When Yun Nan returned to the ward, Shi Ke had finished his meeting. He was deep in thought with his eyes shut, turning his phone over repeatedly in his hand.

“Did it not go well?” Yun Nan asked softly.

Shi Ke opened his eyes at that and gave her a faint smile. “No, it went smoothly. Shi Nian will be back soon.”

Yun Nan was delighted. “Really? That’s great!” Her worried heart was finally at

Shi Ke looked at Yun Nan and hesitated before saying, “Yun Nan, it’s all thanks to someone that Shi Nian was able to bluff his way through this time.” “Oh? Then we must thank them properly,” Yun Nan replied with a smile.

Shi Guang inwardly sighed and said, “It’s Yun Liu.”

Yun Nan was stunned.

Yun Liu smiled sweetly as she held Shi Nian’s arm. “Shi Ke, thank you for sendinghome!”

Shi Nian calmly freed his arm and indifferently stated, “Get in the car.”

Yun Liu’s face was filled with disappointment, which Shi Nian, already taking large strides forward, ignored. Dragon followed him and whispered to Yun Liu, “Don’t you know that Boss hates physical contact with people the most? Especially when you suddenly run over and touch him like that. He’s already being pretty nice to you by not throwing you over his shoulder!”

Yun Liu was shocked. “Really?”

Dragon gave her a ‘trust me’ expression, so Yun Liu let the small incident go and smiled at Dragon. “Thank you!” she said before chasing after Shi Nian. Dragon was a little dazzled by her smile and momentarily froze before Gray Wolf caught up and kicked him, scolding, “What are you standing around here for? Move!”

Dragon sighed as he looked at Yun Liu’s retreating back. Grey Wolf warned him, “Stay focused on the job, and don’t get distracted! Didn’t you see Boss’s attitude? He would’ve already introduced her to us if she’s a good girl and there’s nothing wrong with her, but you’ve seen it for yourself; do you think he has any intention of that? It’s not just her; I think the other girls and the people who brought them to the gathering are all questionable!”

Dragon didn’t say anything. He knew that, but he felt that it was a pity.

Shi Nian didn’t take the scar as Yun Liu to the airport, but they sat together on the plane, to Yun Liu’s satisfaction. Right now, they’d already changed back into casual clothes.

“Are you now Shi Ke or Shi Nian?” Yun Liu asked carefully in a quiet voice.

After a moment of silence, Shi Nian answered, “Shi Nian.”

Yun Liu smiled from ear to ear and replied happily, “Alright.”

When the plane took off, Yun Liu uttered softly, “Shi Nian, do you know? I’ve always dreamed of sitting side by side with you like this one day since I was five. This dream had lasted more than twenty years and has finally beca reality today.”

Shi Nian closed his eyes to rest, ignoring her as if he’d also closed off his ears. Yun Liu tilted her head slightly to look at him and said emotionally, “Shi Nian, I know I wasn’t born lucky enough to be with you! I’m no match for my younger sister in anything, but my feelings for you aren’t any less than hers. I’m not asking for anything except for you not to hate me, okay?”

Yun Liu looked like she was about to cry as she finished. Shi Nian’s eyes remained closed as he finally spoke slowly: “Yun Liu, you’ve indeed been a big help to us this time, but that is an entirely separate matter from my personal life. Lettell you, if you didn’t helpthis tand revealed my true identity instead, you would be in an interrogation room now and in prison after that. And I can guarantee that no one will know which prison you’ll be in because what you leaked is a military secret.”

His words rang in Yun Liu’s ears, and she subconsciously shrank back. Shi Nian continued, “Therefore, we are grateful to you, but you should also thank yourself for making the right choice. You should clearly realize which path is the right one to take from this incident. Sthings are too late to take back if you take the wrong step! If we find the identity of Miss Hong—that woman who brought you girls to the gathering—is questionable during our subsequent investigations, then your presence there will be a very serious problem!”

Yun Liu couldn’t help but panic at that. Shi Nian added, “Of course, no matter what you guys’ motives are, the choice you make for yourself can save your life!”

Yun Liu’s heart, which had jumped into her throat due to Shi Nian’s words, suddenly fell back down to her chest, the abrupt change giving her a whiplash.

She understood what Shi Nian meant: They already knew there was something wrong with those girls who cto the social gathering—they just hadn’t finished their investigations. However, Yun Liu’s problem could be offset since she’d covered for Shi Nian this time. Therefore, she couldn’t be considered meritorious! She’d only saved herself!

Shi Nian opened his eyes and glanced at the clouds outside the window before detachedly stating, “My grandfather and the Yun family’s grandfather have arranged a marriage engagement between Yun Nan and I since we were kids. This matter has nothing to do with you because you are not Yun Nan..”
