Zhang Yuxuan could be considered quite ruthless to say such words under these circumstances. His intention was simply to make Liu Siyan give up on Xiaofan once and for all.

If he could sever the bond between the two, then with the opportunity of prolonged contact with Liu Siyan, he would have plenty of chances to win her over.

Zhang Yuxuan had long seen that the relationship between Liu Siyan and Xiaofan was not going well. Although he hadn't pried into any insider details, from the surface, it seemed Ye Xiaofan definitely did something to wrong Liu Siyan. He also understood Liu Siyan's complex emotions. If he put in a little more effort and made Liu Siyan admit she no longer liked Ye Xiaofan, then all these plans would unfold exactly as he wished.

Now, Zhang Yuxuan quietly watched Liu Siyan, waiting for her answer...

She cared about him, and the more she cared, the more she wanted to help him out of his predicament. But the more it was like this, the more chips Zhang Yuxuan held in his hand.

He said he could get Xiaofan out within three days, and it wasn't just idle talk. The trial was to begin tomorrow, so as long as he found Huang Shanshan before the trial, there wouldn't be any problem.

By then, even if he got Ye Xiaofan out, Liu Siyan would owe him a favor, and if she admitted in his presence that she no longer liked him, his status would naturally rise.

Even more insidiously, Zhang Yuxuan was secretly recording. By then, as long as he played the recording of Liu Siyan's admission of not liking Ye Xiaofan in front of Xiaofan, it would be perfect.

"I'm full, I... I'll head back first."

There was no immediate response. Apparently, Liu Siyan's mind was in chaos, unable to make the best judgment.

"Wait, Siyan..."

"Hmm? What else do you want?"

"I know you need time to consider, but Ye Xiaofan doesn't have any more time. The trial is starting tomorrow."

"I... about him..."

Say it, just say it out loud.

'Bang'

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a man briskly walked in. Both were somewhat surprised and looked over.

"Xiaofan?"

"Ye Xiaofan?"

"Yo, really? I haven't even been convicted yet, and you're out dining with another man." Seeing Liu Siyan safe, Xiaofan let out a heavy sigh of relief. He leaned close to take a look at the food on the table: "Wow, it looks so delicious."

"No, it's not what you think... I, I..." At this moment, Liu Siyan's heart was even more chaotic. Why was he here? Could it be that he's off the hook now? If so, she should be happy, but his earlier words made her desperately want to clarify that there was nothing between her and Zhang Yuxuan.

"What about me? Are you full? Heading back? You didn't even bring your phone, had me searching everywhere. Uh... President Zhang, you don't mind, do you?"

"You... How did you..."

"It was a misunderstanding; once cleared up, I naturally got out, let's go..."

"Huh? Hey, what are you doing? Let go, I can walk myself."

Before Liu Siyan could stand straight, Xiaofan grabbed her small hand and led her out, leaving a shocked Zhang Yuxuan behind.

Indeed, Xiaofan's sudden appearance completely disrupted his plans, but now wasn't the time to be angry about this. Who exactly was this Ye Xiaofan? How did he manage to get out? It was an ironclad case, yet he turned it around?

Of course, if he had ways to get him out, then others must have that capability too. But aside from this, how did he know Liu Siyan was here? From school, she hadn't told Liu Siyan where to go, and she hadn't used her phone since they got in, so notifying anyone was impossible. Yet, this Ye Xiaofan could quickly find the place accurately. If he were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be possible. Apparently, this love rival was not as simple as imagined.

"Let go, let go..."

"Why did you come looking for him? Didn't I say to trust me?"

"I couldn't care less if you died, what's it got to do with you if I came out to have a meal with a friend?"

Strangely, whenever it was just the two of them, Liu Siyan couldn't help but lose her temper with Xiaofan, always unwilling to lower her head in front of him.

"What's so good about meals? I'll treat you to meals. Get in the car..."

"I have my own car..."

"Leave it here, I'll take you back. There's something I want to talk to you about..."

"Not going back..."

"Liu Siyan, if you keep this up, I'll really get mad..." Xiaofan suddenly put on a stern face.

Seeing Xiaofan's angry face, Liu Siyan realized she might've been going too far.

"I said I don't want to go back; I don't want my dad to hear us arguing. Let's go somewhere else to talk..." Liu Siyan's voice softened a bit as she turned back to look at her car.

And Xiaofan sighed in his heart, slowly driving in front to lead the way.

After finding her phone, Liu Siyan first saw a heap of missed calls from both Xiaofan and Chen Mengying. It seemed they were genuinely worried about her coming out.

Then, Liu Siyan also noticed the school's Weibo post clarifying the matter, and news outlets posting content as well. Capital University promptly restored Xiaofan's name. Seemed like everything concluded perfectly.

But Liu Siyan knew, this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface; there had to be a lot of insider stories. However, what Xiaofan wanted to talk to her about likely wasn't this issue.

They drove their two cars back to the house Xiaofan had bought earlier.

"Want something to drink?"

"No, I'm full. Just say whatever you want..."

"Are you really so unwilling to stay with me?"

"..." Turning her head aside, Liu Siyan didn't answer. If she denied it, he'd be hurt, wouldn't he? Not denying would just let him have his way.

"Breaking up with you in the past was my mistake. Up till now, I just want to tell you the whole story about what happened back then, although..."

"Now you want to say it? I don't wanna hear it." Liu Siyan said angrily, pouting.

"Stop making a fuss, okay?"

"Who's fussing with you? Who has the leisure to fuss around with you? Fine, you want to talk, right? Before you start, let me ask first: Have you and Chen Mei'Er done that sort of thing..."

"Huh? What?"

"You know... that thing between a man and a woman."

"I... um, we did."

He admitted it, Xiaofan admitted it helplessly. In his world of feelings, some things can be white lies of goodwill, but on this matter, denying it would just be blatant deceit.
