After entering the book, I no longer want to be a substitute

If it weren't for the familiar red color that attracted Shen Que's attention, he thought he would not have walked towards the flower stand and would not have seen the scene in front of him.

I thought he was sad because he was abandoned, but it turns out he was sneaking away to a place where no one was around to do this.

How come he didn't know before that Yunxiu was so brave and liked Shiyu so much?!

Shen Que raised his eyelids and met the gaze of the man holding her.

Shi Yu curled the corners of his lips and smiled brightly, but the curve at the end of his eyebrows was clearly full of ridicule and dissatisfaction.

Shen Que's eyes instantly ignited with anger, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be able to burn everything in front of him to ashes.

But after just a moment, he took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered the magma surging in his eyes.

The clenched teeth slowly relaxed, the facial muscles were tense, and the lines were cold and hard as if they were cut by a knife.

He tried his best to suppress the urge to rush over and beat someone up, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists at his sides, his knuckles turning white.

Shen Que was so depressed that he felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a cold breath, and a low voice was squeezed out from between his teeth:

"You two seem to be in good spirits."

Yunxiu glanced at him sideways, the look in his eyes full of disgust.

When she rushed over, she nodded, indicating that he should ignore such people, as it was boring.

Shi Yu's state is relaxed and natural, which contrasts sharply with Shen Que's gloomy and agitated performance.

Most of the time, it is difficult to tell whether Shi Yu is happy or angry from his expression. He has always been good at hiding his emotions and will not easily show his thoughts on his face.

"My girlfriend and I can do whatever we want. I'm afraid Mr. Shen won't be so lenient, right?"

As soon as his girlfriend said those words, Shi Yu immediately felt a piercing pain.

He remained calm, holding Yunxiu in his arms and finishing the rest of his words lightly. The system accused him of not confronting the hero of the book head-on, but he didn't want to pay any attention.

Shen Que focused his gaze on Yunxiu's face. He could not see any guilt or fear on her face. Instead, he only expressed approval and support for the man beside him...

He laughed so hard in anger that his voice trembled. He didn't know whether he should feel pity for Yunxiu now.

"Shi Yu, there's something you might have forgotten. I'm going to remind you today. As a man with a fiancée, it's inappropriate for you to casually date a girlfriend outside of your home."

Seeing Yunxiu's face stiffen for a moment, Shen Que did not feel the sense of satisfaction after being exposed. Instead, he felt a blockage in his chest and a sudden pain for no reason.

It seems that she really doesn't know.

Shi Yu said softly, "Fiancée? I didn't realize that Mr. Shen has quite a lot of gossip. How come I didn't know he had a fiancée?"

As he finished speaking, Yunxiu beside him raised her head and looked at his profile. Shiyu's gaze also turned to Yunxiu's face. Her voice was slightly hoarse, but her tone was firm and pure:

"Don't waste your breath on him."

"I believe you."

Shen Que, who was feeling complacent just a second ago, froze completely in place after hearing Yun Xiu's words, standing there motionless like a sculpture.

His mention of this matter not only did not serve to provoke others, but instead allowed him to witness Yunxiu's rock-solid trust in Shiyu.

So who is he?

She didn't even question it, and just told everyone not to pay attention to people like him. Did she believe Shi Yu?

Shen Que found it hard to accept and stepped back repeatedly, his back slamming against the pillar. The pain could not help him recover from the huge sense of disappointment.

Shi Yu gently stroked Yunxiu's cheek with his palm, his eyes revealing an indescribable love and tenderness.

"I know you believe me, but I still want to tell you again, I only like you."

"As for the fiancée he mentioned, I will explain it to you when I get back."

Shi Yu held Yun Xiu's hand and left from the other side of the path. The two of them only cared about each other and didn't look at Shen Que again.

Not until they completely disappeared did Shen Que finally sneer in that direction:

"Even if there's no Gu Luoshuang, what about Yunwu? You don't have any feelings for Gu Luoshuang, but you must have some connection with Yunwu, right?"

Pei Siqian followed his elder brother around to toast, but he didn't see Shi Yu and Yun Xiu after searching every table.

He called, but no one answered. Finally, he learned from the housekeeper that Shi Yu had left the old house with Yunxiu very early, and they were probably almost home by now.

Pei Siqian was extremely upset and took out his cell phone to bombard Shi Yu with text messages.

Unfortunately, Shi Yu muted his phone and temporarily blocked him. He had expected him to be so stingy.

Somewhere on the roadside, Shi Yu stopped the car and looked carefully into Yunxiu's eyes under the light of the street lamp.

He told her that the person Shen Que mentioned was named Gu Luoshuang, and his main activities were in S City.

The Gu family does not have many industries locally. Their roots are in the neighboring province of Dongguan, which is also where they started their business.

Gu Luoshuang's grandfather was his former teacher, and played an initial enlightening and guiding role in his later proposal of the Holmes formula.

His only granddaughter, Gu Luoshuang, is not very interested in mathematics. She has talent but is unwilling to put in the effort to study it in depth. She is keen on being an actress and is determined to become a top actress in the entertainment industry.

The teacher has always wanted to bring him and Gu Luoshuang together, hoping that the two of them can end up together.

However, neither side had that intention. They had a good relationship originally, but ever since Mr. Gu and Shi's father proposed the marriage, they always felt awkward and unnatural when getting along with each other.

Shi Yu doesn't have any affection for Gu Luoshuang, and Gu Luoshuang only treats Shi Yu as a friend. Besides, the type of person she likes has nothing to do with Shi Yu.

Later, Mr. Gu became seriously ill. Fearing that he would never recover, he tried his best to persuade Shi Yu to marry Gu Luoshuang.

Although the Shi family did not like to force things, they still tried to persuade Shi Yu for the sake of face.

Shi Yu did not agree at first because he did not want to go against his own wishes and deceive others.

But as time went by, Mr. Gu's illness became more and more serious, and he even refused to take medicine and cooperate with treatment.

Gu Luoshuang knew that he was in a difficult situation, so she suggested that the two of them pretend to agree to the old man first, and then persuade him properly after he recovered from his illness.

Even so, he still didn't agree.

He consulted a doctor, who said that the old man's health was not that bad at all and that he was just pretending to have many of the symptoms.

At that time, he was eager to verify whether the cloud theory was correct, so he went abroad without paying attention to these things.

Who would have thought that during this period, Gu Luoshuang also went abroad to film a movie.

The Gu family lied to Mr. Gu, saying that the two of them were in love abroad. This person finally underwent surgery and, regardless of the Shi family's consent, spread the news of their engagement everywhere.

He and Gu Luoshuang, one was studying mathematical theory in the easternmost part of M Country, and the other was filming a movie in the westernmost mountains of M Country, and they had never met each other.

After he returned to China, he bought trending searches, invited reporters to do exclusive interviews, and presented various evidences to prove that he had no contact with Gu Luoshuang in Country M.

Engagement is out of the question.
