Chapter 91 Contraception is a lifelong matter (h)

After a hearty meal, it was time to do naughty things. Yan Yu carried Cheng Xiaoyu upstairs into the bedroom. The dimly lit
bedside lamp was turned on, and then Yan Yu began to caress and kiss her,
calling her "little ostrich," "little baby," and "little ancestor." Soon, Cheng Xiaoyu was stripped naked and rolled around on the bed like a pure little white lamb.

Yan Yu knew Cheng Xiaoyu so well that he could arouse her desire within ten minutes with his eyes closed. In no
time , Cheng Xiaoyu became obedient. Yan Yu sat on the bed with his legs open, and Cheng Xiaoyu leaned softly against him
, her face flushed and humming. Yan Yu's two fingers slowly and steadily inserted into the tender little crevice between her legs,
gradually bringing out a lot of silvery liquid, and a faint, sweet fragrance filled the air.

Yan Yu nibbled on Cheng Xiaoyu's earlobe and said, "Baby, let's try something new today."

Cheng Xiaoyu squinted and hummed, it was unclear whether she heard him or not. Yan Yu put his arm around Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder and helped her lean against the headboard. He took out a small black plastic bag

from the bedside table, tore it open, and took out a thin, film-like object. At first, Cheng Xiaoyu thought he was taking out a condom and wondered why Yan Yu would be willing to use one now. But upon closer inspection, she realized that although the object looked somewhat like a condom, it was larger and had a plastic ring on each side. Yan Yu put his fingertip into the smaller ring from the larger ring side. The smaller ring was closed, unlike the larger ring which was hollow. Cheng Xiaoyu asked curiously, "What is this?" "A female condom." "How come there are such things?" "I've never used one before, I heard about it from Wen Si." "Why would Brother Wen Si give you something like this? Yan Yu, you actually discussed our relationship with him?!" "I didn't," Yan Yu protested. "That day, Wen Si said he wanted to discuss which condom felt best . I told him I didn't like wearing condoms at all, I'd only put one on before ejaculation. Wen Si said he usually puts one on from the start for safety, and that if I really didn't like wearing them, I could try female condoms, maybe they'd suit my taste better." Cheng Xiaoyu squatted on the bed, looking closely at the novel thing. "What's the working principle of this thing?" Yan Yu picked up the instruction manual and read, "XX brand female condoms are made of high-grade transparent polyurethane plastic , soft and tough. The plastic ring at the closed end is used to fix the condom to the cervix, and the outer ring is always placed outside the vaginal opening to prevent direct contact between the male and female genitalia, making it more effective than male condoms in preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. The inside of the condom is coated with an inert lubricant that is harmless to sperm, compared to male condoms..." " This product is thinner , so men can enjoy greater pleasure when using it." Yan Yu put down the instruction manual. "Sounds pretty good, little ostrich, shall we try it?" Cheng Xiaoyu snorted, "So it's 'men' who can enjoy greater pleasure, what's in it for me?" Yan Yu laughed and threw the condom aside. "Then we don't need it. Anyway, even if it fits the shape of the vagina, it's definitely not as comfortable as it sticking directly to the flesh." Cheng Xiaoyu was embarrassed by what he said, covered Yan Yu's mouth and pushed him down on the bed. She picked up the condom and examined it from all angles. "It's supposed to be put on the cervix, it's so deep, how do we put it on? And what if we can't pull it off?" Yan Yu flipped her over and pinned her back down. "We'll find out when we try." He bent Cheng Xiaoyu's legs and put the condom on his index finger, slowly pushing it into her vagina. Cheng Xiaoyu was actually quite interested in these novelties, so she obediently cooperated with Yan Yu's movements as he put it on. Yan Yu found this position difficult, so he had Cheng Xiaoyu kneel on the bed and push her in from behind, asking as he did so, "Is it inside?" Cheng Xiaoyu wiggled her pink peach-like buttocks. "I can't feel anything." Yan Yu tried pulling it out a bit, and the condom came out a few centimeters. Yan Yu frowned and said, "It's not secure. This thing is really troublesome." He then reached in and fiddled with it for a while before smoothing out the outer ring. "This should be enough now." Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and said, "What does it look like? Still can't feel anything." Yan Yu took his phone from the bedside table, took a picture, and handed it to Cheng Xiaoyu. Cheng Xiaoyu took it and saw that the picture showed a transparent . The pink slit was faintly visible under the ring, looking somewhat strange yet sexy. Cheng Xiaoyu deleted the photo, covered her mouth, and laughed without saying a word. Yan Yu said, "Baby, I'm going in." He then thrust his hard glans into the center of the ring. Cheng Xiaoyu wiggled her cute little bottom, "Don't go in yet, it'll hurt a little." Yan Yu leaned down and kissed Cheng Xiaoyu's snow-white back, one hand kneading her delicate breasts while the other found her small clitoris beneath her sparse downy hair, gently teasing and twisting it. His hard glans gently bumped between her legs, slowly pushing inward. Because it was too tight, it wasn't easy to get in right away, but Yan Yu wasn't in a hurry. He just kneaded her and slowly pushed in , finally burying his entire large penis inside. Because there was lubricant in the condom, Yan Yu's movements weren't too difficult, but Cheng Xiaoyu wasn't very cooperative, always frowning and asking him to be gentler. Yan Yu thought for a moment and understood what was going on. His size was much larger than Cheng Xiaoyu's, and if there were some vaginal lubrication, it would be fine. However, this condom directly sucked onto the clitoris, which was extremely safe, but the amount of vaginal lubrication that seeped out was far too little. Even when Yan Yu moved around like this, he felt that the chemical lubricant couldn't compare to the smooth and sweet juice secreted by Cheng Xiaoyu. It was just that it was thinner than a regular condom, so the suction and wrapping was still quite comfortable. Cheng Xiaoyu was kneeling on the bed, being jolted by Yan Yu's thrusts. She picked up the instruction manual on the bed and tilted her head to read it. After reading for a while, she read aloud, "This product can be inserted beforehand. It can be inserted into . It is especially suitable for those who have difficulty maintaining an erection." After reading it, she chuckled. Yan Yu thrust hard into her little hole. "What are you saying, 'Erect but not firm,' huh?" Cheng Xiaoyu twisted her pink little bottom and said, "Be gentle, it hurts. But I only said it, I didn't say it was you." Yan Yu refused to slow down, thrusting in and out even faster. Cheng Xiaoyu was annoyed and tried to crawl away on all fours, but Yan Yu held onto her little bottom and wouldn't let go, saying as he thrust, "Silly girl, wearing this thing means I..."

"Taking it slow won't be very comfortable for you. Since that's the case, I might as well hurry up and arouse you so you won't cry out in pain
."

Cheng Xiaoyu said angrily, turning around and slapping Yan Yu's chest. "Who's being horny? You're so annoying!"

Yan Yu simply flipped her over, pushed her against the headboard, and continued to fuck her. Cheng Xiaoyu's legs were on his
shoulders, swaying back and forth with his thrusts, occasionally brushing against Yan Yu's cheeks.

Cheng Xiaoyu opened her red and tender mouth and gently bit a finger, her eyes watery as she watched
Yan Yu moving in and out in front of her. According to Cheng Xiaoyu's observation, Yan Yu's expression in bed was usually quite calm and restrained,
but after doing it many times, she realized that it was just a facade. His tight lips and heavy breathing were all
signs of his restraint. This man was essentially a wolf. If he didn't restrain himself, she felt that he might tear her apart and
devour her at any moment. He didn't show his passion very obviously, but if you looked closely into the depths of his eyes, you would
find that they were hot enough to melt a person. A man looking at her like that proves he truly loves her, right?
Cheng Xiaoyu bit her finger with her pearly white teeth, her playful little foot brushing against Yan Yu's cheek, pressing down on a bead of sweat on his forehead,
gently wiping it away with her toes.

Yan Yu grabbed her foot, "Why aren't you crying out in pain now?"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, "Because I love you, a little pain is nothing."

Yan Yu pinched her chin, "Sweet talk."

Cheng Xiaoyu lifted herself up, one arm around Yan Yu's neck, the other held to her face, saying, "I'm sincere,
I swear."

Yan Yu leaned in and kissed her, pressing her down on the bed to continue their deep and shallow communication. The large
bed with the Simmons mattress shook even more violently, Cheng Xiaoyu moaned softly, her delicate white fingers tracing the paint...
The restless finally gave way, and she slowly slid weakly onto the soft bed, where Yan Yu's large hand grasped her fingers,
swaying gently and seductively with the rhythm of their bodies…

Afterwards, Yan Yu removed the device from under Cheng Xiaoyu, examining it closely. He saw that the milky white
semen had gathered on the small ring, stretching its surface into an oval shape,
indicating . The condom was stained with Cheng Xiaoyu's vaginal fluid, which was now dripping down.
Having finished his examination, Yan Yu tied a knot in the condom and tossed it into the trash can beside the bed, then lay down, embracing Cheng Xiaoyu to rest.

Both satisfied in their desires and bellies, they lay comfortably in bed, chatting idly. Yan
Yu remarked that the things Wen Si recommended were terrible—troublesome and uncomfortable—and he wouldn't use them again.

Cheng Xiaoyu, wrapped in a blanket, rolled around on the bed, saying, "Super thin and breathable, I can move around as much as I want, feeling clean and refreshed every
day, happy and carefree!" Yan

Yu asked curiously, "What is that?"

Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled, "Sanitary napkins."

Yan Yu, "..."

After the halftime break, Yan Yu resumed his work, touching and fiddling with it for a while before taking out a syringe-like object from the bedside
table unscrewing the sealed cap, and revealing a tube of foam-like mousse inside.

Cheng Xiaoyu sat up and asked, "What's this again?"

Yan Yu said, "Invisible liquid condoms."

Cheng Xiaoyu, "..."

Yan Yu read from the instructions, "Liquid condoms are lubricants containing powerful bactericides and spermicides.
They have the property of quickly killing pathogenic bacteria and sperm in the vagina, with a safety rate of over 99.9%. This product
not only lubricates the vagina, but long-term use can also improve vaginal laxity."

Cheng Xiaoyu almost fainted, muttering, "Improve vaginal laxity... Did Brother Wen recommend this to
you?"

"That's right," Yan Yu nodded. "Wen Si is the most fashionable among us. You can't go wrong asking him about any new
gadgets ."

Cheng Xiaoyu picked up the small tube of white stuff and asked suspiciously, "There are no side effects, right?"

Yan Yu said, "No, it's something approved by the State Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. One before and one after.
It's said to be just as safe as a regular condom."

Cheng Xiaoyu was still a little skeptical, but Yan Yu insisted on trying it, saying that contraception is a lifelong matter and should not be taken lightly.
It requires a lot of exploration. In the end, he pushed a tube of ointment in and then asked Cheng Xiaoyu how she felt.

Cheng Xiaoyu frowned and said, "It feels... a little cold."

Yan Yu said, "Wait five minutes, and the medicine will take effect naturally."

Cheng Xiaoyu hugged her knees and waited for the medicine to take effect. As she waited, her face suddenly
turned red and white, an abnormal color. Yan Yu saw something was wrong and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Xiaoyu bit her lip and said, "It hurts inside...it hurts so much." As she spoke, she clutched her stomach and fell onto the bed,
her legs rubbing painfully, her whole body trembling slightly.

Yan Yu quickly pried open Cheng Xiaoyu's legs and inserted a finger to check. She saw a little
light-colored milky liquid on her fingertip, but nothing else. Yan Yu murmured, "This shouldn't be. I
bought this from a regular pharmacy, and it's the most expensive kind." Cheng Xiaoyu was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak, only
closing her while clutching her stomach.

Without thinking twice, Yan Yu immediately got out of bed, quickly put on his clothes, grabbed a bottle of liquid
birth control pills stuffed it in his pocket. He then helped Cheng Xiaoyu into a nightgown, wrapped her in a blanket, and carried her downstairs. Because they were in such a hurry,
Cheng Xiaoyu's head slammed against the doorframe as they went out.

Cheng Xiaoyu cried out and clutched her head. Yan Yu said, "Are you alright? Baby, we have to get to
the hospital ."

Cheng Xiaoyu mechanically repeated, "To the hospital..."

Yan Yu's house was on the third floor, but it was a duplex design, with each apartment having two floors, so the third floor
was practically the fifth floor. Yan Yu didn't even have time to wait for the elevator; he carried Cheng Xiaoyu down the stairs. He opened the garage
door, put Cheng Xiaoyu in the passenger seat, and then got in on the other side to start the car. As he reversed, he
noticed his hands on the steering wheel were ice-cold. Was that stuff really poisonous? If anything happened to Cheng Xiaoyu,
he'd smash that lousy pharmacy to pieces.

Chapter 92 Car Sex (H)

Cheng Xiaoyu's cold little hand tugged at his sleeve. "Yan Yu, it's so itchy, it hurts and itches."

Yan Yu said, "Bear with it, we'll be at the hospital in ten minutes."

Cheng Xiaoyu weakly shook Yan Yu's sleeve and said, "No, please check me first, it seems like I'm bleeding
, boohoo."

Yan Yu's heart skipped a beat in fright. He turned on the car's roof light, lifted Cheng Xiaoyu's skirt, and put one of her legs up on his...
He looked down at her shoulder, using the light to examine her closely. He saw that the narrow opening of her vulva was slightly red and swollen, and the two pitiful
little petals were opening and closing slightly. Yan Yu inserted a finger to probe, comforting her, "Baby,
don't be afraid, there's no bleeding."

