Chapter 235 - 235: I’ll Let Her Know How Powerful I Am
Shen Wan couldn’t believe that when she entered the living room, Shen Qian dared to lay a hand on her in front of so many servants.
So, she didn’t really intend to run away.
Shen Qian chased after her all the way to the living room but found that the woman who had looked so stubborn just moments ago was now sitting leisurely on the sofa, smiling at him with a hint of provocation, a dash of defiance, and a touch of pride. Her habitual straight posture, neatly crossed legs, made her appear poised, dignified, and subtly exuded the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family.
Gone were the surface signs of weakness, replaced by a deep intelligence that ran through her bones.
So, this was her true self.
Shen Qian suppressed his racing heartbeat and approached her step by step.
Several maids cast curious or appraising glances in their direction.
“Brother, would you like to sit?” She smiled, tilting her head back and making space for him.
If it weren’t for the two red marks on her fair face, Shen Qian might have thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion.
How could she still smile?
“Please, sit. I believe you don’t want the servants to see their young master being made a laughingstock.” The woman suppressed her smile and looked ahead indifferently. “Let’s talk.”
Shen Qian sat down, leaving about half a person’s distance between them. It wasn’t intimate, nor was it distant.
This was how siblings with the same father but different mothers interacted, not barging into her room, roaring like a mad dog, and resorting to physical violence.
“What do you want to talk about?” With calmness and rationality restored, the man now appeared as a charming gentleman.
“Let’s talk about our relationship and the boundaries that should exist.”
Shen Qian’s brows furrowed. “I don’t need you to teach me.”
“Is that so? But you’ve already crossed the line today, my dear brother.”
Though she meant it as sarcasm, the word “dear” momentarily caught his breath, but he didn’t show it on the surface. “I just want to remind you, whether at home or in the company, without rules, there’s no order. If you want to go further, it’s best not to engage in things like staying out all night in the future.”
“Dad doesn’t care, and yet you stick your nose in. Is it necessary?”
“I’m doing it for your own good!”
“But I don’t need it.”
“Is that so?” He curled his lips, his smile icy.
“The Shen family doesn’t belong to you, and you can’t be my master. A brother will forever stay as a brother, blood ties can’t be severed. Whether it is now or in the future. I hope you understand your boundaries and don’t overstep them.”
With those words, she got up and left, paying no attention to the man’s expression.
If the first sentence was a warning, the second one was a direct blow to the heart!
Shen Qian placed his right hand on his heart, leaned back, rested his head on the sofa, and stared blankly at the ceiling. A faint smile gradually appeared on his lips.
A brother will forever be a brother., blood ties can’t be severed…
In the end, he chuckled softly, “So, you knew all along…”
If today hadn’t pushed him to his limits, he might have continued to feign ignorance.
When did she realize?
Was it the flaws in his words? Or was it the bracelet named “Ares Tears” that made you wary?
“Wanwan, I’ll make you understand who rules this family, and I’ll let you see whether or not I can be your master…”
His words lingered in the air for a moment before dissipating completely, leaving no trace.
The next day, Shen Wan arrived at the company early, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she managed to perfectly avoid Shen Qian. The two of them never crossed paths.
“President Shen, what happened to your hand?” Miao Miao couldn’t help but ask when she saw Shen Wan signing with her left hand and her right hand resting under the office desk without being raised..
