Mu Tiantian cheated on him without any warning. Shen Xuan didn't even know when she left. If Tong Lan hadn't been so desperate later, he wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened.
Although he was very angry about Mu Tiantian's behavior, he was more rational than Tong Lan and analyzed the reasons. However, no matter how much he analyzed, it was useless. At least one thing was true.
Mu Tiantian was determined to break up with him.
Shen Xuan and Mu Tiantian looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Han Min looked Mu Tiantian up and down, feeling that she looked very familiar.
Just as Sun Yu was about to say something to ease the tension, his phone rang. He walked aside and answered the call.
A few minutes later, he returned and said to Mu Tiantian, "Tiantian, I have something to do. Tong Lan's office is on the top floor, but he probably won't be back for a while."
"Okay." Mu Tiantian replied, and Sun Yu hurriedly left.
Han Min recognized Mu Tiantian and exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you the Mu Tiantian who's been really popular lately? You sing so well, even Actor Ye likes you. I remember he got you to number one on the charts, didn't he?"
"Thank you for the compliment. I was just lucky to be seen by Actor Ye," Mu Tiantian replied politely and humbly.
Han Min, the female lead in the world, is a member of the SG girl group. She debuted as the center of the group and is an artist signed with Blue Sky Entertainment, so she has excellent resources.
Because of her cool and aloof features and sexy figure, she adopts a mature and sophisticated style. Her public persona is that of a carefree and straightforward person, which makes her quite popular with the audience.
"Did you come to Lantian to sign a contract? Where is your team?" Han Min asked bluntly.
"...I don't have a team."
"Really? You're really amazing." Han Min didn't quite believe it in her heart, but she pretended to be shocked.
At this moment, Shen Xuan spoke calmly, "Long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Han Min noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off, and Shen Xuan, who was usually very talkative, was now much quieter.
Is there something going on between the two of them?
Han Min casually put her arm around Shen Xuan's shoulder and teased, "You two know each other? I was telling you, your eyes were wide open when you saw her video last time."
Shen Xuan's shoulder tilted slightly, and Han Min's arm slipped down.
Han Min was surprised. Was Shen Xuan deliberately keeping his distance from her?
In front of this woman?
"Tian Tian, let's have a meal together," Shen Xuan invited, wanting to ask what exactly happened back then.
To put it bluntly, they just wanted to get some information out of him.
"Okay." Mu Tiantian nodded. Shen Xuan was Tong Lan's good friend and also considered her a good friend. He also had shares in Lantian Entertainment.
She could roughly guess that Shen Xuan probably wanted to ask about what happened back then, so she started thinking about how to cover up the lie she told back then.
"Brother Xuan is treating, so I'll have to tag along. I know a new place recently opened..."
"Minmin, you have a schedule this afternoon, it's almost time, I'll be going now." Shen Xuan interrupted Han Min, this was not a suitable occasion to bring her along.
Although Han Min usually seemed to have no distance between them, he could sense that she didn't have any other feelings for him.
Since that's the case, there's no need for him to get any closer to her.
Han Min stood frozen in place, while Shen Xuan and Mu Tiantian left side by side.
This was the first time Shen Xuan had rejected her, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Tiantian glanced back and saw Han Min walking in the opposite direction with a grim expression.
She glanced at Shen Xuan beside her and said, "You like her."
According to predictions, Shen Xuan will fall in love with Han Min, making him a devoted second male lead.
She could also tell from the way Shen Xuan looked at Han Min that he liked her, hence his certainty.
Shen Xuan smiled. "Is it that obvious? I clearly kept my distance from her just now."
"You did this on purpose, but why did you do it?"
"They don't like me, so... I should keep my distance." Shen Xuan said casually, not seeming too upset.
When he realized he had feelings for Han Min, he confessed his love. He never liked beating around the bush, but Han Min's response was that she didn't know what kind of feelings she had for him.
He gave her time to think it over, but instead of giving a definite answer, she kept getting closer to Tong Lan and didn't keep her distance from him.
If he asks her if she has made up her mind, she will say that she hasn't thought it through yet, neither accepting nor rejecting.
This was unacceptable to Shen Xuan, who always felt like he was being strung along by her, so he decided to keep his distance from her.
Shen Xuan said, "I've cut my losses in time."
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian stopped asking questions.
Before leaving the company, Shen Xuan put on a hat, glasses, and a mask, covering himself up completely.
There's no way around it; if he and Mu Tiantian are photographed by paparazzi, it'll definitely trend on social media.
The two went downstairs to the restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and started chatting.
As expected, Shen Xuan asked about what happened four years ago.
However, Mu Tiantian kept changing the subject, asking how Tong Lan had been doing all these years, her words filled with guilt towards Tong Lan.
Shen Xuan originally wanted to get some information out of her, but she ended up getting a lot of information out of him instead.
Seeing that she really didn't want to talk, Shen Xuan didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the subject and chatted about some interesting things, which made Mu Tiantian laugh heartily.
System: [Chen Xuan's rage value decreased by 30, currently at 20; Tong Lan's hatred value increased by 10, currently at 120.]
Mu Tiantian paused in her eating when she heard Tong Lan's hatred level rise.
"What's wrong?" Just as Shen Xuan finished asking, he caught a glimpse of a blue-haired man wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses standing outside the window.
Mu Tiantian followed Shen Xuan's gaze and saw Tong Lan looking at her. If she looked closely, she could see that Tong Lan's eyes behind the sunglasses contained anger.
Tong Lan strode into the restaurant and walked towards her. A few seconds later, he stood in front of her, looking down at her.
"What are you doing here?" Tong Lan asked coldly.
Mu Tiantian explained, "I... Shen Xuan treated us, and I happened to haven't had lunch yet, so I came over for a bite."
“Yes, Tong Lan, we just happened to run into each other at the company,” Shen Xuan added, offering a brief explanation.
Tong Lan gave him a cold look, and even through his sunglasses, Shen Xuan could feel the chill in his eyes.
Tong Lan grabbed Mu Tiantian and pulled her out, completely disregarding whether paparazzi were taking pictures of her.
Shen Xuan quickly glanced around and saw that the restaurant customers hadn't noticed them and relaxed a little.
Tong Lan tends to lose her temper whenever it comes to anything related to Mu Tiantian.
After Tong Lan grabbed Mu Tiantian's wrist and entered the company, they took the private elevator. The company employees were very surprised to see Tong Lan holding hands with a woman, and they started gossiping again.
They remained silent the whole way until Tong Lan pulled Mu Tiantian into the office, at which point they calmed down.
"Tongtong, it hurts..." Mu Tiantian's voice was soft and sweet as she cried out in pain.
Upon hearing this, Tong Lan quickly released her hand, revealing five red finger marks on her porcelain-white, slender wrist.
