's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "I had a business dinner. It's okay. I can go to the hospital by myself. Why did you come? Did I disrupt your work?"
Shen Yan couldn't stand it anymore. He flicked away his cigarette butt and spat.
This woman really had a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
It was clearly she who called her assistant and hinted for the assistant to contact Qi Shifeng.
She didn't mention at all that it was just a minor fender - bender. She only said that she had been in a car accident.
Finally, she managed to lure him here, and then she pretended to be tough.
It was really disgusting.
As a playboy, he had met all kinds of women and had seen them use all sorts of tricks to outshine each other.
He hadn't been that disgusted before, but for some reason, this Xie Yu really annoyed him.
After he called the butler and left first, when he got into the car, he suddenly realized why he was so irritable.
Could Xu Tingyu, that naive girl, compete with this scheming bitch?
This question bothered him all night, which was why he showed up here early in the morning.
She had been living here recently. It had taken him all night and all the means he could use to find out.
As a result, this naive girl actually said that her husband's affairs outside didn't count as cheating?
He was almost laughing out of anger.
He had been spoiled and had a rather bad temper.
If she weren't such a delicate girl who would cry even after a little fall, he might have punched her and taken a look at what was inside her head.
"Do you know that zombies won't even eat love - struck brains. They think it's too disgusting."
He glared at her gritted his teeth, his tone indescribably malicious.
Xu Tingyu didn't know why this young master was unhappy again, but she still changed the subject. "Where did you buy this cake? Didn't that cake shop close a long time ago?"
She had gone looking for it later, but that cake shop had closed when she was in college.
Seeing her bright eyes and his complexion improving a bit, Shen Yan said proudly, "As long as I want something, I can get it."
After saying that, as if thinking of something, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Got it, got it, Young Master Shen. You can do anything."
Xu Tingyu laughed. Sure enough, this guy was still as conceited as ever.
However, this was just like him when he was a kid. Somehow, it brought the two of them closer.
She continued eating the cake and mentioned Chen Chunyao. "Yaoyao also likes this. Give me the address. I'll buy some for her next time."
Chen Chunyao had also grown up with them. However, when they were kids, Chen Chunyao and Shen Yan had an even worse relationship.
Because Chen Chunyao bluntly called him "shorty", and the two of them even had a fight because of it.
Later, when she got married and Shen Yan didn't show up, Chen Chunyao even sent him a message scolding him for being an ungrateful bastard.
But he didn't reply.
When Xu Tingyu mentioned Chen Chunyao at this moment, Shen Yan snorted.
"I buy you a cake, and instead of thanking me, you're busy trying to please that brat, huh?"
Well, after all these years, he still had a grudge.
But Xu Tingyu genuinely laughed.
She felt as if she had returned to the carefree days of her youth.
In the summer, the sunlight filtered through the treetops. The gentle breeze was filled with the fresh fragrance of fruits.
Chen Chunyao and Shen Yan climbed up the tree to pick fresh fruits for her.
She stood under the tree, lifting up the hem of her skirt to catch them.
Later, the three of them sat under the tree, their faces covered in fruit juice.
However, after she got home, she was punished to stand for an hour.
Because she had no manners and dared to lift up the hem of her skirt, especially when there were boys around. It was simply nonsense.
She wanted to defend herself. She was wearing leggings, and the skirt was so long. What was the big deal?
But she knew Zhang Qiu's personality well and knew that the more she explained, the more trouble she would get into, so she didn't say anything.
Recalling this, she said to Shen Yan with a smile, "I got punished a lot because of you when I was a kid. I was so annoyed with you back then."
She was so annoyed with him but couldn't get rid of him.
After all, they lived next door to each other and saw each other every day.
Moreover, besides Chen Chunyao and Shen Yan, she didn't have any other playmates of the same age.
So they quarreled every day but still played together.
"You're one to talk. I was so annoyed with you. I was a little tyrant at home, but every time you cried, I would get beaten when I got home."
Shen Yan didn't know what he was thinking about. Although he was complaining, the smile on his face was obvious.
Xu Tingyu then asked about his family.
"How are your uncles, aunts, elder brothers and sisters - in - law?"
Back then, Shen Yan's family had all liked her very much.
Because she was very beautiful when she was a kid. Standing with Shen Yan, people would always joke that they were a perfect match.
Moreover, there were no daughters in the Shen family, so they doted on her very much.
Shen Yan answered one by one, "My parents are doing well. They've retired. They've given the company to my eldest and second brothers and gone traveling around the world."
"My eldest and second brothers are both married with children. Each of them has a son. They make such a ruckus at home every day. They're even more annoying than I was when I was a kid."
He didn't mention his third brother, and Xu Tingyu also tactfully didn't bring it up.
The two of them chatted for a while longer. Xu Tingyu had already eaten half of the cake and didn't dare to eat the other half.
After all, she was in the late stage of pregnancy, so she had to pay attention to her diet. She could only eat cakes in moderation.
Shen Yan was still sitting across from her, his eyebrows relaxed, sitting in a slouchy position.
"Xu Tingyu, you're much quieter than when you were a kid. What, have you changed as you've grown up?"
His beautiful peach - blossom eyes were fixed on her face. His thick black eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids.
If she didn't know that he had always had this affectionate look towards everyone since he was a kid, she might have thought that he had feelings for her.
But his peach - blossom eyes were also a bit nearsighted, and he refused to wear glasses. He even looked at passing dogs affectionately.
Meeting his gaze, she said frankly, "Because people change, Shen Yan. I'm not the person I used to be, and I can never go back to the past."