Cheng Xiaoyu twisted her body and groaned, "But it's so itchy." Cheng Xiaoyu's tight, smooth vulva gripped his
finger tightly, and she cried out in a coquettish voice, "Yan Yu, it's so itchy, can you scratch it for me?"

Yan Yu's body stiffened, and he withdrew his finger from her vulva, looking up at her, "Cheng Xiaoyu, you
're playing me."

Cheng Xiaoyu leaned against the car window, laughing like a little rascal, her snow-white legs hooking seductively around Yan Yu's neck,
"You dare to use all sorts of weird stuff on me, I'll teach you a lesson."

Cheng Xiaoyu thought she was just joking, but Yan Yu's worries were absolutely true. He was
terrified , and he didn't have the composure to joke around with Cheng Xiaoyu. Yan Yu, his face cold, pulled Cheng Xiaoyu's leg off his
shoulder , cursed under his breath, and opened the car door to get out.

Seeing that Yan Yu was truly angry, Cheng Xiaoyu quickly pounced on him from behind, hugging his waist. "Okay, okay, I
went too far. Don't be angry. We've already applied the medicine, why don't we try it? It'd be a waste if we didn't."

Yan Yu snapped, "Try my ass! You scared me half to death!"

Cheng Xiaoyu giggled and reached under Yan Yu's belt buckle, poking him a few times through his pants. "Little fish, don't be afraid,
sister will comfort you."

Yan Yu yanked Cheng Xiaoyu's hand away and still tried to get out of the car. "You're the little fish, you
bastard!" Even if you're a fish, you're a big fish!

Cheng Xiaoyu lunged at Yan Yu again, trying to hug his neck, but the car was too small for the Queen Cheng to use her skills, and
her head slammed against the roof with a thud. Yan Yu, one foot already out of the car, quickly turned back and saw
Cheng Xiaoyu clutching her head, groaning. Yan Yu sighed and leaned over to rub her head.

Cheng Xiaoyu said with a mournful face, "I bumped my head twice today, one on my forehead and one on my head
. Why am I so unlucky?"

Yan Yu said, "Serves you right, you're just trying to fool me."

Cheng Xiaoyu grumbled, "Well, I've already received my due punishment, why are you still angry? Yan
Yu, do you want to have sex in the car? It must be really fun."

Yan Yu said, "Fun my ass."

Cheng Xiaoyu sniffed and moved closer to Yan Yu's face to examine him, "How do you know it's not fun? Have you
had sex with anyone?"

Yan Yu put his finger on Cheng Xiaoyu's forehead and pushed her face away, saying word by word, "I'm
getting out of the car , you can make a scene here by yourself."

Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled, "Get out of the car? Can you even get out?"

Only then did Yan Yu notice that Cheng Xiaoyu had already wrapped her arms and legs around him while he was rubbing her head
, like an octopus.

Cheng Xiaoyu rarely displayed such lewdness, and Yan Yu, in the end, naturally gave in half-heartedly. The car door slammed shut
, the headlights went off, and the seat reclined. Yan Yu, still uneasy, pressed the remote control against the garage door,
which slowly closed. The bright moonlight outside was completely blocked, plunging the garage into darkness.
Cheng Xiaoyu clung tightly to Yan Yu's neck, saying, "It's so dark, it feels so good."

Yan Yu spread Cheng Xiaoyu's legs and pressed them onto the car seat, then thrust into her wet slit.

Cheng Xiaoyu let out a soft moan.

Yan Yu, still unwilling to let her off easily, asked, "What are you moaning about?"

"Nothing," Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Little fish is mighty."

"Don't call my little fish 'Little Fish,' people will think I'm so small!"

Cheng Xiaoyu, realizing her flattery had backfired, quickly chuckled and tried to salvage the situation, "Brother Fish is mighty, Brother Fish is mighty."

Yan Yu sighed helplessly, "Cheng Xiaoyu, you're just a shameless little dog!"

Cheng Xiaoyu, "...Woof, woof."

Yan Yu couldn't hold back his laughter any longer, hugging his little ostrich tightly in the darkness, and thrusting it hard twice into Cheng Xiaoyu's soft, sticky little hole
. "I'm at my wit's end with you, Cheng Xiaoyu. Let me tell you straight, don't..." "
Jokes are fine, but joking about your own safety is absolutely unacceptable."

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, then realized that Yan Yu couldn't see her in the dark, and loudly promised
, "I'll never do that again."

Cheng Xiaoyu had only intended to tease Yan Yu on a whim, thinking that someone as smart as him
would see through her act quickly. However, she hadn't considered that even the smartest person can be blinded by concern. It wasn't until Yan Yu carried her to
the car that she realized she couldn't keep up the act any longer; otherwise, she'd end up in the hospital. Seeing that Yan Yu was genuinely angry, Cheng Xiaoyu
suddenly remembered how worried she had been when she thought something might have happened to Yan Yu and Ye Lan in Huangshan.
Feeling guilty, she was willing to humbly coax Yan Yu like this. However, based on her nearly one year of
experience with Yan Yu, Cheng Xiaoyu believed that as long as she was willing to back down, even the biggest problems could be solved. Cheng Xiaoyu even wondered if she
could just grab Yan Yu's sleeve and act cute if she accidentally burned down the house, and then pretend nothing
had happened .

Actually, making love in a car isn't very comfortable; the space is cramped and the air is stuffy. But men are creatures who crave novelty, and
Yan Yu became even more enthusiastic in the car, thrusting so hard that her pubic bone ached slightly. Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but complain,
"Can you be gentler? Are you trying to kill me?"

Yan Yu said, "Didn't you say it was itchy inside? How can I stop the itch if I don't poke around a bit?" As he spoke, he thrust hard against her
clitoris again.

Cheng Xiaoyu let out a soft moan from the impact. Yan Yu lowered his head and said, "Keep it down, or passersby will hear and think it's a cat
in heat."

Cheng Xiaoyu muttered, "It's summer, how can a cat be in heat?" She wrapped her arms around Yan Yu's neck,
kissed his lips, bit his tongue, and squeezed him tightly with her soft, tender passage.

The pitch-black darkness heightened Yan Yu's senses. He couldn't see anything, only
their panting and the sounds of flesh slapping together. He could only feel her soft, sweet tongue, her soft, full
breasts, her slender waist, and her delicate legs clinging tightly to his waist, her soft, tender flesh
enveloping . Yan Yu was deeply captivated. She was so delicate, so tender; it seemed as if any more force
would shatter her. But he couldn't care less; he only wanted to bury himself deep inside her.

Cheng Xiaoyu pleaded with him, her voice trembling with tears, begging him to be gentler. Yan Yu's hand slid down Cheng Xiaoyu's
cheek to her neck, then grasped that snow-white softness. His low breaths were incredibly clear in the darkness.
He said, "Little ostrich, I love you."

Cheng Xiaoyu's delicate private parts were stretched into a round "O" shape by Yan Yu's huge penis. He thrust into her sensitive spots,
into her clitoris, pounding into her like a pile driver. She kept begging for mercy, her body limp on the seat like a puddle of
water, dizzy from the waves of orgasm he brought her to, her nectar gushing out like a tide, soaking
a patch of the cushion. Cheng Xiaoyu's whole body convulsed uncontrollably, her vagina like a gentle little mouth sucking and wrapping, whispering the sweetest
love words to Yan Yu. Her vaginal fluid shot out in gushes, washing over the glans that was as ferocious as a hungry beast.
She soothed his restless heart. She opened her most secret place, letting Yan Yu deeply penetrate her pubic bone
, spraying his hot semen into the depths of her warm and soft uterus.

Yan Yu, dressed neatly, carried Cheng Xiaoyu, wrapped in a blanket, out of the garage. Bright moonlight shone on him;
the beastly transformation was over. He could clean himself up and, after a quick toothpick, transform back into the impeccably dressed young master Yan. Yan Yu
carried Cheng Xiaoyu upstairs in the elevator, then placed the exhausted little ostrich, whose eyes were barely open, into the bathtub.

The warm water around Cheng Xiaoyu brought her back to her senses. Opening her eyes,
she was Yan Yu entered with a glass of water. "Open your mouth."

Cheng Xiaoyu opened her mouth, and a white capsule was placed on her tongue. She took
the glass of water and took a sip. After a moment of stunned silence, she asked, "Why do I need to take a pill? Isn't this an invisible
liquid condom?"

Yan Yu also took off his clothes and got into the bathtub. "Silly girl, that stuff only sprays into your vagina. I
just ejaculated directly into your uterus. What good is it now?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said with a regretful "Oh." "It was a waste of spraying medicine."

Yan Yu laughed and pulled her into his arms, lathering her up with a bath sponge. "Little ostrich,
how was the car sex?"

Cheng Xiaoyu pouted. "No, it felt like a car accident. My whole body felt like it was falling apart. I never want to have car sex
again ."

Yan Yu laughed heartily, his chest vibrating with pleasure. He grabbed a handful of foam and kneaded her delicate white breasts,
gently licking her pink earlobe. "Little ostrich, you're so cute."

Chapter 93 A Fairytale Birthday

Cheng Xiaoyu's birthday was June 20th. That afternoon at four o'clock, Yan Yu took Cheng Xiaoyu home from work early.

Yan Yu drove towards the city center. Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Are we going to eat now? Isn't it a bit early?"

Yan Yu said, "No, let's go somewhere else."

"Where?"

Yan Yu smiled, "You'll know when we get there."

Yan Yu took Cheng Xiaoyu to a health and wellness center. The place looked small, but the interior
was exquisitely decorated. Cheng Xiaoyu sat on the sofa and waited for a while. Then Yan Yu came over and said to her, "Go
take a shower and ask them to do your makeup. Then we'll go eat."

Cheng Xiaoyu asked, "Why do I need to put on makeup?"

Yan Yu pinched her cheek, "Isn't today your birthday? Of course, you have to dress up nicely on your birthday."

Cheng Xiaoyu followed the pretty waitress in a daze. She took a quick shower and
came out wearing the center's white towel. A masseuse gave her a full-body spa treatment. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't recognize any of the
bottles and jars but they all smelled wonderful. The masseuse's hands were gentle yet firm, and
Cheng Xiaoyu almost fell asleep from the comfort.

After the spa treatment, Cheng Xiaoyu was led to a large dressing table. A
middle-aged came over to do her makeup. No woman doesn't enjoy the feeling of having her face gently touched. When she opened her eyes again,
the girl in the mirror had her hair elegantly styled up, leaving only two strands casually draped over her shoulders. Cheng Xiaoyu's skin
was already good, and with the powder, it was as white as fine porcelain. The light blush on her cheeks was so cute that you wanted to take a bite.
The delicate black eyeliner, the purple eyeshadow with a light pearlescent sheen, and the false eyelashes that looked like two small fans made her
eyes look big and bright. To put it bluntly, she was as beautiful as a movie star.

Before Cheng Xiaoyu could even finish admiring herself in the mirror, the woman who had done her makeup put down her fluffy brush and said,
"Ms. Cheng, your makeup is done. Mr. Yan has prepared an evening gown for you; you may change now."

A beautiful light pink, satin, off-the-shoulder, fitted evening gown hung on the dressing room wall,
quietly radiating a soft glow. Cheng Xiaoyu gently touched it; the fabric was soft and smooth,
like a gown every princess in a fairy tale would own. Cheng Xiaoyu carefully unzipped the back
and put it on. A shoebox lay on the floor, containing a pair of silver open-toe sandals. Although they had a slight heel
, Cheng Xiaoyu found them quite comfortable. Yan Yu must have known she couldn't wear very high heels, which was why he had specifically chosen
these. Cheng Xiaoyu felt a warm glow inside. She twirled around the dressing room, holding the gown, and then walked out somewhat shyly
. The woman who had done her makeup was still there, praising her beauty. Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and thanked her.

Yan Yu was waiting for her in the small garden outside the building. Cheng Xiaoyu lifted her skirt and walked down the steps step by step. The unique gentle atmosphere of
the summer night was filled with the sweet scent of grass and flowers. The small garden was as beautiful as a
scene from the Middle Ages. Cheng Xiaoyu's heart leaped with joy, but she couldn't. She was still wearing delicate
sandals . She had to walk gracefully towards her knight like a true princess. Her knight stood in the moonlight,
wearing a well-fitting black suit and a crisp white shirt. A faint smile played on his lips, and he stood there charmingly in the moonlight, one hand in
his pocket .

Cheng Xiaoyu stopped a few steps away from Yan Yu, put her hands behind her back, and swung her toes. What
should she do? She was a little embarrassed.

Yan Yu extended a hand to her. "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at Yan Yu, her face beaming with smiles. Suddenly, she ran over and threw herself into his arms, giggling. Yan Yu
stumbled back two steps as she lunged at him, then chuckled, wrapped his arms around her waist, and spun her around. Her pink skirt
billowed in the air like a flower; at that moment, the perfect moment was made in heaven.

Dim lighting, beautiful wine glasses, and a plate gleaming with a soft porcelain sheen—Cheng Xiaoyu and Yan Yu sat facing each
other in high-backed chairs. A handsome foreign waiter approached with a gleaming silver platter, opened
the semi-circular lid, said a few words in French, bowed, placed the dish down, and left.

