"It's just me overthinking and making myself depressed."
"How long until the gathering? Can I leave now?" Shen Lan suddenly felt tired, wanting to go back for a good sleep. Perhaps this way, her mood would improve.
Feeling Shen Lan's mood, Cheng Yanqing was quite heartbroken, yet he didn't know what to say.
He glanced at the time on his wristwatch and suggested gently, "There are still half an hour left till the gathering. If you want to go back, I can have my assistant take you home."
"Or perhaps you can rest in a room for a little while, and I'll call you when it's time."
Just as Cheng Yanqing was about to stand up and leave, a man's voice came over, "Cheng Yanqing, so this is your new lover, no wonder you love no one but your ex-wife. Your standards are indeed high."
"You're not easily impressed by ordinary women." This man was none other than Cheng Yanqing's sworn enemy. He had never met Shen Lan before, but upon seeing her today assumed she was Cheng's new love interest.
