CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: SEVERING ALL TIES, GRIEVANCES RESOLVED

"Ha!" Chi Ye laughed sarcastically, "Miss Qin, if a man doesn’t love you, even if you give him your heart, it’s laughable. Before your dignity is completely collapsed, you’d better go back. You got hurt last night too, why not go back and rest?"

"Qianchi..." Qin Yishu looked at Sheng Qianchi pitifully, like a guilty believer waiting for the god’s forgiveness and redemption.

However, Sheng Qianchi no longer looked at her, instead, he stared intently at Mo Jun and asked, "Where is she?"

This "she" was self-evident, everyone knew it referred to Gu Jiayin.

Mo Jun spoke with some difficulty, "Miss Gu arranged to go shopping with Miss Lu."

An expression of self-mockery flashed across Sheng Qianchi’s eyes, but seeing Mo Jun’s troubled expression, he could also guess that Gu Jiayin knew he was injured, yet she didn’t come to see him and instead went shopping with a friend.

Even respecting her in such circumstances could not bring about a shred of her affection, not even gratitude.

The once proud and unruly man, after appearing haggard, exhibited a deep sense of loss.

Qin Yishu immediately took the opportunity to add her part, "Qianchi, Gu Jiayin, and her mother are both so cheap, so heartless. You shouldn’t be pining after her, it won’t end well."

The man, who had been feebly leaning against the headboard and had always been indifferent to her, suddenly seemed infused with energy out of nowhere. His eyes, like waves suddenly rising from the sea, spurred him to sit up abruptly.

Nobody reacted, and with a "slap," a loud slap printed on Qin Yishu’s face.

"Ah!"

Qin Yishu, caught off guard, fell to the ground, her cheek immediately swelling up, and her head was also spinning badly.

This was too unexpected. Sheng Qianchi had never hit a woman before. Although he didn’t love her, he remembered her kindness and had never been harsh to her.

But today, if he were not physically weak, this slap would surely have knocked her out cold.

She lay on the ground, clutching her face, looking up at him in horror and timidity.

Sheng Qianchi coldly glanced at the woman on the ground, and from his handsome and thin lips, he spat out cold words clearly, "Remember, today you and I have settled our debts. Don’t expect me to pity you like before. In the future, learn to tuck your tail in front of me, otherwise..."

Qin Yishu trembled on the ground as if she had fallen into an ice cave in the coldest winter.

This man, when merciless, was more hurtful than the deadliest poison.

Amidst her trembling and unwillingness, the man’s voice rang out again, "Even if she has a thousand faults, she’s still my woman, Sheng Qianchi’s woman, and it’s not for you to judge her. Get out!"

The ward seemed to conjure countless icy crystals, making the air so cold it was chilling. Qin Yishu dared not linger any longer and frantically stood up to run out.

"Stop!"

The man’s icy order instinctively halted her steps. She didn’t dare turn around or make any big moves, even her breathing became cautious.

"Take your things with you."

Qin Yishu’s eyes suddenly widened as she turned to look at Sheng Qianchi. When he said he no longer had any pity for her, he truly meant not an ounce was left.

Her tears didn’t move him in the slightest. She watched as he peacefully closed his eyes and leaned back against the pillow.

Overwhelmed with embarrassment, she had no choice but to endure it, walking back to pick up the thermos on the ground, then hurriedly left the ward.

...

After Qin Yishu left, Chi Ye couldn’t help but tease, "You really are cold and ruthless."

Sheng Qianchi didn’t speak, just coldly opened his eyes and glanced at Chi Ye, still lingering in resentment for his presumptuous actions the night before.

Chi Ye shrugged, "You should thank me, shouldn’t you?"

Sheng Qianchi didn’t reply. Yes, he should thank Chi Ye, otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen his own heart clearly.

He suddenly recalled that last night, before leaving, he had angrily thrown her off the bed, and it seemed her forehead hit the corner of the table...

Suddenly, he really wanted to see her.

But she was so heartless, surely she wouldn’t come to see him.

"Want to see her?" Chi Ye asked blandly.

Sheng Qianchi didn’t answer, his mind was replaying the events of the previous night over and over.

"I’ll bring her to you."

Chi Ye stood up to leave. As a friend bound by life-and-death ties, he genuinely felt for Sheng Qianchi. He never imagined that for Gu Jiayin, he would push himself so hard.

He thought that even if he didn’t force Gu Jiayin, he wouldn’t have to suffer so much. Finding a clean woman to deal with was a simple thing.

"Don’t cause me trouble." Sheng Qianchi gritted his teeth to stop Chi Ye, then instructed Mo Jun, "She hurt her forehead last night, take a doctor to check her injury."

Before Mo Jun could act, Chi Ye sarcastically said, "Don’t worry, if her injury is serious, she wouldn’t be able to go shopping."

Sheng Qianchi ignored Chi Ye and repeated his command to Mo Jun, "Go."

"Yes."

Mo Jun took the order and left. Seeing there was no one left to take care of Sheng Qianchi, Chi Ye had no choice but to sit back down, "What now?"

What now?

He clearly remembered Sheng Qianchi used to say that he would not allow any woman to control him. If he met such a woman, he would decisively get rid of her.

Sheng Qianchi didn’t speak.

What now?

In the past, he arrogantly claimed that he would remove any woman who interfered with him, but when he really encountered such a situation, he realized how laughable that thought was.

How could he remove Gu Jiayin? He wanted to give her the best love.

But she didn’t want him.

Chi Ye, rather amused, looked at the man whose face was haggard after a tormented night, "Want me to do it for you?"

Sheng Qianchi suddenly lifted his dark eyes, icy and cold, "If you lay a finger on her, I’ll kill you!"

"Heh heh heh..." Chi Ye chuckled softly, "Qianchi, you’ve finally got normal feelings, congratulations."

Only when a man truly loves a woman does his soul settle and take root, just like he fell in love with Lu Xiya.

If he hadn’t met Lu Xiya, perhaps he’d still be living a life in chaos now, or maybe he would have disappeared from this world during one of those gang fights.

He loved Lu Xiya from the very first sight.

Although she humiliated him greatly, she saved his soul.

Similarly, from the moment Sheng Qianchi fell in love with Gu Jiayin, he transitioned from a state of floating icy crystals to merging with the spring waters of the human world.

There was a brief silence, and both men had their own reflections.

Ultimately, Sheng Qianchi broke the silence, his tone somewhat melancholic, "But she doesn’t want me."

"What woman has unwavering love?" Xia Mubai suddenly pushed open the door and entered, looking at the two handsome tall men with a teasing smile, "The one who’s always good to her is the ultimate winner."

Chi Ye raised his eyebrows without speaking.

But Sheng Qianchi asked thoughtfully, "Is that so?"

Could he possibly, with his kindness, finally touch the heart of that cold-blooded woman Gu Jiayin?

But he had always been so good to her, and she seemed not to be moved in the slightest, last night almost even costing him his life.
