buttocks as she stood on her tiptoes and hugged Jiang Qí Fēng's neck, saying something.She stood with her back to He Hanchuan, while Jiang Qi Feng lowered his head and stared at her, all his attention...He stared at her intently, his eyes dark and unreadable. He said nothing.

This time, A-Wan did not bow her head as she usually did. She looked at him straight in the eye, neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of provocation and arrogance hidden beneath.

She was strangely similar to her from two years ago. He swallowed, his gaze falling on the red mark on her neck. "Jiang Qi Feng came looking for you"

It was a question, but phrased with an affirmative tone, laced with a subtle acidity he himself hadn't noticed.

A dying ember flickered in Yue Wan's eyes as she scoffed, "Thanks to you, everyone in your circle knows about my wild ways. Even Mr. Jiang wants to sponsor me as his mistress."

"Being a sugar baby" He Hanchuan tapped the bed faster, ignoring the inexplicable unease in his heart, and sneered, "You don't even need him to pay, you just can't wait to cling onto him, right"

向晚 stared straight at him, then chuckled softly, diverting her gaze. "No matter who it is, as long as they can take me out of the Dreamland Society, I'd be happy to stick to them like glue."

She bent down, leaning close to him. Her voice softened, and the curve of her lips diminished slightly, "Mr. He, are you satisfied with this answer"

Ge Hanchuan's movement of pressing the bed paused, his fist clenching slightly. He leaned forward, reaching out to pinch her chin, "Jiang Qifeng is incapable of taking you away, you don't need to waste your effort."

向晚 tore his hand away, straightened up and took a few steps back, creating distance between them.

"You broke his younger sister's leg, and he just got engaged to Song Qiao. Do you think he would care about what happened to you"

Even if he were willing to do anything to take you away from the Dream Hall, as soon as his mother, sister, or fiancée voiced even a hint of doubt, he would abandon you without hesitation because of his guilt towards Qingran, his adherence to his so-called justice, or for the sake of the Jiang family's reputation.

"Then, you'll end up losing everything." He Hanchuan's expression was as usual, but his clenched fist had loosened, his distinct knuckles tapping on the table rhythmically. This was a small habit he developed when he was extremely agitated.

Towards evening gave him a faint glance and said, "I'd be happy to."

Upon hearing this, He Hanchuan's brows furrowed. He reached out and unbuttoned another button on his sick robe. His handsome face darkened slightly, and his eyes seemed to be swirling with dark clouds.

向晚 was in a good mood, "Lánjie asked me to bring the chicken soup, I still have work to do, see you later."

She didn't glance back at him. Under his almost tangible gaze, she smirked and walked out the door.

Her phone vibrated, and Xiang Wan glanced at the caller ID. Her eyes softened a little as she answered, "Sister-in-law—"

"To cut a long story short," Lin Nalu's voice was a little more hurried than usual.

Toward clenched her phone tightly, her body tensed up at her words, "Sister-in-law... what happened"

Lin Nalulu was frantic. "After Mom and Dad went to look for you yesterday, Dad came back in a rage. He took away your brother's bank card, phone, computer, everything. He won't let him give you money secretly anymore, and he won't let him have any contact with you."

"Your brother wouldn't listen, so Dad just locked him up. He couldn't go anywhere except inside the house. Mom pleaded with Dad several times, saying that he should at least listen to his daughter, but he wouldn't hear it."

She sighed, changing the subject. "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Your brother asked me if you were okay You guys got caught putting drugs in someone and installing cameras by He Hanchuan, did he make things difficult for you"

"...No." From the time the incident happened to now, He Hanchuan hadn't felt sad for himself. Xiang Wan didn't know what he was thinking, but she didn't think he would let her off easily.

Upon hearing this, Lin Nalú let out a heavy sigh, with muffled sobs escaping her lips. "It's all your brother's fault, that useless fool! He's always causing trouble and making things difficult for you! Wanwan, don't worry about us being concerned, just tell me how He Hanchuan wronged you. Tell... maybe I can help."

The last sentence came out stammered, lacking confidence.

To have such a sister-in-law is truly a blessing in three lifetimes, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I..."

"Wanwan, Dad's home, I'll hang up first, I'll call you later!" Lin Nalu said in a panic, and hung up the phone.

Towards Evening watched the black screen of her phone, a bitter smile on her lips, and walked towards the elevator.

Ding!

The elevator arrived.

Zhong Yuxuan stepped out of the elevator with a briefcase, his demeanor suave and elegant. The other hand was firmly clutching Li Xiaoya, who refused to budge from the floor.

"Master, if you're going to see the iceberg, you could just go yourself. Why do you have to bring me *waaaah*, I don't want to go... Ah, my aunt flow came, my stomach hurts so much, I need to go back!" Ren Xiaoya scrunched up her face and squatted on the ground, about to cry.

Zhong Yu-Xuan turned around, raised an eyebrow and glanced at his apprentice who was lying on the ground acting like a spoiled child. He tucked his briefcase under his arm, then bent down and easily picked up Ren Xiao-Ya, who refused to move from the floor.

Ren Xiaoya flailed about like a prawn in a frying pan, her mouth yelling, "Help! This is assault! Is anyone there Someone's robbing me in broad daylight, help—"

"Life..." the two words died in his throat upon seeing Xiang Wan, "Wow, Xiang Wan, you're here too!"

Towards Evening hummed softly, and whispered, "Hello, Miss Ren."

"Just in time!" Ren Xiaoya pinched Zhong Yuxuan under his armpit twice, landing gracefully. She rolled her eyes and said, "My master wants to treat you to a meal and apologize for the trouble! After we're done looking at the iceberg, let's have dinner together!"

"Toward the end of his gaze, he took a quick glance at Zhong Yu Xuan whose face was flushed red from pain but still tried to act cool and composed. Then, she shifted her focus to Ren Xiao Ya, “I…”

"Oh, have you had dinner yet" Ren Xiaoya interrupted her excitedly, then without waiting for a reply, she said to herself, "It's still early, you probably haven't eaten. What do you like to eat Let me find a place first!"

She took out her phone and started scrolling.

"No need, Miss Ren," Xiang Wan said. "I haven't met Mr. Zhong many times, and he has never done anything wrong to me. In fact, he, along with you, has helped me several times. I should be thanking both of you."

Ren Xiaoya put away her phone and pouted, "He said you have ulterior motives for getting close to me, and told you to stay away from me in the future. He's apologizing to both me and you!"

She let out a heavy snort, her big, watery eyes staring straight at Zhong Yu Xuan, and she called out in a long, drawn-out tone: “Master——!!!”

"Miss Xiang, I was too forward last time when I said those things to you." Zhong Yu Xuan pampered and helplessly rubbed Ren Xiaoya's bun, then turned to Xiang Wan and said, "I hope you will grace us with your presence and have a meal with me and Xiaoya."

Toward Wan politely declined, "Mr. Zhong, you're too kind. Miss Ren's status is extraordinary, it's natural for you to think of me this way. You don't have to take this to heart."

"Wa-wa..." Ren Xiaoya pulled at her hand, acting pitifully and coquettishly, "Are you mad at me for not eating with me"
