Return to before death

Then, Yan Ran smiled and sat down gracefully next to Sheng Xuanling.

"I'm sorry, I was too anxious. I can't control my emotions when it comes to Xuanling." She called Xuanling by her name very intimately, while Yan Ran seemed like a stranger.

She is now particularly grateful that she secretly planted a junior employee in Shengshi Haoting as her informant, not only to accurately find out when Sheng Xuanling left the company, but also to find out if any women were trying to seduce him while she was away.

And here we are, we caught one.

"It's nothing, we were just having a meal together." Since Liu Xinyin apologized, Yan Ran accepted it without hesitation.

Having stayed in the clan for years, she has put a lot of effort into her image, and is now in no way inferior to Liu Xinyin, with a subtle tendency to surpass her.

Just having a meal together? Clearly, Liu Xinyin didn't believe Yan Ran's explanation. If it was just a simple meal, then why were they walking together intimately, chatting and laughing?

"Liu Xinyin, didn't you go back? Why are you here again?" Before Liu Xinyin could speak, Sheng Xuanling's calm questioning voice rang in her ears.

"I just heard from others that you walked out of the company gate with a woman in a very intimate manner." Liu Xinyin could only complain in her heart and dared not say it out loud. If he found out that she had planted a spy in his company, even if she was his fiancée, he would kick her out without hesitation and never let her set foot in Shengshi Haoting again.

Even getting close to him might be a difficult task.

She wasn't foolish enough to just squander the little bit of goodwill she'd worked so hard to gain over the years.

"I came here because I saw you with this woman." Liu Xinyin chose to ignore his previous sentence and went straight to answer the last question.

Would she foolishly tell him that she rushed over from home after hearing the news?

He would have easily figured that out with his intelligence, so she simply didn't say anything; it's better than saying the wrong thing.

Yan Ran looked down at the two people talking to each other.

Only at that moment did she realize that she was like an outsider in his life, and that there was nothing between them except that he had saved her life.

She hid the strange emotions in her heart deep inside.

"Have you eaten yet?" Sheng Xuanling took in Yan Ran's expression and her tone softened unconsciously.

Unfortunately, the person he was talking to was Liu Xinyin.

When Liu Xinyin heard this, her eyes shone as brightly as the starry sky, staring intently at Sheng Xuanling as if she wanted to bore a hole through his face.

Did she hear that right? Was that gentle tone used to ask her a question?

She secretly pinched herself, and after feeling the pain, she giggled foolishly.

She racked her brains but couldn't recall saying or doing anything that might have pleased him.

"No... I haven't eaten yet." She was originally planning to eat, but after receiving the message, lunch was long forgotten, and now she realized her stomach was empty.

At that moment, she was especially glad that she had run away without eating anything.

Seeing his gentle side is harder than climbing to heaven.

"Let's eat together, then we'll go back. I have some things to take care of." Hearing his gentle voice, I almost ignored the slight aloofness in it.

As soon as she finished speaking, the menu was pushed in front of her, with several neat checkmarks already drawn on it, obviously by Sheng Xuanling.

All the checkmarks are for fish.

"Just these dishes... I like them too." Liu Xinyin barely managed to suppress the urge to cover her face with her hands, wishing she could bury her head in the menu.

From Yan Ran's perspective, she could see that the girl's face was flushed and she looked shy.

Yan Ran glanced at the menu lightly, a hint of understanding appearing in her eyes.

Then, she raised the corners of her mouth. Who would have thought that the proud and arrogant Sheng Xuanling had a special fondness for fish? Ordering a table full of fish when discussing projects might greatly increase the chances of success.

After that, the three remained silent. Liu Xinyin, who had come to confront him in a menacing manner, had long forgotten why she had come. She lowered her head and kept eating her rice, glancing at Sheng Xuanling beside her from time to time.

Finally, Sheng Xuanling couldn't stand her gaze any longer, put down her chopsticks and looked at Yan Ran, "Are you full?"

"Mmm," Yan Ran responded softly.

Liu Xinyin, who was eating rice nearby, looked up at Sheng Xuanling with a blank expression and a somewhat flustered look.

Her eyes reddened slightly, and her face instantly turned pitiful, like a discarded rag doll. "Are you leaving?"

Although it was a question, she said it with an affirmative tone.

The two were only a few centimeters apart, but Liu Xinyin felt as if they were separated by a vast distance.

She tried her best to pursue it, but in the end, they drifted further and further apart.

"Where to?" Yan Ran asked casually, as if no one else was around. In any case, it seemed that Sheng Xuanling wouldn't be bringing Liu Xinyin along, so Liu Xinyin's opinion was none of her business.

As long as you don't provoke her, she can ignore anyone except those who hold a place in her heart.

Sheng Xuanling did not answer, but stood up and looked at Liu Xinyin with a slightly cold gaze. "Excuse me, I'm going out. If you're not full, keep eating. After you finish eating, go home quickly so that Uncle Liu won't worry."

Liu Xinyin subconsciously made way, the faint fragrance of his passing still lingering in her nostrils.

"Don't go." She reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, but pulled her hand back when she met his cold gaze.

She watched Yan Ran walk alongside him from behind, biting her lower lip tightly.

She was clearly his fiancée, so why was he always standing next to other women instead of her?

Would you rather have a married woman than give her a second glance?

Since that's the case, she had no choice but to...

"Your sister wants you to come home." She had no choice but to bring up Sheng Liuli, whose greatest support was not the Liu family, but Sheng Liuli of the Sheng family.

From the very beginning, Sheng Liuli was the most supportive of their marriage and always helped them in various ways to foster their relationship.

Sure enough, Sheng Xuanling stopped in his tracks, but his next words made Liu Xinyin even more jealous of Yan Ran.

"You're coming back to the Sheng family with me," Sheng Xuanling said in an unyielding tone.

Yan Ran stopped in her tracks, turned around and glanced at Liu Xinyin, then asked in a low voice, "Don't you have your fiancée with you? Why did you drag me along?"

Looking at Liu Xinyin's hateful eyes gave her a headache.

Sheng Xuanling bent down and whispered in her ear, a playful smile in his eyes, "Repaying a debt of gratitude."

The warm breath sprayed on her ear, and a strange feeling rose in her heart, and her face immediately flushed red.

While she was distracted, Sheng Xuanling gently bit her ear, the wet sensation still lingering on her ear.

"What are you thinking about? You're so serious. Are you trying to figure out how to please my sister?"

To outsiders, their actions appear extremely ambiguous.

But in Liu Xinyin's eyes, it was particularly glaring.

It's unbearable for anyone to see their fiancé flirting with another woman right in front of them, oblivious to everyone else.

Moreover, Liu Xinyin's patience had long since reached its limit.