Cheng Xiaoyu leaned over and whispered to Yan Yu, "What did he mean?" Cheng Xiaoyu hadn't initially tried to lower her voice.
They were used to speaking in hushed tones, but it was so quiet here. Apart from the rustling of cutlery, all conversations
were low and melodious, like whispers. It was as if everyone had instantly transformed into French gentlemen and ladies upon arriving
. Besides Yan Yu and Cheng Xiaoyu's table, there were seven other tables of people eating, three tables of foreigners and four
tables of Chinese. Everyone was impeccably dressed in formal attire. No wonder Yan Yu had asked her to wear this outfit. However,
Cheng Xiaoyu was quite happy to be here dressed so beautifully, pretending to be a lady.

Yan Yu said, "I don't know, I haven't studied French." He glanced at the food on the plate. "The waiter
probably said this dish is pan-fried foie gras, please enjoy."

Cheng Xiaoyu cut open the foie gras, forked a small piece, and carefully put it in her mouth. It tasted slightly fishy, but it was fragrant, tender, and melted
in her mouth . Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Each dish is so small, how many dishes do we have to eat before we're full?"

Yan Yu also ate a piece of foie gras and smiled slightly. "Silly girl, this is just an appetizer, the main course hasn't been served yet."

French food is really slow to eat. It took a full two hours for Cheng Xiaoyu to finally eat her beloved ice cream.
The red wine made her face flushed. She held the silver spoon and licked the ice cream spoonful by spoonful, looking as cute as
a playful kitten.

Yan Yu took a black velvet box out of his suit pocket and silently pushed it onto Cheng Xiaoyu's side from the tablecloth.
"Xiaoyu, happy birthday."

Cheng Xiaoyu put down her ice cream scoop, picked up the small black box, and saw a
small . Even though Cheng Xiaoyu had no knowledge of luxury goods, she recognized the brand because it was so
well-known. Cheng Xiaoyu gently opened the box, inside was a bracelet about three centimeters wide. The design was
simple, the entire platinum bracelet studded with extremely fine diamonds, sparkling like a galaxy under the light, almost dazzling
the eyes. All the women in the restaurant glanced at it simultaneously. Cheng Xiaoyu snapped
the lid shut, frowning, "Too expensive."

Yan Yu reached out and opened the box again, lifting Cheng Xiaoyu's wrist and putting the bracelet on. He said,
"The bracelet is yours, and you are mine. No matter how expensive it is, it's not expensive."

Cheng Xiaoyu's fingers were long and slender, her wrist delicate, and the diamond bracelet looked incredibly beautiful
on her. Yan Yu's fingers gently caressed the back of her fair hand. Cheng Xiaoyu withdrew her hand shyly and smiled.
"Thank you then." Saying no in this place would be too disrespectful to Yan Yu, but the bracelet looked
expensive and from such a prestigious brand. After much thought, Cheng Xiaoyu decided that if they broke up, she would return it
to Yan Yu. If they stayed together, well, then she wouldn't need to return it. Cheng Xiaoyu never expected that she
would wear this bracelet for so many years, never even taking it off to sleep. Even after breaking up with Yan Yu, she didn't return it.
It wasn't that she was greedy; it was just… a habit.

Yan Yu said, "We're not going back today, we're going to a hotel."

Cheng Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Why go to a hotel instead of going home?"

Yan Yu laughed, "Hotels are fun! There's a forest and a little bear in the room."

Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "A room with a forest and a little bear? Really?"

Yan Yu leaned closer and said solemnly, "If I'm lying, I'm an ostrich, and you can do
whatever ."

Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes immediately shone with a bright light like stars. "That sounds so fun! Let's
go !"

Yan Yu said. "What's the rush? You haven't finished your ice cream yet."

Cheng Xiaoyu finished her ice cream in a few bites with great gusto, wiped her mouth, and said, "I'm done now, let's go!"

Yan Yu stood up with a smile. Actually, the hotel had all sorts of themed rooms, and after looking at a few, he finally
chose the "Forest Teddy Bear" room. Although he had considered whether it would be
a little awkward to make love under the gaze of so many teddy bears, it was Cheng Xiaoyu's birthday after all. This girl was quite childish in some ways, and he
knew she would definitely like this room the most.

Yan Yu had just paid the bill when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID; it was Ye Lan.

Yan Yu answered the phone while holding Cheng Xiaoyu's hand as they walked out. At first, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't pay attention, but later,
when she heard Yan Yu say into the phone, "Are you feeling very unwell now?... Why didn't you go to the hospital?... ", she
noticed like a girl's voice on the other end of the line.

Yan Yu hung up the phone quickly. Cheng Xiaoyu asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Ye Lan's stomach problem flared up, and she's in so much pain in bed that she can't get up."

Cheng Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy and said, "Oh, how come she's so sick?"

Yan Yu said, "Xiaoyu, I have to go over there and take Ye Lan to the hospital."

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Isn't her home in Rongcheng? Why don't her parents take her there?"

Yan Yu said, "She lives alone outside, her parents might not be home."

Cheng Xiaoyu bit her lip, "If you go, what will I do?"

Chapter 94 Lonely Teddy Bear

It wasn't that Cheng Xiaoyu was being petty on purpose; she was just being jealous and whining about someone being sick. It was simply that she
didn't have a good impression of Ye Lan. She hadn't paid much attention before, but ever since she'd seen Yan Yu and Ye
Lan together at the coffee shop, she couldn't help but notice Ye Lan. She realized she always saw them together,
whether during work hours or not. Ye Lan would often call Yan Yu over with a single phone call, always with a plausible excuse
, and Yan Yu never refused. Cheng Xiaoyu told herself that since they were high school classmates and Ye Lan
was Yan Yu's capable assistant at work, it was understandable that their relationship was closer than others. She and Shen Jiang
sometimes , and although Yan Yu was strict, he had never really interfered in her relationship with Shen Jiang.
She should reciprocate with a healthy and tolerant attitude towards Yan Yu's relationships with his male friends.

But Cheng Xiaoyu really didn't like Ye Lan. She couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with her; she just didn't like
the way Ye Lan and Yan Yu were together. Although Ye Lan's every word and action was appropriate, her every move subtly
made it as if Yan Yu belonged to her! Ye Lan always smiled whenever she saw Cheng Xiaoyu. Although her smile for
Cheng Xiaoyu seemed similar to her smiles for others, Cheng Xiaoyu could always tell the difference. The slight
backward curve of her lips and the leisurely air in her eyes always annoyed Cheng Xiaoyu.

Cheng Xiaoyu had even asked Yan Yu if Ye Lan had feelings for him, but Yan Yu said no and told her not to overthink it.
No matter how much Cheng Xiaoyu pressed him, he wouldn't budge. Cheng Xiaoyu could only say that if she confessed to him, he had to be absolutely certain.
And she was told definitively that it was impossible! Yan Yu smiled and agreed, and Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't say anything more, so the matter
was dropped. But today, on her birthday, Ye Lan suffered a stomach ailment again; their birth charts must be
incompatible.

Yan Yu said, "Take a taxi to the Grand Hyatt Hotel first. Give me my name and phone number. The room fee has already been paid.
I'll take Ye Lan to the hospital first and then come to find you soon."

Cheng Xiaoyu stopped and said, "Why did she call you? Doesn't she have any other friends besides you?"

Yan Yu had no choice but to stop as well. "Didn't she already call me? Can I say I don't have time to go to
the hospital ?"

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little agitated, and her voice rose. "Why can't I say that? Just say you're
with and tell her to find other friends!"

Yan Yu frowned. "Cheng Xiaoyu, don't shout at me in the middle of the street. I heard Ye Lan's voice on the phone
, and she's in so much pain. I really don't have time to argue with you. What if something happens to her if I'm late?"

Cheng Xiaoyu sneered, "Do whatever you want!" With that, she turned and walked in the other direction of the road
.

Yan Yu caught up with her in two strides, grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving, flagged down a taxi on the roadside,
shoved Cheng Xiaoyu inside, and told the driver, "To the Grand Hyatt Hotel."

The driver asked, "Which Grand Hyatt Hotel?"

"The one on Shangtang Road, their main branch."

Cheng Xiaoyu said coldly, "I'm not going." She opened the car door to get out.

Yan Yu quickly blocked the door to prevent her from getting out, "Okay, Xiaoyu, the patient comes first, okay?
I

'll talk to you when I get back." Seeing Yan Yu's forehead sweating profusely, Cheng Xiaoyu's heart softened and she couldn't say anything.

Yan Yu told the driver, "Drive."

The taxi started, and Cheng Xiaoyu glanced back through the glass; Yan Yu was turning around and
running back to where he had parked.

Yan Yu drove to Ye Lan's building and rang the doorbell for almost two minutes before Ye Lan opened the door. She
was clutching her stomach with one hand and holding onto the door frame with the other, her face pale.

Yan Yu quickly asked her, "Is it still very painful?"

Ye Lan was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, only nodding.

Yan Yu bent down and carried Ye Lan downstairs, then drove the car to the nearest hospital.

After examining her, the doctor said, "No fever or vomiting, the symptoms don't seem like acute gastritis, so why is the pain
so severe?"

Ye Lan shook her head, indicating she didn't know; she was still in a lot of pain and remained hunched over.

The doctor asked Ye Lan a few more questions about her condition, thought for a moment, and said, "At first glance, it seems to be a common ulcer,
but since the pain is this bad, we need to do a gastroscopy. When was your last meal today?"

Ye Lan clutched her stomach and said, "I was a bit busy at work today, and I didn't eat anything since noon."

The doctor said, "You have a bad stomach, how can you be so careless about your diet? But you can have a gastroscopy now . Go
get your painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication first, and then we'll have the gastroscopy."

Ye Lan lay on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip. Yan Yu asked her if she was feeling better. Ye Lan said, "The painkiller really helped . My parents happen to be away right now; they went to visit relatives in their hometown. My stomach is already bad, and I didn't pay much attention to the pain
this afternoon ."
As a result, I was in so much pain that night that I couldn't straighten my back. I don't know why, but
when I picked up the phone, the first person I thought of was you. It's so late, and I'm still asking you to stay with me. I'm sorry to bother you."

Yan Yu said, "It's okay. You're a girl all alone, and no one is taking care of you. Just tell me if anything happens."

Yan Yu calculated the time in his mind. After finishing these two bottles of saline and having a gastroscopy, it would probably be no later than eleven o'clock.
So he took out his phone and sent a text message to Cheng Xiaoyu, "Baby, Ye Lan is getting an IV drip and has to have a gastroscopy. I
'll take her home and then come to the hotel to find you. Wait for me a little longer." Yan Yu looked at the message delivery notification on his phone and
sighed inwardly. This girl was probably really angry today, and this time it wouldn't be so easy to fool her.

Ye Lan saw Yan Yu frowning as he held his phone and knew that he was texting Cheng Xiaoyu. She just pretended not to know and
continued to pretend to have a stomachache on the bed with her eyebrows slightly pursed and her body arched. Ye Lan's stomach has always been weak,
and she had deliberately skipped lunch and dinner today , so her stomach was indeed a little sore, though not as exaggerated as she was pretending.
Even if she had a gastroscopy later, Ye Lan wasn't worried about her lie being exposed. She already had ulcers in her stomach, and if she insisted
she had a sudden, severe stomachache, the doctor couldn't say anything. She'd heard that gastroscopy was quite uncomfortable, with a
speculum inserted directly into the esophagus, which was incredibly disgusting. Ye Lan had no other choice; Cheng Xiaoyu
hadn't reacted much to her and Yan Yu's situation, and she didn't know if the girl was just holding back or genuinely naive. Ye Lan knew it was
Cheng Xiaoyu's birthday today; a quick check of the employee records would reveal it. She believed this sacrifice was worthwhile;
only a major argument between Cheng Xiaoyu and Yan Yu would hasten their breakup.

Cheng Xiaoyu used her room card to open the heavy, dark brown door, discovering a completely different world inside. She walked slowly inside,
incredulous . The room was huge, a sea of green as far as the eye could see. The walls were painted with
lush, verdant forests, like a tropical rainforest, the colors vibrant and fairytale-
like. Several model trees, just like those in the paintings, were scattered throughout the room, along with several
teddy bears of different sizes and dressed in various outfits, some standing, some sitting. One bear, wearing overalls and a hat askew, was pretending to chop down a
model tree, while another lay leisurely with its legs crossed in a hammock tied between two trees. Cheng Xiaoyu walked
over and gently pushed it; the hammock swayed twice, and the bear on it looked even more relaxed.
Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. She slowly walked around the room. It was so beautiful, fulfilling every
girl's fairytale fantasies.

