Fan Junchen saw Fan Cheng’s dark expression, but he didn’t dare to leave. He greeted Fan Cheng obediently. “Uncle Nine.”

“Fortunately you’re not blind,” Fan Cheng replied coldly. He wasn’t happy to be disturbed by these people. “What are you doing here so late?”

Fan Junchen was dumbfounded. He was full of questions, but before he managed to ask even one of them, Uncle Nine’s proactive question came first, and he trembled, fearful because he could not justify his actions. What if Uncle Nine was related to this woman? Wouldn’t he be caught in the net if he said the truth now? He merely managed to squeeze out a sentence after much thought, “It’s about some work matters, which is why the screenwriter is here as well.”

As he said that, he stood behind the screenwriter and to stop him from leaving.

Finding himself in an awkward position, the screenwriter looked at Fan Cheng with an embarrassed smile.

“Uncle Nine, why are you here?” Fan Junchen asked cautiously. However, when he saw Fan Cheng’s expression, he regretted asking the question at all. Why did he say so much? If Uncle Nine was really bewitched by this woman, wasn’t his actions just like pulling a tiger’s whiskers?

“Hm, I came over to see Xiao Que,” Fan Cheng answered perfunctorily. He had no intention to interact further with Fan Junchen.

Fan Junchen was someone who knew how to read the mood. Seeing Fan Cheng’s attitude, he knew that he would only incur Fan Cheng’s dislike if he continued to stay here. Thus, he quickly said, “Since Uncle Nine is here, I won’t disturb you.”

With that, Fan Junchen turned around and left the room. When the screenwriter, who had not said a word from beginning to end, saw that Fan Junchen had left, he hurriedly followed behind Fan Junchen and left as well.

The room finally quieted down. Shen Que closed the door and turned around to look at the man on the bed. His face was still cold. She did not understand what was wrong with this man. Although those people had disturbed the two of them, they had left now, why was he still giving her such a dirty look?

However, she felt fortunate that this door-god was here. Otherwise, that idiot Fan Junchen would have made some outrageous demands.

Fan Junchen, who did not manage to make any demands, returned to his room with a heavy heart. He could not understand why Fan Cheng was in Shen Que’s room. What was the relationship between them? What if Shen Que latched onto Fan Cheng and retaliated against him?

Fan Junchen’s thoughts were in a complete mess. He could not believe that the high and mighty Fan Cheng would fall for Shen Que, a countryside bumpkin. In his eyes, Shen Que had always been useless and even a little stupid.

Seeing Fan Junchen sitting on the sofa dejectedly after he returned, Yuan Ranran quickly went up to him. She put her delicate little hand on Fan Junchen’s hand and asked gently, “Junchen, how is it? Did Shen que agree?”

Fan Junchen was irritated. He only shooked his head in response to Yuan Ranran’s question.

Yuan Ranran had been together with Fan Junchen for a long time, thus she could naturally tell that Fan Junchen was not in a good mood at the moment, so she did not dare to continue pressing. She merely said with some grievance, “It’s alright, Junchen. I believe that you will help me.”

Seeing Yuan Ranran’s pitiful look, Fan Junchen’s heart softened. Feeling that he had gone too far to treat her coldly, he reached out and pulled the woman into his arms. “Ranran, do you know who I saw when I went there just now? Fan Cheng was in Shen Que’s room!”

Fan Junchen recounted what he had seen to Yuan Ranran.

Hearing what Fan Junchen had seen and heard, Yuan Ranran exclaimed, “How is that possible? She hasn’t had any contact with outsiders since she came back. How could she know someone as important as Fan Cheng?”

Seeing Yuan Ranran’s reaction, Fan Junchen was actually thinking the same thing. However, he could not help thinking about what he had just seen. After all, he could not guess what Fan Cheng was thinking. He could only say, “But I did see Fan Cheng, and Fan Cheng said he was here to see Shen Que.”

Yuan Ranran could no longer maintain her composure. If Shen Que managed to cling to Fan Cheng, what would happen to her in the future? This woman wanted to snatch her everything, but if Fan Cheng was on Shen Que’s side, she would not even have the chance to resist..
