Chapter 489 I’m Worried
Xia Yu had long noticed that Shen Qiang and Cai Yanyan didn’t even say hello to each other. In Xia Yu’s impression, there was not any great conflict between them. But it was obvious that Shen Qiang’s words were biting, so she could not help frowning.
“But in my eyes, she is just a big star. Anyway, elder sister, you must ask her for a signature or something else later.” Xiao Shuang didn’t bother responding to Shen Qiang. She still pestered Xia Yu and kept talking.
Shen Qiang rolled his eyes at her several times in a row, ignoring her. He looked at other places, and others didn’t know what he was thinking.
When the filming was over, Cai Yanyan took upon herself to run to Xia Yu. With a happy smile on her face, she handed an exquisite and beautiful bag to Xia Yu. “This is what I bought for you last time when I went to Frence. Take a look at it.”
Xia Yu was really embarrassed since she again bought something for her. She reached for Cai Yanyan, but Shen Qiang caught her arm. He didn’t even glance at the beautiful bag but stared at Cai Yanyan indifferently. “Take back your gift and stay away from my sister later.”
What happened to the child on earth? Xia Yu looked at Shen Qiang and was about to say something before she was pulled away by him.
Xiao Shuang was still waiting for Xia Yu to ask for a signature for her. Seeing that Shen Qiang recklessly pulled away Xia Yu, she shouted several times behind them. But Shen Qiang turned a deaf ear, so she had to follow them.
But she also looked back from time to time, seeing that Cai Yanyan’s face turned pale instantly, and the bag in her hand fell to the ground. Her body shook constantly, just like leaves in the autumn wind.
“Xiao Qiang, what’s wrong with you?” Xia Yu really didn’t know what Shen Qiang was doing. It was not proper for her to blame him in front of Xiao Shuang.
“Don’t ask. Just stay away from her in the future.” Shen Qiang said in a muffled voice.
Xia Yu could say nothing. Seeing Shen Qiang behaving like this, she knew that he must bear some grudges which she did not know against Cai Yanyan. Now it seemed that he could only explain to her when they got back to S city.
After quietly getting into the car with Shen Qiang, she just sat by the window and couldn’t help looking outside. Cai Yanyan was still standing there. Her face was frighteningly pale. Suddenly, she pulled the scarf out of the bag. It was a cream-colored scarf. It was pretty.
She left the scarf on the ground and then lifted her foot to step on it severely. There was a dirty footprint on the white scarf immediately. She seemed to be mad, stepping on it all the time, and soon the scarf was very dirty.
Xia Yu twisted her eyebrows and was about to take back her eyesight, but Cai Yanyan suddenly raised her head, looking in their direction with a gloomy face and a strong sentiment of hatred deep in her eyes. Xia Yu felt a sense of chill and uneasiness in her heart at once, but she looked calm as before and didn’t tell anyone about it.
Getting back to the restaurant, Xia Yu went directly to her room, and Shen Qiang followed her, standing at her door. “Sister, I want to talk to you about something.”
“Well, let’s talk in my room!” Shen Qiang must want to tell her something about Cai Yanyan. At the same time, Xia Yu just wanted to know what happened between them.
“Elder sister, Cai Yanyan is the kind of person who will never be grateful to whatever good deeds you do to her.” After entering the room, Shen Qiang really talked about Cai Yanyan. “You know…”
Shen Qiang was just about to say the key point while there was someone knocking at the door. Xia Yu went to open the door and saw Xiao Shuang standing at the door with Shen Yan.
“Why are you here?” Xia Yu asked in surprise.
“Sister, this gentleman said that he was your friend, so I brought him here.” Xiao Shuang explained on the side.
Xia Yu nodded. “Yes, we are friends. Thank you!”
Seeing that they really knew each other, Xiao Shuang turned around with a smile and then left.
Xia Yu looked at him whose face looked a little haggard and thinner a lot. Even his chin became pointed. It seemed that he really worked hard these days.
“Brother, why are you here?” Shen Qiang also stood up.
“For you.” He said directly, without any excuse or reason.
Although he was responding to Shen Qiang, his eyes had been staring at Xia Yu as if her soul was about to be inhaled by his deep and black eyes. Xia Yu immediately looked away as she sensed that her heart flickered somehow.
“Come in and sit down.” Xia Yu could only let him in since he was here.
Shen Yan came in. Shen Qiang looked at Shen Yan and then looked at Xia Yu with his brows frowning. Suddenly, he reached out and put his hand around Xia Yu’s waist intimately. Then he got his head close to her ear and whispered to her, “Sister, you are so charming that my brother left everything alone and followed you here.”
In other people’s eyes, his movement was very intimate. Xia Yu glanced at Shen Yan nearby, only to find that his handsome face was tense, and his eyes were dark and heavy. His eyes were like swords looking at Shen Qiang.
But for the fact that Shen Qiang was his brother, he would have punished Shen Qiang badly.
Shen Qiang was obviously intentional. He raised his eyebrows, and he was not affected by Shen Yan’s eyes but held Xia Yu more tightly.
Xia Yu twitched her mouth and whispered to Shen Qiang, “Do it lightly! My waist is almost hurt by you.”
“I have something to talk with Xia Yu. Xiao Qiang, go out first.” Shen Yan frowned and looked at Shen Qiang’s hand on Xia Yu’s waist.
“Brother, what do you want to say to my sister? I can’t listen?” Shen Qiang didn’t want to go out.
