That afternoon, Shen Zihao immediately booked a flight to Jiangbei City.

He would never allow anyone else to touch the woman he desired.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan was driving back to New Moon Entertainment Company.

As soon as he walked into the office, Lin Wanxi eagerly asked, "How did the talk with Shanshan go? Did she change her mind?"

Sigh!

Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Changing her mind is too difficult. She's dead set on betting her youth, which is terribly pathetic and leaves one helpless."

Lin Wanxi was at a loss, "It seems I'll have to find another time to talk to her again."

"A waste of effort." Chen Xuan waved his hand, "By doing this, she's forcing both of us to make a choice, to completely put an end to this relationship."

Lin Wanxi bit her lip, "No matter the outcome, I must talk to her."

"As her close friend and sister, it's my duty."

"Alright, I won't intervene. I hope you can persuade her." Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, feeling that the hope was very slim.

After ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Zihao arrived in Jiangbei City, and his loyal subordinate, Wang Bin, had specially come to the airport to meet him.

"Wang Bin, did that guy and Yang Leshan stay in the room for an hour without any strange occurrences?" Shen Zihao asked with a somber expression.

Wang Bin understood what Shen Zihao was inquiring about and softly said, "There shouldn't have been any relationship; it was just a meeting for conversation, I saw clearly."

Shen Zihao's expression slightly softened, "Get to the bottom of that guy's identity and background as soon as possible."

"Understood." Wang Bin nodded in response. "Young master, are you going to see Miss Yang tonight?"

"There's no rush to see her for now." Shen Zihao waved his hand, "I want to see how close she really is with that guy!"

"If she dares to have relations with that guy behind my back, I'll let them meet their end!"

Wang Bin felt the coldness emanating from Shen Zihao, not daring to speak much, and arranged for him to stay in a high-end hotel.

...

The next morning, Lin Wanxi proactively called Yang Leshan, asking her to come to the office.

Not long after, Yang Leshan arrived at the company, and the two of them sat down to talk.

Lin Wanxi specifically sent Chen Xuan away; she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yang Leshan.

"Shanshan, as your close friend and sister, I don't want to see you degrade yourself like this," Lin Wanxi was the first to speak.

Yang Leshan let out a slight laugh, "Wanxi, if you truly care about me, then nod your head and accept me being with Chen Xuan."

"Shanshan, you're putting pressure on me." Lin Wanxi's face showed conflict.

Yang Leshan shook her head, "Wanxi, you're overthinking, I have no intention of putting pressure on you."

"I already clearly told you before, I have no intention of competing with you for Chen Xuan's affection, just consider me as being the same presence as Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi."

Lin Wanxi hesitated for a moment, but still firmly shook her head, "Shanshan, I can't nod in agreement, after so many years of being close sisters, you understand my character the most."

"Sharing my man with another woman, I cannot be that generous."

"What about Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi?" Yang Leshan immediately retorted, "You also accepted them with a default attitude, so why are you being so harsh on me alone?"

Lin Wanxi wore a bitter smile, "Remember I once told you the reason, so I won't explain further."

"You are different from those two, or maybe you haven't had any substantial relationship with Chen Xuan..."

Before Lin Wanxi could finish, Yang Leshan interrupted, "Your point is, if I have a relationship with Chen Xuan, then you'll accept me, right?"

Lin Wanxi was visibly shocked, "Shanshan, how can you misconstrue my words?"

"The matter with Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi, I don't want to discuss further because it's already happened, and I can't change the outcome."

"But if you and Chen Xuan had a substantial relationship, I couldn't forgive it, and would have to step aside and let you have him."

Yang Leshan suddenly stood up, "Wanxi, you are too selfish!"

Lin Wanxi laughed out of frustration, "Shanshan, do you call this selfish? Alright, even if I'm not generous enough, love is inherently selfish!"

"I didn't intentionally target you, nor do I want to ruin our friendship; I hope you understand."

Yang Leshan's expression shifted unpredictably, then she suddenly let out a bitter cold laugh, "I see, no matter what, you won't accept me, you want to exclude me."

"Shanshan, don't be stubborn, I'm not trying to exclude you, it's just in terms of love..." Lin Wanxi anxiously explained.

"Stop, I understand what you mean." Yang Leshan waved her hand, "Wanxi, you didn't do anything wrong, I'm just being unreasonable."

"Perhaps this arrangement is the best ending for the three of us!"

"Shanshan, don't leave, I genuinely want to help you solve your problems, not see you jump into the fire pit." Lin Wanxi urgently called out.

Yang Leshan reached the door, then gave a bitter smile, "No need, your kind of help is meaningless to me."

"Perhaps this is just my fate! It's meant to be, I accept it!"

Having said that, she opened the door and left.

Lin Wanxi stood there in a daze, not expecting their talk to fall apart like that; could it really end this way?

Watching Yang Leshan walk down the path of no return, burying her youth into the fire pit.

She couldn't bear it, but what else could she do...
