The Villain Slaps The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 90

Chapter 90: Love is a Green Light

The button clattered on the floor, and Nie Jia chuckled as it rolled away. In the end, Shi Chen didn't let him linger in the bathroom and came out after setting up the water himself.

The elevator behind them dinged, and Secretary Ye Ying returned with a deformed document in her hands. Entering, she saw Shi Chen leaning on the living room sofa with his eyes closed, and faint sounds of water came from the bathroom.

"Boss." Ye Ying walked over with a stern expression, lit up the screen of her computer, and held it in front of Shi Chen. A suppressed anger filled her as she spoke, "This is Nie Jia's personal information. He is the founder of Sejia Media, the current largest shareholder, and most importantly, his relationship with Lin Haoran... He is now being maintained by Lin Haoran. I think he might have been intentionally sent to you by Lin Haoran."

Shi Chen's tender feelings dissipated after hearing Ye Ying's brief explanation. He opened his eyes and released a chilly and sharp light, "Being maintained by Lin Haoran?"

"Yes." Ye Ying just finished speaking when she heard a furious rebuke, "Nonsense!"

Ye Ying's complexion changed, and for a moment, she hesitated to respond. She had been with Shi Chen for more than ten years, seen him angry, joyful, and sad. Even in front of Shi Lao, where he could only endure grievances and sulking, she had witnessed it all. However, this was the first time she had seen such a sudden and overflowing rage.

She felt a bit at a loss.

She didn't lie; Nie Jia indeed had questionable background. Shi Chen was a person who reflected on himself and wouldn't easily vent his anger on others. Ye Ying knew this well, so she bravely continued, "Time is running out. This information was easily found within a short distance. Lin Haoran has been taking over various businesses of Shi Lao in the past two years. You are his obstacle, and sending someone to you is definitely not for a good reason."

Shi Chen remained silent, casually swiping his fingertips on the screen. Inside were solid pieces of evidence. The relationship between Nie Jia and Lin Haoran didn't require the involvement of his elites; a casual inquiry within their circle would reveal it.

After glancing at the evidence, Shi Chen frowned unhappily, his eyes filled with dark emotions. Lin Haoran, his nephew, was impulsive and domineering. After regaining control of the Lin Family, he unhesitatingly broke his older brother Lin Xian's leg. Despite his ruthless behavior, Shi Chen admired him. However, Shi Chen had no interest in Lin Haoran's ambitious plans. In recent years, Shi Lao had repeatedly urged him to guide Lin Haoran, but he had refused. For this, he had been called back by Shi Lao, only to return with a rash of rashes.

If one didn't know, they would think Lin Haoran was Shi Lao's biological son.

But Ye Ying was not wrong. Although there wasn't much emotional connection between Shi Chen and his nephew Lin Haoran, they hadn't fallen out either. Lin Haoran had grown rapidly, and with the backing of Shi Lao, it was a strategic move to gradually sideline Shi Chen. In this way, Shi Chen, the uncle, became a hindrance. Getting rid of him would be ideal.

But Ye Ying never expected Lin Haoran to be so audacious as to send someone to Shi Chen's bed!

Feeling a surge of anger, Ye Ying heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. She looked up, and Nie Jia, with wet hair, came out. Not finding Shi Chen in the bedroom, he turned back to the living room. Seeing Shi Chen, he smiled, walked over, and said, "Help me dry my hair."

He was wearing Shi Chen's black shirt, revealing only a pair of slender legs. His originally fair and delicate skin was made even more dazzling by the color of the shirt. With steamy eyes and a slightly lazy expression, the once splendid and delicate appearance now revealed a touch of cuteness due to the water droplets on his eyelashes.

Ye Ying took a glance and then deliberately avoided it. Looking like this, it was no wonder Lin Haoran, daring as he was, dared to send him to the boss. Fortunately, she had already exposed him.

Shi Chen didn't know what kind of person Shi Lao was, but she knew that with such an unscrupulous approach to getting close to the boss, the price would be quite severe.

Just as Ye Ying was waiting for the boss to order her to get rid of this person, she saw Shi Chen reach out, pull Nie Jia into his arms, and actually used a towel to dry his hair. He even asked in a low voice, "Have you eaten tonight?"

Nie Jia leaned against him, eyes closed, and said, "No, just drank a lot of alcohol, and my stomach hurts a bit."

Shi Chen's brows furrowed even deeper. He turned his head and gave Ye Ying, who was staring dumbfounded, a glance.

Ye Ying was embarrassed, rummaged through the medicine box, and since Shi Chen only temporarily stayed in this apartment when he returned to the country, most of the preparations in the medicine box were allergy medicines, not stomach medicine. In the middle of the night, she had no choice but to sway her dizzy head to buy stomach medicine... and check a few other things.

