Shen Shenxue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes: "It seems it's worthwhile for me to come back."
After hearing this, Quan Shi's heart moved, he reached out and held one of her hands, and hesitantly said: "You..."
Shen Shenxue withdrew her hand, a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, turned to look at the lights of the city, and whispered like a dream: "Quan Shi, let me go."
"What did you say?" Quan Shifang Buddha either didn't hear clearly, or he heard clearly but didn't want to believe it.
Shen Shenxue was silent for a while before saying: "You know I planned to leave last night, but I met those people on the road. Now that you are fine, I want to leave."
"Why?!"
Quan Shi's expression changed and he became a little excited. He couldn't accept that he had finally made up his mind to open up his heart and accept her, but she wanted to abandon him.
"If you made up your mind to leave," Quan Shi tried his best to calm down, but his face was still a little ugly, "Why did you come back to save me?"
Shen Shenxue turned her head, her eyes seemed to have no warmth at all.
"Don't you know why I left? As for why I came back, just pretend that I am happy, but I... don't want to stay with you."
Quan Shi was speechless. Shen Shenxue's words were correct. Apart from that little emotion, he had no reason to keep her by his side.
After a while, his eyes became firm and his tone was unquestionable: "Don't forget, you are still mine..."
"Slave? Ha." Shen Shenxue sneered and once again turned into a hedgehog with long thorns standing upright.
"You are always like this. You think you are a superior king, but in my opinion, you are no different from a child crying for a toy!"
"You!" As if the most shameless part of his heart had been stabbed, the veins on Quan Shi's forehead rose up. He was about to get angry, but thinking of her injury, he had to hold back.
Seeing Quan Shi's chest rise and fall sharply, Shen Shenxue sighed softly, and said in a slower tone: "Just think of it as repaying my kindness for saving your life. Let me go."
Quan Shi trembled, stood up and walked to the window, his back to Shen Shenxue.
The temperatureless lights at night shone on him, giving him a cold and arrogant aura. He who had the city under his feet at this moment was the real "Night Owl".
He stood for a long time, so long that Shen Shenxue thought he would no longer respond to her request. He suddenly turned around, with no warmth in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger he would never see again.
"Okay, I'll let you go as a reward for saving me."
Quan Shi's face was calm, but there seemed to be endless night hidden in his eyes, "From now on, we won't owe each other, and we won't see each other."
Shen Shenxue's chest tightened, and she didn't know whether it was the pain from the wound or the pain in her heart.
She frowned and gave a cold and indifferent smile: "Thank you."
Quan Shi stepped up in two steps, leaned over and held Shen Shenxue's neck, looking into her eyes as if to see something, but in the end there was nothing.
He laughed with a look of sadness and disdain, let go of her and left the room without looking back, closing the door with a "bang".
Shen Shenxue felt her nose was sore, but it only happened for that moment. She soon calmed down and slowly lay back on the bed, looking sideways at the bright and dazzling lights outside the building, her reflection reflected in the window.
…
Li Chuan had just finished interrogating the survivors left last night and signaled his men to clean up the blood-spattered room. After watching them drag out the bodies on the ground, he went out and planned to go straight to the city hospital.
When they arrived at the door, they saw that the helicopter had just stopped, and then Quan Shi came down from it and came towards the castle with a gloomy face.
Li Chuan hurriedly greeted him: "Sir, why are you back?"
Quan Shi glanced at him and asked in a deep voice, "What did you ask?"
Li Chuan was stunned and replied: "Sure enough, he was sent by the Wang family. Old man Wang spent a lot of money to avenge his son."
Quan Shi sneered and said: "He thinks his son is crazy. Since he spent a lot of money to come here, how can he leave empty-handed. Send Wang Junsheng back and let me take care of his funeral affairs. From now on , I don’t want any more news to come from the Wang family.”
Li Chuan showed a clear look in his eyes, nodded, and hurriedly went down to do it.
Quan Shi came all the way to the study room and sat on the leather sofa. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the restored photo on the table, and suddenly felt irritated.
That woman's heart became increasingly unclear. Quan Shi can't seem to tell how much of this is sincere and how much is just for fun.
It doesn't matter, Quan Shi said in his heart, we will never meet again in the future, he is just another passerby. These days in the past, just think of it as a dream.
Shen Shenxue stayed in the hospital for a week, during which time there was no one else except the doctors and nurses who came to check. Quan Shi never showed up again, not even Li Chuan.
It was as if Quan Shi had completely disappeared from her life since that night.
Although Quan Shi did not show up, the doctors and nurses were still very devoted to Shen Shenxue. Shen Shenxue understood that this was all because of Quan Shi, so a week later, even though the doctor said it was best to stay in the hospital for two more days, she insisted on being discharged from the hospital.
It would be nice if I could owe less of this favor.
There was almost nothing to clean up in the ward. Shen Shenxue completed the discharge procedures and walked out of the hospital door.
It was noon, the scorching sunshine was baking the earth, a heat wave hit my face, and a layer of sweat immediately formed on my back.
People were coming and going at the door, the sounds of cars and people were mixed, and the whole world was like a noisy big market.
Shen Shenxue felt like she was in a dream.
After living in a quiet castle for a long time, she suddenly returned to a bustling metropolis, which made her feel a little at a loss.
Just when she was about to go out to take a taxi, a black Bentley suddenly stopped in front of her.
Shen Shenxue was inexplicably nervous. She guessed that the person sitting in the car was that person, but she was afraid that it might be him.
The car door opened, and Li Chuan poked his head out and said, "Miss Shen, long time no see."
Shen Shenxue nodded calmly: "Well, it's been a long time."
"Do you have time?" Li Chuan stepped in and gave way.
Shen Shenxue sat in and closed the car door. Li Chuan spoke first: "It looks like you are recovering well."
"Thank you for taking care of me." Shen Shenxue looked out the window, her tone so light that she seemed to be talking to herself.
"This is what we should do. After all, it was you who saved the Lord." Li Chuan shook his head, with a hint of warmth in his voice.
Shen Shenxue had no intention of continuing on this topic, nor did she want to talk more about Quan Shi, so she turned her head, looked at Li Chuan and asked, "What's the matter with you coming today?"
"Oh," Li Chuan picked up a file bag from his side and said, "My lord asked me to give this to you."
Shen Shenxue was a little surprised and even more curious about what was inside. She opened the bag and took out the documents inside. When she saw the word "contract" on the cover, she understood it immediately.
This is the ten-year contract she signed with Mo Ni. Rather than a "contract", it is better called a "deed of sale." It is also this contract that made Lilith what she is today.
Seeing Shen Shenxue's complicated expression, Li Chuan recalled when Quan Shi ordered him that night.
That night, Quan Shi called Li Chuan into the study and said with a businesslike expression: "I'm going to the city to do something."
When he knew what was going on, Li Chuan immediately showed a meaningful look in his eyes.
Quan Shi glanced at him coldly and said: "I just don't want to owe her anything, so as not to come to me again to ask for repayment in the future. Once we settle it once, we will have nothing to do with it in the future."
Li Chuan sighed silently in his heart, and then went to the city overnight. After finding Mo Ni, he got the contract with half threats and half temptations. After knowing that Quan Shi was behind him, Mo Ni naturally did not dare to say anything.
I received a call from the hospital this morning. After knowing that Shen Shenxue was going to be discharged from the hospital, I hurried over to deliver things.
