Jiang Mianmian smiled gently.
Compared to her sister, she felt that You Huan was more like a chivalrous woman.
Before she met her, she had seen the works that You Huan starred in, and they were all the same: crazy beauties, black lotuses, and arrogant peerless masters.
Her team also created a persona for her that made her aloof and quiet when marketing her.
However, after getting to know her, Jiang Mianmian realized that You Huan was not at all like the person she appeared on camera.
She loves to talk and laugh, loves to eat and play, and is as innocent as a child.
Just like this time when the two of them made an appointment, You Huan thought that she would like the hustle and bustle, so she would rather wear a hat, sunglasses and a mask and be fully armed in the hot weather, just so that she could be happy in the crowd.
The two quickly arrived at the Lu family's private beach.
This area was different from the street they had just crossed; it was another tranquil world. It was as if a transparent glass dome hung over the beach, isolating them from the outside world.
The gentle, cool sea breeze whispers in my ears, and the soft sand lies beneath my feet.
Looking up, you can see the starlight in the sky.
You Huan took off her hat and sunglasses, stretched, took several deep breaths, and smiled from the bottom of her heart.
She hadn't felt this relaxed and carefree in a long time.
"Wow, your place is really nice!" You Huan exclaimed. "It's so good to be rich!"
The first half of the sentence sounded alright, but the second half made Jiang Mianmian laugh.
"By the way," You Huan looked at her with some curiosity, "you are clearly the daughter of the Lu family, so why is your surname Jiang?"
“Hmm… this is a rather long story,” Jiang Mianmian said softly. “My adoptive parents’ surname is Jiang, and I grew up with them, so I also have the surname Jiang.”
"Adoptive parents?" You Huan was taken aback. "Were they good to you?"
"Of course!" Jiang Mianmian answered without hesitation, "They treat me even better than their own daughter!"
"Oh..." You Huan nodded, then asked, "What about your boyfriend? Is he... good to you?"
Jiang Mianmian was taken aback. "How did you know I have a boyfriend?"
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed You Huan's eyes, but she quickly regained her usual smile. "I've seen it."
Jiang Mianmian nodded.
Huo Junyu had come to see her several times, and they always met at the bottom of the building.
Perhaps that's when You Huan saw it.
At this moment, You Huan felt a mix of emotions.
It would be a lie to say I'm not jealous.
For her, "meeting Wen Jie was a mistake that would ruin her life," but unfortunately, Wen Jie's love was not hers, and she could only keep this bitterness to herself.
But she also constantly wondered what Wen Jie was like when he was in a relationship.
Wen Jie had a high and mighty image in her mind, and she hoped that he would not let her down.
"Mianmian," You Huan asked in a low voice, "your boyfriend treats you very well, right?"
Jiang Mianmian smiled a little shyly.
"You two will get married in the future, right?"
"Yes, we will. Our engagement was arranged when we were young."
“Oh…” A hint of sadness appeared on You Huan’s face.
No wonder, back then she chased him all the way to Southeast Asia, but Attorney Wen remained unmoved. It turns out she had a marriage agreement with him since childhood!
However, looking at it from another perspective, it also shows that he is devoted to his love.
You Huan laughed again, realizing she hadn't misjudged him!
"Mianmian, you're so lucky." You Huan looked at her enviously. "When your boyfriend saw you, he smiled so happily! His eyes were only for you. He even bought you milk tea and brought it to you, didn't he?"
"You saw this too?" Jiang Mianmian pursed her lips. "But he didn't buy that milk tea; he made it himself."
"Huh?" So Wen Jie can make milk tea too...
His milk tea was probably brewed just for her.
You Huan bit her lip and looked at her quietly.
After a long silence, she solemnly grasped Jiang Mianmian's hand and said to her, word by word, "You two must be well...you must be happy forever!"
Jiang Mianmian was taken aback and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
However, this should be considered a blessing between friends.
She lowered her eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded solemnly, "Thank you."
You Huan seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, revealing a relieved smile.
"Don't just talk about me!" Jiang Mianmian's doe eyes were bright and charming. "What about you? You're so outstanding, you must have a lot of guys pursuing you, right? Haven't you ever been interested in any of them?"
“I…” You Huan paused for a moment, then confessed, “I also have someone I like.”
Jiang Mianmian's eyes lit up.
Then You Huan said, "But he doesn't know that I never said that."
Why?
"Because... I'm afraid of being rejected."
You Huan's faint voice was drowned out by the sound of the waves.
Her profile was veiled by the night with a touch of sadness.

At the same time, Huo Junyu also met Wen Jie at a bar.
The bar was small but quiet. On stage, a singer was performing a soulful blues tune, while the patrons below drank their drinks and kept their voices down, even when they were chatting.
Huo Junyu and Wen Jie raised their glasses, the strong, sweet taste of tequila spreading in their mouths.
Just then, Wen Jie's phone rang. He saw Xia Zhi's name on the screen and a cold, annoyed smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He hung up the phone, Xia Zhi called again, and he hung up again.
Xia Zhi sent him a message, a voice message. He listened to it, and the woman called out "Husband" in an extremely seductive voice, then asked him, "What are you doing? Why aren't you answering my calls?"
Huo Junyu almost spat out the tequila he had just drunk.
"From now on, you're not allowed to listen to voice messages on speakerphone!" He glared at Wen Jie.
