Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Want to Manage My Money? Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Want to Manage My Money? “Mr. Qi!”
A radiant figure was walking towards Qi Si like a fluttering butterfly, directly flying into his heart.
As he watched the person approaching him in a few steps, Qi Si was taken aback.
At the mont when he saw Shen Yan and other stars appearing, Qi Si had already considered the possibility that Shen Yan might pretend not to know him. He hadn’t expected Shen Yan to walk over to him so openly, smiling so… seductively!
Qi Si’s ink-like gaze landed on Shen Yan’s smiling face, deep and solemn.
“Are you done?” Qi Si’s voice was as cold as a mountain stream.
Shen Yan nodded, looking to her assistant, “Does Mr. Qi still have to go out for work?”
The assistant was about to speak when Qi Si said, “Just got back.”
The assistant tactfully said, “Mr. Qi, I’ll leave first.”
Qi Si nodded.
Mr. Qi?
Li Yanbai couldn’t help but glance over.
The corridor was only so wide, and they stood so close that they naturally heard the assistant’s address.
The surna Qi.
Li Yanbai thought about it, but couldn’t co up with anyone from Xia City.
However.
Although Li Yanbai wasn’t a wealthy heir, as a frontline celebrity, he often ca into contact with so circles of the powerful.
He had heard of the Qi Group from Shen City.
He had also heard that the Qi Group had connections in Beijing.
And the man in front of him also bore the surna Qi and had an extraordinary presence.
Li Yanbai couldn’t help but make so associations.
On second thoughts, the surna wasn’t uncommon. It wasn’t rational to suspect anyone with the surna Qi.
Then he paid more attention to the relationship between this man and Shen Yan.
Qi Si’s ink-black eyes slightly lifted, and his chilly gaze swept across Li Yanbai.
Li Yanbai instantly felt as though he was being suppressed by an invisible pressure.
It was then Shen Yan rembered Li Yanbai, “Mr. Qi, let introduce, this is Li Yanbai, the lead actor of ‘Black Shadow’! He has been very supportive of in the production.”
Very supportive of Shen Yan?
Qi Si glanced at Shen Yan’s smiling face.
His gaze was cool and detached.
“Mr. Li, this is Mr. Qi…” Shen Yan did not introduce Qi Si’s full na.
Her introduction made both n look at her simultaneously.
Qi Si’s gaze was cold and expressionless, inscrutable.
Li Yanbai, however, analyzed the introduction, coupled with the rumors he had heard about Shen Yan having a financial backer.
Turning his thoughts back to Qi Si, Li Yanbai beca more inquisitive.
“Mr. Qi, hello.”
Li Yanbai extended his hand to Qi Si.
Qi Si, however, rely nodded and did not shake hands.
Li Yanbai wasn’t embarrassed in the slightest; he naturally withdrew his hand and said to Shen Yan, “Shen Yan, I’ll head back to my room first. You two take your ti.”
“Sure.”

Qi Si put aside his work and took Shen Yan out for dinner.
It was now 7:40 PM.
The upscale restaurant here didn’t require reservations; they headed straight for a private room.
Qi Si had just arrived when he went to take a phone call, leaving Shen Yan to order the dishes.
Once Qi Si returned, Shen Yan said, “I ordered a few slightly spicy dishes, as I’ve seen Mr. Qi usually enjoys them.”
Qi Si looked at Shen Yan with a deeper gaze, “Hmm.”
“Coming out earlier, I saw your assistant still waiting outside, is that really okay?”
“It’s dinner ti.”
“Mr. Qi, I can’t accept those things,” Shen Yan hadn’t entered the room, the items hadn’t been brought out, and she planned to return them once back.
Qi Si said indifferently, “We are husband and wife, these things should be ours.”
Shen Yan felt that Qi Si’s tone was even colder than usual and carefully said, “I’ll keep the ring. There’s no need for the card and assets, I can earn my own. Besides, with my current career, I don’t need to spend much money.”
She didn’t shop, nor did she pursue a high-quality lifestyle.
She had already taken over the original owner’s body and family; she couldn’t demand too much.
Shen Yan worried about the financial ties; their relationship might be challenging to manage after two years.
