Chapter 012:
Early morning.
Shen Qingxin was sleeping on the bed, awakened by a slight noise. She opened her sleepy eyes to see Yun Bufan standing at the bedside, tidying up the blanket for her grandfather.
At first, she was surprised, then noticed she was wearing Yun Bufan's coat. A wave of unknown emotions surged within her.
"Woke up?" Yun Bufan smiled faintly. "I bought breakfast for you. Would you like some?"
With that, he handed over the breakfast from the bedside.
"Thank you." Taking the breakfast, Shen Qingxin quietly started eating.
Yun Bufan said, "Doctor Huang said your grandfather's vital signs are stable now. With proper rest, he'll recover, so don't worry too much."
"Okay." Shen Qingxin's aloof demeanor softened a bit, making her look very obedient.
At this moment, Yun Bufan picked up the car keys and was ready to leave.
"You... leaving already?" Shen Qingxin stood up, feeling surprised.
Doctor Huang was his arrangement, yet Yun Bufan didn't mention it at all, showing no intention of taking credit.
"Yep, I just took over the company. I need to familiarize myself with the business," Yun Bufan said with a smile.
"You didn't sleep well last night. You should go back and rest," Shen Qingxin said, blushing slightly and feeling her heart race.
Why did she start worrying about him involuntarily?
"No need. I'm still young; a sleepless night won't hurt," Yun Bufan waved and left.
Watching him leave, Shen Qingxin blinked. Was it her imagination, or did he change a lot?
"Haha, can't get enough?" An old voice came.
"Grandpa, you're awake?" Shen Qingxin rushed over with joy.
Shen's grandfather looked at her in surprise. "Child, what's wrong with your face?"
"Well... it's a long story. I'm fine..." Shen Qingxin told her grandfather about the fake disfigurement.
"It's thanks to you for coming up with this idea. That guy, Yun Bufan, from the Yun family?" Shen's grandfather asked with a smile.
Shen Qingxin nodded. "Yes."
Shen's grandfather squinted his eyes thoughtfully. "It's different from the rumors. I woke up last night and you were sleeping. That guy was busy taking care of you, even covering you with his coat."
"His coat..." Shen Qingxin touched the coat left by Yun Bufan and felt a bit dazed.
Then she seemed to remember something, shook her head, and said, "Grandpa, you've been in a coma for half a year and don't know what's happened. During this time, Yun Bufan has been indulging in pleasure, doing nothing useful. He's a complete scum."
Shen's grandfather smiled, "Child, people change. But it's your freedom. Whatever you choose, Grandpa supports you."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Shen Qingxin grabbed her grandfather's hand, feeling relieved. "I plan to divorce Yun Bufan as soon as possible and then find a job at a company."
"I know you've always dreamed of being an independent woman. Go for it," Shen's grandfather said, patting Shen Qingxin's head.
After a while, when Shen's grandfather fell asleep, Shen Qingxin left the ward. She took out her phone and messaged Lu Jing.
[Jingjing, please arrange that matter as soon as possible, preferably within a few days]
[Lu Jing: So urgent? Are you sure about this?]
[Shen Qingxin: Sure, I can't wait. I want to divorce quickly and focus on my career]
Lu Jing chuckled: [Are you afraid of falling in love with Yun Bufan?]
Shen Qingxin's breath tightened and immediately refuted [Impossible! Don't talk nonsense! I can't stand him!]
[Lu Jing: Alright, I've already introduced Yun Bufan to Fina. She's very satisfied. Don't worry. As long as Fina sets her sights on a man, she will never fail to get him. She's renowned as a male lover]
[Lu Jing: But you need to figure out his schedule so I can arrange for Fina to 'accidentally' meet him]
[Shen Qingxin: Got it, I'll figure something out]
Putting down her phone, Shen Qingxin sighed. For some reason, she wasn't as happy as she thought she would be once the plan was set. Instead, she felt a bit depressed.
"He's just been normal for two days; I can't be swayed," Shen Qingxin shook her head and tried to clear her mind of jumbled thoughts.
...
Yun Bufan sat in the driver's seat of his sports car.
"Weird, I've completed the villain mission, but why haven't I received any rewards?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar mechanical voice sounded—
[Ding! Villain Counterattack System congratulates you on completing the mission of stopping Su Chen's show-off at the restaurant. You've received a system reward—Power Surge Talisman, which can increase your power by ten thousand times. You can freely set the usage time of this token, but it can only be used once.]
"Power Surge?" Yun Bufan rubbed his chin, his mind racing. "This skill is not bad."
[Ding! Villain Counterattack System congratulates you on completing the villain of stopping Su Chen's show-off at the restaurant. You've received a system reward—Shen Qingxin's message records]
Yun Bufan became curious instantly. He wanted to know what conversations the aloof beauty Shen Qingxin had privately. Would there be any juicy content?
He couldn't wait and said eagerly, "Immediately access Shen Qingxin's message records."
The next moment, a white light flashed, and a transparent panel appeared in front of him.
The contents of Shen Qingxin's chat appeared on it.
There was nothing much, but the conversation with a girl named 'Jingjing' caught his eye.
"It seems Shen Qingxin has made up her mind to divorce."
"She even found a beautiful woman named Fina to try and seduce me?"
"Heh, divorce, what a dream!"
Yun Bufan clicked his tongue. With such a fortunate woman by his side, he wouldn't let her go. Besides, there was still that scheming Su Chen.
However, he wouldn't act until Shen Qingxin made a move.
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, a smirk curled up on Yun Bufan's lips.
"Hello, Mr. He, what's up?" Mr. He sounded a bit awkward. "You said yesterday that I would be assassinated. Are you sure?"
Yun Bufan chuckled, "As I said before, trust me. Mr. He, if you don't believe me, feel free not to contact me."
