Finally, it was decided that we would go to the Bieshan Warm Club for a hot spring bath on December 24th.

However, Shen Muzhi and Xiang Zhilan are leaving for America tomorrow, so only a few of them will be going.

Around 10 o'clock, the small gathering ended, and a group of people walked out of Lan Club and got into their respective cars.

When Ni Sitian watched Shen Muzhi and Xiang Zhilan get into the same car, her eyes darkened slightly. In less than two months, Xiang Zhilan would be able to leave Shen Muzhi, but she always felt a little uneasy.

Perhaps it's because Xiang Zhilan is going to America alone with Shen Muzhi; foreign lands are always full of uncertainties.

"Get in the car." Xu Tingchuan opened the car door for Ni Sitian and saw her staring blankly at Shen Muzhi's car driving away, so he called out softly.

Ni Sitian withdrew her gaze, glanced at Xu Tingchuan, and bent down to get into the car.

After getting into the car, Xu Tingchuan started the engine and drove into the traffic.

Ni Sitian glanced at Xu Tingchuan's profile. As the car sped along, the neon lights flashed across his face, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, making his features sometimes blurry and sometimes clear. She felt that she could see through him even more.

"Is the heating too hot?" Xu Tingchuan asked, glancing at Ni Sitian.

Ni Sitian gave a vague "hmm" and turned to look out the window.

The night view of Yihai City is beautiful, especially now that Christmas is approaching. The trees on both sides of the street are decorated with colorful lights, and the shops are decorated in a festive manner, creating a strong holiday atmosphere.

Ni Sitian wasn't really in the mood to appreciate the beautiful night view. She had been holding back for a long time, but finally couldn't resist. She turned to look at Xu Tingchuan and asked in a slightly deep voice, "Why did Shen Muzhi force Zhilan to cut this hairstyle?"

Xu Tingchuan tightened his grip on the steering wheel as he drove.

Did Ni Sitian discover something? But if we told her that Xiang Zhilan was being used as a substitute by Shen Muzhi, given her personality, she would definitely stand up for Xiang Zhilan.

Shen Muzhi has become even more gloomy and strange lately, and even he can't say he's 100% confident in controlling the uncontrollable Shen Muzhi.

It's been less than two months since the time agreed upon by Shen Muzhi and Xiang Zhilan. If Jinjita leaves earlier than the veterinarian predicted, Shen Muzhi might just let Xiang Zhilan go, so Ni Sitian wouldn't have to get involved.

"Did Mu Zhi ask her to cut this?" Xu Tingchuan asked, his voice tinged with surprise.

When Ni Sitian heard his question, her heart sank. He clearly knew, yet he pretended not to—this was intentional concealment. And his acting was so good; his question even carried a hint of surprise. If she hadn't seen the girl's photo before, she probably wouldn't have suspected him at all.

"You really don't know?" Ni Sitian wanted to give him another chance to confess.

Xu Tingchuan sensed something was wrong; why was she suddenly so fixated on this issue?

After a while, Ni Sitian didn't hear Xu Tingchuan's answer, so she became somewhat disheartened, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes.

When Xu Tingchuan stopped at the traffic light, he glanced at her, intending to ask her what she knew, but seeing that she had already closed her eyes and fallen asleep, he turned back, started the car, and continued driving.

Actually, Ni Sitian wasn't asleep. She just felt a little tired, both physically and mentally.

She gave him two chances, but he didn't confess to her, even though he knew how much she valued Xiang Zhilan as a friend.

Moreover, he acted so naturally when he was hiding it from her, so how could she tell whether he was telling her the truth or a lie later?
