Of all those present, only Wu Youyou was kept in the dark; she had no idea that Tang Chuxuan was Shi Zhan's cousin!

At this moment, she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, no wonder she felt that the two of them had something in common, both exuding a noble and aloof temperament.

However, compared to others, Tang Chuxuan seemed to have a bit more of a roguish charm.

Shi Zhan gripped her hand tightly, his grip tightening. Wu Youyou knew that Shi Zhan must be burning with anger inside.

She frowned at Tang Chuxuan and said,

"Young Master Tang, I'm not your girlfriend!"

Just because it's not like that now doesn't mean it won't be like that in the future!

Tang Chuxuan shrugged nonchalantly.

Shi Zhan's expression was frosty as he glanced at him coldly before turning his gaze to Old Master Shi.

His voice seemed to carry an irresistible power.

"Grandpa, I'll take Youyou home first. We can talk about the rest when we get home!"

"Outrageous! Look at what day it is today, it's Ziyao's birthday party! As Ziyao's dance partner, how can you leave so rudely? It's absolutely outrageous!"

Old Master Shi was furious.

Just then, Shi Yuan gave Shi Zhan a wink.

Shi Zhan naturally understood Shi Yuan's intentions. He smiled slightly, thinking that Shi Yuan had arrived just in time.

"Grandpa, Ziyao won't lack male companionship, so let Shiyuan take my place! I have to leave now!"

Old Master Shi's eyes widened, and he finally took a deep breath before speaking to Shi Zhan.

"Don't forget the promise between us!"

An agreement? Wu Youyou was filled with doubt. What kind of agreement did Shi Zhan and Old Master Shi have?

Shi Zhan simply replied with a curt "..."

"I haven't forgotten!"

After saying that, Shi Zhan turned around and left the scene with Wu Youyou.

She gazed at Shi Zhan's profile, a complex and subtle feeling welling up inside her.

At this moment, she didn't want to suppress her emotions at all.

Before long, Wu Youyou was taken by Shi Zhan to the large apartment where she used to live.

As soon as she entered, Wu Youyou was pinned against the doorframe by Shi Zhan. She was like a lamb to the slaughter, completely unable to move, and a sense of tension instantly welled up in her heart.

"Shi Zhan, what are you doing?"

Shi Zhan's face was pressed close to Wu Youyou's cheek as he whispered in her ear.

Have you forgotten what you promised me?

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into her heart.

Wu Youyou's body suddenly stiffened, as if she had remembered something.

Her voice was as low as a mosquito's buzz.

"I haven't forgotten!"

Shi Zhan moved her entire body forward, making her feel that the space around her was becoming increasingly cramped.

She could clearly hear his heartbeat and feel the heat of his breath. Wu Youyou's heart pounded wildly, and her breathing became rapid.

"Then why do you let others touch you!"

Shi Zhan's tone was as cold as frost, like a sharp sword, mercilessly piercing her chest.

"No, I was just asking for help!"

Wu Youyou didn't know why she had to explain to him, but she was indeed a little flustered inside.

She was afraid that Shi Zhan would misunderstand her!

Shi Zhan felt her chest rise and fall, and the restlessness in his heart surged like a volcano.

The next second, Shi Zhan's lips pressed against hers like a storm.

As Wu Youyou felt Shi Zhan's awkward yet domineering kiss, her cheeks burned like fire, and her hands hung helplessly in the air.

Seeing this, Shi Zhan gently lifted her hand and placed it on his neck.

Wu Youyou instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, letting out soft moans.

Shi Zhan's kiss was long and passionate. He finally stopped, panting, and said...

"I've said it before, as long as I'm here, you're not allowed to fall in love with anyone else. Even if you do fall in love with someone else, you have to get my permission."

Wu Youyou's head was spinning from the kisses. Her cheeks were as red and lustrous as ripe apples; her ear tips were like sparkling agate, shining with a captivating luster; and her neck was like a shy flower petal, slightly flushed.

She looked up into Shi Zhan's dark, deep eyes, and in just one glance, she was captivated and unable to look away.

"Shi Zhan, I haven't fallen in love with anyone else, but the person I love is you!"

These words struck Shi Zhan like a thunderbolt, shattering his very soul. His eyes filled with tenderness, as if he wanted to gather all the warmth of his life into this moment.

"I know!"

After saying that, Shi Zhan gently kissed her forehead. He then said...

"School starts soon, and you can't fall in love with anyone else after you enter university!"

"I know!"

Wu Youyou seemed to have a worried look between her brows, which Shi Zhan keenly noticed. He asked her softly,

"What's wrong?"

Wu Youyou felt a pang of distress, a distress and inner turmoil stemming from Shi Zhan and Wei Ziyao. She finally mustered the courage to ask that question.

"What exactly is going on between you and Wei Ziyao?"

Shi Zhan's lips curled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He suspected that his mother's death was related to the Wei family, but he couldn't tell her. The matter was fraught with danger, and he didn't want her to be involved.

"Youyou, you still need to grow, you still need to meet certain conditions. We have indeed separated, but my heart is always with you. I promise you, you are now free. As I said before, if you find someone you like, you must let me know in advance!"

Shi Zhan knew that he also needed to grow, and there were some skills he had not yet mastered. He was still a student, and time was both important and long for him.

Wu Youyou seemed to have a vague understanding of Shi Zhan's situation, but she knew that neither of them was able to protect their loved ones at the moment. He had important things to do, and she also had things to deal with. All of this would take time.
