Chapter 27: She Is Timid

Rong Qingqing understood and immediately let go, while Shen Jue walked away without turning back. "Daily task completed, life extension increased by 5 hours, host’s remaining life duration is 15.5 hours." When Shen Jue was going downstairs, he bumped into Shen Xingwei, who had just entered. Shen Xingwei wanted to see Rong Qingqing. Seeing Shen Jue coming downstairs, Shen Xingwei angrily stared at him, "Taking out your anger on a woman, what kind of man are you?" Guo Lan heard this and quietly scolded Shen Xingwei, "Rong Qingqing was also at fault last night." "What did she do wrong?" Shen Xingwei’s eyes were red with anger, "You all say Qingqing did it deliberately, but she’s the gentlest person. How could it be deliberate? Qingqing is timid; maybe she was just a bit scared in an unfamiliar place, so she wanted to find Shen Jue! After all..." Shen Xingwei gritted his teeth, "After all, Shen Jue is her fiancé now, and if Qingqing was scared alone, what was wrong with looking for Shen Jue?" Though it was already a fact, the thought that Rong Qingqing was now Shen Jue’s fiancée still left Shen Xingwei emotionally unsettled. But Shen Xingwei knew, it wasn’t Rong Qingqing’s fault, it was his own mistake. "She’s timid?" Shen Jue sneered, "Do you have some misunderstanding about your former fiancée?" Rong Qingqing timid? Is there anyone in this world who’s bold if she’s not? Rong Qingqing was undoubtedly the boldest woman Shen Jue had ever met, bar none. After speaking, Shen Jue headed straight for the gym next to the elevator. He needed to work out here every day to ensure he had enough arm strength to support his entire body, so as not to become someone who needed help even to get in and out of bed. Lin Bufan was already waiting in the gym, which was well soundproofed; once the door closed, those outside couldn’t hear inside, and those inside naturally couldn’t hear the outside noise. "Boss, the people we sent to monitor Rong Qingqing last night reported back. They said she checked into the Hyatt Hotel downtown alone after leaving Shen Manor and didn’t meet anyone. Seventh Uncle picked her up at 6:30 in the morning, she made him wait in the parking lot for an hour and a half, and she left only after having breakfast at the hotel." "On the way back, she asked Seventh Uncle to take her to a store specializing in imported home goods. She shopped alone for over half an hour, bought some daily necessities, and then returned directly to Shen Manor. We can confirm that from leaving Shen Manor to returning, Rong Qingqing did not contact any suspicious persons." Last night, as soon as Rong Qingqing left Shen Manor, Shen Jue’s people followed her car. From then until now, someone was secretly watching her, even while she slept in the hotel room. Not only were they closely monitoring Rong Qingqing’s every move, but also ensuring the safety of a woman leaving Shen Manor in the middle of the night. Shen Jue was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "As soon as she leaves the house, continue to have someone watch her." Outside, Shen Xingwei was worried about Rong Qingqing’s safety all night. Knowing she had been brought back, he couldn’t resist coming over to see her. Shen Xingwei insisted on seeing her, and Guo Lan couldn’t stop him, so she asked Nanny Zhao to go upstairs and inform Rong Qingqing. When Rong Qingqing heard that Shen Xingwei wanted to see her, she declined directly. "Nanny Zhao, I am now Shen Jue’s fiancée. Although it’s not taboo for a sister-in-law and brother-in-law to meet, my relationship with Shen Xingwei is not like the usual sister-in-law and brother-in-law. So, please convey to Shen Xingwei that we should not meet anymore in the future." There were countless excuses, but Rong Qingqing simply feared that too much contact would make Shen Xingwei notice something. After all, Shen Xingwei and Rong Qingqing were once deeply in love, and though others might not notice her change, Shen Xingwei might if they interacted too much. Rong Qingqing’s words left Nanny Zhao full of admiration, "Miss Qingqing is sensible." Nanny Zhao went downstairs happily, relayed Rong Qingqing’s words to Shen Xingwei, and then turned to praise Rong Qingqing to Guo Lan, "Madam, Miss Qingqing is very understanding."
