Seeing Zuo Qinghuan and Qin Wanshu walking out together, Han Shibin felt a bit nervous. However, he forced himself to appear calm. He wasn't entirely confident that Zuo Qinghuan would continue to be obedient and not reveal their previous affair, causing embarrassment for him.
Tsk tsk, both of them coming out together, Shi Yunyang glanced at Han Shibin beside her. Now, things have truly become lively.
"Do you also know each other?" Han Shibin asked first. If Zuo Qinghuan knew even Qin Wanshu, then Zuo Qinghuan might have some hidden intentions.
"The coffee and desserts here are good. I've been here a few times and seen Miss Zuo two or three times," Qin Wanshu's words specifically mentioned that her interactions with Zuo Qinghuan weren't substantial. She didn't want Han Shibin to trouble Zuo Qinghuan.
Hearing Qin Wanshu's words, Han Shibin felt somewhat relieved, but there was still a lingering unease. He gave Zuo Qinghuan a warning look, but Zuo Qinghuan dismissed Han Shibin's gaze without concern.
"Speaking of which, I really admire Miss Qin. She's beautiful and elegant. If I were a man, I'd surely fall in love at first sight," Zuo Qinghuan said with a half-smile, expressing genuine feelings.
"As a woman, it works too. Our Miss Qin has that charm that can captivate both men and women," Shi Yunyang looked at Zuo Qinghuan, making a meaningful remark.
Han Shibin doesn't understand why Zuo Qinghuan said that, but as long as Zuo Qinghuan remains tactful, he's fine with it. He had no idea that Zuo Qinghuan's words were genuine. On the other hand, Shi Yunyang is used to making a fuss, and Han Shibin doesn't take her words to heart.
Qin Wanshu maintains her usual composure. She remains silent on matters involving herself, sipping her coffee with a faint and serene smile.
Shi Yunyang doesn't want Qin Wanshu to stay out of it. No matter how Qin Wanshu feels, she is both the participant and executor of this affair. The situation, where the mistress is openly flirting with the lover’s wife in front of the former lover, is quite amusing. Unaware of the truth, the ex-lover thinks it's just a casual conversation.
"Miss Qin, how do you feel about having a female admirer? What do you think of our Xiao Huan's beauty?" Shi Yunyang asked with a smile.
"It's my honor, she's very lovely," Qin Wanshu answered with a thoughtful expression, followed by a smile.
Shi Yunyang didn't expect Qin Wanshu to answer the question so seriously. The scene seemed like flirting, and it surprised her that Qin Wanshu, who usually seems uninterested, could engage in such behavior, especially in front of so many people. It's truly eye-opening, and today wasn't a waste of entertainment.
Seeing Qin Wanshu's response, Zuo Qinghuan couldn't help but smile happily. She believed it reflected Qin Wanshu's true feelings. The most delightful thing was to flirt with someone's wife right in front of her husband.
"Miss Qin is now Madame Han. Whether it's a man or a woman, there's no chance for anyone," Han Shibin declared, asserting his ownership to avoid being ignored by the three women. He awkwardly tried to participate in the banter, being the only man present treating it as a joke.
Poor man who doesn't know anything, your wife has already put a green hat on you. Shi Yunyang bestows a certain amount of sympathy on Han Shibin, but more so revels in his misfortune.
No wall can't be toppled, only a mistress that doesn't work hard enough. Hmph! Zuo Qinghuan secretly thinks in her heart, she will redouble her efforts to bring down the wall.
Qin Wanshu smiled faintly, a trace of amusement flashing in her eyes.
"I just realized that you two are wearing identical watches!" Shi Yunyang pretended to be surprised, although she had clearly noticed it earlier.
"Wow, could it be the same man who gave them to you? Some men are foolish, buying the same things for their wives and mistresses. Then, one day, the mistress and the wife meet, realizing they have identical items..." Shi Yunyang continued to add fuel to the fire.

Han Shibin's face froze for a moment but quickly returned to normal. He inwardly cursed Shi Yunyang for bringing up inappropriate topics. Even if the current situation resembled a meeting between a wife and a mistress, he couldn't possibly make such a low-level mistake. Besides, neither of those watches was a gift from him. Revealing any connection between him and Zuo Qinghuan over unrelated watches would be unjust.
Zuo Qinghuan glanced at Shi Yunyang, feeling that her move was quite ruthless. She looked somewhat amused at Han Shibin and suddenly thought that Shi Yunyang wasn't too bad after all.
Qin Wanshu found the scene quite amusing. The watch was a gift from her, and now, with Shi Yunyang's manipulation, it gave a feeling of a thief catching a thief by shouting "thief." Clearly, the one caught was indeed a thief.
