Chapter 43: How Dare You Lay a Hand on My People?!

Shen Chujin lowered her eyes, but suddenly met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

She looked at him.

He looked back at her.

Shi Yi was leaning casually against the window, grayish-white smoke drifting around his handsome face, adding a touch of laziness to his whole aura.

Outside, the neon lights flickered, and a slight cool breeze blew in through the window, ruffling his hair and making it look even wilder.

He slowly exhaled a smoke ring, his gaze scanning over Shen Chujin’s face.

Shen Chujin didn’t expect to see Shi Yi here.

She gave him a faint nod and then walked downstairs.

Seeing Shen Chujin pass by without hesitation, Shi Yi slightly furrowed his brows.

At this moment, two men came down from upstairs.

Seeing Shi Yi there, they greeted him one after another.

“Brother Yi!”

“Hello, Brother Yi!”

Shi Yi didn’t respond, silently puffing on his cigarette.

He wasn’t familiar with those two.

After greeting him, the two men cheerfully went downstairs, talking as they walked, smelling of alcohol.

“Hurry and chase after her. That woman just now was absolutely stunning—I’ve never seen anyone that beautiful.”

“Exactly, that temperament is on another level. If… hehe… just thinking about it feels great.”

Their voices gradually grew quieter.

Shi Yi, however, barely noticeable, knitted his brows.

In his mind, the pure, flawless, beautiful face of Shen Chujin appeared involuntarily…

Annoyed, he stubbed out his cigarette and strode downstairs.

No matter what, that woman was his wife in name — no one could casually insult her!

As Shen Chujin walked, she noticed two “tails” following her.

She calmly kept walking forward, making her way out of Night Mystery.

She didn’t go toward crowded places but headed to the fountain on the right side of the main entrance.

There was a small garden there—quiet and with few people.

After passing the fountain, she gradually slowed her pace.

The footsteps behind her grew closer.

“Hey, beautiful, don’t walk so fast.”

“Let’s be friends, we can have a nice chat~”

“Yeah, wait for us.”

Two teasing voices sounded, light and flirtatious.

One of them even reached out a lewd hand to touch Shen Chujin’s shoulder.

Shen Chujin’s eyes turned icy cold as she stopped.

Just as she was about to act, she suddenly heard two anguished cries behind her.

She quickly turned and saw two men lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

Next to them stood a tall figure.

Shen Chujin glanced at the person and momentarily lost focus.

It was him!

Shi Yi had his foot pressing on one man’s chest, his eyes cold and sharp.

“How dare you touch my people!”

He pressed down hard with his foot, and the man below screamed in pain, his face contorted.

Seeing this, the other man shrank back and quickly begged for mercy.

“Brother Yi, we’re sorry, we didn’t know she was with you. We won’t dare again, please spare us!”

The other hurriedly added, “Yes, yes, Brother Yi, we won’t do it again, please just let us go like a fart!”

Shi Yi cast a cold glance at both men.

“If there’s a next time, you know the consequences.”

“We know, we really won’t do it again!”

The two men were left helpless, wanting to cry but with no tears. How could they have known that Shi Yi—who was known to avoid women—actually had someone?

If they had known earlier, no matter how brave they were, they wouldn’t have dared to make any inappropriate moves!

“Get lost!”

Shi Yi lifted his foot, his eyes cold and emotionless.

Ignoring the intense pain in their bodies, the two men immediately fled in panic.

Shi Yi glanced up at Shen Chujin, his gaze unreadable.

He said nothing and turned to leave.

Shen Chujin: …

It seemed he had strong objections to the marriage.

He didn’t even want to talk to her.

Well, who would want to marry a complete stranger?

If it weren’t for the fact that she needed the marriage bond to sustain her life, she wouldn’t force anyone.

However, even though he was clearly displeased with her, he still stepped up to protect her, which showed he had some decency.

“Thank you.”

The moment Shi Yi turned his back, Shen Chujin spoke her thanks.

Although she could have handled those two men herself, Shi Yi had indeed helped her.

That “thank you” was only natural.

“No need.”

Shi Yi paused, his words cold as ice, “Don’t wander around outside at night if you have nothing to do.”

Didn’t she realize her face easily attracts trouble?

He didn’t even know why he was a little angry.

He couldn’t explain his own feelings.

He just felt somewhat displeased.

Shen Chujin raised the corner of her lips slightly.

Well… that probably wouldn’t work.

Most of those ghosts and evil spirits came out at night.

If she had to deal with them, she would definitely be outside often at night.

Of course, she didn’t need to say that out loud.

Their third meeting was also not very pleasant.

Perhaps because she had used too much spiritual energy, after returning home, Shen Chujin washed up and immediately fell asleep.

She slept straight until after nine o’clock the next morning.

If it hadn’t been for her phone ringing, she probably wouldn’t have woken up.

The call was from the agent, asking her to come over to handle the house ownership transfer procedures.

The agent’s attitude was very respectful, even a bit flattering and fearful.

Zhu Zhipeng was also present.

Everything went smoothly.

The agent even enthusiastically recommended several construction teams.

Based on their previous renovation styles, she chose one she liked best.

The designer from that team was very sincere and immediately scheduled a time to visit the house.

Instead of choosing another day, she set the appointment for that very afternoon.

When the designer arrived, she explained her requirements and the kind of feeling she wanted, and the designer carefully took notes.

In the following days, the designer diligently kept contacting her to revise the renovation plan.

Seven days later, the renovation team officially began work.

During this period, Shen Chujin’s live stream continued as usual.

One morning, just after waking up, she received a call from Grandma Mo.

“Xiao Jin, are you busy right now?” Grandma Mo’s voice sounded a bit anxious.

Shen Chujin replied, “Not busy. What’s going on?”

“It’s not me who’s in trouble, it’s my old sister’s great-granddaughter. Something happened to her. I want to ask you to go check on her.”

Grandma Mo said awkwardly.

This matter was a little embarrassing for Shen Chujin herself.

Before, Shi Yi didn’t even have a girlfriend, while most of the women his age already had great-grandchildren.

She could only be envious.

But now, she finally had a granddaughter-in-law.

Of course, she had to show off on her social media circle, right?

Now everyone was asking who the granddaughter-in-law was and what she did.

In her excitement, she accidentally let it slip.

Of course, only to a few people she was very close to.
