Chapter 182 - 182: Vague Jealousy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting diagonal rays into the office, enveloping a man and a woman who stood facing each other, like a frozen painting.

After a while, Quan Banting spoke, “Seventh Brother has been acting recklessly, and 1 apologize on his behalf.” He lowered his head and nodded sincerely.

The fact that the Sixth Lord, who held a high position, was willing to lower his status to this extent showed that Lushen held significant importance in his eyes.

Shen Wan avoided this gesture and asked calmly and rationally, “Can Sixth Uncle guarantee that this will be the only time, and it won’t happen again?”

“…1 can’t.”

Shen Wan chuckled at his blatantly stubborn response. “So if the Seventh Lord repeats his actions, and I can’t reach you in time, should I just sit idly by and let him show me why the flowers are so red through his actions?”

“No.”

She raised an eyebrow.

Quan Banting said, “You can promise him by handing over the bracelet.”

“Sorry, the Ares Tears is a gift from my brother.”

“So?” His gaze turned heavy, his eyes sharp as a knife.

Shen Wan smiled lightly. “I can’t bear to part with it.”

Of course, this statement was a lie. However, until she understood Shen Qian’s true intentions, she couldn’t decide whether to keep or give away the bracelet.

But she couldn’t reveal her concerns to outsiders, and with Quan Banting pressing her, she had no choice but to make up an excuse on the spot.

For some reason, as soon as she spoke, Shen Wan felt a sudden drop in temperature. Quickly, goosebumps covered both her arms.

She looked at the working air conditioner suspiciously, retrieved the remote control from the drawer, and raised the temperature by two degrees.

“Is it that hard to part with it?” Quan Hanting sneered.

Shen Wan couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind his smile, but that didn’t stop her from pretending to understand. With a calm gaze and her voice steady, she replied, “Sixth Uncle is indeed understanding.”

Inadvertently, she indirectly affirmed Quan Banting’s statement.

She intended her words as a compliment that also conveyed her stance while subtly flattering him. However, the outcome was quite the opposite. The faint smile on the important figure’s face quickly vanished after those words, transforming into an emotionless expression that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who beheld it.

Did she say something wrong? Shen Wan questioned herself inwardly.

“It seems that you, Miss Shen, are quite adept at handling things. Even your half-brother from another mother was swayed by you. Giving away a bracelet worth several million without hesitation, you’re really generous to a fault!”

Quan Banting’s words carried an underlying meaning, but that didn’t mean she would tolerate unrelated individuals tarnishing her reputation. She responded calmly, “Sixth Uncle, please manage your own brother and prevent him from causing trouble unnecessarily. As for the Shen family’s private affairs, you needn’t concern yourself.”

The temperature dropped another two degrees, and an eerie silence spread between them.

“I’ll ask one more time, are you giving the bracelet or not?” Quan Hanting spoke coldly, his imposing presence fully unleashed.

Now, Shen Wan finally understood why everyone spoke of “Sixth Lord” with such reverence. The overwhelming aura of aggression that emanated from him made even someone like her, who had lived for two lifetimes, shiver with fear, and she entertained thoughts of escaping.

Gathering her composure, Shen Wan avoided the man’s overly intense gaze and parted her red lips, saying, “No… I’m not giving it.”

“Haha… very well!” Quan Hanting chuckled coldly, closing the distance between them. With a slight tilt of his head, his thin lips were now close enough to touch the smooth and full forehead of the woman.

Shen Wan stood her ground, her eyes seeming as vast as distant snowy mountains, displaying calm and openness.

She wasn’t afraid, she was fearless, and she had become resolute to the point of indifference..
