Ye Zhen could imagine how this goddess-level person would have been extremely well-regarded on a college campus.

"Time is a good thing. It can change a lot of people. Lu Beichuan isn't an exception. Perhaps, he might not like my type in the past, but he confessed at the wedding that he fell in love with me at first sight." Ye Zhen closed her eyes as she smiled. "I'm sure that you know a man's love at first sight is merely lust, which means that Mr. Lu's taste has changed. He likes my type now."

"Is that so?" Hiding her feelings, Shen Weiyin smiled. "Miss Ye, surely you don't believe that when a man casually says he loves you that those are his heartfelt feelings?"

Of course Ye Zhen wasn't that naive. After all, her relationship with Lu Beichuan was written down in black and white.

She had that self-awareness.

Reminded of their agreement, Ye Zhen thought about what was written in that agreement. She was responsible for blocking Lu Beichuan's admirers. She would definitely block Shen Weiyin for him.

Shen Weiyin smiled slightly. "Miss Ye, I actually have a very good understanding of Beichuan's family situation. Grandpa Lu has acknowledged Beichuan as his only heir. Under the circumstances, Beichuan would of course have to leave behind descendents. Beichuan is a filial grandson. He wouldn't disobey Grandpa Lu's words."

Was she implying that she was able to marry into the Lu's as Lu Beichuan's wife because his grandpa wanted a child and not because Lu Beichuan liked her and loved her?

Ye Zhen was unconcerned. "How strange. I've never heard of Mr. Lu mentioning you, Miss Shen. From the time that Mr. Lu fell into a coma, I'm guessing you haven't seen him often. Where would you have heard these words from? You seem like you're so familiar with the Lu's."

"The Shen's and Lu's once had a lot of business dealings with each other. My grandpa has been good friends with Grandpa Lu for many years. I practically grew up in the Lu's home. So this bit, I would understand."

Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow.

It really was difficult to deal with a woman that was claiming the status of a childhood sweetheart and first love on a college campus.

"Oh? That close? It's surprising that I've never heard Beichuan mention you then. Otherwise, I would have definitely told him to send you an invitation to our wedding." Ye Zhen sighed. "What a pity."

Shen Weiyin's expression remained placid. She was someone that appeared on movie screens and was in the entertainment circle. It wouldn't be possible for someone to easily provoke her into showing anger.

"If Miss Shen doesn't mind, when you can get married, you can send your wedding invitation to the Lu's home. I'll definitely bring Beichuan along to attend your wedding."

"I'm not in a hurry to get married." Shen Weiyin sighed. Turning the wine glass in her hand, she said, "If I'm too hasty about finding a man, I'll be the one living in regret later. It would be better to calm down and carefully consider and feel who would be the person most suitable for me."

Lu Beichuan, who was standing in the crowd, would occasionally look in Ye Zhen's direction. Seeing the woman that was sitting across from Ye Zhen, he narrowed his eyes and left the crowd and strode over to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen saw that Lu Beichuan was walking towards her with a wine glass. She waited until he came forward, then she smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, perfect timing. I'm bored right now. How about you introduce your ex-girlfriend to me?"


Lu Beichuan's gaze lingered on Ye Zhen.

"What ex-girlfriend? How come I don't know about this?" He lightly replied and silently sat down next to Ye Zhen. Calm and stable, he was like a restrained dark horse. Wrapping one arm around Ye Zhen's waist, he glanced at the drink in Ye Zhen's hand and whispered, "What is that?"

Ye Zhen brought the drink to his nose. It had the fresh scent of orange juice.

"Orange juice."

"You're pregnant. Don't drink any alcohol."

Ye Zhen stared at him. "I know, I know. You've said it so many times already. So annoying."

Lu Beichuan smiled. His gaze was warm. "If you get tired later, go rest. We'll go home right after dinner."

The two of them chatted back and forth as if there was no one else present.

Ye Qing lightly coughed. She picked up the red wine on the table to hide her gaze when she checked out Shen Weiyin's reaction.

As an actress that had won countless awards, Shen Weiyin had reached great heights in her ability to control her expressions. All of the actors and directors that she had worked with had praised her acting skills. Even if Ye Zhen and Lu Beichuan were being lovey-dovey in front of her, her expression remained unchanged. She looked at Lu Beichuan as if she was only looking at an ordinary friend.

Ye Qing raised her eyebrows. She was surprised that Shen Weiyin could remain so calm.

"Beichuan, it's been so long since we've seen each other." Shen Weiyin smiled at Lu Beichuan. Her gaze was restrained, and her tone was smooth. "I've been worried about you since the car accident. I went to visit you several times when you were in a coma, but you look fine now."

Hearing Shen Weiyin speaking, Lu Beichuan finally turned his gaze towards her. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Shen Weiyin raised her glass to toast Ye Zhen. "Miss Ye, excuse us, Beichuan and I are old friends. Surely, you won't mind us reminiscing about the past, right?"

Shen Weiyin had already brought this up so straightforwardly. If she didn't agree, she would look petty.

Besides, she already knew what kind of relationship Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan had. The relationship she alluded to was just Shen Weiyin's unrealized fantasy. She had already missed her chance.

If Shen Weiyin was willing to ruin her public image and be seen as the other woman by renewing the rumors of her relationship with Lu Beichuan, Ye Zhen didn't mind seeing a new hot gossip item in the entertainment industry.

Just as Ye Zhen was about to nod in agreement, Lu Beichuan corrected Shen Weiyin. "Zhenzhen is already my wife. Calling her Miss Ye isn't suitable. I think Miss Shen should address her as Mrs. Lu."

He cast a glance at Shen Weiyin before his gaze went back to Ye Zhen.

The smile on Shen Weiyin's face stiffened, but she very quickly recovered and used a gentle smile to cover up her embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm just not used to you having a wife. It's all so sudden. I remember in college you said..."

"That's already in the past," Lu Beichuan indifferently interrupted. It was obvious that he didn't want her to continue.

However, this perked up Ye Zhen's interest. She asked, "What did you say in college?"

"Don't remember." Lu Beichuan tried to brush over the topic.

"Tell me. I want to know." She was sure that someone like Lu Beichuan would have made fine speeches about magnificent aspirations in his youth.

Lu Beichuan furrowed his brow. He looked as if he was at his wit's end when he looked at Ye Zhen. A while later, he finally helplessly said, "Don't be such a troublemaker."

Ye Zhen thought, alright fine, she should give him some face when they were outside.
