After entering the house, Lu Yuchen glanced at Shen Xuan quickly and saw that she was as usual, as if nothing had happened, and was focused on studying the menu. He breathed a sigh of relief.

After ordering a few simple dishes, the atmosphere in the private room became lively again.

After Cheng Lu expressed her thoughts to Lu Yuchen, he did not force her to stay. However, when he mentioned that Shen Xuan would be traveling with her, he hesitated for a moment.

He gazed at Shen Xuan's beautiful face, a nameless sorrow welling up in his heart.

Then, he said helplessly, "Okay."

After all, he had known Cheng Lu for many years and was also familiar with Shen Xuan, so he naturally wouldn't force them to stay.

But it's clear that Cheng Lu's sudden departure from Xuanmao was entirely to sever her ties with a certain man.

The ambiguous relationship between her and Zhao Ziyin seemed to be something only he could see through.

When An Zihao accompanied Han Xin in from outside, he inadvertently noticed Shen Xuan sitting in a private room. Her radiant smile made Han Xin feel a pang of jealousy.

Divorced women are indeed different; they are always surrounded by all sorts of men.

"Let's go, Xin Xin, this has nothing to do with you!" An Zihao put his arm around her shoulder, frowned and glanced at Shen Xuan, then led her away.

Li Siyuan raised his hand to look at his watch, then lowered it impatiently.

Yan Anxun, who was standing next to him, joked, "What's wrong? Got a sore on your butt? Can't sit still?"

Li Siyuan glared at him and sat there silently.

Peng Yanzhou took a sip of his drink and interjected, "Li Siyuan is so anxious because he can't see his little fan."

Li Siyuan retorted, "Can't you two stop bringing up my shortcomings all the time?!"

Then, he stood up agitatedly.

Just as Han Xin entered the room, she saw his back as he was about to get up and leave, and quickly called out to him, "A Yuan, where are you going?"

"Why are you only arriving now?" Li Siyuan suppressed his displeasure, clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

He had never waited for someone so patiently before.

If it weren't for the fact that it was her birthday today, and that Yan Anxun and Peng Yanzhou were both there, he wouldn't have waited so patiently.

"I just went to the restroom and was delayed for a while. I'm sorry, A-Yuan, for keeping you waiting."

"Hey, you're such a big star, aren't you afraid Li Siyuan will get jealous if you follow your little fan around like this every day?"

Yan Anxun's words were like rubbing salt in the wound, extremely disheartening.

An Zihao glanced at him expressionlessly: "I've watched Xin Xin grow up since she was little. She's like my little sister. Have you ever seen a brother who doesn't protect his own sister?"

“Come on, let’s order!” Li Siyuan interrupted directly.

He wasn't particularly interested in joining their conversation, as long as Han Xin didn't find it annoying.

Han Xin's gaze lingered on Li Siyuan's calm face, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart.

In truth, she understood that Li Siyuan no longer loved her as much as before, and seemed to have grown tired of her.

The thought of Shen Xuan stirred up resentment in her heart.

She recalled Shen Xuan chatting and laughing freely with another man in the next private room, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Then, as if remembering something, she walked over and gently pulled his arm, suggesting, "Si Yuan, I forgot my phone in the car. Could you come with me to get it?"

"Where is it? I'll have Jiang Yu bring it up for you!"

Li Siyuan grabbed the phone from the table and immediately prepared to make a call.

Han Xin quickly stopped him: "I have the car keys too. It's so inconvenient to wait for him to come up and get the keys first before we go get them! Si Yuan, why don't you come with me?"

Unable to resist her persistent pestering, Li Siyuan reluctantly got up from the sofa and walked outside.

An Zihao, who was standing to the side, witnessed this scene and felt a strange sense of oppression in his heart.

He wore only a striped shirt, paired with a blue tie and silver silk trousers, making him stand out wherever he went.

As Han Xin passed by the private room, she glanced inside and found it to be completely empty.

Shen Xuan and Lu Yuchen were waiting for their car in the underground parking lot.

The wind was strong today, blowing her long hair around.

She rubbed her hands together to warm them, and Lu Yuchen handed her a beige scarf at the right moment.

Shen Xuan first looked at the thing he handed her, then looked at his face.

"No need," she said calmly.

But Lu Yuchen simply wrapped the scarf around her neck and carefully tied it for her.

The two smiled at each other until the scarves were completely tied.

The elevator doors opened not far away, and Han Xin, arm in arm with Li Siyuan, stepped into view.

Because of his position, Li Siyuan took a few steps before he could see the silhouettes of the two people in front of him.

After Lu Yuchen straightened the scarf, he gently placed his hands on Shen Xuan's shoulders, and she said "thank you" to him.

Lu Yuchen gave her a light hug and then fell silent.

Li Siyuan stood there, staring at them with a slightly fixed gaze.

From this angle, the deep affection between the two and the emotions hidden in their eyes are immediately apparent.

His heart suddenly tightened, and complex emotions surged in his eyes.

For some reason, the scene struck him as unusually jarring.

Han Xin, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She walked directly to a pink sports car in her high heels and unlocked the door with her key.

A barely perceptible smile flickered across her lips as she glanced through the car window, then rummaged around on her seat for a while before finally finding her bag.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Lu arrived in Lu Yuchen's car and quickly parked it in front of the two of them.

Since Lu Yuchen had drunk a little alcohol, Cheng Lu had to be the driver. Yin Xuan's residence was relatively remote, so they called a designated driver for help.

There was a slight delay while tidying up Yin Xuan's car. When Cheng Lu arrived in her car, she immediately noticed that Shen Xuan had an extra scarf around her neck.

Shen Xuan gently moved the shoulder that was leaning against him, opened the car door with a slightly embarrassed expression, and sat directly in the passenger seat.

Cheng Lu witnessed this scene, her face still bearing a knowing expression.

Li Siyuan kept a straight face throughout, his heart filled with indescribable bitterness.

Han Xin walked slowly in high heels, one hand still rummaging in her bag, seemingly putting something in, her expression as calm as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go!" She naturally took his arm, as if everything was normal, and dragged the ashen-faced Li Siyuan toward the elevator.

Li Siyuan recalled the scene of Shen Xuan standing with other men, and the anger in his heart was hard to quell.

He clenched his fists, trying hard to suppress his dissatisfaction.

If it weren't for Han Xin's birthday, he would never have let her leave so calmly.

After returning to the small apartment, Shen Xuan followed Cheng Lu into her bedroom only after Lu Yuchen went to his own room.

Shen Xuan sat down on the sofa, while Cheng Lu, biting into an apple, looked around and scrutinized her closely.

"Tell me, what exactly happened? So when did you two start hooking up?"

The tone was like that of an interrogation.
