Tang Yanqi’s face was very pale, lacking the rosy hue that girls her age should have, yet her lips were a delicate pink, making one irresistibly want to take a bite. Her eyelashes were long and thick, explaining why Tang Yanqi’s eyes appeared more lively and beautiful than others.
Sheng Jianan unconsciously curved his lips into a slight smile, gently shifted his body, and propped his chin with one hand. For the first time, he realized that seeing someone quietly lying beside him in the morning could also feel quite nice.
Perhaps his movements disturbed Tang Yanqi. The originally sleeping little figure murmured twice, turned over, tilted her head to the other side, and nuzzled into the pillow before continuing to sleep.
She continued to sleep, but Sheng Jianan’s faintly lifted lips darkened instantly upon seeing the four finger marks on the side of Tang Yanqi’s cheek.
A slap is different from other wounds, not easily noticed unless it’s very severe; otherwise, it typically won’t be noticed until the second day.
Yesterday, he had only seen the injuries on her forehead and the corner of her mouth, not realizing that she had been slapped as well.
His lawfully wedded wife Sheng Jianan had actually been slapped?
Can you tolerate that?
Without further thought, Sheng Jianan turned over and got out of bed, walked to the living room, and made a call, "Where are the people who bullied the Young Madam yesterday? Detain them for me."
When Qiao Zi received the call from Sheng Jianan, she was still in the crowded morning rush. Listening to what her boss said, her first reaction was that it was over; Young Master Sheng was going to handle them personally.
There was no such reaction last night, so why the sudden change this morning?
But Qiao Zi wouldn’t ask more questions. She had managed to stay by Sheng Jianan’s side for many years, relying on her top-notch work efficiency.
Those people, Sheng Jianan originally had no intention of letting them off easily, but upon seeing the finger marks on Tang Yanqi’s face, he decided that he absolutely couldn’t let them go.
His people, could these punks from who knows where really bully them?
Thinking they could provoke trouble without seeing if they had the ability first.
He reopened the bedroom door and glanced inside; Tang Yanqi was still sleeping soundly. Sheng Jianan changed his clothes, grabbed his keys, and went downstairs to buy breakfast.
Not long after Sheng Jianan left, Tang Yanqi woke up, probably because she was too exhausted yesterday. She awoke a bit later than her usual biological clock, looked around at the not-so-familiar place, and after a few seconds, remembered where she was supposed to be.
Propping herself up to sit, Tang Yanqi suddenly furrowed her brows tightly; her whole body felt like it had been trampled by a horse, not a single bone felt okay.
She felt like she was about to fall apart; the sensation today was much more intense than yesterday.
Tang Yanqi forced herself to get up and wash up, opened the bedroom door, looked around but found no one, called out softly twice, and still got no response. It made sense when she thought about it; it was nearly time for people to go to work. How could Sheng Jianan possibly break his usual habits for her?
Just as she was thinking this, her phone rang. It was Qi Cheng calling to ask if she was going to class today and if she needed him to sign her in. Tang Yanqi replied briefly, and then her phone died. Checking the time, she calculated that she could still make it to the dorm to change clothes, given how disheveled she was in yesterday’s outfit.
She quickly changed shoes and rushed downstairs. Sheng Jianan’s apartment was excellently located, not too far from K University. After hurrying back to the school to change her clothes, she rushed to the classroom. Her roommates were already there, and upon seeing her arrival, they quickly waved her over.
