Mr. Liang, you mustn't covet other people's fiancées!

I don't know how much time passed.

Jiang You walked towards Wen Li, took her hand, and then smiled slightly at Liang Chaoxu and He Yanxi, his smile both polite and considerate.

"Brother Chaoxu, Sister Yanxi, let's go back to the private room first."

Liang Chaoxu looked down at Jiang You and Wen Li's tightly clasped hands, his eyes deep and dark.

"Okay." He Yanxi nodded with a smile, glancing at Liang Chaoxu out of the corner of her eye, and instantly realized that he was about to snatch her away.

Without thinking twice, He Yanxi hurriedly went over and took Liang Chaoxu's arm: "Chaoxu, let's go back to the private room too."

Never mind, I'll try anything, even if it's a long shot. As long as Liang Chaoxu and Jiang You don't fight here tonight and ruin my plans, that's fine.

Thinking this, He Yanxi turned her head to look at Wen Li's reaction.

The two stared at each other unexpectedly.

Wen Li immediately looked away, blinking rapidly, feeling extremely guilty.

Even though her night with Liang Chaoxu at the villa was an accident, she still felt guilty.

If He Yanxi were to truly pursue the matter as Liang Chaoxu's fiancée, she would simply be unable to offer a defense with a clear conscience.

He Yanxi looked at Wen Li and secretly admired her strong mental fortitude. Jiang You had caught her red-handed, yet she could still act as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go, Wen Li." Jiang You squeezed Wen Li's hand and led her away first.

Seeing the two enter the private room, He Yanxi released Liang Chaoxu's arm, patted her chest, and calmed her pounding heart.

"If you ask me, Wen Li is already Jiang You's girlfriend. Why do you still want to get entangled with her? Don't let this make things look bad for both the Jiang and Liang families."

Liang Chaoxu glanced at He Yanxi, his eyes cold: "She and Jiang You are just schoolmates, not boyfriend and girlfriend."

He Yanxi was taken aback: "They're alumni? Then what about you and Wen Li?"

Liang Chaoxu withdrew his gaze and looked directly at Jiang You's private room, his voice carrying the chill of wind and snow: "I like her, but she doesn't know."

He Yanxi froze on the spot.

Not only did I misunderstand Wen Li, but I also just made things worse!

"How about... I go and explain to Wen Li?" He Yanxi asked Liang Chaoxu for his opinion.

Liang Chaoxu strode towards the He family's private room without turning his head: "No need."

I'll talk to her myself.

In the other private room, Tian Miao looked at the two people who seemed preoccupied after going out and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Just as she was about to ask Wen Li, Jiang You stood up and put on his coat, saying, "Have you finished eating? If you have, I'll take you home."

Wen Li nodded absentmindedly and stood up as well: "Let's go."

Tian Miao quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth and left the private room with the two of them.

Jiang You deliberately took Tian Miao home first before driving to Guanghua Lane where Wen Li lived.

The two remained silent throughout the journey, and the entire carriage was eerily quiet.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Guanghuali residential area, Wen Li thanked them and then got out of the car.

"Wen Li." Jiang You got out of the car and grabbed Wen Li's arm at the pedestrian entrance. "You really didn't register your marriage with your fiancé?"

"No." Wen Li frowned at him. "But why are you asking this, senior? Is it something I need to fill out again...?"

Before Wen Li could finish speaking, Jiang You suddenly pulled her into his arms, his voice brimming with undisguised joy: "Wen Li, please consider me."

Wen Li froze completely: "...What?"

"I like you." Jiang You raised his arm and held Wen Li's head, pulling her tightly into his arms. "I've liked you since the day I met you, Wen Li."

Wen Li's lower back was throbbing with pain from Jiang You's grip. She snapped back to her senses, pushed him away forcefully, and spoke in an unusually calm tone.

"Thank you for your interest, senior. But you don't need to waste your time on me. I have no plans to date right now, nor do I intend to get married in the future."

Jiang You was clearly stunned for a moment. After realizing what had happened, he thought that he had startled Wen Li by being too sudden.