The bed was in the center of the room, surrounded by a circular bathtub. Cheng Xiaoyu walked to the bed and touched it;
it was a soft waterbed. She lay back on the bed, feeling so comfortable, like being in a cradle. Above Cheng Xiaoyu's
head was a large, glass-enclosed, azure-blue "pool," likely controlled by an electric device, as
the water inside was flowing silently. Lying on her back, Cheng Xiaoyu noticed that the entire ceiling mural depicted a lush green lawn
with colorful flowers and several cute little rabbits peeking out from among the grass. In the very center of the lawn was
a round pool, directly above her bed.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked around for a while, then noticed a row of small buttons by the bedside. She
pressed the leftmost one, and all the lights in the room snapped off. At the same time, the circular fish tank beside the bed...
The fluorescent lights in the room turned on automatically, startling the pretty little fish, which swam around in a riot of colors,
creating an underwater world. The pool on the roof also lit up, the soft blue shimmering on Cheng Xiaoyu's face—
it was simply dreamlike. A large, fluffy teddy bear sat by the bed, its expression endearingly goofy
. Cheng Xiaoyu turned to look at it, patted its head, then sat up and wrapped her arms around
its neck, burying her face in its soft fur and kissing it. The bear was so warm, fulfilling her
desire for a hug.

Cheng Xiaoyu was taking a bath when Yan Yu's text message arrived. Even the bathtub in this room was shaped like a small puddle
—it was so cute! She wondered what brand of bath gel it provided; it smelled amazing and produced tons of bubbles.
Hearing her phone ring, Cheng Xiaoyu picked it up and glanced at it. She wanted to reply, but after editing it several times, she finally deleted it.
Nothing she said would be appropriate; asking about Ye Lan's condition would seem too fake, because she wasn't being sincere.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't reply at all, only resting her head on the edge of the bathtub, scooping up a handful of bubbles and gently blowing
on them .

Ye Lan vomited after her gastroscopy, but she hadn't eaten anything, so she dry-heaved for a long time, only vomiting bile.
Tears streamed down her face, her mascara and eyeliner smudged, her hair disheveled and her face frighteningly pale
. Ye Lan didn't want Yan Yu to see her in this disheveled state, so she pushed him outside, locked the door, and
vomited into the toilet herself. After dry-heaving for a long time, the mechanical, cold nausea finally subsided a bit. Ye Lan stood up, leaning on the sink.
The woman in the mirror looked really bad. Ye Lan had no choice but to haphazardly remove her makeup with soap and water. Without makeup,
Ye Lan was no longer the radiant and charming businesswoman who wore seven-inch heels to the company every day. At twenty-eight
, she wasn't quite young, and although she didn't yet have fine lines, faint spots were starting to appear on her face.
Looking at knew a woman's youth was fleeting. Since she'd already made the decision, there was no reason to give up.
Ye Lan took a deep breath, turned, and left the bathroom.

Chapter 95: Related to the Past. After

the gastroscopy, Yan Yu asked the doctor if they could go home now. The doctor said no, they needed to stay in the hospital for observation at least one
night. This kind of sudden, severe stomach pain could be serious or minor; the cause needed to be determined.

Ye Lan struggled to sit up in bed and said, "Yan Yu, you should go home. It's so late."

Yan Yu didn't speak.

Ye Lan gagged again. She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening. Yan Yu suddenly
remembered the scene he and Ye Lan had shared in the hospital years ago. Ye Lan sat on the hospital bed, covering her mouth and crying silently, her eyes
red. Yan Yu's heart immediately softened. He stepped forward and patted Ye Lan's shoulder. "Look at you, how can you be
like this alone? I'll stay here with you tonight."

The room was indeed beautiful, but it wasn't suitable for being alone. The waterbed was indeed very comfortable, but Cheng
Xiaoyu . Moreover, the shadow of the teddy bear in the dark easily reminded her of ghosts. Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice
but to turn on the lights for the fish tank and the ceiling pool, hugging the big teddy bear and silently looking at her phone. 11:56
, 11:57, 11:58, 11:59, 12 o'clock... Yan Yu, you gave me
a birthday that ended abruptly. Even if you come now, it's no longer my birthday.

Cheng Xiaoyu's phone rang; it was another text message from Yan Yu. She opened it and read, "Ye Lan
vomited badly after her gastroscopy. The doctor said she needs to stay in the hospital for observation, so I have to stay here with her today. Her parents have gone back to
their hometown . Little ostrich, don't be angry. I'll apologize to you when I get back. Did you like that room?
Let's stay together again next time."

Cheng Xiaoyu put her phone aside, lay back on the bed, and looked at the quietly rotating pool of water on the ceiling. The shape of the water
sometimes resembled Yan Yu's face, and sometimes Ye Lan's. Ye Lan in the water was also smiling at her, that kind of
meaningful smile with the corners of her mouth curving backwards. Cheng Xiaoyu felt annoyed just looking at it, so she turned on all the lights in the room, got
out of bed and hugged each of the teddy bears one by one.

As Cheng Xiaoyu walked around the room, she noticed there was a small study inside. Because the door was also green,
she hadn't noticed it before. The study was decorated in the same forest style as the outside, and there was a computer on the desk.
Cheng Xiaoyu turned on her computer and found the internet speed was quite fast, so she decided to play some games online. After all, she was too angry with Yan Yu
to sleep.

She played some QQ Landlord and then a bit of the Werewolf game. Her computer was well-equipped, even
having a microphone, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to play the game. It was already 1:30 AM, and Cheng Xiaoyu was still enthusiastically
talking into the microphone trying to outwit and outmaneuver her opponent. She was incredibly frustrated; since she couldn't argue with Yan Yu,
she'd rather argue with the players in the game.

Cheng Xiaoyu, dressed in an elegant pink floor-length dress, propped one leg rather inelegantly on the chair, tapping
the table with one hand as she spoke into the microphone, "In the last round, the deceased threw a water bag, challenging players 6 and 12 to a duel. What
a coincidence that player 6 happens to be a cop? Will player 12 also claim to be a cop when it's his turn? Do you believe it?
I certainly don't. I think player 6 is most likely a criminal, and I don't suspect player 6 either, who just spoke up for him
. Maybe they're accomplices. Player 10 has finished speaking."

After Cheng Xiaoyu finished speaking, it was player 11's turn. After the players spoke, player number 11 basically agreed that player number 6 was the bandit
. Next, it was player number 12's turn to speak, as they were facing off against player number 6. Everyone waited to see what
player would say. Player number 12 turned on their microphone, but no one spoke. Everyone cursed in front of their computers.
After about half a minute, the player named "cwdklfsl" finally spoke. His voice trembled slightly
as he said, "Cheng Xiaoyu, is that you? I know it's you, Xiaoyu."

Cheng Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat. That voice—it was him! He anxiously said, "Xiaoyu, please
don't log off! We can talk anything. You can do whatever you want." Cheng Xiaoyu frantically tried to press the power button on her computer,
but her trembling hands made it impossible to turn it off. He was still calling her name from inside the computer, "Xiaoyu,
Xiaoyu , Xiaoyu…" His pain, urgency, and anxiety were like that of a caged beast. Cheng Xiaoyu grabbed the power outlet
and yanked it out, abruptly stopping the computer's sound. She held the outlet tightly for a good two minutes before
finally throwing it to the ground, running to the door, pulling out her room key, slamming the door shut, and running away.

Yan Yu stayed with Ye Lan at the hospital all night. He fell asleep by her bedside in the latter half of the night, and when he woke up in the morning, his neck
was incredibly sore. Looking up, he saw Ye Lan lying in bed, smiling at him.

Yan Yu rubbed his neck. "You're awake. Does your stomach still hurt?"

Ye Lan smiled. "It doesn't hurt anymore." Without makeup, Ye Lan looked slightly haggard in the morning sunlight, but
Yan Yu felt that she was much more approachable than usual, more like his ex-girlfriend.

The attending physician had already left work last night and came to look at Ye Lan's gastroscopy images this morning. He pondered, "
Although the ulcer is quite serious, it shouldn't be causing severe pain. Have you been having irregular sleep patterns these days,
and not eating properly?"

Ye Lan said, "Recently, our department has been busy with a big order, so I haven't been able to focus on eating and sleeping."

The doctor prescribed some medication for the stomach ulcer, saying that she should drink more porridge and eat more stomach-soothing foods for the next few days, and that she
should eat three meals a day on time. If her stomach hurts again, she should come back to the hospital for a follow-up visit.

Yan Yu picked up Ye Lan's medicine and then drove her home. When they arrived near Ye Lan's house, he asked, "Do
you sell porridge around here?"

Ye Lan replied, "What, are you hungry?"

Yan Yu said, "Didn't the doctor just tell you to drink more porridge? You didn't eat anything yesterday, let's have some porridge
before we go back. You should take better care of yourself in the future. Why are you working so hard? Are you afraid I won't promote you?"

Ye Lan just smiled.

The two of them went to a porridge shop. Yan Yu ordered preserved egg and lean pork porridge, and Ye Lan ordered barley and red date porridge.
The shop was quite busy. The two of them sat at a low wooden table, head to head, drinking their porridge. Yan Yu hadn't slept well all night
, and he kept yawning while drinking his porridge. Ye Lan looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Yan Yu asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ye Lan said, "I remember when I asked you to come to school early to have breakfast with me, you refused, saying you couldn't wake up
in the morning . Later, I got angry and you finally agreed to come with me, and then you were yawning while eating steamed buns."

Yan Yu laughed too, "That's true."

Ye Lan looked at him, her eyes filled with tenderness. Yan Yu was startled and subtly looked away,
while Ye Lan lowered her eyes and ate her porridge.

The porridge shop was only a few hundred meters from Ye Lan's house. After leaving the shop, Ye Lan said, "Don't drive, let's walk."

Yan Yu agreed, and the two walked silently along the street.
When they passed a white-painted door that read "Dr. Yao's Traditional Chinese Medicine," Ye Lan stopped and said, "This Dr. Yao is quite good; he has a very good reputation in our neighborhood. Come with me to
have a look . I think stomach problems need to be treated with traditional Chinese medicine; Western medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

Yan Yu followed Ye Lan inside. It was a small clinic with only a female doctor in her fifties.

The female doctor held Ye Lan's wrist and took her pulse for a while. Ye Lan asked, "Doctor, is my stomach problem
very serious?"

The doctor said, "The stomach problem is relatively easy to handle, but your symptoms of kidney deficiency and menstrual irregularities are much more serious. Your
constitution was already weak, and then..." Doctor Yao paused and asked, "Have you had an abortion before?"

Ye Lan blushed and managed a weak "yes.

" Doctor Yao sighed, "You young people don't know how to take care of yourselves, how could you know the dangers? Judging from your pulse,
you're a very competitive person. Abortion is very damaging to the body. You're already suffering from this deficiency, and it
will be very difficult for you to have children again in the future."

Ye Lan looked at Doctor Yao with a pale face, and Yan Yu, sitting on the sofa next to her, was also stunned.

After staying at the clinic for nearly an hour, Ye Lan pushed open the door with a large bag of Chinese medicine and
walked home listlessly. Yan Yu followed her out of the clinic and finally spoke after a long while, "
You must take the medicine the doctor prescribed on time every day. It will get better after you get married."

Ye Lan didn't speak.

Yan Yu quickened his pace to catch up with Ye Lan, but before he could continue speaking, he found Ye Lan already in tears.
What In the nearly two years they'd been together, Yan Yu had only seen her cry once, and that time, for
the same reason as today, was different.

Yan Yu held Ye Lan's shoulders, his words choked in his throat. Ye Lan buried her head in Yan Yu's chest, her
shoulders shaking with sobs.

Yan Yu didn't move. He said, "Ye Lan, I'm sorry."

Ye Lan sobbed, "I regret it so much. I was young and naive back then, but why did I have to
pay such a high price?"

Yan Yu's chest was also filled with bitterness. He said, "I regret it too, I really regret it. Ye Lan,
I'll do anything I can to help you."

Ye Lan hugged Yan Yu and cried against his chest for a while, but Yan Yu still didn't hug her back. Ye Lan wiped away her tears
and turned to leave. Yan Yu called her name from behind. Ye Lan stopped but didn't turn around, forcing herself to steady
her trembling voice, "Thank you for bringing me back. I can walk the rest of the way myself. Your
assistant is probably angry that you didn't go home all night. Go home now."

Ye Lan lowered her head and quickly walked away. She was wearing a loose dress, and her back view looked thin and lonely. Yan Yu
asked himself if there was anyone he had wronged in his life, except for Ye Lan. He truly felt sorry for her.

Ye Lan opened the door and went home. She changed into slippers and lay down on the sofa, casually tossing the yellowish-brown herbal medicine bag
on the floor. Ye Lan bit her finger, looking at the medicine on the floor. Did she really have to drink it? Drinking herbal medicine every day was such a hassle... Oh well, she
'd still drink it. She'd bring a cup to the company every noon. Did she have to keep up the act? Besides, she had already arranged with
Dr. Yao to get some gentle tonics for her reproductive system. Drinking some wouldn't do her any harm; she'd already
had an abortion, and now, with some tonics, she'd be ready to have a baby around thirty. This was a potent medicine she'd administered. Yan Yu
must be in a terrible mood right now, and if that little assistant continued to argue with him, Yan Yu wouldn't be a man if he wasn't annoyed.
And the price she paid was only five hundred yuan to Dr. Yao. Even if she did marry Yan Yu and have
a child in the future, she could just say it was Dr. Yao's traditional Chinese medicine that worked. The more Ye Lan thought about it, the more flawless it seemed, and she couldn't help
but smile silently.

Chapter 96: Bitter Medicine

Yan Yu was extremely sleepy and wanted to go home and take a nap before going to the company in the afternoon, but he was worried about Cheng Xiaoyu, so
he drove directly to the company. When Yan Yu entered the CEO's office, he saw Cheng Xiaoyu filling in
data . She wore a high ponytail and a stand-up collar shirt, looking quite energetic, but her face appeared somewhat tired.
Had she waited a long time last night…?