Rembering his ntion of a divorce two years later, Shen Yan’s brows furrowed.
“Keep it,” these were re pocket change for him.
Not even the tip of the iceberg.
Shen Yan wanted to say sothing but then she heard him say indifferently, “Or do you want to manage my money?”
Shen Yan didn’t speak, just shook her head.
She didn’t want to manage his money.
Just then, the al arrived.
Silently, Shen Yan picked up her bowl, picked up so vegetables, and chewed slowly.
ntioning this had once again brought a bit of a chill to the atmosphere between them.
After dinner, Qi Si asked Liu Su to co to pick up Shen Yan and left in his car without looking back.
Watching this scene, Liu Su felt worried.
What was going on now?
Wasn’t everything fine just before? Why the cold face again?
“Yanyan, did you and Mr. Qi have a fight?” Liu Su asked.
Shen Yan shook her head. “No.”
“Then…”
“He might have been holding it in for too long.”
“What?”
What had been held for too long?
Shen Yan turned and got into the car Liu Su had driven.

The next day at the film set, they started filming a car chase scene early in the morning.
A section of the road had been cleared, several cars had been dragged over, and all the props were ready. Shen Yan got into a car, dressed in a police uniform, driving a police car.
Li Yanbai, acting as an undercover, followed a group of people escaping from the edge of the city, leading the way.
The female lead happened to encounter the pursuing police officers and joined the chase by driving along.
The driving skills of the female lead in the film were not very good, and she nearly got knocked down several tis; this section was a thrilling sequence, and just by looking at the setup on site, one could tell how intense it would be.
Director Chen ca over to explain the scene to everyone, clarifying every detail as they couldn’t afford any mistakes in such a thrilling scene.
The most important were the perforrs handling the ropes and controlling the props.
Seeing them prepare to mount the car on a rail, Shen Yan said, “Director Chen, there’s no need for that. I can handle it.”
“It’s too dangerous,” Director Chen rejected her offer.
No matter how good your driving skills are, you can’t take the risk.
Holding a walkie-talkie, Director Chen confird the readiness of all positions.
Shen Yan was about to perform this thrilling sequence, and Liu Su and Xiao Zhao were very anxious.
Liu Su almost wanted to persuade Director Chen to drop this part of the scene.
Several skilled race car drivers had co to the set to provide guidance and stand in.
Shen Yan looked outside and swallowed back the words she wanted to say.
The thrilling scene continued to be fild until dusk without success, as Director Chen strived for perfection. The car chase had to be done in daylight, with other scenes being shot at night.
Shen Yan and Li Yanbai finished at the sa ti that night, not saying much, and entered the car the crew had prepared to return to the hotel to rest.
With them was another person.
The three of them did not talk much.
Li Yanbai glanced at Shen Yan next to him by the light outside.
He rembered the man from the previous night who seed to have a complex relationship with Shen Yan.
Shen Yan had introduced him just like that, not worried about him being exposed?
Although he wouldn’t do it, Shen Yan’s unguarded stance was too dangerous.
He even wondered how she had managed to get where she was.
After a whole day of busy shooting, shooting thrilling scenes was not only physically tiring but also ntally exhausting.
Li Yanbai soon fell asleep leaning against the seat.
Shen Yan rested her chin on her hand on the window side, holding her phone in her hand; she hadn’t received any ssages from Qi Si that day.
It was hard to describe the feeling.
In the hotel elevator, Shen Yan and Li Yanbai said goodnight to the veteran actor and continued upward.
The two of them exited the elevator at the sa ti, and Shen Yan glanced down the hallway, catching sight of Mr. Qi’s assistant erging from a room. Seeing Shen Yan and Li Yanbai, the assistant nodded slightly, “Mr. Qi is inside.”
“I’ll go back to my room,” Li Yanbai walked past Shen Yan, glancing inside through the half-open door as he did.
His glance t those dark, piercing eyes inside, sending a chill down his back as he hurriedly retreated.
That man was sowhat frightening.
Shen Yan approached the door: “Mr. Qi.”
“Co in.” The man’s voice was very steady and cold.
Li Yanbai only heard these two lines of dialogue, followed by the sound of the door closing. As he took out his room card, he gave one last glance towards the room, his expression quite strange.
