Chapter 545: Chapter 540: Overly Clingy to Wife
Professor Lin from the research institute ca to Shen City to do academic exchanges and to see if there were any promising talents around.
Shen Yan had tossed Qi Si aside early in the morning to attend Professor Lin’s symposium, causing quite a stir as soon as she entered the university gates.
Qi Si watched Shen Yan go in and glanced unkindly at the people swarming towards her.
The driver ahead nearly lost it and almost spoke out. If you’re really worried, just stick close and go in with her instead of scaring people here.
Qi Si texted Shen Yan: “Don’t look around.”
Shen Yan felt her phone vibrate and took a glance: …
She turned her head back and her eyes t Qi Si’s, who was right there in the car.
Looking ahead again, she saw several handso university students and fell silent for a mont.
The next second, she felt the murderous chill emanating from Qi Si, cleared her throat, and shifted her gaze away.
Her face felt a bit hot.
Did he really think he was so irresistible that everyone wanted a piece of him?
Besides, they had already gone public. Everyone knew they were a couple, so what was there for him to worry about?
“Shen Yan, you’re here, co this way,” Professor Lin led a group of people towards her.
“Professor Lin,” Shen Yan quickly reached them.
“Let introduce you to…” Professor Lin began introducing the people around him to Shen Yan.
Then she was surrounded by the group and ushered into the main venue.
When the symposium was over, Shen Yan was kept behind. The hosts were about to arrange a al for Professor Lin and his party when soone hurried over and whispered in the university president’s ear: “Mr. Qi has already made arrangents for us.”
The president couldn’t help but look towards Shen Yan.
Shen Yan responded with a smile.
Seeing Shen Yan, the president’s gaze beca even friendlier. With her status as an Academician, representatives from other fields were also paying attention to her movents. So, he knew who this Mr. Qi was.
The others also heard their conversation and turned their attention toward Shen Yan.
Shen Yan smiled back.
She checked the ti and texted Qi Si: “Arranged by Mr. Qi?”
Qi Si saw her ssage and imdiately ended his eting, calling Shen Yan.
“Is it over? I’ve arranged lunch.”
Feeling the gazes around her, Shen Yan turned away and asked, “Are you coming over too?”
“Is that inappropriate?” Qi Si sounded a bit disappointed.
“No, I can bring family here,” Shen Yan smiled, finding him a bit adorable, “then I’ll see you there.”
“Okay!”
Only then Qi Si left the company happily.
His assistant ca over with docunts, saw him hurrying off, and knew he was off to dine with his wife again. Since returning this ti, Qi Si had been excessively clingy with his wife.
He couldn’t resist texting his wife every few minutes. Whenever she was free to talk, he would call right away.
As soon as the call connected, he wished they could talk forever.
The company gossip was mostly about the two of them. Previously, they wouldn’t dare to discuss Qi Si’s private life. But ever since the front desk ladies—who were fans of the couple—rose up the ranks within the company, those sharp-witted employees followed suit by flattering Shen Yan, every day offering non-repetitive praises of the couple’s loving relationship and marital harmony.
Just as Qi Si stepped out of the building, envious voices about the president’s wife could be heard behind him.
Envy aside, they all knew their own limits.
Shen Yan’s capabilities were indeed a match for Qi Si himself, so it was her own excellence that attracted soone equally outstanding.

The dining had been arranged in a high-end, quiet area where there wouldn’t be any reporters to cause a disturbance, making the al much more tranquil and comfortable.
As the group arrived, they saw Qi Si, who had arrived early and was waiting at the entrance. They exchanged glances and read the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Shen Yan followed Professor Lin, and as soon as she got out of the car, she felt Qi Si’s eyes on her.
The heat felt as if they hadn’t seen each other for a long ti.
Shen Yan turned her face away under his gaze, giving a light cough.
Qi Si approached her, his gaze still not leaving her.
They had only been apart for four or five hours, did he need to look at her with such intensity? Shen Yan forcefully used her eyes to signal Qi Si to restrain himself a bit.
However, Qi Si automatically interpreted that Yanyan was sending him affectionate glances!
Qi Si’s mood lifted imnsely!
Seeing this, Professor Lin couldn’t help but chuckle, his gaze also carrying a hint of ambiguity.
Shen Yan felt even more embarrassed.
“Professor Lin, let’s go in,” Shen Yan said, and the others pulled their attention away from the couple’s dynamic.
Qi Si naturally walked beside Shen Yan and took her hand.
Shen Yan wanted to break free, but Qi Si gripped her hand tighter.
“Everyone’s here,” Shen Yan whispered.
“Everyone knows,” so it’s okay.
Seeing so people stealthily glancing back at them, Shen Yan quickly averted her gaze.
“We are husband and wife; there’s no need to sneak around,” Qi Si said seriously, close to her ear.
This is not about sneaking around…
Eventually, Shen Yan herself felt sowhat helpless. He had already shown their affection to others, being restrained now would make no difference.
*
Everyone thought they were already lovey-dovey outside, but to their surprise, at the dining table, Qi Si’s behavior was even more eye-catching.
Shen Yan’s face blushed from the intense attention, and casting a glance at the man who seed eager to spoon-feed her, she wanted to cover her face in embarrassnt.
It was only after the al was over that Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
As they were dispersing, Professor Lin called out to Shen Yan.
“Professor Lin.”
“I’d like to speak with you alone for a mont before I return to Beijing.”
“Mr. Qi, I’ll speak with Professor Lin for a mont.”
Qi Si looked like he wanted to say sothing, but Shen Yan quickly walked toward the interior with Professor Lin.
Qi Si’s intent to co in and get her after fifteen minutes was swallowed back.
Professor Lin and Shen Yan entered a lounge alone, and before saying anything, he smiled first: “He really cares about you.”
Shen Yan felt sowhat shy: “You must find it amusing, Professor Lin.”
“Your happiness is a great matter for our research institute. Without family concerns, you can focus more on your research,” Professor Lin said.
“Is there sothing going on with the research institute?” Shen Yan asked, interpreting his remarks as an indication of a problem at the institute.
Professor Lin hastened to reassure her: “No issues, I just wanted to ask when you will be returning to continue your research with us.”
“Of course,” Shen Yan replied.
Professor Lin breathed a sigh of relief: “With your word, I can rest easy.”
Ever since they failed to contact Shen Yan the last ti, they had been sowhat anxious.
Now with Shen Yan’s commitnt, he knew she wouldn’t leave the research institute easily.
“If there’s nothing else, Professor Lin, I’ll take my leave…”
“Wait, no rush—let him wait a few more minutes,” said Professor Lin, his gaze still teasing.
Facing Professor Lin’s jesting look, Shen Yan felt a bit uncomfortable, “I’m not in a hurry.”
“Regarding the incident that occurred over two months ago, the research institute has already re-addressed it…”
Hearing this, Shen Yan thought of Shen Feng and others, her expression turning slightly solemn.
