"Well..." On the other end of the phone, Kedan pondered for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would break up with her in a public place, making a big scene... You have leverage over her now, so she wouldn't dare to do anything..."
"Break up in a public place?" Qiu Mowen's bones began to ache again, the pain rendering him unable to think clearly, so he asked casually.
"Hey, you don't get it, do you? Chen Shanni is a celebrity too, and your sister is a celebrity... You could choose a Western restaurant, have a little argument during dinner, and in a fit of anger, break up... It's quite normal... At that point, someone will definitely leak it to the reporters. Who would be afraid of the whole world knowing? Celebrities care about their image; if you embarrass her in public like that, would she still cling on?"
After hearing Kedan's analysis, Qiu Mowen found it reasonable and voiced his agreement.
Kedan continued, "You'd better find a gossip reporter yourself; then they can capture the scene of you two fighting in public... But this might negatively impact your reputation and your sister's..."
My reputation? Sigh, what does reputation matter for someone who might not live much longer? But...
The mention of Qiu Ruolan sent a chill down Qiu Mowen's spine. He couldn't help but think of the worst-case scenario: what if Chen Shanni didn't buy into this and decided to go down with him?
While lost in thought, Qiu Mowen's bones began to ache again. He set his phone aside and took out a pill bottle from his pocket, trembling as he opened it and poured out some medication before swallowing it.
Yet another voice emerged in his mind: going down together...
Going down together? That's right; no matter what, he couldn't let anyone harm his family... No, his loved one...
In his heart, Qiu Mowen had already made a decision...
He then hung up on Kedan and dialed Ilsn's number to arrange a meeting at the Western restaurant.
...
As Kedan had predicted, when he woke up in the morning, Chen Shanni brought up marriage. Qiu Mowen successfully provoked Chen Shanni's anger. Coupled with the photo of Autumn Wind in the suitcase, Chen Shanni's emotions were already reaching their peak; all that was left was for things to escalate dramatically at this Western restaurant...
As everything proceeded according to his plan, Qiu Mowen couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.
Now, he had once again angered Chen Shanni, which was just perfect...
He held his breath, anticipating Chen Shanni's fury, looking forward to the loud argument that would follow—Qiu Mowen felt an unprecedented sense of ease; he no longer worried about Chen Shanni using Qiu Ruolan and Autumn Wind to blackmail him.
He was simply waiting for a quarrel, a quarrel that would be earth-shattering, and a breakup ceremony witnessed by everyone.
Chen Shanni's anger grew stronger, and this scent excited Qiu Mowen, like a shark sensing blood from miles away. To celebrate, he even slightly closed his eyes, silently waiting and counting down.
However, after a minute passed, there was no roar as he had imagined. Qiu Mowen opened his eyes and found Chen Shanni staring at something behind him with a sly smile, her expression showing an uncontrollable delight that pierced through Qiu Mowen.
In a panic, Qiu Mowen turned around and quickly found the answer to Chen Shanni's smile—her gaze was fixed on a couple by the window.
Does Chen Shanni know them? Qiu Mowen thought, and so he lightly scanned over. But when his gaze landed on the girl in the couple, his body felt as if struck by lightning; the earlier ease vanished in an instant, arrows of panic shot into his heart...
The girl was none other than Autumn Wind, and the young man sitting across from her was not Liu Jian!
How could Autumn Wind be here? Qiu Mowen was shocked; she was the last person who should appear at his breakup scene.
He felt his heart racing fiercely as he focused on the young man sitting across from Autumn Wind. He had enchanting peach blossom eyes that could captivate any woman, golden hair that was slightly wavy, resembling those idols from Johnny's Entertainment. Qiu Mowen thought this person looked somewhat familiar but couldn't recall his name.
The young man spoke while keeping his eyes on Autumn Wind, wearing a deeply serious expression!
What kind of relationship did he have with Autumn Wind...
As Qiu Mowen stared in shock at Autumn Wind and that man, Chen Shanni quickly pulled her phone from her bag and pressed a few numbers!
"Who are you calling?" Qiu Mowen noticed Chen Shanni's actions and shifted his focus. He lowered his voice and reached out to snatch the phone from Chen Shanni's hand.
Chen Shanni lightly stepped back, avoiding Qiu Mowen's hand. She mischievously winked at him, placed her index finger over her lips, and said, "Shh." Then she pointed to the surrounding waitstaff, making a heart shape with her mouth.
Chen Shanni's call connected, and she wore a smug expression as she said mysteriously, "Hello, is this Liu Jian? Hehe... it doesn't matter who I am; what's important is what I've seen... If I'm not mistaken, your girlfriend—no, she should be your wife now—is doing something behind your back that would break your heart... Interested in taking a look?"
