Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "Leshan, I can't answer your question, and I hope you don't dwell on it too much."

"I don't want to hurt you, and I definitely don't want to hurt Wanxi again, so..."

Yang Leshan understood the meaning behind his words and said mournfully, "So, you want me to give up on my own, is that it?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "Falling for me is a mistake in itself, and we can't let that mistake continue."

"Leshan, heed my advice, don't stubbornly persist; turning back is the right path."

"I refuse!" Yang Leshan's gaze was firm. "Why can you have Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi but refuse to accept me?"

"Compared to them, where do I fall short? Tell me!"

Chen Xuan smiled helplessly, "There's no comparison between people; you're not inferior to them."

"You should be well aware of Wanxi's personality. Because of Su Linlang's and Xiao Yiyi's appearance, I've already hurt her twice. I can't hurt her a third time."

"Leshan, you're a good girl; it's just that I'm not fortunate enough to deserve you."

After saying this, Chen Xuan turned to walk away.

Yang Leshan rushed over and hugged Chen Xuan from behind, "I won't let you go, not even if I die!"

Alas!

Chen Xuan sighed helplessly, "Leshan, don't be like this. Wanxi is your best friend; do you think it's appropriate to act this way?"

Upon hearing this, an internal struggle began in Yang Leshan's heart; she didn't want to ruin her friendship with Lin Wanxi.

But when emotions arise, how can one suppress them?

"Chen Xuan, let's put Lin Wanxi aside for now, and let me ask you sincerely."

"In your heart, have you ever liked me? I want to hear the truth from you!"

Yang Leshan stared at him blankly.

At this moment, Chen Xuan felt conflicted; his mind was a chaotic mess, unsure of how to respond.

During their time together, he had long understood what kind of girl Yang Leshan was.

One could say she was all brawn and no brains, brave but reckless, and could point out a list of flaws, but it couldn't be denied that she was inherently kind-hearted and had no ill intentions.

Moreover, she was completely without guile; her emotions were always visible on her face.

In this aspect, she was far better than Ye Qingxian, who was a master of manipulation.

To say he didn't like Yang Leshan at all would be disingenuous.

But to say he liked her... there was always a barrier, preventing him from being as open as he was with Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi.

"I don't know, and I can't answer," Chen Xuan finally replied coldly, turning to walk out of the office.

Yang Leshan stood in place, quickly coming to her senses, "The fact you didn't outright deny it means there's a place for me in your heart, but you're just too afraid of Wanxi to show it!"

"I need to find a time to have a proper talk with Wanxi and convince her!"

Yang Leshan forced herself to calm down; it wasn't the right time to discuss this with Lin Wanxi yet.

The new film's male lead scenes were still being urgently reshot, and Lin Wanxi didn't have the spare emotional energy to discuss this with her.

Once this period passed, when Lin Wanxi was truly relaxed, then they could talk without delay.

This waiting lasted for a month.

All the reshoots were completed, the film was successfully wrapped up, and it entered the final editing stages.

Xiao Dongshan and Liu Wei got along very well; they hadn't yet become a couple, but they had become very good friends who could talk about anything.

If things continued progressing this way, the two of them ending up together shouldn't be a big problem.

Lin Wanxi's mood also relaxed.

Yang Leshan seized the opportunity, preparing to have another thorough talk with Lin Wanxi.

However, before Yang Leshan could speak, she received a call from her family, requesting her to return home quickly.

Learning that something had happened at home, Yang Leshan couldn't think about anything else and had to go home to deal with the issue.

"Shanshan, if your family encounters any difficulties, give me a call." Lin Wanxi gently advised.

"Okay, you guys go back; I'm going home to check on things."

Yang Leshan waved her hand, giving Chen Xuan a deliberate glance, hoping he'd go home with her.

But Chen Xuan didn't respond, and she couldn't bring herself to ask, so she boarded the plane alone, quietly.

Lin Wanxi sighed softly, "Shanshan's eyes can't deceive anyone; she was waiting for you to speak up, to go home with her."

How could Chen Xuan not notice? All her thoughts showed plainly on her face, incapable of hiding them.

"It's not appropriate for me to go home with her; it would just make this love triangle even more of a tangled mess," Chen Xuan said with a bitter smile.

Lin Wanxi didn't say much more, "Let's not dwell on this for now; there's a business cocktail party tonight. Why don't you accompany me to it?"

"Alright." Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.

That evening, the two changed into formal attire and headed to the cocktail party venue.

Many social elites were present, creating a lively atmosphere.

Chen Xuan was called over by Elder Ling to sit and chat.

Lin Wanxi was also eagerly conversing with several investors about the film's release date.

At that moment, Qian Yuntian from the Qian Family focused on Lin Wanxi, and approached with a glass of wine.

"Miss Lin, let me introduce myself; I am Qian Yuntian, the eldest son and grandson of the Qian Family."

"From the moment I arrived, I noticed you, Miss Lin. You're truly a beauty like no other, outshining everyone!"

Qian Yuntian smiled warmly, "Miss Lin, I'd like to get to know you better; please give me a chance."
