“Hehe, hubby, you said it yourself!”

Hearing the response she wanted, Shen Wanwan grinned slyly at Ji Jinxian, looking as cute as a cat who had just stolen a fish. Ji Jinxian chuckled at her mischievous expression and asked, teasingly, “So have you figured out how to punish me yet?”

“Not yet,” Shen Wanwan shook her head and continued to gaze at Ji Jinxian’s profile. “I’ll let you know once I’ve decided.”

Ji Jinxian’s lips curved into a smile as he watched Shen Wanwan’s excited expression. “Alright, I’ll be waiting,” he said, indulgently.

By the time they arrived back home, it was already late. After quickly washing up, they lay on the bed and fell asleep. Compared to their good mood, on the other side of the city, two other people were probably wide awake.

“Luo Yan, thank you so much. If it weren’t you, I don’t know what would have happened to me.”

An Ling’er, who had just been walked out from the police station, looked at Luo Yan with gratitude. If Luo Yan hadn’t appeared, she would have made the headlines and her career would have been ruined.

Thinking about this, An Ling’er wanted to strangle Shen Wanwan. Her twisted expression was visible under the light, and Luo Yan gazed deeply at her as she did.

After a long time, he sighed heavily. “Ling’er, let me send you home.” As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yan reached out and opened the car door.

“Thank you, Luo Yan.”

An Ling’er thanked him with a smile before turning around to sit in the car. The door was closed, and Luo Yan looked at the pitch-black window in front of him, his mind was in turmoil.

He went around and sat in the driver’s seat. He buckled his seatbelt and started the car, driving towards An Ling’er’s house. They both remained silent throughout the entire way.

In the past, Luo Yan would have been racking his brain to find a topic to talk about, but this time he remained serious and focused on driving. Only he knew how much his heart was in disarray.

Ji Jinxian was right. It was time for him to let go of An Ling’er and consider starting a relationship with another. He had protected An Ling’er for so many years. If they were meant to be together, they would have done so a long time ago.

Why waited until now?

If they were still not together, it meant that fate had not brought them together, and there was no point in forcing anything.

The car stopped in front of the An family mansion. An Ling’er unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of the car. She turned around and wanted to leave, but before she could take two steps, she was stopped by Luo Yan’s voice.

“Ling’er.”

“What’s wrong, Luo Yan?” An Ling’er stopped in her tracks with a puzzled expression. She turned around and coincidentally met Luo Yan’s unflinching gaze. In an instant, she felt her heart skip a beat.

But she couldn’t understand why she was so nervous, so she simply stared back at Luo Yan.

“I have something to tell you.”

Luo Yan sighed as he slowly approached An Ling’er. The chilly breeze gently blew his hair, making his thoughts clear. He had thought it over and finally decided to let go.

“Luo Yan, why are you suddenly so serious?” An Ling’er was a little flustered, but she forced a smile and tried to change the topic.

“The moon is really round tonight…”

Her attempt to change the topic was feeble. Luo Yan didn’t give her a chance to speak. He said what he had been thinking all along.

“Ling’er, if there’s nothing else, let’s not keep in touch. I have promised my parents that I will go on a blind date. Take care of yourself, and I wish you happiness in the future.”

Before Luo Yan could finish, An Ling’er interrupted him. “Luo Yan, what are you talking about? You must be joking, right?”

An Ling’er could not believe it. Didn’t Luo Yan like her? Why would he agree to that bulls*it blind date?

“I’m serious. Ling’er, since you have someone you like, I should quit. I wish you happiness in the future.”

After speaking, Luo Yan didn’t give An Ling’er a chance to react and turned to leave. Seeing Luo Yan’s resolute back, An Ling’er panicked.

“Luo Yan, wait for me. How could you do this to me?”

An Ling’er wanted to chase after Luo Yan, but Luo Yan seemed to be afraid that he would change his mind, so he got into the car and drove away.

All that was left for An Ling’er was the car’s exhaust. Looking at the disappearing car, she began to cry.

She took out her phone and called Luo Yan again and again. The call went through, but there was no answer.

An Ling’er didn’t give up, and she kept calling Luo Yan’s number. As Luo Yan was driving, he heard a ringtone that was unique to An Ling’er and laughed at himself.

In the past, he had hoped that An Ling’er would take the initiative to call him, but she never did. An Ling’er didn’t need him in her world.

Perhaps An Ling’er only treated him as a backup plan, but Luo Yan used to think being a backup was nothing.

As long as An Ling’er liked him, even if he had to be a second choice, it was okay. However, tonight, he suddenly realized something.

Maybe he was disappointed by the way An Ling’er looked at Ji Jinxian. He had never seen that kind of look before.

Perhaps it was because of that infatuated look in her eyes that he finally realized something. Luo Yan gritted his teeth and stopped the car. He reached out to take out his phone and turned off his phone.

The shutdown animation lit up until it went dark. Luo Yan threw his phone aside and drove to the bar he often went to.

From now on, he didn’t want to be a bootlicker anymore. If he was a bootlicker, he would end up with nothing.

There were millions of women in the world, and he could live without her.

Having made up his mind, Luo Yan no longer paid any attention to An Ling’er. On the other side, An Ling’er stood at her doorstep, holding her phone and crying her heart out as she frantically made phone calls.

“Hello, the number you have dialed is turned off. Please try again later…”

The notification from the phone caused An Ling’er to break down.

At this moment, she finally understood why she had panicked when she looked at Luo Yan. She realized that she had perhaps lost the man who had always treated her the best.

Luo Yan’s smile floated in her mind. It dawned on her that despite knowing each other for so long, Luo Yan had always accommodated her unconditionally.

Only when she was heartbroken by Ji Jinxian so she would go to Luoyan and complain to him. Luo Yan was always there to console her with his gentle words.

But now, she had lost the person who could comfort her gently. She might never be able to find him again.

An Ling’er panicked. She didn’t know where Luo Yan would have gone. Her understanding of Luo Yan was too little. Even though Luo Yan would always tell her if he had something to say, but she would either ignore it or forget it.

Now, if she wanted to find him, she didn’t even know where to find him. However, no one would feel sorry for someone who was not conscience.

The sky gradually turned from dark to bright. Shen Wanwan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by her manager’s frantic and relentless calls.

“Wanwan, get up quickly. I’ll be at your house in five minutes. We have to join the filming today, don’t forget!”

She turned over in a daze, letting her manager’s voice echo around the quiet bedroom. Not hearing a response, Lin Ze furrowed his brows.

“Little girl, are you listening? Did you fall asleep again?”

Lin Ze was helpless. If it were any other artiste, Lin Ze would give them a lesson.

However, Shen Wanwan was different. She was CEO Ji’s wife, and he did not dare to teach her a lesson!

Since Lin Ze could not scold or hit her, he had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.
