“Ziyan.” Xiao Yichen’s voice cut through the air, carrying a noticeable edge of displeasure. Despite his clear annoyance, he maintained a stoic expression, mindful that they were best friends.

He gazed at Xiao Yichen, understanding his temperament but unwilling to back down. Luo Ziyan persisted, “Yichen, I speak the truth. There was never any genuine affection between you and Bai Lu. If not for her endorsement of that necklace five years ago, you wouldn’t have maintained such closeness with her all these years.”
Xiao Yichen fixed his gaze on Luo Ziyan, warning, “If you mention her name again, I won’t let you off.”

“No,” Xiao Yichen replied, focusing his eyes straight ahead.
Bai Lu, refusing to give up, reached out to grip Xiao Yichen’s arm with both hands. Coquettishly, she said, “Yichen, you haven’t visited my apartment in five years. Why don’t you come up and take a look tonight? My bed is quite spacious.”
Bai Lu feigned shyness and lowered her head, adopting the demeanor of a timid girl.
Xiao Yichen turned his face toward her, gazing into her eyes.

Bai Lu was puzzled, unsure of the meaning behind his words.
