"Yifan, I didn't expect Lin Chuan to be your rival in love, yet you still speak up for him." Tang Yumeng laughed and said, "It seems I've overestimated Lin Chuan and misunderstood you!"

"Misunderstanding me isn't a big deal." Bai Yifan said with a smile, "I just see how much you like Lin Chuan. But now, he's done something so unworthy of you. I'm afraid you're heartbroken!"

"Heartbroken, I am indeed heartbroken!" Tang Yumeng clenched her teeth, her face pale and despondent. She said, "I feel heartbroken for my own shortsightedness, for my own foolishness. But, at least today, I have seen a person clearly, a man named Lin Chuan."

Having said that, Tang Yumeng took steps towards Lin Chuan and Fang Yuan.

"Xiao Yu, you..." Bai Yifan hastily asked.

"I want to let him know the consequences of betraying me." Tang Yumeng strode over.

Slap...

Tang Yumeng approached Lin Chuan, pushed Fang Yuan aside, raised her hand, and fiercely slapped Lin Chuan's face.

"Sis..." Lin Chuan touched his face, the slap almost made him see stars, and he was completely dumbfounded. His drunkenness dissipated instantly, his eyes turned bloodshot, his face filled with confusion, completely aware of what he just did, just not understanding how Tang Yumeng suddenly appeared.

"Don't call me sis, I'm not your sister!" Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan and said, "Good job, Lin Chuan, I didn't expect you to be frolicking with another woman behind my back."

"Sis, you... you've misunderstood." Lin Chuan hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, with the person and evidence right here, how could I have misunderstood?" Tang Yumeng pointed at Fang Yuan, who was dressed seductively.

"I..." In that moment, Lin Chuan felt he had no excuse to offer.

"From today on, I have nothing to do with you!" Tang Yumeng looked at Lin Chuan despairingly, then turned and left.

Lin Chuan stood there dumbly, unsure of what to do. Because he had indeed done something unworthy of Tang Yumeng. What more reason did he have to explain? Being caught in the act made it impossible to argue. Clenching his teeth, Lin Chuan watched Tang Yumeng's departing figure, who finally got into Bai Yifan's car.

In that moment, Lin Chuan distinctly saw Bai Yifan's ill-intended glance, he smirked at Lin Chuan, then turned and got into the white Mercedes. Bai Yifan immediately drove off. This sequence of events was particularly heart-wrenching for Lin Chuan.

"I'm sorry." Fang Yuan, standing beside him, looked at Lin Chuan with conflict and said, "It's my fault, I caused the misunderstanding between you and your girlfriend."

"No, this has nothing to do with you." Lin Chuan shook his head.

"If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened!" Fang Yuan looked at Lin Chuan uncomfortably.

In fact, seeing the scene just now, Fang Yuan also felt a pang of conscience. If it weren't for her collusion with Bai Yifan, Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng wouldn't have ended up this way. So, Fang Yuan's guilt was indeed genuine. Of course, she was just expressing her guilt in this manner.

But what Lin Chuan didn't know was that Fang Yuan's apparent guilt was just her feeling uneasy about what she'd done. Lin Chuan still naively thought Fang Yuan was a nice girl. Clearly, someone else was at fault, yet she took on the guilt.

"It's okay." Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm sober now, you should go home."

After speaking, Lin Chuan turned and left, alone, he walked slowly towards the south road of Huai Mountain. Fang Yuan watched Lin Chuan's retreating figure, the guilt on her face vanished, her gaze grew deep and misty, as if her body and mind were two separate worlds.

"Lin Chuan, I'm sorry, but we need you too much." Fang Yuan bit her teeth.

Seducing Lin Chuan was just part of the plan. Only if Lin Chuan fell for it could everything continue. If Lin Chuan didn't take the bait, perhaps none of it could be accomplished. The organization had already detected real feelings between Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng, so they had to demand that Fang Yuan immediately destroyed their relationship, creating a rift between them so Fang Yuan could take advantage. Otherwise, the plan could never come to fruition.

Lin Chuan had no idea that even if he returned to the grand metropolis of the secular world, he could never permanently escape that life, that world.

Staggering along the way back, he felt hazy.

The alcohol in his body was still surging, and that brief moment of sobriety was just that. As he left Fang Yuan behind, he felt as if there was a burning heat in his lower abdomen, burning wildly.

He walked unsteadily as if treading on cotton.

"Lin Chuan!" Suddenly, a voice came.

Lin Chuan turned his head and looked, then foolishly smiled, "Sis, is that you?"

"Sis your big ghost head!" Zhou Rui glared at Lin Chuan without good humor, just having taken a taxi to the community gate, and unexpectedly ran into Lin Chuan, and what's more, the guy was staggering drunk, like he had just drunk his way back. Zhou Rui scolded, "You son of a bitch, how could you have drunk so much? Have you lost your mind?"

