Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

After leaving the study, Qin Shengsheng couldn't afford to waste even a moment because she was about to start her online class. So she said goodbye to the two of them and left first.

Yan Lan looked at Qin Shengsheng's departing back, calmed down, and then turned her gaze to Qin Shi beside her. She said softly in a gentle voice with a hint of gratitude,

"Qin Shi, thank you just now."

She was truly grateful to Qin Shi from the bottom of her heart. If he hadn't stepped in in time, she didn't know how the situation would have ended. She also didn't want to have an unhappy relationship with Shen Yunzhong on her first day at Yunhu Villa.

"Why thank you? You're my wife, isn't it my responsibility to protect you?"

Qin Shi responded almost subconsciously, and as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was stunned.

These words came out of his mouth so smoothly, it seemed as if his wife had called him that countless times.

When Yan Lan heard this, her heart skipped a beat and a barely perceptible blush appeared on her face.

She lowered her head slightly, stared at her toes, and coughed twice.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qin Shi's handsome face at this moment. He coughed lightly, trying to cover up his gaffe.

He touched his nose, his eyes evasive, and explained,

"You and Grandpa are both important family members to me."

As soon as he said this, he felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"What about your dad?"

Yan Lan suddenly remembered the scene she saw that day, and there was a doubt in her mind.

The dashcam seemed to be fine these days, but she had a bold guess in her heart. However, she was currently lacking key evidence, so she had never dared to tell the Qin family directly.

When Shen Yunzhong was mentioned, Qin Shi's face instantly darkened, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He pursed his lips tightly, and the lines on his face became particularly cold. He seemed to be extremely resistant to Shen Yunzhong's affairs and was unwilling to say another word.

Seeing Qin Shi's expression, Yan Lan didn't want to ask any more questions, so she tactfully returned to her room.

Qin Shi went to the bar downstairs alone, took a bottle of whiskey from the rack, and poured himself a full glass.

The amber liquid swayed gently in the cup, and he drank it all in one gulp. The spicy wine slid down his throat, burning his internal organs, but also temporarily paralyzing his nerves.

After Yan Lan returned to the room, she first dealt with some work matters. When she finished, she looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already very late, but Qin Shi had not returned yet.

She sat on the edge of the bed, hesitating whether to go find him, feeling a little worried.

At this moment, the phone beside her pillow suddenly lit up. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from "Shi Guang".

Lan Tian: It’s so late, why aren’t you asleep yet?

She tapped her fingers lightly on the screen and sent the message, thinking that perhaps the old man had quarreled with his wife again and was unable to sleep.

Soon, a reply popped up on the phone screen.

Time: Can’t sleep.

Looking at these three simple words, Yan Lan seemed to be able to sense the annoyance between the lines.

The old man usually talks a lot.

Lan Tian: Who made you unhappy again?

She continued to ask, hoping to help "Time" relieve his unhappiness.

Time: Family.

Yan Lan frowned slightly, wondering if the other family also had various complicated conflicts like the Qin family.

Lan Tian: Did you quarrel with your wife again?

After sending this message, she leaned against the head of the bed, quietly waiting for "Time"'s reply, but her thoughts involuntarily drifted to Qin Shi downstairs.
