"Since that’s the case, I’ll head back." Yang Junming said, and without further delay, he left.

Inside Han Xue’s room, she leaned slantingly against the bed, her silver hair quietly draped down both sides, wrinkles lined her face, which looked old and haggard, nowhere reminiscent of Jiang City’s top beauty.

Suddenly, the phone beside her rang abruptly.

After picking up, Han Xue asked, "What’s up?"

On the other end was Lin Qingmeng, who was well aware of Han Xue’s illness; she understood what this meant for a woman, so every day she took the time to contact Shen Hanxue, chat with her, hoping she would actively cooperate with the treatment.

"I have fewer things to deal with today, should be back soon. Is there anything you want to eat? I can buy it for you," Lin Qingmeng said.

"No, you eat by yourself, you know, I don’t want to see anyone." Han Xue’s voice was faint, her refusal was clear even though the other person was her best friend, she still wasn’t willing to meet.

"Han Xue, you’re really being unreasonable, right? We’re sisters, and we’re the closest you have, you might not want to see anyone else, but how can you refuse to see me?" Lin Qingmeng said, pretending to be angry.

If Han Xue had heard this before, she might have softened her stance, but now, she held firm, the closer the relationship, the stronger her resistance.

"Didn’t you start dating someone recently? Have fun with them, don’t worry about me." With these words, Han Xue ended the call.

From her side of the phone, Lin Qingmeng couldn’t help but let out a sigh; indeed she had a date these days, but compared to Han Xue, it was hardly worth mentioning.

"Damned Su Changfeng, Han Xue is like this and yet still no sign of you, if I see you later, watch how I’ll deal with you!" Lin Qingmeng said bitterly.

At this point, there was a knock on the door; an assistant came in holding a thick pile of documents, saying to Lin Qingmeng, "President Lin, these are all documents that need signatures."

"Not now, just leave them here." Lin Qingmeng waved her hand; currently, all company affairs were entrusted to her, and usually there wasn’t much happening.

Keep in mind, Han Xue was the owner of the group, generally nobody would dare stir up trouble; so Lin Qingmeng had little to manage, just overseeing things was sufficient.

After placing the documents down, just as she was about to leave, Lin Qingmeng suddenly spoke, "Feifei, are you free tonight?"

Wang Feifei seemed surprised by the sudden question, taking a moment before she reacted, answering, "President Lin, do you have any instructions?"

"I agreed to have dinner with someone tonight, but I’m in no mood to go, so I need you to help me handle it." Lin Qingmeng said.

Wang Feifei was instantly flustered; Lin Qingmeng was referring to a date, and it wasn’t something she could casually handle.

"President Lin, this... isn’t appropriate, right? After all, it’s your date, what’s the reasoning for me to go?" Wang Feifei said uneasily.

"No worries, it’s a free good meal that not everyone can have; alright, you must go tonight!" Lin Qingmeng decided right then, giving Wang Feifei no chance to refuse.

Wang Feifei forced a bitter smile; she had never encountered such a situation, it was frankly too absurd, dealing with the boss’s date, would the other party really have no objections?

Hesitating, Wang Feifei asked, "President Lin, do you know about Han Xue’s situation?"

Lin Qingmeng seemed puzzled; the rumors regarding Han Xue had already been clarified, why would Wang Feifei suddenly ask about her?

"Why are you asking about her? Curious?" Wang Feifei probed.

"I... know Su Changfeng," Wang Feifei explained softly.

Lin Qingmeng’s eyes widened; Su Changfeng knew Wang Feifei too? Perhaps they had some secret relationship?

"You know Su Changfeng? What’s the situation? What’s your relationship?" Lin Qingmeng asked.

"Back then he rented an apartment nearby, we were neighbors, as for why he lived there, I don’t know, I was just a bit concerned so I asked one question." Wang Feifei said.

Lin Qingmeng naturally knew why Su Changfeng rented a place; during the time he pseudo-divorced Han Xue, he moved out of the villa.

But she hadn’t known Wang Feifei and Su Changfeng were neighbors; this detail was curious to Lin Qingmeng. Wang Feifei was a pretty good gal, not knowing if she and Su Changfeng had anything else.

Being straightforward by nature, Lin Qingmeng asked out of curiosity, "Do you two have any other relationship?"

Wang Feifei quickly shook her head, "President Lin, don’t get the wrong idea, we truly have no other relationship, honestly!"

Lin Qingmeng observed Wang Feifei’s nervous reaction and couldn’t help but furrow her brow; if there truly was nothing, why was Wang Feifei so flustered?

Moreover, if she wasn’t mistaken, a hint of guilt flashed in Wang Feifei’s eyes.

"Really? If there’s truly nothing, why are you nervous?" Lin Qingmeng suddenly stood up, walking straight to Wang Feifei, locking her gaze firmly on Wang Feifei.

Wang Feifei couldn’t help but step back, lacking the courage to meet Lin Qingmeng’s stare; though truly having no special relationship, during that period she did fancy Su Changfeng.

Originally planning to confess, then discovered Su Changfeng’s true identity.

"I, I..." Wang Feifei stammered, wanting to explain.

Seeing her hesitant, Lin Qingmeng urged, "What’s wrong? Speak up!"

"I, I used to like him." Wang Feifei steeled herself, revealing her feelings.

Lin Qingmeng was somewhat helpless, also feeling sentimental; perhaps Su Changfeng had saved the Milky Way in a past life so many girls liked him now.

Previously when he was the joke of Jiang City, Han Xue had bit by bit realized her feelings; frankly, even she and Yue Qingshan had some fondness for him; Wang Feifei having been his neighbor for a period, unexpectedly also developed such feelings. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Could Su Changfeng have some unique charm? Otherwise, why would women who come into contact with him invariably be attracted?

"Just liking, truly nothing happened?" Lin Qingmeng understood Su Changfeng’s character, even if a beauty like Yue Qingshan initiated, he’d remain clear-minded, naturally he wouldn’t have done anything with Wang Feifei.

Her reason for asking was merely to see if Su Changfeng’s heart matched his actions.

"Nothing, President Lin, I swear." Wang Feifei pledged.

Lin Qingmeng nodded, not making things difficult for her anymore, "Don’t be nervous, I was just asking; I know he can’t possibly like you."
