"Han Sinian first let Jiang Nanyu witness my 'intimate interaction' with him, although it was an accident..."

"But you also know my personality and situation with Jiang Nanyu. It was an arranged marriage with no feelings between us. Even if we stumbled upon this, there would be no questioning or arguing like normal boyfriend and girlfriend."

"After that incident, Jiang Nanyu had a special talk with me. He suggested that we could each do our own thing, as long as we didn't make a big fuss."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan pursed his thin lips, a hint of impatience creeping into his brows.

"At that time, I was still unwilling to give up. Even though I didn't have much affection for Jiangnan Island, I still wanted to make things clear and prove my innocence."

"When Han Sinian saw that I wouldn't give up, he deliberately led me to witness Jiang Nanyu and that woman's...spectacular battle?"

At this point, Qin Wan curled the corners of her mouth and gave a mocking smile.

Jiang Nanyu was indeed very well-educated by the Jiang family. He was extremely adept at using the rules and practices of the upper-class elite circles.

"Later, Jiang Nanyu and I had a big fight and I wanted to break off the engagement."

"However, at the time, both families had a project under development, and Jiang Nanyu said that it was okay to break off the engagement, but we had to wait until that project was completed..."

"Later, Han Sinian always showed me great care and concern."

"Although we haven't officially confirmed our relationship and are officially together, the way we interact is pretty much like a couple..."

At this point, Qin Wan paused, and as if afraid that Jiang Yan would misunderstand, she quickly explained.

"Although Han Sinian and I have held hands, hugged, and kissed, we have never had a sexual relationship..."

Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, Jiang Yan's brow twitched, and an inexplicable sense of irritation washed over him, casting a sharp, cold glint between his brows.

They held hands...

I even hugged him...

We kissed...

They certainly know how to have fun.

No wonder she said Han Sinian was her first love.

Jiang Yan gave Qin Wan a deep look, and under Qin Wan's uneasy gaze, he pulled away her hands that were wrapped around his neck.

"Jiang Yan? Please let me explain..."

“I was young and naive at the time, and I was deceived by Han Sinian.”

"If I could turn back time, I would stay as far away from him as possible!"

Qin Wan grabbed Jiang Yan's hand and explained anxiously, her gaze filled with tension and unease.

She was afraid.

I was afraid he would misunderstand.

She feared that because of her past with Han Sinian, he would distance himself from her, and develop dislike or aversion towards her...

Seeing her cautious emotions and reactions, a complex look appeared in Jiang Yan's eyes.

Do you... really like him that much?

Why?

They had only known each other for a short time.

She didn't even know him.

He only had a few brief encounters and didn't show much, trying his best not to attract attention.

Why is she so concerned about him?

"you……"

Just as Jiang Yan was about to say something, a deep, sexy male voice interrupted him.

"Wan'er, it's been a long time."

If it's not Jiangnan Yu, and it certainly can't be Xie Ming, then it can only be... Han Sinian.

Jiang Yan looked up at this dangerous man who had always been the subject of everyone's gossip.

Han Sinian ignored his gaze, walked straight to Qin Wan, looked at her tenderly, and gently and affectionately patted the top of her head.

"Hmm, it still feels familiar from my memories..."

"I've missed Wan'er so much since we last met. Have you missed me too?"

Before Qin Wan could answer, Han Sinian began to speak on his own.

“Wan’er’s life is so rich and fulfilling, why would she waste time thinking about someone as insignificant as me…”

"I was just being presumptuous."

Qin Wan: "..."

Jiang Yan: "..."

Xie Ming: "..."

Only Jiangnan Island stood by, silently watching the show.

Why isn't Wan'er speaking?

"Could it be that I've hit the nail on the head?"

As he spoke, Han Sinian narrowed his eyes dangerously, and the hand that had been rubbing Qin Wan's head began to wander restlessly, gradually moving downwards...

Just as his warm fingertips were about to touch Qin Wan's fair cheek, another long, slender hand belonging to a man suddenly reached out and tightly restrained him.

Han Sinian narrowed his eyes, his dangerous gaze sweeping coldly over the owner of the hand... Jiang Yan.

"You are... Jiang Yan?"

"I remember you..."

How did you end up in Kyoto?

Why are you at this charity gala?

"And why are you standing next to Wan'er?"

As they spoke, Han Sinian leaned slightly closer to Jiang Yan, his dark, sinister eyes fixed intently on Jiang Yan's.

"I remember you..."

"A gold nugget that flew out of a small mountain village?"

"That description doesn't seem quite right..."

"Judging from your current appearance, do you perhaps want to become a 'phoenix man' (a man from a poor background who achieves success)?"

"What? You've got your eye on Wan'er?"

"You?"

"You dare to challenge me?"

As he spoke, Han Sinian subconsciously tried to break free from Jiang Yan's grasp.

He tried to shake it off several times, but he couldn't break free no matter what.

Seeing this, Han Sinian immediately gave up.

He squinted and re-examined Jiang Yan before him.

"Should I say you... no wonder you're from the countryside?"

"With such strength, you must have done a lot of farming and farm work since you were a child, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, her skin is well-maintained, no wonder she dares to have such fantasies..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Sinian raised his leg to kick Jiang Yan.

"ah!"

A man's wails rang out...

Han Sinian covered his forehead and looked at the culprit with a pained expression.

Qin Wan was holding a metal cage bag, glaring at him fiercely.

Jiang Yan was tightly protected behind her... like a cub.

"Qin Wan?"

"Well, it's only been a year or two since we last met, and you've already become more capable and skilled."

"She's even learned to fight for pretty boys?"

"What? You like Jiang Yan that much?"

"I'm curious, what makes him so appealing to you?"

"Could it be..." At this point, Han Sinian's dangerous, sinister gaze swept over Jiang Yan's tall and slender figure.

"Could it be that he's exceptionally skilled in that area? Did he please you? Did he make you feel good?"

"Bang!"

No sooner had Han Sinian finished speaking than a leg suddenly kicked out and struck him in the abdomen.

Han Sinian's hands, which had been covering his forehead, instantly moved to his abdomen...

He curled up in agony, his sinister gaze fixed on Jiang Yan, who had somehow appeared in front of Qin Wan.

"asshole!"

"How dare you hit me?"

"Today I'm going to show you what happens when you offend me, Han Sinian!"

As he spoke, Han Sinian, enduring the excruciating pain in his abdomen and forehead, grabbed a chair from the side and smashed it at Jiang Yan…

"Han Sinian!"

"You madman, stop right now!"

"That's Jiang Yan!"

"Han Sinian, wake up, you bastard!"

"Can you please stop having these episodes?"

Upon seeing Han Sinian's outrageous behavior, Xie Ming, who had been stunned for a long time, finally came to his senses and roared at Han Sinian with a look of terror, trying to warn him.

However, Han Sinian was already consumed by resentment, jealousy, and intense hatred, and his reason had long since vanished...

He was acting madly purely out of instinct and his obsession with Qin Wan...

Regardless of the consequences...

disregarding everything...