Cheng Xiaoyu only glanced at him indifferently before turning back to working on the spreadsheet. Yan Yu had a lot he wanted to say to
Cheng Xiaoyu , but he was afraid she would embarrass him in front of Song Xuewen, so
he went to his own office in a sullen mood. The morning was uneventful; Yan Yu casually browsed the web for a while before falling asleep at his desk.
Song Xuewen woke him up at noon.

Song Xuewen said, "President Yan, if you're tired, I'll bring you some takeout."

Yan Yu stood up and said, "No need, let's eat together downstairs."

During the meal, Cheng Xiaoyu remained silent. Yan Yu noticed she had taken off the diamond bracelet he'd given her yesterday
, but at least she still wore the Pisces necklace, which reassured him slightly. He still didn't dare speak
rashly, only diligently serving Cheng Xiaoyu food twice. Neither Yan Yu nor Cheng Xiaoyu spoke, and Song Xuewen, being
perceptive , remained silent as well. Everyone ate in silence.

During the lunch break, Song Xuewen, as usual, slept on his desk for a while. Cheng Xiaoyu, who had barely slept all night, was
extremely sleepy and was about to take a nap when her phone rang. It was a text from Yan Yu: "Baby, come in
for a moment ."

Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Song Xuewen slumped on the desk, and tiptoed over to open the partition between the two
offices . Seeing her enter, Yan Yu took her hand and led her into the small bedroom. He closed the door, pulled her close, and
whispered in her ear, "Little ostrich, I'm sorry."

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't speak, only wrapped her arms around Yan Yu's waist and rested her face on his shoulder. She was exhausted and
confused, and all she wanted was to lean on him like this; the unique scent of him made her feel safer
.

Seeing her like this, Yan Yu was even more unsure. Knowing this girl as he did, he knew she should be standing there, hands on
hips rambling and arguing, not being so obedient. This was very bad. Yan
Yu quickly explained that Ye Lan had a terrible stomachache, and he almost fainted when he arrived. Although Ye Lan's stomach
wasn't good , she had already exaggerated her symptoms. To avoid arousing Cheng Xiaoyu's suspicion, Yan Yu
further exaggerated Ye Lan's symptoms, making it sound as if Ye Lan was about to die from a perforated stomach. Yan Yu said, "Ye Lan's parents have
gone back to their hometown to visit relatives. She's so sick, how can I just leave her in the hospital? Xiao Yu, I know you were upset yesterday because it was your
birthday . That hotel has several nice themed rooms. Let's pick a fun
one to stay in next week."

Cheng Xiao Yu shook her head, "I don't want to go."

Yan Yu hadn't slept well all night, and he was also troubled by Ye Lan's situation. Seeing Cheng Xiao Yu's indifferent and
unyielding attitude, how could he not be annoyed? But he couldn't show it, so he could only continue to patiently say, "Then
what do you want me to do so you won't be angry?"

Cheng Xiao Yu let go of Yan Yu's waist and sat on the edge of the bed, saying, "I'm not angry. She's so sick,
of course you should go see her. But I've already been to that room. Even if I go again, it won't be my birthday."

Yan Yu felt that Cheng Xiao Yu's personality was sometimes too awkward. He genuinely liked her, but he always had
his difficult times. Why couldn't she be more understanding? Yan Yu sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Xiaoyu, stop arguing with me, I'm exhausted."

Cheng Xiaoyu was silent for a moment before asking, "Is Ye Lan's stomach feeling better now?"

Yan Yu said, "It's better, she's resting at home now."

"So if her stomach hurts again next time, will she come to you again?"

Yan Yu called out to Xiaoyu helplessly.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Yan Yu. "Ye Lan likes you, can't you tell? Yan Yu, whether you admit it or
not, I hate Ye Lan. I feel unhappy whenever I see her
. I've never hated her this much, not even your ex-girlfriend Dori S. This time, even if I'm being petty, I'm asking you now: can you stay
away Whether she's a friend or a confidante, I hope you won't have any other contact with Ye Lan besides work.
Can you promise me that?"

Yan Yu looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, and the image of Ye Lan walking away alone involuntarily flashed before his eyes. His heart skipped a beat,
and after a long while, he forced himself to answer, "Okay, I promise you."

Cheng Xiaoyu held out her hand. "Let's pinky swear."

Yan Yu smiled. "What pinky swear? We're not children."

Cheng Xiaoyu silently withdrew her hand, lowering her eyes and remaining silent.

Yan Yu deliberately teased Cheng Xiaoyu for a while, but Cheng Xiaoyu only responded faintly. Yan Yu
couldn't continue after a few words. Cheng Xiaoyu said she wanted to sleep for a while and
asked then lay down on her side on the bed, leaving only her back to Yan Yu. Cheng Xiaoyu's slender figure held a hidden
stubbornness, just like her—an image that both annoyed and deeply captivated Yan Yu. Yan Yu, also feeling sleepy
, lay down against Cheng Xiaoyu's back, reaching out to hug her warm, soft waist and closing his eyes. The bright sunlight outside the window
made Cheng Xiaoyu squint slightly. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight; it was too bright, completely
unsuitable for her current dark mood.

More than two weeks later, Cheng Xiaoyu gradually recovered. The sound she unexpectedly heard in the hotel that night
woke her up several times in the middle of the night. Each time in her dreams, he was calling her name. She kept running and running, weaving through
crowds and climbing countless stairs, finally waking up in tears, her eyes
still wet. Yan Yu slept soundly beside her, breathing peacefully. Cheng Xiaoyu snuggled into his arms, her heart
pounding sorrow. How many people played the online murder mystery game? How could she have run into him? She
had long since abandoned her old accounts; she had sealed all accounts related to her past. Why did she still encounter him? Was it
a coincidence, or… was he looking for her? Cheng Xiaoyu didn't dare to even consider that possibility, because just thinking about it
made heart shatter. She would never play that game again.

Cheng Xiaoyu still had many opportunities to run into Ye Lan. Yan Yu and Ye Lan only interacted professionally, and whenever
Cheng Xiaoyu was present, Yan Yu would deliberately distance himself from Ye Lan when they spoke. Cheng Xiaoyu could see it, and Ye Lan
could see , but she pretended not to notice and continued to earnestly discuss work with Yan Yu. One day, Ye Lan rushed
to the president's office and spoke briefly with Yan Yu. Yan Yu then convened a meeting with several senior company executives. At 2 PM, he
scheduled a contract signing with a company. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the original agreement might be detrimental to Ruiyu. They
were busy devising countermeasures and didn't even have time for lunch; Song Xuewen and Cheng Xiaoyu ordered takeout. After the meeting, Yan Yu
immediately led his team to negotiate. When Cheng Xiaoyu went into the meeting room to pack up, she found a
bottle of Chinese medicine on the table, which someone had left behind. She took the bottle back to the president's office.

Yan Yu returned to his office around 4 PM. Cheng Xiaoyu walked in and asked, "How did the agreement go?"

In a good mood, Yan Yu hugged Cheng Xiaoyu and kissed her on the cheek. "A complete victory. They wanted to catch us
off guard , but they never expected this. Hmph, we were very well prepared." Ye Lan was credited with this victory.
Thanks to her good connections and meticulous attention to detail, otherwise Ruiyu would have suffered a considerable loss.

Cheng Xiaoyu quickly pushed him away and whispered, "What are you doing? Brother Song will see."

Yan Yu smiled nonchalantly.

Cheng Xiaoyu held up the cup in her hand and said, "Whose cup is this? I left it in the conference room, I'll
bring it to him."

Yan Yu looked at it, "Ye Lan's."

Cheng Xiaoyu said "Oh," took the cup, and turned to leave.

When Cheng Xiaoyu entered Ye Lan's office, Ye Lan was typing on her computer. This woman,
even when she was alone, sat ramrod straight.

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "President Ye, is this your cup? I left it in the conference room."

Ye Lan hummed in agreement, "It's mine, I forgot to take it." Actually, Ye Lan never forgot anything;
if she did, it was on purpose.

Cheng Xiaoyu placed the cup on the table. Ye Lan picked it up and held it in her hand, gently stroking the transparent plastic body
. "Assistant Cheng, do you know what this is?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Chinese medicine, I guess." The dark color and slightly bitter smell—what else could it be but Chinese medicine?

Ye Lan looked down at the Chinese medicine in the cup. "Then do you know what kind of Chinese medicine this is?"

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't understand why Ye Lan was asking her this, so she could only say, "No."

Ye Lan smiled slightly. "Thank you for bringing the cup over for me. You can go back to your work now."

Cheng Xiaoyu had been pondering this all the way home, but she couldn't immediately ask Yan Yu when she got back to the office. So
she patiently waited until she was in the car after work before speaking. "Today when I went downstairs to deliver the cup to Ye Lan, she asked me if I knew
what kind of medicine was in her cup."

Yan Yu hummed in agreement.

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Do you know what medicine she drank?"

Yan Yu thought
for

a moment and said, "It should be traditional Chinese medicine for stomach problems. She went to see a TCM doctor when I took her home last time." Cheng Xiaoyu fell silent, then sneered after a while, "I thought it meant something, but it turns out she's just showing off to me."

Yan Yu inwardly groaned, but could only say, "Why do you overthink things? She's probably just
chatting with you casually."

Cheng Xiaoyu turned her head to look out the window, not saying a word.

Chapter 97 Love Triangle

Around 10 p.m., Yan Yu went into the bathroom to shower, while Cheng Xiaoyu leaned against the headboard reading. Yan Yu
's phone, which was on the bed, suddenly rang. Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at it subconsciously and saw Ye Lan's name. It was
a .

Cheng Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, picked up Yan Yu's phone, and stared at Ye Lan's name for several seconds before pressing
the "read" button. She knew it wasn't right, but she really didn't trust Yan Yu as much as before.

Ye Lan's text message read: "I was so busy today, I'll definitely remember every day from now on. Thank you, Yu."

Cheng Xiaoyu opened her inbox again and found a text message Yan Yu had sent to Ye Lan. The message read:
"You didn't take your medicine at noon today. Don't forget again. Keep taking your medicine, and your health will gradually improve.
Take good care of yourself." The message was sent at 4:30 PM,
after .

Cheng Xiaoyu angrily threw her phone onto the bed, frowned, and thought for a while before picking it up again and going through
their previous text messages. Although most of them were short and sweet talk about work, Cheng Xiaoyu always felt that Ye Lan
's words, seemingly straightforward, had a deeper meaning. Yan Yu wasn't oblivious; she didn't believe he wouldn't see through it.
Cheng Xiaoyu knew that some men would adopt an ambiguous attitude towards women who pursued them, neither accepting nor rejecting them, but she
never knew that Yan Yu was also that kind of person. Especially today, when he actually said something
ambiguous like "you need to take good care of yourself," Cheng Xiaoyu felt a growing sense of despair. Yan Yu wasn't the kind of
person who couldn't handle relationships well; if he couldn't, it could only be because he didn't want to.

Yan Yu came out of the bathroom and saw Cheng Xiaoyu sitting on the bed, lost in thought, holding his phone. While drying his hair, Yan Yu
said, "What are you doing with my phone?"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at him. "Ye Lan just texted you, saying she'll remember to take her medicine every day from now on,
and thanked you, Yu."

Yan Yu awkwardly put the towel down. "We were busy with a meeting at noon today, and later when you brought Ye Lan
's cup, I realized she forgot to take her medicine. She… her stomach problem is so serious, so I just reminded her
not to forget to take her medicine."

Yan Yu's phone slipped from Cheng Xiaoyu's hand onto the bed. She said, "Fine, you're always right, I
don't want to talk to you anymore." Cheng Xiaoyu got off the bed, picked up her pillow, and headed downstairs.

Yan Yu quickly stopped her, laughing, "You're going downstairs after only a few words? Your temper is getting worse and worse."

Cheng Xiaoyu said calmly, "Don't block me, I don't want to argue with you."

Yan Yu scratched his hair in annoyance, "What did I say that made you like this again? I just told her to remember to take her medicine.
Ye Lan isn't in good health and has no one to take care of her, she's actually quite pitiful. Xiaoyu, I swear I've never thought about
anything with Ye Lan, I only see her as a friend."

Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at Yan Yu, "Every time I watch TV, I feel especially sorry for those
women . I think it's too pathetic for a woman to try to keep a man through such means.
I don't want to do that. What happens between you and Ye Lan is your business, I only act according to my heart." She then pushed Yan Yu
away and was about to leave again. Yan Yu quickly stopped her, apologizing repeatedly, saying that his support for Ye Lan at work
and his occasional were just the friendship between high school classmates. Since Cheng Xiaoyu didn't like it, he would never say such
things again.

Cheng Xiaoyu sat on the bed, hugging her ostrich plushie, listening silently to him. After a long while, she said, "Yan Yu, I just don't
understand why you're so good to Ye Lan. I think a man who's so accommodating to a woman can only be
so loving."

Yan Yu repeatedly assured her that Cheng Xiaoyu was the only one in his heart and mind, but inwardly he
sighed . Silly girl, sometimes a man's accommodating nature towards a woman doesn't necessarily mean he loves her.
It could be that she has something on him, or that he owes her too much and can only
make amends .

