After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Zhou Guyang was still worried that Shen Baolin might be turned against him by Lu Sijian.

That woman's words were too sharp; he had to be careful.

The door to the private room was ajar, and as soon as he walked over, he heard sounds coming from inside.

"Stop talking, I know you love him, I know everything!"

Realizing that Shen Baolin remained completely unmoved, a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

He boasted that with his immense charm, how could he possibly be unable to handle even a woman?

He looked at Shen Baolin with a mocking expression, yet she also looked terrified. Was she afraid he would find out how deeply she loved him?

Lu Sijian's voice continued: "I know you can't live without him! In this relationship, you seem to be in a superior position, but you've actually been humbled to the dust."

"Although Zhou Guyang comes from a poor family, he is righteous and generous, hardworking, flexible and adaptable, and has a good business sense. He is a promising talent."

"Your relationship with him is actually a blessing for the Shen family. Neither your father nor you are enough to support the Shen family's vast fortune, but Zhou Guyang is."

"He is just a hidden gem right now. Given time, he will definitely become a top business tycoon and prove all those who look down on him wrong."

"And you only have money from your parents, you don't know anything else, and you don't have a good temper, so you always feel that you're not good enough for him, right?"

I'm telling the truth, look how sincere I am, clearing obstacles from your path to love.

Shen Baolin snapped out of her daze and pursed her lips.

Lu Sijian was mostly right. She never thought Zhou Guyang would stay in a slump forever, and she always knew how outstanding he was.

In high school, all I did was study by rote, and I longed for the free and unrestrained spirit of someone like Zhou Guyang.

She always felt that Zhou Guyang was more outstanding than herself.

But why did these words sound so jarring coming from Lu Sijian's mouth?

What do you mean she's not good enough for him? What do you mean she can't support the Shen family's business? Am I that bad?

That's not all, the other party even said that her father couldn't support the Shen family!

Although Shen Baolin was dissatisfied with her parents' domineering nature, she admired her father, a business tycoon, from a young age.

Zhou Guyang is very capable, but he is still young, and she is unwilling to compare the two of them.

"Alright, stop talking." Shen Baolin quickly ended the conversation.

Regardless, Lu Sijian's actions just now did help her.

Zhou Guyang still harbors resentment over his abandonment of him in high school, and if he hears those words from his own father, he'll probably get angry again.

Lu Sijian then turned around, as if she had just noticed Zhou Guyang, and asked in surprise, "You were outside just now?"

This was the first time Zhou Guyang had looked at her so closely.

She was very famous in high school, and he went with his friends to see this socialite.

She was undeniably beautiful, but her aloof and superior demeanor annoyed him, diminishing her beauty considerably.

This illness made her less stunning than before, but her pale and emaciated appearance gave her a pitiful look.

Zhou Guyang looked at her for a moment, then called out to Shen Baolin, "Baby, can we go now?"

Shen Baolin walked over and took the arm that he had extended.

Just as the two were about to leave, Zhou Guyang thought for a moment and stopped.

“Pauline appears independent on the surface, but she is still a little girl at heart. She has always trusted you, and I hope you can guide her more in the future.”

Lu Sijian paused for a moment, then quickly put on a professional smile. "Okay."

Zhou Guyang glanced at her a few more times before turning and leaving with Shen Baolin.

Lu Sijian was also very happy. The two of them had finally resolved their conflict, and they would probably pour out their hearts to each other when they got back.

"What's making you laugh so happily?" Sheng Yunchao walked over from the other side.

Lu Sijian's smile faded, and she glanced at him. "Your return is quite timely."

"Unfortunately, I got back early." Sheng Yunchao said in a good-natured manner, "I just came back to see that the atmosphere was nice, so I didn't want to spoil the mood."

[So you're actually quite self-aware.]

[Because of your loose tongue, Shen Baolin almost started to doubt their relationship!]

Lu Sijian sincerely advised, "Young Master Sheng, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Don't interfere in other people's relationships in the future; it's against your good character."

Sheng Yunchao chuckled and lowered her eyes: "I've learned something, thank you for the reminder, senior."

Lu Sijian always felt that his smile had a somewhat indescribable meaning.

Before she could figure it out, Sheng Yunchao added, "But I may be destined to have no merit in this life."

He wants him to give her up? Dream on!

"..." Lu Sijian laughed it off, "Let's go."

[Is he implying he'll never give up on poaching women from other men? Why is this young man so pessimistic!]

Sheng Yunchao: "..."

“However, I also have something to remind you, senior.” Sheng Yunchao’s tone changed, and his expression became serious. “Stay away from that guy in the future.”

Lu Sijian was a little confused, but she nodded nonetheless.

[That's true. Zhou Guyang is extremely vengeful. The Shen family looked down on him, so he plotted to bankrupt them. And my actions in "breaking up" him and Shen Baolin back then only fueled his resentment.]

He won't give up his revenge on me just because I say a few nice words.

Sheng Yunchao's eyes were filled with coldness.

That wasn't the reason he mentioned; rather, he said that Zhou Guyang's gaze towards Lu Sijian at the end was very strange.

While calling Shen Baolin "baby," his eyes were fixed on Lu Sijian, making it seem as if he was actually calling Lu Sijian.

To be honest, for a moment he really wanted to gouge those eyes out.

-

Shen Baolin sat in the passenger seat, turning her head to look at Zhou Guyang.

Their hands clasped together, and love flowed between them as they gazed into each other's eyes.

She liked Zhou Guyang's assertiveness, but she also liked this rare tenderness.

"Well, have you seen enough?" Zhou Guyang asked with a smile. "Are you satisfied with what you saw?"

Shen Baolin nodded; his good looks were undeniable.

Zhou Guyang started the car, and when he saw the car in front of him as he left the parking lot, the smile on his face disappeared.

Shen Baolin followed his gaze and looked over: "That's Young Master Sheng's car."

Zhou Guyang knew, of course, that was Sheng Yunchao's car, a customized Maybach, with a price tag of over ten million.

Sheng Yunchao owned several of those luxury cars.

In comparison, the car I was driving was bought for Shen Baolin by the Shen family, and its price was only a little over a million yuan, which was nothing compared to this.

"Don't overthink it." Shen Baolin thought he was bothered by what Sheng Yunchao had said before.

Zhou Guyang suddenly asked, "How come Lu Sijian is hanging out with Sheng Yunchao? Didn't you say they were mortal enemies?"

Shen Baolin: "It was probably Sheng Yunchao who took the initiative to approach him. A-Jian has never really liked him."

“Hmm, she’s never liked pretty boys.” Zhou Guyang narrowed his eyes.

He had heard some things about Lu Sijian from Shen Baolin, and knew that she had avoided Sheng Yunchao since high school.

Shen Baolin was somewhat confused. How did Sheng Yunchao suddenly become a gigolo?
