Yan Yu got the assurance she wanted, but for some reason, she still felt strange.

He was genuinely worried that something might happen if she continued playing like this.

It's a minor matter if Yan Su gets angry; he can persuade him to calm down.

But if his older brother finds out, things won't be so simple.

Judging from how much his older brother cares about Yan Su, if he knew that Gu Wei was still pestering Yan Su, he probably wouldn't even want that 5% share.

They might even escalate their attacks on her because of this.

But Gu Wei felt that the main reason he said these things was to stand up for Yan Su.

Actually, thinking like Gu Wei is the right thing to do, isn't it?

Yan Yu kept his head down, lost in thought.

It's good that Gu Wei doesn't like Yan Su.

It's fine that Gu Wei doesn't like him.

This coincided with his initial idea that business partners should not be involved in romantic relationships.

Gu Wei treated him as a good friend because of his promise to her, so she has indeed become much closer to him lately.

Perhaps it was because Gu Wei was to his aesthetic sensibilities that her closeness made him somewhat unable to distinguish the boundaries.

She just asked him if he liked her?

Yan Yu had to admit that there was a bit of that, but Gu Wei's behavior instantly brought him to his senses.

He should treat her as a friend, just as she treats him.

After all, they can't have a future together.

Thinking of this, Yan Yu gave a helpless self-deprecating laugh. He had been blinded by his emotions and was not as clear-headed as Gu Wei.

This was a mistake that should never have happened.

……

The car sped along the road, its bright headlights illuminating the dark road clearly.

Inside the car, only a dim interior light was on, and Liang Qing sat in the passenger seat next to the silent Yan Su.

Yan Su's lips were pressed into a straight line, his eyes were fixed on the road, and his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Liang Qing vaguely felt that Yan Su seemed to be forcing her to focus on driving.

Yan Su drove the car into the underground parking garage, reversed and parked the car, and went to the elevator with Liang Qing.

The LCD screen on the elevator indicated that it was gradually descending, and Liang Qing watched intently as the elevator floor numbers changed.

Yan Su stood ramrod straight, but his head was slightly bowed.

When he looked up, he happened to see Liang Qingying's figure reflected on the metal wall panel of the elevator.

She stood quietly, her left hand holding her right wrist, a few strands of hair hanging down her chest.

Beside the metal panel, above the LCD screen, there was a glass edging, on which one of Liang Qing's eyes was reflected.

Yan Su then noticed that her eyes had a hint of amber, which was not noticeable when there was no strong light.

As Yan Su watched, he suddenly felt that Liang Qing had a certain tranquility about her at this moment, which was very different from the flamboyant Gu Wei.

For some reason, Yan Su recalled the time when he first met Liang Qing.

She looks very different now than she did at first.

She used to be quiet, but with a touch of playfulness.

She used to smile, a radiant smile that seemed to dispel all darkness.

She can laugh now, but her laughter now carries a sense of detachment, just like the faint detachment in her eyes.

Her eyes were undeniably beautiful, and all her features were actually quite pretty; this was the first time Yan Su had realized this.

He had never looked at her features so closely before.

Yan Su moved a step to the left without making a sound, reflecting his eyes onto the stained glass on the other side.

He looked into his own eyes, thinking about Liang Qing's eyes just now.

Her eyes were bright, clean, and clear.

Although his eyes were bright, they seemed to be veiled by a layer of mist.

He looked into his own eyes and then thought of Gu Wei's eyes.

Her eyes were more expressive than his and Liang Qing's.

Yan Su closed his eyes for a moment, then stood back in his original spot.

Leonardo da Vinci said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but Yan Su did not believe it.

If this statement is true, then how do you explain that Liang Qing and Gu Wei, who have such beautiful and clear eyes, are both that kind of women?

Yan Su felt as if he were enveloped by a chill, and he coldly mocked those words in his heart.

How can you judge a person's inner qualities by their outward appearance?

The eyes are also part of one's appearance.

"The elevator has arrived at the basement level."

A mechanical electronic voice sounded, and the elevator doors opened immediately.

There was no one in the elevator, so Liang Qing and Yan Su went in one after the other.

There was no air conditioning in the elevator of this building, and Yan Su didn't feel hot but felt stuffy.

While eating and driving, he kept thinking about the interactions between Yan Yu and Gu Wei.

He understood Yan Yu; they were both cold-hearted.

Although Yan Yu couldn't control his desires and would have relationships with women, it was ultimately lust, not love.

But tonight, he was excessively attentive to Gu Wei.

When has Yan Yu ever been so considerate to women?

The worry in his eyes wasn't an act; it was a natural expression.

Yan Su wondered if Yan Yu was deliberately acting very concerned about Gu Wei for the sake of the shares.

But when he thought of Yan Yu's expression, he couldn't fully accept the answer.

"It's dangerous to place your emotions on outsiders."

The words Yan Yu had warned him about last time flashed through Yan Su's mind.

A statement he agreed with.

But what is the person who said those words doing now?

He himself broke his promise...

still is……

He categorized Gu Wei as one of his own...

But why is that person Gu Wei?

Does this kind of woman really have some special charm?

He glanced up at Liang Qing standing opposite him, her head bowed and arms crossed, her thick black eyelashes covering half of her eyes as she lowered them.

Yan Su was suddenly startled.

No, this kind of woman only evoked disgust in him.

He only needs to think of the people who have been hurt because of their insatiable desires, and of himself who was hurt because of that woman's desires.

He was about to suffocate.

"Liang Qing," he suddenly called out to her.

Liang Qing looked up, her expression momentarily stunned, seemingly surprised that he had suddenly called her name.

"Ok?"

"I'm so sorry tonight, I wasn't in a good mood and neglected you. I hope you don't mind."

He had an apologetic smile on his face and spoke very sincerely.

But Liang Qing didn't believe that what he said was the same as what he really thought.

He and she are very similar in some ways; they both wear a mask.

Whenever she sees Yan Su, she feels like she's standing on a stage, and both she and Yan Su are actors on that stage.

Liang Qing disguised herself because her mission required it.

But what reason does Yan Su have to hide his true self like this?

He hated Gu Wei so much that he made no attempt to hide it, and he didn't even care if everyone knew about his disgust.

However, Liang Qing knew that Yan Su hated her no less than he hated Gu Wei.

The only difference was that Yan Su concealed his disgust for her.
