After hanging up the phone, Lin Yusheng asked, "What was Wen Nian trying to do to me just now?"
"Wen Nian is skilled in hypnosis, and he is very proficient in it."
Lin Yusheng was momentarily panicked. "So he was trying to hypnotize me just now?"
"Hmm." Lu Zhengye noticed her reaction and was somewhat puzzled by it.
Lin Yusheng lowered her eyes, feeling a lingering fear in her heart.
If Lu Zhengye hadn't appeared, and Wen Nian had successfully hypnotized her, would she have said something?
If Lu Zhengye found out about my rebirth, would he be angry?
After all, Lu Zhengye had emphasized from the beginning that she should not deceive him.
“Sheng Sheng”.
Lu Zhengye interrupted her thoughts with his voice.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
"I apologize to you on behalf of Wen Nian."
Lu Zhengye was thinking that if Lin Yusheng continued to act like that, he really wouldn't be able to resist asking her what she was thinking.
In the past, he would have asked without hesitation, but now he doesn't dare, afraid that some reason might make him unable to accept it.
Lin Yusheng smiled slightly, "No need to apologize. After all, he was doing it for your own good. I'm happy that someone loves you."
"At least during those toughest days, you weren't alone."
Lu Zhengye gripped the steering wheel tightly, the pale blue veins on the back of his hand bulging out, sexy yet powerful.
Just then, they came to a traffic light. Lu Zhengye stepped on the brake and reached out his right hand to stroke Lin Yusheng's head.
He smiled faintly and said, "That's enough."
As long as you mean it sincerely, I can forgive you even if you're hiding something from me.
Lin Yusheng asked, puzzled, "What's enough?"
Lu Zhengye shook his head. "It's nothing. Let's go home."

Bai Ning drove to Twilight Bar.
When they found Wen Shengyao, he was lying on the sofa in the private room, completely drunk.
Bai Ning pushed open the door to the private room and walked in, drawing everyone's attention.
She walked directly towards Wen Shengyao and reached out to help him.
Wen Shengyao was feeling nauseous, so he impatiently pulled his hand away from his arm and shouted angrily, "Don't touch me."
Bai Ning, "Yu Sheng asked me to come and take you home."
Upon hearing Bai Ning's voice, Wen Shengyao sobered up considerably.
But then he felt a pang of disappointment and gave a self-deprecating laugh, “Yusheng, it’s Yusheng again. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have come at all.”
The private room was full of Wen Shengyao's friends, and they all knew that Bai Ning was the source of his heartache, so they remained silent.
"If you look for me, I will come."
Wen Shengyao was taken aback, then became somewhat happy, "Really?"
"Really, but as friends, we can only be friends."
"Why?" Wen Shengyao asked sadly.
"I thought I had explained enough before."
Wen Shengyao said, "That's not enough. I don't accept any of your previous explanations. The past is the past, and the present is the present. We should all look forward, shouldn't we?"
In Bai Ning's eyes, the once sunny and cheerful young man now reeked of alcohol and was filled with sadness.
It's all her fault.
“Even after the injury heals, it will still leave a scar. Besides, my injury will never heal completely.”
“Wen Shengyao, you’ve had a smooth life, living in a honey pot, and you’re so naive. It’s childish of you to force me to forget my pain.”
Bai Ning's tone was always calm and even, but every word she spoke was piercing.
Wen Shengyao's eyes filled with tears, which eventually fell.
His many friends present had never seen him like this before. They originally thought it was just a whim and that he would come out in a few days.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Someone couldn't help but advise Bai Ning, "This is the first time I've seen Sheng Yao like this. Sister, you've been through a lot of hardship, but he's willing to share it with you. You can tell him. Time can heal all wounds."
Bai Ning thought to herself: It's impossible. Her enemy is still alive, and she will never let this go.
Wen Shengyao thought Bai Ning had wavered, so he nodded and said, "That's right, I will do everything in my power to protect you from now on, and I will never let you suffer any more grievances."
Bai Ning closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "That's enough. I'll take you home."
Wen Shengyao was taken aback.
Bai Ning was not tempted at all; he could tell.
He was utterly heartbroken. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "No need. I can go back by myself."
"I'll wait for you at the door. I'll take you home whenever you're done playing."
Wen Shengyao clenched his fists and shouted childishly, "I told you, I don't want you."
Bai Ning felt a dull ache in her heart for a moment, but she suppressed her emotions and showed no sign of it on the surface.
"This is my mission, and I must complete it," Bai Ning said firmly.
Although Wen Shengyao's friends knew that Bai Ning had the right to refuse, they still felt sorry for him as Wen Shengyao's friends.
"Brother, if she wants to wait, let her wait outside. Let's continue playing our games."
"that is."
"Exactly, let her wait if she wants to."
Looking at her indifferent face, Wen Shengyao asked, "Is the mission all you care about?"
"Yes." Bai Ning replied without hesitation.
Wen Shengyao smiled. "I understand. You can wait as you please."
Bai Ning went out and closed the door, cutting off the sounds from inside the private room.
Looking at the dimly lit corridor, she felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness, and her eyes welled up with tears.
She hadn't cried in so long, but now she really wanted to have a good cry.
If her parents were still alive, what would her life have been like with Wen Shengyao, following their original trajectory?
Wen Shengyao, who was in the private room, drank several glasses of wine in a row, and his already dizzy head became even more dizzy.
But his gaze still unconsciously drifted towards the door.
He knew that she must be standing alone by that door, expressionless, her whole being radiating loneliness and sorrow.
Wen Shengyao stood up unsteadily.
His friend asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Going to the toilet."
When Wen Shengyao walked out the door, he deliberately avoided looking at Bai Ning.
When he staggered back after using the toilet, he saw several lewd men surrounding Bai Ning.
"Little sister, why are you standing at the door? Come on, let's have a drink together. It's on me."
"Yeah, yeah, who told you to wait here all alone? Come on, let your brothers take care of you."
Bai Ning didn't intend to pay attention to their foul language; as long as they didn't make a move, she would pretend she hadn't heard it.
But Wen Shengyao clearly didn't think so.
Already seething with anger, he charged forward, grabbed the leader's head, and began to relentlessly pound on it.
The man was caught off guard and pinned to the ground. Before he could react, he was beaten and screamed in pain.
Bai Ning was also surprised by this sudden scene.
There were four sleazy men in total. When they saw their companion being beaten, they all prepared to take action.
Just as a man was about to grab Wen Shengyao's arm, a small hand grabbed his wrist.
