Chen Xueru chuckled and thought for a moment, "Suyan, didn't Nuan tell you I have a child with Tang Shuwén, he's your good brother."

Suyan curled his lips in approval as he looked at her. "You could've kept it from me. You could've told me when I was already deeply involved, and then I would've been unable to extricate myself either. Why did you tell me"

"I don't have that kind of vanity. Although I haven't experienced the feeling of being pursued by others, I don't want to hold them back," Chen Xueru said sincerely. "Suyan, now that you know, there's no need for me to say more."

Their situations were clear to everyone.

Suyan smiled. Ye Feimo had told him some things about Tang Shuwén and Chen Xueru, and to be honest, it was a bit of a blow. He hadn't expected her to belong to Tang Shuwén, but then again, Chen Xueru's behavior made him look at her anew.

She could have kept it from him entirely, or perhaps use him to achieve whatever goal she had in mind, but instead, she didn't. She told him everything so quickly and frankly.

In this day and age, encountering a woman who's as genuine as her is truly rare, especially since she has been in the entertainment industry for several years. It's even more remarkable.

She has seen all sorts of dirtiness and has been suppressed and humiliated, yet she still lives so authentically. Suyan was very impressed with that.

The car arrived at Chen Xueru's building entrance. It was a twelve-story apartment complex; Chen Xueru lived on the sixth floor. He helped her open the car door. Chen Xueru’s legs were somewhat weak, and she staggered a few steps. Suyan hurriedly supported her and held her close to help her steady herself.

"Be careful."

"Thank you!"

Suyan gripped her shoulders; these delicate shoulders had borne so much, hence their fragility yet resilience. He truly liked her very much, perhaps saying that he was smitten with her at the cinema might be a bit exaggerated.

After spending a few hours with her, he genuinely started to have feelings for her.

"Xueru, you should know that your honesty just now made me like you even more. I'm certain that my heart beating for you is not by chance or impulse. Although I don't know much about what happened between you and Shuwen, I wouldn't compete with my brother over a woman.

But since you don’t like him either, he doesn’t like you, the child isn’t an issue, so would we be competing on equal terms"

Chen Xueru was taken aback. Su Ran smiled gallantly and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Although I live life casually, I never make promises lightly. Once I do promise something, I will definitely keep it."

The路燈下的蘇然，英俊瀟灑，風度翩翩，白月光在他身上灑下一身溫潤的光，彷彿從哪兒走來的白馬王子，溫潤如玉。

Under the street lamp, Su Ran was handsome and charming, exuding a graceful demeanor. The moonlight cast upon him a warm glow as if he were a prince on horseback, elegant and refined.

He was a wonderful man.

A cool breeze blew in, her body alternated between being cold and hot, and she came to her senses. Chen Xueru spoke calmly, "Su Ran, I want to tell you that I might not be able to give you what you're looking for. For me, my son is everything. His wishes are mine too. As you know, the Tang family wants me to marry Tang Shuwen and he doesn't oppose it. My son really hopes that I can marry him and give him a home. Therefore, I'm very sorry."

Su Ran smiled lightly, "Why do you reject me so thoroughly"

"I’m sorry!"

"You should leave yourself an escape route; I could be your support," Su Ran said sincerely. He was deeply saddened by being rejected so harshly after developing feelings for a woman for the first time.

Heartbroken...

"This isn't fair to you, but eventually you will understand." Chen Xueru stated, "Knowing full well that it’s impossible and still giving someone hope, making them wait in vain, I can’t bear doing such a thing."

“But is this fair for you”

"I think it's quite fair. Regardless of how the future unfolds, Tang Shuwen gave me an angel who saved my life. Whether as repayment or giving my son a complete home, I believe it’s fair enough. It doesn’t matter," she smiled and added, "Su Ran, actually, friends can also be each other's support."

"You're sure about this, no room for regret" Su Ran teased, "Don't come crying to me later. I won't turn back then."

Chen Xueru smiled readily and nodded.

Su Ran opened his arms and sighed, "Miss Chen, please give a heartbroken man a hug."