Nie Jia noticed the computer casually placed aside by Shi Chen. It was filled with the tortured love affair between "him" and Lin Haoran. Nie Jia felt like he had been force-fed flies, so he raised his hand and threw the computer away.

Then he turned around, rubbed against Shi Chen's palm, and said, "Are you willing to listen to my explanation? Will you believe me?"

Shi Chen, looking at his pitiful appearance like a little dog, chuckled, "I like you very much. If there's anything that can keep you, it's my honor."

He didn't care about the conclusive evidence, nor did he care about the purpose of this sudden appearance. He didn't even care if Nie Jia was sent by Lin Haoran! Shi Chen felt that he was losing his reason, and he shouldn't be so unclear. But if Nie Jia was sent by Lin Haoran, and letting him go or punishing him for driving away Nie Jia was just a thought, he couldn't bear it.

No matter who he was or what his purpose was, he just wanted to cherish him and love him. If one day he wanted to leave, even if it made him sad, he would never stop him, let alone obstruct his will.

He finished speaking with deep affection, and saw the person in his arms stunned for a moment. Then Nie Jia pursed his lips, lowered his head, and his ears blushed quietly.

Nie Jia nestled against the back of Shi Chen's neck, lying on Shi Chen's shoulders. His heart was filled with a tumultuous sweetness. "This report is true. The situation between Lin Haoran and me is a bit complicated. I know people around you might be speculating about my intentions in getting close to you. I do have a purpose—I love you, and I want to be with you."

Shi Chen tightly embraced Nie Jia's waist, his voice fervent by his ear, "Say it again."

Nie Jia, not tired of nibbling on his ear, repeated it over and over, "I love you, I love you, I love you..."

Finally, after being kissed by Shi Chen until his whole body blushed, Nie Jia stopped, gently breathing, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Shi Chen.

When Ye Ying returned, the two were no longer in the living room. Ye Ying tentatively took a few steps toward Shi Chen's bedroom, stood outside for a while without hearing any movement, and then lightly knocked on the door.

From inside, Shi Chen deliberately lowered his voice, "Come in."

Upon entering, Ye Ying saw Nie Jia already asleep, lying on Shi Chen's legs. She placed a box of stomach medicine on the bedside table, observing Nie Jia now devoid of the vigilance and hostility he had earlier. Instead, there was a hint of puzzlement.

"What did you find?" Shi Chen was gently stroking Nie Jia's head, his eyes incredibly tender.

Having been with Shi Chen for more than ten years, Ye Ying knew what to do with just a glance. Buying stomach medicine was clearly following Nie Jia's statement about being filled with alcohol, checking to see who was making things difficult for him.

When she didn't check, Ye Ying couldn't believe that this person had the audacity to send the second-generation elites of Qin City's upper society to the hospital all at once. Did he even know that any one of these people could easily end him? Others aside, even Lin Haoran, who was his benefactor, dared to act. When the young lady arrived in Qin City shortly and the news reached Shi Lao, it would likely result in a bloody scene.

The young lady loved Lin Haoran so much, that even when Lin Haoran broke Lin Xian's leg back then, she couldn't bear to scold him harshly.

Now, he directly let someone break an arm. Ye Ying couldn't help but find it amusing.

After hearing it all, the dark and oppressive emotions in Shi Chen's eyes intensified.

Lin Haoran dared to treat him as a plaything...

"Boss, now that Nie Jia has stirred up such trouble, do you want to keep him by your side?" Ye Ying asked.

Shi Chen responded indifferently, "Call him Mr."

Ye Ying was taken aback and then immediately understood, "Yes. Regarding Mr. Nie's matters..."

Before she could finish, Shi Chen interrupted her, saying, "No need to investigate anything."

Watching the intimate scene between the two, Ye Ying understood, and wisely chose not to say more. She respectfully nodded, "Understood. Alright, then I'll go back."

Not long after, rumors started spreading among the bodyguards around Shi Chen. The boss was dating Lin Haoran's lover.

Tsk, those with brains that didn't work well couldn't immediately figure out what this meant.

On the first day Nie Jia arrived, he found Shi Chen. Finally, he didn't have to anxiously wait for him like in the previous life. The next morning, when Shi Chen woke up, Nie Jia was filled with sweet joy.

He kissed Shi Chen on the face and said, "I'll go to Lin Haoran's place today to get something. He should be in the hospital now. While he's not here, I'll come back early."

Shi Chen, upon hearing this, became displeased. "What thing? Don't need it. We'll buy it again."

"It's a script. Don't worry; I'll buy it." Nie Jia smiled, looked at Shi Chen, who seemed visibly irritable, and only let him go after cuddling in the warm bed for a while.
