Lin Wanxi sighed with a bitter smile, "How could I not understand? It's just that I feel... as if I'm an unnecessary existence."

"Let's not even talk about Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi; even Shanshan is so willing to sacrifice everything for you. What have I ever done for you?"

"It seems like the one who should step back is me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan hurriedly grabbed Lin Wanxi's hand, "Don't think like that. No one can replace your place."

"You don't have to deliberately flatter me; they all do better than me and sacrifice more than I do." Lin Wanxi shook her head with a light sigh.

Chen Xuan disagreed, "Wanxi, this is not flattery; it's the truth. Only you can purify my soul, which is something no one else can do."

"Take the Ma Wenqiang incident, for instance. If Su Linlang were with me, she wouldn't stop me; if it were Xiao Yiyi, not only would she not stop me from killing, she'd applaud it."

"You're the only one who would come forward to persuade me not to let loose, to keep my mind steady."

Lin Wanxi quickly withdrew her hand, her expression slightly unnatural, "Let's not talk about this. You focus on your own affairs; I'll take good care of Shanshan."

After speaking, she turned and went upstairs.

Chen Xuan felt troubled; Lin Wanxi's reaction was evidently influenced by Yang Leshan.

And everything Yang Leshan had done for him made him feel uncomfortable as well.

He didn't know what would become of the three of them next.

Getting up, he drove away, heading to Su Linlang's apartment.

Whenever he felt troubled, he wanted to talk to Su Linlang; she was the only woman who could speak to his heart.

After roughly recounting the situation to Su Linlang, Chen Xuan said with a bitter smile, "Linlang, I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong."

Su Linlang nodded slightly, "Matters of the heart are inherently confusing. There's no real right or wrong."

"The key is how you view this relationship. Yang Leshan's actions, though somewhat questionable, had the intention of helping you, which isn't wrong."

"What are your true feelings towards her now? Just be honest with me."

Chen Xuan lit a cigarette, "My mind's a bit chaotic now. A few days ago, when you asked how I felt about Yang Leshan, I couldn't say I liked her, but I didn't dislike her either."

"At this moment, I do feel a little fond of that straightforward silly girl. After all, she's sacrificed for me, and it's impossible not to be moved—I'm not heartless."

Su Linlang nodded with a smile, "I understand. The issue is how you and Lin Wanxi should face this."

"So, you might as well be ruthless, cut through the confusion swiftly! Break off all thoughts and maintain the current balance, which only hurts Yang Leshan."

"A perfect world doesn't exist. If you don't hurt Yang Leshan, all three of us will be in an awkward situation." Chen Xuan said softly.

Su Linlang didn't say much more, "It's the same advice—let nature take its course."

"What will happen can't be prevented; just face it with a calm heart."

"You're right; it's getting late. Let's go to sleep." Chen Xuan put out the cigarette butt and stopped thinking about the matter.

At the same time, Ma Wenqiang was imprisoned for attempted rape, making Ma Guangyuan furious.

Learning that Yang Leshan was the cause, he directed his anger at her.

The next morning, Ma Guangyuan went personally to New Moon Entertainment Company to find trouble with Yang Leshan.

At that time, Yang Leshan was still resting at home and hadn't come to work.

Lin Wanxi negotiated with Ma Guangyuan about this matter, but clearly, they couldn't reach an agreement. Ma Guangyuan wouldn't give Lin Wanxi any face.

"Mr. Ma, you need to understand that this issue is your son's fault. We haven't even demanded compensation, which is already giving you face." Lin Wanxi responded coldly.

Hmph!

Ma Guangyuan snorted coldly, "Don't bother me with this nonsense; clearly, it was Yang Leshan seducing my son. How is that attempted rape!"

"Lin Wanxi, you better hand over Yang Leshan to me; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"

Lin Wanxi remained unfazed, "Mr. Ma, if you speak like this, then we'll have to call the police."

"Justice lies in people's hearts. Your unreasonable troublemaking will only bring disgrace upon yourself!"

Heh heh!

Ma Guangyuan laughed coldly, "Is that a threat? Don't try to scare me with the police!"

"Considering my status in the Ma Family, do you think it's difficult for me to destroy your company?"

"Let me say it one last time: hand over Yang Leshan, and I won't make things difficult for you! If you dare to babble any more, I'll destroy your company now!"

At this moment, Lin Wanxi felt distraught. Handing over Yang Leshan to Ma Guangyuan would surely have a bad outcome, and she couldn't agree to it.

Yet forcing Ma Guangyuan could lead to trouble for New Moon Entertainment Company, which was also concerning.

Just when Lin Wanxi was at a loss, not knowing what to do, Chen Xuan heard the news and rushed over.

"Wanxi, I'm here!"

Seeing Chen Xuan appear, Lin Wanxi instantly felt reassured; as long as he was by her side, she wasn't afraid.
