Kyoto, a villa in the city center.
Qin Mo came to the villa to find Feng Yunzhou, only to find Feng Yunzhou working on documents at his desk.
Qin Mo sat down on the sofa and said, "Zhiyu will be here soon, so you should restrain yourself."
Feng Yunzhou paused on the document, and a blot of ink spread across the paper.
He leaned back heavily in his chair and glanced at the abrupt stain on the document.
"Qin Mo, she can't let me go."
"Shi Wan?"
"Um."
"and you…"
“I can’t let her go either.” Before Qin Mo could finish speaking, Feng Yunzhou interrupted him.
Upon hearing these words, Qin Mo's brows furrowed instantly.
Feng Yunzhou closed his eyes briefly, concealing the torment and pain in his gaze.
His eyes held a hint of stubbornness.
"Qin Mo, she loves me. She said she would never leave me and would only love me."
Qin Mo instinctively felt that he had gone mad. "Yunzhou, you're about to marry Zhiyu. You were the one who chose Zhiyu back then."
"Love is the most precious thing. When she has nothing but you in her heart and eyes, you are either deceiving her or wasting her love. We have no right to squander other people's love."
Qin Mo looked at his friend of more than twenty years and couldn't bear it, so he spoke up to persuade him.
The room fell silent, which was then broken by Feng Yunzhou's words.
“Shi Wan is different; she wouldn’t do that.”
He admitted that she initially approached him because Lin Zhiyu had been gone for several years without any news, and she looked a lot like Lin Zhiyu.
But after spending several years together, he discovered that apart from the resemblance in their eyes and brows, the two had nothing in common.
Later, he gradually became attracted to her every smile and gesture.
She was stunningly beautiful then, and told him that he was her everything, and she would spend the rest of her life loving him. She could never let go of him in this lifetime.
Therefore, Shi Wan was just being difficult with him and couldn't possibly actually like Lu Jingyan.
She was angry that she had lied to her for so many years.
She was angry because she had misunderstood that Jiang Le had pushed her downstairs.
He yelled at her when he was angry.
Qin Mo looked at the stubborn Feng Yunzhou in front of him and sighed softly.
Feng Yunzhou thought that Shi Wan had just had a tiff with him and would come back when she was in a better mood.
But he forgot that he was the one who caused Shi Wan's car accident that prevented her from ever standing on stage again, and he was also the one who disregarded Shi Wan and directly announced his marriage to another woman.
She could forgive Feng Yunzhou for causing her to lose the chance to stand on the stage forever, but she couldn't forgive the betrayal in their relationship; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen Lu Jingyan.
He couldn't persuade his friend, so he could only let him figure it out on his own.
...
After Qin Mo left, Feng Yunzhou called Chen Xing in and asked, "Has Zhiyu returned?"
After considering his words for a moment, Chen Xing replied, "Miss Lin just arrived, but she doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
Feng Yunzhou didn't stop reviewing the documents and casually asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hmm... I'm not too sure about that, but she just went out with Miss Lin Yue."
"Hmm, go ask Lin Yue and find out who upset her."
Chen Xing responded respectfully.
Feng Yunzhou closed the file, then got up and went downstairs. At the top of the stairs, he saw Lin Zhiyu sitting elegantly on the sofa, arranging the flowers on the table.
He walked over and gently pinched the back of her neck, then leaned down and asked tenderly, "Who upset Miss Lin?"
Lin Yue, who had just entered, was about to speak with a look of indignation when she heard Feng Yunzhou's question.
Lin Zhiyu quickly grasped Feng Yunzhou's large hand, shook her head at Lin Yue, and met Feng Yunzhou's gaze with her almond-shaped eyes. "It's nothing, just some petty people who can't stand our relationship."
"Brother-in-law, you should hurry up and get married to my cousin, otherwise when you go out, some jealous people will always say that my cousin is taking up too much space..." Lin Yue's voice unconsciously rose a little.
"Xiaoyue! Shut up! Is this how the Lin family raised you?" Lin Zhiyu lowered his eyes and gave Lin Yue a meaningful look.
After understanding, Lin Yue lowered her head as if she had done something wrong and mumbled, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure my cousin wouldn't be bullied anymore after suffering so much abroad and finally coming back with your protection."
Lin Zhiyu looked at Feng Yunzhou with misty eyes, her reddened eyes drawing pity from onlookers. "Yunzhou, I know you've been angry all these years because I left you and went abroad. If I could do it all over again, I would rather die than be forced to leave you by them."
Feng Yunzhou's dry throat rolled, and he gently brushed the stray hairs from Lin Zhiyu's forehead. "Zhiyu, I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to spend with you. I'm sorry."
"When I was little, I told you that when I grew up I would marry you, and I will never lose you again."
Feng Yunzhou gently embraced Lin Zhiyu and soothed her softly. Then he looked at Chen Xing and said, "Pass the word that I will be filming some pre-wedding scenes with Zhiyu in the next few days. Instruct the public relations department to contact the media and start promoting the film."
Chen Xing stood to the side and nodded respectfully, feeling happy for his boss, who was finally starting to act normally.
“Cousin, my mother said there’s a banquet tonight, and several wealthy ladies from Kyoto will be attending. Although it’s called a banquet, there seems to be an auction as well. There aren’t many items, but they are all rare diamonds.”
“But Auntie isn’t feeling well, so it might be inconvenient for her to go.” Lin Zhiyu’s eyes lit up instantly when she heard about the rare diamond. If she could buy it and use it as a wedding ring, she would stand out among all the socialites in the capital.
However, Lin Yue's mother was unwell, and her previously bright eyes instantly dimmed.
“I’ll go with you, and I want to give you the wedding ring that best suits you.” Feng Yunzhou’s lips curled into a gentle smile, his eyes sparkling.
"Mmm..." Lin Zhiyu leaned shyly against Feng Yunzhou's chest.
A cryptic glint flashed in his eyes: Shi Wan, didn't you want to steal Feng Yunzhou from me? Just wait and see if he ends up marrying only the white moonlight he's been longing for.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the shopping mall.
Shi Wan held Lu's mother's hand, followed by her unfortunate boyfriend, Lu Jingyan.
The three of them strolled around the mall. Lu's mother originally wanted to buy Shi Wan a few evening gowns to wear to the banquet that evening.
It's too late to order a custom-made garment now, so I'll just have to buy two ready-made outfits to make do for one night.
The three of them visited several stores but couldn't find anything suitable. However, the main reason wasn't her or Wanwan, but rather the dark-faced CEO Lu following behind them.
Since it was bought for Shi Wan by Lu's mother, Shi Wan didn't offer much feedback; she just wanted to try it out.
But the ambitious CEO Lu either complained that the slit in the skirt was too high or that Wanwan would easily catch a cold if her back was exposed too much.
Heaven knows this son is even more old-fashioned than his own mother, a woman over fifty.
"Why don't you choose?" Lu's mother glared at Lu Jingyan with annoyance.
