An Yirou had come specifically to find Su Shen.
After all, she had finally managed to cling to a rich second-generation man, and it seemed like she couldn't go a day without clinging to Su Shen, making sure he and Yun Zhiyi didn't get too close.
Xiang Man: That snake An Yirou came over here, probably ready to cause a scene. Be careful, Zhiyi—Su Shen is likely to back her up.
Yun Zhiyi glanced at the message and put away her phone.
So, An Yirou wanted to make a scene? If she dared to blow things up here, it wouldn't end well for her!
This was not the same as causing trouble in the outside world; the owner of this auction house was a very influential person, and not just anyone could come here and act out. Some high-profile socialites had been put in their place here in the past, and An Yirou was merely a fake socialite barely scraping into high society on the Yun family's coattails.
Yet An Yirou had lost sight of her status and, after living in the Yun family long enough, she actually started to think of herself as a legitimate heiress!
If things got out of hand, she would be nothing more than a shameful mistress, and that wouldn't end well for her.
"Zhiyi, I've got the hotel room booked. Let me take you there to rest."
Before Yun Zhiyi could respond, Su Shen was already approaching her with a room key in hand.
She hadn't even opened her mouth to speak when a familiar voice rang out from afar.
"Dear Brother Shen, so this is where you are!" She called out with unmistakable affection.
An Yirou, in her high heels, hurried over, looking all soft and delicate. "Sister, I came to find Brother Shen. I have something important to discuss with him… alone."
An Yirou was outright asking for him as if she was about to snatch him away!
Yun Zhiyi, pretending to be oblivious to their affair, looked at An Yirou with a cool gaze, her tone intentionally laced with jealousy.
"He's my fiancé, An Yirou. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be coming to him so late at night?"
"Are you really so shameless, little sister, that you're here to seduce your brother-in-law? Aren't you afraid of people laughing at you?"
Her words struck a nerve, and An Yirou's face fell.
But she held back.
After all, with Yun Zhiyi still alive, she was the rightful daughter of the Yun family!
She and Su Shen were sneaking around, and she had even ended up pregnant. If Yun Zhiyi found out, she'd be kicked out of the Yun family in an instant.
She had put in painstaking effort over the years, listening to her mother's advice to worm her way into Su Shen's life while Yun Zhiyi was abroad. She was on the brink of marrying into wealth and couldn't afford to mess it up now.
Suppressing her anger, An Yirou forced a gentle smile.
"Sister, you must misunderstand me! Brother-in-law is indeed a wonderful man and one of the most eligible bachelors in the city, but he's your man, so how could I dare try to steal him? I came here this late because I really have some important business to discuss with him."
"Oh? And if you're not after him, how can you prove it?" Yun Zhiyi asked.
"I-I swear!" An Yirou raised her hand.
Yun Zhiyi's voice grew sharper. "Swearing is the most meaningless thing."
An Yirou, still refusing to give up, said, "Sister, I truly just admire him and never planned on sharing his bed. Please believe me!"
"Fine," Yun Zhiyi said, appearing to relent.
She looked at Su Shen, her gaze tentative, her tone soft. "Ah Shen, my sister came looking for you. Do you want to speak with her?"
"Well…" Su Shen hesitated, glancing at An Yirou, who was brimming with tears, his gaze drifting to her belly.
An Yirou was carrying his child!
It seemed likely she had come over at this hour to talk about the baby.
"Zhiyi, could you wait for me in the room?" Su Shen had made up his mind.
Beside him, seeing Yun Zhiyi unaffected, An Yirou fell to her knees in front of her, putting on a pitiful act.
"Sister, Uncle and my mom said the company project ran into some issues. They asked me to come get Brother Shen's advice. Also, there was an issue with a design I submitted, so I need to talk to Brother Shen alone…"
The lies came so easily.
Who discusses company matters this late at night?
It was obvious she was here for some personal pleasure with Su Shen!
Yun Zhiyi didn't expose her.
This worthless pair was deep in their passionate affair.
She had been looking for a way to shake off Su Shen anyway!
An Yirou treated him like a prize.
Watching Su Shen tenderly helping An Yirou up, Yun Zhiyi feigned jealousy.
With a quick slap, she struck Su Shen across the face.
"Ah Shen, I loved you so deeply, and yet you've let me down tonight! We're through for now—go keep my dear sister company!!"
Her eyes filled with tears, and she turned and ran, appearing heartbreakingly hurt.
Su Shen grimaced in pain but was shocked by how deeply Yun Zhiyi seemed to love him—she had not only been considerate but was even willing to step aside.
"Zhiyi, wait! Let me explain—"
But before he could follow, An Yirou clung to him like a vine, tears streaming down her face.
"Darling, whose man are you? I'm carrying your child, and you don't even care? I got down on my knees for you in front of Yun Zhiyi—what more do you want from me?"
"…"
"Do you not love me anymore?" she sobbed, "Fine, I'll just get rid of this baby!"
Passersby started to stop and stare, whispering among themselves.
"Oh, what's going on? Pregnant before marriage and talking about an abortion…"
"Exactly!"
Several security guards approached, sternly reminding her, "Miss, please refrain from making a scene in a public place."
An Yirou's face was stiff with embarrassment.
At that moment, Su Shen felt utterly humiliated.
Afraid she would continue to cause a scene and draw more attention, he quickly pulled her away!
