Chapter 70: Chapter 070: Mr. Qi, I’m Afraid of Death Chapter 70: Chapter 070: Mr. Qi, I’m Afraid of Death Xiao Zhao sat opposite Shen Yan, watching her earnestly finish the food on the table before she couldn’t help but speak up, “Yanyan, was it you who carried me back to the hotel?”
Shen Yan: “Otherwise, what, a ghost?”
Xiao Zhao excitedly yinged in her heart.
So shy!
She hadn’t expected that her first princess carry in life would be from Yanyan!
So beautiful she wanted to cry!
Shen Yan looked towards the door; Liu Su had been out for quite a while now.
He must have found out what he needed to know by now.
She hadn’t expected Qi Si’s enemy to be so bold.
The important point was that she hadn’t read about this aspect of Qi Si in the original story.
Before Liu Su returned, a message from Wen Yan came in.
He asked her if she had any specific requirements for her dress she’d wear on stage; his people would prepare it.
Shen Yan didn’t like those fancy, colorful clothes that were too bright and shiny—they made her feel constrained.
She stated she didn’t need to dress up on purpose; her usual clothes would be fine.
It wasn’t like she was going to walk the red carpet; no need for all those fancy things.
Wen Yan then asked her how the song preparation was going, confirming everything was alright on Shen Yan’s end before fully putting his mind at ease.
Shen Yan only told Wen Yan she would arrive early in the evening, and then he didn’t say much more.

On the other side.
Liu Su reported the home situation to Qi Si over the phone.
This matter was no small thing; after Qi Si listened, he gave a reply, “I’ll try my best to return to the country these next few days.”
“Miss Shen was quite frightened; if possible, please, sir, give her a call for some reassurance. Miss Shen knows she was wrong about what happened before; please, sir, consider that this last time Miss Shen didn’t make a fuss and give her a call.”
After saying this, Liu Su waited for a while, but when no response came from the other side, he quietly hung up.
Shen Yan decided not to go out anymore.
She would just crash-course some music knowledge in the hotel.
Although Xiao Zhao was always with Shen Yan in the room, when Shen Yan worked, she entered a realm of self-forgetfulness, completely ignoring Xiao Zhao’s existence.
While Xiao Zhao marveled at Shen Yan’s strong learning ability, the phone on the side buzzed.
“Yanyan! Your phone’s ringing.”
Shen Yan turned her chair to face the calmly ringing phone and leisurely picked it up.
“Mr. Qi?” Although Shen Yan hadn’t saved the number, she was very clear it was his.
Mr. Qi?
Xiao Zhao’s ears instantly perked up.
Shen Yan glanced at Xiao Zhao and walked out to the balcony before starting again, “What is it?”
“This matter, my people will handle it cleanly.”
“Does someone have a crush on Mr. Qi?” Shen Yan suddenly asked.
“Why do you ask?”
“If it’s real enmity, they should’ve targeted Mr. Qi, not me,” Shen Yan said.
This point of reasoning actually surprised Qi Si.
“It can be seen as competition for an arranged marriage.”
“So, there is such a woman. Does Mr. Qi know who she is? Hiring someone to harm me shows that the woman’s identity is not simple.”
“Whether she exists or not, does it matter?” Qi Si’s voice still carried not a hint of emotion.
“It doesn’t matter, except she might want me dead. Mr. Qi, I’m afraid of dying.” That woman had better stay hidden for a lifetime.
“Contact Uncle Liu if there’s trouble.”
Qi Si wasn’t keen on talking more with Shen Yan.
Shen Yan said, “I will if I need to.”
“What do you want?” the cold voice asked her right before hanging up.
“Uh?” Shen Yan was startled, “What I want, Mr. Qi probably can’t give.”
Qi Si fell silent.
Shen Yan thought that he might have misunderstood.
Misunderstood that she wanted to get out of the arranged marriage.
Shen Yan hung up the phone, holding the mobile for a while before going back to the room.
*
After hanging up that call, Qi Si experienced a very strange feeling.