Chen Xueru hugged him without reservation.

Su Ran held her tightly, somewhat reluctant, "I really like you very much."

"Thank you for your affection," Chen Xueru said with a smile. Su Ran got into the car and waved to say goodbye, making a gesture as if he were calling someone on the phone. Chen Xueru nodded, and only then did Su Ran leave.

She sighed in relief but felt her body growing hotter. She hadn't drunk anything strange just now, had she Recalling that mixed drink, Chen Xueru cursed inwardly; this was a miscalculation indeed. As soon as she thought of going upstairs, Tang Shuwen appeared before her with an ominous expression.

She was slightly taken aback and grabbed the collar of her shirt. Whenever she saw him, she felt inexplicably afraid, and involuntarily recoiled. Tang Shuwen strode over with a menacing look on his face, suddenly grabbing Chen Xueru's hand and pulling her into the apartment.

"Tang Shuwen, what are you doing" Chen Xueru cried out in alarm, trying to shake him off but was dragged further inside. Once they entered the elevator, she wanted to break free even more, but無奈他抓得很緊，她根本就冇辦法甩開他

she found it impossible as he held on tightly.

"Let me go!" Still feeling warm from earlier, Chen Xueru felt uncomfortable being so forcefully restrained by him and her face flushed red.

It took a long time to reach the sixth floor. Tang Shuwen glared coldly at her, "Open the door."

Chen Xueru stood stubbornly, refusing to comply.

Tang Shuwuen suddenly scooped her up, turning her around and pressing her against the wall which made Chen Xueru feel dizzy. Just as she tried to regain her balance, a shadow fell over her; Tang Shuwen had already planted a hard kiss on her lips.

Chen Xueru was shocked and flustered, waving her hands to hit his shoulders, but Tang Shuwén remained indifferent; these hits were painless for him, as if he had no sensation at all.

"Wuu..." She opened her mouth to speak, only to have him force himself into her teeth. Tang Shuwén forced Chen Xueru to endure his sudden kiss. Normally a gentle man, he was now extremely domineering and wouldn't let her resist, plundering her sweetness儘情地掠奪她的甜蜜改為：plundering her sweetness without restraint.

Suddenly, Tang Shuwén stepped back, his lip corner bitten by Chen Xueru, blood seeping out. He flashed a predatory gaze, making Chen Xueru feel fearful and worried that he might hit her.

His expression looked extremely terrifying as if about to explode at any moment, with his fists clenching loudly. Chen Xueru was very afraid, her heart pounding wildly, tense enough to sweat profusely.

The atmosphere between the two of them was abnormally tense.

Tang Shuwén wiped away the blood from his lip corner and coldly narrowed his eyes; it was the first time Chen Xueru saw him reveal such a cruel gaze.

"Open the door!" Tang Shuwén enunciated each word coldly.

Chen Xueru took out her keys from her bag and opened the door.

The moment the door was open, Tang Shuwén pushed her in. She had already entered the room when he followed closely behind, slamming the door shut forcefully.

"What exactly do you want" Chen Xueru asked, unable to endure it any longer as she tried hard to control her temper.

Tang Shuwén grabbed her wrist and suddenly held her down on the sofa. After suppressing his anger for several hours, he was now at breaking point. "Where exactly did you go Who were you with"

He had never been this furious before; Chen Xueru actually deceived him.

Kasablanca was a rather chaotic bar where the heads of criminal gangs frequently visited, and accidents often occurred there. It was so late when she said she was at Kasablanca with friends that he became very worried. After Xiao Nian fell asleep, he drove to Kasablanca to look for her only to find out that no one was there.

He called Chen Xueru's phone again but it was turned off. Tang Shuwén couldn't control his anger; she clearly wanted to avoid him. So, he simply waited for her under her apartment building and ended up waiting for several hours straight.lowly curled up on the sofa and fell asleep. Warming stroked her youthful face with care and affection. After turning off the lights, Warming sat at the end of the couch, gazing out at the faint stars...
