"You really have a lot of friends, even though you're a thousand years old."
After saying this, Shang Ziyan made a point of observing Ling Shen's expression.
Seeing that Ling Shen had no expression, Shang Ziyan cleared her throat again and said.
"It's mainly because Qian Sui has a good personality and can get along with anyone. I heard there was a school bully named Zhang Shaochuan, and many people were afraid to talk to him, but I saw that Qian Sui got along very well with him..."
Shang Ziyan's words were an attempt to sow discord.
While it was said to be praising Chisui's good personality, it was actually implying that Chisui gets along well with many boys.
Shang Ziyan knew that Ling Shen was possessive; when she saw Qian Sui and Mu Chen together, his entire aura changed.
After Shang Ziyan said that, Ling Shen's expression really darkened.
Ling Shen's brow twitched, he withdrew his gaze, and relaxed a little.
Ling Shen looked up at Shang Ziyan and said, "That's true, the young master's personality is indeed quite good."
After Shang Ziyan finished speaking, she saw that Ling Shen didn't say anything, and her heart skipped a beat. She thought Ling Shen would be angry.
Shang Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ling Shen say those words.
Shang Ziyan said, "Yes, Qiansui has many friends in the drama club."
Upon hearing this, Ling Shen did not say anything further.
Ling Shen glanced at his watch and said, "I have something to do later, so I'll be leaving now."
The conversation ended abruptly, leaving Shang Ziyan stunned.
Ling Shen had been very nice to her just now, and then this little incident happened. Shang Ziyan could sense the change in Ling Shen's emotions, so she deliberately mentioned Qian Sui to make Ling Shen have even more opinions about Qian Sui.
She thought that if she did this, Ling Shen would talk to her more, and maybe, like last time, Ling Shen would take her out shopping or have coffee together to improve their relationship.
But unexpectedly, Ling Shen suddenly said he had something to do.
Shang Ziyan was a little taken aback and paused for a moment before asking, "Is it about work?"
Ling Shen hummed in agreement, then looked at Shang Ziyan and said, "Then I'll be going now."
After Ling Shen finished speaking, he walked directly towards the elevator, giving Shang Ziyan no chance to react.
Shang Ziyan was stunned for a while, then she caught up with Ling Shen and stood at the elevator door.
Ling Shen glanced at Shang Ziyan, who pointed to the elevator, chuckled twice, and said, "I'm going downstairs too."
Ling Shen didn't say anything. When the elevator arrived, the two of them entered the elevator one after the other.
In the elevator, Shang Ziyan also wanted to strike up a conversation with Ling Shen, but Ling Shen kept looking down at his phone and seemed very busy, so Shang Ziyan had no choice but to shut up.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Ling Shen put away his phone and walked forward, while Lu Jiayan had already parked the car downstairs.
Ling Shen got into the back seat, and Lu Jiayan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, couldn't help but exclaim "Oh!" when he saw Shang Ziyan coming out behind Ling Shen.
"Shang Ziyan, you're here too?"
Shang Ziyan didn't go forward, but stood by the car and looked at it. She tilted her head and smiled at Lu Jiayan, saying, "We were rehearsing upstairs, and we ran into Senior Ling Shen when we came down."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiayan turned to look at Ling Shen with a meaningful gaze: "Oh, what a coincidence."
Ling Shen sat in the back seat and didn't say anything more.
Although Lu Jiayan liked to joke, he was also sensible. After saying a few words to Shang Ziyan, he said that he had something to do and left first.
After the car drove away, Lu Jiayan glanced at Shang Ziyan, who was still standing in the same spot, through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but say, "Wow, good heavens, Shang Ziyan really looks more and more like Qian Sui."
Ling Shen was looking at his phone when he heard Lu Jiayan's words, so he looked up.
Ling Shen's expression was unpleasant. He glanced at Lu Jiayan with a gloomy look and then said, "Does it look very similar?"
Lu Jiayan spoke the truth as he drove, saying, "His clothing style, his appearance, and that beauty mark under his eye—at first glance, I thought it was a copy-paste job."
As Lu Jiayan spoke, he seemed to remember something and said, "But it seems that Qian Sui has changed her style recently. She has changed from a traditional Chinese style beauty to a modern urban woman. She looks very fashionable now."
Lu Jiayan paused, then continued, "Perhaps Qian Sui also doesn't like people saying that Shang Ziyan looks like her, which is why she suddenly changed her style. If it were me, I would probably do the same."
Before Lu Jiayan could finish speaking, Ling Shen sneered and said, "You? If someone's style is like yours, they'd probably feel like they're getting a bad luck charm."
Lu Jiayan: "..."
Although Ling Shen often teases Lu Jiayan, it's rare to see him so angry today.
Lu Jiayan glanced at Ling Shen through the rearview mirror and noticed that Ling Shen's expression was off, so he asked, "What's wrong? What did Shang Ziyan do just now?"
Ling Shen lowered his gaze, put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, and began to close his eyes to rest.
Seeing his reaction, Lu Jiayan didn't press him further, nor would he say anything.
They were rushing to a meeting, so time was tight, but when they passed the small auditorium, Ling Shen still said he wanted to go up and take a look.
Lu Jiayan knew what Ling Shen wanted to do.
The Emperor has a performance and is currently rehearsing. He probably wants to go up and see the Emperor.
However, when Ling Shen came down after going up for more than 20 minutes, Shang Ziyan was following behind him. He didn't know what had happened up there.
The car sped along the road.
Perhaps out of sheer boredom, Lu Jiayan couldn't help but ask, "So when you went upstairs earlier, you couldn't find Qian Sui, so you found a substitute?"
Ling Shen: "......"
Ling Shen kept his eyes closed, but his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