So he quickly took a step back, smiling broadly, "It's okay, I can wait, as long as it takes."

Wen Li looked up at Jiang You, just as a car drove out of the residential area. The glaring headlights shone from behind him, making it impossible for her to see his expression. She only heard a resounding sentence.

"Until the day you're willing."

Wen Li lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "I'm going back now. Please drive carefully, senior."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Li turned and left.

Jiang You raised his hand and waved at her retreating figure: "Wen Li, I will always wait for you."

Wen Li kept walking forward without looking back.

Not far from the entrance of the residential area, a black Maybach was parked on the side of the road with its engine off.

Liang Chaoxu rested his hand on the steering wheel, his long, slender fingers tapping lightly on the center logo. His eyes, fixed on Jiang You, held a chilling coldness.

After Jiang You left, Liang Chaoxu started the car and drove directly into Guanghua Lane.

Wen Li changed into her home clothes, tied her hair up, and was about to go wash up when she heard a knock on the door.

Wen Li walked over and opened the door, her brows furrowing instantly. She gripped the doorknob and asked, "Mr. Liang, is there something you need?"

"I've come to bring you your medicine." Liang Chaoxu raised his hand and shook the ointment in his hand.

Wen Li paused for a moment, then made a move to close the door: "Thank you, Mr. Liang, but I already have the medicine at home."

"I have something else to tell you," Liang Chaoxu said, blocking the doorway.

The cool air from the corridor seeped into the room. Wen Li hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let Liang Chaoxu in: "Come in and let's talk."

Liang Chaoxu walked into the room and, without saying a word, bent down to look at Wen Li's face: "Are you dizzy?"

Faced with Liang Chaoxu's sudden approach, Wen Li subconsciously took a step back, then turned and walked towards the washroom: "I'm not dizzy. Mr. Liang, what's the matter? Please tell me quickly, I need to wash up and rest."

"Is this the first time Zheng Ying has contacted you since you came back from Sydney?" Liang Chaoxu followed him to the washroom and stood at the door to ask, "Has your father... Wen Chenghua come to see you?"

"It's the first time Wen Chenghua hasn't contacted me." Wen Li wet a washcloth and wiped her face in front of the mirror. She accidentally touched the slap mark and hissed in pain.

"I'll do it," Liang Chaoxu said, reaching out to take the washcloth from Wen Li's hand, wanting to help her wipe her face.

Wen Li stepped aside, her expression cool and aloof: "No need."

Liang Chaoxu's hand froze in mid-air, his fingers curling helplessly before he reluctantly lowered it: "Did Song Yu bother you again today?"

"No." Wen Li threw the washcloth into the trash can, stepped aside from Liang Chaoxu, and walked out of the washroom. "Senior Jiang You had security escort him away."

Liang Chaoxu then turned and followed Wen Li to the dining table, watching her pour water: "I'll pick you up after get off work from now on."

Wen Li stopped what she was doing, placed the water glass on the table, looked up at him, and said calmly, "No need. Has Mr. Liang finished speaking?"

Liang Chaoxu looked back at Wen Li and said, "I'll leave after I apply the medicine for you."

Wen Liping said, "Liang Chaoxu, I am an adult and I am fully capable of taking care of myself."

"I know." Liang Chaoxu ignored the hint that Wen Li was trying to get rid of him, and went to the washroom to wash his hands. When he came back, he started peeling off the ointment himself.

"It's your business if you're capable of taking care of yourself, and it's my business if I choose to take care of you. We won't interfere with each other."

Wen Li brushed away his outstretched hand holding the medicine, her brows furrowed: "Liang Chaoxu, one should have morals."

Because she had been betrayed by her fiancé, Wen Li knew all too well the pain that came with it.

Liang Chaoxu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Wen Li closed her eyes briefly, composed herself, and then spoke again: "As Miss He's fiancé, you should have the right moral compass and not do anything to betray Miss He."

Liang Chaoxu lowered his head and kissed Wen Li's lips, a smile playing on his lips: "Is it something like that?"

As if struck by lightning, Wen Li froze on the spot.

Liang Chaoxu grinned mischievously and kissed him again: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
