His gaze swept over their intertwined limbs, with a hint of deliberate inquiry.
Rong Shenghan immediately shielded Yu Jiuyuan behind him, his smile still gentle, but his tone distant: "Is Ji also interested in biology?"
"I know a little bit about it." Ji Nianqin looked at Yu Jiuyuan. "Jiuyuan, do you have time? I'd like to invite you for a cup of coffee and talk about the cultivation details of 'Jiuyuan fans'."
"I'm busy." Yu Jiuyuan took Rong Shenghan's arm, her smile sweet yet sharp. "I need to be with my people."
"Your people?" Ji Nianqin raised an eyebrow. "Rong, is it? I thought..."
"What did you think?" Rong Shenghan interrupted him, tightening his arms and pulling Yu Jiuyuan closer to him. "Did you think Jiuyuan was still your so-called 'fiancée'?"
"I won't trouble you with my affairs with Jiu Yuan, classmate." Ji Nianqin's smile faded slightly.

But it's okay.
He had plenty of patience and played this game called "strategy" with her.
Until she completely belonged to him alone.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the glass windows of the exhibition hall, casting long shadows of the two people embracing.
In the distance, Xie Zhecheng stood in front of the booth, his gaze fixed on Yu Jiuyuan, lingering there for a long time.
Lin Yanran hid behind a pillar, clenching her fists tightly, her eyes filled with resentment.
The battle surrounding Yu Jiuyuan has only just begun.
And she stood in the eye of the storm, smiling calmly and charmingly, like a true queen, looking down at the masses who were going crazy for her.
