"Did your father offend someone in the past?" Zhou Liwen has now openly put the mystery of the Shen family on the table for discussion. Shen Qin does not find it abrupt, as if this is a natural thing.

Mr. Shen was kind and well-mannered, a true Confucian businessman. Although most employees hated their boss, Mr. Shen had a good reputation. Besides, a small business like theirs couldn't stand in the way of others, so who could they offend?

"What about you? Have you offended anyone?" Zhou Liwen approached the question from another angle.

Shen Qin recalled the moment when the incident occurred. During that period of time, if she had offended anyone, it would only be...

Impossible! He threw the name that suddenly came to his mind out of his mind. No, absolutely impossible!

"Are you thinking of someone?"

Shen Qin was inexplicably irritated and didn't want to continue this topic. The night was dark and the coffee shop was almost empty.

"It's getting late. You should go back and rest. You have to go to work tomorrow." He politely ordered her to leave.

He and Zhou Liwen rarely met outside of the house; there was no need, and they weren't close friends. More often than not, Zhou Liwen would come to see him, so a coffee shop was the perfect place to meet.

Shen Qin didn't want her order to leave to be too blunt, so she modified it a little, "I'll get you a piece of the new cake in the store. You can go back and try it and give me some suggestions." I'll give you a piece of the unsold small cake. Go away quickly.

"Okay!" Zhou Liwen seemed very happy, rubbing his hands and waiting for the free cake.

Shen Qin carefully took out a piece with a pair of tongs and put it into an exquisite small box. He gently placed the small box on the table and made a gesture of invitation. He was so polite and smooth in seeing off guests.

Zhou Liwen was not in a hurry to get up. He looked left and right, as if he was really appreciating the exquisite little gift.

Shen Qin was about to clean up the front desk. When she turned around, her eyes swept across the transparent glass, and she slipped and almost did a backflip on the spot.

There was a face stuck to the glass, and a pair of sinister eyes stared straight at him through the glass, scaring him so much that he almost had a heart attack.

The face on the glass quickly moved away, and a tall humanoid figure pushed the door and rushed in. No one else could appear in such a strange and domineering way except our President Cang.

"Why are you putting that on? Are you trying to scare people to death?" Shen Qin covered his chest. Watching a horror movie is one thing, but encountering a ghost is another.

Cang Yan sneered, "What? Are you scared? It's broad daylight, why are you feeling guilty?"

Shen Qin almost couldn't breathe. He pointed at the dark sky outside and said, "Is this what you call broad daylight? You pressed your face against the glass without saying a word. Anyone would think they saw a ghost."

Cang Yan didn't bother to talk nonsense, and rushed to Zhou Liwen's eyebrows, "You really are haunting me!"

"Mutual." Ever since his life story was ruthlessly revealed by Cang Yan, Zhou Liwen no longer took him seriously, and his words and demeanor were calm and fearless.

"Who the hell are you talking to? Do you know who I am? Do you think you can be on equal footing with me just by climbing onto that lousy ship of the Zhou family? Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Who you are is none of my business. We're on our own separate paths. If you hadn't been barking for no reason, I wouldn't have even remembered you."

Cang Yan's eyes were wide open with anger, and he wanted to slap Zhou Liwen into the table.

Shen Qin hurried forward and forcibly pulled Cang Yan aside. Zhou Liwen wasn't afraid of death, but he was! If a fight really started, Zhou Liwen's refined and elite body wouldn't be able to withstand a few punches from Cang Yan.

Cang Yan suppressed his anger. He disdained to engage in verbal battles with Zhou Liwen. Bickering with Shen Qin was his hobby, but he didn't have the patience for anyone else. But he couldn't act rashly. If he landed a punch in front of Shen Qin, it would only make things worse.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly." Shen Qin almost pushed Zhou Liwen out. These two people must not meet. Maybe they are not compatible by nature. Zhou Liwen just doesn't have the foresight to see through it and is courting death.

Not only did Zhou Liwen not leave, he also opened the small box in front of Cang Yan.

Cang Yan's attention immediately turned to the small box. He was shocked when he saw it. "What is this?"

He pointed at the exquisite little cake in the box. Shen Qin took a look and realized that something was wrong. He had just picked it up casually and didn't notice it at all. There was a heart-shaped chocolate embedded in the little cake, bright red, like a big red heart sticking out there.

"Is this a gift from you?" Cang Yan glared at Shen Qin with red eyes, "You gave this to him?"

"I..." I just picked it up casually. Shen Qin was so upset that she wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this moment, Zhou Liwen picked up the red heart, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it in front of Cang Yan.

The crisp sound of the chocolate was like sparks crackling, and Cang Yan's eyes were about to bleed. Without saying a word, he slapped Zhou Liwen's head down and pressed it into the cake.

The chewing sound finally stopped. Zhou Liwen finally raised his head and saw cake all over his face.

Shen Qin screamed and hurriedly took a napkin to wipe the man's face. Zhou Liwen could not see and was completely blind.

Shen Qin didn't care about Cang Yan's mood and quickly helped him wipe off the mousse on his eyes and nose, so that at least he could see and breathe smoothly.

Cang Yan couldn't stand this. He pulled Shen Qin over and said, "Don't help him!"

Shen Qin didn't even bother to scold him. He shook him off and threw a lot of tissues at him.

"I told you not to help him!" Cang Yan was furious. "Do you believe I can beat him into a pig's head?"

"Have you had enough of the trouble?" Shen Qin was also angry. She struggled to break free, but she used too much strength and the slap landed on Cang Yan's face, passing low over his chin.

This time, both of them were dumbfounded.

In reality, Shen Qin had only pulled her hand away, so the slap wasn't strong or complete; it only happened to rub Cang Yan's chin, scratching his cheek at best. But the significance of this action was immense.

Who was Cang Yan? Besides his scumbag father, who could possibly slap him in the face? Anyone who touched him like that would be left with a broken skin. Besides, this person was Shen Qin.

The significance of this was even more extraordinary. Shen Qin was the person he held dear to his heart. She was his fate, his life!

Shen Qin slapped him for someone else, which was almost like asking for his life!

In fact, he didn't get hit hard and it didn't hurt at all, but Cang Yan just covered his face with his hands, looking aggrieved as if he had been slapped.

The look in Cang Yan's eyes at this moment was not anger, nor cruelty, but sadness.

He stared at Shen Qin with eyes that showed nothing more sorrowful than a dead heart, grief as great as the Pacific Ocean, and tears on his face. Shen Qin lost all color, his hands and feet were cold, and his heart felt like it was being sawed back and forth by a rope.

In Shen Qin's sight, Cang Yan retreated step by step, retreated to the door, left a heartbroken look, turned around and left.

Shen Qin couldn't help but chase after him for two steps. Finally, he stared blankly at the shaking glass door, his heart as heavy and suffocating as the vast night.

He couldn't remember whether Zhou Liwen had wiped his face clean, when he left, or how he left. Shen Qin finally returned to the rental house and slammed herself into the bed. She was so upset. What the hell was going on?

That night, Shen Qin's dreams were filled with bizarre and grotesque scenes. Cang Yan's sad face kept appearing in his mind, and it still stubbornly irritated him in his dreams. The next day, with dark circles under his eyes and a dizzy head, Shen Qin made a difficult decision.
