After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian was startled and looked up. The green light had just passed, so she didn't think much of it.

Shen Baolin calmed down. No, she couldn't fall for it.

Lu Sijian's statement that day clearly said that she would be valued by her boss and get a promotion and a raise, but today she changed her words and said that she was being neglected by her boss.

She could hardly help but suspect that the other person was deliberately using their inner thoughts to mislead and influence her.

After the red light passed, Shen Baolin started the car and said, "Ah Jian, here's the thing, my boss wants me to go with him to discuss business today, to play golf with a big client, but it doesn't count as overtime. What do you think I should do?"

Lu Sijian was surprised: "Then you should go talk business! It's such a good opportunity! It's okay if you don't come to my place; your career should come first!"

[Is this regret for not seizing the opportunity? Hilarious, they're just using you as a prankster.]

[First they'll praise you to the skies, then ignore you, make you sit on the sidelines for a few days, and when you get angry, they'll come back to make up with you. Won't you then obediently listen to them?]

[Aren't you implying that you'd have to make a huge sacrifice to be with me? If you actually go, you'll just end up being a caddy, doing all that work for nothing.]

Shen Baolin thought expressionlessly that she shouldn't have asked her that question.

Why should I be just a caddie? With her, I'm the real free driver and companion.

Zhou Guyang is right. The young lady is so high and mighty, how could she know how to be grateful? It's good enough that she hasn't bullied anyone.

[Beep, a change in character's favorability detected; dislike value +1]

Lu Sijian was somewhat surprised when she heard the system notification. She hadn't done anything yet, had she?

But this is a good thing. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Why did you think of coming to the hotel to find me?"

Shen Baolin: "Lingbo told me."

After she finished speaking, she noticed that Lu Sijian was still staring at her, and she couldn't help but feel a little impatient. What did this mean? Did she lie?

“Lingbo said you miss Lingjun and plan to stay at the hotel for two days,” she added.

But a question arose in her mind: Why would she go to stay at a hotel again?

Didn't my cousin personally go to pick her up and take her back to the Lu family that day?

[What does Lu Lingbo mean? Is it a case of "family scandals shouldn't be aired in public"? Wait a minute, aren't he and Shen Baolin on good terms? Why isn't he saying anything about something this serious?]

She was right, something was indeed wrong! Shen Baolin pursed her lips; it seemed she would have to ask Lu Lingbo about it later.

Looking at the thoughtful expression on Shen Baolin's face, Lu Sijian felt very satisfied.

[Tsk, you guys are truly like sieves, each one with eight hundred schemes on their own.]

"They're quite perceptive, already suspecting things. That's great, I can just sit back and reap the rewards."

Shen Baolin was speechless. She stepped on the gas and drove the car at breakneck speed to the jewelry exhibition.

As soon as Lu Sijian walked in, she saw Mu Liangyue dressed in her finest attire, and her expression immediately showed that she had not expected it.

[I knew something good was going to happen today, and it really did! I ran into the female lead!]

Surrounded by so many admirers, I'm afraid something unexpected is about to happen that will embarrass me. Is it going to be that exciting?

Shen Baolin didn't want to talk anymore. Didn't she see that Mu Liangyue was very troubled?

Mu Liangyue was surrounded by several men, each of whom was attentive and eager.

"I'm sorry, I'm waiting for someone here... I'm really sorry, I don't drink..."

Mu Liangyue frowned slightly. She wasn't very good at refusing others and was at a loss for what to do in this situation.

Shen Baolin walked over and said, "I'm sorry, she was waiting for me."

Several men looked at her with displeasure. What did she have to do with this?

"Let's go. Didn't you want to talk to me?" Shen Baolin pulled Mu Liangyue and prepared to leave.

Mu Liangyue stood still: "Baolin, I'm not waiting for you, I'm waiting for Miss Lu."

She didn't see Lu Sijian and didn't want to leave yet.

Upon hearing this, the people nearby immediately became assertive again and blocked their path.

"Did you hear that? They're not waiting for you. Why are you cutting in here?"

"We're talking about buying jewelry, don't interrupt."

"Yeah, we were having a nice chat, isn't it a bit much for you to just take them away like that?"

Shen Baolin took a deep breath and patiently asked, "So what do you want?"

"You can leave if you want, but drink this glass of wine first." Someone took a glass of champagne from the waiter, their eyes fixed on Mu Liangyue.

Mu Liangyue frowned. She really couldn't drink alcohol, but in order to quell the trouble, she still decided to drink the glass of wine.

Just as he held the wine glass in his hand, Shen Baolin snatched it away.

“I’ll drink it for her…” Shen Baolin downed the glass of wine in one gulp, gestured to everyone, and prepared to leave, but was stopped again.

Shen Baolin was getting impatient. "Didn't I already drink all the wine?"

“She only needs one drink, but if you drink for her, you’ll have to drink at least three,” the man in the suit joked.

Those around him chimed in, "Yeah, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Drinking for someone else should be punished twice as severely!"

Shen Baolin: "Okay, you said it. Three cups it is, you have to keep your word."

Three cups of wine are no big deal for her, after all, she has been attending parties since she was a child, and she can handle that much alcohol.

As she picked up her glass to drink her second glass, Lu Sijian's thoughts suddenly drifted over from beside her.

【Wait, was Shen Baolin really this reckless?】

【What do you mean three cups? It should clearly be three cups and then three more cups!】

You expect others to follow the rules of the game, but little do you know that they are the ones who set the rules and can change them whenever they want.

He promised you three drinks, but the others didn't; the question is, why did you drink his three drinks but not mine?

[Once the compliance test begins, it won't stop. You shouldn't drink a single drop. Why give them attitude? Aren't you stupid?]

Shen Baolin's hand holding the wine glass froze. Through her fingers, she subconsciously glanced at the man in the suit opposite her.

The man's eyes gleamed, his face filled with ill intent; the people beside him exchanged knowing smiles.

...Lu Sijian was right; these people really were planning to find an excuse to force her to continue drinking.

She placed her wine glass on the waiter's tray and said, "I'm not drinking."

The man in the suit immediately frowned; he had never been so humiliated in front of others before.

"Beautiful lady, this is where you're wrong. It wasn't your business at all, but you insisted on sticking your neck out. Now you're going back on your word. Are you trying to renege on your promise?"

"You don't have to drink it, you can leave, but she can't leave."

Shen Baolin glanced around and looked at Lu Sijian in the corner. "Liangyue, are you waiting for A-Jian? She's over there."

Since you're so capable, don't even think about staying out of it.

"Miss Lu!" Mu Liangyue exclaimed in surprise, then, remembering something, she quickly ran over and stood in front of Lu Sijian, "She can't drink!"

Lu Sijian: "..."

The female protagonist is confused about her own affairs, but she cares a lot about other people's affairs.

Just a moment ago it was an innocent little rabbit, but now it has become resilient and stubborn, protecting Lu Sijian like a guardian.
