Lu Yuchen stood there stunned for a moment, then grinned, the knot in his heart untied.

Shen Xuan returned to her apartment and sat quietly on the sofa.

She sat there until evening when Lu Yucheng returned. Standing at her door, he was conflicted. Knocking felt wrong, but not knocking didn't feel right either.

The raised hand ultimately failed to make the doorbell ring.

Then, he turned and walked to his room, opened the door and went inside.

Shen Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the door next door close.

She then got up from the sofa, intending to go out for some fresh air.

As soon as I opened the door, I found someone standing there.

Shen Xuan quickly raised her hand, wanting to close the door again.

"Ah Xuan!" He hurriedly stopped the door from closing.

"Did you need something from me?" she asked expressionlessly.

"Um, are you still angry with me?"

"Lu Yucheng, are you really sure you want to pursue me? Aren't you afraid Li Siyuan will come after you?"

"Yes!" he replied earnestly.

Shen Xuan stared at him, her eyes momentarily dazed.

For some reason, looking at his handsome face, she was somewhat worried that she might accidentally hurt him.

Although she and Li Siyuan had no connection whatsoever, it was indeed quite difficult for her to suddenly accept the kindness of another man.

Lu Yuchen frowned slightly, a hint of embarrassment in his voice: "Um, I'm sorry, I went too far this afternoon...!"

"Forget it, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore!" She waved her hand and responded casually.

It was as if the matter had truly been wiped clean.

Then, she leaned against the door frame and said, "You can go now. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Then, she raised her wrist and carefully closed the door.

Lu Yuchen stood at the door, hands in his pockets, facing the door, silent.

……

Inside the airport.

As soon as Cheng Lu stepped out the door, Shen Xuan immediately went up and hugged her tightly.

A large group of people followed behind her, but because the group was so large, she had already moved away from the crowd and slipped out from the side.

Behind him, a group of reporters surrounded a well-known celebrity, conducting an on-site interview.

"Xiao Xuan, are you alright?"

Cheng Lu came to her side and pulled her away from the crowd.

Shen Xuan gently touched her forehead and said with a smile, "What could possibly be wrong?"

In the sunlight, her face was exceptionally beautiful; even dressed in a simple shirt and jeans, she was more eye-catching than those around her.

"Hey ladies, are you planning to stand here forever?"

Yin Xuan drove up and stopped less than five meters away from them. He leaned out of the car window and shouted, "Let's go, it's my treat to dinner!"

Cheng Lu dragged her suitcase over and put it in the trunk. Shen Xuan had already opened the car door and gotten in.

On the way, the two people in the back seat kept talking about the recent events.

The car was filled with a harmonious atmosphere.

Yin Xuan would occasionally glance at the passengers behind him through the rearview mirror and sometimes join the conversation.

Shen Xuan leaned against the car window, her expression slightly solemn.

Yin Xuan seemed to notice that Shen Xuan hadn't been in good spirits lately, so he asked, "Xuan, President Lu has been taking good care of you these past few days."

Clearly, Yin Xuan had heard some of the rumors about her and Lu Yuchen at the company.

Cheng Lu raised an eyebrow at Shen Xuan, gazing at her profile, then reached out and cupped her cheek, saying with a smile, "Xuan, darling, have you been hiding something from me lately? Tell me quickly."

Shen Xuan smiled and moved her hand away, feeling both touched and amused by this sudden act of concern.

"I haven't hidden anything from you."

"Really?" she asked Shen Xuan.

"I also heard that President Lu made you his assistant?"

Upon hearing these words, Shen Xuan instantly felt relieved.

She initially thought that Cheng Lu was asking her this because she knew about Lu Yuchen's confession to her.

Shen Xuan nodded reluctantly.

Sitting in front, Yin Xuan couldn't help but interject: "Xiao Xuan, what happened between you and our CEO Lu? I heard this morning that everyone in the company was talking about you and CEO Lu living together."

"What's going on?" Cheng Lu asked, looking surprised.

Did he stay in your room?

Shen Xuan looked slightly embarrassed by the question.

Yin Xuan interjected again, "Are you stupid? If a man and a woman are sharing a room, how could they possibly stay in your own room?"

"Wow, Xiaoxuan, you're pretty good! You know how to attract guys now."

The two of them talked back and forth, and the more they talked, the more outrageous it became. Shen Xuan sat there helplessly with a bitter smile on his face.

"Why would our beautiful Shen need to make a move? She only needs to stand there and plenty of people will line up to pursue her. She doesn't need to take the initiative."

"Yin Xuan, shut up!" Shen Xuan glared at him and said.

"Xiaolu, it's not what you think."

Cheng Lu responded, "Okay, no need to explain."

She then quickly took out her phone and dialed a number.

Shen Xuan frowned.

"I'll arrange a meeting for you right now."

"Xiao Lu, no, no..." Shen Xuan quickly reached out to grab the phone.

Cheng Lu suddenly burst out laughing.

Shen Xuan grasped her phone, only then realizing that Cheng Lu was joking.

"Xiaolu, you..."

Cheng Lu took back her phone and smiled knowingly.

Shen Xuan looked at her innocently, unsure how to explain.

The car came to a smooth stop in front of an upscale restaurant.

Cheng Lu got out of the car first and led Shen Xuan into the restaurant, while Yin Xuan went to park the car.

A waiter approached and said, "Hello, are you Ms. Cheng Lu?"

"Yes."

"Miss Cheng, please come with me."

The two were led into a private room.

Shen Xuan sat on one side, and Cheng Lu sat on the other side, fanning the heat rising from her neck with her hand.

"Xiao Xuan, I have some good news to tell you when I get back this time. I'm planning to open a studio. Do you want to come and help me?"

"Of course!" she agreed without hesitation.

"Xiaolu, you won't leave again now that you're back, right?"

Compared to working under Lu Yuchen, she actually preferred to work with Cheng Lu.

"Well, I probably won't be going abroad anytime soon, and my parents are very supportive of my business and are willing to invest."

The waiter brought over the menu, and the two chatted casually while looking at it.

"Does President Lu know about this?" Shen Xuan asked in a muffled voice.

Cheng Lu said, "That's the purpose of inviting President Lu here. I'll tell him about it later."

"You even made a special trip to meet him?"

Shen Xuan was taken aback. Recalling Lu Yuchen's words and that kiss, she felt somewhat awkward facing him.

Noticing her nervousness, Cheng Lu looked up at her and asked, "Are you and President Lu really not together?"

"No!" she replied, sounding slightly guilty.

Soon, Yin Xuan and Lu Yuchen followed the usher into the private room.

"Have you decided what you want?" Yin Xuan asked as he took off his coat and sat down.

Lu Yuchen remained confident as he leisurely walked into the private room.

Shen Xuan handed the menu to Yin Xuan: "You decide!"

She then sat down next to Cheng Lu.
