They gazed at each other for what seemed like half a century .
"Wen Xuxu, it seems like your long wait has finally paid off . " Yan Rusheng broke the silence first as he curled his lips without any emotion .
It was hard to tell if he was mocking or teasing her .
Regardless of the reason, her heart still sank with a heavy thud .
Xuxu frowned as she slowly looked down . Her fingers had turned cold because . . . they were connected to her heart .
She quietly took a deep breath to readjust herself . She smiled and replied, "Miss Wen, it looks like you're very interested in me . "

It's not that she didn't know how to pretend or act, she just couldn't be bothered . But if someone wanted to challenge her, she definitely wouldn't disappoint that person .
She saw Xuxu with that innocent smile on her face, and Wen Xinyi's expression changed immediately . She stole a glance at Yan Rusheng guiltily .
Yan Rusheng was concentrating on cutting his steak with his cutlery . He was the epitome of grace and elegance as his hands, with its clearly-defined knuckles, cut the steak .
He was used to cutting the steak first before eating it .
He had developed this habit because of Wen Xuxu . When she was young, she liked to peel off the skin of the melon seeds before she enjoyed them .
She still had this habit now .
Someone once said that a man is his most charming and attractive when he's focused on doing something . It was precisely what Yan Rusheng was doing right now .

It rekindled her jealousy, making Wen Xinyi even more desirous to possess him, .
"I merely heard Brother Sheng and Grandfather talking about it . " She looked at Wen Xuxu with a child-like and bashful smile .
She paused before continuing, "When you get married to Brother Heng, I'm willing to be your bridesmaid . "
Xuxu answered with a smile . "If that day really comes and Miss Wen is willing, it would be my pleasure . "
The gentle tone in her soft voice was like a feather teasing and tickling Yan Rusheng's heart . He was about to explode .
He wanted to yell, "Wen Xuxu, I dare you to try and marry Jiang Zhuoheng . You're mine!"
But he knew he could never say these words in this lifetime .
He could only wish that his feelings for her were an illusion . And he prayed that they would vanish soon .
Of course, this lunch wasn't pleasant .
They left the restaurant, and Xuxu walked ahead first . Ming Ansheng and Yan Rusheng were discussing the stock market with Wen Xinyi listening intently to their conversation . Occasionally, she would interject and agree with what Yan Rusheng had said .
Yan Rusheng had only briefly expressed his opinion, and Wen Xinyi had bashfully become smitten with him for a moment .
Ming Ansheng smiled and said teasingly, "Xinyi, everything that Yan Rusheng says is correct, am I right?"
"Brother Sheng, you're so annoying . " Wen Xinyi lowered her head shyly, and she turned red .
Her thoughts were too obvious, and Yan Rusheng was beginning to feel annoyed with her . He hastened his footsteps and walked ahead .
He stuffed his hands into his pockets, and he seemed distant .
Ming Ansheng stared at his back, and his eyebrows were knitted with worry .
"Brother Sheng, what are you looking at?" Wen Xinyi saw that he was gazing at Yan Rusheng in a daze and she waved her hands in his face .
Ming Ansheng withdrew his gaze and told her seriously . "Don't try to use any connections around Yan Rusheng . You have to learn from Wen Xuxu . And never resort to dirty tricks, especially around Yan Rusheng . "
He knew quite well that Yan Rusheng would never accept Xinyi . But Grandfather and Xinyi were still adamant .
