Cry louder, I can't hear you.

"Xiaoyun, Mr. Shen asked you to sit next to him, so please sit down." Ni Ping forced a smile and pulled Lin Qingqing aside to make room for Yun Qiao.

Yun Qiao glanced at Ni Ping, then at Shen Suwei, and stood frozen, not moving.

Yun Zhenxing used serving chopsticks to add a dish for Shen Suwei, his face beaming with smiles:

"We asked Xiaoyun to call Mr. Shen before, but he was always busy. It is truly an honor for our Yun family that he was able to take the time to come to our house for dinner this time."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiao's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Shen Suwei.

Shen Suwei happened to be looking at her, and seeing his smile, Yun Qiao knew something was wrong. She quickly walked over and sat down next to him.

"Mr. Shen, what would you like to eat? Shall I get it for you?"

His tone was incredibly obsequious.

But Shen Suwei was clearly pleased: "I like everything you put in my bowl."

To shut him up, Yunqiao diligently served him a lot of food.

Ni Ping, who was standing to the side, almost popped his eyes out.

She gave Lin Qingqing a disgruntled look, signaling her to be more proactive.

Upon receiving the order, Lin Qingqing hurriedly walked to Shen Suwei's other side, "Mr. Shen..."

Just as he was about to sit down, Shen Suwei suddenly spoke up: "I'm not used to having someone on my right when I eat, sorry."

Lin Qingqing was about to land on the stool when she heard this and froze. She was caught in an awkward half-sitting position, unsure whether to sit or stand.

She looked aggrieved: "...I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"It's good that you know now."

Lin Qingqing: "..."

She glanced at Ni Ping and Yun Zhenxing.

The two men frowned, and finally gestured helplessly for her to sit back down.

Yun Zhenxing turned to look at Yun Qiao with displeasure: "Don't just keep picking up food, also ask Mr. Shen if he has any dietary restrictions."

Before Yun Qiao could answer, Shen Suwei spoke first:

"Miss Yun understands my preferences very well, I'm very satisfied."

It was obvious that he was speaking up for Yun Qiao, and Yun Zhenxing was quickly proven wrong. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he could only awkwardly change the subject:

"Mr. Shen, how many days have you been in Haicheng? When do you plan to return?"

"I should have gone back yesterday, but Miss Yun called me several times, so I had to give her face and set aside a day to come over."

Yun Qiao's lips twitched. This person really could lie so easily without batting an eye.

Shen Suwei's expression was gentle, and his gaze would occasionally fall on Yun Qiao as he spoke, making Ni Ping and Lin Qingqing so jealous that they gritted their teeth.

Ni Ping glared at Yun Zhenxing with a wronged expression, signaling him to think of a solution.

Yun Zhenxing's expression also stiffened, and he quickly tried to smooth things over with a dry laugh: "Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Shen to value our little Yun so much."

"Miss Yun is indeed very much to my liking."

Yun Zhenxing: ...

I originally thought he just valued her casually, but now it seems that Shen Suwei really likes Yun Qiao.

He suddenly began to waver about his plan with Ni Ping.

Since Yunqiao is his daughter, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him if she could marry Shen Suwei.

At worst, he can start cultivating a good father-daughter relationship with Yun Qiao from now on.

After all, they had been married for many years. With just a slight expression from Yun Zhenxing, Ni Ping instantly knew what he was thinking.

Knowing he was starting to waver again, Ni Ping gritted her teeth and decided to take action herself. She said to Yun Qiao:

"Xiaoyun, quickly pour Mr. Shen some wine. This is a vintage wine that your father has treasured for many years; it's very delicious."

She had tampered with that wine glass beforehand.

Shen Suwei doesn't drink what others pour for him, he always drinks what Yun Qiao pours for him, right?

Even if he realizes he's been drugged, they won't be to blame.

With a little guidance, they could say that Yun Qiao was trying to scheme against him, but unexpectedly, she ended up pairing Lin Qingqing with him. This would not only give Qingqing a proper status, but also make Mr. Shen dislike Yun Qiao. It would be killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Ni Ping became even more anxious.

"What are you standing there for? Quickly pour Mr. Shen some wine!"

Yun Qiao didn't move; she lowered her eyes and glanced at the wine glass in front of Shen Suwei.

Without even thinking, there's definitely something wrong with this wine glass.

But what reason could she give to refuse?

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure out how to stop Shen Suwei from drinking this glass of wine, Shen Suwei suddenly turned to look at her:

"Why didn't Miss Yun pour me a drink?"

Yun Qiao looked at him with slight surprise and confusion.

With Shen Suwei's intelligence, how could he not see that there was something wrong with this glass of wine?

"I'd really like to try what Mr. Yun's treasured wine tastes like."

Are you sure?

"Of course." He slightly curled his lips, his gaze unfocused as he "looked" at Yun Qiao.

Yun Qiao was initially suspicious that Shen Suwei might not know that there was something wrong with the wine, since there are always cases where being too clever for one's own good can backfire.

Upon hearing that Shen Suwei had praised him, Ke Yunzhenxing was overjoyed and hurriedly urged Yun Qiao, "What are you standing there for? Pour Mr. Shen some wine!"

Ni Ping urged, "Xiaoyun, hurry up!"

Yun Qiao was speechless. Fine, he insisted that she pour the wine, so he shouldn't blame her later.

Yun Qiao poured Shen Suwei a full glass and pushed the glass in front of him.

"It's ready."

Shen Suwei showed no sign of anything amiss. "Okay, thank you."

He picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and then paused slightly.

Upon seeing this, Ni Ping and the others were so frightened that they held their breath.

Just as he thought he had been discovered, he suddenly curled the corners of his lips and praised, "It is indeed good wine."

Then just gulp down the rest.

Yun Qiao: ? ? ?

Ni Ping, Lin Qingqing, and Yun Zhenxing breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him finish the whole glass of wine.

Became...

Of the five people at the dinner table, not one was simple-minded.

Yun Qiao was too lazy to stay any longer and watch these people put on an act. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom, slipped upstairs to her room, closed the door, and never came down again.

Anyway, Yun Zhenxing and the others didn't want her to appear again. She believed that if Shen Suwei asked her about it, Yun Zhenxing would find a reason and an excuse for her.

As for Shen Suwei, who cares whether he was tricked or not.

Anyway, she reminded him, but he didn't listen, so she can't be blamed.

Yunqiao played on her phone for a while and then checked the time; it was already past ten o'clock.

She took her pajamas out of the closet and went into the bathroom.

After running around outside all day, her feet were a little sore, so she decided to take a bath.

However, halfway through the soaking process, I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

Just as they sensed something was wrong, they heard strange noises coming from outside.

It looks like someone is moving around.

Her breath caught in her throat, and she quickly sat up straight in the bathtub.

"Who's outside?"

Did she just lock the door?

I don't quite remember...

Hearing footsteps approaching the bathroom door, Yun Qiao jumped up, quickly got out of the bathtub, took a towel from the shelf next to her, wrapped it around herself, and walked to the door.

Who's outside the door?

"Why don't you just open the door and you'll see?"

Upon hearing this sound, a chill instantly ran down Yun Qiao's spine.

Shen Suwei...
