After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

"Ah Jian!" Lou Xiao frowned. How could she keep making excuses for Mu Liangyue?

Or was this just her testing the waters, probing her own attitude towards Mu Liangyue?

Lu Sijian yawned: "Alright, it's all in the past now, and we should always look forward."

Lou Xiao looked at her stubbornly: "A-Jian, I won't allow you to risk your life for others again!"

Lu Sijian shook her head vigorously: "I won't."

[What a joke! I'm not stupid. Who could be more important than my life?]

Lou Xiao was completely relieved; he couldn't bear the pain of losing her again.

He looked at her intently and solemnly promised, "Jian, don't worry, I will never pay any attention to Mu Liangyue again. Trust me."

Lu Sijian nodded haphazardly: "I believe you."

I'm so sleepy, so can I go back to the hotel to sleep now?

Lou Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, finding her sleepy appearance both dazed and adorable.

He thought that there would be plenty of time in the future, and he would always have the opportunity to prove to her that he loved only her.

"Jian, I'll take you back to rest."

Lu Sijian's eyes lit up slightly; it was finally coming to an end. "Okay, take me to the Junting Hotel!"

The doorbell rang, and Wang Ma opened the door. "Miss, Assistant Kong is here!"

Kong Can is Lu Lingjun's most trusted deputy.

The other person was dressed in a suit, looking travel-worn, clearly having learned of what happened last night and had specially rushed back from out of town.

Seeing that Lu Sijian was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, Wang Ma couldn't help but feel a little regretful that she couldn't complain to Assistant Kong.

Upon learning that Lu Sijian was going to the Junting Hotel, Kong Can was surprised but relieved. "That's good. I suppose Miss Lu is missing Young Master Lu."

The second bedroom in the Presidential Suite of Lu Lingjun at the Junting Hotel has always been exclusively for Lu Sijian.

In the past, when Lu Lingjun was too busy, Lu Sijian would always bring her homework to Junting Hotel to keep him company.

The brother and sister had a deep bond, which their subordinates all noticed.

"Since it's the young lady's wish, let her stay. A change of environment might help her condition," Kong Can said.

Lou Xiao nodded.

The two people took Lu Sijian to the Junting Hotel.

Lu Sijian got out of the car, and the cold wind made her feel much more awake.

"You all go ahead and do your work, I can go up by myself." She paused, her voice gentle, "Xiao-ge, your phone keeps ringing, is it something at the company? Don't work too late tonight."

Lou Xiao hesitated for a moment, but then his phone rang again.

"Go quickly." Lu Sijian smiled gently, just like many years ago.

Lou Xiao then turned around and strode toward the car, which was still running.

Lu Sijian watched the two cars leave one after the other.

Wang Ma was a little confused. Why didn't the young lady make it clear that she didn't stay in the young master's presidential suite?

However, she quickly cheered up and said with a smile, "Miss, I knew it! Young Master Lou doesn't like that Mu Liangyue at all!"

Lou Xiao didn't hide his words from Wang Ma, so she heard him clearly.

"Your decision to run away from home was the right one. Young Master Lou has stated that he will no longer speak to Mu Liangyue!"

"Once the engagement banquet is held, Mu Liangyue will be even less likely to come looking for Lou Shao."

There is a shuttle bus at the side entrance of the hotel lobby that can take them to the villa area.

Lu Sijian walked over and was about to get into the car when a long, slender hand reached out and helped her.

Lu Sijian looked up and met a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes.

"Senior, what a coincidence."

-

On the shuttle bus.

Sheng Yunchao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, someone wanted to know your accommodation information, and I gave them a little hint, which led them to mistakenly believe that you were staying in the young master's room."

Wang Ma suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!" She wondered why Lou Shao and Assistant Kong hadn't suspected anything!

Sheng Yunchao: "But given President Lou's caution, I think he would at least escort the person to their room before leaving."

It's raining again outside, the sound of raindrops pattering as the shuttle bus passes through a resort-style courtyard and enters the villa area.

Wang Ma couldn't help but defend Lou Xiao, "Young Master Lou is just too busy..."

Sheng Yunchao nodded: "Yes, it must be because President Lou is too busy. Otherwise, would he not care about Senior Sister's affairs? No way."

Aunt Wang: "Young Master Lou is very attentive to Miss's affairs. No matter how busy he was, he would always cook medicinal porridge for Miss and stay with her until she fell asleep!"

Sheng Yunchao smiled even more politely and harmlessly, "Yes, in the past, when Young Master Lou brought my senior here, he would always escort her to her room before leaving."

"After all, a hotel is not like home. People come and go every day, and even the best security can't keep out some bad guys. My senior is not in good health now, so he can only be more nervous than before."

At first, Wang Ma nodded, but as she listened, she froze.

Yeah, Lou Xiao would never just leave someone downstairs and walk away before...

She felt a little panicked. Could it be that Young Master Lou really didn't care about Miss anymore?

Lu Sijian felt somewhat helpless.

[Wang Ma, you've fallen for their trap! They're just here to sow discord, okay?]

She glanced at Sheng Yunchao again.

[This is really going too far! To poach customers, they're willing to smear their own hotel's security system.]

[On another note, the hotel did later have security issues; someone orchestrated a setup, causing the hotel to be negatively impacted and trend on social media, resulting in a dramatic drop in its reputation... but you weren't around by then.]

Sheng Yunchao's eyes narrowed slightly. This was the second time he had heard about his own fate.

The car suddenly stopped.

The driver, wearing white gloves and a uniform, rang his bell to signal that they had arrived.

Just as the driver was about to open the umbrella, Sheng Yunchao took it from him.

Under the black umbrella, the young man stood tall and slender, politely extending his hand. His eyes were like the dark surface of a lake on a rainy night, unfathomable yet shimmering with a faint light.

Lu Sijian didn't touch that hand, quickly got out of the car, and slipped under Wang Ma's umbrella.

Sheng Yunchao curled his fingers slightly, feeling the spring night wind was unusually cold.

Just as cold as when he received the engagement invitation that afternoon.

Lu Sijian suddenly turned to look at him, "Is it possible that I didn't let him take me to my room just because I didn't want him to know where I live?"

Sheng Yunchao was slightly taken aback.

"If there's any situation with your brother's presidential suite, remember to take care of it for me," Lu Sijian said.

She stepped into the villa and slammed the door shut.

The spring rain drizzled softly, and all was quiet under the umbrella.

"Let's go." After a long while, Sheng Yunchao finally spoke.

The shuttle bus turned around and headed towards the hotel's main building.

Occasionally, the light from a streetlamp would shine in, illuminating the young man's face with flickering light, revealing his captivating, almond-shaped eyes.

"So you didn't want to, not out of spite." Sheng Yunchao's lips curled up slightly, his intentions obvious.

He rested his chin on his hand and said with a smile, "That's wonderful!"

The driver was terrified.

However, he couldn't say anything. He couldn't very well advise his young master that it was immoral to steal someone else's fiancée, could he?

-

Lu Sijian stayed at the hotel for another day.

Anyway, with Sheng Yunchao covering for her, no one knows that she didn't stay in Lu Lingjun's presidential suite.

Those people probably thought that she ran away from home out of spite and was looking for her big brother abroad to back her up.

Everyone is waiting for her to process her emotions and for her to find a way to back down gracefully.

Even if she couldn't find a way out, Lou Xiao was about to go on a business trip, so it was impossible for her to live alone outside.

That evening, Lu Lingbo sent her another text message, asking if it would be alright for him to pick her up the next day.

Lu Lingbo posted more messages today than he did in the previous few months combined.
