Shi Wenwen calmly shook her head under He Jingzhen's gaze. Instead, He Jingzhen became curious and asked, "Why?"

"If he really had something serious to say, you wouldn't be looking for me, but my family. You're so calm and collected, so it must not be a big deal." Shi Wenwen said, "After you sat down, you hesitated for a few times, not knowing how to start the conversation. I thought, maybe today we should just have tea and dinner."

"You're right. I was indeed hesitant at first about how to tell you what to say next." He Jingzhen smiled and said, "But after what you said, I actually have the courage to speak out."

So, was it her fault for being too talkative? Shi Wenwen raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled, and put down her teacup silently.

He Jingzhen said, "Qiyun didn't know you were getting married. He only learned about the news after you got married and saw it in the major newspapers."

"He was filming in Dagang at the time. After hearing the news, he was in a trance for the whole day. He fell from a height and had to lie down for a month before he could move. The doctor said he needed to continue hospitalization for observation, but he ran back despite the advice."

"But Gao Yue's men were constantly protecting you, so he couldn't get close to you. He had no choice but to run back to Jinliu City to question your father. But your father was furious with him and kicked him out of the house, threatening to sever the father-son relationship if he didn't stop having feelings for you..."

Having said that, He Jingzhen deliberately stopped to observe Shi Wenwen's expression.

Shi Wenwen was startled, but she remained calm and did not respond to He Jingzhen's words.

He Jingzhen observed for a while, but saw nothing and suddenly felt bored.

This young woman whom she regarded as a competitor actually didn't take her seriously at all, but she was always worried and on guard, thinking about how to deal with her.

"Qiyun doesn't even want to act anymore. He's thinking about you all the time." He Jingzhen said, "Wenwen, please help Qiyun, otherwise his career will be ruined."

"Sister Zhen." Shi Wenwen interrupted He Jingzhen. Before she could finish her words, she suddenly noticed a figure flashing behind the vertical screen in the room. A bold guess came to her mind, but she pretended not to know and continued, "I'm already married."

"I know." He Jingzhen didn't give up easily, "But this doesn't conflict with helping Qiyun, right?"

"Then tell me, how can I help?" Shi Wenwen asked back.

He Jingzhen said bluntly: "Qiyun likes you."

"So, do you want me to help him like him and get out of his shell? Or do you want me to be even more ruthless towards him and make him completely give up on me?" Shi Wenwen asked. "I've been avoiding him all these years, and my attitude has been firm and clear. He still has hope. This isn't something I can solve by being ruthless, right? Shouldn't I just tell him to face the truth?"

He Jingzhen asked, "After all these years, have you never had such thoughts about Qiyun? Do you dare to say that you have never had such thoughts about Qiyun at all?"

"If liking him as a brother is a sin, I would rather not even have that kind of liking. Let's just be unrelated and live our own lives." Shi Wenwen said coldly and heartlessly.

He Jingzhen frowned, "But he likes you."

"Just because he likes me, do I have to like him?" Shi Wenwen mocked back, "There are so many men in the world who like Sister Zhen. Do I have to accept them all?"

He Jingzhen was choked by the question, and even the entire Haicheng couldn't contain it.

"That's not what I meant..." He Jingzhen wanted to persuade her again, but after Shi Wenwen said this, everything she said seemed to be wrong. For a moment, she became hesitant and wavered.

The figure behind the screen seemed to have lost his patience a long time ago. After He Jingzhen and Shi Wenwen were quiet for a while, the figure crossed the screen and came in front of Shi Wenwen.

Shi Wenwen raised her head slightly and immediately saw Shi Qiyun whom she had not seen for a long time, but she was not surprised. She just looked at Shi Qiyun silently.

Shi Qiyun still had a bandage on his foot and walked with a limp, but it did not affect his speed in reaching Shi Wenwen. When he got close, he subconsciously wanted to hold her hand, but Shi Wenwen was a step faster, avoiding his hand and even getting up from her seat and leaving.

"Wenwen!" Shi Qiyun shouted anxiously.

"If I can't be Fourth Brother, then I'll just be a stranger. Why make it so awkward?"

Shi Wenwen's expression was calm, almost indifferent. "Shi Qiyun, I don't want to know where your love comes from. There's absolutely no possibility between you and me. Now that you've seen the news of my marriage, you should give up on your own accord."

"Using another woman to come to me, if it were in the past, you wouldn't even be interested in this kind of thing, right? Be yourself, Shi Qiyun, that's the way you shine. The you now are not you at all."

"Is your love really love? Is it pity, or is it mutual sympathy? Do you think we share the same tragic fate? Or is it because I look like someone?"

Shi Wenwen's words stunned Shi Qiyun. The memories suppressed in his heart seemed to be opened by her words. The long-lost face suddenly appeared in his mind. His eyes were red and he was distracted. It was not until Shi Wenwen was about to leave again that he came to his senses and grabbed her hand.

"Let's talk things out." Shi Qiyun said, "Give me a chance and stop hiding from me!"

Shi Wenwen resolutely opened the door and was surprised to see Gao Yue standing at the door. Both Shi Wenwen and Shi Qiyun were stunned.

"Why are you here?" Shi Wenwen asked.

"I met with a business partner here to discuss something, and I was just about to go back." Gao Yue glanced at Shi Qiyun, then turned to ask Shi Wenwen, "What about you? What are you doing here?"

He Jingzhen heard Gao Yue's voice, sat quietly in her seat and smiled, but had no intention of getting up.

Shi Wenwen explained: "He Jingzhen asked me to have a cup of tea."

Gao Yue glanced at Shi Qiyun who was holding Shi Wenwen's hand tightly, and the meaning of his question was self-evident.

Since it was He Jingzhen, why was Shi Qiyun the one who showed up? The two were still arguing at the door. If he hadn't appeared in time, what else would they have wanted to do?

Gao Yue certainly believed Shi Wenwen, but he couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Now, let's go home together?" Gao Yue's eyes were still fixed on Shi Wenwen's wrist.

Shi Wenwen tactfully withdrew his hand and said, "Okay."

Although Shi Qiyun wanted to keep Shi Wenwen, he couldn't persuade her in front of Gao Yue.

He suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently. He Jingzhen, who had been sitting leisurely, slowly stood up and walked to the door.

"Mr. Yue, long time no see. It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. I agreed to have dinner with Wenwen. Why don't you, Mr. Yue, join us?" He Jingzhen made the invitation.
