Wen Shan immediately retreated a step to avoid Mu Qi's fake warm gesture. At that point, Le Tian opened the door.

The three people at the door stood frozen like the legs of a pot, each holding a spot of their own.

Wen Shan turned to Le Tian, strode towards her, and said, "Close the door."

Le Tian leaned against the door, looking at the women standing outside emotionlessly.

Mu Qi laughed lightly and looked at Le Tian. "Le Tian, I came here to apologize to you. What I did last time was not right. I shouldn't have –"

Mu Qi had not finished speaking when Wen Shan stepped forward and slapped her.

The sound echoed throughout the corridor.

"Mu Qi, I would like to apologize. What I just did was not right, I should not have slapped you," Wen Shan drawled, smiling coldly. She still remembered the time when Le Tian had to be sent to the hospital. Did Mu Qi think a mere apology was enough?

Wen Shan knew clearly what Mu Qi was up to. First, she would apologize to Le Tian, then she would get closer to Wen Shan so she could worm her way into Nalan Chunbo's life. The woman was completely shameless at this point.

"Wen Shan, you... " Mu Qi held her freshly slapped cheek, looking sad.

"There is no use in apologizing. Your apologies are useless so just leave, you fake bitch," Wen Shan snarled and dragged Le Tian into the house. She slammed the door behind her, leaving Mu Qi outside.

Mu Qi stamped her high heels on the ground a few times, let out a frustrated shriek, then left.

Wen Shan and Le Tian looked at each other for a moment then averted their gazes immediately. They thought Mu Qi would try to barge her way in.

"What did you come here for? Aren't you and Papa Nalan being all lovey-dovey?" Le Tian scoffed, returning to her study room. She was still busy working. The blueprint was finished and she was now waiting for the materials to arrive so she could build the model.

Wen Shan followed her into the study room. "It's weird, I don't know what feeling this is."

"The hypocritical feeling of being chased." Le Tian glanced at her icily. Her words were quite sharp.

Wen Shan felt that ever since Dong Feng hurt Le Tian seven years ago, Le Tian was scornful towards any matter that involved emotions. She would lash out at people with sharp words.

If the person was not her friend, her words would seem quite hurtful.

It was probably the reason Le Tian had only one friend until now.

Actually, Le Tian used to have many friends, even ones from other countries. When they were in university, Wen Shan was jealous that Le Tian had so many friends that often bought her food.

But after the incident, the way she spoke had changed and her harsh words had offended all her friends. In the end, she only had one friend left, the one she had been staying with.

Wen Shan hated her before too. Back then when she used to secretly like Nalan Chunbo, Le Tian said that she was just being fanciful. It was like chewing on toad meat but wishing to eat goose, that she knew that she would not get what she wanted. After all, a guy like Nalan Chunbo had money and influence. He would surely have many women with him.

At that time, Wen Shan really hated her.

But after a while, she just felt sorry for her.

"I'm seriously asking for your opinion," Wen Shan sighed, watching Le Tian tidying her papers. She helped her with the tidying and continued, "I think he is serious. Also, the Nalan Chunbo now is different from the one I used to know."

"Right, then you realized that you do not like him that much after all," Le Tian sneered.

"Wrong, I like him even more," Wen Shan admitted, massaging her neck sheepishly.

"Then why did you come over? Go look for your Papa Nalan and tell him that you like him even more." Le Tian glared at Wen Shan, her gaze vicious. Her brutal look was hard for Wen Shan to swallow.
