If someone hadn't suddenly exclaimed in surprise, Shen Shuangjian might not have recognized Xie Qingchi at all.
The extremely unpleasant impression instantly returned to her mind. Shen Shuangjian frowned and finally focused her gaze on the man who was gradually approaching.
After removing his sunglasses, Xie Qingchi's signature peach blossom eyes were revealed, just as described online, full of deep affection, yet his gaze always carried contempt and arrogance.
He looks at dogs with affection, but everyone else seems like a dog to him.
[Holy crap? Xie Qingchi?! My mother's son Xie Qingchi?!]
[ Xie Qingchi, you... why are you here again!]
[Entered the palace for the third time...]
[Even Consort Xi only entered twice, what more do you have?]
[Ber, Xie Qingchi, what are you doing with the potion?!]
[Who saw the expression on my wife's face just now? She looked up and realized the sky had fallen—Brother Puxin was back.]
[Although, Xie Qingchi is indeed good-looking. If only he had a better personality, a less sharp tongue, and wasn't so two-faced, I would actually support him Shen Shuangjian.]
[Why is he looking at my wife again? Xie Qingchi, where are you looking?]
[I dare not open my eyes, hoping it's just my imagination...]
[ Xie Qingchi back, but what about Xie Jinghui...?]
[ Xie Jinghui, are you even a man? How could you let Xie Qingchi in?]
[Now that Xie Qingchi has grown legs, how can an uncle like him stop him? Xie Jinghui isn't his father.]
[...]
[Seriously, there are plenty of guys who secretly admire our wife, Xie Qingchi doesn't deserve her.]
[What a complete reversal!]
The uproar caused by Xie Qingchi in the live stream was something Xie Qingchi himself was clearly unaware of, because all he could see now Shen Shuangjian, who looked even thinner than before.
A sense of dissatisfaction rose within him, but as he approached, he forced a "gentle" smile.
" Shen Shuangjian, I've seen her again."
He reached out his hand, approaching in what he thought was a "cool" and "peaceful" manner. Although there were clearly six or seven people in the group, he only saw Shen Shuangjian.
He even forgot to greet his uncle, whom he had always respected, because Xie Qingchi was so confident and eager to see the results of his learning.
Before he came, he had consulted with several friends in his circle who had been in dozens of relationships.
They patted their chests and assured themselves that as long as they did as they said, Shen Shuangjian would definitely stop avoiding him and treating him like a monster.
He even carefully recalled the three elements they mentioned on his way here.
Smile, be kind, and do whatever the other person says.
So, Xie Qingchi, who had learned from others, might have had a completely different attitude in the eyes of outsiders.
But in Shen Shuangjian's eyes, Xie Qingchi, who had always disliked her and had given her a hard time at the beginning of the show, had not only returned.
He even stood before him with a stiff, threatening smile, extending his hand condescendingly and saying, "See you again."
Shen Shuangjian subconsciously took a step back. He pursed his lips slightly, ignoring Xie Qingchi's outstretched hand.
In fact, Shen Shuangjian rarely dislikes or fears anyone. If she had to be specific, Xie Qingchi would be the first.
He almost completely crossed the line that Shen Shuangjian resisted the most and could not accept.
His fierce attitude and tough personality meant that he would still physically assault me even when I clearly expressed my dislike, and he would relentlessly appear no matter how I tried to hide.
Even now, Shen Shuangjian Shen Shuangjian gets chills whenever she thinks about being bombarded with strange phone calls and threatening text messages.
Xie Qingchi was completely unaware that the gentle smile he forced was seen as threatening by Shen Shuangjian. He also couldn't understand why Shen Shuangjian avoided him like the plague.
He later thought about it carefully, and the only reason could be that there were too many rumors and gossip on the internet, which made him feel wronged, so Shen Shuangjian was angry with him.
However, Xie Qingchi also felt wronged about this. He was clearly ridiculed by those idiots online, and he couldn't control what they said or did.
He was even sent away by his uncle and kept busy for more than half a month, so tired that he was dizzy and exhausted, but he was still thinking about Shen Shuangjian.
Work is never-ending, but the internet is in complete chaos right now. Every time he searches for keywords related to Shen Shuangjian, his uncle always pops up inexplicably.
Then he realized that so many people were shipping his uncle and Shen Shuangjian as a couple!
Xie Qingchi was absolutely furious.
What do they know? Uncle is already old!
The more Xie Qingchi looked at the mess, the more indignant he became. He left behind a huge mess and went straight back to Capital, determined to return to participate in the program.
Even his uncle couldn't stop him, that's what he said!
"You're hiding... what?"
The last two words made Xie Qingchi, who suddenly remembered his friend's advice, pull back from the brink and swallow his words.
Xie Qingchi withdrew his hand and silently recited the three elements three times in his mind before finally turning his gaze to the man next to Shen Shuangjian.
That uncle he had always revered and deeply respected.
"Uncle."
Xie Qingchi's shout was somewhat reluctant.
He got so angry after reading just a little bit of the vulgar language online that he refused to read any more. Normally, he shouldn't have believed it.
In his memory, his uncle had always been a solitary man, unmoved by temptations and devoid of worldly desires.
He began working with the family business in his teens, and was only twenty-two when he took charge of the Xie Family.
But from that time on, Xie Jinghui began to cultivate himself and expressed this to his parents more than once.
He may never marry or have children in his life, but the heavy burden of the Xie Family will eventually fall into his hands.
Xie Qingchi had always believed that someone as quiet and aloof as him would probably never fall in love with someone wholeheartedly in his life.
So when people started shipping Xie Jinghui and Shen Shuangjian as a couple, Xie Qingchi's first reaction was to refute it and not believe it.
His uncle, a cold-hearted and ruthless person, wasn't even close to his own brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. How could he be so special to a complete stranger he'd only met a few times?
However, when Xie Qingchi thought this way, he could never completely convince himself, because he understood Xie Jinghui, which is why Xie Qingchi could see the difference between Xie Jinghui and Shen Shuangjian.
Even from just a few scattered comments and short videos, Xie Qingchi could tell that his uncle was less distant and more gentle and patient with Shen Shuangjian.
He had previously invited Xie Jinghui horseback riding, but Xie Jinghui hadn't taken it seriously at all, and he couldn't get him to come no matter what he did.