She tapped the address on the menu with her long nails, quickly read it out loud, then hung up the phone and looked innocently at Qiu Mowen.
She placed her phone on the table, slowly sat down, and suddenly cradled her head in her hands in an exaggerated manner, making a comically ugly face. "Oh no, what have I done? I actually called Liu Jian!"
Qiu Mowen furrowed his brows tightly, staring intensely at Chen Shanni; his deep-set eyes shot two arrows capable of killing.
According to last night's plan, this would indeed be the best time to launch the battle for his breakup with Chen Shanni. However... he had to control his emotions...
Qiu Mowen and Chen Shanni locked eyes for a few minutes, but he ultimately compromised. He couldn't allow Autumn Wind to get caught up in this war between him and Chen Shanni.
He reached out to grab the phone Chen Shanni had placed on the table, but she was quicker and picked it up first. Qiu Mowen's hand landed on top of hers.
His grip was initially very strong, but upon touching Chen Shanni's hand, it felt as if he had been burned and he quickly withdrew.
He let out a slight sigh of relief, realizing his actions were too intense. He slowly extended his hand again and gently stroked Chen Shanni's hand, his eyes filled with sorrow as he pleaded, "Don't make jokes like this. Alright, I promise you we'll get married... You're calling Liu Jian right now; you saw it wrong... Tell Liu Jian that Autumn Wind is having dinner with me!"
Chen Shanni was slightly surprised at first but then stunned. However, she quickly realized—Qiu Ruolan and Autumn Wind's situation was likely no secret to Liu Jian by now. She let out a cold laugh. "So quickly becoming one big family!"
Despite her cold smile, Chen Shanni still picked up her phone with a joyful expression. "Alright, I'll call Liu Jian to explain..."
As she started dialing back, Liu Jian's phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. Chen Shanni shrugged and put on an innocent look. "It seems like he's on his way here..."
"Fuk!" Qiu Mowen cursed, glaring at Chen Shanni again before getting up to intercept Liu Jian at the door.
Just as Qiu Mowen stood up, he heard a "click" sound from somewhere, indicating that someone was taking a photo.
Chen Shanni also stood up and, along with Qiu Mowen, looked towards Autumn Wind's position. They were surprised to find that Autumn Wind's hand was overlapping with that of a man, looking quite intimate.
At that moment, Autumn Wind also noticed the sound of the camera. Her hand quickly retracted, and she looked around with a terrified expression.
Worried about being discovered by Autumn Wind, Qiu Mowen quickly sat back down, using the partition to block her line of sight.
The other diners in the restaurant also heard the camera sound and began to stand up and look around.
Amidst the surrounding noise, Qiu Mowen felt as if his entire world was shrouded in clouds. He really did not want to see anything happen between Autumn Wind and Liu Jian.
Suddenly, someone sat down beside him. Startled, Qiu Mowen instinctively tried to stand up but was pressed down by a hand.
The person sitting next to him was none other than Ilsn, who was holding a camera. The earlier clicking sound had come from him.
Ilsn gently patted Qiu Mowen's shoulder and leaned close to his ear, saying excitedly, "Thank you so much for letting me capture such explosive footage! Just wait a moment; I'll treat you later!" He then lifted his head and gave a slight nod to Chen Shanni.
After that, he raised his camera and walked towards Autumn Wind, who was still looking around.
Chen Shanni clearly did not anticipate the sudden appearance of this ilsn. She suddenly remembered something, slapped her head, and exclaimed, "Oh no, that person is the Korean idol who recently came to promote, Autumn Wind is in trouble!"
Before Chen Shanni could finish, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside, surrounding Autumn Wind and the man, blocking the ilsn who was trying to get closer to them. The sudden wall of people caused the ilsn to stumble back a bit, nearly falling.
Through the gaps between the people, Qiu Mowen saw Autumn Wind's pale face.
The restaurant door had already closed, and a few tall and strong individuals stood at the entrance.
What should I do? Should I go help Autumn Wind? Who are these suddenly appearing people? Fans? Reporters? Bodyguards? Qiu Mowen stood up, fists clenched, unsure of what to do.
Suddenly, a figure in sportswear squeezed in—it was Liu Jian!
Qiu Mowen let out a long sigh of relief, as if a ton of weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
The blocked ilsn pretended to be nonchalant as they moved in front of Qiu Mowen. Before he could say anything, a waiter rushed over, politely asking them to leave.
"Excuse me, you three, there's a situation in the restaurant! Could you please..."
Before the waiter could finish, Chen Shanni grabbed Qiu Mowen and quickly walked out the door. Once they got into the car, she couldn't help but gasp for breath, as if she had been greatly startled.
