Qiao Shinian felt that it was not only a trouble, but also a hidden danger.

"Song Qingchuan, I am very grateful to you for helping me, but if it was just because of the little injustice I suffered, the He family would not have to pay such a heavy price." Qiao Shinian said.

In this way, she not only owed Song Qingchuan a favor, but also created a hidden danger for the Qiao family.

Song Qingchuan said in a calm voice, "Shi Nian, the He family deserves what they get. There is no need to sympathize with them. Sometimes being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself."

Qiao Shinian understood this principle.

"Song Qingchuan, I don't sympathize with them. I'm just afraid of bringing trouble to the Qiao family."

Qiao Shinian said truthfully, "The He family may not dare to provoke you, but they will blame the Qiao family for their anger."

"Because of your presence in the cafe yesterday, my aunt has already turned the tables on Mrs. He. As long as Mrs. He stops making trouble, I think the matter will be over."

"Although this incident you helped me with was very satisfying, it also reignited the hatred. I don't want the Qiao family to get into trouble."

Hearing this, Song Qingchuan looked at Qiao Shinian. Her expression was calm, and she was more worried about the Qiao family than grateful.

Song Qingchuan said calmly, "Don't worry. Mr. He is a smart man. He will discipline his family well. In the future, when he sees you and the Qiao family, he will just take a detour."

Qiao Shinian also looked at Song Qingchuan. He had a handsome appearance, but his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses lacked his usual gentlemanly elegance and seemed to have a hint of... ruthlessness?

He felt ruthless, as if he would show no mercy if the He family dared to mess around.

Qiao Shinian couldn't help but think of what Mo Xiuyuan and Huo Yanci had told her about Song Qingchuan's ruthless methods.

Mo Xiuyuan even said that he had always kept his distance from Song Qingchuan because he couldn't stand some of his ways of doing things.

Qiao Shinian only knew these things before, but had never seen them with his own eyes.

Today, Qiao Shinian finally witnessed Song Qingchuan's skills.

It's really cold.

Especially when Song Qingchuan warned Mrs. He, his tone was so nonchalant, but his words were chilling.

Not to mention Mrs. He, even Qiao Shinian felt a little frightened.

If Mr. C is Song Qingchuan, then he is indeed a very difficult enemy to deal with.

"Shi Nian, you haven't eaten yet, I——"

Before he could even utter the word "please", Huo Yanci had already hurried over from the car in front.

Huo Yanci looked concerned. He walked straight to Qiao Shinian, held her hand and asked her if anything was wrong.

Song Qingchuan looked at Huo Yanci holding Qiao Shinian's hand calmly, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Huo, Shinian is fine, and the matter has been resolved."

"Why are you here?" Huo Yanci asked with a frown.

Song Qingchuan answered, "I originally wanted to invite Shi Nian to dinner, but I found that the mother and son of the He family were pestering Shi Nian."

"Mr. Song, why are you always there whenever Qiao Shinian encounters something?" Huo Yanci said in a bad tone.

Song Qingchuan smiled and said, "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of something. Maybe I should ask Mr. Huo, why are you not around every time Shi Nian encounters an accident?"

This rhetorical question was quite cunning, and Huo Yanci's face changed immediately. Song Qingchuan was indirectly saying that he was being hindsighted!

But Huo Yanci couldn't come up with any effective response, because there were many times when Qiao Shinian had something to do and he really didn't show up in time.

He failed to protect Qiao Shinian, which gave Song Qingchuan the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

How could Qiao Shinian not see Huo Yanci's embarrassment and regret?

But Qiao Shinian felt that this had nothing to do with Huo Yanci.

"Huo Yanci has no obligation to help me," Qiao Shinian said, "Song Qingchuan, I won't eat. Thank you for today. I'll leave first."

Mrs. He made such a big noise just now, and they were at the entrance of the building. Many people were watching the fun, and some were taking pictures with their cell phones.

Qiao Shinian was not only trying to help Huo Yanci out, she also really didn't want to stay here and be stared at.

After hearing this, Song Qingchuan wanted to fight for it, "Shi Nian, Manman said that you were busy all afternoon and didn't eat much. You must be very hungry now. Eat something before going back?"

Qiao Shinian wanted to discuss Li Shuyan's matter with Huo Yanci, so she was naturally in no mood to have dinner with Song Qingchuan. She shook her head and said, "Let's do it another day."

Seeing this, Song Qingchuan did not insist any more.

Qiao Shinian glanced at Huo Yanci, who looked depressed but speechless, ignored him, and got back into his car.

Before the driver started the car, the rear door was opened and the tall Huo Yanci got in.

Qiao Shinian was too hungry and didn't have the energy to talk to Huo Yanci, so she leaned against the car window to rest.

Huo Yanci took out a small box of chocolates from his pocket and said, "Here you go."

Qiao Shinian took it and said, "You never eat chocolate, so why..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiao Shinian reacted and glanced at Huo Yanci. There was a hint of light in his dark eyes.

"The chocolate is for you. Aunt Wang said you have low blood sugar, so I thought I'd keep some on hand in case of emergency."

"I indeed never eat chocolate, Nian Nian, do you remember?" Huo Yanci asked.

Qiao Shinian ate a piece of chocolate and answered Huo Yanci indifferently.

"Some habits are ingrained in us. I used to know everything about your preferences and your things. When I saw the chocolate, I asked about it reflexively. There was no other meaning."

Huo Yanci's face turned gloomy again.

After a while, Huo Yanci spoke in a deep voice, "Niannian, I was really bad to you in the past, and I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a husband. Don't blame me for wanting a divorce, it's all my fault. I apologize to you for what I did in the past."

Huo Yanci had made a formal apology before, and hearing it again now, Qiao Shinian still felt a little painful deep in his heart.

Qiao Shinian suppressed all of it. "I was wrong before. I knew you didn't like me, but I still insisted on marrying you. I also lived without a self in the marriage. I pestered you all day and caused trouble for you. If it were me, I wouldn't like that kind of partner either."

"It's not Nian Nian. I have liked you for a long time, but I didn't realize it at that time." Huo Yanci said anxiously.

They had discussed this topic a long time ago.

When Qiao Shinian first heard the news, he was very sad and angry. He questioned Huo Yanci and even said that he would never see him again.

Perhaps now that the anger and resentment had passed, Qiao Shinian no longer had much emotion after listening to it.

"Let's stop talking about meaningless things and talk about business."

Qiao Shinian told Huo Yanci the news from the company, "I still feel something is wrong. Li Shuyan must have a purpose."

Although Huo Yanci still wanted to talk to Qiao Shinian about the past, because Lu Chennan said that Qiao Shinian could only get some hope if he let go of the past.

The way to make people feel relieved is to apologize sincerely and make corrections sincerely. Now that Qiao Shinian is not resistant to him, Huo Yanci thinks it is a good opportunity.

But Qiao Shinian didn't want to talk to him about marriage and love at all. She just treated him as a partner.
