A cold, sharp voice came from the girl's throat.

An Chen froze, raising his eyes in astonishment, only to be met with Rong Shang's cold face. "Yan Yan, you..."

Not only him, but Mu Jin was the most shocked person present.

With a half-smile, Rong Shang said, "An Chen, you know I don't like being lied to."

Her words had a hidden meaning.

Upon hearing this, An Chen clearly felt guilty.

"I...I didn't lie to you."

Whether it's there or not, you know the answer in your heart.

She glanced at him coldly, then took two steps back and stood beside Mu Jin.

An Chen was slapped in the face by a girl in front of everyone. He was humiliated and his hand clenched into a fist at his side.

It's clear he's angry.

But he was not convinced. Why was Xia Yan always defending Mu Jin lately?

There were too many people here, and An Chen didn't want to say anything that would make him lose face. He rubbed his sore face, glanced at Mu Jin first, and then looked at Rong Shang in front of him.

"Yan Yan, tonight's incident was a misunderstanding. I'll explain it to you another day. It's getting late, shall I take you home?"

He tried his best to portray himself as a good boyfriend, wanting to create the illusion that he and Xia Yan had a good relationship.

Little did he know, Rong Shang simply wouldn't give him face, saying, "No need, I can go back by myself."

Rong Shang glanced at Mu Jin, seemingly casually, then turned and left.

As soon as she left, Mu Jin strode after her.

"Ah Jin!"

Fang Xinyi looked displeased in the crowd. She instinctively wanted to follow him out, but her brother stopped her.

"Alright, can't you see? Ah Jin already has someone he likes, so stop meddling in his affairs."

"elder brother."

Even her own brother wouldn't help her, so Fang Xinyi frowned and simply walked in another direction.

"well."

Helpless, Fang Shiyou shook his head. "Let's go, let's go."

His words drew away all the team members.

As soon as there were fewer people, the surrounding area immediately became quiet.

At this point, An Chen could no longer hold back, and he kicked the ground hard several times.

Damn it!

Even he himself didn't know why her coldness towards him made him so irritable.

Seeing things escalate to this point, those who had spoken ill of Xia Yan that afternoon were now starting to feel embarrassed.

Someone walked up and patted An Chen on the shoulder, asking, "Chen, what happened between you and Xia Yan?"

"Yeah, bro, isn't she your girlfriend? Why are you siding with outsiders and going to speak up for Mu Jin instead?"

The person speaking in front of him was the one who had insulted Xia Yan the most that afternoon. Seeing him again now, An Chen felt a surge of anger and swung his fist at the man's face.

"Aww!"

A scream rang out, and the people present were instantly stunned.

"You still know she's my girlfriend!?"

Angrily, he kicked her again, scratched his hair, and left with a livid face.

Behind them, the boy who had been hit by An Chen was helped up by the others. His face was as black as ink, and he couldn't help but spit as he watched An Chen's departing figure.

"What the hell?!" the boy cursed angrily. "Is this guy crazy?"

"If he really likes Xia Yan that much, why didn't he get angry when I talked to him about her this afternoon?"

Now that Xia Yan has made him unhappy, he's turning around and settling scores with him?

What the hell is this?!

The boy was furious, but fortunately there were people around him to comfort him.

"Alright, alright, Ah Chen is probably just feeling annoyed, so don't take it to heart."
