Zheng Haoqian led Ji Yan into the exquisitely decorated private room. The light softly fell on the table, creating a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. He gently handed the menu to Ji Yan and said with a smile, "Yan'er, see what you want to eat."

Ji Yan took the menu, her eyes wandered among the various dishes, and finally selected a few of her favorites. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Zheng Haoqian watched Ji Yan's brows gradually relax, knowing that her mood was getting better. He spoke softly, with concern in his voice: "Yan'er, what exactly happened in the office? Can you tell me?"

Ji Yan paused with her chopsticks in her hand. She knew that Zheng Haoqian's question was out of concern, and she couldn't keep avoiding it. She took a deep breath and was about to speak, but the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, interrupting her thoughts.

Xin Mujing walked in and looked at Ji Yan who was sitting at the table. He knew that it must be Zheng Haoqian who secretly reported the news. He smiled apologetically, walked in front of Ji Yan, and wanted to speak.

However, Ji Yan raised her head coldly, looked at him and said, "I don't want to see you, go away." There was a slight tremor in her voice, and she was obviously still angry.

Xin Mujing's heart tightened when he saw this. He knew that Ji Yan was angry with him, so he hurried forward and begged in his tone: "Yan'er, listen to my explanation, okay? That woman really has nothing to do with me. I have never admitted that she is my fiancée. You are the only one in my heart."

Ji Yan looked at him and sneered: "It doesn't matter? Then why did she say you would get married?" Her voice was full of suspicion and anger.

Xin Mujing quickly explained: "That was grandpa's arrangement, I never agreed to it. The person I love is you, only you." His voice was full of sincerity and eagerness.

After hearing this, Ji Yan was silent for a while. She knew that Xin Mujing was telling the truth, but she also knew the power of the Xin family and how much his grandfather insisted on their marriage. She said calmly, "Even so, you will still marry her in the end."

Xin Mujing felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. He knew that Ji Yan's worries were not unreasonable, but he also knew that his feelings for Ji Yan were real and irreplaceable. He said softly: "Yan'er, believe me, I will solve this problem. I won't let you get hurt."

Ji Yan did not answer, but just lowered her head and ate silently. Seeing this, Xin Mujing knew that she was still angry, so he did not say anything more. He sat aside and accompanied Ji Yan quietly, hoping to calm her anger with his company.

Zheng Haoqian looked at the atmosphere between the two and sighed softly. He knew that Xin Mujing's feelings for Ji Yan were sincere, but he also understood that Ji Yan's worries were not unreasonable. He sat silently, waiting for the relationship between the two to ease.

Just as the three of them were thinking about their own things, the waiter brought the dishes. Ji Yan didn't say anything else, just lowered her head and ate. Xin Mujing looked at her cold back, feeling bitter in his heart. He knew that this incident hurt Ji Yan a lot, but he also believed that the relationship between the two could withstand this test.

The three of them were finishing their meal. Zheng Haoqian looked at Ji Yan and asked softly, "Yan Yan, are you full?"

Ji Yan put down her chopsticks and nodded gently, "Well, that's enough." Her voice was soft and gentle.

Seeing this, Zheng Haoqian stood up with satisfaction and signaled Xin Mujing with his eyes. Xin Mujing received the signal and stood up as well, and the two walked towards the door together.

At this moment, Fang Boheng, who was not far away, had just finished a dinner with his friends, and his eyes accidentally fell on the three people. He saw two tall and imposing men with indifferent expressions on their faces, as if they were isolated from the world. However, when their eyes turned to the woman next to them, the coldness disappeared instantly, replaced by tenderness and pampering.

Fang Boheng was curious and wanted to see the woman's face clearly, so he leaned forward slightly and tried to see through the two men. When he saw the familiar face, his heart was shocked, as if he was struck by lightning.

"Girl..." He couldn't help but shout out, with shock and disbelief in his voice. However, his voice seemed so weak in the noisy restaurant, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

At this moment, Ji Yan seemed to have noticed something, and she turned her head in confusion, trying to find the source of the sound. However, due to the obstruction of her vision, she could not see anything.

"I seemed to hear someone calling me..." She turned and said to Xin Mujing with a hint of confusion on her face.

Xin Mujing and Zheng Haoqian looked at each other, and a complex emotion flashed in their eyes. Xin Mujing shook his head slightly and said to Ji Yan: "I didn't hear it."

Ji Yan frowned, seeming a little puzzled, “Um…is that so…” There was a hint of doubt in her voice.

However, at this moment, Xin Mujing saw Fang Boheng in the rearview mirror. He was standing in the distance, staring at the direction they were leaving. Xin Mujing's heart tightened, and he quickly signaled Zheng Haoqian to drive quickly.

The car started slowly and drove away from the restaurant. Ji Yan looked through the car window at the scenery that was getting farther and farther away, but her heart was still recalling the doubts she had just felt. Xin Mujing and Zheng Haoqian chose to remain silent tacitly and did not mention what had just happened.

Fang Boheng watched the car leave, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He stood there for a long time without moving, as if he was thinking about something.
