Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

Shi Ying lived on a low floor, but after waiting for several minutes, the elevator seemed to be stuck on a high floor, so she simply took the stairs home.

Just as she passed the corner on the third floor, she felt as if a dark shadow flashed past behind her, and Shi Ying turned around in fright.

There was no one behind her, and she thought she was seeing things, but before she could exhale, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck.

"Ugh..." Shi Ying's vision went black, and she slid limply to the ground.

A tall, burly man emerged from the shadows and forcefully led the dizzy girl downstairs.

Shi Ying still retained a sliver of consciousness, but her eyelids seemed glued together. She was being half-carried, half-embraced by the man as he led her outside. She vaguely heard his voice explaining to passersby:

"My girlfriend has had too much to drink, I'm taking her back to my place."

The moment she was put into the car, Shi Ying completely lost consciousness.

Naturally, Shang Chenyan, who followed closely behind, was not seen either.

Shang Chenyan saw a strange man leave the residential area with Shi Ying and immediately drove after them.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly with one hand and took out his phone with the other: "Jiang Wen, north on Qingshan Road, license plate xxxx, black SUV, have someone intercept it."

Jiang Wen didn't understand why, but he immediately carried out the order.

The black car drove towards the elevated road in the suburbs, and Shang Chenyan followed closely behind. He quickly caught up and, with a "bang," he controlled his force to crash into the rear of the SUV.

There wasn't much traffic on the elevated highway at night. Other cars automatically kept their distance when they saw the rear-end collision. The people in the SUV were caught off guard by the impact and had to hold on to the steering wheel tightly to prevent the car from going out of control.

"Was that guy in the back doing it on purpose?" The man with the buzz cut who was driving glanced at the rearview mirror. "He's been following us the whole time."

The man in black who had taken Shi Ying hostage sat in the back seat, a red mark on his head from hitting it. He spat and looked at the still unconscious Shi Ying: "We were discovered so quickly?"

"Keep going, hurry up."

After being hit, the SUV did not slow down but instead accelerated forward, deliberately heading towards the lane with heavy traffic. Shang Chenyan's eyes darkened instantly, and he pressed the accelerator hard to keep up with it.

The man with the buzz cut kept glancing in the rearview mirror: "Damn, is this guy crazy?"

As they entered the tunnel, Shang Chenyan seized the opportunity to accelerate and overtake the SUV from the side. His car squeezed through and crashed into the front of the SUV, forcing it to a stop.

The two people in the SUV were dizzy from the impact, and even Shi Ying was brought back to her senses by the violent jolts.

Before the two could react, Shang Chenyan had already gotten out of the car, strode over, opened the car door, dragged the buzz-cut man who was driving out, and threw him on the ground.

He strode forward and kicked him hard in the head, sending the man flying and crashing into a tire.

The other man in black reacted and tried to escape by opening the car door. Shang Chenyan was furious. He grabbed the man in black by the collar, dragged him up and threw him to the ground. He then kicked him in the stomach. The man in black's back hit the edge of the tunnel and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that the two of them were lying on the ground groaning and couldn't run away anytime soon, Shang Chenyan went back and carried Shi Ying out of the car.

Shi Ying tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids only parted slightly. She smelled a familiar scent with a woody fragrance that made her feel inexplicably at ease.

She vaguely heard an alarm, and a gentle male voice in her ear: "It's alright, don't be afraid."

Jiang Wen also arrived with his men at this time. He stayed behind to deal with the two, while Shang Chenyan took Shi Ying into another car.

"Have the doctor come to the villa."

*

When Shi Ying woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside.

The blanket covering me was warm, the bed beneath me was soft, and a faint floral fragrance filled the air.

She opened her eyes and looked at the room, which was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, and didn't react for a moment.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and a small head squeezed in.

"Niannian?" Shi Ying opened her mouth, her voice low and hoarse.

Shang Nian ran in carrying a small porcelain bowl, leaned over the bed, blinked her big eyes at her, and handed the bowl to her.

Shi Ying smelled the sweet aroma of the rice porridge. She turned her head to look and saw that the bowl was indeed still steaming.

She rubbed her temples, propped herself up to sit up, and looked around.

This is Shang Chenyan's home, the room she slept in last time.

Shi Ying took the bowl: "Thank you, Niannian. Where's your dad?"

Shang Nian pointed to the window.

"The garden downstairs?"

Shang Nian nodded.

Shi Ying shook her head, and the only memories she had from last night came flooding back: she had been kidnapped and then rescued by Shang Chenyan.

She's a good citizen, who would kidnap her?

Shi Ying slipped on her soft slippers, walked to the window, and drew back the curtains. Sunlight streamed in, and she saw Shang Chenyan in the garden, dressed in casual home clothes, his back to her as he made a phone call.

Shi Ying felt her hem being tugged, and when she looked down, she saw Shang Nian pointing at the bowl of porridge.

"Did Niannian bring me this food specially?"

Shang Nian nodded.

"Thank you, Niannian."

Shi Ying didn't have much of an appetite, but she still sat by the bed and drank the bowl of porridge. It was hot and sweet, and even an ordinary bowl of porridge tasted exceptionally delicious.

After finishing her meal, she put on her coat and went downstairs.

Shang Chenyan happened to walk in from outside.

"Awake?" The man put down his phone, strode forward, and casually patted her head. "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Shi Ying shook her head, her voice somewhat dazed: "What happened yesterday? Before I even got home, someone drugged me at the stairwell, and then I don't remember anything. When I woke up, I was in your house..."

As she spoke, she sniffed and inadvertently looked down at her pajamas.

pajamas?

She looked at Shang Chenyan.

Receiving her suspicious look, Shang Chenyan was about to speak when Zhang Ma came out of the kitchen: "Mr. Shang, lunch is ready."

When Shi Ying first saw the nanny at his house, she immediately felt like she deserved to die! He had kindly saved her, and she suspected him of taking advantage of her vulnerability to change her clothes.

Fortunately, Shang Chenyan didn't say anything. He pulled out a chair for Shi Ying at the dining table and waited for her to sit down before saying, "Last night, someone tried to kidnap you. I happened to see them when they brought you out before I left, so I chased after them in time."

Shi Ying felt a chill run down her spine: "Who's trying to harm me?"

She's a good citizen, who did she offend?

Shang Chenyan frowned: "Xia Qian."

"Who?" Shi Ying had never heard of this name before.

"The person who hit you in the car when you came last time." Shang Chenyan looked at her. "I'm sorry, I dragged you into this. Because of what happened last time, I dealt with the Xia family's company. She was desperate and decided to target you."

Shi Ying thought back for a moment and realized that it was that arrogant woman in the car who had accused her of not watching where she was going.

"This... I can't blame you..." Shi Ying pursed her lips, still feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, Shang Chenyan took her home last night; fortunately, he didn't leave immediately; fortunately, he was willing to save her.

"Anyway, you helped me last night."

Shang Chenyan tightened his grip on the chopsticks slightly; his Yingying was always so soft-hearted and understanding.

"I will definitely handle the Xia family's affairs well, but I'm a little worried about you living alone for a while, so why don't you move here?"

"What?!"
