Qin Xuan felt as if she was cursed by someone, otherwise why would she always make a fool of herself every time she saw Liang Wan? Lost in her thoughts, she secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Liang Wan.

Forget it, if I'm cursed, then so be it.

As long as I can see Liang Wan, what's the big deal about being cursed anyway?

Liang Wan noticed every little action from Qin Xuan, although she kept a calm and composed demeanor on the surface, deep down, she felt really delighted. Being in her current position, she had witnessed darkness and filth, which gradually made her heart become cold and merciless, without her even realizing it.

But Qin Xuan was different from everyone else. This person has never changed, always remaining pure and transparent.

It captured her heart's desire.

Liang Wan: "Are you okay?"

Liang Wan walked over to Qin Xuan's side and, as she spoke, wanted to reach out her hand.

Qin Xuan: "Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Seeing the extended hand of Liang Wan, Qin Xuan was greatly shocked and turned pale.

She quickly took a step back, waving her hands frantically and using her whole body to reject him. However, her fierce rejection hurt Liang Wan a little. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever rejected her a second time like Qin Xuan did. The first time, of course, was when the pipa was not taken by the other party...

Looking at her own embarrassingly empty hand after reaching out, Liang Wan hesitated for a moment before deciding to let it go. She gazed at Qin Xuan with the same gentle expression as before and said, "I just wanted to make sure you're okay. I mean no harm."

Qin Xuan: "I...I know..."

Qin Xuan was well aware that Liang Wan didn't mean any harm; she was just too nervous. Whenever she faced Liang Wan, she always felt anxious.

Qin Xuan: "I...I'm just a little nervous."

She hesitated for a moment, and then truthfully confessed.

Liang Wan: "Nervous?"

Qin Xuan: "Yeah, I'm nervous."

Qin Xuan obediently nodded, looking at Liang Wan with a hint of grievance.

And with her appearance like this, it was obvious that Liang Wan was quite pleased.

Liang Wan: "Don't be nervous, I don't eat people."

As she spoke, Liang Wan reached out her hand again, but this time, Qin Xuan did not dodge. She watched helplessly as Liang Wan rolled up her pant leg, feeling a tightness in her throat.

Liang Wan: "Fortunately, there are no bruises."

Considerate, Liang Wan helped Qin Xuan pull down her pant legs, then continued speaking, "Today, do you have any other plans?"

With her reminder, Qin Xuan finally realized, "Oh right, I haven't asked why Liang Wan suddenly appeared here today." She shook her head and tentatively asked, "No more questions. But Miss Liang, may I ask why you came today...?"

Liang Wan: "I specifically came to find you."

Qin Xuan did not have heart disease, but she couldn't help but think that if Liang Wan caught her off guard like this a few more times, she might very well die from her heart bursting.

Without waiting for Qin Xuan to confirm, Liang Wan proactively held Qin Xuan's wrist and walked towards the door, saying, "This time, you are not allowed to refuse."

Qin Xuan: "...... Oh."

Refusing, she wasn't that foolish! Even she knew that in all of Shanghai, how many people could make Liang Wan personally come and find her? Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel a bit proud, her mouth involuntarily curling up high. She looked at Liang Wan's hand holding onto her wrist, and Liang Wan's back walking in front of her. In this moment, she felt like she was the so-called "chosen one".

After all, in the entire Shanghai Bund, Liang Wan had only come to find her, isn't that right?

Qin Xuan: "Ah, you actually brought it with you."

As soon as Qin Xuan sat in the car, she saw the pipa that she had forgotten.

After carelessly forgetting about it that day, Qin Xuan thought she would never have the opportunity to see it again in her lifetime. After all, at that time, she even felt that she didn't even have a chance to see Liang Wan again. Now, with two consecutive surprises, Qin Xuan was so excited that she couldn't contain herself. In her excitement, she reached out and grabbed Liang Wan's hand.

Liang Wan was taken aback. These past few days, she had originally thought that Qin Xuan simply didn't like this lute. It never occurred to her that the other party had simply forgotten.

Lowering her gaze, she looked at Qin Xuan holding her hand and chuckled softly.

Liang Wan: "Hehe, I thought you didn't like it."

Qin Xuan: "How could that be? I really like it!"

Afterwards, Qin Xuan also realized that she seemed a little too excited. She pretended to be calm and withdrew her hand, smiling sheepishly, "I always get nervous when I'm around you, so when you called me that day, I completely forgot about it. But, you still have to give me this pipa, right?"

Hearing her question, Liang Wan felt a little helpless. She nodded and said, "Of course, I never easily change what I have said. If I said it's for you, then it will forever be yours. Others have no right to have it."

Liáng Wǎn's confident and domineering words left Qín Xuán speechless for a moment. She thought to herself, "Indeed, only Liáng Wǎn could say something like this with credibility."

This person, truly emits a brilliant radiance.

I wish I could really become friends with her...

She was determined to prove that this person was absolutely not a traitor!

Liang Wan: "What are you thinking about?"

Liang Wan reached out and waved in front of Qin Xuan, asking like this.

Qin Xuan: "Nothing. By the way, where are you taking me?"

Yan Guanyin took Zhou Ling away, and Liang Wan unexpectedly appeared at the Tingxiao Tower without being invited. Moreover, she once again took away Qin Xuan. These two matters almost simultaneously reached Cao Hai's ears.

Cao Hai knew Flame Guanyin's true identity, not to mention Liang Wan. Both of them are not the kind of people he can easily approach. Blowing a smoke ring, Cao Hai said, "This Old Zuo has quite a few capable individuals around him."

Underling: "Master Cao, what should we do?"

Cao Hai paused for a moment, then waved his hand.

Cao Hai: "What to do? The first thing is Mr. Yan's own matter, I can't interfere. As for the second thing, I naturally reported it truthfully."

After receiving the order, the subordinates stepped out. Cao Hai tapped his cigarette holder and looked at the scattered ashes, his smile containing a touch of insincerity. His usually sharp and cunning eyes now carried a hint of indifference. After reloading the tobacco leaves, Cao Hai took a puff and leaned back on the cushion, murmuring to himself, "The Shanghai underworld is not a place where anyone can easily establish themselves. Sometimes, you may think you have control of the situation, but little do you know, you've long become the destined prey on someone else's chopping board. Hehe, quite amusing indeed."

The evening breeze, the bright moon, Xun Manor.

Lao Zuo stood in the yard, watching the bright moon in the night sky. Behind him, a woman walked over.