"This watch of mine wasn't gifted by Shibin; it can only be said that Miss Zuo and I like the same style of watch." Qin Wanshu, seeing Han Shibin's embarrassed expression, tactfully defused the situation for him. However, the underlying meaning was that she didn't know who gave the watch to Zuo Qinghuan.
"As for my watch, it was indeed given by my lover." Zuo Qinghuan looked at Qin Wanshu, smiling with a hint of ambiguity.
Isn't the lover, herself? Qin Wanshu noticed Shi Yunyang's teasing expression and Zuo Qinghuan's straightforward gaze. She felt a slight warmth on her face, but she quickly suppressed it.
Fortunately, in Chinese, ‘he’ and ‘she’ are pronounced the same, so Han Shibin just assumed that Zuo Qinghuan's watch was indeed a gift from some wealthy man. At this moment, he glared at Zuo Qinghuan, focusing his attention on her, fearing that she might play tricks on him. Thus, he didn't notice the subtle change in Qin Wanshu.
Qin Wanshu glanced at Shi Yunyang, indicating that this farce was over. Although Shi Yunyang still wanted to stir up trouble, she also feared upsetting Qin Wanshu. Recognizing that it was time to stop, she decided to call it quits. She had seen enough of the lively scene today, and now she could return happily.
"Oops, I almost forgot that there's something to do at the company. I have to go back first. Let's plan for the next meeting, still with all four of us..." After saying this, Shi Yunyang picked up her bag, walked to Qin Wanshu, kissed her on the cheek, and then walked away with infinite charm, stepping on her sharp golden high heels.
"I'm heading back to the company too; there are still some things to handle." Qin Wanshu also prepared to pick up her bag and return to the company.
"I'll come to pick you up in the evening," Han Shibin said considerately.
"No need, I have my car," Qin Wanshu refused in a calm tone.
Han Shibin was about to say something more, but he thought about his own evening appointment and decided against it.
Han Shibin was worried about leaving Qin Wanshu and Zuo Qinghuan alone and had to wait until Qin Wanshu left first.
"Be sensible, tearing faces benefits no one." Han Shibin warned Zuo Qinghuan again. Seeing Zuo Qinghuan nodding sensibly, he adjusted his tie and left the coffee shop, attracting curious glances from two waiters.
Not long after Han Shibin left, Zuo Qinghuan received a message from Qin Wanshu.
"Apply some medicine on your wrist, I'll come to your place in the evening." A simple sentence, yet it made Zuo Qinghuan feel very cared for. She would willingly be Qin Wanshu’s mistress for a lifetime.
“Mm, make sure to come early!" Zuo Qinghuan replied to the message, the tone full of coquetry.
Seeing the incoming message promptly, Qin Wanshu slightly raised the corners of her mouth, then put away her phone and continued to focus on her work.
In the evening, Qin Wanshu arrived very early.
"Are you still busy?" In fact, Qin Wanshu was outside the window, looking at Zuo Qinghuan's busy figure, feeling strange in her heart.
Zuo Qinghuan had been paying attention to her phone, so as soon as there was any activity, she immediately took it out.
When Qin Wanshu saw Zuo Qinghuan's smile while looking at her phone, she could clearly feel the emotional impact she had on her, and she felt satisfied in her heart.
"I'm not busy, what about you? Are you done?" Zuo Qinghuan quickly replied to the message.
“Mm, I'm done. I want to eat your cooking." Qin Wanshu saw Zuo Qinghuan's brighter smile after receiving this text message from her, and the smile at the corner of her mouth became pronounced.
"Come here, we'll go to the market to buy groceries, and I'll cook for you tonight." Zuo Qinghuan's mood brightened at the thought of seeing Qin Wanshu later, and her smile became more uncontrollable.
"Turn your head 180 degrees," Qin Wanshu said gently.
At this moment, Zuo Qinghuan reacted quickly. She turned her head and saw Qin Wanshu, who was smiling warmly at her. This woman, beautiful and elegant, stood outside like a perfect goddess. Through the glass window, the distance felt both close and far. Zuo Qinghuan looked at Qin Wanshu, suddenly feeling that, despite the thin layer of glass, there were two worlds separated by it. This feeling made Zuo Qinghuan uneasy, and she quickly walked towards the door, heading to Qin Wanshu.
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you come in?" Zuo Qinghuan asked with concern as she approached Qin Wanshu. Though it wasn't deep winter outside, it was still a bit chilly.
"I just arrived," Qin Wanshu replied gently.
"Qin Wanshu, you must be a very romantic person," Zuo Qinghuan said with a smile.
“Mm?" Qin Wanshu raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled. She always thought of herself as a reserved person.
"These two appearances were very romantic, like a knight, no, a princess, or rather, a goddess..." It made Zuo Qinghuan feel like she was being favored by a goddess. Qin Wanshu rarely took the initiative to meet her, so these two occasions of her coming to find her, made her feel pleasantly surprised.
