Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Fearing that Ling Jieyu might renege on his promise, Mu Tiantian used reverse psychology to warn him, "You said you'd do what you said you'd do. If you can't, you're not a man..."

Following Ling Jieyu's gaze, he saw a tall woman approaching. Although she was wearing a simple sweater and jeans, her demeanor suggested she was no ordinary person.

Such a simple outfit, yet it exudes a high-end fashion sense.

Those long, straight legs looked to be at least 1.7 meters tall.

She looks so tall even wearing flat white sneakers.

Wearing a knitted hat that covered her ears, her long black hair fell to both sides, and her chin looked like an egg.

A certain kind of charisma is something that not everyone possesses.

The clothes are very common, but on this person, they have a unique, high-class artistic feel.

Before the other person could reach Ling Jieyu, she quickly whispered in his ear, "I will help you get rid of your ex-ex-ex-girlfriend. Just remember what you promised me, and that's how we can work together smoothly."

She felt a little dizzy after being outside for so long and wanted to go back to lie down.

She stood up and said to Ling Jieyu naturally, "Ayu, I want to go back to my ward to sleep."

Ling Jieyu naturally helped her up, "Okay, let's go back then."

Xia Guiying and Qin Dongyang were both surprised by Mu Tiantian's change in attitude.

The seats were a little distance apart, and the two of them were whispering something to each other.

They were naturally happy to see such a harmonious scene, but looking at Du Lijuan who was walking closer and standing to one side, the two could guess what was going on.

The two men stared at Du Lijuan, concluding that she must be A Yu's ex-girlfriend.

Then his gaze shifted to Ling Jieyu's face, and he narrowed his eyes in tacit agreement, wanting to see how Ling Jieyu would handle his relationship with his ex-girlfriend.

Grandpa Qin stopped listening to the song and turned to look at Du Lijuan with curiosity and doubt.

Du Lijuan felt a little embarrassed being watched by several people.

But since we're already here, we have to ask clearly, no matter how awkward it is.

After Ling Jieyu helped Mu Tiantian out to the middle passage, she stood in front of them, blocking their way. Her gaze swept back and forth between Mu Tiantian and Ling Jieyu's faces, and she felt that the scene was too jarring, making her heart ache.

"Ayu, I have something I want to talk to you about. Can we talk alone?" she said, breaking the awkward silence.

"Just say what you have to say here. I'm afraid my girlfriend will be unhappy if we talk alone!" Ling Jieyu said, changing his supporting gesture to putting his arm around Mu Tiantian's waist.

Mu Tiantian almost couldn't hold back and shook him off on the spot.

I forgot to warn you about this earlier: don't touch me without permission.

Since Ling Jieyu liked to hold her like that, her sense of morality kicked in, and she felt a sense of guilt for letting Fu Zhengting down.

On set, they had to cooperate with Ling Jieyu in their acting; they couldn't just break away, or they would give themselves away.

She suppressed her discomfort, put on a charming smile to cover her awkwardness, and her eyes held a hint of warning.

Ling Jieyu understood it, but pretended not to.

Since I agreed to play lovers with him, I naturally have to act convincingly.

Qin Dongyang, Xia Guiying, and Old Master Qin couldn't help but chuckle when they saw that Mu Tiantian hadn't broken free.

Du Lijuan felt a little embarrassed, realizing that Ling Jieyu was deliberately trying to discourage her.

She and Ling Jieyu have one thing in common: they are both born rebellious.

Even if others don't approve, she's determined to show them her happiness.

When she first got together with Ling Jieyu, many media outlets predicted her downfall, saying that Ling Jieyu would dump her within six months.

Sure enough, in the fifth month, Ling Jieyu broke up with her. When she pressed him for the reason, he said it was because there was no passion.

She considers herself an open-minded person and tried her best to be a considerate girlfriend during their relationship.

But she still got dumped.

So she was very unwilling.

She wanted to ask Ling Jieyu what was so good about his current girlfriend compared to her.

She looks short and fat, which doesn't suit him at all.

Ling Jieyu seemed to read her mind. Before she could speak, he added, "She was the most compatible girlfriend I've ever had, and she will be my last."

Ling Jieyu waited until the accompaniment melody finished playing before speaking.

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Gossipy and curious glances once again fell on him and Mu Tiantian.

I'm feeling a bit unwell. I only wrote a little over a thousand words out of the four thousand-word chapter. I'll make up the four thousand words tomorrow.