This summer was unusually hot; even in early August, it was still like a sauna outside.
After that unpleasant text message incident, Cheng Xiaoyu hadn't found any more leverage. But the foundation of a relationship is trust. Without trust, everything becomes
paranoid and suspicious. The two had several arguments, big and small, over trivial matters. Later, Ye...
The name "Lan" had become a taboo subject between them; it couldn't be mentioned at all, or it would lead to an argument. This sweltering summer
was particularly unbearable for Cheng Xiaoyu. Partly because of Ye Lan, and partly because of a persistent unease, a
suffocating feeling of impending doom. She couldn't bring herself to talk to Yan Yu about it, so she resorted to occasional unreasonable tantrums. Yan Yu,
annoyed by her antics, sighed and said, "Little darling, what do you want?" Cheng Xiaoyu was speechless.

One weekend, Yan Yu said he had a banquet that evening and put on a sharp suit around 5 pm, ready to leave.
Yan Yu was tall and handsome, and dressed formally, he looked especially dashing.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked him up and down and laughed, "What kind of banquet is this, dressed like this?"

Yan Yu straightened his shirt collar in front of the mirror, "It's just those people. These pretentious banquets
are actually quite boring." Before leaving, Yan Yu told Cheng Xiaoyu, "It's not hot outside now, you can go out
for a walk if you have nothing to do. I probably won't be back until nine or ten o'clock tonight."

Cheng Xiaoyu thought the weather had been too hot lately, and she didn't want to go out during the day on weekends. She thought that staying at home
in front of the computer all the time was indeed boring. After Yan Yu left, she changed into a polka dot dress and put on a pair of flat sandals and went out
. Yan Yu's house was not far from the business district, only a ten-minute bus ride away. Cheng Xiaoyu wandered around for a while and then sat on a high stool by the window in
McDonald , drinking a milkshake and watching the pedestrians outside. After watching for only a couple of minutes, she actually
saw something interesting.

A stylishly dressed, pretty girl
emerged from the mall entrance, arm in arm with Wen Si and carrying two large shopping bags in the other. Cheng Xiaoyu saw her and waved to Wen Si through the glass, but he didn't see her.
Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at her companion; the girl was fair-skinned and beautiful, a typical southern girl's appearance—
so this was Wen Si's type. Just as they stepped off the mall's entrance, they encountered a
tall, beautiful woman in a black leopard-print dress. All three stopped. Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't hear
their conversation, but the two women spoke with haughty chins held high, while Wen Si looked slightly embarrassed.
After a few words, the two clearly hostile women abandoned their pretense of peace and began to confront each other fiercely
, their confrontation escalating. Passersby kept turning to stare. Wen Si, somewhat
embarrassed tugged at one and then the other, but no one paid him any attention.

Cheng Xiaoyu hurriedly pushed open the McDonald's door and went out, only to see the tall, beautiful woman slap Wen Si
across the face . Wen Si grabbed her arm, "Are you still not done? If you're not happy, then leave."

The woman's face turned pale with anger. She shook off Wen Si's hand, pointed at his nose, and angrily cursed him, "You scumbag, may you get
hit by a car and die!" before stomping away in her high heels.

Wen Si, annoyed, put his hands on his hips. Damn it, he'd completely lost face.

In the blink of an eye, just as Wen Si's left cheek narrowly avoided a blow, his right cheek was
slammed to the side.

The one who hit him was another beautiful woman. Wen Si was furious, "Are you fucking crazy? Get the hell out of here!"

The woman retorted angrily, "Why did you have to sleep with that Bai Shanshan? She's the most despicable woman in all of Rongcheng.
You have no taste whatsoever, ptooey!" The woman threw down the two shopping bags she was carrying, stomped on them twice, and then
stormed off .

The beautiful woman left, but some people still chuckled and watched. Wen Si glared at them, and only then
did they reluctantly leave. Wen Si walked away dejectedly. Cheng Xiaoyu quickly caught up, picked up the two paper bags, and patted Wen Si on
the shoulder.

Wen Si turned around, somewhat surprised, and said, "What are you doing here?"

Cheng Xiaoyu suppressed a laugh and said, "Brother Wen Si, don't be angry. They don't want you, but I do." Wen Si was Yan Yu's
best friend, so Cheng Xiaoyu and Wen Si had become quite close over the past six months. Cheng Xiaoyu had
heard about Wen Si's romantic escapades from Yan Yu before, but seeing it in person today, she realized what it meant to see it for yourself.

Wen Si said, "Xiaoyu, you're being mean, making fun of me at a time like this."

Cheng Xiaoyu laughed and took Wen Si's arm. "I know Brother Wen Si is broad-minded and won't be upset about
something . Alright, let's go." Cheng Xiaoyu pulled Wen Si along quickly, turned an intersection, and finally, no
one was peeking at them anymore. Only then did Cheng Xiaoyu slow down and let go of Wen Si's arm. "Alright, Young Master Wen
, tell me about this complicated love triangle."

Wen Si sighed with a bitter face. "Don't mention it, it's all just trivial stuff."

Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled. "Tell me, tell me." Gossip is a woman's nature, and Cheng Xiaoyu was no exception.

Wen Si glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu. "Little brat, look how happy you are. I
met Bai Shanshan at a bar, just a few nights' fling. We didn't even have this much chemistry when we were out having fun. Who knew she knew Wang Ying? Damn,
what bad !"

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Oh, so Wang Ying is the real girlfriend?"

Wen Si snorted. "I think every woman in the world looks like my real girlfriend." As he spoke, his eyes darted over Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng

Xiaoyu felt uneasy under his gaze and took a step back. "Why are you looking at me?"

Wen Si stroked his chin and said, "Actually, you and Wang Ying have similar figures, so you're the one."

Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "What do you mean, me?"

Wen Si stretched out his long arm and put his arm around Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder, laughing. "Xiaoyu, I've always been good to you, haven't I?
You have to do me a favor today."

Chapter 98 Banquet

Cheng Xiaoyu was dragged by Wen Si like a whirlwind to a nearby photo studio, which offered
makeup and . Wen Si exchanged a few words with the waiter inside, and Cheng Xiaoyu was led to a seat where her hair was washed,
cut , blow-dried, and permed. Cheng Xiaoyu cried out, "I didn't want a perm, don't move!"

Wen Si had no choice but to leave aside a pretty female customer who was flirting with her and rush over to say, "This is a one-time
perm, it'll be straight after a wash tomorrow."

Cheng Xiaoyu sat in front of the dressing table, looking at Wen Si in the mirror, her expression still somewhat dissatisfied.

Wen Si said, "Isn't it because you have to bring a female companion to the banquet? That Wang Ying suddenly ran away,
and I can't go if you don't help me. Xiaoyu, I promise I'll be grateful to you this time." Then he
said to the girl curling Cheng Xiaoyu's hair, "Beautiful lady, hurry up a bit, we're in a rush." After saying that, he leisurely walked over to the young woman he
had been flirting with and praised her beauty, showing no sign of being in a hurry at all.

Cheng Xiaoyu was at her wit's end with Wen Si, so she had no choice but to let the makeup artist do her thing. The makeup artist looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's appearance...
Sweet and lovely, so I gave her a cute makeup look. Her long black hair was curled into beautiful big waves and draped over her shoulders,
with a small pearl hair clip on each side of her head. Her cheeks were covered with cute pink blush, her eyes were drawn
big, and two layers of long false eyelashes were applied, fluttering like little fans so that you could see
the glitter of the pearly eyeshadow above. Finally, I applied a layer of shiny, jelly-like transparent lip gloss to her lips, and she was done. Having successfully
obtained the beautiful woman's phone number, Wen Si pushed two paper bags into Cheng Xiaoyu's arms. "The clothes and jewelry are all ready. Go
change quickly, we're already late."

Wen Si pushed Cheng Xiaoyu into the dressing room. Upon opening the box, she saw a black dress. Cheng Xiaoyu changed into it and looked at
herself in the dressing room mirror. The dress was quite pretty, with thin black straps and a pretty lace
top that accentuated her slender waist. The cute, slightly puffy skirt only reached mid-thigh. Although the dress
was a little sexy, it fit her quite well. However, the five-inch black high heels were half a size smaller than Cheng Xiaoyu's usual size,
making it a little difficult for her to wear them. There was also a rectangular jewelry box in the paper bag, containing a pearl necklace
and two small pearl earrings. Cheng Xiaoyu put them on in front of the mirror, then tilted her head to examine herself
before leaving the dressing room.

Wen Si snapped his fingers. "Xiaoyu, you look absolutely stunning! Let's go."

Cheng Xiaoyu tugged at her skirt a little awkwardly. "But I think it's a bit short..."

"It's alright. Women look more alluring at those kinds of banquets when they're a bit sexy." Without waiting for a reply, Wen Si pulled Cheng Xiaoyu
outside , and Cheng Xiaoyu could only stumble along behind him.

Wen Si drove incredibly fast the whole way. Cheng Xiaoyu complained, "It's just a banquet, do you have to
force me like this? What difference does it make whether I go or not?"

Wen Si said, "This banquet is quite large. More than half of the important entrepreneurs in Rongcheng are here. My
father has assigned me a task. If I tell him I didn't even get inside, he'll scold me to death."

The two rushed to the hotel. Standing at the lobby entrance, Wen Si straightened his clothes, raised his arm and looked at
Cheng Xiaoyu standing next to him. Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled and reached out to take Wen Si's arm. "Let me make this clear, I do
n't know anything. You insisted on making me come."

Wen Si said, "It's okay. Just nod and smile. If you get bored, just eat something."

Wen Si pushed open the door and went inside. The room was brightly lit and filled with the fragrance of clothes and
the soft sounds of conversation. The wonderful atmosphere made every woman look so elegant and every man look
so gentlemanly. A slight sense of timidity arose in Cheng Xiaoyu's heart, but Wen Si had already pulled her aside
to exchange pleasantries . He introduced her, saying, "This is my good friend, Miss Cheng Xiaoyu, my date tonight." The
people nodded and smiled at her, and Cheng Xiaoyu quickly smiled back.

After a while, Cheng Xiaoyu gradually adjusted and began to observe her surroundings. She noticed that
when Wen Si introduced her, he simply said she was Miss Cheng, while others introduced their date as "Miss
So Ms. So-and-so, the vice president of such-and-such company." Cheng Xiaoyu then realized that she was actually
lucky to be in such a place. The women attending the banquet were dressed in various styles, but all were beautiful. Cheng Xiaoyu looked at them one by one,
finding it even more enjoyable than looking at a fashion magazine. Cheng Xiaoyu's gaze swept around and landed on a
woman . She had a graceful figure with her hair flowing over her shoulders, and her back view was sexy and elegant... And
the back view of the man standing next to her, chatting animatedly with someone, was even more familiar—it was Yan Yu.

Ye Lan vaguely sensed someone watching her and turned around. She immediately saw
Cheng Xiaoyu in a black dress. Even with makeup, Cheng Xiaoyu's pale face and the disappointment and anger in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Ye
Lan smiled and nodded at Cheng Xiaoyu, a pleasant surprise. She never expected Cheng Xiaoyu to come today.

Ye Lan kept turning her head, and Yan Yu also glanced in her direction, only to see Cheng Xiaoyu
standing there in a black skirt and lace embroidered top, her hair permed and her face wrinkled. Yan Yu was startled.
He pushed away Ye Lan's hand from his arm, said "Excuse me," and walked over. He stood in front of Cheng Xiaoyu. "
Xiaoyu , you... came with Wen Si?"

Wen Si also saw Yan Yu. "Oh, I didn't know you were here."

Ye Lan caught up and naturally took Yan Yu's arm. "Assistant Cheng, I didn't expect to run into you here." She
then looked at Wen Si and said, "Wen Si, you've become even more handsome in the past few years. You've even started to seduce innocent women
, now it's our Ruiyu's people. We'll see if our CEO Yan approves."

Wen Si glanced at everyone's expressions and roughly understood the situation. He snorted and said, "I don't deserve such praise,
Ye Lan. I think you've almost become a shrewd old fox."

Ye Lan just smiled and didn't say anything.

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "I'm going to get something to eat. You two can chat." Then she turned and left.

Wen Si quickly grabbed her wrist, saying, "No, you're my date, I have to eat with you. I'm
hungry too, let's go eat."

Yan Yu stared intently at Wen Si and Cheng Xiaoyu standing in front of the buffet table, her expression grave. Ye Lan said, "What's wrong?
Didn't you tell your assistant you're attending the dinner with me today? She seems angry."

Yan Yu looked at Ye Lan with some annoyance, but Ye Lan met her gaze directly, her eyes sparkling with
a hint of grievance. Yan Yu frowned and looked away.

Cheng Xiaoyu poked at the cake on her small plate with her fork, staring blankly at the food on the buffet table.

Wen Si said, "If you keep poking, you'll turn it into cake puree."

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, scooped up a small piece of cake with her fork, and swallowed it with difficulty.

Wen Si said, "Yan Yu and Ye Lan are all in the past. They have absolutely nothing going on now. He
brought Ye Lan out because it was for work. He didn't tell you because he was afraid you'd overthink it..." Wen Si
stopped talking when he saw Cheng Xiaoyu's shocked expression.

Cheng Xiaoyu murmured, "Yan Yu and Ye Lan, what happened before?"

