After all the guests had left, Han Xin and Li Shulian returned to the Li family home.

The next morning, Shen Xuan was woken up by a phone call. She barely managed to lift her head, feeling weak and listless all over.

Cheng Lu, who was beside her, was also trying to wake up. The two of them struggled to sit up in bed and both looked very uncomfortable.

"Oh my god, I really went wild last night and drank way too much!"

Cheng Lu rubbed her temples, her face pale, and complained.

Shen Xuan ran her fingers through her hair, but her head was still spinning.

"Xiaolu, your phone is ringing."

The ringtone on the bedside table sounded particularly jarring in the quiet room.

Cheng Lu fumbled around for a while before finally getting her phone, but the other person hung up before the call could connect.

Shen Xuan picked up her phone and looked at it; it showed a lot of missed calls.

Among them was a WeChat message from Guan Chengxin:

"Hey girl, you dumped all this work on me while you went off to have a good time?"

A few hours later, he pressed again, "Where are you now? Take this call, I'll come pick you up."

There was another message the night before: "Young Master Li has been waiting for you at the company for a long time, where did you go?"

The most recent message was posted not long ago: "...Reply now, or I'll call the police on you!"

Looking at the information on the screen, Shen Xuan felt even more overwhelmed.

How much did he take from Li Siyuan to be so concerned about her safety? Doesn't she even have a chance to rest?

She replied, "I'm fine, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at Cheng Lu beside her, who was actually sleeping soundly.

"Xiaolu, didn't you say you were going to visit a client with Yinxuan? Why are you still fast asleep?"

Cheng Lu suddenly jumped up from the bed, as if she had been electrocuted.

"Yeah, why hasn't Yin Xuan come to find me yet!" She glanced down at her watch, her expression instantly changing.

Shen Xuan pulled back the covers and got up. Cheng Lu looked at her back and said, "Wait a minute, why are we in bed?"

She quickly got out of bed and went to the living room, only to find that the wine bottle was gone, and there was no trace of alcohol left.

Shen Xuan's phone rang; it was a WeChat notification. She glanced at it and saw it was from Guan Chengxin.

"The second young lady is back. She didn't go back to the Shen family. Do you want to interfere?"

She was speechless upon seeing this message.

Why is Shen Feiyan returning to China at this time? Is it for some man?

She fell into deep thought, unaware of Cheng Lu's incessant nagging beside her, and walked out of the bedroom.

She found Shen Feiyan's phone number and dialed it, only to discover that the number had been cancelled.

Helpless, I sent a WeChat message: "Have you gone back to China yet?"

At this moment, Shen Feiyan was sitting on the sofa in Lu Shuli's office. She glanced at the message she received and then turned off her phone.

Lu Shuli entered the room and saw her, then frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for you to come for the interview."

"Go home, I don't need your help."

Shen Feiyan turned her face away, her cheeks slightly flushed: "I don't want to go back to the Shen family, I want to be by your side... as your assistant."

Lu Shuli was slightly taken aback. Seeing her face turn red, he stepped forward and asked seriously, "You really want to be my assistant? Why?"

Shen Feiyan looked at him and found him more and more handsome, her face turning even redder.

"To be an assistant, you need to be able to drink, socialize, solve all sorts of problems, and... please others. Can you do it?"

"I..." she hesitated, her face flushed.

"Let me try……"

Seeing her shy expression, Lu Shuli suddenly reached out and pressed down on the edge of the sofa, leaning slightly towards her, and said gently, "Let's start now."

The sudden intimacy made her heart race and her cheeks flush.

Looking at the girl in front of her, Lu Shuli couldn't help but think of Shen Xuan. Her expression changed slightly. Then she straightened up, took a few steps back, and said calmly, "Go back. The Shen family is where you belong. This place is not suitable for you."

Shen Feiyan gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, looked up at him, and said earnestly, "I like you, Young Master Lu. Can I be your girlfriend?"

He paused for a moment, then took out a cigarette and lit it. "What do you like about me?"

"I really like you and want to be your girlfriend."

Shen Feiyan stood with her hands behind her back, her voice tinged with a lack of confidence.

Lu Shuli turned her head and glanced at her, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Looking at this young girl, I really couldn't muster any interest.

He thought to himself that if Shen Xuan had said this to him, he might not have been able to resist the temptation and would have been willing to accept it.

But the way this little girl spoke to him felt completely different.

“I don’t like little girls like you. You should go home and wait a few more years until you’re as old as your sister.”

Lu Shuli didn't realize how hurtful her words were; she only saw Shen Feiyan's eyes instantly redden.

Feeling humiliated by the direct rejection of her feelings, Shen Feiyan covered her face with her hands and rushed out of his office.

Lu Shuli frowned, wondering why she would compare this little girl to Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan waited for a long time but did not receive a reply from Shen Feiyan, so he dialed the phone number that Lu Shuli had called the day before yesterday. He hesitated for a while before dialing.

When Lu Shuli called, she answered immediately.

"Miss Shen answered the phone so quickly, were you waiting for my message?" he asked.

"Lu Shuli, what do you intend to do to my sister?" she asked calmly.

Cheng Lu was washing her face outside the door when she heard the noise from inside. She came out with her face still covered in soap suds and took a look.

After Shen Xuan subconsciously reminded her, she turned around and went back to continue washing.

"It was your sister who came to me on her own initiative. Don't you want to know what she had to say to me?"

"I don't want to know. Please stay away from her. My sister is still young and doesn't want to be affected by your bad intentions."

"Shen Xuan, please watch your words. Your sister told me herself that she likes me and wants to be my girlfriend. However, I really have absolutely no interest in a girl her age. Please take her back and discipline her properly, so she doesn't try to seduce every guy she sees."

Lu Shuli was furious and quickly hung up the phone, her face extremely ugly.

If it weren't for Lu Yuchen's warning, why would they have taken Shen Xuan and the Li family seriously?

Even after hanging up the phone, Shen Xuan was still worried about Shen Feiyan's safety.

"Xiaolu, my sister is back, I'm going to go see her."

He then left the bedroom without lingering for long.

Cheng Lu applied some lotion and glanced in her direction. "Feeling better? Do you still have the energy to deal with Li Siyuan if you run into him outside?"

"I feel much better. Thank you for drinking and chatting with me."

She packed her backpack and then picked up her car keys from the shelf by the door.

"Xiaolu, I'm leaving now!" She peeked out.

Cheng Lu replied from the other side of the wall, "Okay, be careful on the road!"

Shen Xuan got into the car, pondering for a long time, still wondering where Shen Feiyan could be going.

Finally, she simply returned to the Shen family home, wondering where else she could go in Jiangcheng besides her home.
