Sima Yue couldn't drink much. After two glasses of wine, she couldn't tell east from west. In the end, Xue Kai had to coax her back.

As soon as Xue Kai and Sima Yue left, the originally lively atmosphere seemed to become much quieter.

Wen Lu also spoke less. Apart from occasional brief exchanges with Lin Yumeng, most of the time she either silently picked up the wine glass and drank it all, or stared with empty eyes at the group of young people singing and dancing in the audience, her eyes never falling on Sima Han from beginning to end.

Lin Yumeng felt that they should be given some space to resolve the misunderstanding, so she pulled Fu Beichen up and said, "Wenlu, it's getting late. We have two children waiting for us at home. Let's go back first and meet again next time."

When Wen Lu heard this, she turned around, put on a forced smile, and nodded slightly at them.

"Okay, be careful on your way back."

Lin Yumeng originally wanted to ask Sima Han to send Wen Lu back, but then she thought that they were already in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and even if she didn't say it, Sima Han would be reluctant to let her go back alone.

As soon as they left, the surroundings became even quieter. Wen Lu remained silent, just mechanically repeating the action of drinking, while her eyes continued to stare at the group of people partying below the stage.

No matter how lively the audience was, there was never a smile on her face.

Just as she was about to pick up the bottle to pour wine again, Sima Han suddenly reached out and grabbed the bottle.

"Lulu, let's talk."

Sima Han's voice was low and magnetic, but at this moment it was mixed with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

Wen Lu loosened her grip and put down her wine glass, a cold smile on her lips: "Fourth Master, is there anything we can talk about?"

These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Sima Han's heart. He felt a sharp pain in an instant, and even breathing was accompanied by severe pain.

He knew that he was watching her too closely, but he was a man, how could he not understand men?

The man said that they were friends, but the loving look in his eyes every time he looked at her could not hide his true intentions.

"Lulu, I admit it's my fault. I shouldn't be so overbearing. But that guy clearly likes you, so I won't allow him to get even a little bit closer to you!"

Sima Han's expression was more serious and earnest than ever when he said this. Wen Lu looked at him with gritted teeth, wishing she could hit him on the head with a wooden fish.

"I'm not a fairy, how can everyone like me?"

Sima Han frowned and said solemnly: "Lulu, you don't understand, the way he looks at you is full of love, he likes you."

Wen Lu took a deep breath and felt her head swelling. She had clearly explained everything to him before, but he still refused to believe it, which made her very annoyed.

"I've already told you that my senior has a girlfriend! And last time, he even brought his girlfriend to meet me. We even had dinner together. Why do you have to imagine that?"

They had quarreled several times because of him. Wen Lu felt exhausted both physically and mentally, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

They were the ones who were going to get married and live together, so why did he have to drag others into this? She felt like she couldn't understand him anymore.

Sima Han was hurt by her disappointed look, and his heart ached.

Wen Lu lowered her head, a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "Sima Han, the reason you are so strongly opposed is that you don't trust me enough."

Sima Han immediately shook his head. No, he believed her, he just didn't trust that man. Wen Lu's carefree personality made her never think about how deep that man's scheming was, but he was indeed an obstacle between them.

"Lulu, I believe you, but his so-called girlfriend is just a false front, a pretext he deliberately created to get close to you."

Wen Lu found these words ridiculous. "Fourth Master, is this what you believe? Don't think everyone is so dirty, and don't think everyone likes me. I'm not RMB, I don't have that much charm."

Sima Han felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his heart. He spoke in a calm tone, "Lulu, in my heart you are the best girl. Don't belittle yourself. You deserve all the best."

Sima Han's words made Wen Lu pause, and a throbbing surged in her originally cold heart.

She had always known Sima Han's feelings for her, and she was also deeply in love with this outstanding man. However, even if she liked him, she always believed that even if they loved each other, it did not mean that they had to sever normal contacts with other opposite sexes.

