Chapter 194 She has set her sights on Shen Qingyan as her partner

However, when she looked up, she was completely stunned.

"You...you...you're not..."

Ning Yiman was stunned, her eyes wide as she stared at Shen Qingyan, her face full of surprise and uncertainty.

I don't understand how the guy who looked like he was cursing me at noon could turn into the person I want to marry the moment he took off his military overcoat and turned around.

However, she quickly realized what was happening and felt an overwhelming joy.

Meeting Yan Liti at this hotel was already a pleasant surprise for her, but she never expected that an even bigger surprise awaited her!

Seeing Ning Yiman's face filled with surprise and joy, Shen Qingyan merely glanced at her indifferently, and once he was sure there was no danger, he looked away.

He stopped causing trouble and went straight to Qiao Qiao, who was sitting next to the sofa in the room. He bent down and carefully picked her up again.

"Comrade, what are you looking for?" Mo Wenpei initially thought Ning Yiman knew Shen Qingyan based on her reaction.

However, judging from the way Shen Qingyan looked at Ning Yiman, it seemed that she didn't know her at all. Ning Yiman became more and more wary and asked again with patience.

Ning Yiman also came to her senses from the great surprise.

When he looked at Mo Wenpei again, his attitude immediately became much gentler.

She forced a smile and apologized sincerely: "Sister, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. I mistook this man for someone I had a conflict with this morning, which is why I was so rude."

As Ning Yiman spoke, she subtly glanced at Shen Qingyan.

The man had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long limbs. He wore a military green shirt, the hem of which was tucked into his trousers with a leather belt, making his waist appear even more lean and powerful.

Although she only caught a glimpse of Shen Qingyan at the banquet last time, she was deeply impressed by him.

She remembered that the man was very handsome, but he exuded a cold aura, and his powerful presence made people afraid to look him in the eye.

At the banquet, apart from the Yan family, almost no one dared to approach him.

Even she, though she only caught a few glimpses from afar, kept them in her heart from that moment on.

Because none of the men she's dated have ever been like that.

She had dated several men abroad, but none of them were gentlemen. At first, she found it interesting, but gradually she lost interest and felt there was no challenge.

Unlike the man in front of me.

It felt new and full of challenges to her.

She couldn't wait to see what it would be like to see someone so wild and cold, who always had a cold face towards everyone, but was special to her and gentle and considerate towards her.

Just thinking about it made Ning Yiman's heart race.

She felt that even without his privileged background, she would still be willing to date a man like Shen Qingyan!

Not to mention, he also has such an outstanding family background.

Ning Yiman was even more smitten.

Until Ning Yiman's gaze fell on Qiao Qiao, whom Shen Qingyan was holding.

His brows furrowed unconsciously.

Who is this child?

The little girl was so beautiful that she was almost too pretty, even though she looked only three or four years old.

Is it the child of a relative from the Yan family?

She never expected that Shen Qingyan, a man who looked so cold and devoid of any human warmth, would actually hold a child, and in such a gentle way at that.

This made Ning Yiman feel very uncomfortable.

She was unhappy that someone had received special treatment from this man before her, even though the other person was just a little girl who was only a few years old.

These should all belong to her in the future.

Ning Yiman's gaze swept over Qiao Xiaoyun and Mo Wenpei discreetly.

Judging from their old-fashioned attire, it was hard to tell just how close these two were to Shen Qingyan, or what kind of kinship they were.

She knew that the Shen family had no relatives. Old Master Shen had no brothers or sisters, only her cousin's family, who were of the same clan.

Yan Liti was from Kyoto.

It's unlikely that you would have relatives who look so poor.

Ning Yiman did not rashly acknowledge Shen Qingyan as Bi Yatong's cousin.

Because these days, Shen Qingrong and Shen Qingyan caused quite a commotion at the last banquet.

I heard that her cousin's husband was beaten up and hospitalized. Judging from what her cousin said, the relationship between the two families has not yet improved.

She was afraid that revealing her identity too hastily would displease the other party.

He introduced himself to the group as a stranger.

"Hello, my name is Ning Yiman, and I am the tenant of room 218 on the second floor. I am very sorry that I mistook this gentleman for someone else and said some very rude things."

Ning Yiman spoke with a smile, while giving Shen Qingyan a slightly shy smile.

After turning his gaze away, when he met Qiao Xiaoyun and Mo Wenpei, he was once again extremely cheerful and generous.

"How about this, to express my apology, I'll treat you comrades to dinner."

"I know a state-run restaurant in Baoyi City that serves pretty good food. Let me treat you to a meal there. The food at this hotel is a bit lacking."

But after she finished speaking, none of them paid any attention to her.

Mo Wenpei remained wary of her.

Qiao Xiaoyun found her behavior inexplicable.

One minute he's swearing, the next he's introducing himself and even offering to treat everyone to a meal.

As for Shen Qingyan, he didn't give her a single glance, his entire attention was on the daughter he was holding, constantly watching her facial expressions, afraid that he might make her uncomfortable if he wasn't careful.

In this silence.

Upon returning from abroad, Ning Yiman, who considered herself skilled in social interaction, found her smile becoming somewhat stiff and awkward upon seeing the reactions of the others.

Just as she was about to say something more, she saw the child in Shen Qingyan's arms suddenly call out three times behind her.

"Grandma, Sister Jiang, Brother Jiang."

Everyone followed her gaze, including Ning Yiman.

Then Ning Yiman saw the door across the street open.

An elderly man with graying temples and dressed somewhat shabbily led out two children, one tall and one short.

And these two children were the brother and sister who were with the man she had clashed with downstairs earlier.

Although it seemed that the siblings had taken a shower and changed their clothes.

But Ning Yiman wouldn't mistake his impoverished appearance.

As the three approached, Ning Yiman's expression changed repeatedly.

She began to speculate about the relationship between these three people, the man she had encountered earlier, and Shen Qingyan and Yan Liti.

Are they poor, penniless relatives from the Yan family's side?
