Yan Zhenzhen realized something was wrong as soon as Lu Jianshen made the phone call.

When Yan Zhenzhen arrived, the villa's entrances were already surrounded by Lu Jianshen's bodyguards.

With no other option, she had to climb over the wall from the backyard, but she ended up falling and hurting her leg!

Oh no!

Lu Jianshen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Weren't you at the hospital when I called Miss Yan just now?"

Yan Zhenzhen's inner monologue was "Holy crap!"

It's a waste of talent that Lu Jianshen isn't a detective.

"Yes, I just got back from the hospital. I hurt my leg!" Yan Zhenzhen never hesitates to lie.

As long as she can fool the other party, she has won.

Lu Jianshen's gaze fell on Tang Li. "Now that you've finished talking, can I leave with my wife?"

Tang Li met his sinister gaze and felt a chill run down her spine; Lu Jianshen clearly suspected her.

"Let's go, we've finished talking about everything we needed to."

Tang Li quickly stepped forward, took Lu Jianshen's arm, and got into the car with him.

Behind her, Yan Zhenzhen clutched her wretched left leg, her face pale with pain.

"Handsome Shen, could you please not build your courtyard wall so high?"

She only realized after she jumped down that the inner and outer walls were different; the terrain inside was lower, and the walls were higher.

Shen Qingxu raised an eyebrow helplessly, finding it somewhat amusing; Tang Li's friend certainly had some interesting ideas.

"Go inside first. Your family doctor is here; let him take a look at your leg."

Yan Zhenzhen nodded, but still worried, she sent a message to Tang Li, asking if it was possible to cover up who she was.

Tang Li's phone is still out of battery and can't be turned on, so she hasn't seen the message from Yan Zhenzhen.

Sitting in the car, Lu Jianshen remained silent.

Tang Li felt as if the air around her had frozen. This man must be a natural ice-making machine!

She knew it was very unusual for her to be at Shen Qingxu's house today, but they were truly innocent.

After a long silence, Tang Li finally spoke, asking, "Don't you believe what I said today?"

"Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Lu Jianshen's eyes darkened. "I told you to keep your distance from Shen Qingxu. Also, no matter what happens, please discuss it with your husband, me, first, not with other men!"

Lu Jianshen's voice was filled with anger. Why could Tang Li never remember what he said? Did she not care at all?

"I'm here today for work."

There was no other way but to continue lying.

Lu Jianshen chuckled softly, "Shen Qingxu is really dating Yan Zhenzhen, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Tang Li insisted that the two of them were dating and had plans to get married.

"Shen Qingxu's father has been urging him to find a girlfriend, and Zhenzhen is the best choice. I've always thought they're a good match."

There was no other way but to continue making things up as Yan Zhenzhen had told me.

After getting off the bus, Tang Li ran over quickly, trying to take Lu Jianshen's hand, but Lu Jianshen shook her off.

This was the first time Lu Jianshen had rejected her, and Tang Li felt a little sad.

"Lu Jianshen, in the end, you just don't trust me, do you?"

"Have you ever trusted me? Tang Li, are you hiding something from me?"

The air seemed to freeze. Tang Li dared not speak; she did indeed have a secret she was hiding, and it was best that Lu Jianshen never find out.

That night, Lu Jianshen did not return to his room to rest.

Tang Li waited in the bedroom for a long time and saw that the study light was still on.

She thought for a moment, then got up, went to the kitchen, heated up a glass of milk, and brought it over.

Lu Jianshen just called Chen Lei and asked him to thoroughly investigate Shen Qingxu.

He had just hung up the phone when Tang Li knocked on the door.

"Aren't you resting yet?"

"Come in."

Tang Li brought in a bowl of hot milk.

Since returning today, Lu Jianshen hasn't said a single word to her; clearly, he's angry.

"I know I was wrong today. Next time I go to Shen Qingxu's house, I will definitely let you know in advance."

Lu Jianshen chuckled and asked in return, "Will there be a next time?"

His eyes held scrutiny and suspicion. Tang Li looked at him and lowered her head guiltily.

Little did she know, her lack of explanation and the mere act of lowering her head only solidified Lu Jianshen's suspicion that Tang Li felt guilty.

"Tang Li, sometimes I can't help but wonder if you really like me, or if you're only with me because you have no other choice?"

Tang Li shook her head, "Of course not."

If she had no feelings for Lu Jianshen, she would never have stayed by his side; she would have left no matter what it took.

You must believe that I love you.

However, the woman's sincere gaze did not earn the man's trust.

Lu Jianshen chuckled lightly, "You should go back and rest early. I still have some work to finish."

Tang Li noticed that it was getting late and Lu Jianshen wasn't in a good mood, so she nodded and turned to leave.

But just as she was about to turn around, Lu Jianshen called out to her again, "When did you and Shen Qingxu meet?"

“He is Zhenzhen’s boyfriend, and we’ve met briefly before.”

This sounds like a flawless answer, without specifying when they met, only stating that Yan Zhenzhen is Shen Qingxu's girlfriend.

Even if Tang Li had ulterior motives, she would never lay a hand on her best friend's man.

But half an hour later, Chen Lei sent a message to Lu Jianshen.