Wen Si inwardly groaned. It turned out Yan Yu hadn't been honest with Cheng Xiaoyu at all. Wen Si glanced at Yan Yu
and found that Yan Yu was also looking at him. He quickly looked away. Oh no, he'd messed up again.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt a chill in her heart. Yan Yu had lied to her. He had righteously and confidently told her that he and Ye
Lan were just high school classmates. If even that was a lie, how many other things couldn't he hide from her? Cheng Xiaoyu
was so heartbroken and disappointed that she could hardly breathe. She turned around, holding onto the dining table, and covered her mouth, her eyes reddening.
She desperately told herself not to cry, because crying would ruin her makeup, and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of so many people. She absolutely couldn't
cry.

Wen Si sighed, "Look at how much of a mouth I have! Xiaoyu, don't be like this. I'll make Yan Yu
apologize to you properly

later." Yan Yu, seeing that things weren't going well, strode over and patted Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder, saying, "
Xiaoyu , what's wrong?"

Cheng Xiaoyu wiped her eyes, pushed Yan Yu's hand away, and turned to leave. Just as Yan Yu was about to chase after her, Wen Si grabbed
him and whispered, "Hey, don't go yet. I told Xiaoyu about what you and Ye Lan talked about before. I really didn't know she
didn't know."

Yan Yu turned around and looked at Wen Si, his voice rising in anger, "Who told you to tell her?"

Wen Si said somewhat aggrievedly, "Who knew you'd keep something like this a secret?"

Yan Yu said, "Are you a damn gossipy woman? You meddle in everything. Why did you bring her
here ?"

Wen Si said, "I met her on the street. She was my female companion." "Something came up, so I brought Xiaoyu here.
Sigh, it's too late to say anything now. I think you shouldn't chase after her; it's embarrassing to argue in public
. You can try to coax her at home."

Yan Yu, still worried, followed after her, but Cheng Xiaoyu avoided him wherever he went. Yan Yu didn't
want to get into a physical altercation with her in this place. Just as he was fretting, a lively cha-cha tune suddenly started playing. Men and women
standing in various corners of the hall chatted and laughed as they rushed to the center to dance, quickly
pushing the distance between them further apart.

Cheng Xiaoyu, lost in thought, randomly found a chair and sat down. The pleasant music echoed in the hall, and the
colorful fluttered past her eyes, but Cheng Xiaoyu felt only a gray, colorless abyss around her.
Wen Si walked up to her. "Xiaoyu, let's dance."

Cheng Xiaoyu shook her head. "I can't dance."

Wen Si said, "No need to know, I'll guide you." Without another word, he pulled Cheng Xiaoyu up from her seat,
put his arm around her waist, and quickly spun her into the crowd.

Cheng Xiaoyu really couldn't dance, and kept stepping on Wen Si's feet. Wen Si didn't seem to mind, his back straight
and his dance steps as graceful as a proud peacock.

Wen Si smiled at Cheng Xiaoyu. "Your pout is so thick you could hang an oil bottle on it."

Cheng Xiaoyu glared at Wen Si, turned her face away, but her lips remained pouty.

Wen Si said, "Xiaoyu, Yan Yu and I have been buddies for years. I
swear he truly cares about you. He did date Ye Lan before, but that was so many years ago.
Didn't you ever have a crush before, Xiaoyu? He didn't tell you because he was afraid you'd overthink it. Of course, his attitude of
hiding it is wrong, he should be criticized and educated. Tonight, when you get home, make him kneel on a washboard..."

Cheng Xiaoyu turned to look at him, "Aren't you annoying? Can't you just leave me alone for a while?"

Wen Si had no choice but to shut up. He looked up at the sidelines and saw Yan Yu standing there anxiously looking in
their Ye Lan stood next to Yan Yu with her arms crossed, her eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought.

Wen Si gestured towards Yan Yu with his lip. Yan Yu knew what he meant and quickly grabbed Ye Lan's wrist, pulling her into
the center of the field.

After one dance ended, the music in the hall changed to a melodious waltz. Wen Si
gently pushed Cheng Xiaoyu's waist, and Cheng Xiaoyu involuntarily twirled in her high heels, landing gracefully in
another's arms.

Wen Si took the reluctant Ye Lan into his arms and laughed, "Old classmate, we haven't
danced ."

Ye Lan glared at him, her eyes only fixed on Yan Yu and Cheng Xiaoyu.

Wen Si danced with great enthusiasm, no matter who he was with. He said as he danced, "Stop looking, or you'll twist your neck
. Ye Lan, just shut up. What do you think you'll gain from all this moving around?..."
Before Wen Si could finish, Ye Lan stomped on his foot hard. Wen Si shut up helplessly. Fine, he wouldn't say anything more. He
was having a bad day. One woman after another gave him a cold shoulder.
The business his father wanted him to discuss hadn't even begun. Today was not a good day for him to go out.

Chapter 99 Yan Yu, the legendary ex-boyfriend,

put his arm around Cheng Xiaoyu's waist, unsure where to begin. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "This banquet is quite
important . Many prominent figures in Rongcheng's business world are here. Ye Lan said she wanted to attend, to meet more people,
so I brought her." He paused for a moment, then added, "The more people she meets, the more opportunities she'll have to close deals in the future,
which is good for the company too."

Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at Yan Yu, "How many things are you hiding from me?"

Yan Yu said, "Xiaoyu, I know I shouldn't have kept this from you, but back in high school it was just a joke
. What do kids know about liking or disliking?" What Yan Yu truly didn't want Cheng Xiaoyu to know was that Ye Lan had had an abortion for him
, so he simply kept that a secret as well. Who knew Cheng Xiaoyu would find out at such an inopportune time?

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't speak, only mechanically following Yan Yu's steps.

Yan Yu whispered again, "I'll tell you everything you want to ask when we get back tonight, little ostrich, don't be angry
."

Cheng Xiaoyu sneered inwardly. Tell me everything? Yan Yu, why should I believe you? Yan Yu continued
to coax her in his ear, but Cheng Xiaoyu's heart had already turned cold, and she couldn't hear anything he said anymore.

When the song ended, Cheng Xiaoyu grabbed Yan Yu's hand and spun him around a few times. Yan Yu was about to pull her back, but
Cheng Xiaoyu gently pulled her hand away from his. She gave Yan Yu a cold look, turned around, and left.

The music changed to a lively tango. Cheng Xiaoyu walked over to Wen Si and Ye Lan, looking at Ye Lan and saying, "I
want to talk to you."

Ye Lan smiled slightly, releasing Wen Si's hand. "Talk about what?"

"Let's talk alone."

Yan Yu also came over. "Xiaoyu, let's talk about it when we get back tonight."

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Yan Yu coldly and said, "You can stop me for a while, but can you stop me forever?" Cheng Xiaoyu's
aura was incredibly powerful at this moment, and Yan Yu was completely intimidated. Cheng Xiaoyu then turned to look at Ye Lan. "Let's go."

Ye Lan looked at Yan Yu, whose gaze held a hint of pleading. He couldn't stop Cheng Xiaoyu from
talking to Ye Lan, because that would only prove that he had something to hide. But if he had to tell Cheng Xiaoyu everything,
there was nothing worse than letting her know everything from Ye Lan.

Ye Lan hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and then nodded to Yan Yu, indicating that he should rest assured.

Yan Yu watched Cheng Xiaoyu and Ye Lan's retreating figures, his mind still filled with doubts. He knew, of course,
what Ye Lan meant to him, but he had always thought that with time she would eventually give up. He felt guilty towards Ye Lan, so
he always helped her whenever he could, not wanting to offend her unless absolutely necessary. But things
were clearly out of control now. Perhaps he had underestimated Ye Lan. The teenage Ye Lan was a shrewd and intelligent girl.
He was initially captivated by her charming face and aloof demeanor, but as he gradually saw through her, his feelings for her
faded. Coupled with the fickle nature of youth, Yan Yu quickly lost his initial enthusiasm for Ye Lan. But then,
coincidentally, she became pregnant, and the two of them remained together for over two years before slowly breaking up. And
the Ye Lan of today was clearly different from the girl he knew before; he truly couldn't understand her.

The courtyard at night finally had a touch of the cool air of late summer. Cheng Xiaoyu and Ye Lan stood face to face on the
pebble path. The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and even the most subtle expressions on their faces were clearly visible.

Ye Lan smiled. "Assistant Cheng, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said coldly, "I want to ask you how long you and Yan Yu were together in high school, why you broke up,
and what your intentions were when you joined Ruiyu?"

Ye Lan chuckled. "Asking so many questions at once, it's quite a long story. Yan Yu and I...
were together over two years. Yan Yu always said I was his high school classmate, but actually I wasn't. We weren't in the same
class, just the same grade. He pursued me so much that it caused a sensation throughout the school, and it took me more than half a year to agree to be with him. After graduating from high school, he went abroad while
I went to university, and that's when we broke up. It's really unfair of you to say I approached Yan Yu under some pretext. I was
recruited by a headhunting company, and who knew I would run into him by such a coincidence? We haven't seen each other for so many years. But
working , a lot of things from the past really come back to mind even if I don't try to think about them." Ye Lan paused here.

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "Go on, I know you're going to tell me. Do you want me to ask you?"

Ye Lan sighed, "Speaking of my past with Yan Yu, it was so sweet it could make you die of sweetness, and so bitter it could make you die of bitterness.
When we were together, a pinky swear could make us feel sweet all day long. We were each other's first time. It hurt a lot, it was
so sour, but it was also very sweet. I still remember that feeling to this day..." Cheng Xiaoyu's face
paled . She knew that Ye Lan was telling the truth. She remembered once jokingly asking Yan Yu
when he had his first time, and Yan Yu said it was in high school.

Ye Lan was satisfied with Cheng Xiaoyu's reaction and continued slowly, "Of course, there were also unhappy things. Yan
Yu was just a young
lad back then. How could he resist the temptation of that kind of thing for the first time? He kept pestering me for it. I liked him, so I was willing to give him anything. As a result, I got pregnant unexpectedly. It was the second semester of my junior year of high school. What could I do? I could only go to
the hospital for an abortion. I was in pain both physically and emotionally after the abortion. I covered my face and cried. Yan Yu hugged me and said that he
would definitely marry me in the future." Ye Lan sighed as she said this, "I remember all those things very clearly. It feels
like it was just yesterday. I believe Yan Yu hasn't forgotten either. Yan Yu is not the kind of irresponsible man. Otherwise, he
wouldn't still be so good to me now. He agrees to whatever I say."

Ye Lan's words were three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, but they had already stunned Cheng Xiaoyu, who sat down on the stone bench in a daze.

Ye Lan said, "Assistant Cheng, what else do you want to know? I'm afraid too many details will upset you."

Cheng Xiaoyu felt her throat go dry. She swallowed, but still couldn't say anything.

Ye Lan took a step closer and touched Cheng Xiaoyu's hair. "Little sister, I know you're upset right now, and I
'm not trying to make things difficult for you. But the doctor said it'll be very difficult for me to get pregnant again in this lifetime, and Yan Yu knows about it.
How do you think he'll make it up to me? What other way is there besides marrying me? I know you and he had a good relationship before, and I
understand . I've been with other men before, but after all these years, Yan Yu is still the most suitable for me
. Otherwise, God wouldn't have let us meet again. Yan Yu actually thinks the same way. He just feels a little sorry for you,
which is why he's caught in the middle. But you..." "Did he wrong you more or me more?"

Cheng Xiaoyu dodged Ye Lan's hand, stood up, and walked back blankly. So that's how it was. No wonder Yan Yu was
so evasive and ambiguous. How ridiculous, so utterly ridiculous! A forced smile appeared on Cheng Xiaoyu's lips, but
tears streamed down her face. This time, telling herself that crying would ruin her makeup was useless. Her
tears kept falling. Cheng Xiaoyu no longer cared about wearing ill-fitting high heels, wiping away her tears and running
faster and faster. She had to leave this place. She couldn't see Yan Yu again; if she saw him again tonight, she would cry herself to death.

As Cheng Xiaoyu ran from the courtyard towards the hall, she stumbled heavily on the steps. She hit them hard; her knees burned with
pain. A sharp pain shot through her nose, followed by a warm liquid flowing from her nostrils.

The double doors leading to the hall in front of her were quickly opened, and with a few hurried footsteps, Cheng Xiaoyu was
pulled into a warm embrace. The temperature and scent were so familiar they pierced her heart, but it wasn't Yan Yu.

He lifted Cheng Xiaoyu's chin and tenderly wiped the blood from her face with his sleeve. His anxious
face, reflected in Cheng Xiaoyu's tear-blurred eyes, seemed somewhat unreal. His hair was fine
and soft , his cheeks were as white as jade, his slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his clear black and white eyes were hidden
beneath two rows of eyelashes thicker than a girl's. His nose was straight with thin nostrils, and his pale lips were always
slightly pursed. His face had appeared countless times in her dreams. Cheng Xiaoyu almost wondered if she had just died
, otherwise, how could she see him?

Cheng Xiaoyu reached out and touched his cheek, her lips trembling but unable to utter a word. Only tears
streamed down her face, silently melting onto their clothes.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked terrible, sobbing uncontrollably, her eye makeup ruined, her face covered in blood from her nose.
Yet he simply gazed at her intently, as if looking at a priceless treasure. He
gently stroked Cheng Xiaoyu's hand that was resting on his cheek. "My Xiaoyu, how did you get yourself into this state, Xiaoyu..."

