Her eyelashes trembled, and she met the man's confused eyes, opened her mouth and ate it, smiling: "Why are you so nice to me?"

The man felt that there was something subtly wrong with her mood, but he didn't think it was his fault. He just looked at Shen You unkindly, tapped her nose lightly with his clean fingertips, and said gently: "You will be my wife in the future. If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well?"

Xu Yefan smiled, but her mood was no longer as sweet as before when she heard his sweet words. Instead, it was a little complicated.

She is an absolute face-obsessed person. Her family was strict when she was in school, so the boys of the same age who were her relatives were the ones she interacted with the most. However, boys with personalities like Xu Ruilei's were common, which made Xu Yefan inevitably disappointed.

Without comparison, there is no harm. She admitted that she was tempted by her beauty and that Xiao Mo acted like a perfect boyfriend to her. He was cold to all the opposite sex except her, and his face said "No strangers allowed". But he was gentle and considerate in front of her, and spoke sweet words. Who wouldn't be moved? People around him said that his appearance was suspicious. Xu Yefan was not without suspicion, otherwise she would not have specially invited Shen You to have this meal. But deep down, she hoped that they were like the romantic plot in the TV series, without any impurities.

Shen You sneered in his heart.

[Hehe, he's counting on you to be her shield. If you don't play your part well, how can you be obedient? ]

When Shen You first saw the man, he didn't think much about it. But when he heard Xu Yefan's description of their encounter, Shen You was shocked.

Thinking back on it now, she felt that their meeting was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Xu Yefan's heart skipped a beat. He glanced sideways and saw the man peeling shrimps with a focused expression. He didn't show anything unusual, and it seemed that he didn't hear Shen You's thoughts.

[He pretended to have lost his memory. His real name is Leng Huaimo, and he is the illegitimate son of the old man of the Leng family, a family of Taoist priests. In the past two years, the health of the old man has been getting worse and worse. His sons have been fighting for the position of successor. When they learned that he had an illegitimate son, they were furious. Not only did they secretly send people to hunt him down, they also secretly leaked the news to the enemies of the Leng family, making Leng Huaimo vulnerable to attacks from all sides.]

Xu Yefan suddenly realized.

No wonder he was so hurt when she met him in the parking lot that day. No wonder he always stayed indoors with the excuse of social phobia, and even asked to have dinner in a private room. It turned out that he was being hunted by someone.

[He knew from a young age that he was an illegitimate child. His mother had been hiding from the light of day and had vented all her hatred on him. He hated his own dirty blood and hated the world even more.]

Xu Yefan: It sounds like Leng Huaimo is following the most common scenario of a beautiful, strong and miserable man. At this time, a girl needs to appear to save him. Could it be... that this person is her? Thinking of this, her heartbeat accelerated, but the next second, she heard——

[Everyone who approaches him has ulterior motives, until Xia Xiaoyue, who is also his illegitimate daughter, appears. They cherish each other, they keep each other warm, they have seen each other's darkest side, they struggle in the darkness together, and regard each other as the closest people. They have been inseparable because of their reliance on each other. Deep in his heart, he has already regarded her as the only light in his life.]

Xu Yefan:?

Who is Xia Xiaoyue? I've never heard of her before? So Leng Huaimo does have a beautiful, strong and tragic script, but the heroine in his life is not her? Then why did he go to her? Go find his Xia Xiaoyue!

[Oh, Xia Xiaoyue hasn't appeared in front of Xu Yefan yet, but it will be soon.]

Xu Yefan: Soon? What soon? The heroine of Leng Huaimo's life is about to appear? She is about to leave and get a box lunch? [Oh my god, today is really a Hongmen Banquet! I should have checked the almanac before agreeing to Xu Yefan's date! ]

Hearing this, Xu Yefan's eyebrows jumped.

What does it mean? What is the Hongmen Feast?

Xu Yefan: “…” Thank you. I’m mentally prepared to get the box lunch.

She was somewhat relieved that she didn't have deep feelings for Leng Huaimo yet. She wouldn't be too sad if she pulled away now. She could just think of it as a dream she had had these days.

Knowing the truth in advance and being mentally prepared will prevent you from being too embarrassed when you encounter it.

[But Leng Huaimo is such a dishonest person. Not only did he act by himself, he also asked Xia Xiaoyue to cooperate with him and lied to Xu Yefan that she was his sister. He also asked Xia Xiaoyue to secretly ask Xu Yefan to continue pretending to be the girlfriend of "brother" in the identity of his sister, so as to cover up for Leng Huaimo. Tsk tsk tsk, this kind of shady trick that hurts two women at the same time and harms others without benefiting himself can only be thought of by a dark person like Leng Huaimo! ]

Xu Yefan: What? Not only does he want to continue to use her, but he also wants to PUA his sweetheart to cooperate with him in his acting? How despicable! She was so shocked that she lost her appetite. She even felt that there was something wrong with the man's face.

At this time, Leng Huaimo was peeling another shrimp and was about to feed it to her mouth. Xu Yefan felt nauseous and subconsciously turned her head to avoid it.

The man paused, and seeing her pale face, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing," Xu Yefan sighed and said calmly, "I just feel a little nauseous all of a sudden."

Hearing this, the man frowned and glanced at the seafood on the table, "Could it be that the ingredients are not fresh?"

As he said this, he got up and called the waiter.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Seeing this, Xu Yefan didn't stop him, as she just needed to calm down.

Seeing Leng Huaimo leave, Shen You blinked and said with concern, "Ye Fan, you don't look too well. How about asking your boyfriend to go to the nearby pharmacy to buy some medicine?"

Xu Yefan shook his head: "I'm fine."

Shen You didn't continue to persuade him, and nodded: "Okay."

She didn't feel that the food was not fresh. With Leng Huaimo around, she ate even more happily.

While eating, she continued to read the collection of evil melon-eating. As she read, she couldn't help but look up and gave Xu Yefan a sympathetic look.

Xu Yefan was preoccupied with something. When he met her gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling for some reason. "Youyou, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?"

Shen You quickly shook his head: "No, I just envy you for finding such a tall, handsome and considerate boyfriend!"

Xu Yefan: “…”

If you didn't sigh secretly in your heart, I could still believe you for two seconds.
