Originally, Xinyan wanted to tiptoe to see more clearly.
But He Jinxuan pulled her back to the other side: "Letâs go in deeper, we can stand on the steps over there to watch."
At first, Xinyan thought he didnât want her to join the excitement. Unexpectedly, this person was quite considerate.
While tensions rose on that side, Xinyan was smiling brightly on this side.
The two of them walked to the inner area, and He Jinxuan had her stand on the steps while he stood next to her, ready to protect her at any moment.
They had just settled in when they saw the woman being scolded in the middle raise her head: "We just happened to meet here by chance, and youâre accusing me of clinging to Lu Changjun without any evidence. Thatâs not how you treat people."
As soon as Xinyan heard the name Lu Changjun, she quickly turned to the side to look at He Jinxuan: "Lu Changjun? Is he the one I know?"
He Jinxuan nodded slightly and whispered to Xinyan, "Yes, the one in the green army pants."
Xinyan glanced over; the man was about as tall as He Jinxuan, with rugged features, and his skin was several shades darker than He Jinxuanâs, probably from constant training.
At that moment, the man must have sensed something, and he looked over at them, pausing for a moment.
Maybe because the commotion caused by a few people was too much, he hadnât noticed He Jinxuan coming in.
The two nodded to each other as a greeting, but it was clear that Lu Changjunâs expression was unnatural.
He might have felt embarrassed as well, and directly addressed those few people: "If youâre here to eat, just book a room and order dishes. If youâre here to cause trouble, leave quickly before Mr. Yin kicks you out."
Those few individuals were mindful of their own face, so they toned down, as the woman among them said: "Mei Xueshan, you know exactly whatâs going on. You used to secretly love He Jinxuan, but used that foolish Jian Minru to your advantage.
Your schemes might only fool the spoiled Jian Minru, whoâs been played around by you. Now that He Jinxuan has left the troop, youâve set your sights on Lu Changjun. Youâre really shameless."
These statements carried heavy implications, causing Xinyanâs smile to fade.
She just wanted to watch some drama on the way, but it turned out to be problematic.
She turned her head to look at He Jinxuan, her face full of suspicion.
He Jinxuan hadnât expected Qu Aiting to say such things, as he was entirely unaware of what she mentioned.
Afraid that Xinyan would misunderstand, he quickly explained: "Donât listen to Qu Aitingâs nonsense."
Xinyan glanced at him with a half-smile and turned to look at those people.
Just then, the woman named Qu Aiting also saw He Jinxuan standing there, and immediately became embarrassed. She probably didnât expect to be caught by the person involved.
He Jinxuanâs eyes were sharp: "Qu Aiting, you better explain clearly to me."
Qu Aiting didnât expect to be so unluckyâcaught not only gossiping behind peopleâs backs but also by the usually aloof, uninterested He Jinxuan demanding an explanation.
Her face turned bright red in an instant.
At this time, Mei Xueshan also looked over, and her expression was quite peculiar when she saw He Jinxuan standing there unexpectedly.
Xinyan saw this scene and teased He Jinxuan: "Do you want to go over and say hello?"
He Jinxuan glanced at Xinyan sideways: "Have you not watched enough and want to pull me into this drama?"
Xinyanâs lips curled into a slight smile: "So, do you want to join their drama?"
He Jinxuan held her hand: "Wait a moment."
In the moment he turned his head, his expression cooled, and he looked at those few people: "Qu Aiting, I donât care what grudges you have, but stop dragging me into it. I have no relationship with any of you, and if I get involved again, donât blame me for being rude."
He said this, then led Xinyan down the steps: "Letâs go inside and order, donât waste time watching these boring people act."
Xinyan didnât speak, simply followed He Jinxuanâs lead.
Once Xinyan was stable, He Jinxuan took her hand: "Allow me to introduce, this is my fiancĂ©e Han Xinyan. I donât care what youâre scheming, but keep me out of it. If you upset my fiancĂ©e, youâll have consequences to face."
His words were full of threat, instantly darkening the faces of those few people.
