After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 78: Chapter 078: I Will Fulfill My Duties Chapter 78: Chapter 078: I Will Fulfill My Duties The next morning, Shen Yan flew straight back to Shen City.

Just as she stepped out of the airport, a large group of fans surrounded her, drawing envious glances.

The sudden fanfare almost scared Liu Su into drawing a weapon to counterattack.

Relieved to see that the crowd was made up of Fireworks fans, he promptly maintained order at the scene with Xiao Zhao.

“Yanyan! My girl! Auntie loves you a lot!”

“Yanyan! Yanyan!”

“Everybody, don’t crowd around, don’t make Yanyan uncomfortable.”

“Is Yanyan just back from filming out of town? Yanyan, are you tired?”

Shen Yan: “…”

She looked at the group of women who were barely older than she was, surrounding her and showing concern, somewhat in a daze.

“Oh my god! Yanyan looks so cute when she’s distracted! Just like my daughter!”

“Yeah! I never imagined the real Yanyan would be even prettier than on screen. Her skin is so white and delicate, I really want to touch it!”

Shen Yan: “…”

“Yanyan must be tired after her flight, everyone make way.”

At that voice, everyone automatically stepped aside, clearing a path for Shen Yan to pass through.

A wry smile tugged at the corner of Shen Yan’s mouth.

This kind of spectacle, she really couldn’t handle it.

Had she even done anything to deserve such adoration?

Shen Yan didn’t even understand why her fans were doing this.

But faced with such a scene, her feelings were incredibly complex.

“Uncle Liu, it’s not easy for everyone to come, please make some arrangements for them,” Shen Yan noticed several who seemed to have traveled from afar, probably without even a place to stay sorted out.

Some had been starving and waiting here for hours, unsure about which flight Shen Yan would take or when she’d land.

They had sprinted to the airport without a meal, just to wait for Shen Yan.

“You all shouldn’t do this in the future, it’s not worth it,” Shen Yan voiced out her thoughts.

When she said this, she truly believed she wasn’t worth such actions.

She wouldn’t even do this for her own beloved daughter.

“Yanyan, you are worth it!” Several fans shouted excitedly.

Shen Yan tried to persuade them a few more times to disperse.

Seeing the fans reluctant to leave, Liu Su had Xiao Zhao escort Shen Yan out first, while he stayed behind to arrange for the fans’ food and lodging.

Shen Yan got into the car, and as the driver started the vehicle, they left the airport.

Through the rear-view mirror, she could still see a few fans chasing after them.

Xiao Zhao was somewhat excited, “Yanyan, now the fans are spontaneously coming to the airport for you, it means you’re really going to be a big hit!”

It was only a matter of time!

Shen Yan, however, frowning slightly, asked, “Do fans often do this sort of thing?”

“It’s one way fans show their love; there will be more of these kinds of things in the future!” Xiao Zhao contrasted this spontaneous gesture with the recent trend of celebrities spending money to organize fan groups for airport pick-ups, a world of difference in love and intent.

Shen Yan fell silent for a moment before saying, “They don’t truly like me as a person. If one day I fall from grace, I’m afraid they’ll become even more terrifying than haters.”

Xiao Zhao’s face changed, “Stop! Stop! Stop! Yanyan, you’re in the limelight now. Don’t talk about collapsing. That’s not something to joke about!”

Shen Yan offered a noncommittal smile.

Xiao Zhao was dropped off at the company’s assistant dorms, and Shen Yan then proceeded alone with the driver to the villa.

As she entered the door,
Shen Yan immediately sensed a familiar, chilling presence, unmistakably Qi Si’s.

The servants, seeing Shen Yan, hurried over to take her suitcase and whispered, “Miss Shen, Mr. Qi has returned.”

Amused by the servants’ deferential behavior, Shen Yan thought Qi Si wouldn’t bite anyone.

She thanked them and walked towards the glass doors of the back courtyard, pushing them open to see a tall figure standing with his back to her.

He had taken off his jacket, with the sleeves of his white shirt rolled up slightly, revealing powerful wrists.

After finishing a sentence on his phone, he turned around.

His eyes were deeper and colder than the first time they had met.

Perhaps the person on the other end said something that made the chill around him even more pronounced.

