liated and embarrassed Shen Rufeng in public, Huo Chenxi watched from the sidelines. Now that Shen Rufeng retaliates, he can't help but stand up for Bai Yihuan.He's truly in love with Bai Yihuan!Su He...It was around three or four in the afternoon.

As the sun set, the high walls of Huo's main residence cast long and wide shadows.

Su He stood opposite the Huo family mansion.

Sunlight bathed her, illuminating her flawless complexion as if it were glowing. She was like a perfect porcelain doll.

And Lu Shaoan, in a black handmade suit, stood at the door of the Huo family mansion. From his chest down, he was shrouded in shadow, while from his chest up, he basked in the bright light.

The golden mask upon his face reflected the sunlight, blindingly so that one could not look directly at him.

They looked at each other across a street.

Crystal clear star-like eyes met with dark and deep ink-colored ones.

Su He's heart skipped a beat, as if a stone had been dropped into her lake of calmness, causing ripples to spread outwards.

Maybe it was because she hadn't eaten, causing a slight low blood sugar episode, but Su He found Lu Shaoan, dressed in all black, surrounded by an inexplicable aura of darkness.

Ethereal, mysterious yet exuding a chilling sense of detachment.

Her lips were slightly dry, Su He lightly bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, and her beautiful star-shaped eyes unconsciously blinked.

Lu Shaoan's hands clasped tightly behind his back, his thumb pressing firmly into his palm. His expression remained unchanged, showing no hint of abnormality.

"General Su waited patiently for the opportunity, I wonder if the result was satisfactory" The low voice slowly flowed out from Lu Shaoan's thin lips as he nonchalantly asked.

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Su He sensed a hint of mockery in his tone.

While he may be waiting for a rabbit to come by, Lu Shaoan might not necessarily be the rabbit.

Perhaps, he is the real hunter.

"I can only say, seeing Lu Sanshao here is quite a surprise!" Su He stared at the mask on Lu Shaoan's face, her voice not too loud or soft, just enough for Lu Shaoan to hear.

Lu Shaoan smiled and said, "It's fate that we met. I wonder if it would be an honor to invite Miss Su to have lunch together"

Su He noticed he was addressing her as "Miss Su," not "Miss Shen."

He's implying he wasn't here for her, his fiancée, right

And he said lunch, not dinner.

He knew she hadn't eaten lunch. Did that mean her whereabouts today were not only known to Shen Ruimo, but also to him

Thinking of this, Su He let out a soft chuckle.

She also wanted to know what Lu Shaoan and Shen Rumo were planning.

As if thinking for a moment, Su He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Why not have both lunch and dinner together at this time"

Lu Shaoan performed a gentlemanly bow, his voice laced with pleasure: "It would be my honor!"

Su He pointed to the car not far away. Lu Shaoan didn't refuse, turned around and got into Su He's car.

Su He was sitting in the passenger seat, he sat in the back seat.

The bodyguard drove, glancing at Lu Shaoan in the rearview mirror unconsciously.

By profession, he didn't detect any sense of danger from Lu Shaoan.

However, this man seemed to carry danger within himself.

There is no danger, he must be hiding it too well!

The car stopped at the entrance of Qin Xiang Guan.

After getting out of the car, Su He stood aside and saw Lu Shaoan come down. She turned her head and pointed at Qinxiang Pavilion: "Lu Sanshao, is this place okay"

Here, they had their first meeting.

Lu Shao'an glanced at Su He thoughtfully and nodded, "Very good!"

Two people walked inside side by side. The bodyguard was about to follow, but at the door he was stopped by a thin but strong man who appeared out of nowhere.

The tense atmosphere felt like it could explode at any moment.

"Just ignore them!" As if he had eyes on the back of his head, Lu Shao'an rushed toward the door without turning around and shouted.

Su He turned around and realized the standoff at the door.

She had personally witnessed Lu Shaoan's subordinate single-handedly defeat a room full of men, leaving the place drenched in blood. Now, thinking back, it felt as if it were happening right before her eyes.

"Don't follow me." Su He also said to the bodyguard who was following him.

Of the bodyguards and subordinates Shen Xingfan had arranged for her, some went to deal with Shen Yuqing, some went to rescue Shen Xiaoli, and some went to the hospital to accompany He Lijun. Now, only a few people were left by her side.

If you really have to confront Lu Shaoan, it's not guaranteed that you'll come out unscathed.

The bodyguard wore a worried expression, but facing the opponent who exuded an aura of strength all over his body, after a brief eye contact, he ultimately followed Su He's instructions and did not follow.

One of them even quietly slipped away, went back to their car, and called their leader's personal guard to report the situation here.

Su He and Lu Shaoan arrived at the top floor VVIP specially arranged private room.

This is more luxurious than the previous room Lu Shaoan lived in. It has both the elegance of ancient times and the advancement of modern technology, which are perfectly blended together, giving a wonderful feeling of freedom and fairyland.

Su He walked proactively to the rosewood table in the dining area and left the main seat for Lu Shao'an. "I'll treat you, Young Master Lu."

Lu Shaoan seemed a little surprised, his thin lips curved into a playful smile: "I've always been the one who takes women out to dinner, I didn't expect it to be you treating me today!"

Su He laughed and said, "According to Lu Sanshao's words, he often invites women out to eat"

The last time she saw Lu Shaoan, she could still faintly see the shadow of Huo Chenxi in him.

This time when they met, he was completely different, exuding an aura that was worlds apart from Huo Shenxi's.

If it weren't for the sharp lines of his jaw and the deep, dark eyes beneath his golden mask, Su He would have doubted that the two Lu Shaoan she had seen were the same person.

Lu Shaoan sat in the main seat, raised his hand and placed it on the table, then tapped it lightly with his fingers: "Miss Su, are you very interested in my past"

Su He sat beside him, a seat apart, and met Lu Shaoan's gaze with a half-smile: "Don't say just City A, I'm afraid even the Imperial Capital would be interested in Third Master Lu's past."

Having been sent out of the Lu family since he was a child and living in hiding for so many years, even the most gossipy paparazzi couldn't dig up any information about him. How did he manage to stay hidden all these years

"Is that so It's a pity they won't know." Lu Shaoan raised his lips and smiled lightly, his voice low and melodious, like a cello solo. "But, Miss Su, if you want to know, I wouldn't mind telling you!"

He leaned slightly, stepping over the empty space, closing the distance between him and Su He.

Su He could even feel the warm breath he exhaled landing on his earlobes as he spoke, like a mischievous hand teasing them. His earlobes felt faintly itchy.

"Is that so" Su He clenched her fists, subtly turning her head to the side. Her star-like eyes locked onto his, "Since Lu Sanshao is so generous, why not tell me where my brother is"

Lu Shaoan was originally teasing her, but she unexpectedly asked him seriously about Shen Rufeng's whereabouts. He couldn't tell if he felt disappointed or a sour feeling in his heart. He snorted and said, "Such a big person, afraid he would get lost"

Su He frowned, but the next second she reacted, her black eyes trembled slightly.

Lu Shaoan meant, has Shen Rumuo already let her older brother gohad been eyeing.Shen Ruifeng felt it wasn't enough, so he added three more.Just as the dishes arrived, Shen Xinfan rushed over upon receiving the news and entered without invitation.Shen Xingfan accus...
