At this moment, Chen Sitian couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. She hadn't originally come upstairs specifically to pick up the lipstick.

She brushed past Wang Hu as she went downstairs. He got on the elevator while she got off, and the moment their eyes met, her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "Wow, I never expected my best friend to have such a handsome and charming guy hidden away here!"

So, her gaze involuntarily fell on the elevator display screen, staring intently at the constantly changing numbers, trying to figure out which floor this handsome guy was going to.

As the elevator smoothly ascended, it finally came to a stop. Shen Sitian looked closely and was surprised to find that it had stopped in front of her best friend Wu Xinyi's house. It turned out that the apartment Wang Hu had bought for Wu Xinyi was a detached house, with only one household living on each floor. Therefore, once the elevator stopped, it was generally easy to pinpoint which household it was.

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Sitian's mind, and she couldn't help but secretly speculate: "Could it be... that the handsome man in front of me is Wu Xinyi's mysterious boyfriend?"

It's important to understand that while she and Wu Xinyi appear to be as close as sisters on the surface, they are actually nothing more than superficial best friends. Though seemingly inseparable, they each harbor ulterior motives and engage in scheming and backstabbing.

Especially when Shen Sitian first saw this spacious and luxurious house, she felt a pang of jealousy and even viciously cursed Wu Xinyi for finding an old and ugly man.

However, the Wang Hu standing in front of her at this moment was completely different from the image she had imagined—not only was he young and handsome, but he was also very charming.

Seeing this, Chen Sitian felt a sudden surge of warmth in her heart. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind to go back up the stairs. After all, in her opinion, she was far more beautiful than Wu Xinyi, and it wouldn't be difficult to snatch Wang Hu away from her.

What Shen Sitian never expected was that when she finally returned to her room, she was full of anticipation for Wang Hu's enthusiastic attention.

To her surprise, the other person merely shook her hand politely before turning around and going to pour himself some water, as if he didn't care about her at all.

Shen Sitian, who has always been quite confident in her appearance, couldn't help but start to have deep doubts about her own charm.

Wang Hu walked briskly back to the living room, carrying two glasses of water steadily in both hands. He carefully placed the glasses on the coffee table, trying not to make a sound so as not to disturb the two ladies who were having a pleasant conversation. Then, he quietly sat down on the sofa next to them, turned slightly to the side, and watched them chat with great interest, a smile on his face.

At this moment, a hint of apology appeared in Wang Hu's deep and bright eyes as he slowly turned his gaze to Wu Xinyi. Wu Xinyi felt his gaze, looked up to meet his eyes, and gave him an expression that said, "See, you really misunderstood me."

As the two silently gazed at each other, all these subtle interactions were observed by Shen Sitian, who was sitting beside them. She noticed that Wang Hu's gaze had not lingered on her for a moment, and a strong sense of jealousy welled up in Shen Sitian's heart.

She pondered to herself, "Why is Wu Xinyi so lucky to meet such a handsome, rich, and caring man?" As she thought about it, she unconsciously tightened her grip on the cup, and due to excessive force, a faint white layer even began to appear on her knuckles.

Wu Xinyi noticed Shen Sitian's reaction and change in expression, finding it quite amusing and funny. After all, as her so-called "plastic best friend," she knew Shen Sitian's personality inside and out—undoubtedly, Shen Sitian was currently filled with intense jealousy.

Actually, Wu Xinyi originally invited Shen Sitian to come with the intention of connecting the two and finding an ally for herself.

Today's situation is special; it's rare for Wang Hu to take the initiative to come to her like this, and she doesn't want this precious time to be disturbed or ruined in any way.

Then, an idea popped into her head, and she turned to Chen Sitian and said, "Sweetie, didn't you say you wanted to get a lipstick? Do you need me to help you find it?"

Shen Sitian's heart was pounding, afraid that she might accidentally give herself away. So she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need, no need, I can find it myself!" Then she rushed towards the bathroom.

As soon as she entered the restroom, she quickly opened her bag, rummaged around for a bit, and finally pulled out a lipstick. Then, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and casually walked out of the restroom, waving the lipstick in her hand and saying to everyone, "See, I found it!"

However, Shen Sitian didn't actually want to leave so soon. She racked her brains trying to find a suitable excuse to stay. But just then, Wu Xinyi seemed to see through her thoughts and spoke first, "Sweetie, didn't you say you had something to take care of? Then I won't keep you any longer, bye-bye!" As she spoke, she gently pushed Shen Sitian towards the door.

Despite her immense reluctance, Shen Sitian had no choice but to hang her head and leave like a defeated rooster.

After Shen Sitian's figure completely disappeared, Wang Hu, who had been hiding in the corner, quickly walked behind Wu Xinyi, opened his arms and tightly hugged her slender and soft waist.

He brought his mouth close to Wu Xinyi's ear and whispered apologetically, "I'm sorry, baby, it was all my fault just now. I misunderstood you!"
