“I’m back.” A deep voice rang out.

Xia Wan immediately put away the silver needles in her hand.

Looking up at the newcomer, her eyes lit up, “You’re back!”

Xia Wan leaned against the wall, one hand still tightly grasped by the other person, but her excitement couldn’t be concealed.

Chen MO, however, stared at Xia Wan seriously, “What was that situation just

“You…” Chen MO said, raising his chin towards the direction of Jiang Lu and Xia Ye, “What’s your relationship with him?”

Seeing Chen MO speak through gritted teeth, Xia Wan asked with a hint of teasing, “What do you think our relationship could be?”

Chen MO’s face darkened even more, “Did he bully you? Tell me, and I’ll get revenge for you ! ”

Xia Wan blinked and then smiled again, “Why would you think I’m someone who can be easily bullied?”

“I thought he and that Xia Ye were together, and I assumed…” Chen MO muttered, seemingly under the impression that Xia Ye had brought someone to bully Xia Wan.

Xia Wan grabbed Chen Mo’s hand and started walking toward a car parked nearby.

“Don’t worry! With Xia Ye’s brains, she’s far from being able to bully me!”

Chen MO lightly flicked Xia Wan’s nose, as a light punishment for making him worried earlier.

From a distance, Xia Ye saw Xia Wan and Chen MO getting into the car together. She instantly brushed off Jiang Lu’s hand that was holding her back.

She sneered, ‘Why are you playing the hero? Your beauty has already thrown herself into someone else’s arms!”

Xia Ye thought her words would enrage Jiang Lu, but the smile on his face seemed to chill her even more.

‘You. What are you laughing at?” Xia Ye stepped back instinctively.

Jiang Lu’s eyes slightly narrowed, his smile unchanged, “A woman shouldn’t be too clever for her own good, not least of all a woman like you…”

Leaving Xia Ye without a response, Jiang Lu turned and walked towards another alley.

Xia Ye was left wondering, “What does he mean by ‘a woman like me’ and ‘too clever for her own good’?”

Her anger met with no response.

Several passersby looked at Xia Ye strangely, and she realized she had become a laughingstock.

Embarrassed, she covered her face with her hand and ran in the opposite direction.

“How’s it going? Did the person come back?” A young man with a buzz cut appeared in the corner, casually tossing a cigarette.

Jiang Lu caught the cigarette and put it in his mouth, taking a lighter from the young man’s pocket.

“Yeah.” He lit the cigarette and responded vaguely.

“Are you sure it’s him?” The buzz-cut young man also lit a cigarette, taking a deep puff before asking again.

Jiang Lu raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean? Do you think I got the wrong person at this stage?”

The young man laughed awkwardly, “No, it’s just that he doesn’t seem that vicious…”

“People aren’t always what they seem,” Jiang Lu immediately retorted.

“Alright! There’s nothing left to do here, you go back first…

“And remember, keep a close watch on that document, don’t let him slip away and cause trouble tor me!”

After giving a few instructions, Jiang Lu waved the young man off.

He turned back to look in the direction where Xia Wan and Chen MO had disappeared, “Sorry, Xia Wan, it seems you’re just unlucky with the people you meet!”

Jiang Lu then fiercely stamped out the half-smoked cigarette under his foot.

“Achoo!” Xia Wan sneezed, startling Chen Mo.

He immediately took off his coat and covered her, “Are you cold? You’re dressed so lightly in this weather…”

Xia Wan pushed his coat away, “I’m a doctor, I know whether I’m sick or not.

“It’s just a sneeze, don’t be so worried!”

Chen MO paused for a moment, then took his coat back, “I guess I’m just too worried. ”

Xia Wan, noticing Chen Mo’s concern, thought for a moment before asking, “Did something happen while you were away?

Her question seemed to spark something in Chen MO’s eyes.

He firmly held Xia Wan’s hand and after a while said, “I have something I need to discuss with you.”

Xia Wan nodded, her intuition telling her that something was off about Chen

MO’s return..
