Chapter 346: 258. She knew it a long time ago

Deng Yuan had not expected to encounter Lu Jincheng in his own store.

He was initially stunned and his eyes widened with surprise, quickly looking over the woman beside the man, Zhou Sinin, before squeezing out a smile.

"Xiao Liu, bring a plate of nuts."

After all, Deng Yuan had been hands-on with many things recently, and he had grown quite a bit.

In business, greeting customers warmly was essential.

Despite his confusion, Deng Yuan’s first reaction was to maintain a considerable degree of politeness.

"The junior is here."

Deng Yuan pulled up a stool and sat down next to the two.

"Are you here... to spend Christmas with your girlfriend?"

While polite, Deng Yuan’s patience was limited.

In the corner, Lu Jincheng and Zhou Sinin sat side by side, their demeanor intimate—it was obvious to anyone that their relationship was more than just friendship.

Deng Yuan certainly had to ask for clarification.

Because he could never forget that afternoon.

The same pleasant sunshine, yet it was a heart-wrenching glimpse.

That afternoon, Deng Yuan saw through the window of a Range Rover his goddess, Mou Keyan, stretching her nylon-clad beautiful legs, allowing this man’s hands to roam unchecked, taking whatever they wanted.

Seeing this, he had almost resigned himself to his fate.

But what was going on today?

Christmas, and Mou Mou wasn’t with this guy?

Lu Jincheng was out with another beautiful girl—what did that mean?

Could it be...

In Jiang City, there were many talented and handsome men, and a comeback was not impossible.

Did I, Deng Yuan, have another chance?

Soon, Lu Jincheng gave him a clear answer.

"Yes."

The man smiled, non-committal.

Perhaps fearing he hadn’t made himself clear enough for the audience to understand,

Lu Jincheng then gestured to the girl beside him, adding another line.

"My girlfriend, Zhou Sinin."

"Nice to meet you, senior."

Zhou Sinin pursed her lips and also nodded at Deng Yuan, greeting him warmly with a smile.

It was her first time being introduced by Lu Jincheng in this way, and she felt delighted inside.

They say that a significant sign of progress in a romantic relationship is integrating into each other’s social circles.

Having ample social endorsement also provides a sense of security to the girl.

It often starts with classmates, then roommates, good friends...

Until the bond between the two grows as deep and unbreakable as a towering tree rooted deep in the ground.

But by these standards, his progress couldn’t keep up with her own.

After all, of Lu Jincheng’s friends and classmates, she had only met a few.

Being introduced openly to each other, Deng Yuan was the first.

Unlike her, her best friend Guan Guan and her good roommate Song Wan, Lu Jincheng had met them all.

"Ah... nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Deng Yuan was clearly taken aback again, his gaze lingering a bit longer on Zhou Sinin.

Beautiful.

This girl was truly beautiful.

Deng Yuan knew that she had started a business with Lu Jincheng before, and Golden Stone Coffee was the fruit of their joint efforts.

He had been to the Beiyuan branch a few times and had watched Zhou Sinin from a distance.

But none of that compared to the stunning, face-to-face encounter today.

Her beauty was a completely different type from Mou Keyan’s, exuding a certain elegance in her demeanor and dress, yet naturally radiating approachability.

When Zhou Sinin smiled, her eyes curved and charming little dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, seemingly able to draw people in with their allure.

Why are there always girls of this standard around him?

No, wait!

Deng Yuan suddenly realized.

This is his acknowledged official girlfriend, so where’s Miao Miao?

He had personally seen Lu Jincheng getting handsy with Mou Keyan!

What does that mean?

"Miao Miao?"

Just as the waiter brought over a plate of nuts, Deng Yuan, watching the two feed each other, impulsively couldn’t help but ask.

Both being local-born second generations of Jiang City, Deng Yuan and Luo Yongfei clearly didn’t think alike.

Luo Yongfei deeply believed in the family ethos of keeping a low profile, adept at pulling strings behind the scenes with a smile that hid knives.

As for Deng Yuan, he was mostly more direct and more impulsive.

He hadn’t even chatted casually with Lu Jincheng for a few moments or shown a bit of patient façade.

He immediately asked about Mou Keyan, whom he was most concerned about.

"Hmm?"

Lu Jincheng didn’t quite understand and blinked.

"I mean, if this lady is your girlfriend, then what about Miao Miao?"

Deng Yuan tried to control his voice, filled with righteous indignation.

"No, Miao Miao has her own life. How would I know where she is? Why come asking me?"

Lu Jincheng remained unflustered, perfectly composed in his response.

"Alright, alright."

Deng Yuan burst out laughing in frustration, his chest heaving.

So you’re just playing dumb, huh!

"Junior, your girlfriend doesn’t know about your relationship with Miao Miao, does she?"

Deng Yuan’s words burst out impulsively, unfiltered.

"Of course she knows."

Lu Jincheng’s expression remained unchanged, as if Deng Yuan’s question couldn’t touch him at all.

"Miao Miao is a top host at Golden Stone Media, an invited guest at Douyu Carnival, and has walked the red carpet with me."

"She’s seen all this with her own eyes, she knows. What’s your point?"

"The relationship is clear to everyone; it’s just between a company artist and her boss."

"What are you trying to say?"

The man’s tone gradually turned icy, his gaze sharp, like a sword unsheathed, thrusting directly into Deng Yuan’s heart.

"..."

Deng Yuan hadn’t expected this turn of events, glancing at Zhou Sinin who seemed as usual, he couldn’t help taking a deep breath, stopping himself from speaking further.

Fuck!

What’s this?

No, looking at Zhou Sinin’s expression, she really knows?

Deng Yuan was dumbfounded on the spot, suddenly unsure of what to say.

Zhou Sinin didn’t object, indicating she indeed knew about Mou Keyan.

In this situation, if he continued to describe how Lu Jincheng and Miao Miao had been intimate in the car that day...

That seemed a bit off.

Deng Yuan found himself in a difficult position, swallowing the rest of his words.

On one hand, he lacked concrete proof; looking at the two opposite him in their loving honeymoon phase, whether they’d believe him was another matter.

On the other hand, he suddenly realized a cold, merciless fact.

Even if Zhou Sinin believed him, the two individuals in question weren’t fools; how could they possibly admit it?

Who would admit to having an intimate relationship with another girl in front of his official girlfriend?

Getting off the passenger side of the Range Rover, Mou Keyan certainly wouldn’t admit to being harassed by her boss in the past.

In the end, the only clown here would be Deng Yuan himself.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing, I often watch Miao Miao’s live streams, just curious."

Seeing the unfriendly look in Lu Jincheng’s eyes, Deng Yuan suddenly softened.
