“Miss Shu,” the men in black suddenly shouted in unison, their tone respectful and deferential, “please get in the car.”
It was late at night in a deserted old neighborhood. A group of men in black stood in the darkness, inviting a frail and petite woman to get into the car. Was this a moral decline or a matter of humanity... cough, sorry, I digress...
Shu Ran was intimidated by their imposing presence, still dazed and squatting in place. Only then did she slowly manage to stand up, supporting herself on her weakened legs. Her expression was one of surprise and confusion as she timidly asked, “Who are you?”
The men in black didn’t say a word; they simply stepped aside in unison to make way for a Black Audi parked in the shadows.
Their stance was firm, leaving Shu Ran with no choice but to tightly clutch the wooden box in her arms and slowly approach.
As she reached the front of the Black Audi, Shu Ran glanced through the glass and saw someone sitting in the passenger seat—someone she had met once at the hospital.
Qin Xian’s subordinate, Chen Jin.
The men in black opened the rear door for her, and Shu Ran sat down with a bewildered expression.
From the moment she got into the car, Shu Ran didn’t dare to move, sitting stiffly in the Back Seat.
No one spoke inside the car; they remained silent.
The atmosphere was quietly oppressive, with only the faint sound of cars rushing by outside creating a slight disturbance.
Shu Ran pretended to casually glance at the people in the front seat. They were focused intently on the road ahead, seemingly oblivious to her presence.
Only then did Shu Ran relax her posture slightly, quietly reaching into her bag to take out her phone and send a WeChat message to Qin Xian.
She clutched her phone, waiting for his reply, her gaze fixed on the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window, her anxious expression reflected in the glass.
How could she not be nervous? The last time Qin Xian was unconscious, their furious glares seemed like they wanted to swallow her whole, and that memory was still vivid in her mind.
As a result, now when she saw someone in a black suit and sunglasses, she instinctively took three steps back.
So today, with Qin Xian absent, she still felt fear when she saw them.
Yet her phone remained frozen, not a single notification or message coming through.
Chen Jin had been quietly observing her since the moment she took out her phone, watching this future Future Lady of the Qin Family.
In fact, that incident at the hospital was not the first time he had seen her. He had already seen her in the photos scattered on the floor after Qin Shao had thrown a fit last time.
Even earlier than that, it was a few years ago.
When Qin Shao had just returned to take over the Qin Family, facing internal strife and external threats, everything awaited his orders and decisions. One mistake could lead to the downfall of the entire Qin Family, leaving no chance for recovery; it was his most difficult time.
That was when he killed for the first time—decisively and ruthlessly, a bullet straight to the forehead, blood gushing out. He was so cold-blooded that he didn't even blink, wiped his hands clean, and turned to leave.
But that night, he didn't eat a single bite or do anything at all. Alone, he stripped away all emotions and sat quietly on the sofa, fiddling with a photograph, staring at it repeatedly throughout the night.
Chen Jin waited at the door all night until the next morning when he knocked but received no response. Bursting in, he discovered that Qin Shao had fainted from a stomach ailment in his room, clutching a photograph tightly in his hand.
The person in the photo was sitting in the Back Seat at that moment.
With Red Lips and White Teeth, and Water-Cutting Eyes.
She did not possess stunning beauty, but instead had a fresh and serene aura.
At this moment, her face showed anxiety and restlessness, as if she was waiting for something.
She was too innocent and too fragile.
Chen Jinning thought for a moment, ultimately unwilling to look at her inexplicably fearful expression. He turned his head and seriously comforted her, explaining, "Miss Shu, there is no need to panic. Qin Shao sent me to pick you up."
Shu Ran looked up helplessly and asked, "Where are we going?"
"To the Qin Residence. Qin Shao is waiting for you."
Shu Ran did not say anything further and quietly gazed out the window.
Thus, after a long wait, the car finally came to a steady stop at the entrance of the Qin Residence.
After getting out of the car, before she could catch her breath, she was taken directly to the same room as last time.
She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought.
The servants in the garden downstairs walked back and forth, and cars came and went, creating a bustling scene.
Only she stood here, alone and lonely.
She did not know why Qin Xian had brought her here, nor did she know where he was.
She did not ask.
She did not dare to ask.
With a "thud," the door was opened from the outside.
Shu Ran turned around in response, only to fall into an extremely warm embrace.
Qin Xian held her tightly, his delicate chin resting on her soft hair. His fingertips gently lifted the ends of her hair, twisting it in his hand and caressing it tenderly.
"Qin Xian..." Shu Ran felt somewhat confused and was about to struggle...
But Qin Xian did not give her the chance; he pulled her back against his chest, holding her tightly in his embrace.
"Don't speak, just be good..."
His tone was gentle, but his actions were forceful.
The style of Qin Xian.
However, this move was very effective against Shu Ran. She indeed dared not move again and obediently nestled in his embrace.
Time felt long, as if a century had passed. The warmth in his arms tightly wrapped around her, making her forget the confusion and loneliness of the entire day.
She did not know when it started, but she had developed an inexplicable dependence on him.
In the past, when she was sad or scared, she would silently endure it by herself. But later, for some reason, when she felt helpless, she would think of the name Qin Xian.
It was as if a crack had been opened in her impenetrable heart, allowing him to slowly seep in.
“I heard from Chen Jin that you are very scared?” he suddenly spoke softly, his fingertips gently and slowly stroking her hair, coaxing her to let go of her resistance.
“Mm.” Shu Ran answered honestly. She was indeed afraid of such a situation, which came out of nowhere and left her anxious in the unknown without saying anything.
“I understand.” Even though she hadn’t said a word, he seemed to know what was on her mind.
She tilted her head up and saw his exquisitely beautiful face illuminated by the moonlight, appearing extremely gentle. For a moment, she was lost in thought, staring at him foolishly.
But just like that, in an instant, she regained her senses. It was as if she suddenly realized her own awkwardness, and she smiled shyly.
