“Hiding from me? Why?” Shen Yan couldn’t help but laugh.
“I… I’m not; it’s just that… I feel shy.”
Lin Shuangxu didn’t even know why she felt shy, but being caught red-handed by Shen Yan made her even more embarrassed.
Zhou Yan cleared his throat, “Came here for dinner?”
“Would we come here for anything other than eating? Perhaps to catch cheaters?” Shen Yan looked at them with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Zhou Yan: “…”
Lin Shuangxu: “…”
“I’m meeting someone here. You two take your time to talk. If things don’t go well, don’t climb into bed.”
Boom!
Lin Shuangxu’s face turned entirely red.
Zhou Yan also felt his face heat up.
Shen Yan looked as though she was completely unaware of what she had just said, heading towards the private room reserved by Zhang Yu.
Zhou Yan glanced over and nodded to the restaurant manager, quietly covering the bill for Shen Yan and her party.
After learning that Zhou Yan was the young master of this place, Lin Shuangxu was utterly shocked. Everyone in school had been saying Zhou Yan was only from a well-off family. She had assumed Zhou Yan was the same as her, which is why she had agreed to be his girlfriend.
One moment she had accepted him, and the next, she was brought here and bombarded with explanations, which nearly made Lin Shuangxu want to flee.
If their family backgrounds had been the same, she would have felt more at ease.
But this disparity was too great for her to handle all at once.
Her first thought upon learning about Zhou Yan’s family was of a scene from a TV drama, where the male lead’s mother offers a hefty sum of cash to the Cinderella, telling her to take the money and stay far away from her son. Along with that, the mother would hurl malicious insults, deeming Cinderella unworthy…
Zhou Yan had no idea Lin Shuangxu had already concocted such a melodramatic scenario in her head. He held her hand and led her toward a better seat.
Planning to sit down and explain everything to her again.

When Shen Yan walked in and saw not only Zhang Yu but also Su Huai, she was taken aback.
“Zhang Yu didn’t tell you I was coming too,” Su Huai stood up and pulled out a chair for Shen Yan, “You don’t mind, do you?”
“Why would I? I’m just surprised,” Shen Yan replied.
“He hasn’t been busy lately. He came specially to accompany me and also wanted to see you!” Zhang Yu winked at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was somewhat puzzled.
Su Huai, exasperated, pushed a cup of water toward Zhang Yu, “There’s nothing wrong with friends meeting. We all just want you to arrange an official dinner for us.”
“???”
What dinner should I arrange?
“It’s about your wedding,” Zhang Yu said, “We’re all friends here. Shouldn’t you and your significant other treat us to a meal?”
Shen Yan realized what they meant and smiled, “No problem. He can arrive in Shen City today. If you’re not in a rush to leave, we can meet tomorrow.”
“I never thought you would marry so soon!” It took Zhang Yu and the others a long time to digest this.
They had met the person, but not formally.
“The family arranged it. However, we are both very happy to get married.” Although there had been some misunderstandings between them initially, by now, Shen Yan felt they genuinely liked each other.
“Let’s not talk about this. I heard that the Bai Family is behind the recent attack on you. What were they thinking? They don’t care about the previous collaboration anymore? That movie they invested in is about to be released—are they looking to make a loss?”
Zhang Yu was utterly speechless when he found out about these rumors.
Later, Qi Si also found out that it was the Bai Family who had recommended her for the role and was speechless at this discovery.
“I had a minor spat with the Bai Family, so their move is not unexpected,” Shen Yan said with an air of nonchalance.
“You don’t seem worried at all, but the Bai Family is no ordinary opponent. They might really come after you with all their might. No matter how capable your man is or how much Star Language Media protects you, you’ll still end up skinned,” Zhang Yu said with deep concern.
“If the Bai Family wants to take advantage of me, they should have considered that I would fight back,” Shen Yan said with a slight smile.
Seeing Shen Yan’s relaxed demeanor, Zhang Yu and Su Huai no longer brought up the matter, and Zhang Yu happily accepted the role.

Bai Zhong had a car accident!
Shen Yan had just arranged a dinner with Zhang Yu and Su Huai when she received a call from Xiao Zhao, who told her about Bai Zhong’s car accident.
The news was already out, and the scene was described as rather gruesome.
However, Bai Zhong was lucky to still be alive, though the reports didn’t specify the severity of his injuries.
Shen Yan opened the APP and saw the news. In the footage, someone was carrying the bloodied Bai Zhong onto an ambulance.
That car accident…
Shen Yan frowned slightly and messaged Qi Si.
Qi Si called back, “It wasn’t me who made a move.”
Bai Zhong wasn’t worth him using such despicable methods.
“An ordinary accident?”
“I’ll have someone look into it.”
“Since it’s unrelated to us, let’s not bother investigating and give the Bai Family a chance to blame us. You’re taking the afternoon flight?”
“Yes, I just have a few things to sort out, and then I can leave,” said Qi Si, his voice seemingly tinged with a gentle smile, “Wait for me.”

“Bai Zhong was in a car accident, but his injuries are not severe; he will be able to leave the hospital after a few days of recovery. The other people weren’t so lucky—three innocent bystanders died,” Liu Su informed Shen Yan after having his company’s people look into the situation.
Shen Yan thought for a moment, “Do you know how the accident happened?”
“It was an accident; a truck lost control, but the people inside were desperately trying to save lives, otherwise the accident could have led to even more deaths,” Liu Su couldn’t help but recall the previous accident involving Shen Yan and Qi Si.
Shen Yan hummed an acknowledgment and told Liu Su there was no need to follow up on it.
Liu Su knew that it was best not to show excessive concern for Shen Yan at this time. With the Bai Family operating in the shadows against her, and after such an incident, they would likely be the first to suspect their side.
Although there was no evidence, it would still be troublesome if the Bai Family made a fuss.
Of course, they were not afraid even if it came to that.

After finishing her last class that afternoon, Shen Yan stepped out and her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
She rejected the call, but it rang again repeatedly until Shen Yan finally answered on the third ring.
“Shen Yan, you did this, didn’t you? Why would you do such a thing!” Shen Ning’s icy accusation came through from the other side.
Shen Yan did not speak.
“Bai Zhong has nothing to do with it. If you want to target us, then target us directly, but don’t involve innocent people. Shen Yan, I don’t want any innocent people to get hurt because of our issues. So please, stop what you’re doing and leave the Bai Family alone.”
As she walked out, Shen Yan’s pace slowed slightly and her eyes grew darker, but she remained silent.
“The person you should be targeting is us, Shen Yan; if you have any grievances, take it up with us. Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will not let you go,” Shen Ning’s voice became increasingly cold.
“Innocent? You call Bai Zhong innocent?” Shen Yan let out a cold laugh, “If I were to make a move against him, it wouldn’t be just a car accident. Shen Ning, you have no right to speak to me like this. Bai Zhong tried to blacklist me; do you still think he is innocent? I’ve done nothing; heaven is punishing him. Shen Ning, this man really does love you quite a bit. Seeing how happy you are, honestly, at first, I was really jealous. If you want to do something for Bai Zhong, come to Shen City and find me, I’ll be waiting.”