Everyone needs to have their own social circle and friends. She thinks that as long as she keeps a proper distance from friends of the opposite sex, it will be fine. However, he doesn't seem to think so, otherwise he wouldn't have directly taken action to suppress his senior's company.

Her senior came from the countryside and it was not easy for her to get to where she is today. The hardships she experienced are hard for others to imagine.

He could achieve his current success entirely through his hard work, step by step, and down-to-earth efforts. Now, because of Sima Han's suppression, all his hard work and efforts were about to be wiped out. How could Wen Lu just sit back and watch?

She went to Sima Han to persuade him to stop, but they parted on bad terms. Out of guilt, Wen Lu secretly gave some money to her senior to make it up to him, after all, it was all because of her.

But not only did he not accept it, he comforted her instead, which made her feel even worse.

Wen Lu, exhausted both physically and mentally, leaned back weakly. She slowly raised her head and closed her eyes to prevent him from seeing her eyes filled with tears.

She didn't speak for a long time because she didn't dare to speak, fearing that her hoarse voice would betray her inner emotions.

She loved him, loved him very much, loved his thoughtfulness, loved his domineering but not aggressive attitude, loved how he considered everything for her, loved how he only had her in his heart...

However, she didn't like him using his power to oppress others, nor did she want his senior's life to be ruined because of her.

Sima Han couldn't bear to see her so heartbroken. Seeing her like this, his heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of steel needles, causing him unbearable pain.

"Lulu, let's not quarrel anymore, okay?" Fu Beichen said softly, stretching out his arms and holding her tightly in his warm and broad embrace.

He had come to realize that if he continued to insist on his previous hardline attitude, he would probably only push his beloved further away, until he completely lost her. Thinking of this, he decided to change his strategy and find another way to make Wen Lu see the man's true face.

Doesn't he want nothing? Then he can't even think about getting involved in anything!

"Lulu, I immediately ordered people to stop attacking his company. As for the losses he caused before, I will also compensate him in the form of a contract. Do you think this is okay?"

This was the first time Sima Han bowed to her because of his senior's matter. Wen Lu could no longer hold back her tears. She buried her head in his chest, and her sobs reached his ears, making his body tremble uncontrollably.

"Lulu, don't cry. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I will never be so stubborn again."

After a while, Wen Lu raised her head. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, Sima Han felt extremely distressed and leaned over to gently kiss her eyes.

Wen Lu hugged him tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Ahan, I'm also wrong in this matter. Apart from work matters, I will try to stay away from him when I go out with friends. You know that the only person I like is you, and he is just my senior. This will never change. I hope you can trust me more."

Sima Han nodded vigorously and held her hands even tighter, as if he wanted to merge her into one with his body.

Wen Lu hadn't drunk so much alcohol in a long time. Before, because she was still angry, the alcohol didn't seem to reach her head so quickly. Now that she relaxed, she felt a little unclear and dizzy. When she looked at Sima Han, she felt like there was a triple shadow.

She slowly stretched out her slender and fair hands, gently held Sima Han's handsome face, and slowly approached him with drunken eyes.

Her breath was filled with the rich aroma of wine, and she spoke in a vague but affectionate voice, "Ahan, I love your eyes. They are like deep lakes, making me want to drown in them. And your nose, tall and straight like a mountain peak. And your mouth, with its slightly upturned corners, always reveals endless tenderness and charm..."

Listening to her drunken words, Sima Han felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but slowly approach her and responded softly in a low and charming voice: "As long as you like it, it's all yours!"

When Wen Lu heard this, her drunkenly flushed cheeks instantly blossomed into a smile as brilliant as a spring flower. She slowly extended her right index finger and gently touched the tip of his nose, pouting coquettishly, "You said that, didn't you?"

Sima Han smiled slightly, then nodded solemnly and replied: "Yes, I said so."

Wen Lu chuckled and kissed him directly with her lips. Kissing was a very common thing in a place like a bar, so it was not surprising to see it.

Although Wen Lu's mouth smelled of wine, Sima Han still found it sweet and delicious. Her lips were as soft as chewy jelly, making him unable to let go.
