The two exchanged a glance, and Yuan Heng quickly understood.

"He had been pestering A-Lang to come on vacation with him, but A-Lang flew over first. A-Lang is a woman of her word, so she still met with him. He was overjoyed to go with her, but A-Lang refused."

Sheng Xuan nodded in agreement, "That's why he looks so sullen and has that arrogant look that he doesn't like anyone!"

Yuan Heng rolled his eyes and snorted, "What does it matter to us whether he's heartbroken or not? What we need to know is where A-Lang is!"

“She’s right here,” Sheng Xuan said with certainty.

Yuan Heng looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure? Are you sure?"

Sheng Xuan gave a wicked smirk and whispered, "His unwilling yet helpless look clearly indicates he's wondering if there's any way out. Otherwise, what would he be doing here? Locked in his suite, sleeping and on vacation?"

"You mean—he'll go see Alang again?" Yuan Heng asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Sheng Xuan said. “He wouldn’t tell us because he didn’t want to give me this opportunity, and he would try his best to seize it and do everything he could to please her.”

Yuan Heng thought for a moment, then frowned and exclaimed in surprise, "He knows that A-Lang is sick?!"

“He should know,” Sheng Xuan said calmly. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm. Even if they were just ordinary friends, how could they remain indifferent when they learned that the other person was seriously ill and even needed surgery?”

"Damn it!" Yuan Heng cursed angrily, "That's disgusting! True love means that as long as the other person is well and happy, you're willing to suffer silently..."

"You know a lot?" Sheng Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Forehead?

Yuan Heng shut up awkwardly and whispered, "Isn't that how it's always portrayed on TV and in movies?"

"Go away!" Sheng Xuan snorted. "In movies, the female lead leaves the male lead, and the male lead travels all over the world to find her. She is immediately moved to tears, hugs the male lead and cries uncontrollably. The two immediately get married and live happily ever after, promising to never be separated for all eternity. I've already come looking for her, and she doesn't even want to see me! What a load of bull in movies!"

Jiang Lirong is here. She's so smart, how could she not have guessed that I would come looking for her too?

She's clearly avoiding me on purpose!

The elevator doors opened, and the two stepped out one after the other.

Yuan Heng asked, "What are the next steps?"

Sheng Xuan glanced upstairs and saw that the second floor was a restaurant with a semi-open design. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go eat first!"

Yuan Heng immediately turned around and walked into the elevator, but Sheng Xuan pulled him out and led him up the steps.

Once on the second floor, Sheng Xuan deliberately chose a seat on the outside.

Yuan Heng was terrified of being hungry, so he ordered five or six dishes in one go.

"What do you want to eat? You can order for yourself!"

Sheng Xuan glanced absentmindedly in the direction of the elevator and said, "I'm not picky about food, just add a couple more dishes."

Yuan Heng casually pointed to a few more items, tossed the menu to the waiter, and couldn't help but tease, "You're not picky about food either? I suddenly realize you and A-Lang have a lot in common. Are you deliberately imitating her? Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xuan lowered his eyes.

“I wasn’t like this before. She changed me little by little. When I was young, I had all the bad habits of a spoiled brat. I was so picky that the cooks cried. She forced me to eat only the food in the school cafeteria. If I could eat that, the food at home was simply the best. Over time, I unconsciously got rid of my bad habit of being a picky eater.”

"Oh." Yuan Heng rolled his eyes.

The two ate heartily until Sheng Xuan suddenly stopped eating, his bright eyes half-closed and his chin tilted to the side.

"Quick! Check out! The snake's out of its hole!"