Yan Yu's slightly annoyed voice suddenly interrupted, "Who are you?" Before the other could answer, Yan Yu
had already pulled Cheng Xiaoyu up and into his arms. Looking down at Cheng Xiaoyu's
face, which resembled a palette of colors from crying, he was startled. "My God, what happened to you?" he said, wiping the blood from Cheng Xiaoyu's face with his suit sleeve
.

Ye Lan walked over at this moment and said, "I saw from a distance that Assistant Cheng seemed to have fallen. She must have
hit her nose. I'll take her to the bathroom to wash it off." As she spoke, she took Cheng Xiaoyu's arm.

Yan Yu put his arm around Cheng Xiaoyu's shoulder, dodging Ye Lan's hand. "No need, I'll take her." He glanced at
Cheng Xiaoyu's bleeding knee. "Can you walk?"

Cheng Xiaoyu seemed not to hear him at all, staring intently at the
man in the light gray suit. The man took a step forward, and Cheng Xiaoyu actually trembled in Yan Yu's arms. Yan Yu became
even more impatient, looking at the man and saying, "Who are you?"

The man only looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, pausing for a few seconds before saying, "Take her to wash the blood off her face first, we'll talk about
the rest later."

Yan Yu said no more, picked up Cheng Xiaoyu horizontally, and went through the side door into the corridor to find the restroom.

The man watched Yan Yu's retreating figure with Cheng Xiaoyu in his arms thoughtfully, his eyes unreadable.

Ye Lan sized up the man. He had an arrogant demeanor and was excessively handsome. Ye Lan asked, "
May I ask who you are?"

The man's dark, deep eyes swept over her. "And who are you?"

Ye Lan snorted and pushed open the door to enter the hall.

The man then walked through the side door that Yan Yu had opened earlier and quickly disappeared.

Chapter 100 Bewilderment (h)

Yan Yu carried Cheng Xiaoyu to the sink counter, lifted her head, and wiped her kitten-
like face with a wet tissue. After wiping, he treated the wound on her knee. Cheng Xiaoyu hissed in pain and pulled away. She lowered her head and
said, "Let's go, I don't want to be here."

Yan Yu said, "Your nose isn't bleeding anymore?"

"No."

Yan Yu asked again, "What did Ye Lan say to you just now?" Cheng

Xiaoyu jumped off the counter. "She didn't say anything, Yan Yu, I want to go home."

Yan Yu grabbed Cheng Xiaoyu's wrist. "Who is that man?"

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't answer and walked directly towards the bathroom door.

Yan Yu grabbed the doorknob first. "He wouldn't happen to be your ex-boyfriend, would he?"

Cheng Xiaoyu's expression changed slightly. She tried to pry Yan Yu's hand away, but Yan Yu wouldn't let go. "Cheng Xiaoyu,
explain yourself!"

When Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't pry him away, she actually lowered her head and bit Yan Yu's hand. Yan Yu cried out in pain.
Cheng Xiaoyu pushed open the door and tried to run out, but stopped abruptly when she saw the figure opposite her.

The tall man leaned casually against the wall, arms crossed, looking down at the pattern on the carpet. He stood opposite
the bathroom , and he must have heard everything they had said.

Cheng Xiaoyu turned to leave, but he kept staring at the ground without looking up. "Cheng Xiaoyu, don't you
want to say a single word to me?"

Cheng Xiaoyu turned back, her eyes already wet. "Chu Chen, what exactly do you want?"

The man looked up at Cheng Xiaoyu and slowly said, "I'm still your brother, at least you should greet me when you meet
."

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at him silently. Yan Yu never expected such a turn of events. This man was
Cheng Xiaoyu 's brother? He had never heard Cheng Xiaoyu mention it before. Yan Yu's gaze shifted from Cheng Xiaoyu's face to the man's
. Upon closer inspection, their features did indeed resemble each other by three or four points. But what kind of brother and sister would act like this when they met?

Cheng Xiaoyu and the man stared at each other for over ten seconds without speaking. Finally, Cheng Xiaoyu spoke up
, "Yan Yu, go wait for me upstairs. I'll just say a few words to him and then come over."

Yan Yu asked, "Is he really your brother?"

Cheng Xiaoyu's lips curled into a smile. "Yes, without a doubt."

Yan Yu sat on the steps of the courtyard waiting for Cheng Xiaoyu to come out. He sent Ye Lan a text message saying that he had taken Cheng Xiaoyu
home and that she should take a taxi home herself. Ye Lan didn't reply. Yan Yu put away his phone and thought again about
his attitude when he spoke to Chu Chen earlier. If he really was Cheng Xiaoyu's brother, he didn't want to leave a bad
impression .

Ten minutes later, Cheng Xiaoyu hurriedly came out. Yan Yu stood up from the steps. "Finished?
Where's your brother?"

Cheng Xiaoyu wiped the tears from her cheeks, took Yan Yu's hand, and said, "Let's go back."

Sitting in the car, Cheng Xiaoyu continued to look out the window, occasionally sobbing. Yan Yu asked her why her brother had a different
surname and what Ye Lan had said earlier. Cheng Xiaoyu just shook her head and said, "Don't ask yet, my head hurts a little."

Back home, Cheng Xiaoyu went upstairs to take a shower. Yan Yu could only quickly shower downstairs and
wait for Cheng Xiaoyu in the bedroom. Yan Yu didn't know what Ye Lan and Cheng Xiaoyu had talked about. He hesitated whether to call Ye
Lan, but then decided against it. He was afraid Ye Lan would use this as an excuse to make a scene.

A while later, Cheng Xiaoyu came out of the bathroom, wearing a pale yellow nightgown, her wet hair
slightly wavy, her eyes slightly red and swollen, giving her a pitiful look.

Yan Yu attentively took a dry towel and helped Cheng Xiaoyu dry her hair. Cheng Xiaoyu sat on the edge of the bed and let Yan Yu dry it
. At this moment, she was so greedy for Yan Yu's gentleness, because she didn't know how much longer she could have this gentleness.

Yan Yu dried Cheng Xiaoyu's hair and then pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her
red and swollen . "Why are you crying like this? What did Ye Lan say to you? Little ostrich, you can't believe what she says. She
's sometimes too cunning."

Cheng Xiaoyu lowered her eyes and said, "She said you two were together for more than two years, and then you broke up because you went abroad."

If it were any other time, Cheng Xiaoyu would definitely have a lot of questions to ask Yan Yu, but now she really didn't dare
to ask. The truth was too cruel, laid bare. What would she do now? Yan Yu owed Ye Lan. If
a woman lost the right to be a mother, her happiness for life was likely ruined. It
was normal for him to feel guilty, avoid the situation, and be unable to be ruthless. It was just that her role was too awkward. If she were proud enough, she should have turned and walked away. But
how could she be proud now? She had run away to Rongcheng, thousands of miles away, just to escape Chu Chen.
To erase the marks he had left on her body and heart, she was willing to pay any price. She didn't even
mind having a one-night stand with a man who was somewhat presentable at a bar. But why, when her worst fear came true
, did she become alone again? It all seemed like a joke played by fate, drawing a huge
circle , bringing her back to the starting point. A few months ago, she was so certain that Yan Yu was hers. Now she suddenly realized that he
might very well belong to someone else. Cheng Xiaoyu knew she definitely didn't have the courage to face Chu Chen. Now, she did
n't know what to do.

Yan Yu was somewhat skeptical. "You're crying like this because of this?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said, "I cried because I'm sad that you kept everything from me."

Yan Yu hugged Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, I swear I only ever wanted to be with you. This
was definitely my fault. I'm sorry, little ostrich, I made you suffer."

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't speak. She looked at the silly ostrich doll sitting on the edge of the bed. Why could it
always that silly expression? She wished she really was an ostrich, that she could bury her head and
not see anything.

Yan Yu asked again, "Why have I never heard you mention your brother? Doesn't he share your surname?"

"He takes his mother's surname."

"...He doesn't have the same mother as you?"

"No, he's an illegitimate child, which isn't something to be proud of, so I haven't told you."

Yan Yu naturally still had many questions, but seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's dejected expression, he didn't want
to keep pressing her. He decided to ask her about it later. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I
handled Ye Lan's matter poorly and hurt you. I promise I won't do it again."

Cheng Xiaoyu remained silent.

Yan Yu continued, "I was with Ye Lan in my second year of high school. I was too young then and didn't know
the consequences of my actions. Ye Lan..." Yan Yu hesitated, unsure whether to reveal everything. He figured Ye Lan hadn't
told Cheng Xiaoyu everything about her past, otherwise, given Cheng Xiaoyu's personality, how could she have kept quiet? On one hand, he feared
that if he didn't confess honestly, things might get complicated later; Ye Lan was a woman not to be underestimated.
On the other hand, he worried that if he told Cheng Xiaoyu now, she would
n't be able to handle so much shock. She already seemed very unwell, and if he dropped this bombshell, Cheng Xiaoyu might directly say she wanted to break up with him. He really didn't know
what to do. Yan Yu

thought it over and over again, and carefully looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's face before speaking cautiously, "In the second year of high school, Ye Lan
..."

But Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly pushed Yan Yu down onto the bed and kissed him forcefully.

"Xiaoyu?" Yan Yu's mouth hurt from being hit by Cheng Xiaoyu's teeth. Cheng Xiaoyu then
tugged at his vest, her face scrunched up with a mixture of anxiety and blankness. Her hair tickled his cheek, and her
soft chest heaved against him. Her delicate little feet stretched out and dangled on the bedside table
, searching for the lamp switch. After pressing it a few times with her toes, she finally snapped the lamp off.

The room was plunged into darkness. Cheng Xiaoyu propped herself up, took off her nightgown, and unhooked her bra, tossing it
aside. When her delicate breasts brushed against Yan Yu's chest, Yan Yu let out a muffled
groan. He rolled over, pinning Cheng Xiaoyu beneath him, quickly kicking off his pants. One
hand kneaded her soft breasts, while the other slipped inside her panties, scraping and probing her delicate opening. He kissed her sweet lips, whispering, "Little
ostrich , don't be angry with me, I love you."

Cheng Xiaoyu moaned uncontrollably beneath his lips, her pale body writhing and
struggling Her legs wrapped around his waist like vines, her tight opening gripping his inserted fingers.

Yan Yu forcefully spread Cheng Xiaoyu's legs, pressing her onto the bed, and inserted another finger into her cherry-red
slit, forcefully dilating and thrusting. Yan Yu disliked making love in the dark; he preferred watching Cheng Xiaoyu's
ecstatic . He leaned forward and turned on the lamp again. Cheng Xiaoyu, illuminated by the light, let out a soft moan and covered her face.
Yan Yu's two fingers explored Cheng Xiaoyu's vaginal opening, moving up, down, left, and right, occasionally revealing the slight wriggling of
the tender, . The two adorable little petals trembled slightly at the entrance, like a
small flower swaying in a storm, making one want to ravage it even more forcefully.

Yan Yu supported Cheng Xiaoyu's buttocks with one hand, lifting her lower body high, and extended his soft, hot tongue
to lick the slightly erect clitoris. The licking made Cheng Xiaoyu tremble all over, whimpering like a kitten. Yan Yu then
changed methods, using his lips and tongue to bite and tease the delicate, sensitive clitoris. Each light bite from his sharp teeth sent a jolt through
Cheng Xiaoyu a painful yet numbing pleasure. Cheng Xiaoyu's fair hands twisted until her knuckles turned white on
the sheets , her high, firm breasts heaving sensually, a tempting blush spreading across her face.
Yan Yu's tongue shifted its focus, sliding down the wet, red clitoris to the entrance, licking the two
cute little petals, then probing and piercing that deep, sweet place. Cheng Xiaoyu groaned and
sobbed, gently rubbing her two delicate, erect nipples, her legs clamping Yan Yu's head, her hips twisting in an
extremely alluring way, her breath coming in short gasps, beads of fragrant sweat on her skin. "Yan Yu, I want it, um, give it to me..."

Yan Yu's tongue tingled slightly from being gripped by those incredibly tight flesh, he drank a mouthful of nectar,
and before he could swallow, drops of it slid down his sexy chin. He slowly withdrew his tongue from that
watery little slit, "Baby, what do you want?"

"I want you, um~" "Yan Yu, I want you."

Cheng Xiaoyu's flushed face as she kneaded her nipples was so incredibly sexy that Yan Yu lost all willpower to
continue teasing her. He knelt on the bed, lifted Cheng Xiaoyu's legs and placed them on his arms,
thrusting his penis forcefully between her trembling labia.

Cheng Xiaoyu let out a long, comfortable sigh, reaching out to grab the cool headboard railing, burying her face in her arms and
breathing silently. Yan Yu began to thrust into her heavily, making her beautiful breasts heave up and down. He leaned down and
turned her face, buried between the sheets and his arms, to kiss her passionately. "Little ostrich, is it okay?"

Cheng Xiaoyu wouldn't answer him, but instead slightly raised her head and kissed him back. Her tongue darted into his mouth
, licking everywhere. Her vagina was as tight as layers of vibrant velvet, drawing
him . She breathed heavily in his ear, "Harder, deeper, Yan Yu, please, mmm..."
