Yu Jiamu glanced at Chen Tiantian indifferently.

"I'm going to the restroom."

He stood up, but didn't head towards the restroom.

Instead, they opened the wooden door at the bottom of the stairs and squeezed into the small storage room.

Chen Tiantian arrived shortly after.

Yu Jiamu glared at her and said coldly, "What exactly do you want to say to me?"

Chen Tiantian looked up and said, "Brother Jiamu, you can't marry her."

Yu Jiamu gave a soft chuckle.

"You already said that yesterday, and the reasons you gave then don't convince me."

He reached into his pocket, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and lit them.

The storage room was dark, with only a few slivers of light filtering through the slightly ajar door.

Now there's that little flame between Yu Jiamu's fingers.

This further accentuates his fatal sex appeal.

"Now, have you thought of a new reason?"

He slightly closed his eyelids, looking down at her with an almost seductive tone.

In a moment of impulsiveness, Chen Tiantian completely forgot Yu Jiaheng's warning to her.

"Because Lingzhen's child isn't yours!"

Yu Jiamu's fingertips trembled.

Do you know what you're saying?

“I know, and I have evidence.”

With trembling hands, Chen Tiantian flipped out the photo and handed it to him.

The light from the phone screen shone on Yu Jiamu's face, clearly revealing the frost gradually forming in his eyes.

Knowing that the photos had successfully provoked him, Chen Tiantian quickly added fuel to the fire.

"If she were a good girl, why would she mess around outside, and how could she have been photographed like this?"

“Brother Jiamu, you’ve only known her for a short time, you have no idea what kind of person she is.”

"Ling Zhen may look innocent, but she's actually rotten to the core! She's been with countless men and doesn't deserve you at all."

Although he was mentally prepared, Yu Jiamu was still taken aback when he actually saw the photos.

Imagine Ling Zhen, completely unaware, lying on the bed, being manipulated by others.

He was still furious and on the verge of going crazy.

I wish I could tear everyone involved to pieces.

Yu Jiamu forced himself to flip through the entire photo album.

When he looked up, his canine teeth were already grinding painfully.

"Does anyone still have these photos?"

Chen Tiantian flinched, startled by his gaze.

No, that's all.

Yu Jiamu saw the hesitation in her eyes, and his gaze became even colder and more piercing.

Chen Tiantian's heart trembled like a reed under his gaze.

I could only use the excuse I had prepared beforehand to get by.

“Those people are all scum of society. I paid them money and they deleted all the negatives.”

Chen Tiantian was incredibly grateful that Chi Kaifeng had gone back to his hometown after that night, otherwise she would have been really worried that he would let something slip.

"And I kept the photos safe after I got them, and I never showed them to anyone except you."

"So, you're helping Ling Zhen?"

Yu Jiamu chuckled softly, his eyes crinkling slightly.

But the more he acted like that, the more strange a sense of oppression he exuded.

Previously, Chen Tiantian only knew that Yu Jiaheng was ruthless.

It turns out that Jia Mu, the brother I've been infatuated with for so many years, also has such a terrifying side.

Under his gaze, Chen Tiantian's psychological defenses gradually began to crumble.

"Yu Jiaheng?"

Upon hearing those three words, Chen Tiantian seemed to have a switch flipped.

He immediately retorted in alarm.

"Absolutely not, this has absolutely nothing to do with Yu Jiaheng!"

Seeing her reaction, Yu Jiamu already knew what was going on.

He lowered his eyes, gripping his phone tightly in one hand, while the other hand, holding a cigarette, cracked his knuckles.

"I just called out a name, I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?"

Chen Tiantian also realized that her reaction seemed a bit too much.

"I...I misheard."

Yu Jiamu took a deep drag on his cigarette, then threw the burnt-out butt on the ground.

Rotate your ankle to crush that scarlet spark.

He leaned down and moved slightly closer to Chen Tiantian.

A thick cloud of grayish-white smoke billowed in her face.

"Oh, I knew it."

Chen Tiantian couldn't help but start coughing.

I coughed so hard my eyes were watering.

But she still reached out and grabbed Yu Jiamu's sleeve, her humility reaching its peak.

"Brother Jiamu, I've actually always liked you, for many years."

"Yeah?"

Yu Jiamu laughed and unceremoniously shook off Chen Tiantian's hand.

The force was so great that she staggered back two steps.

"What business is it of mine if you like me?"

Yu Jiamu smashed Chen Tiantian's phone without any expression.

Chen Tiantian covered her mouth: "Brother Jiamu..."

"How does it feel to have been a daughter of the Chen family for over twenty years?"

"Heh, cherish it well."

As soon as Yu Jiamu returned to her side, Lin Zhenzhen smelled a faint lemon scent.

This smells like a certain deodorizing product.

In the past, Yu Jiamu would spray some of this after smoking on the balcony before going inside.

According to Lin Zhenzhen's observation, Yu Jiamu's smoking habit was not severe.

He just had a habit of smoking when he was upset.

And he smoked it very quickly, taking half a puff in one go.

Lin Zhenzhen looked up and saw Yu Jiamu's taut jawline.

Two seconds later, he reached his hand out from under the table and grasped her hand tightly.

Lin Zhenzhen was somewhat surprised to feel a thin layer of sweat on his palm.

I couldn't help but wonder what had happened and why I was so nervous.

The two held hands tightly until Mr. Yu got up.

"Let's settle on these things for today, and discuss the details later."

He turned to look at Yu Jiamu: "We're going back now."

"Uncle Chen, thank you for your hospitality."

Yu Jiamu naturally led Lin Zhenzhen outside.

Mr. Yu stopped in his tracks.

"Wait, come with me. Xiaozhen is staying here."

Yu Jiamu didn't let go, and asked instead, "Why?"

Mr. Yu frowned and said, "Are you in a habit of fooling around? You're not even married yet, and you're already trying to steal her away in front of her father?"

Yu Jiamu still refused to let go, and even raised his chin, looking at his father with an extremely aggressive expression.

Lin Zhenzhen knew that he had just been traumatized.

He's like a lion guarding its food now, completely mad; he'll bite anyone who dares to stop him.

She took the initiative to break free from Yu Jiamu's grasp.

He mouthed: You can go now.

Yu Jiamu stared at her for a long time before finally relenting.

"When you go upstairs, lock the door from the inside, and don't open it no matter what noise you hear."

Lin Zhenzhen nodded.

The Chen family escorted the two of them to the car door.

Watching the black sedan disappear at the intersection, Chen Houwen turned to Lin Zhenzhen and said.

"Come in, I have something to tell you."
