Chapter 218: Do you know where the mistake is?
The car stopped in front of a private road sign, as ordered by Shi Yuhuan. He disembarked, leaving Li Qianze to drive back, and strode towards the villa.
Left with no choice, Song Qinghuan followed Shi Yuhuan to the villa.
The atmosphere along the way was strangely eerie.
Shi Yuhuan remained silent, his face chilled, while Song Qinghuan, following behind him, was already accustomed to his icy silence.
Living under the same roof, the words they’ve exchanged could be counted on one’s fingers. The only time was on his birthday.
It was then she realized he was not silent because he didn’t know how to speak, but because he deemed it beneath him.
Indeed, with his remarkable qualities, if she were rich and beautiful, she too would be aloof.
Yet, now, with no money, status, or identity, all she could do was to follow obediently behind him, being as inconspicuous as possible. For the time being, he was king, and she, a mere maid.
Who could blame her? She was at his mercy. She had to rely on him to survive at Times Group, to find her brother.
Once she found her brother, she would turn the tables, becoming a queen and kicking him far away with one foot.
After being with this crafty and shameless man for so long, she noticed she, too, was becoming unabashedly cunning. Was that good? Was it really good?
Lost in her thoughts, she was startled when Shi Yuhuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Engrossed in her own thoughts, Song Qinghuan bumped into his back, the force strong enough to make Shi Yuhuan stumble forward.
With a cold glint in his eye, Shi Yuhuan instinctively reached out to catch the falling Song Qinghuan, saving her from a nasty fall.
Startled, Song Qinghuan looked up at him in fear, intending to apologize, “I’m sorry….”
But before she could finish, she was silenced by a tight grip on her chin.
He looked down at her, his voice laced with icy anger, “Song Qinghuan.”
“Ah?” Song Qinghuan was taken aback, instinctively shrinking back, only to be reined back by his grip on her nape.
Her long eyelashes trembled as she opened her eyes to find his striking face incredibly near, “I didn’t mean to… Em… you suddenly stopped and I was lost in thoughts…”
Shi Yuhuan’s gaze seemed to fluctuate, his lips pursed into a cold line.
From such a close proximity, he could even count her trembling eyelashes. Her makeup-free face showed signs of panic and awkward shyness in her eyes.
Suddenly, the anger he had suppressed, disappeared at that moment. He only asked lightly, “Do you know what you did wrong?”
What did she do wrong? Wasn’t it a bit too much to say she was wrong just for bumping into someone? Fine, she was in the wrong. Who could blame her for being in a weaker position?
The weak-hearted harboring strong will, were often deemed brainless. With her sharp brains, she pondered for a few seconds, and responded cautiously, “I know. I was wrong. I should have paid more attention.”
Shi Yuhuan was irritated again, his tone icy cold, “Song Qinghuan, you’d better remember what I’ve said before. Otherwise, the consequences would be beyond your imagination.”
He released her abruptly, withdrawing his hand.
For Song Qinghuan, the weather suddenly seemed colder, with an icy chill running up and down her spine.
Looking at Shi Yuhuan’s gloomy face, she suddenly understood that they were talking about two different things.
It dawned on her that he must be referring to the incident where Zhan Cheng had claimed her as his girlfriend which she’d assumed had been dealt with.
