She, an object of scorn and insult within the Luo family, was sold to an old man by her stepmother. Unexpectedly, she slept with an exceptionally high-quality man who controlled an entire business ...
She couldn't help but look at Ou Zihan, who used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of fresh abalone meat and held it to Bai Zhi's lips. "Baby, have a taste. The abalone here is very delicious. You've lost weight, so you need to eat more."
A captivating smile bloomed on Bai Zhi's beautiful face. Her crimson lips parted to catch the abalone meat, which she chewed elegantly, unable to help but admire.
"Zihan, it's so delicious! The food here is really good." Bai Zhi's soft and enticing voice drew envious glances from the surrounding waitresses. This woman is so lucky; being with such a perfect man is every woman's ultimate dream...
Bai Zhi couldn't help herself and planted a warm kiss on Ou Zihan's fair cheek. This man she loved to the core, she felt so happy for the first time.
Furthermore, she was asserting her ownership over Luo Xiaoyi, which completely dispelled Luo Xiaoyi's desire for Ou Zihan.
Her public kiss stunned Ou Zihan once again. Was this woman really his Bai Zhi? How had Bai Zhi become so bold? Where had her inherent shyness gone? Could it be that as time goes by, even a person's nature changes?
As the saying goes, "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature," so why does Bai Zhi give him an increasingly strange feeling?
What's wrong with him? Why does he keep doubting Bai Zhi? It's understandable that Bai Zhi couldn't control her feelings after seeing him for so long, but isn't he being too extreme?
Moreover, he felt inexplicably irritated. Although he tried to avoid looking at Luo Xiaoyi, his gaze kept drifting to her. Seeing Luo Xiaoyi and Tang Yu drinking so happily, he felt a surge of anger rising within him.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he just wanted to show affection to Bai Zhi and see Luo Xiaoyi's reaction. Bai Zhi kissed him like that, which was fine. He wanted to see what Luo Xiaoyi's expression would be.
Looking at their happy appearance, and seeing how good and gentle Ou Zihan was to Bai Zhi, Luo Xiaoyi's eyes couldn't help but burn with tears. She lowered her head and pretended to eat her food, but her heart was breaking.
Once, Ou Zihan would serve her food like this; once, Ou Zihan would cherish her and call her "baby." Now, all of that is gone...
In her panic, she accidentally knocked over the teacup. She cried out in pain as the scalding tea spilled onto the back of her hand, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"What's going on? Let me see." Tang Yu put down the wine bottle in her hand and was about to grab Luo Xiaoyi's hand.

To everyone's surprise, Ou Zihan was incredibly fast, already grabbing Luo Xiaoyi's hand. "It's all red from the burn. This is serious. Blisters will form soon. I'll take you to the hospital." His eyes were filled with anxiety and heartache. In that instant, Ou Zihan forgot his own identity and was only worried about her.
Was Luo Xiaoyi knocking over the water glass because of him? Ou Zihan felt a sudden warmth in his heart. But was he just being presumptuous again? Maybe it was an accident. He hadn't noticed anything unusually sad about Luo Xiaoyi's expression. Thinking about it this way, he felt inexplicably sad again.
Bai Zhi looked at Ou Zihan's nervous appearance, her eyes blazing with jealousy. She was almost driven crazy with anger. She couldn't believe that Ou Zihan still cared so much about Luo Xiaoyi!
Today, she originally wanted to make Luo Xiaoyi furious, but unexpectedly, she herself was the one who was furious to death!
Luo Xiaoyi, you just wait, this time, I'm going to win!
Luo Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment. She had never expected that Ou Zihan would react so nervously to her minor injury. Did Ou Zihan still care about her? Thinking about this, she almost burst into tears of grievance.
At this moment, Tang Yu pushed Ou Zihan's hand away, glaring at her with cold eyes. "Ou Zihan, Luo Xiaoyi is my woman. It's none of your business to care about her. You should use your time to care about the woman next to you!"
Tang Yu was furious. That grandson of Ou Zihan, he already has Bai Zhi, but he still can't forget Luo Xiaoyi. How can this go on? Luo Xiaoyi loves him so much. What if they end up together because one of them is in love and the other is interested in the other?
However, isn't there still Bai Zhi (Angelica dahurica)? With Bai Zhi blocking their way, how could they possibly get together? He shouldn't worry too much; he should just sit back and watch the show.
He glared at Bai Zhi, venting his dissatisfaction on her. Bai Zhi lowered her eyes, then perked up again; she wouldn't give up so easily.
Just as Ou Zihan was about to explode, Bai Zhi grabbed his arm. "Zihan, you care so much about Luo Xiaoyi, did you and Luo Xiaoyi know each other before?" Bai Zhi asked with a naive and clueless expression.
At this moment, all she could do was pretend, pretend to be innocent, pretend to be kind, pretend to be foolish, all for the sake of Ou Zihan, this man.
Luo Xiaoyi and Tang Yu both looked at Ou Zihan. How would he answer? Would he admit it or deny it? If he denied it, it would prove that he and Luo Xiaoyi were completely history and ready to turn the page.
Ou Zihan looked at her. Her fair and beautiful face showed no anger or jealousy. She was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, which made Ou Zihan feel a little guilty. How could he have been so distracted by the woman he loved?
He suddenly realized his lapse in composure. "No, I've never met Luo Xiaoyi!" His resolute voice told him firmly that he loved Bai Zhi. He was always particularly ruthless towards women he didn't love, and the same was true for Luo Xiaoyi. He made up his mind to forget Luo Xiaoyi.
