"Su Jin, it's all in the past." Qin Wan swallowed the sandwich in her mouth and smiled faintly.

Seeing Qin Wan's calm expression, as if all the past events had become a thing of the past, Su Jin's heart was overwhelmed with complex emotions.

He looked at Qin Wan, hesitating to speak...

Qin Wan didn't give him a chance, and looked at Huo Yu who had just entered the room.

"They're here."

Huo Yu's gaze swept lightly over Su Jin, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly, but relaxing when he saw Qin Wan.

"Hmm, just finished a meeting, how was the sandwich?" Huo Yu asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was taken aback and looked at Su Jin with surprise, "A sandwich?"

Su Jin felt wronged by Qin Wan's avoidance. When the topic of the sandwich came up, he said with resentment, "That was made for you by Huo Yu himself, not by me."

Qin Wan: "..." He didn't deny it when she asked him just now.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan frowned and glanced at Su Jin indifferently.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that Su Jin wasn't entirely indifferent to the original owner of this body...

Judging from his behavior after returning to China yesterday, he may not have realized it himself, but Su Jin's behavior did indeed deliberately disrupt her time alone with Huo Yu.

Thinking of this, a faint trace of annoyance flashed across Qin Wan's eyes.

She really disliked Su Jin's behavior.

We don't cherish what we have until we lose it and regret it.

If she really is the original owner of this body, after so many years of unrequited love, she finally let go of Su Jin, decided to start her new life, and was finally willing to accept Huo Yu, this new person.

But Su Jin suddenly returned, suddenly appeared, and tried to disrupt her hard-won peace of life once again...

With this in mind, Qin Wan silently made her choice.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Qin Wan asked Huo Yu with concern.

"Yes, I just finished and then I received a call from the company." Huo Yu nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan quickly urged, "Then eat quickly, you still have to come with me to the film set after you finish eating."

Huo Yu's words suddenly stopped...

He looked up at Qin Wan, his gaze intense, and asked, "You... want me to go to the film set with you?"

Qin Wan looked at him in surprise, "Do you have other plans?"

"No."

Huo Yu blurted out, completely forgetting his secretary's instructions from just minutes earlier.

"Then come with me. It's my first time going to a film set to shoot costume photos, and I'm a little nervous."

"Okay." Huo Yu's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Then hurry up and eat your breakfast. We'll set off together after you finish." With that, Qin Wan considerately pushed Huo Yu's breakfast in front of him.

Huo Yu sat down with a smile and slowly finished his breakfast under Qin Wan's watchful gaze.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Wan rested her chin on her hand and watched him intently...

Seeing the interaction between the two, Su Jin felt very annoyed.

He didn't know why he was irritated, but he just felt that the scene in front of him was an eyesore and made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

"I'm full. It's a bit stuffy in the room, so I'm going outside for some fresh air."

Su Jin suddenly stood up. When Qin Wan and Huo Yu looked over, he completely ignored Huo Yu's gaze and stared straight at Qin Wan.

“…Go ahead,” Qin Wan said calmly.

The increasingly obvious differential treatment made Su Jin feel very uncomfortable.

He used to be the one who was favored, but now he's the one who's been ignored. That huge sense of loss and an indescribable emotion overwhelmed him...

Su Jin was very upset and irritable. She walked out of Qin Wan's house without looking back.

Watching Su Jin's departing figure, Huo Yu calmly looked at Qin Wan and said, "You did that on purpose."

"Mm." Qin Wan met his gaze for a second, without denying it.

"I've already let go, so even if he comes back, I won't be the same Qin Wan I used to be," Qin Wan said calmly.

Huo Yuzhuo stared intently at her, afraid of missing even the slightest emotional fluctuation in her face and eyes.

Qin Wan neither flinched nor dodged, letting him scrutinize her.

After a brief eye contact, Huo Yu suddenly said with a serious expression, "I do."

"What?" Qin Wan was taken aback.

"I said, I'm willing to be your tool if you need me..." Huo Yu paused, then added.

"The kind of willingness."

Their eyes met, and seeing the sincerity in Huo Yu's eyes, Qin Wan was taken aback at first, but then she smiled.

"I'm so glad to hear you say yes."

"But I still want to explain that I have no intention of using you, and I would never do such a thing."

As she spoke, Qin Wan suddenly grabbed a tissue, stood up, bent down, and leaned closer to Huo Yu. Her slender, fair fingers gently wiped away the trace of sauce remaining on the corner of his lips...

"Huo Yu, I forgot to tell you something..."

"What?"

"I'm just like you, a very serious person."

"From the moment I agreed to your request, I have been seriously accepting you."

"Just like you said, I am beautiful, intelligent, have a good figure, have a simple romantic history, my family background matches yours, and my education and personal abilities are outstanding."

"The same is true for me."

"I choose you..."

As she spoke, the stained tissue slipped from Qin Wan's fingers.

Her warm fingertips accidentally touched his burning thin lips...

In that instant, she could clearly feel Huo Yu's body suddenly stiffen.

Qin Wan lowered her eyes to hide the faint smile that flashed across them, her long, curved eyelashes trembling slightly.

She seemed to be thinking seriously, as if she was trying to muster up her courage...

"I chose you willingly."

"Although we've only known each other for a short time, and we don't even really know each other well, Huo Yu, I feel for you..."

"I really like him."

I have a good impression of him...

I have a crush on her...

She admitted that she had feelings for him...

[Huo Yu's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 48.]

At the entrance, Su Jin, who had just walked in, froze, completely stunned on the spot.

Qin Wan...

Qin Wan and Huo Yu were actually...

They were in that kind of relationship?

Qin Wan said she had a strong liking for Huo Yu...

Qin Wan has a strong liking for Huo Yu...

This sentence kept echoing in Su Jin's mind.

Qin Wan has grown up, and she has found a boy she likes.

No wonder, no wonder she's different from before.

No wonder she no longer revolves around him.

No wonder he always felt there was something strange between her and Huo Yu.

So that's how it is...

In that instant, Su Jin didn't know what he was thinking or how he felt. He just stood there, frozen, unwilling to leave yet too afraid to go inside...

In the dining room, looking at Huo Yu's adorable stunned expression, Qin Wan's red lips curved slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness.

At the same time, she glanced subtly towards the entrance from the corner of her eye...

In any case, the past is the past.

You should accept reality, Su Jin.

"I'm full."

It took Huo Yu a long while to come to his senses. His eyes showed a moment of panic and helplessness, but he quickly regained his composure.
