When Xu Anran arrived at the bar, Fu Yanci was already drunk and unconscious, fast asleep.

Shen He stood to the side, holding a wine glass in his hand, swaying casually to the music.

He saw Xu Anran in the crowd, waved, and acted arrogantly.

Xu Anran stepped forward. "What happened?"

Shen He took a sip of the whiskey in his glass. "What else could it be? He's heartbroken!"

He called me out for drinks late at night, but when I asked him anything, he wouldn't say anything, just kept drinking in silence. When he got drunk, he started muttering about why Wen Qingruan didn't want him!

At this point, Shen He looked up, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Xu Anran with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Tell me, where exactly are you inferior to Wen Qingruan?

Speaking of family background, even though your parents are like that, you are still a member of the Xu family and have the title of the eldest daughter of the Xu family. Although you can't compare with the Fu family, you are still much better than Wen Qingruan.

What's more, you were the one who met Fu Yanci first!

Speaking of looks and figure...

Shen He looked Xu Anran up and down.

"It's definitely not quite there..."

Xu Anran said, embarrassed and annoyed.

"Shen He! You called me here just to humiliate me? To show me how infatuated he is with Wen Qingruan?"

After saying that, Xu Anran turned to leave.

Shen He lit a cigarette, biting the butt as he mumbled something.

"I'm not that bored!"

Xu Anran stopped and looked at Shen He.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Shen He raised his hand, holding the cigarette between two fingers, and lightly tapped it with his index finger, causing the ash to fall into the crystal ashtray.

He slightly raised his chin and exhaled a stream of blue mist towards Xu Anran.

"I'll give you... a chance to make Yanci take responsibility for you, do you want it?"

Xu Anran frowned, glanced at the drunken Fu Yanci beside her, and quickly understood Shen He's meaning.

"He won't let you and me off the hook if he finds out!"

Shen He raised his hand and waved his index finger in front of Xu Anran.

It's you, not me and you!

"I drank too much with Yanci, and you happened to run into us at the bar, so you took me home first. How would I know what happened between you two after that?"

Xu Anran nearly ground her teeth to powder. "You've managed to absolve yourself of all responsibility!"

Shen He shrugged.

"I just can't stand seeing Brother Yanci being played by that scumbag Wen Qingruan again and again."

To forget a woman, you either need time or another woman!

Five years have passed since Wen Qingruan left, but he still hasn't been able to let go!

We can only rely on women!

I'm giving you this opportunity because I've been clinging to Yanci for the past five years and you've been very good to Fubao!

Whether or not you do it is your decision.

Xu Anran certainly hoped that Fu Yanci would glance at her more.

But just as Shen He said, she had been by Fu Yanci's side for five years, but she still couldn't win his heart.

If she took advantage of him while he was drunk... she feared it would only make Fu Yanci completely despise her.

Seeing Xu Anran's conflicted and troubled expression, Shen He knew what she was worried about.

"Don't worry, if Brother Yanci really thinks he did something to you, he will definitely take responsibility for you."

He got up, picked up his coat from the sofa, hooked it with two fingers, casually draped it over his shoulder, and walked outside.

"The opportunity is in front of you; whether you seize it or not is up to you!"

He stopped beside Xu Anran, turned his head slightly, and his tone turned cold.

"If Yanci finds out what I've told you tonight..."

Shen He didn't say anything more, but the warning in his eyes sent a chill down Xu Anran's spine.

Shen He chuckled lightly and waved his hand casually, "Have fun!"

Xu Anran clenched her hands, staring at Shen He's back.

Why are you so concerned about Fu Yanci?

She suddenly asked.

"You don't actually like him, do you?"

One sentence nearly made Shen He stumble and fall.

After regaining his balance, Shen He turned around and glared at Xu Anran.

"That thing you're wearing around your neck is neither good-looking nor functional! If it's really that bad, just donate it!"

After saying that, Shen He strode away from the bar.

Xu Anran looked at the man sleeping on the sofa, called a waiter, and pulled him into her car.

She got into the driver's seat, slowly started the car, and drove towards her residence.

In the dead of night in Kyoto, there were not many cars on the road. Thinking about what she was going to do, Xu Anran's hands were trembling with nervousness.

At the traffic light intersection, she stopped the car and looked at the man in the passenger seat.

No one knew that she had fallen in love with this man even earlier than Wen Qingruan.

At that time, she was too weak and timid, and felt that she was not good enough for him.

She could only bury that budding love deep in her heart.

Until her only friend in her life, Wen Qingruan, blushed and said that Professor Fu from the Physics Department had confessed his love to her and that they were together.

No one knew that when she smiled and congratulated him, her heart was actually bleeding.

She hated her own weakness for letting such an outstanding man like Fu Yanci go to someone else.

Later, Wen Qingruan and Fu Yanci got married and had children. She watched all the way with envy.

But Wen Qingruan didn't cherish it!

She actually abandoned Fu Yanci and the child, and just vanished into thin air!

When Xu Anran saw Fu Yanci, who was once noble and elegant, seemingly untouched by worldly affairs, become disheveled and dejected, drunk on a rainy night, kneeling in the rain and crying out...

She hates Wen Qingruan!

She hated Wen Qingruan for getting what she wanted but not cherishing it!

Later, she took the opportunity of taking care of Fu Bao to get closer to Fu Yanci.

She even tried to force herself to be cheerful and bright, just like Wen Qingruan.

She thought that this would make Fu Yanci fall in love with her.

She went to work abroad because she accidentally discovered that Fu Yanci seemed to really like ballet, and he would take Fu Bao to see ballet performances every time.

Xu Anran believed that as long as she continued to dance ballet, sooner or later Fu Yanci would be able to see her.

Despite all she did, Fu Yanci still wouldn't even glance at her!

Xu Anran believed that Fu Yanci had been heartbroken by Wen Qingruan!

She thought that, after all, there were no other women around Fu Yanci.

And since she is so close to Fu Bao, one day, even if it's just for Fu Bao's sake, Fu Yanci will accept her.

But as she waited and waited, she received news that Wen Qingruan had suddenly returned.

She never imagined that the proud Fu Yanci would actually love Wen Qingruan!

Wen Qingruan even has another man's child!

He actually got drunk because of that woman!

In what way does she fall short of Wen Qingruan?

Why did Fu Yanci immediately distance himself from Wen Qingruan as soon as she returned?

Her grip on the steering wheel tightened slowly, as jealousy gradually eroded Xu Anran's rationality.

She remembered Shen He's suggestion.

If she really had a relationship with Fu Yanci, would Fu Yanci fall in love with her...?

The night was peaceful.

Xu Anran looked at the man beside her; that face had appeared in her dreams countless times.

On those lonely and unbearable nights, she dreamed of being intimate with this man countless times.

Every time I wake up, I am filled with immense emptiness.

Now, this man is right in front of me.

If she's brave enough, if she takes that step, she has a chance to become the happiest woman in the world...
