The sudden taunt caused Lu Juyan to be stunned for a moment. He had never expected that the research institute would treat him in such a manner. He retrieved the astonishment from his eyes and pursed his lips. Just as he was about to explain, he was stopped by the other party.

"Why are you getting close to Du Liqing?" The cup that Qu Yan had just cleaned was heavily placed in front of Lu Juyan. His originally downcast eyes stared directly at Lu Juyan.

An invisible force spread out from her body. Her lips curled up into a charming smile, and her fingertips lightly circled the cup's opening. His appearance was very casual, but it gave off the feeling that no one could look down on him.

Lu Juyan actually felt a sense of panic towards Qu Yan's gaze. It had been a long time since anyone had faced him with such a gaze, and no one had dared to act so arrogantly in front of him.

"Are you sincere towards Cheng Qing?" Before Lu Juyan could open his mouth to speak, Qu Yanyan once again opened her mouth to question him.

The thoughts in his mind rippled nonstop as he realized that Lu Juyan had never done anything to harm her, not even to Du Liqing.

He couldn't help but feel that Lu Juyan might not be someone with a goal in mind, but he was so mysterious that Qu Yanzhi was unable to prove anything for him under any other pretext.

Having been defeated by Qu Yan's two questions, Lu Juyan chose to remain silent as he set his gaze on the basin of water.

Why should I help her like this?

Lu Juyan questioned himself in his heart, but no one could give him an answer.

He only knew that his heart would throb and throb when he saw Du Liqing's sad and sorrowful face. Seeing the brilliant smile on his face, he also felt very happy.

Is this true? Not really …

Unconsciously, he began to doubt his own mind, but he still could not think of a different answer.

"You don't have a very good spirit. I might have to trouble you more in the future."

Since even he himself didn't understand Lu Juyan's thoughts, he didn't want to make any more guesses and subconsciously wanted to run away. He looked out of the window, and the words of the psychiatrist began to echo in his mind. He inadvertently changed the topic.

It wasn't that he didn't want to think about it, but he didn't know what he would have to say after thinking about it. Facing Du Liqing, he knew that there was no way to guarantee that he would do anything to him.

"Of course I know that. Please answer my question!" Qu Yanzhi, who had been diverted from the topic, felt that it was uncomfortable, but still replied to Lu Juyan's words in a very serious manner. His brows revealed a sense of seriousness, and his tone contained a sense of urgency.

Someone had said that a person's first reaction could reflect a person's heart. Did that Lu Juyan's hesitation at the moment mean that he didn't really love Du Liqing?

There was a trace of doubt in his heart. Sun Jiangyuan suddenly appeared in his mind and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. The wariness in his heart spread once again, becoming more and more convinced that he and Sun Jiangyuan were not necessarily the same type of people.

At this moment, Lu Juyan still hadn't chosen to respond. His thoughts were spreading endlessly. Facing Qu Yan's gaze, she opened her thin lips and realized that she could not say anything.

The two of them were both thinking about what they should be thinking about, but neither of them noticed the probability of what kind of misunderstanding this would bring to the others.

In a corner, a man was hiding behind a curtain. He pointed his cell phone camera at the two of them and recorded the scene of the silence. When taken together with the camera, there were a few photos of the two of them happily chatting with each other.

He turned around and walked up the stairs and opened a private room. A girl was sitting inside, enjoying the fragrant tea with a contented expression on her face.

"It was just taken." The man directly placed the phone in front of Yue Min. The person in the photo was exceptionally eye-catching on the screen.

"Good, well done! "Take it." Yue Min smiled as she took the phone and uploaded all the pictures on it to her phone. Ye Zichen casually took out a bank card from his bag and handed it over to the other person, then returned the phone.

That person kept his phone and deleted those photos right in front of Yue Min. After keeping the bank card, he turned around and left the place.

Looking at the man's back as he left, Yue Min flipped through the photo in her hands. The smile on her face was very bright. She touched the cup of hot tea in her hands and felt that it wasn't that hot anymore.

Two hours ago, Yue Min came to this teahouse, intending to buy the teahouse.

"Miss Yue, please head upstairs." When the owner of the teahouse saw Yue Min, he immediately approached her with a smile. However, he was not fawning on her, he was dealing with her.

Obviously, the owner of the teahouse didn't want to give up this place, but considering the other party's status, he had no choice but to be a bit more polite. His gaze lingered on this small teahouse, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Yue Min happened to notice this as she nonchalantly walked upstairs. When he arrived at the reserved room, he casually took a seat and gestured for the owner to sit with him.

The two of them discussed silently. Yue Min offered many benefits to the other party as she tried to get their approval.

"Alright, since Miss Yue is so interested, this old one can only cower in love."

Initially, he thought Yue Min was spending a lot of money to buy the teahouse to make toys for herself. He never thought that she would be such an experienced person. This made the owner of the teahouse feel a little weird.

The two of them continued their conversation until the owner of the teahouse smiled and prepared to give up. Only then did Yue Min let go of her worries.

After taking a sip of tea, he glanced down from the window just in time to notice Lu Juyan and a woman going upstairs.

When she saw that the two of them didn't seem to have a close relationship with each other, the image of Lu Juyan and Du Liqing protesting together didn't cover up her appearance, causing her to feel secretly unhappy.

"See if I give you some face or not!" When the restaurant owner went out to retrieve his belongings, Yue Min immediately had the idea of taking care of Lu Juyan. A trace of light flashed in her eyes, she swore to make Du Liqing suffer.

Looking outside, he saw a waitress with a beautiful figure. The corner of her mouth hooked into a charming smile.

"Go get her." Yue Min crooked her fingers, beckoning the assistant behind her to come closer and whisper into her ear. She pointed her finger towards the waitress outside with a sinister smile on her face.

The assistant's body trembled slightly. She shook her head and did not say anything. Ye Zichen nodded, then quickly walked out, allowing the woman to follow her into the room.

As Yue Min saw someone walking in, she restrained the sinister look on her face. He took a sip of the tea on the table and made everyone sit down.

A very natural smile appeared on her lips as she whispered into Liu Ming's ear, "Lady, please go seduce that man downstairs. If you do well, the benefits will naturally be yours!"
