Lin Yu hastily said, “It’s not your fault. We barely see each other often, and I was with my mother-in-law during your exhibition, so I didn’t have time to chat with you. However, I could tell from your appearance that you were in an excellent state. I was so envious. I didn’t expect to meet you here today. It must be fate.”

Xiang Yang also chuckled. Lin Yu was a gentle and sweet girl; no one could refuse her enthusiasm.

“Are you alone? Is Xi Cheng not with you?” Xiang Yang asked politely.

“He is overseas for work, so I came to watch a play with my friend. Xi Cheng called me just now, so I came out to take the call. I didn’t expect to meet you here, Xiang Yang. What a coincidence! Xiang Yang, I really like that pair of bracelets you designed. I wanted to buy them for my mother-in-law, but… I didn’t make the order list,” Lin Yu answered and embarrassedly looked at Xiang

Yang.

Xiang Yang understood Lin Yu’s intentions and inquired, “Do you still remember the product number? I’ll ask later if there’s any stock.” “Really? That’s great, Xiang Yang! Thank you so much!” Lin Yu replied, overjoyed.

Xiang Yang wanted to head inside, but Lin Yu inconspicuously stopped her, saying, “Xiang Yang, I would like you to design the jewelry I’ll wear for my wedding with Xi Cheng. I wonder if you have the time to chat with me about it.”

“Have you guys set a date for your wedding? I’ll get my assistant to check my schedule. I’ll definitely help as long as I’m free. Thank you for liking my work,” Xiang Yang told her politely.

“Xiang Yang, you’re so kind! I really don’t know how to thank you,” Lin Yu said excitedly.

Xiang Yang smiled. “I’ll be glad so long as you and Xi Cheng live happily together. Let’s go in; we’ll miss the rest of the play if we keep chatting here.”

Lin Yu embarrassedly apologized, “Oops, I forgot about that. I’m really sorry, Xiang Yang.”

The two of them walked in one after another. On the narrow pathway, Xiang Yang—who was walking in front—suddenly stopped.

Shi Gao had thrown herself into Shi Kels arms and hugged his waist tightly, crying, “Shi Ke, what don’t you like about me? Why won’t you consider me once more?”

Shi Ke nervously raised his hands to avoid touching her and said, “S-stand up and talk properly.”

“I won’t! Shi Ke, I beg you! Please, give me another chance,” Shi Gao sobbed.

Shi Ke was exasperated and panic-stricken. He suddenly saw Xiang Yang standing on the opposite side and relievedly called out, “Xiang Yang!”

Xiang Yang stepped forward, pulled Shi Gao off of Shi Ke, and dragged him toward the exit without saying a word. Shi Gao shouted behind them, “Xiang Yang, you don’t deserve Shi Ke! You’re not worthy of him! Do you dare to let him know about your wretched past? Xiang Yang, let Shi Ke go already!”

Xiang Yang stopped in her tracks. Shi Ke placed an arm around her waist and didn’t allow her to look back. He turned his head and warned, “Shi Gao, that’s enough! Xiang Yang is my wife. I won’t allow anyone to slander her!”

“Shi Ke, if you’d married anyone else, if you’re happy, then no matter how much I love you, I would’ve let you go with my silent blessings, but not when it’s Xiang Yang! She doesn’t deserve happiness! Someone died because of her!” Shi Gao practically shouted.

Shi Ke didn’t want to talk to her anymore, so—arm still around her—he steered Xiang Yang towards the exit and squeezed past Lin Yu.

Yun Nan had gotten a call from Shi Ke and quickly rushed to Shi Ke and Xiang Yang’s house according to the address given by Shi Nian.

Shi Ke said anxiously, “Yun Nan, please help me keep Xiang Yang company. I have an urgent mission and must leave immediately. She had an unpleasant encounter today. I’m worried that if she goes home to my parents, they’ll be more of a hindrance than help because they don’t know the situation.”

“What happened to Xiang Yang?” Yun Nan asked, puzzled.

Shi Ke scratched his head. “I can’t explain it right now. Please help me keep her company. If she’s willing to talk, just listen. If not, I’ll tell you when I have the chance in the future. I have to leave now. Military orders can’t be disobeyed.”

Shi Ke was burning with anxiety. Yun Nan hurriedly nodded. “You should leave quickly, Shi Ke. I’ll keep Xiang Yang company. Don’t worry; I’ll definitely complete my mission.”

Shi Ke nodded solemnly and turned back to look at the tightly shut bedroom door before leaving resolutely.

Yun Nan looked around the house and guessed that it was probably given to them by Shi Nian. It was very similar to Shi Nian’s ridiculously large house. You could tell at a glance that the two houses were ‘related.’

Yun Nan found the kitchen. As expected, the windows were bright and clean. Even the refrigerator was squeaky clean and empty. She could only order some ingredients online and wait for their arrival..
