After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian obediently stood still and waited.

Seeing Sheng Yunchao's figure moving quickly behind the glass, she felt anxious and couldn't help but take two steps toward the elevator.

But she stopped again very quickly.

Why does it feel like we're dating? No, this feels more like I'm having an affair.

“Ah Jane.”

Hearing the voice behind her, Lu Sijian mechanically turned her head.

"What's wrong? You look surprised." Lou Xiao stepped forward and took her hand. "Is the air conditioning too cold? Your hands are so cold."

As he spoke, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over Lu Sijian's shoulders.

His considerate and gentle demeanor made people marvel at the depth of his affection.

Yao Yao said with a smile, "Ah Jian must be too happy."

Shen Baolin glanced back at Lu Sijian, thinking to herself, "What do you mean 'happy'? She's clearly terrified."

Because she was preoccupied with her own thoughts, she didn't hear Lu Sijian's full thoughts, only vaguely hearing the final "affair".

Having an affair? With whom is she having an affair? Is it just a thought, or is she already doing it? Could it be Sheng Yunchao?

Shen Baolin couldn't resist any longer and looked up to search for any suspicious targets.

Upstairs, next to the sightseeing elevator, Sheng Yunchao suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Through the narrow gap, he saw Lou Xiao's sharp eyes looking towards the sightseeing elevator, while he placed his hand on Lu Sijian's waist.

Their intimate gestures subtly asserted their dominance.

With a ding, the sightseeing elevator opened, and Song Xiuran stepped out. He looked up and met Lou Xiao's gaze. He paused for a moment, then lowered his head and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Shen Baolin noticed that the other person initially walked in their direction, but changed direction when they saw her cousin.

Immediately, her eyes widened as she looked at Lu Sijian in disbelief. "No way, she's trying to seduce Song Xiuran?"

Even Lu Sijian herself didn't realize that her eyes had dimmed slightly.

In Shen Baolin's eyes, it seemed increasingly suspicious, as if she was heartbroken because Song Xiuran turned and left without hesitation.

Lu Sijian greeted Yao Yao with a smile, "Aunt Yao, what a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, Lou Xiao and I had something to discuss, and when we heard you were here to pick up your bouquet, we came together."

Lu Sijian: "I asked Wang Ma to fetch the bouquet."

Lou Xiao stared at Song Xiuran's back until he disappeared before turning his gaze away.

"Really? The bridal shop said the wedding dress is ready. I might as well go try it on and see if there's anything that doesn't fit and needs alteration."

Lu Sijian paused for a moment, but quickly said, "Okay, let's give it a try then."

Lou Xiao stood still: "Did you make plans with anyone else today?"

"No, okay, let's go try on the wedding dress," Lu Sijian said with a smile.

[It's said that this wedding dress was custom-made entirely by hand by several renowned wedding dress designers over three months, and Lou Xiao spent several million yuan on it. At such an expensive price, it must be incredibly beautiful!]

Lou Xiao looked at the enthusiastic people, and the suspicion in his eyes dissipated considerably.

Upon hearing Lu Sijian's heartfelt words, he immediately suspected that the person she was waiting for was Sheng Yunchao.

His masculine pride instantly ignited his fighting spirit, and he was determined to assert his dominance no matter what.

However, when the elevator doors opened, Song Xiuran stepped out, which disappointed him, but also made him feel that it was only right.

Even if Sheng Yunchao was indeed flirting with Lu Sijian, it was out of a desire to oppose him, not out of genuine affection.

Such hypocritical and profit-driven people have no real sincerity; they simply treat women as trophies, using them to attack others.

If Sheng Yunchao were to actually marry Lu Sijian now, she would probably back down, since it wouldn't maximize her benefits.

Recently, there have been some rumors that Sheng Yunchao likes Lian Buman and that the two families intend to arrange a marriage.

Lou Xiao listened selectively, not believing everything, but he felt that a marriage alliance might be possible.

The Lian family possesses a crucial production technology. Although their development momentum is far inferior to that of the Sheng and Lou families, Sheng Yunchao might be tempted if Lian Zheng were willing to relinquish that technology.

The intention behind Sheng Yunchao's earlier encouragement of the Lian Group to issue that clarification statement was quite clear.

It's all to slap him in the face, humiliate him, and trample him on.

This is probably Lian Buman's way of showing her allegiance to Sheng Yunchao, isn't it? Denying that she ever had a crush on him and belittling him, Sheng Yunchao must be very happy about it.

Now that Sheng Yunchao has acquired better spoils, he probably no longer cares about Lu Sijian.

As Lou Xiao pondered this, he unconsciously released his grip on Lu Sijian's arm.

-

The wedding dress was elaborate and beautiful, comparable to the main wedding dress, which shows how much Lou Xiao valued this engagement banquet.

As soon as the staff pulled back the curtain, Wang Ma exclaimed in surprise, "My God, Miss, you are so beautiful!"

Lou Xiao looked up and was momentarily dazed.

Recently, many things have been standing between the two of them. He thought that their feelings had become bland and that the burning passion he once had for her had cooled down.

But at this moment, seeing her dressed up and ready to get married, his heart was pounding so hard that he couldn't wait to marry her.

Yao Yao looked at it carefully for a moment and couldn't help but laugh and say, "No wonder A-Jian was named the number one socialite in Yuncheng back then."

Shen Baolin felt a pang of sadness, but she prided herself on being objective and fair, saying, "She is quite pretty."

In reality, the title of "first socialite" is just a term people use, and aesthetics are not universally agreed upon, so many people have been called "first socialite."

But Lu Sijian is universally acknowledged as the most renowned and undeniably beautiful.

So when she learned that her most respected cousin had fallen in love with Lu Sijian, she felt both disappointed and that it was only right.

Besides Lu Sijian, who else could be worthy of my cousin?

The designer said, "The size may need to be changed again. We made room for the size initially, but Ms. Lu is still a bit too thin."

Lu Sijian: "No need, this is fine. I'll eat more these next few days."

[Since this engagement is destined to fall through anyway, there's no need to make a fuss.]

Lou Xiao's brow twitched. A failed relationship? How could that be? He would never allow such a thing to happen.

A commotion suddenly arose at the door, followed by a middle-aged woman rushing in, pleading, "Miss Lu! Please, have mercy!"

Just as the staff who arrived were about to pull the woman away, they were stopped by a middle-aged man and an elderly woman who appeared to be her family members.

Wang Ma's head buzzed, and she exclaimed, "Sir, Madam?"

Qiu Ruohua glared at Wang Ma, "Wang Lamei! You slut, I should have made sure you rotted in jail back then!"

Overwhelmed by both old and new grudges, she immediately wanted to pounce on Wang Lamei and slap her face until it was swollen.

Lu Sijian pulled Wang Ma behind her, and the designer and the wedding dress shop manager hurriedly stopped Qiu Ruohua from rushing over.

Just kidding, if anything happens to this wedding dress, they can't afford to pay for it!

Lou Xiao stood up. "Enough! What exactly are you here for?"

Qiu Ruohua glanced at him, her eyes slightly trembling. Since she had cornered the bridal shop, she naturally knew Lou Xiao's identity.

The other party is someone I can't afford to offend.

Zhang Jiadong was extremely anxious: "Calm down and speak properly!"

Qiu Ruohua steeled her heart and knelt down with a thud. "Miss Lu, please have mercy and spare our company."
