...

After seeing the photos on his phone, Lu Shaohan fell into an eerie silence.

Lu Shaojin is truly willing to go all out.

To convince Qin Wan that he was willing to betray even his own woman.

Looking at the photo of Yin Jiajia nestled in the arms of a strange man, Lu Shaohan once again involuntarily looked up at Qin Wan.

"Big brother?"

Qin Wan looked at him with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding why he was looking at her with such a strange gaze.

“…I suddenly understand you a little.” After a brief silence, Lu Shaohan suddenly said.

"What?" Qin Wan was taken aback, not immediately understanding what he meant.

Lu Shaohan didn't want to waste his breath explaining to her, but when he met Qin Wan's clear black eyes, he inexplicably blurted out what was on his mind.

"Lu Shaojin will not give up until he achieves his goal, and he will come up with all sorts of scheming methods."

"Although you are intelligent and quick-witted, you are still the first person to fall in love, and you have been well protected by the Qin family since childhood. It is understandable that you might be temporarily deceived by Lu Shaojin's appearance."

Qin Wan: "..." Suddenly at a loss for words, she didn't know what to say.

Seeing Qin Wan's silence, Lu Shaohan assumed that she also regretted her blind past.

Thinking of this, a hint of sympathy appeared in Lu Shaohan's eyes as he looked at her.

[Lu Shaohan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability 49.]

He reached out and patted Qin Wan on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Have you had enough fun?" Lu Shaohan asked.

Qin Wan looked directly at Lu Shaohan and said with a smile, "Didn't you already make arrangements, brother?"

"The engagement party tonight."

Lu Shaohan looked at her with surprise, "When did you find out?"

"Did you forget the WeChat message your brother sent me?" Qin Wan shook her phone, showing Lu Shaohan the chat interface.

On the chat interface, he only sent Qin Wan one sentence.

[Lu Shaohan: Take your time.]

She is indeed intelligent.

Even though he didn't say it explicitly, I could perfectly understand what he was trying to express.

Not only did they act and speak very well, but they even stepped on his next move.

Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan's eyes changed as he looked at Qin Wan, revealing a rare hint of admiration.

[Lu Shaohan's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 54.]

He admires intelligent people more than fools.

Especially someone as intelligent as Qin Wan, who has an extremely good rapport with him.

Chatting and talking doesn't require much effort; communication is simple and easy to understand, without the need for lengthy explanations.

It's even more comfortable to work together with them.

Thinking of this, a faint sense of pleasure, which he himself was unaware of, appeared in Lu Shaohan's eyes.

"Then how did you know I would choose to make my move at tonight's engagement party?" Lu Shaohan asked again.

"Because you lack patience."

"Because Lu Shaojin is too restless and ambitious, you find him very annoying."

"Moreover, tonight is the best time."

"Moreover, you, Lu Shaojin, have pushed me too far, and I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain myself and will act on my own ahead of time."

"So, are you satisfied with my answer?"

Lu Shaohan raised an eyebrow, his gaze softening as he looked at her.

"Lunch is on me," Lu Shaohan offered.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan smiled.

The fact that even the stingy CEO Lu said those words is enough to prove that her answer just now truly satisfied him.

"Since you have so kindly invited me, I would be very honored to accept."

The knocking on the door interrupted their eye contact.

The secretary's voice came from outside the glass door.

"Mr. Lu, the second young master is here, insisting on coming in..."

Lu Shaohan looked at Qin Wan, "Do you need my cooperation?"

"Thank you for your trouble, brother," Qin Wan said without any hesitation.

"Let's go find a quiet place. Let's not cause trouble at the company, otherwise..."

Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would have the security guards throw Lu Shaojin, Yin Jiajia, and the others out.

If it weren't for the desire to eliminate Lu Shaojin once and for all, leaving him no chance to rise again, he wouldn't have dragged it out for so long.

“Wanwan…”

Upon seeing Qin Wan appear, Lu Shaojin excitedly stepped forward and tried to reach out and grab her.

Qin Wan put her hand behind her back, directly avoiding him.

"Lu Shaojin, get to the point, don't resort to violence." Qin Wan's eyes were cold.

“Wanwan, let me explain…”

"Shut up."

Before Lu Shaojin could finish speaking, Lu Shaohan impatiently interrupted him.

Lu Shaojin looked at him with a malicious gaze, and Lu Shaohan glanced at him coldly, as well as Yin Jiajia and a strange man behind him.

"This is the company, the place where we go to work."

"If you want to cause trouble, go outside." Lu Shaohan's voice was full of coldness.

Lu Shaojin opened his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment, but he dared not refute.

A high-end coffee shop opposite Lu's.

After setting up a large private room and closing the door to completely block out the outside view, Lu Shaohan pulled Qin Wan closer to him.

He did this very naturally... without the slightest awkwardness or unnaturalness.

Qin Wan did not resist at all and stood beside him, following his lead.

Watching their oblivious interaction, Lu Shaojin could no longer control himself.

"Wanwan, let me explain."

"That photo was deliberately misinterpreted and taken without my consent. At the time, Jiajia accidentally twisted her ankle, and I just reached out to help her up."

"Because of the angle of the candid photo, it looks like Jiajia and I are hugging, but in fact there is nothing between Jiajia and me."

"Besides, Jiajia has a boyfriend!"

As he spoke, Lu Shaojin looked anxiously at Yin Jiajia and the unfamiliar boy behind him.

The boy, dressed in a white shirt and jeans, looked sunny and cheerful, his gaze towards Yin Jiajia filled with joy and excitement.

Upon seeing this, a faint hint of mockery flashed across Qin Wan's eyes.

Still pretending?

"When did Jiajia start dating?"

"How come I didn't know?"

Aren't we best friends?

"Why have I never heard of this before?"

As she spoke, Qin Wan's gaze fell on the sunny and cheerful boy, and she frowned as she looked at him with a scrutinizing expression.

"How come I've never seen you before?"

How did you and Jiajia meet?

"When did you two get together?"

"So many boys at school are pursuing Jiajia, how did you stand out from the crowd?"

Qin Wan appeared to be genuinely just curious.

But her persistent questioning made the boy's handsome face blush.

"I... I've always been pursuing Senior Jiajia..."

"It's just that my senior is too dazzling, while I am dim and lost among my many suitors."

"Here's what happened: Just last month, Jiajia wasn't feeling well one day and happened to post something on her WeChat Moments, so I sent her a message to check on her."

"Unexpectedly, my senior had a high fever at the time, so I rushed to her house and took her to the hospital..."

"later……"

"Later, my senior agreed to give me a chance."

The boy blushed, his gaze towards Yin Jiajia filled with admiration and affection.

The boy's reaction was very genuine, showing no signs of acting or pretense. Even his physical reactions were exceptionally real, seemingly driven by instinct.
