Chapter 173: 173, If you touch her, I’ll touch you
The man’s transformation was so sudden, it was as if he was suffering from split personality disorder, becoming extremely violent out of the blue. Song Qinghuan was terrified, her breath caught in her throat, so scared that she forgot to fight back…
The slap did not come down on Song Qinghuan’s face. Instead, a slender hand grabbed Si Chen’s.
Si Chen angrily looked up, only to feel as if he was staring into the face of a terrifying demon. His handsome face turned pale instantly.
His whole body froze.
Unlike him, Song Qinghuan suddenly smiled, gathering all her strength to yank her hand from Si Chen’s grasp and moved to Shi Yuhuan, who had suddenly appeared beside her.
Shi Yuhuan’s expression remained unchanged, still nonchalantly casual, indistinguishable from his usual demeanor.
But the look in his eyes as he stared at Si Chen was tinged with a hint of bloodiness.
Suddenly, a powerful force emanated from his hands, sending Si Chen, like Song Qinghuan earlier, reeling uncontrollably, finally crashing onto the side table.
After the loud crashing noise, Si Chen awkwardly got up from the ground, a strong smell of blood accompanied by intense pain spread quickly across his forehead.
Everyone was shocked, too frightened to take a breath.
Up the stairs, the butler held steady his master, Shi Xiuren, who was quietly standing there.
Seeing the scene unfold, the butler, appearing rather anxious, stepped away from Shi Xiuren. Seeming as if he wanted to go down to intervene, he was however stopped by a shake of Shi Xiuren’s head.
Shi Yuhuan’s expression remained unchanged. Glancing indifferently at Si Chen who was sitting on the ground, he turned to look at Song Qinghuan, the concern in his voice just as cold as before, “Are you hurt?”
Song Qinghuan held her arms with her hands and shook her head, “I’m ok.”
During all this, Si Chen always kept Shi Yuhuan in his icy stare.
Suddenly, he scoffed, “Hmph! So you also have a soft spot for women.”
Shi Yuhuan did not respond to him, his face devoid of all emotion as if Si Chen were a mere passerby. With one hand, he took Song Qinghuan’s hand, and with the other, he brushed her disheveled hair.
Si Chen’s face turned even paler, his heart burning with a silent rage, “I won’t let this go. I will get back at you!”
Finally, Shi Yuhuan stopped treating him like vapor.
He turned to look at Si Chen, a slight smile formed on his beautiful face without a hint of displeasure, “You hurt her, I hurt you.”
It was the smile of the reaper.
In his smiling eyes, there was no warmth, only a bloodthirsty demon with the power to see through people, leaving them nowhere to hide.
The Shi family, including the old patriarch Shi Xiuren, all shivered slightly at seeing Shi Yuhuan’s smile.
Because they all knew, the terror hidden behind that smile.
Although Song Qinghuan hadn’t seen it before, she could hear the implied threat in his words.
Suddenly, she thought of the countless threats he’d made to her. Although his eyes were slightly squinted, giving off a threatening vibe, she did not feel even half as threatened as she did now.
Turns out, a person in this world could utter icy and sharp words to you but that doesn’t make him terrifying. In contrast, if he smiles politely at you, he is perhaps capable of plunging a knife into your heart in the next second.
With these six simple words, Si Chen suddenly became quite, blinking in disbelief.
Could it be that it’s real, that he and this woman are not just pretending? Unbelieving and unable to accept, he was stunned.
Shi Yuhuan turned around and looked at Shi Xiuren, “Grandfather, we have eaten. We’re quite tired and will go rest now.”
Nodding slightly, he then took Song Qinghuan’s hand and left.
