Tang Yumeng's expression looked slightly better, but the following sentence from Bai Yifan left him dumbstruck: "Then tell me, what does it mean when you and Fang Yuan conspired to break me up with Lin Chuan?"

"I..." Bai Yifan's mind was racing madly, and after a moment, he hurriedly said: "Although I'm reluctant to say it, I have to admit that it was because I loved you too much that I did such a thing. Besides, this matter really doesn't have much to do with me."

"How can you say that?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"Because it was Fang Yuan who took the initiative to come to me." Bai Yifan said with a bitter smile: "Fang Yuan has feelings for Lin Chuan and heard about the ambiguous relationship between them. She wanted to find me, hoping to work with me to break you two up. At that time, I was so head over heels in love with you that I agreed in a moment of confusion. Afterwards, I really regretted it and always wanted to tell you, but I couldn't find the opportunity. The next day you went abroad, so the chance was even less."

Bai Yifan was indeed cunning, managing to shift all the blame onto Lin Chuan, who was not present anyways. Whatever he said depended solely on his own words. Moreover, Bai Yifan's half-truths actually made Tang Yumeng somewhat suspicious.

That very night, Lin Chuan and Fang Yuan did indeed kiss deeply. If there wasn't an unclear relationship between them, how could they possibly kiss? Tang Yumeng's mind was a mess, frustrated when thinking about all these infuriating things.

"Forget it." Tang Yumeng supported her head with her hands, saying: "It's all in the past, I don't want to pursue who is right or wrong."

"Exactly, let's leave the past behind." Bai Yifan eagerly nodded, saying: "We should look towards the future, not the past."

"Also, our relationship is just that of ordinary friends." Tang Yumeng looked at Bai Yifan, saying: "What's the meaning of sending me a bouquet of blue enchantresses?"

"I..." Upon hearing this, Bai Yifan laughed and said: "When I found out you were back from the United States, I rushed over without carefully selecting anything, just hastily bought a bouquet from the flower shop. Xiao Yu, to celebrate the success of your inspection trip, I've decided to take you out to dinner tonight."

"That won't be necessary." Tang Yumeng shook her head, saying: "I've just returned, and there's a lot of official business I need to deal with."

"Then..." Bai Yifan pondered for a moment, saying: "How about another day then? What time do you finish work? I'll come to pick you up."

"I live just across the street, I can walk back on my own." Tang Yumeng lowered her head to continue reading her documents.

Bai Yifan's face showed a bit of embarrassment. Ever since he came of age, women had always thrown themselves at him; he had never actively pursued any woman. This was his first time, and Bai Yifan found it hard to save face, but still, he endured it, remaining calm and composed.

"Alright, you're busy these days, so I'll come back another time." Bai Yifan stood up and left.

As he walked out, Bai Yifan stopped several times as if he had something to say, but ultimately he couldn't bring himself to speak and strode out with large steps.

After Bai Yifan closed the door, Tang Yumeng put down the document in her hands. Actually, she had no mood to look at documents. Thinking of what Bai Yifan had just said made her furious. She had not expected Lin Chuan and Fang Yuan to actually have feelings for each other. Tang Yumeng was agitated.

............

After leaving the City Committee, Bai Yifan was in a bad mood, his face gloomy and extremely depressed.

He drove back to the Extraordinary Bar.

At the entrance of the bar, a red Beetle was parked. Fang Yuan was dressed boldly, trendy. She was holding a slim strawberry-flavored cigarette in her mouth. She sat on the hood of the car, with her long legs enticingly visible beneath the short skirt, yet tantalizingly concealed. Her black high heels accentuated her figure's curves. Many passersby stopped to gaze.
