In the past couple of days, Lin Wanxi didn't take the initiative to call Chen Xuan. She was waiting for the verification results.

Chen Xuan also didn't contact Lin Wanxi, and the two remained in a cold processing state.

He was unaware of Lin Wanxi's thoughts and feelings, feeling as if he were at a crossroads in his life, unsure of which direction to take next.

Somewhat confused, his heart was full of perplexity.

The time came for Wang Qi's birthday party. Wang Qi specifically called and made sure Su Linlang brought Chen Xuan over.

Su Linlang was quite helpless and had to look at Chen Xuan, consulting his opinion once again, "Wang Qi insists I bring you over. If it's inconvenient for you, then just ignore her."

"I don't have any inconvenience. Didn't we talk about this the day before yesterday? As long as you don't mind, I'm fine with it," Chen Xuan replied with a chuckle.

Su Linlang gave a slight embarrassed smile, "What if they mistake you for my boyfriend, then what?"

Chen Xuan laughed, "That's not a question you should ask me; it depends on how you handle it."

"You can explain it to them. Whether they choose to believe it is none of our business."

Su Linlang nodded slightly, "You're right. Since it's decided, I'll go change my clothes."

Quickly, Su Linlang changed into a sapphire blue dress, which looked very elegant.

She wasn't wearing her black-rimmed glasses, giving her less authority and adding a touch of softness.

"Hey, why aren't you wearing glasses?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

Su Linlang smiled and pointed to her eyes, "They're here, contact lenses."

"I have almost 200 degrees of astigmatism. I wear glasses only during classes. I usually choose contact lenses when going out."

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "Mmm, with black-rimmed glasses, you look more like a professional teacher."

"Without the glasses, you look like the girl next door, fresh and lovely."

Su Linlang blushed, "You're making me shy. Let's head over now."

"Okay, I'll go get the car."

Chen Xuan walked ahead, and Su Linlang followed, going downstairs together.

They drove to the Xinyue Hotel, a three-star hotel in Zhonghai City.

Wang Qi's birthday party was held in a luxurious private room.

At this point, there were a dozen people in the room, all of whom were once pretty good friends, including a few colleagues.

"Linlang, just waiting for you!"

Wang Qi greeted her with a smile, "Nice, finally brought the handsome guy over, didn't let me down."

"Your boyfriend isn't here?" Su Linlang scanned the room but didn't see him.

"Oh, he went on a business trip a couple of days ago, couldn't make it back."

Wang Qi shrugged, "No matter, as long as we're having fun."

"Hey, handsome, don't feel restrained, just make yourself at home."

"Okay." Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "Wang Qi, this is a beauty cream I carefully prepared for you as a birthday gift."

"Wow, handsome, you shouldn't have! You even prepared a birthday gift for me, so I'll gladly accept it." Wang Qi smiled as she took it.

"What kind of beauty cream did you concoct, and is it usable?" a man sneered, looking unfriendly.

Su Linlang's expression slightly changed but didn't respond to him.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, why is this guy hostile towards me?

Could it be...

"Li Jian, don't cause trouble at my birthday party!"

Wang Qi looked at him, "We all know you've always liked Linlang, but she's taken now, so don't embarrass yourself."

Li Jian snorted, "Wang Qi, you're going off the mark. I'm not deliberately making things difficult for him."

"I'm just expressing doubts about his gift, for your sake! Would you dare use an unknown beauty cream? What if it ruins your face?"

Wang Qi's expression changed unpredictably, "That's none of your concern. I haven't complained about the gifts I received, so why are you worrying?"

Su Linlang said with displeasure, "Chen Xuan has excellent medical skills; there's no need to doubt him."

"Wang Qi, you can use this beauty cream with confidence."

Before Wang Qi could speak, Li Jian interrupted with a cold laugh, "Linlang, you're being biased towards him!"

"Wang Qi is your best friend. What if there's something wrong with the cream, aren't you harming her?"

Wang Qi said angrily, "Li Jian, we all know your intentions. You're just jealous seeing Linlang bring her boyfriend Chen Xuan, causing trouble on purpose."

"It's my birthday party tonight; I hope you behave yourself! Don't ruin the atmosphere here!"

Li Jian sneered, "Wang Qi, I've already said I'm not targeting anyone specifically."

"Can't I question the legitimacy of this beauty cream? Since Linlang guarantees it, why not prove it on the spot, so I can be convinced?"

Everyone stared at the beauty cream, especially the women present, filled with curiosity.

"Then let's verify it on the spot and see how effective it is."

Wang Qi felt torn, turning to Chen Xuan and Su Linlang to see whether to proceed.

Though Su Linlang trusted Chen Xuan, she also hesitated to express an opinion, so she sought Chen Xuan's thoughts.

Chen Xuan appeared indifferent, "Since everyone is so interested, let's test the beauty effects on the spot."

"Hold on!" Li Jian called out again, "First, explain what beauty benefits it has."

"Don't try to fool us! If there's nothing special, you'd be being deceitful and quite hypocritical!"