"Hehe, I didn't drink..." Lin Chuan burped as he spoke.

"Still saying you didn't drink." Zhou Rui glared at him with annoyance, saying, "Look at you, what a mess you've become."

"I...I..." Lin Chuan wobbled unsteadily.

Zhou Rui hurried forward to support him, but unexpectedly, Lin Chuan's entire body leaned heavily against her.

"Ouch..." Zhou Rui panicked at once, she couldn't handle such heavy weight. So, she staggered and fell backward.

Thud...

Both of them tumbled into the grass at the community entrance. Zhou Rui was pinned down by Lin Chuan's heavy body. Most importantly, Lin Chuan was grabbing her chest as if he was struggling to stand up.

"Bastard, let go of me, let go!" Zhou Rui immediately started screaming.

"What's going on, who's the hooligan?" Sister Hong rushed over quickly.

Just about to buy some daily necessities at the community entrance, she did not expect to hear Zhou Rui's screams when she came out. The moment she heard it, she thought this was not acceptable, as Changlin Factory had not experienced any crime for many years. How could she let someone tarnish its reputation now? Sister Hong hurriedly picked up a brick from the ground and charged forward.

"Ah...Lin...Lin Chuan?!" Sister Hong was about to hit with the brick when she saw Lin Chuan staggering up from the ground, even grinning at Sister Hong. This left Sister Hong stunned; Lin Chuan was her boss, and she had to consider her job before she could let down the brick in her hand. Besides, Lin Chuan and Zhou Rui were already rumored to be a couple, right? What was the need for her to interfere with whatever a boyfriend and girlfriend might do?

"Auntie..." Zhou Rui sobbed.

"Girl, I...I'm really sorry." Sister Hong smiled awkwardly, saying, "Well...that's something between you young people. I...I won't interfere."

Having said that, Sister Hong tossed the brick she was holding and ran off.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Rui also forgot to cry. She just couldn't understand why Sister Hong left her in the lurch.

"Bastard, it's all your fault, all your fault!" Zhou Rui immediately stood up and began to hammer Lin Chuan's chest with her fists like raindrops.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan suddenly wrapped his arms around Zhou Rui, kissing her on the lips out of nowhere.

Zhou Rui was stunned, staring at Lin Chuan open-mouthed. Lin Chuan's kiss was forceful, he easily pried open Zhou Rui's teeth and went straight to the point. When their tongues touched, Zhou Rui felt as if an electric current was flowing through her entire body, trembling all over.

Lin Chuan sucked on Zhou Rui's tongue, frantically drawing her saliva.

Zhou Rui was caught off guard at first, but by the time she came to her senses, she found herself already trapped in Lin Chuan's gentle snare, almost unable to extricate herself. After a long while, she began to struggle urgently.

"No...don't!" Zhou Rui panted and pushed Lin Chuan away, who collapsed in the grass next to them.

"Sister, I like you, I love you, don't leave me..." Lin Chuan mumbled as he lay down. Although it was unclear what he was saying, Zhou Rui heard the words "I like you, I love you" which made her somewhat happy inside.

"Jerk." Zhou Rui glared at Lin Chuan, saying, "All desire but no courage. If you like me, why don't you dare tell me when you're sober? You have to wait until you're drunk, huh!"

Zhou Rui huffed, and seeing Lin Chuan collapsed in the grass, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity. She quickly helped Lin Chuan up. Although it was already March, the temperature at night was still very low, and the dew at night could easily cause a cold.

Lin Chuan was heavy, and it took Zhou Rui an immense effort to help him up.

Originally planning to send Lin Chuan home, Zhou Rui after a moment's thought decided to take Lin Chuan to the transportation market instead. Bringing Lin Chuan home at this hour would only make Mrs. Lin worry about her son drinking so much. Besides, Lin Chuan had confessed to her today, so Zhou Rui was happy and decided to take care of Lin Chuan herself.

At the transportation market, Zhou Rui's office has a rest room. Although the bed isn't big, it's enough for Lin Chuan to sleep on.

However, it was very difficult to flag down a car on the road. After much trouble, they managed to hail one, and the driver helped lift Lin Chuan into the vehicle. At last, they reached the transportation market. It took a lot of effort to get Lin Chuan up to the second floor and into the office.

But, Lin Chuan was dirty all over, and Zhou Rui certainly wouldn't let him lie down on her clean bed like that. Instead, she took off his clothes first before letting him get into bed.

Lin Chuan hit the bed and fell asleep, soon starting to snore loudly.

When Zhou Rui, dressed in fresh clothes, came in, she found Lin Chuan already asleep.

"Really a pig!" Zhou Rui cursed under her breath.
