Chapter 580 - 610: Unless He Doesn’t Like Women
Lin Nian couldn’t stand the sight of her own newborn daughter, but Qin Jiao was full of hope for the little one in her belly.
This baby really knew how to pick its time to come into this world.
In her past life... Qin Jiao had lived in a state of anxiety and confusion, so she definitely wouldn’t have been able to take good care of a baby.
Her grandmother and mother also started making things for the baby, and her aunt brought over some of her son’s old baby clothes and mats.
Amidst all this bustling activity, time flew by.
The day of Qin Jiao’s meeting with the people who were opening the noodle shop arrived. But just as she was about to head out the door, she saw a travel-worn Shen Yi return.
Shen Yi took a step forward, wanting to hug her, but as his arms reached out, he seemed to remember something. He hesitated slightly, not daring to use too much force, and held her in a loose embrace.
His chin was covered in stubble, and his eyes held a hint of grievance. "Jiao Jiao."
Feeling the chill air Shen Yi brought in with him, Qin Jiao frowned and quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"
"I almost didn’t get to see you again!"
When Qin Jiao heard this, her heart dropped. She forgot all about her appointment at the restaurant, immediately pulled Shen Yi inside, and said, "What on earth happened? Tell me every last detail."
Seeing how genuinely worried Qin Jiao was, Shen Yi quickly said, "It’s nothing. It’s all in the past. Right now, I just really miss you!"
"Still joking around?"
"Alright, fine."
So, Shen Yi had no choice but to recount the events of the past few days.
It turned out that he had gone to the South for a trade fair and to take care of some business at the company. At a dinner party, someone tried to bribe Shen Yi with a beautiful woman.
They usually saw the young and handsome Boss Shen as quite approachable, so who would have expected him to suddenly fly into a rage?
Shen Yi said angrily, "I don’t know where they found that woman, but she actually dared to hit on me. She was about to sit on my lap, but I pushed her away. Later, she showed up in my room... Jiao Jiao, I didn’t even think—I immediately kicked her out!"
Their opponent’s plan was quite clever: try a honey trap, and if that didn’t work, use the situation to their advantage and report Shen Yi.
That way, if Shen Yi wanted to get out of it, he’d have to pay a heavy price, whether through a private settlement or other means.
Qin Jiao looked at Shen Yi and said, "I believe you, but... you hit her. You’ll have to face legal consequences for that, won’t you?"
"Yeah, I was taken to the police station for questioning. The woman’s face was swollen, and she’d lost half a tooth. How was I supposed to know she couldn’t take a hit? I swear, I only kicked her once! I later told the police it was self-defense."
Qin Jiao: "..."
She could just imagine the complicated expressions on the faces of those police officers, looking at the beautiful woman with her swollen face while listening to Shen Yi claim it was self-defense.
Qin Jiao said, "Did they believe you?"
"They didn’t seem to believe me at first. But after taking statements from several people, the other party finally admitted they were trying to set me up. They just didn’t expect me to actually get violent." Shen Yi frowned too.
He would never hit a woman, but he wouldn’t have reacted so strongly if she hadn’t been taking off her clothes while pressing up against him.
Although Shen Yi was the innocent party in this matter, he had indeed hit someone. Fortunately, it was all resolved in the end. When they released him, one of the officers said meaningfully, "Buddy, you’re not into women, are you?"
A woman that beautiful, with a great body and face—not only had he resisted her, but he’d also managed to kick her out without even batting an eye.
He must not be into women, right?