“Go out and shut the door.” Shen Yan’s tone was irrebuttable.
Shen Qiang was extremely dissatisfied and had wanted to refuse, but at last, he didn’t speak it out after thinking for a while.
“Xiao Qiang, go and ask the owner to prepare for the meal. We’ll go down to eat after finishing the talk with your brother.” Xia Yu said to Shen Qiang who was still hesitating.
Then Shen Qiang finally grunted assent and went out.
Xia Yu asked Shen Yan to sit down. “What’s the matter? In fact, you don’t have to go there in person. Just make a phone call.”
“I want to see you.” Shen Yan looked at Xia Yu deeply with his eyes filled with softness.
This was not a problem that could be solved by a phone call. Xia Yu’s heart was beating fast just because of his words. She furtively scolded herself for being so emotional.
“Aunt Jiang’s son will be back tomorrow. I will go back after I get back the stuff.” Xia Yu calmed down. Fortunately, her face was still normal just now, so Shen Yan could not figure it out.
“But I’m still worried.” Shen Yan stood up while talking with a serious look. He raised his hands and grasped Xia Yu’s hands. His tone softened.
Xia Yu drew back her hands, but the warm feeling on the hands did not disappear. The warmth seeped into the blood through the skin and flowed to her heart which even flipped like receiving an electric shock.
“What are you worrying about? I’m good, right? Besides, Xiao Qiang is still with me.” Xia Yu reluctantly smiled.
“After you came here, was there anyone who deliberately targeted at you and made trouble for you?” Shen Yan didn’t listen to Xia Yu’s explanation. He looked into her eyes and said with concern, “Tell me what happened at the hot spring resort.”
Suddenly, he reached out and stroked a strand of hair on Xia Yu’s face to put it behind her ear. Then, his fingertips stroked her ear. It seemed that there was a small electric current passing by where he touched her, which was a little bit limp and numb.
After waiting for him to take back his hand, Xia Yu rubbed her ear with force. “Xiao Qiang told you about this, right?”
He grunted with his eyesight still wandering on Xia Yu’s face.
“Nothing, just a crazy woman playing a prank.” Xia Yu avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial. That person was just trying to scare her. When they got the things back tomorrow and returned, everything would be fine.
“Li Tianci is inhuman.” His eyes narrowed slightly, and a sense of coldness burst out.
“That’s why we need to find the evidence of his crime as soon as possible and bring him to justice.” Xia Yu shrugged her shoulders as if it was not a big deal.
“Look at you! Well, forget it.” Anyway, Shen Yan had come here in person, and tomorrow Aunt Jiang’s son would come back. Nothing serious would happen.
“You haven’t booked a room yet, have you? I’ll ask Xiao Shuang to arrange one for you. You can take a bath and change your clothes. Maybe the meal is ready.” Xia Yu knew that Shen Yan was a stickler for neatness. When he came here after a long journey, it would be better for him to clean himself.
Xiao Shuang arranged a room for Shen Yan quickly. When Shen Yan was taking a bath, Xiao Shuang asked Xia Yu in a low voice, “Is the gentleman who just came here Shen Qiang’s brother? They share the same family name.”
Xia Yu smiled and said, “Yes, he is Xiao Qiang’s elder brother.”
“His brother is so handsome. What’s his job? Does he have a girlfriend?” When Xiao Shuang mentioned Shen Yan, her eyes were shining. What an anthomaniac!
“My brother has a girlfriend, so don’t think about going after him.” Before Xia Yu could speak, Shen Qiang just opened the door to go out and heard the conversation between them. He then mercilessly smashed Xiao Shuang’s improper thoughts.
After listening to Shen Qiang’s words, Xiao Shuang’s face was full of disappointment which could be hidden. “Really? Well! He is so excellent, and it’s normal for him to have a girlfriend. But what’s his girlfriend’s name? Is she pretty?”
Shen Qiang went to Xia Yu’s side and reached out to put his hand around her shoulder. Then he said to Xiao Shuang, “It’s just my sister. She is much more beautiful than you, so I advise you not to think about going after my brother, or you may be hurt.”
“Isn’t the sister your girlfriend? How can she be your brother’s girlfriend?” Xiao Shuang exclaimed, pointing at both of them.
Xia Yu was really speechless. What was the girl thinking? How could she misunderstand their relationship? “He is younger than me. How can you think so? We don’t even look like a couple, do we?”
“You look like a good match! Isn’t it popular now to be a cradle snatcher now?” Xiao Shuang’s eyes went back and forth on their faces several times, and she still thought they looked like a good match.
Shen Qiang was amused. “Xiao Shuang, don’t you always think we are a couple?”
“Of course, I do! We often have couples here traveling on vacation together. You two came here together, and you took care of your sister so much. Surely, I would have such a delusion!” Xiao Shuang rubbed her hair with her hand.
“That’s quite a good analysis.” Shen Qiang looked back at Xia Yu and then asked Xiao Shuang, “Did you tell my brother that we were a couple just now?”
“Yes!” Xiao Shuang replied straightforwardly. After saying that, she realized that it was not proper and hurriedly explained, “I didn’t know your relationship at that time.”
It was no wonder that he came in with a ghastly look as if others owed him a lot of money. It turned out that he was jealous! What was funny was that Shen Qiang even purposely made a small drama in front of him. He must be even more green-eyed.
Shen Yan was so narrow-minded that Shen Qiang feared that he would be retaliated badly later, so he hurriedly took his hand off Xia Yu’s shoulder.
