On the other end of the line, Shen Qingyue heard a muffled thud, and then the call was abruptly disconnected. When she called back, the voicemail informed her that the person’s phone was switched off. Did they break their phone? She hoped they were okay…

Chen Ying did not notice her phone screen had gone dark. Meeting Chen Song’s gaze, she quietly buried her head again, embarrassed and wiping her nosebleed.

Chen Song crouched down, helping her back onto the bed, his brow furrowed.

“How did you fall? Are you dizzy? Where did you fall?”

Chen Ying shook her head, remaining silent and avoiding eye contact.

Recognizing her resistance to him, Chen Song stepped back and maintained some distance. He handed her two tissues. “Let’s go downstairs for dinner.

Mom and Dad are waiting for you.”

Accepting the tissues, Chen Ying covered her nose and remained silent for a while. She awkwardly said, “I’m sorry about last time…” She hadn’t expected herself to lose control like that. She remembered that Chen Song had someone in his heart! He had maintained his purity all these years, but now she… She recalled the scattered fragments of that night… the mature scent of his masculine body… the well-defined abdominal muscles… the sensual, husky moans…

Chen Ying felt her nosebleed returning. It was just too hot and dry today, and the nosebleed seemed never-ending. She had always seen Chen Song as refined, scholarly, and never imagined he had such a body when he took off his clothes. Could this be why he started a fitness club? But wasn’t that just a hobby? His physique was undeniably professional…

She bit her tongue, attempting to clear her thoughts. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like she wasn’t human anymore! She had taken advantage of someone, and now she was thinking about such indecent things!

Chen Song gazed at her with an affectionate and gentle expression, a hint of a smile in his eyes. “It’s not your fault. You don’t need to apologize to me.”

Lowering her head, Chen Ying did not notice his attitude. “You don’t have to pretend not to care. I know you have someone you like, and now with me… You must be disgusted, right? I’m truly sorry… I…

She rambled on, not knowing what else to say. She thought that if she had slept with a man she didn’t like, she would feel like dying, especially when there was someone else in her heart.

Sitting down beside her, Chen Song spoke openly and honestly. “No, it’s not like that. The person I like is…”

“Chen Song!” Chen Ying interrupted him. “Let’s pretend that night never happened. I won’t bring it up again, and I won’t tell anyone. You can rest assured, except for Qingyue, no one else knows.”

During the days at Shen Qingyue’s house, she had been contemplating how to handle her relationship with Chen Song in the future. She hoped they could go back to the way things were. He could continue loving his crush, and she could go find her little wolf dog. They were never meant to be together, so there was no need to force it.

Chen Song’s gaze darkened. “You… wish for this?”

Chen Ying nodded. “Yes.”

Chen Song remained silent for a while, then stood up. “Well then… let’s go downstairs for dinner. I’ll head out first.” With that, he left in long strides, closing the door with more force than usual.

Though he did not say anything further, Chen Ying could deeply sense his anger. But what was he angry about? Was it because she had challenged his male pride and hurt him? Or did he feel tainted, like he hadn’t remained pure for his beloved? Chen Ying shook her head, unable to comprehend, and decided not to dwell on it. Her affair with Chen Song had come to an end, and she had finally regained her vitality. In the afternoon, she arranged to meet Shen Qingyue for some shopping.

They arrived at a jewelry store.

“Qingyue, my dear sister, I’m fully revived now, and I’m in a great mood. Anything you fancy today, just pick it out, I’ll foot the bill!” Chen Ying was incredibly excited.

Shen Qingyue chuckled. “If I choose a million-dollar piece of jewelry, will you still buy it?”

Chen Ying was resolute. “I will! I’ll save up my pocket money for a few months for you! How’s that for generosity?”

Shen Qingyue laughed, “Alright then, I hope that in a few months, someone won’t come looking to mooch off me for a meal!”

The store attendant recognized Shen Qingyue and approached them with a beaming smile. “Miss Shen, what would you like to see today?”

“We’re just browsing,” Shen Qingyue replied.

“Very well,” the attendant stepped aside.

Shen Qingyue rarely attended socialite gatherings, and since her rebirth, she had been busy with family matters, as well as resolving issues with Oin Zhen. When she thought about it, it had been over a year since she last bought herself some new jewelry. After looking around, she was captivated by a discreet diamond necklace. She was about to speak when a flattering voice came from behind her, “Sister Jiuer, I just saw this diamond necklace in a magazine not long ago. It’s the latest creation by the renowned designer Hua Tang- high-end and elegant, quite valuable. I think it would suit you perfectly…
