Cui Linye personally led his sister through the crowd, just to give her some dignity. His attitude directly determined how others treated Cui Chuwei.

Even though many people harbored deep-seated malice towards Cui Chuwei, a former commoner, they dared not show it.

They must clearly realize one thing: they must maintain their public image and cultivate good interpersonal relationships.

Compared to their dislike for Cui Chuwei, a commoner, they would much rather cultivate a good relationship with her as a noblewoman, because only by improving their relationship could they gain more benefits.

Su Yuyao looked at Cui Linye in the distance, his expression unchanged.

He turned to Jiang Xianyu and said, "Your banquet should be over by now. I won't stay any longer. My girlfriend and I need to go back quickly; we still have a lot of things to take care of."

Jiang Xianyu didn't even glance at Jiang Tian, ​​and simply said, "Okay, then you can go back now. Contact me anytime if anything comes up."

Su Yuyao smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, but if Cui Chuwei does anything she shouldn't do, you must remind me. I can't let her get me into a trap."

Su Yuyao and Jiang Xianyu had both interacted with Cui Chuwei before, so under certain circumstances, their attitudes toward Cui Chuwei were the same.

They all looked down on Cui Chuwei from the bottom of their hearts.

Jiang Xianyu readily nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you know if anything unexpected happens."

"Okay, then I'll go do my thing."

The conflict between the two of them seemed insignificant at this moment.

When it really comes down to it, they will always stand together. This is the tacit understanding and confidence they have developed over a long period of time together.

Su Yuyao left the banquet with Jiang Tian.

The two returned to the car, but Su Yuyao did not let the driver get in immediately. Instead, he asked him to wait on the side for a while.

The driver naturally did whatever the young master said, after all, he was being paid by him, so how could he dare to say "no" to him?

Inside the car, Su Yuyao suddenly looked at Jiang Tian, ​​his eyes narrowed, and his expression was unusually solemn.

He stared at Jiang Tian for a long time before slowly asking, "What exactly is wrong with you?"

Jiang Tian looked at him calmly and asked in return, "What do you mean?"

"I've noticed... you seem to know Cui Linye. Or is there some complicated connection between you two?"

Jiang Tian looked at Su Yuyao, her tone still calm: "Do you know the secret to a good relationship between couples?"

"What is it?" Su Yuyao asked subconsciously.

"That means don't pry. If I want to tell you something, I will tell you at the appropriate time. If I don't want to tell you now, it means I have something I can't say. Please respect that, okay?"

Talking about respect with a rich young master sounds like a dream.

However, when Su Yuyao faced Jiang Tian's gaze, he remembered the principle of equal love that the two of them had agreed on before. No matter how many emotions he had in his heart, he didn't say anything more.

But he was still sulking.

Jiang Tian noticed his displeasure, paused briefly, and then said to him very seriously, "Cui Linye and I do have a connection, but our connection absolutely does not involve love, so you don't need to worry. I would never do anything to betray you. During the duration of our relationship, I will always remain loyal to you."

"If you don't trust me, you can trust your own abilities. If I really wanted to do something to betray you, do you think I would have the chance?"

Jiang Tian's words finally calmed Su Yuyao down.

Su Yuyao thought about it and realized that it made sense.

How could he possibly give Jiang Tian the opportunity to betray him?

Jiang Tian must remain loyal to him one-on-one until his feelings for her have completely ended.

Jiang Tian seemed to understand all of this, but Su Yuyao held back for a while before finally asking, "So, will you and Cui Linye have any further contact in the future? Or rather, will the two of you contact each other privately?"

“I’m not trying to make things difficult for you. I’m just worried about your safety as your boyfriend. You have to understand that Cui Linye is no ordinary person. If he wants to do something, sometimes even I can’t stop him. So I still suggest that you stay as far away from him as possible.”

Seeing that Jiang Tian remained silent, Su Yuyao said even more: "Don't worry, I'm not deliberately restricting your personal freedom. I'm really thinking about your safety. I'm thinking of you..."

Su Yuyao became less and less confident as he spoke.

He admitted that his subsequent addition was somewhat self-deceptive.

But he just couldn't let it go.

He rattled off this long string of words in one breath, completely unlike his previous self.

A smile appeared in Jiang Tian's eyes. She looked at Su Yuyao and said with a grin, "I didn't expect you to have such an adorable side... You know, your attitude towards some people before made me think you were a bully. I thought you couldn't consider things from other people's perspectives at all. But today, the way you wanted to ask but didn't dare to was really kind of cute—"

"……What?"

Su Yuyao thought to himself, "How old am I? How can I still be described as cute?"

His face was already red.

He was glad it was nighttime, so his blush wouldn't be easily noticed.

To his surprise, Jiang Tian actually saw through it.

She said to him earnestly, "Your face is red."

Now Su Yuyao's face turned completely red, and he stammered, "I...I'm not blushing, I'm...I'm a little hot."

"Then let's open the car window."

Jiang Tian smiled and opened the car window.

Su Yuyao lowered his head and coughed lightly, unsure of what to say.

But Jiang Tian spoke first. She straightened her posture and said to Su Yuyao with great certainty, "Don't worry, I won't contact him first. Things between us are a bit complicated. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will definitely tell you, but I haven't thought it through yet, so I hope you can continue to trust me. As your girlfriend, I would never do anything to hurt you. And you won't be easily hurt by others either."

Su Yuyao agreed with her.

How could he be easily hurt? He has always been in a position of initiative and authority, and no one has ever been able to easily harm a single hair on his head.

Since Jiang Tian truly had something difficult to say, Su Yuyao didn't press her further.

He kept telling himself that he had to be a good boyfriend.

A good boyfriend should be considerate to his girlfriend at all times.

"Well, I have something else to say..." After a long pause, Su Yuyao slowly began to speak.
