Meanwhile, elsewhere, An Ruo was called out by a phone call from Tang Yuchen.
Over the phone, Tang Yuchen had said, "Want to know what Yun Feiyang is doing right now? If you’re curious, come out. If you don’t, you might regret it."
An Ruo didn’t want to go out, but curiosity killed the cat, and she didn’t want to be completely in the dark, so she took a risk, left the house, and got into Tang Yuchen’s car.
The man glanced at her, started the car, and laughed, "Just like that, getting into my car. Aren’t you afraid I’ll trick you?"
An Ruo replied indifferently, "If you really want to do something to me, being on guard would be useless."
"You sure know how to read the situation," he commented.
An Ruo didn’t speak further. Tang Yuchen turned the steering wheel, tapping his long index finger lightly, "Say, if I really did play you, what would you do?"
"You’ve been playing me for more than a day or two," she admitted.
"Alright, it seems you’ve gotten used to how I treat you. Just don’t cry later," the man said with a smile that was both genuine and mysterious, leaving one unable to grasp his true intentions.
An Ruo maintained a composed expression, but inside she was actually quite worried that Tang Yuchen was really thinking of some scheme to toy with her.
The sky gradually darkened, and the night began to unfold.
Tang Yuchen’s car slowly drove into Music Square, and through the lowered car window, An Ruo saw a familiar silhouette walking beside a fountain with a woman.
The woman was beautiful and pretty, her arm linked with Yun Feiyang’s, the two of them standing very close together. Most importantly, Yun Feiyang didn’t push her away.
An Ruo’s eyes widened as if she forgot how to react.
Tang Yuchen stopped the car and, unknown when, had moved close to her ear and whispered with a chuckle, "See, I told you you’d regret not coming. Do you know who that girl is?"
An Ruo just looked at Yun Feiyang, her face expressionless.
"The daughter of Vice Mayor Shen, Shen Xiang. She and Yun Feiyang can be called childhood sweethearts, having known each other since they were children. Now that Shen Xiang has returned from studying abroad, their parents couldn’t wait to have them meet. Shen Xiang is the bride candidate firmly chosen in the eyes of Yun Feiyang’s parents."
Tang Yuchen’s laughter was low, tinged with schadenfreude and an undertone of someone enjoying the spectacle.
"An Ruo, compared with Shen Xiang, do you think you can compete with her?"
An Ruo slowly turned her head and looked emotionlessly at Tang Yuchen; the man had deep-set eyes and reached out with his right hand to weave into her hair, bringing their faces even closer.
"An Ruo, come back to me obediently, don’t fantasize about what doesn’t belong to you. In fact, you’re very clear that even if Yun Feiyang likes you, there’s no possibility between you two. So, why bother giving yourself a scarred ending?"
"Tang Yuchen, it seems like you really don’t want to see me happy, do you?" An Ruo asked coldly.
The man curled his lips into a smile, leaning even closer, his thin lips nearly touching hers, his sharp eyes looking over her shoulder at Yun Feiyang who had turned his head towards them.
Seeing the shock on his face, Tang Yuchen’s mouth slowly spread into a malicious smile and whispered into An Ruo’s ear, "You’re right, I don’t want you to be happy, to have it easy. If you were to submit to me, perhaps you could have it a bit better."
An Ruo glared at him furiously, as if her gaze could kill, Tang Yuchen would have been killed by her thousands and thousands of times over!
"Tang Yuchen, I really want to know what your heart is made of. Do you think hurting me, tormenting me, is fun?"
