The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.

Jiang Ci noticed that Bai Yishu's expression was not good and looked in the direction of her gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Yishu quickly looked away and turned her back.

"What's he doing here?"

Jiang Ci said dismissively, "Him? He's the heir of the He family. It's not surprising that he'd come to an event like this."

Just as Bai Yishu was about to speak, she noticed that He Yun Shen seemed to have noticed her, and immediately hid behind Jiang Ci.

"Hey, why are you hiding?"

Jiang Ci was initially puzzled by Bai Yishu's actions, but then noticed He Yunshen's gaze. His eyes darted around, and he immediately realized that their relationship was not simple.

"Tell me the truth, what exactly happened between you two?"

"Hey, don't talk."

Jiang Ci subconsciously shut up, but her gossipy eyes couldn't help but dart towards He Yun Shen's direction, and she cooperated with Bai Yi Shu to shield her behind her.

"Your reaction...it's obvious there's a story behind it..."

Before Jiang Ci could finish speaking, He Yun Shen had already walked through the crowd.

Jiang Ci looked at his gloomy face and became even more curious, but still greeted him politely.

"Mr. He, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to touch Bai Yishu's arm, secretly speculating about the relationship between the two.

Bai Yishu knew she couldn't escape this time. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and nodded to He Yunshen.

"Mr. He."

He Yun Shen nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on Bai Yi Shu.

"Miss Bai, we meet again."

His face was tense, his tone restrained, and he finally turned his gaze to Jiang Ci beside him.

"And this is...?"

Seeing that Jiang Ci had his hands in his pockets and showed no intention of speaking, Bai Yishu introduced him, "Jiang Ci came back from abroad specifically to attend Grandpa's birthday banquet."

As He Yun Shen listened to Bai Yi Shu's introduction, the hostility in his eyes lessened somewhat.

"So you're the young master of the Jiang family. I've heard so much about you."

He Yunshen spoke calmly, exuding an aloofness. He reached out and shook hands with Jiang Ci, and a spark seemed to flash between them as their eyes met.

"Mr. He, you're too kind."

Jiang Ci felt the strength of He Yunshen's handshake, sneered inwardly, and returned the handshake with equal force, his face remaining expressionless.

He withdrew his hand and pulled Bai Yishu to his side.

"Yi Shu, how did you and Mr. He meet? I've never heard you mention it before."

"that……"

Seeing Bai Yishu stammering, He Yun Shen spoke first.

"Miss Bai is my niece's friend; we've had a few interactions before."

He Yun Shen stared intently at Bai Yi Shu, as if warning her with his eyes not to say anything more, and then looked at Jiang Ci.

"Young Master Jiang and Miss Bai seem to have a very good relationship?"

Worried that Jiang Ci might say something inappropriate, Bai Yishu immediately replied, "We've known each other since we were little."

"Really? Then you must be childhood sweethearts, with a deep and lasting bond."

He Yun Shen appeared calm on the surface, but his gaze lingered on Bai Yi Shu's arm linked with Jiang Ci's.

"I wonder if Young Master Jiang plans to stay in China for an extended period this time?"

Jiang Ci sensed the hidden meaning in He Yunshen's words and, not to be outdone, stretched out his arm to put his arm around Bai Yishu's shoulder, his eyes flashing with a sharp edge.

"Yes, I'm not leaving this time. The elders in my family are all hoping I'll come back to take over the family business."

Jiang Ci turned his head to look at Bai Yishu, his actions intimate, and deliberately added a comment.

"Right, Yi Shu? We'll have plenty of time to get together in the future."

Bai Yishu smiled bitterly as she watched Jiang Ci raise his eyebrows, cautiously observing He Yun Shen's reaction.

He Yunshen's eyes darkened, and he said with a forced smile, "Then congratulations, Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Ci couldn't wait to gossip about their relationship, so she pretended to be calm as she met He Yun Shen's murderous expression.

"Excuse me, Mr. He, Yi Shu and I need to go and say hello to Grandpa, so please excuse us."

Jiang Ci led Bai Yishu out of the crowd and to a secluded corner, stopping only after confirming that no one was paying attention.

"Yi Shu, tell me honestly, what's going on between you and him? The way he looks at you is really strange."

Bai Yishu knew that Jiang Ci wouldn't give up until he got an answer today, so she had no choice but to tell him what had happened between him and He Yunshen.

Jiang Ci listened to Bai Yishu's story with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief, and it took him a while to react.

"That was way too exciting!"

Jiang Ci covered her mouth and gasped softly.

"No wonder he looked at me like that, like he wanted to eat me alive. It was terrifying."

Bai Yishu shrugged helplessly and joked, "What, isn't he your type?"

"No, no, no!"

Jiang Ci quickly waved his hand and exaggeratedly shook his body.

"He is indeed handsome, but his aura is too strong, making it hard to breathe. I like men who are passionate, romantic, and good at sweet talk."

Jiang Ci kept a close eye on whether anyone was passing by, and lowered his voice.

"But what are you planning to do? He doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with. Have you thought it through?"

Bai Yishu pursed her lips, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. After hesitating for a moment, she told Jiang Ci what was on her mind.

"The problem now is not my feelings for him, but that he can't admit his feelings for me. I just want to hear him say he loves me, but he won't."

When Bai Yishu brought this up, the grievances in her heart welled up again, and her nose unconsciously felt a soreness once more.

"So you've been dragging this on with him just to get him to admit his feelings for you?"

Jiang Ci frowned and sighed softly.

"Yi Shu, when it comes to matters of the heart, sometimes the more you push, the more counterproductive it becomes."

He looked in the direction of He Yun Shen, a glint of inspiration suddenly flashing in his eyes, and looked at Bai Yi Shu with a wicked smile.

"I have an idea that might make him anxious and upset, and he might accidentally reveal his true feelings."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yishu became interested and moved closer to Jiang Ci.

"What is it?"

"It's simple, just take advantage of his possessiveness."

Jiang Ci's eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement as he spoke mysteriously.

"Wasn't he quite upset when he saw me with you? Let's deliberately let him see some more intimate scenes and see if he can still keep his composure."

Bai Yishu's smile froze on her face. She should have realized that what Jiang Ci said wouldn't be a good solution.

"You mean make him jealous?"

"That's right! That's exactly what we want to do—make him jealous!"

Jiang Ci nodded vigorously, put his hands on his hips, and explained confidently, "Think about it, he cares about you so much. If he sees you being intimate with another man, he'll definitely be angry. Maybe in his anxiety, he won't be able to help but confess his feelings to you and say what you want to hear."

Jiang Ci became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't wait to carry out this prank.

"How about it? Dare to give it a try?"

Bai Yishu pondered for a moment. Although she knew that Jiang Ci's method was a last resort, she didn't seem to have any better options at the moment.

Besides, she was also curious about how far He Yun Shen would go for her if he were really jealous.

"Then let's give it a try."
