Shen Wan glanced at the woman but quickly withdrew her gaze without much interest.

This woman should be Shen Qian’s assistant at Mingda. She had a good figure and stunning looks, but there was one problem: did this beauty seem to hold a grudge against her?

A woman’s intuition about another woman was often quite accurate.

“Do you want something to drink?” The assistant asked him, but Shen Qian turned to Shen Wan and asked, “What do you like?”

“No need.”

“Alright, I’m not thirsty either.” With that, he waved his hand toward the assistant. “You can leave for now.”

The woman’s red lips pressed together slightly, “Yes.”

She came quickly and left even faster.

Shen Wan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. In the distance were towering skyscrapers, and below was a bustling cityscape. It was no wonder that wealthy people liked high-rise apartments. The feeling of “towering above the rest” was indeed amazing.

“Take this.” Shen Qian handed her a powder-blue box.

“What’s this?”

“Bought it on a business trip a few days ago.”

“For me?”

“Who else?”

Shen Wan held it in her hand and shook it lightly. It wasn’t heavy, and then she handed it back to him.

He frowned. “Why?”

“I don’t want it.”

“Give me a reason.” His voice instantly turned cold and stern.

No matter how much he seemed like a gentleman, it was just an act. Deep down, he was still the same assertive Shen Qian.

“If it’s a gift, it shouldn’t be for me alone.”

“What do you mean?”

“Brother.” Shen Wan turned her head, looking directly into his eyes with a hint of meaning. “You have three sisters.”

Shen Qian’s brow furrowed. After thinking for a moment, he asked her, “Doesn’t it feel good to be special?”

“Good, but the recipient shouldn’t be me.” Her two younger sisters should come first; it shouldn’t be her turn.

Shen Wan took off the bracelet. “And this, you should take it back too.”

“Shen… Wan!” His eyes lost their warmth, replaced by an icy chill. Those who knew him well would recognize this as a sign of anger.

Shen Wan shook her head and took two steps back. “It’s getting late. 1 should go.”

“Hold on—” His voice was like a cold chime, sending a bone-chilling feeling.

Pretending to be a gentleman might fool others, but those familiar with him knew that this was the precursor to his anger.

Ignoring his words, Shen Wan quickened her pace to leave. She didn’t know what that bracelet symbolized or what Shen Qian’s intentions were, but her intuition told her she shouldn’t accept it!

In contrast to Shen Qian’s strange attempt at being friendly, she preferred to stick with their previous interactions, where they tested each other’s boundaries and engaged in a push and pull of conflicting intentions.

However, her actions were swift, yet the man was swifter, catching up to her in just a few steps and grasping her slender shoulder from behind.

Gritting her teeth, Shen Wan endured the forceful grip on her shoulder.

“Why are you running? Do you think 1 would devour you?” It was a playful remark, but the tone was anything but playful, unexpectedly cold and exuding an icy chill.

“Let go.” Shen Wan’s face darkened abruptly, her tone different from before, tinged with a hint of dominance.

If Shen Qian had even a modicum of rationality left, he would have noticed that the current Shen Wan was unlike anything he had seen before.

Unfortunately, his anger had already robbed him of the keenness and vigilance he should have possessed. “I told you, if you don’t like it, you can just throw it away. What’s the meaning of bringing it back?”

“You’re willing to throw away something worth millions just like that?”

“If it’s something you don’t like, no matter how valuable it is, it’s trash to me”

Shen Wan’s eyelids twitched, avoiding the man’s gaze, her attitude resolute. “I’ve already said 1 don’t want it.”

“Fine, then throw it away right now.” Shen Qian forcefully grabbed her hand, pried it open, and placed the bracelet in his palm.

With a cold, determined look in her eyes, Shen Wan gathered her palm and, in the next moment, hurled it forcefully into the air.

An elegant streak of white light cut through the air and then fell to the ground, just like an empty mineral water bottle—utterly worthless..
