Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

Lin Qian woke up almost the instant Wen Shuyan touched her, and quickly stood up, feeling much more awake.

The chair scraped across the floor with a screeching sound as she moved.

Wen Shuyan's hand remained frozen in mid-air, a flicker of undisguised surprise crossing his eyes. Just then, Chen Xiaopan's voice rang out, "I'm back!"

She bought dinner and fruit and put them on the cabinet next to her.

Lin Qian looked at Wen Shuyan, her tone somewhat distant: "Then Xiao Pan and I will be leaving now."

Chen Xiaopan added, "Manager, you should get some rest!"

Wen Shuyan's eyes dimmed slightly, but he smiled and said, "Well, you guys go back to the hotel first."

-

The person from the C City branch quickly sent a message.

Assistant Gao printed out the photo and placed it in front of Lu Beiting.

The photo was taken in a hospital room. The woman had her eyes closed and was dozing off with her head turned to the side. The man next to her gently cradled her left cheek, looking down at her intently with tender and loving eyes.

The two were so close they seemed intimate, and their posture appeared unusually affectionate in the dim light.

"Oh."

Lu Beiting stared at the photo and let out a very soft, cold laugh.

He knew, of course, that a single photograph couldn't prove anything; it might just be a coincidence, or perhaps just a matter of angle.

But he could not quell the anger in his chest, which gradually devoured his reason, like a poisonous vine coiling around his heart, tightening more and more.

That night, Lu Beiting slept at the company and didn't fall asleep until four in the morning.

I didn't sleep well that night.

In my dream, time reversed, and that sentence kept echoing in my ears.

"Lu Beiting, we're not right for each other. Let's break up."

It's like going back to three years ago, back in college.

He saw Lin Qian wearing a familiar floral dress, her back to him, walking away step by step, and then naturally taking another man's hand.

The man slowly turned his head; he had a gentle and refined face.

Gentle, refined, and polite, she was the complete opposite of Lu Beiting's domineering and unruly nature.

Xiao Si, standing nearby, teased, "My God, Brother Lu, don't you think they're a perfect match? A handsome man and a beautiful woman, childhood sweethearts, growing up together—truly a case of lovers finally getting married!"

next second.

Lu Beiting suddenly opened his eyes, waking up from his dream. The veins on his forehead throbbed, and his eyes were filled with overwhelming jealousy.

-

The next day, Lin Qian changed her flight to the afternoon and didn't forget to send the flight information to Lu Beiting.

But the other party did not answer the phone, only replying with a faint voice message on WeChat:

Okay, I'll pick you up.

His tone seemed somewhat cold.

Is he unhappy?

Lin Qian lowered her eyes, feeling as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.

It was her first time in City C, and she spent the morning browsing around the most luxurious shopping mall with Chen Xiaopan.

Lin Qian walked into a ring shop, carefully selected rings for a long time, gritted her teeth, and spent more than 10,000 yuan, which she had saved up over two months, to buy a pair of newly released couple rings in full.

The man's ring was made of matte silver with a crescent moon design, sharp edges, and a cold, gleaming sheen, which suited his temperament perfectly.

The woman's ring was set with a small star-shaped diamond, which sparkled brilliantly under the light.

After paying the bill, Lin Qian picked up the ring gift box.

That's a huge loss.

Can we appease him?

-

The plane weaved through the white clouds and finally landed safely at the Imperial City Airport.

Wen Shuyan was, after all, an adult male with good physical condition. His high fever came on suddenly but subsided quickly. With timely medication, he had basically recovered after a night's rest and showed no signs of weakness from the previous night.

He said gently, "Let's go together later. I've already asked my driver to pick me up."

Chen Xiaopan nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Lin Qian shook her head. "No need, my boyfriend is here to pick me up."

Wen Shuyan paused, pulling his suitcase, his gaze lingering on the ring gift box on Lin Qian's hand.

"What is this?"

Lin Qian shook the gift box in her hand, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy:

"This? It's a couple's ring I bought for my boyfriend."

Chen Xiaopan nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's very expensive! It seems to be a limited edition, and it's super pretty~"

Wen Shuyan's smile gradually froze.

Lin Qian, carrying the gift box, couldn't help but imagine what Lu Beiting would look like wearing the ring.

Lu Beiting's hands are very sexy, with long, slender, pale fingers, truly the hands of a comic book artist.

Wearing a ring will definitely make you look both abstinent and sexy.

Just as she was thinking this, suddenly, a mischievous child ran out from behind her and bumped into Lin Qian's waist with perfect accuracy.

As Lin Qian leaned forward due to inertia, she lost her balance and almost fell over when a strong hand pressed down on her shoulder.

Wen Shuyan almost immediately released his suitcase and hugged Lin Qian, saying, "Be careful."

Lin Qian was still in shock. After quickly regaining her balance, she happened to see a Maybach with the license plate 京A88888 parked not far away.

The car window slowly rolled down halfway.

Lu Beiting raised his long, sharp phoenix eyes coldly, his gaze landing heavily on her, as if he wanted to nail her to the spot.

"Qianqian, are you alright?" Wen Shuyan's concerned voice rang in her ears as he held her shoulder.

"It's okay," Lin Qian pushed him away, "My boyfriend is here to pick me up, I have to go now, goodbye!"

After saying that, she picked up her suitcase and ran quickly toward Lu Beiting's car.

-

Black Maybach interior.

The temperature was cold, the air pressure was low, and there was a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere.

Assistant Gao didn't dare to breathe loudly, her back ramrod straight, and secretly turned the air conditioner up two degrees.

Even he saw it just now.

Ms. Lin was bumped by someone, but the man next to her caught her in time, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Although it seems like a fairly normal action.

But something just felt off, especially the man's eyes; they were so strange.

In the back seat, Lu Beiting wore a crisp black coat, his profile sharp and angular, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable.

He gave a cold laugh, and the last taut string in his mind snapped completely...
