"Mr. Chu, what a coincidence. We met very often today. It is truly astonishing that our destinies cross so often."

With her soft and gentle voice contrasting with the sexy and wild air she radiated as she descended the stairs, Bai Yulan looked extremely provocative.

Of course, the young man couldn't help but shiver slightly when he heard the voice of the person who had occupied his mind for so long.

However, being good at hiding his emotions, he slightly raised his head and calmly greeted the young girl, trying to ignore the overly glamorous Bai Yulan.

In the eyes of Bai Yulan, who specializes in emotion management, the man read like an open book, but she still decided to pretend she didn't understand and implement her own plan.

"I hope you are having fun….aah"

Stumbling on the last two steps of the ladder, Bai Yulan levitated her body at an awkward angle and continued to struggle a bit in the air instead of immediately falling to enable the young man to save her.

"Aa….aaaahhh!!"

Of course, realizing that the girl was going to fall, Chu Shingyi's mind suddenly went blank, and he almost reflexively dropped the bag on the ground and walked towards her.

"Miss Bai…"

Realizing out of the corner of her eye that the young man was close enough to catch her, the young girl dropped herself into the man's arms like a delicate princess and put her most innocent expression on her face, waiting for the man to hold her.

Chu Shingyi, on the other hand, of course did not disappoint Bai Yulan's expectations. He held her tightly.

Lying like an innocent lamb in his arms, the soft and fragrant young girl exuded an extremely refreshing feeling. The young man's heart, who was holding her and even kind of embracing her, had accelerated for a moment before he knew it.

"Miss Bai, are you okay?"

It was possible to hear a hint of worry in that perfect, comforting tone of voice.

Bai Yulan, who moved on to the second stage of her plan, instead of answering the man, muttered lightly, pointing to her left foot.

"Mr. Chu, I think I sprained my ankle. The fact that something like this happened to me when I was already so late to the feast… 'hiccup'"

Her eyes were already starting to fog up, but Bai Yulan was obviously not thinking of crying. Because if her make-up bleeds, it would be very difficult to do it all over again.

"Mr. Chu, I realize that it is highly inappropriate to ask such a thing, but I wonder if I can get support from you until my feet feel better by holding onto your arms at the banquet?"

Bai Yulan made a direct move and began to carefully observe the other party's facial expressions with a slightly embarrassed expression. She thought the answer would be positive, but when she saw the eyes of the man before him, alarm bells began to ring in Bai Yulan's mind.

'He suspects me! But I did nothing to make him suspicious. What is this expression!'

Chu Shingyi, who looked completely expressionless as Bai Yulan frantically tried to figure out where she went wrong, continued to stare at this shy-looking girl.

Considering the Lu family's actions while arguing with their son, how could she be ashamed of such a simple thing now?

Chu Shingyi: 'I would have thought she was acting right now if her expression wasn't so clear.'

After a few seconds of staring, which seemed like hours between the two of them, Chu Shingyi wrapped Bai Yulan's left arm around his right arm and began to drag her towards the backyard where the banquet was held.

Although this gesture meant that he approved of Bai Yulan's offer, the young girl's heart was not at all comfortable reading the emotion in his eyes.

Because the doubt in the man's eyes had increased rather than diminished, and it seemed as if she wanted to test it.

Still not able to find out where she went wrong, Bai Yulan's face made the young girl tremble from head to toe, even though the trace of worry that flashed on her face for a moment had disappeared very quickly.

Of course, exhausting the girl's trembling body from the fact that she was cold, Chu Shingyi unwittingly brought his body closer to the girl and did not stop until her shoulders were tied enough to share their body temperature.

Seeing that the man's arms were pressed against hers as if to give her warmth, Bai Yulan set aside the thoughts that were constantly swirling in her mind, and let this warmth envelop her body from head to toe.
