At nightfall, Leng Yichen returned to the Leng estate.
Shu Qiqi waited at the study's doorway.
"Let's talk."
"Inside," he said.
Leng Yichen pushed Shu Qiqi into the study.
"I heard that your elder brother threatened you with the Xilong project?" Shu Qiqi asked directly.
"Who told you that?"
"So it's true. Will he make Su Ninglu's matter public, or reveal my relationship with him?"
Leng Yichen walked over, knelt beside her, and took her hand, "You don't need to worry about it, I'll handle it."
"How will you handle it, by giving the Xilong project to him?" Shu Qiqi asked angrily, "Leng Yichen, you can't do this!"
"Are you concerned about me?" The man raised his eyebrows as he looked at her.
Shu Qiqi, unable to meet his gaze, turned her head away, "You've got it wrong. I just don't want to be used by him. This has nothing to do with you."
"Fool, you're my wife. How can you say this has nothing to do with me?"