Shen Yan’s words were hiding something.
Her reaction was somewhat unfamiliar.
It wasn’t like the Shen Yan he knew.
A sharpness began to grow in Qi Si’s icy eyes.
Soon after, a call from Beijing came through.
He looked at his buzzing phone indifferently, with no intention of answering.
The persistent ringing continued several times until the caller finally gave up.
But then a message popped up.
[Qi Si, I had no knowledge of the attack on Shen Yan.]
[But honestly, even if you marry Shen Yan, the daughter the Shen family doesn’t want, it won’t serve any purpose of a marital alliance between your two families.]
Even so, Qi Si still ignored this unnecessary explanation.
Because he simply didn’t care.
They hadn’t even started investigating,
And one by one, they were jumping out.
Really can’t keep their cool.

At six in the evening,
Shen Yan arrived at Wen Yan’s concert with her agent and assistant.
The APP had announced the list of guest performers at Wen Yan’s residency show; Shen Yan was not the only guest, Wen Yan also invited three of his friends.
They were also part of the music scene.
Knowing that Wen Yan had invited Shen Yan, the rising new star, everyone was waiting to see her in person.
When the real person appeared before them, their gazes shifted, and they instantly understood why so many online praised Shen Yan’s looks.
With such a face, such a temperament,
Walking among the crowd, she was surely the first person to catch anyone’s eye.
Shen Yan was like a luminous body, unable to hide the radiance about her.
Xie Xuan stood beside Wen Yan, his tall and handsome presence garnered only a sidelong glance to set the fans into a frenzy!
Speaking of music industry heavyweights, there was also Xie Xuan!
And because of having Xie Xuan, the big name, as a guest performer, Wen Yan’s concert tickets sold out instantly, leaving many frenzied fans unable to grab a ticket.
Many people didn’t understand why a music mogul with both looks and talent would become best friends with someone like Wen Yan.
Even seeing them standing together now, they still couldn’t comprehend.
“Your new friend is quite the sensation,” Xie Xuan said, leaning over to whisper in Wen Yan’s ear, “I watched your survival show, and she did pretty well.”
Bathed in the spotlight, Wen Yan turned and caught a glimmer of light in his eye, making Xie Xuan, facing the light, seem almost unreal.
Hearing his words, Wen Yan gave him a silent eye-roll, “Did I not do well?”
Xie Xuan laughed: “Hmm, you did fine too.”
That laugh sent the fans, who couldn’t get in, into a dazzled frenzy, followed by wild screams.
Shen Yan walked down the aisle and was slightly dazzled by this scene.
Hearing the wave-like screams, she felt an urge to cover her ears.
“Shen Yan! Wen Yan has already mentioned you,” one of the three friends, a woman named Zhang Yu, spoke up.
A powerhouse vocalist!
Many recent TV drama theme songs were sung by her, and her popularity was soaring.
Another was also a powerhouse, able to handle songs in various languages with ease, with several of her songs being very popular and widely sung.
As for Xie Xuan, there was no need to elaborate.
It was said that he gained fame while still in school and carried the title of Little King Xie.
He was not called Little King because of his young age, but because the title was bestowed upon him in high school and had stuck with him ever since.
Shen Yan introduced herself to Zhang Yu, showing modesty, then followed the others backstage.
Wen Yan had already gone to prepare, and everyone backstage seemed a bit busy.
“My name is Xie Xuan,” Xie Xuan formally introduced himself at last.
Shen Yan shook his hand and nodded, “I know you.”
“Hahaha! Who doesn’t know Little King Xie?” Zhang Yu laughed heartily, “Shen Yan, don’t be fooled by his serious look, he’s actually a joker!”
Xie Xuan gave a resigned smile, “Don’t listen to Zhang Yu’s nonsense.”
Shen Yan smiled faintly when suddenly Liu Su leaned in from behind and whispered to her, “Miss Shen, it’s a call from the Shen family.”
Shen Yan was startled.
The Shen family called Liu Su?
