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

After that night, Bai Yishu disappeared.

She left behind a mess that night, disappearing completely as if she had never appeared in He Yun Shen's life, yet leaving an indelible mark on his life.

He Yun Shen ran into He Wan Qing a few times, but refrained from asking her about Bai Yi Shu's whereabouts.

It wasn't until two months later, at He Wanqing's birthday party, that Bai Yishu saw him again.

He Yun Shen was exchanging pleasantries with someone when he caught a glimpse of that familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and his fingers gripping the wine glass tightened suddenly.

His gaze unconsciously followed Bai Yishu. Realizing his lapse in composure, he immediately looked away, his tone somewhat stiff.

Excuse me for a moment.

He Yun Shen decided to avoid Bai Yi Shu and walked in the opposite direction from her, but couldn't help but look back.

He saw Bai Yishu chatting happily with someone else, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked over to her.

"Miss Bai, it's been a long time."

He Yunshen's tone remained calm, but his eyes held a complex mix of anger at being tricked and an indescribable longing.

Bai Yishu turned around and met He Yunshen's gaze with a distant attitude.

"Miss Bai disappeared for two months, and upon her return, she attended Wan Qing's birthday party. She seems to be in a good mood."

He Yun Shen swirled his wine glass, his gaze fixed on the liquid inside.

"Have you had a good time these past two months?"

Bai Yishu took a sip of the red wine in her glass, her eyes darting around as if savoring it.

After a moment, she answered He Yun Shen's question in a calm and unhurried manner.

"I'm so happy."

Shen Yun Shen maintained his smile, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"That's good. I thought Miss Bai might be in a bad mood because of something."

Bai Yishu glanced around and spoke casually.

"I never dwell on people or things from the past."

Upon hearing this, He Yun Shen's expression froze for a moment, and his hands, hanging at his sides, unconsciously clenched.

"I see. Miss Bai is indeed ruthless. She can forget things from the past year so easily."

He gave a cold laugh, his eyes filled with indifference.

"So, does Miss Bai have a new target now?"

Bai Yishu rubbed her ears impatiently and said coldly, "Whether it's true or not is not Mr. He's concern."

He Yun Shen's face darkened, and he stepped forward to get closer to Bai Yi Shu.

"Miss Bai is right, I was just being nosy."

"However, Miss Bai, don't forget, things between us aren't so easily forgotten."

His sharp gaze swept across Bai Yishu's face as he lowered his voice.

"After all, the He family and the Bai family have a very good personal relationship, and there will be many more opportunities to meet in the future."

Bai Yishu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, looking at He Yunshen with a playful expression.

"Is Mr. He looking forward to meeting me?"

A hint of unease flashed in He Yun Shen's eyes, and he coughed lightly.

"Miss Bai, you're joking. I'm just reminding you not to go too far, after all, the circle is only so big."

He placed the cup he was holding on the table, and the tabletop made a soft sound.

"Or does Miss Bai think I really won't do anything to you?"

Bai Yishu looked up and met He Yunshen's gaze. Suddenly, she smiled and her slender fingers touched He Yunshen's chest. She gently pulled his tie down to the bottom and played with it between her fingers, completely ignoring the gazes that others might cast at her.

"Are you willing to part with it?"

He Yun's breath hitched, and he instantly grabbed Bai Yishu's restless hand with astonishing force.

"Whether you're willing to give it up or not, I'm afraid Miss Bai won't be able to bear the consequences."

Bai Yishu completely ignored his warning and instead provoked him with her eyes.

"Then give it a try."

He Yun Shen and Bai Yi Shu stared at each other for a moment, then suddenly his eyes darkened. He grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the banquet hall, through a long corridor to the terrace, where he pinned her against the wall in the shadows.

"Two months ago you treated everything like a transaction, and now you're trying to provoke me again. Do you really think I won't lose control?"

He placed one hand on top of Bai Yishu's head, the wind from the river blowing from behind, ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead and obscuring the dark and unpredictable emotions in his eyes.

Bai Yishu chuckled, showing no restraint whatsoever. Instead, she raised her hand and ran her fingertips across his slightly trembling Adam's apple.

"You look quite sexy when you lose control."

He Yun Shen's body stiffened, the dark fire in his eyes almost burning away his reason. He pressed Bai Yi Shu's hands against the wall and leaned forward to suppress her.

"...Fine, I don't want to hurt you, but I want you to remember the consequences of messing with me."

He Yun Shen lowered his head and approached Bai Yi Shu. As their breaths mingled, he caught a glimpse of someone who had come to the terrace to enjoy the view, and stopped a few centimeters away from her lips.

"Tell me, what do you think if everyone here saw Miss Bai and me being so intimate on the terrace?"

Bai Yishu glanced at the figures by the terrace and a smile played on her lips.

"Then we'll be on the front page of the news."

"Should I grant your wish?"

He Yun Shen chuckled softly, a dangerous glint in his eyes. He gently pinched the back of Bai Yi Shu's neck with his fingers, his breath brushing against her lips.

"Once you're on the front page, Miss Bai will have no way out."

Bai Yishu blinked, making an innocent expression.

"Then I would say... that Mr. He forced me."

He Yun Shen raised an eyebrow and lightly touched Bai Yi Shu's lips with his fingertips.

"Heh, Miss Bai really has a good plan."

"Unfortunately, there are no security cameras here."

He Yun Shen lowered his head and whispered in Bai Yi Shu's ear, his tone ambiguous.

"When the time comes, if I say you did it voluntarily, Ms. Bai, who do you think the media will believe?"

Bai Yishu snorted coldly, looked up and saw people gradually walking towards her from the terrace, and a wicked thought flashed through her mind.

She lowered her hands, gripped the hem of her skirt at the edge of her knees, and suddenly ripped it, a tearing sound piercing the night sky.

He Yun Shen's pupils contracted sharply, instantly understanding her intention. His face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, whispering, "Bai Yi Shu, you..."

Her skirt was pulled up to her mid-thigh, revealing her fair skin. Bai Yishu's face was already covered in tears, and she stared at He Yunshen with a look of horror.

"Mr. He, please don't..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and she deliberately raised her voice so that those around her could hear.

People came over at the sound, and He Yun Shen, unable to stop her in time, had no choice but to let go of her and take a step back.

He Yun Shen's cold gaze pierced Bai Yi Shu, but his actions before and after made him look like a flustered person caught red-handed.

Bai Yishu leaned against the wall, her body hunched over, her hands tightly gripping the torn hem of her skirt. She was crying, her long eyelashes trembling violently like a pair of startled butterfly wings.

Looking at Bai Yishu's aggrieved appearance, He Yunshen felt both angry and pained, but he couldn't explain himself to others.

"Miss Bai, you've got some tricks up your sleeve."

The eyes of those around them turned to them, and everyone whispered among themselves.

He Yun took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure, and turned to face the crowd of onlookers.

"There's nothing else here, everyone please leave."

Everyone was wary of He Yun Shen's authority and dared not say anything more, turning around and leaving one after another.

Bai Yishu swiftly grabbed a girl's arm, her voice broken and incoherent.

"Please, please help me..."

Seeing this, the girl couldn't bear it, so she immediately took off her shawl and draped it over Bai Yishu's shoulders, protecting her as she left the terrace. Before leaving, she didn't forget to glare at He Yun Shen.

Bai Yishu left under escort. After walking a few meters, she turned back to look at He Yunshen, who was still standing there. A faint smile appeared on her face, which was still wet with tears.
