Following Xun Yan back to the hotel, all the way Xun Yan had a serious expression on his face. He appeared unusually indifferent, even refraining from teasing Shen Li Qing as he usually would.

Shen Liqing furrowed his brow slightly, wondering if it was because he was getting older that he had a generation gap with these young people. He still couldn't understand why Xun Yan's attitude suddenly changed so quickly.

And he has already stayed here for two days, the longer he stays, the more anxious Shen Liqing's heart becomes. This place is not far from the villa area where he used to live. Shen Lu will definitely come to find him downstream after being engulfed by the turbulent water. If he is stopped by the bushes, he will only be lightly injured and will be fine. Shen Lu is certainly aware of this.

It's already 2 a.m. and Xun Yan has lost interest in going out to have fun. He felt frustrated thinking that he had been worrying about this old man for the past two days. Moreover, this old man didn't even have a bit of gratitude. He even dared to dislike him. If it weren't for him, Shen Liqing would probably have been eaten up by Bai Zhuo.

Just a kiss and a few teasing remarks, he actually thought he could get away with it. Even if he wanted to satisfy his physical needs, he definitely wouldn't go for this extremely boring old man.

Xun Yan used the room key card to open the door and glanced disdainfully at Shen Liliqing, who was right behind him. There were ambiguous marks on her neck and ill-fitting clothes, making it easy to imagine what she had encountered earlier.

Xun Yan thought to himself, "Bai Zhuo is quite indiscriminate. Even at such an old age, he's still making moves. But... Xun Yan cursed himself inwardly because when he saw Shen Li's calm and peaceful demeanor, the vulnerability and unease in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of sympathy."

For the past 21 years, Xun Yan had never experienced such emotions. Although he had had many lovers before, it was always consensual, and there was never any talk of responsibility or lack thereof. However, now that he had agreed to Shen Liqing's words, he had been honoring his promise all along.

"Hey, what I said earlier was a bit harsh." Xun Yan apologized in a remorseful tone.

Shen Liqing glanced at Xun Yan and did not respond.

Xun Yan anxiously kicked the room door open. What was wrong with him? He apologized to this old man, but everyone else completely ignored him, as if his apology was unnecessary.

"Why are you standing at the door? Come in! How do I have to invite you?"

"......Mm." Shen Liqing responded with a nod. He didn't know what he had done to upset the young man again.

"What do you want? It's really unlucky that my mood has been ruined by you for two days in a row." Xun Yan thought about how Shen Liqing was very close to him just now with Bai Zhuo, but now they have distanced themselves again. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had value, this old man would have left long ago.

"Are you Xun Yan?" Shen Liqing asked, breaking the silence.

"Of course." Hearing Shen Liqing call out his name, Xun Yan's restlessness eased somewhat. It turned out that this old man was quite concerned about him.

"What's your name? You haven't told me yet," Xun Yan asked.

Shen Li pondered for a few seconds. There was no need to tell Xun Yan his full name, as it may attract unnecessary trouble. Besides, the Shen Group was quite well-known in City A. "Lu Li." "Lu" was short for Shen Lu's Lu.

Xun Yan repeated the name softly, feeling much better now.

Entering the room, luckily I bought several sets of clothes for Shen Liqing yesterday, so I can change out of this eye-catching outfit of Bai Zhuo. Originally, I had trouble sleeping yesterday, and today Xun Yan doesn't want to sleep on the sofa anymore.
