inister smile playing on his lips. His aura suddenly shifted, becoming incredibly sharp and menacing. It was a complete contrast to his languid and relaxed demeanor just moments ago, leaving people fe...Li Xuexuan was quite shaken this time. When she arrived at her doorstep, she was still leaning against Shen Qiong's arms, sobbing softly.

The originally cute and delicate face had lost its color, the thick eyelashes were wet with tears, revealing a hint of vulnerability.

Distress, heartache, and self-blame welled up inside her, yet she wouldn't let him near. He wasn't even allowed to comfort her.

He was at his wit's end, patted He Chao on the shoulder, signaling him to get out of the car.

Two people got out of the car, one lit a cigarette, and leaned against the hood, smoking slowly.

After finishing a cigarette, he turned his head back to the car and said to He Chao: "You contact Shen Lue, tell him about it, and ask him to give Xuen a call."

It's heartbreaking to have the woman you love comforted by another man. He's never felt so pathetic in his life, but what can he do He loves her, and all he wants now is for her to be happy again.

He finished speaking and walked away.

He was surprised by Yu Li's change, it wasn't like the Yu Li he knew. Watching that figure disappear further and further away, he took out his phone to call Shen Lue.

It took a long time for the phone to be answered. He Chao and Shen Lue briefly explained what had happened.

Shen Yue didn't care about Li Xueshuan's well-being, but considering that Li Xueshuan was implicated because of her sister, he still called her.

"Are you okay"

The moment Li Xuexuan received Shen Lue's call, she was stunned.

After all, he was so disgusted with her that he even blocked her number. To her, receiving Shen Lue's attention was simply a fantasy.

However, at the moment her wish came true, strangely, she was not as excited as she had imagined.

"I'm fine."

Li Xuexuan sniffed and said again, "Thank you for your concern."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going then."

The call was abruptly cut off.

Li Xuexuan listened to the blind sound in her ear, perhaps she was used to Shen Lue's indifference. She didn't feel any loss, but his call did dispel a lot of fear in her heart.

She put her phone away, wiped her tears, and comforted Shen Qiong: "Qiong, I'm much better now, you don't need to blame yourself or worry, I'll be fine after a nap."

When Shen Qiong heard her say this, though she felt guilty, she still nodded. "En."

"Then I'll go in."

Li Xuen opened the car door and looked around. She didn't see that annoying guy, so she retracted her gaze and turned to go inside, head down.

Yù Lí stood at a distance, his tall figure lost in the night. Seeing Lǐ Xuěxuán enter the house, he sent a message to Hé Cháo, saying that he would go back later and asked him to send Shěn Qióng home.

After He Chao finished reading the disheartening message, he went to open the passenger door and then carried Shen Qiong out of the trunk.

Shen Qing was messaging Qian Fei when she was suddenly picked up. She froze, looking at He Chao's handsome profile, her heart pounding like a drum. "What are you doing" she asked him.

"Of course, the girlfriend should sit in her designated seat."

Ge Chao had a faint smile on his lips. After finishing his words, he hugged Shen Qiong and walked towards the passenger side, putting her inside, fastening her seatbelt, closing the door, and getting in from the other side.

A white Mercedes drove towards the Summer Palace.

Inside the car, the scent of amber incense permeated the air.

Outside the car window, the city's neon lights shimmer and change.

For everything that happened tonight, until now, Shen Qiong still had a feeling of unreality.

Suddenly, a warm feeling of being embraced enveloped my hand.

"Don't want to end today, what can I do"

A warm voice came from beside her, Shen Qiong turned her head to look. The man held the steering wheel with one hand, and the other held her hand in his palm.

His hands are very beautiful, with distinct knuckles and fair, elongated fingers.

However, the exposed arm was like a gracefully lurking leopard, muscular and powerful, making it impossible to underestimate.

Her gaze slowly lifted, from the man's arm to his Adam's apple and then to his profile. His jawline was smooth and well-defined, his cheekbones prominent, and paired with that pale blue shirt, there was an indescribable sense of cleanliness and elegance about him.

Shen Qiong couldn't resist such an excellent and charming man, especially since she had secretly loved him for three years. Her eyes were infatuated as she looked at him and honestly said, "I don't want to either."

Biting her lip, she whispered again, "Now my parents don't watch over me as much as they used to. I can even sleep out occasionally."

Ge Chao rubbed her soft little hand, without speaking.

Shen Qiong looked at him with a hint of nervousness. It was over, wouldn't Dr. He misunderstand her as someone very casual

She regretted the words she had just spoken, explaining, "I didn't mean it like that. I was just..."

"I just don't want to be apart from you, I know, and I feel the same way too."

He took her words, the car stopped at a red light.

He gently pulled her closer, kissing her lips softly and whispering, "I was just thinking, if we spent the night together, would I have enough self-control"

He looked at her flushed face, a flicker of fire ignited in his eyes under the neon lights. “Regrettably, I find I don’t,” he said, “I want to be responsible for your life, so, no rush, let’s take things slow.”

His voice was even and slow, coming out of his lips and tongue little by little, light yet mellow, listening to it actually made one want to kiss...

Shen Qiong stared at his sexy lips for a few seconds, her face flushed, before averting her gaze. "En."

Two hours later, a white Mercedes stopped at the Shen family villa.

He Chao unbuckled his seatbelt and walked over, gently kissing Shen Qiong's cheek. "If you miss me, just give me a call. You can also video chat on WeChat. But first, take my number off your block list and verify my WeChat friend."

Shen Qiong: "..."

Because of her misunderstanding, Dr. He's number is still on her blacklist, and she and Dr. He haven't added each other on WeChat to this day.

That's outrageous!

She took out her phone, lifted the incoming call block, and opened WeChat. A friend verification popped up, and she immediately clicked "Pass." "Alright, then... I'll get off"

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver your motorcycle to you tomorrow."

"Good."

Both of them got out of the car together. Ge Chao stood in front of the car, watching Shen Qiong enter the house before getting back into the car and leaving.

-

Lord's Manor.

A man stood alone at the doorway, his hollow eyes fixed on the long road ahead.

Cold, white streetlights cast down, his tall and thin figure, revealing a hint of loneliness and melancholy.

When Mu Xing arrived by car, this was the scene that greeted him.

She slammed on the brakes, and before she could even get out of the car, the man strode over. A soft smile played on his stern face. "Yan Yan, you're finally here."

Mu Xing looked up at him and asked, "How long have you been waiting here"

"I'll be waiting for you here at five, Yan Yan, I…"

Before the man could finish his words, Mu Xing slammed on the gas pedal and drove straight into the manor.

A gust of wind swept past, and the roar of the engine faded into the distance.

Fu Lingxiao froze in place, somewhat at a loss. He could only faintly sense that Xing'er seemed to be angry.

He quickly walked back to the main villa. Uncle Wu had already prepared the car at the door waiting for him, "Young Master, Little Muxing went to the medical building."
