How could this be?
How could it be him?
Were her eyes deceiving her, or had she seen wrongly?
Why would Arthur be here?
Shen Yilan was completely stunned and nearly let out a scream uncontrollably.
This, it’s impossible!
But no matter how surprised she was, no matter how fearful, how incredulous, Arthur was indeed sitting here, without a shred of falsehood.
Seeing the shock and fear on Shen Yilan’s face, Arthur seemed unperturbed, even coyly lifting the corners of his lips with a charming smile, "Hi, darling, long time no see."
Shen Yilan suddenly broke into a cold sweat, her past flooding back in a torrent, those unbearable memories.
Those disgusting memories, which she so desperately wanted to forget but could never erase, were now laid bare for everyone to see.
So bloody and raw!
So, Di Mingjue knew about her shameful past?
Otherwise, why would he have gone to such lengths to bring Arthur here?
And with just the three of them!
No, perhaps he didn’t know, he shouldn’t know!
She didn’t think Di Mingjue would have the leisure to investigate her past.
He must have invited Arthur over just because they were friends, old classmates, with a competition coming up.
Shen Yilan forced herself to calm down, but her sweat-soaked forehead betrayed her past panic.
Hence, she could only offer an awkward smile and pretended to be gentle, "I didn’t mean that, don’t misunderstand."
This was already as assertive as she could be in front of Arthur. Any stronger words, and she truly feared that Arthur might fly into a rage and beat her.
If Di Mingjue wasn’t there, she probably would have thrown herself at his feet, kneeling.
This wasn’t her fault; Arthur was too deranged.
After speaking, Shen Yilan couldn’t help but steal a glance at Di Mingjue, wishing so much that he would come to her rescue.
Regrettably, Di Mingjue acted as if he saw nothing, coldly picking up a glass of red wine, taking a sip with a chilling frost on his face.
Shen Yilan shuddered violently; did he know everything?
Still in shock, suddenly her scalp seared with pain, and Shen Yilan let out a sharp scream.
Arthur had rudely grabbed her by the hair, pulling so hard it hurt her scalp.
