Chapter 162 We Can Join Forces

At the restaurant.

Song Xin sat across from the man, and it was visibly noticeable that his eyes held hostility towards her, ever since the moment she pointed out Wei Yan’s affection for Jiang An, there was a hint of ferocity in the man’s gaze.

However, once she came, she wouldn’t be afraid of this, taking advantage of the silence before either of them spoke, Song Xin looked at the man whose gaze seemed fixated on a glass on the table, and she slightly curled up the corners of her lips with a smile.

"May I know the gentleman’s name?" Song Xin was the first to break the silence between them, causing the man sitting opposite her to be slightly stunned as his scattered thoughts finally returned to the present.

"Who exactly are you, and what do you want?" Wei Yan looked up and methodically straightened his sleeve cuffs, getting straight to the point.

Song Xin let out a light laugh, suddenly finding the man’s slightly flustered demeanor rather charming after she had exposed his secret.

With her hands crossed on the table, the woman looked keenly at the man in front of her, opening her mouth slowly as she said: "Honestly, right now we should be in the same boat."

Listening to the woman’s seemingly jumbled response, Wei Yan’s patience was about to run out. Right when he thought to stand up and leave, he finally heard the woman begin to explain: "Let me put it this way."

The man tilted his head and finally lifted his eyes to look at the woman sitting across, softly smiling.

"You like Jiang An, and I like Gao Chuan." After beating around the bush, the conversation finally got to the point. Song Xin calmly spoke, closely observing the subtle changes in the man’s expression as he remained silent.

The man’s expression remained stern as he heard Song Xin speak, his thick brows furrowed.

Was this woman harboring a secret crush on Gao Chuan?

What was her reason for seeking him out?

Song Xin blinked her clear, rippling eyes, continuing somewhat mysteriously, "But I just don’t know whether Gao Chuan likes Jiang An, or if Jiang An likes Gao Chuan."

The man sat up straight, listening to the underlying messages in Song Xin’s words, an inexplicable interest in the woman before him formed in his heart.

On the surface, they were exchanging riddles, but in reality, it was a game between them.

Song Xin threw out these words as a test of his attitude.

But then again, as shrewd as Wei Yan, how could he fall for her trap?

The man suddenly smirked coldly, his eyes momentarily softening, "So, you sought me out just to tell me this?"

Seeing that the man wasn’t taking the bait made Song Xin a bit anxious. She stood up from her chair, her voice raising significantly, "Doesn’t Sir wish to join forces with me?"

"Don’t you think it’s odd between the two of them? Why would they suddenly get married if nothing was going on?" The woman went on about her suspicions about Jiang An’s marriage, convinced that if this man truly liked Jiang An, even to the extent she liked Gao Chuan, that he must also harbor suspicions about their abrupt matrimony.

"So what?" Wei Yan crossed his legs and suddenly became somewhat interested in listening to the woman continue.

"So, let’s join forces. I can help you win over Jiang An, and I can also..." Song Xin began to outline her plan, but for some reason, she lost her inner confidence, her voice steadily grew quieter.

She suddenly recalled her friend’s previous words, astonished that she, as the distinguished young mistress of the Song Family, would one day stoop to such unscrupulous behavior.

Watching the woman confidently stop talking, Wei Yan’s mouth twitched into a brief smile.

Such thoughts could probably only come from a foolish woman.

Song Xin, growing slightly desperate towards the end, cleared her throat and feigned composure, "In any case, I can help you to win over Jiang An."

"What if I say I don’t want to join you?" Wei Yan tilted his head up slightly, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light.

Such a naive plan.

He had thought of taking Jiang An away with his own hands, especially after seeing Jiang An lying feverish and alone in the old house the other night, but he couldn’t.

Loving someone deeply necessarily meant putting them above all else.

He didn’t want to make Jiang An uncomfortable, and even more selfishly, he wanted to be by Jiang An’s side, regardless of the capacity.

Song Xin watched the man reject her plan without even listening and suddenly let out a laugh, noticing that while the man claimed he didn’t want Jiang An, his expression was full of restraint.

Some people hide their love, but that doesn’t mean they do not truly love you.

"You really like Jiang An, don’t you!" Song Xin probed.

The man sitting across listened, still maintaining his icy expression without speaking.

But inside, it was as if he had been precisely struck by an arrow.

"Now that she’s married, I will not disturb her any further," Wei Yan said calmly, a subdued sorrow rising in his eyes.

To love but not be able to have, only he understood what that felt like.

Song Xin looked at the man, so heartfelt in his surrender, and a trace of surprise flickered in her eyes.

Regrettably, she could never let go as he did.

She didn’t even know if her relentless pursuit was due to her love for Gao Chuan or her unwillingness to face years of failed efforts.

As the conversation had reached this point, there was no need to continue. The man stood up to leave, had taken a few steps when he suddenly heard Song Xin shouting from behind: "If you don’t want to disturb her, why do you ask her out, why do you stroke her head, why do you show such a look?"

It seemed that pretending and denial were often the norms in love, simply a silent way of wanting to stand by her side.

The woman’s words reached his ears, and Wei Yan abruptly stopped his steps, hesitating for a moment before deciding to ignore her and continued to walk away, his retreating figure tinged with loneliness.

Watching the man’s cold demeanor, Song Xin became infuriated. She thought she would meet an ally but ended up with someone stubborn as a dying duck.

However, she suddenly felt respect for this man; he was willing to let go, something she could probably never achieve.

Just when the woman was feeling somewhat dejected and stomping her feet, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang—it was her best friend calling her. Song Xin picked it up listlessly, but upon hearing what was said on the other end, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xinxin, guess what I found out for you? I know why Gao Chuan got married so quickly."

"What?" she asked, standing up from her chair, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
