When the group went downstairs, the people below were engaged in a heated fight.
A man and a woman were seen entangled together. After the woman was pushed to the ground, she grabbed whatever she could and threw it at them in anger.
Her hoarse voice still trembled with sobs: "I'm just unlucky to have ended up with someone like you."
Standing to the side, Li Tangyan looked at the chaotic scene before her, her eyes flickering for a moment, not even realizing that the position she was standing in was not safe.
Just then, a rock came hurtling towards her, and the gasps of surprise around her were eventually replaced by the sound of a gust of wind.
In a dizzying moment, Li Tangyan found herself in someone's arms.
The familiar scent filled her nostrils. Perhaps because she had caught a cold, Wen Zhaonian's body temperature was a little high, and the hand that was gripping her wrist was so hot that she felt a burning sensation on the tips of her ears.
Wen Zhaonian glanced at the two people who had been stopped by the security guards who had rushed over, before turning his gaze back to Li Tangyan.
The corner of the hem of her coat was being tightly gripped by Li Tangyan's free hand.
The shoulders beneath the shirt appeared slightly thin, while the exposed neck was slender and fair.
His gaze moved upwards, and he saw that above those round eyes, the eyelashes swept up and down twice like a soft little brush, leaving a shadow.
When she noticed someone looking at her, she raised her head, her eyes clear and innocent, like some kind of animal.
Suddenly, Li Tangyan's hand, which was tugging at his clothes, twitched: "Um... although I don't mind..."
"But why don't you let go first? Otherwise, your innocence will probably be ruined by me."
As she spoke, she turned her head slightly, gesturing for Wen Zhaonian to look at the group of people beside her who had long forgotten the unexpected situation and whose eyes were filled with ambiguity.
The girl's voice, deliberately lowered, was soft and gentle, and the movement of turning her head caused the hair beside her ear to sweep across her chest.
The movement was very light, yet it felt as if a feather had brushed against my heart; the sound of the wind blew by, leaving only a slight ripple in my mind.
After a while, Li Tangyan, who was nestled in Wen Zhaonian's arms, finally couldn't help but raise her head.
At the same time, as the vibration was felt in the chest, the Adam's apple rolled down the neck.
And his voice was also hoarse and sickly:
"How exactly did you lose?"
"Tell me more?"
As the last note faded, the hand that had been holding her slender wrist withdrew, whether intentionally or unintentionally, leaving a mark as its fingertips brushed against her wrist, tinged with a burning heat.
After saying this, Wen Zhaonian gave Li Tangyan a final, deep look.
Seeing that the person was completely stunned, he twitched his lips as if satisfied and walked towards Zheng Chuanyi's direction.
It wasn't until her first birthday came close to her that Li Tangyan came back to her senses.
The wrist hanging at her side still seemed to retain some warmth. Li Tangyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and her gaze involuntarily fell on the person not far away who seemed to be talking to Zheng Chuanyi.
Even though Zhou Sui kept talking beside her, Li Tangyan didn't hear a single word.
—How exactly did it fail?
—Would you elaborate?
Wen Zhaonian's voice echoed in my mind like a tape recorder with the repeat button pressed.
As it swayed, it transformed into a sudden fireworks display, completely captivating everyone's attention.

When the three arrived at the agreed location, the sunset was just about to appear on the horizon.
The warm orange sky casts soft shadows below.
The moment the door was pushed open, the seashell wind chimes hanging on the door frame collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
He Yule was already seated by the window, looking out at the view with her head tilted to the side. Her expression was focused, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
He Yule snapped out of her daze as the wooden chair creaked as it scraped the floor.
A faint smile appeared on her slightly pale face when she saw Li Tangyan who had come with her.
Li Tangyan only found out later that they had arranged to meet He Yule that afternoon.
It was only later that Wen Zhaonian told him that the two strangers he had met at the hospital that day were found in the video he had copied from Zhang Daren that day.
Wen Zhaonian and the others suspected that He's mother's sudden change in attitude was related to these two people, so they sent the video to He Yule and asked her to take a look at her mother's attitude.
As they suspected, the two men were sent by Zhou Yong to warn her.
The gist of it was that she either had to shut up or her daughter wouldn't have a good life either.
It wasn't until the conversation was nearing its end that Wen Zhaonian turned off his phone screen again, his index finger tapping softly on the table.
His gaze fell on He Yule, his voice slightly deep: "So, knowing the future is uncertain, you still want to sue?"
“Ah Zhao—” Zheng Chuan frowned slightly, feeling that Wen Zhaonian’s words were too direct. He was about to say something when He Yule interrupted him first.
"tell."
The girl's voice was soft and gentle, but her slightly pale face showed no sign of determination.

When I came out of the store again, the sunset that had just appeared was already covered by layers of dark clouds, and the rumbling sounds that came from time to time indicated that it would rain heavily again soon.
Zheng Chuanyi and He Yule had to return to the law firm to discuss some details, so they left first.
With a muffled clap of thunder, raindrops began to fall from the sky, quickly creating patches of water on the ground.
Snap—
As a soft sound reached his ears, before he could even look in the direction of the sound, a shadow fell from above, keeping the raindrops out of the umbrella.
Wen Zhaonian turned his head and saw Li Tangyan standing on tiptoe with her right hand stretched high.
He didn't even notice that the rainwater running down the edge of the umbrella had blurred his shoulder, leaving a dark layer on his skin.
Her eyes were bright, radiating a pure and innocent quality.
Without realizing it, a slight smile curved his thin lips, his words carrying a hint of teasing: "Are you imitating the Statue of Liberty?"
"Does it look like it? Let's not talk about that for now. You should switch with me. It's too high, and my arms are getting sore."
Li Tangyan took another step forward, her head slightly raised, her suspended hand beginning to sway gently.
The scent of rain mixed with earth was eventually replaced by a faint lime fragrance.
Wen Zhaonian lowered his head and saw Li Tangyan gesturing between the two of them with a slightly exaggerated hand gesture.
Her cheeks puffed out slightly, and her soft voice even carried a hint of unconscious coquetry at the end.
He's not very tall, but he's getting better and better at ordering people around.
Thinking this, her well-defined knuckles had already replaced Li Tangyan's hand covering the umbrella handle.
Watching her happily turn her back and move closer to him, he subtly shifted the umbrella's direction, saying, "Let's go, the statue."
