Chapter 402: What Should I Do If Your Dad Comes at Me with a Knife?

Shen Yan's actions caught Chen Shanni's attention, and she asked curiously, "Do you know them?"

"We have a bit of an acquaintance; the man is a senior who came to give us a lecture last time," Shen Yan replied casually.

Hearing this, Chen Shanni had a slight impression; that senior seemed to be quite a handsome guy, looking refined and carrying an air of competence.

Moreover, his ability to express himself was excellent, and he spoke with great eloquence, leaving a deep impression on Chen Shanni.

However, He Yichen's next sentence almost made Chen Shanni burst out laughing.

She couldn't believe it was the same person at all.

"Since we're out on a blind date, I'll get straight to the point: how long has it been since anyone wanted you?"

???

The woman was full of question marks, thinking to herself how this could be another dead-straight man, so she answered ambiguously, "I haven't dated in a long time."

Chen Shanni and Shen Yan looked at each other, unable to understand what kind of bizarre move He Yichen was pulling.

But He Yichen soon provided the answer.

The woman: "You're quite handsome, huh."

He Yichen gave a faint smile and replied, "You look quite average."

It was obvious that under normal circumstances, the highly emotionally and intellectually intelligent He Yichen would not have such clumsy phrasing.

He was deliberately trying to sabotage things.

The woman's expression turned somewhat ugly, but she still forced herself to endure it: "Is that so? Perhaps the photos were too good, creating a gap in your expectations."

He Yichen: "I've seen your photos. Forgive my bluntness, but the photo-editing marks are too obvious; it's hard to compliment them."

At this, the woman could no longer sit still, leaving behind a "You're a psycho."

Then she stormed off, flicking her sleeves in anger.

He Yichen pursed his lips slightly.

Well done! Finally, I don't have to waste time eating with this fake socialite.

Just as He Yichen stood up to leave, he inadvertently noticed Chen Shanni covering her mouth and giggling, and he couldn't help but freeze.

It was only because her current demeanor and posture were exactly like the one in his memories, as if carved from the same mold.

At the same time, He Yichen also noticed Shen Yan's presence.

Caught in an embarrassing situation, He Yichen did not show any awkwardness.

Instead, he took the initiative to step forward and greet them.

"Junior Brother Shen, what a coincidence that we've run into each other again."

Shen Yan responded politely: "Indeed. Senior Brother He's performance just now really opened my eyes; every word hit the mark, without the slightest bit of hesitation."

"You flatter me, you flatter me!"

It is comfortable talking to smart people; without needing to speak, Shen Yan had grasped his intentions. He Yichen smiled broadly and glanced at the bright and moving Chen Shanni again.

Seeing that the two were on a date, He Yichen had no intention of disturbing them further.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he took his leave and walked away with a carefree air.

Chen Shanni said with a sense of realization: "Senior Brother He doesn't seem very willing to go on blind dates."

"He's reached the age; it's likely due to pressure from the elders in his family."

Originally, Shen Yan hadn't taken this interlude to heart, but suddenly, a thought surfaced in his mind, and his expression became serious: "Shanni, if one day your dad finds out about our relationship and wants to come at me with a knife, what would you do?"

The sudden question left Chen Shanni unable to process it for a moment.

Immediately, she gloated: "Too bad for you. Who told you, you heartless playboy, to ruin his daughter? You deserve a profound lesson."

"Hey, hey, hey! There's no need for that, right? After all, I saved your life; how can you be so ungrateful?" Shen Yan feigned grievance.

"Hmph!" Chen Shanni pouted coquettishly.

"You've already taken advantage of the situation, yet you still act innocent. When it comes down to it, isn't it just because you were blinded by lust?"

Saying such explicit words made Chen Shanni feel a bit embarrassed, while Shen Yan cried out that he was wronged, saying it was clearly her who had taken the initiative to experience that feeling.

And she was even crying and sobbing, looking so pitiful.

With such a beautiful and charming woman lying on the bed, letting you do as you please, and since I'm no saint who can resist temptation, isn't it normal not to be able to resist?

Chen Shanni's ears burned at his words, and her pretty face flushed with an alluring rosy glow, as if she had been drinking: "Saving me is one thing, but why did you have to seduce me? I didn't cry and beg you to take responsibility."

"You're asking when you already know the answer." Shen Yan stared straight at her, and Chen Shanni felt sweet inside, as if she had drunk honey.

The meaning of those words must be that his feelings had reached such a depth that he couldn't help himself.

At least, that was how Chen Shanni understood it.

Her lips curled slightly, and she switched to a gentle yet firm tone: "If my dad really wants to deal with you, just hide behind me. He wouldn't be able to deal with me along with you, would he?"

Meeting those big, watery eyes, Shen Yan grinned.

There was no need to doubt it; the goody-two-shoes would definitely dare to do that.

Because deep down, she possessed a resilience that others lacked; otherwise, she wouldn't have resisted Chen Jun's arrangements and come to Hangzhou alone to study.

But how could he let a girl stand in front of him for such things? Shen Yan felt he still needed to make more money so he could have the confidence to talk to Chen Jun.

Once the money from the stock market was in place, he would start laying out his plans.

After the big meal, the two arrived at the Pottery Studio on the fourth floor of the Yintai Department Store building; the DIY works they had made there last time were ready for pickup after being fired in the kiln.

Three bizarre-looking cups.

Wu Yueer had drawn little pigs on her cup, Chen Shanni had drawn big white geese, and Shen Yan had traced the appearance of an egg tart; as three laypeople without any artistic foundation, the results were predictable.

Calling them "neither fish nor fowl" would be putting it kindly.

The only thing worth praising was that the cup bodies were quite unique.

After all, before the kiln firing, Shen Yan had helped Chen Shanni and Wu Yueer make slight adjustments.

In addition, there were the signatures of the three of them next to the patterns.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

Chen Shanni pointed at the pattern of the egg tart over there and giggled, mocking Shen Yan for drawing it so ugly.

It simply tarnished the image of the egg tart.

Shen Yan glanced at the big white goose on the other cup; alright, he had made a fool of himself.

"Go, go, go, I'll spank you if you keep laughing."

As he spoke, Shen Yan raised his palm.

Chen Shanni hurriedly covered her little bottom and turned to face Shen Yan, because Shen Yan would really take action, and with his mix of hitting and pinching, it made one's whole body go weak.

Even so, her body was still trembling, and she was holding it in with great difficulty.

Afterwards, Chen Shanni pulled Shen Yan and ran to the clothing section on the second floor, wanting to buy two outfits for Shen Yan, but Shen Yan indicated it was unnecessary: "Don't always think about buying me clothes, I have enough to wear."

"But I don't have Yue'er to make you like me as much, so I can only think of buying you things."

Chen Shanni blinked her big eyes, looking pitifully charming, and Shen Yan touched her little head, his gaze as gentle as ever: "That's not true, you don't even know how likable you are like this."

"Really?"

"Mm!"

Chen Shanni smiled shyly, and in the end, neither of them bought clothes, but instead went to Lingshan Outdoor Park to experience the fun of speed and passion.

Driving go-karts, combining high and low speeds, drifting around corners...

With one foot on the gas pedal, it seemed one could forget all their troubles.
