Lilith was stunned for a moment, her eyes became dangerous, and she asked coldly: "What do you mean?"

Looking up at Lilith, Si Wen said in a relaxed tone, "You know what I'm talking about. You can continue to play dumb. You'll be punished horribly anyway, and it won't be me."

Staring intently at Si Wen, Lilith wondered what this guy was up to. Rolling her eyes, she suddenly smiled and asked, "Hey, you're not interested in me, are you? That's why you came up with such a lame excuse to hit on me?"

Glancing at Lilith with amusement, Si Wen said, "Sorry, my taste isn't... that special yet."

Seeing that Lilith was about to get angry, Si Wen quickly laughed and said, "I was just joking. You're not serious, are you? With such a charming woman like you, there will definitely be a long line of guys wanting to date you. There's no need for me to make up the numbers."

Although Si Wen said something to make amends, Lilith still couldn't let it go. She said coldly, "Just say what you want to say. I don't have time to play guessing games with you here!"

"Of course we have to talk, but let's talk while we eat. I haven't had lunch yet." After saying that, Si Wen didn't care about Lilith's reaction, and reached out to call the waiter and ordered two seafood pasta sets.

Lilith was a very picky person and would always have many requirements when ordering. But this time, before Lilith could explain to the waiter herself, Si Wen had already arranged it for her.

Staring at Si Wen with her beautiful eyes, Lilith asked unkindly, "How do you know my preferences? Are you secretly investigating me?"

"If I want to cooperate with you, I have to show some sincerity," Si Wen said, resting his chin on one hand and showing a charming smile. "Don't you think that the relationship between us has eased a lot since we first met?"

"How come I didn't notice?" Lilith turned her gaze to the white roses on the table and asked, "What exactly did you mean by what you just said? Did you hear any rumors from somewhere?"

Just as Si Wen was about to say something, he saw the waiter coming over with two set meals, attracting all of Si Wen's attention.

Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, Si Wen didn't bother to say anything and started to eat.

Seeing Si Wen wolfing down his food, he seemed to be extremely hungry. Lilith did not urge him, but just sat opposite him and watched quietly.

Si Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief when the plate was empty. He drank another glass of iced lemonade and said contentedly, "Well, the food in this restaurant is really good."

After saying that, Si Wen seemed to realize that Lilith across from him hadn't eaten anything. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why aren't you eating? These are all your favorite foods."

Lilith folded her arms across her chest and stared coldly at Si Wen, "How can you have an appetite to eat when you're being plotted against?"

"How can this be considered a plot? I'm just kindly reminding you," Si Wen said with a smile, wiping the corner of his mouth elegantly with a tissue. "After all, we're allies now, and I don't want you to be taken advantage of without knowing it."

"You remember me as your ally now?" Lilith said sarcastically, "Why didn't you show up when I needed you?"

"Because I thought you could handle the Xiao family's affairs independently, but the results were disappointing, so I had to come forward to assist you." Si Wen said righteously, "Speaking of which, you are really stupid. Of all the people to choose, you chose Zhang Kaifeng as your ally. Aren't you pushing yourself to death?"

Lilith's eyes widened as she stared at Si Wen and asked coldly, "How do you know this?"

"Instead of wasting time pondering useless things, it's better to think of a reason to convince Xiao Jincheng to show some leniency towards you." Si Wen leaned back leisurely and smiled, "It's not difficult to investigate your affairs. If I know this information, then Xiao Jincheng will know it too. If he gets hold of something against you, what do you think you'll gain? I'm afraid that everything in the Xiao family will be gone from you."

Lilith shook her head in disbelief and muttered, "Impossible! My preparations were flawless. Grandpa couldn't possibly have discovered it! Are you making up these excuses just to use me?"

"If you want to think that way, there's nothing I can do. Anyway, I know your secret now. If you help me, I will tell Xiao Jincheng everything about you!"

Damn it, it turns out this man was just cheating me!

Looking at Si Wen's handsome face with a wicked smile, Lilith really wanted to go up and tear it apart!

Glaring at Si Wen fiercely, Lilith said, "It's not that easy to frame me. You don't have any evidence at all! Grandpa can't possibly doubt me just because of your one-sided story. After all, I've been by his side for so many years, and he still trusts me!"

"If it were before, you were indeed Xiao Jincheng's most trusted person. But now everything is rewritten!" Si Wen said, shaking a recorder with a smug smile. "I don't have direct evidence, but I have recorded what you just said. Isn't that evidence? Let me guess, how will Xiao Jincheng react when he discovers your betrayal?"

Lilith stood up suddenly, she really wanted to shoot this shameless bastard to death!

"Hey, don't get angry. I don't want to use this trick until the very end." Si Wen said with an innocent look, "I also hope that we can cooperate calmly. After all, we have the same goal, don't we?"

Lilith knew that the guy in front of her was very difficult to deal with. Getting angry would not solve any problems at all. It would only allow Si Wen to take advantage of the situation and get more leverage over her.

Thinking of this, Lilith took a deep breath, frowned, and asked, "What on earth do you want to gain by going to such great lengths?"

His pupils slowly tightened, like a dangerous leopard, and Si Wen said sinisterly: "Leave Xuan'er in the Xiao family and never let him return to Lin Yuqing!"

Lilith was surprised by this answer and asked again, "What good will it do you?"

"Because I want to eliminate everyone around Yuqing one by one! That way, Yuqing will belong to me alone!"

When he said this, there was a desperate madness in Si Wen's eyes, which was completely different from his previous happy and sunny image.

"What's so good about that woman that you two are willing to die for her?"

"Yuqing naturally has her strengths. You don't need to ask too much, because even if you knew, you couldn't learn it."

Si Wen's words made Lilith feel very embarrassed. She snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, who wants to learn from her? That disaster star only brings disaster to others. Only you can protect her from being a treasure! Don't blame me for not reminding you, anyone who comes into contact with Lin Yuqing will be unlucky!"