“I understand,” he coldly uttered before hanging up.

The two of them locked gazes across the short distance.

The intensity of eye contact was as strong as ever.

Just one look at Qi Si,
The word “cold-blooded” immediately came to mind.

He was like a heartless killing robot, simply standing there could terrify you into a frantic mess.

But in Shen Yan’s world, when it came to cold-bloodedness, no one could surpass her biological parents.

Without blinking an eye, they sent her to hell—that was the epitome of cold-hearted ruthlessness.

“You’re back.”

Shen Yan looked at him, trying to make conversation.

Qi Si nodded indifferently.

It was evident that he was not in a good mood.

Or rather, with that deadpan face of his, no one could tell whether he was in a good or bad mood.

Shen Yan didn’t care much: “I heard from Uncle Liu that there was some trouble with the Qi Family.”

Qi Si’s gaze turned icy as he stared at her.

“You’re not hurt, are you?”

Shen Yan asked somewhat mechanically.

The frost in Qi Si’s eyes thawed a little, “It won’t involve you.”

“I’m not worried about that,” Shen Yan said, seeing he did not wish to discuss it, she turned around and changed the subject, “I have already discussed with Uncle Liu that I will not neglect my studies anymore. I will go back to school to register in the next few days.”

Qi Si just stood there, watching Shen Yan’s figure. No emotions, happy or angry, could be discerned from his icy expression.

Not even a slight flicker in his eyes.

Whether Shen Yan continued her studies or not truly had nothing to do with him.

Liu Su followed in after her, clearly sensing the somber atmosphere between the two and tried to find something to say to lighten the mood.

Qi Si, walking into the living room, spoke first: “I will visit the Qi Family tomorrow.”

It wasn’t clear whom he was addressing; both Liu Su and Shen Yan turned to look at him simultaneously.

Qi Si’s icy eyes turned to Shen Yan.

She paused, uncertainly asking, “Do you want me to go back with you?”

Liu Su’s eyes lit up and he quickly said, “The family would definitely hope Mr. Qi would bring Miss Shen back with him. Should I make some preparations?”

Qi Si glanced at Liu Su and said in a cold voice to Shen Yan: “There’s no need. On the day you register back at school, I will fulfill my obligation.”

With that, he went upstairs.

He didn’t care whether the people behind him understood or not.

Fulfill his obligation?

What obligation?

As smart as Shen Yan was, even she couldn’t decipher his meaning at that moment.

She could only turn to look at the equally puzzled Liu Su.

Liu Su cheerfully said: “Mr. Qi means to personally take Miss Shen back to school on the day she returns to school!”

Shen Yan: “…”
Was that really what he meant?

Had she analyzed it correctly?

Reassured by the confirmation, Liu Su happily went to make preparations.

As for what he was preparing, only he knew.

With nothing else to do, Shen Yan simply went upstairs.

Standing in the hallway, she glanced at the room to her left and faintly heard the sound of conversation coming from inside.

Busy with business!

Shen Yan rested until dusk before getting up, just as the maid came up to call her for dinner.

The maid didn’t dare to call the person in the room to the left, so Shen Yan took it upon herself.

Just as she knocked on the door, an icy voice came from inside, “What is it.”

Shen Yan paused, then said, “Mr. Qi, dinner is ready, we’re just waiting for you.”

“Click.”

As the door opened, Shen Yan was immediately hit with the chill emanating from Qi Si, taking a half-step back.

Raising her head, she saw his ice-cold eyes.

Shen Yan frowned slightly.

What, did someone upset him?

The two stood, inside and outside of the door, looking at each other for a long time.

Qi Si said coldly, “I don’t want to have dinner.”

Shen Yan turned first to go downstairs, then something crossed her mind—she stopped at the bottom of the stairs, turned, and looked up at him: “I wanted to confirm with you, Mr. Qi, about what you meant earlier by fulfilling your obligation. Were you saying you’ll take me back to school yourself?”

Qi Si replied, “Yes. Is there a problem?”

“No, nothing. Just wanted to clear it up so I don’t embarrass myself by reading too much into it later,” Shen Yan walked down as she spoke.

Qi Si, following step by step, focused his gaze on her.

A flicker of confusion sparkled.

The woman before him had changed too much.
