Shi Nian got out of the blanket and saw Chi Beichuan standing next to her with a bag of fruit in his hand. She looked at Mu Sichen and said, "Chi Beichuan will stay. You guys can go out first!"

"No!" When Mu Sichen saw Chi Beichuan, he immediately blocked in front of Shi Nian as if he was guarding against a wolf.

Shi Yi grabbed Mu Sichen's arm and said softly, "Chen, since Mr. Chi is accompanying us, let's go out first."

She gave Mu Sichen a comforting look behind Shi Nian's back. Mu Sichen nodded, "Alright, Nian, call me if there's anything."

The door closed and the two people in the room fell into silence.

Shi Nian scratched her head and asked casually, "Is your company doing well?"

"Yes."

"Is your family doing well?"

"Yes."

Shi Nian was at a loss for words. She suddenly realized that Chi Beichuan was a topic terminator.

Since the formalities were over, she should be able to...

"Mr. Chi, I want to rest."

"Do I want to throw it away after using it?" Chi Beichuan suddenly leaned close to Shi Nian and breathed in her ear in an ambiguous tone. His voice was as gentle as a lover's whisper.

Shi Nian felt an electric current strike her body, and her heart kept beating.

He moved closer to her and carefully looked at her face. "Hmm... Nian's face looks better if you blush a little."

Because she had been hospitalized for a few days, she did not look well. Her face was pale and pale. Now that her face was flushed, she looked much more lively.

Shi Nian covered her burning face and turned her head away in shame and indignation. "Mr. Chi, please behave yourself."

He did not say anything and sat on the side and started peeling peaches.

"Mr. Chi, leave this here. The nurses will come later." She really couldn't afford to let the dignified Chi Beichuan peel peaches for her...

"I don't want to borrow other people's hands for your matters." As he spoke, he increased the speed of his hands. Not long after, an exceptionally clean and even peach was handed to her.

She took the peach and took a bite. "Mr. Chi, why are you looking for me?"

"To marry you."

"Bang!" The peach fell to the ground.

Shi Nian's mind went blank. Time seemed to have stopped. It took her a long time to find her voice.

She raised her head and looked at Chi Beichuan. His expression was still the same, cold and aloof. It was as if the two words she had just heard were just an illusion.

Shi Nian looked at Chi Beichuan for a long time with a serious expression on her face. She seriously suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

"My conditions are not bad. You don't have to look like you are ready to die." He picked up the peach on the ground and threw it into the trash can.

Shi Nian touched her face. Was her expression that tragic just now?

"Are you still going to eat the peach? I'll peel it for you." As he spoke, he picked up the peach, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he winked at her. His dark eyes were as deep as pools of water, but there was a unique warmth in his smile.

Her heart was pounding. She lowered her head and counted the times she had known Chi Beichuan. "That... Mr. Chi, we've known each other for less than two hours..."

The implication was that it was ridiculous to invite someone you had only met for less than four hours to get married!

"Hmm..." He frowned and thought for a while.

"It's too slow. I should have married you before Mu Sichen."

Shi Nian almost bit her tongue when she heard this.

"But at that time, Nian was still young. I wanted to wait for her to grow up." He smiled meaningfully, and his gaze fell on Shi Nian. His eyes were even more dazzling than the noon sun. When he looked at her, his gaze was gentle and did not contain the slightest bit of aggression.

She looked into his eyes and suddenly remembered that she had seen the secret in his heart. Just as she was about to ask why, she suddenly heard a scream from outside.

"Someone jumped off the building!"

Shi Nian was not a bystander, but when she was alone with Chi Beichuan, she did not know what he would say that would frighten her. Compared to that, she felt that it would be good to watch the show.

"I'll go and see what's going on outside."

"I'll accompany you."

He reached out his hand to help Shi Nian up the stairs. His arm blocked the crowd that also wanted to watch the show and rush up the stairs to prevent others from bumping into her.

On the rooftop.

The peasant's eyes were red, and he was in a state of great agitation. He looked at the crowd, which was growing larger and larger, and, like a desperate drowning man grasping at straws, he told his story: "The man in front of us is in charge of my construction work! I fell off a shelf when I was doing something, and they didn't pay me for my medical expenses! My wife was a cook in there, and when she was alone the beast came to her and insulted her with money and made her play with him for a few days! [Otherwise, he would accuse her of being dirty and kick her out! We were really forced to do nothing!]

The farmer's words were sincere, and many people looked at the fat contractor with disdain.

"No way! He even cheated the farmer's money! This is his living money!"

"Which company is this? How shameless!"

The contractor's face was flushed red as he pointed at the migrant worker. He was so angry that he couldn't finish his sentence. "I... Our Imperial Group won't do this... this kind of..."

His voice was quickly drowned out by the accusations of the crowd.

The mood and rhetoric of the migrant workers affected many of the people present. Many of them were people who had left their homes to work.

"We'll accompany you to talk to the manager of the Imperial Group!"

Chi Beichuan suddenly said, "There is no need to look for the manager. Just tell me."

"Who are you?" The man turned around to look for the person who had spoken. When he saw Chi Beichuan, his face turned pale.

"Qi Bei..." The man stopped before he could even say Chi Beichuan's name.

When everyone heard those two words, the image of a man subconsciously appeared in their minds. A cold feeling spread from their heels to their entire bodies, and all the blood in their bodies seemed to freeze.

Just the name of T City was enough to make people tremble in fear. That person was probably the only one who would retreat!

Everyone looked back in fear. They didn't know if it was because the aura of a man was too strong, but those who wanted to defend the migrant workers immediately shut up.

The first to break the silence was the migrant workers, "Can the rich bully others?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately went into an uproar. They echoed one after another, but their voices were clearly much smaller than before.

Chi Beichuan's expression did not change in the face of everyone's questions. His ink-black eyes were cold, and his low and cold voice slowly sounded, "I will be responsible for what our employees have done..."

"Wait! Chi Beichuan!" Shi Nian suddenly said. She reached out and grabbed his sleeve to stop him.

Chi Beichuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's better to investigate the matter clearly! We can't just look at the surface. I believe in this supervisor."
