Testing Liu Chang'an

Zhu Juntang stood up and paced back and forth in the restaurant. The restaurant, less than 20 square meters, was a bit small. Several green branches with leaves no bigger than coins stretched in from the window, and tiny flower buds, like grains of rice, were still covered with water droplets, which Qin Yanan had sprayed earlier, giving them a fresh and elegant feel.

"Am I really overthinking things?" Zhu Juntang wasn't the kind of person who would be easily persuaded or fooled. "If she really is Ye Sijin, what would you do?"

"Say Hello?"

"I'm being serious with you." Zhu Juntang glanced into the kitchen and lowered her voice, "This is a time for you to make a choice: are you overjoyed to see Ye Sijin again out of nostalgia, or are you heartbroken that Qin Yanan has been replaced?"

"Why should I have to make the choice?" Liu Chang'an looked at Zhu Juntang with incomprehension. "The issue you're raising concerns Ye Sijin and Qin Yanan. Why should I have to make the choice? Besides, the situation you described doesn't even exist. You're just being idle."

Zhu Juntang had no choice but to give up. Thinking it over carefully, she realized Liu Chang'an was very likely trying to fool her. He wasn't like Zhou Dongdong, easily swayed by a few snacks. Even if she asked him, he wouldn't tell her the truth. Why? Because to him, Ye Sijin and Qin Yanan were definitely more like family than she, Zhu Juntang. Whatever he wanted to do, he would handle it himself; why would he consult with Zhu Juntang or tell her?

"A man's heart is like a rock at the bottom of the sea," Zhu Juntang sighed inwardly. She knew she had to continue observing and investigating this matter herself; she couldn't rely on Liu Chang'an.

"Don't provoke Qin Yanan. Don't think that just because you're a fairy, her father is the Jade Emperor in Junsha." Liu Chang'an reminded Zhu Juntang.

Zhu Juntang didn't care about that. "At most, she'll spank me. My mom and his parents have a good relationship; adults don't interfere in children's affairs."

"That's true, we all celebrate Children's Day on June 1st, and we don't let the kids' noise linger overnight." Liu Chang'an nodded in agreement.

Qin Yanan came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of sliced fruit. She pointed to the transparent display case on the wall and said, "Take out the macarons and a dessert plate. You can go upstairs and sit down first. I'll make some tea and then come up."

This time, Zhu Juntang didn't call anyone to help. She looked around and found that the plate for macarons was the lightest, so she took that and gave the rest to Liu Chang'an.

The rooftop viewing platform utilizes the entire apartment's Rooftop, with an external transparent swimming pool along the edge. Potted bamboo plants on both sides act as a natural barrier, blocking the view of visitors from the public platform on the other side.

"The pool is finished, but it's too small. You can only swim back and forth a bit, it's more like a water play area... Oh, no water gun." Zhu Juntang turned on the air conditioner; the open-air observation deck was still a bit hot.

Liu Chang'an walked to the edge to look at the scenery. Red fences were scattered around the platform. From the lower position, he could see that there were already many tourists on the public platform on the right, even though it was the hottest time of the afternoon. Several large parasols were full of people.

Under a large black umbrella, a tall man was looking in this direction. When he saw Liu Chang'an, he showed a slightly surprised expression. He pointed his finger at the edge of the umbrella, and the attendant holding the umbrella for him quickly raised it higher.

Qin Yanan brewed the tea and brought it over. Liu Chang'an took it and continued looking around.

Seeing the man downstairs smiling and waving in their direction, Qin Yanan nodded and calmly sat back down.

"In autumn, the nights will be calmer, and this place will become the scene of Birdsong Ravine." Liu Chang'an sat back down to drink tea. Although this place was too noisy during the day, Liu Chang'an had always been someone who could find peace in the midst of chaos, and he also agreed with Qin Yanan's choice of residence.

I'm very poor, so of course I can't make the same choices as others.

Zhu Juntang also ran to the edge to take a look, a slight smirk appearing on his lips before he ran back.

"Ma Weiming is here again. He's like a toad Cygnus a swan. He doesn't even look in the mirror. He's actually setting his sights on our Qin Family's little princess." Zhu Juntang glanced at Liu Chang'an. "Although I used to think he was talented, now I think he's too vulgar."

"Ma Weiming's company raised $350 million in its Series D1 funding round. Your Zhu Family led the investment. Aren't you just slapping yourselves in the face by talking about him like that?" Qin Yanan said with a smile. Junsha is considered a new first-tier city, but there aren't many prominent figures in the prominent fields of entrepreneurship, investment, and finance. Ma Weiming is one of them, and also one of the few outstanding male figures that Zhu Juntang has humbly befriended since coming to Junsha.

Qin Yanan had just arrived in Junsha when she mentioned that her family had arranged blind dates for her. Zhu Juntang had mentioned Ma Weiming before, thinking that he was a possible candidate for a blind date with the Qin Family. Now, I don't know why she suddenly dislikes Ma Weiming.

"Business is business, it's not the same thing," Zhu Juntang said matter-of-factly.

"Let's have some tea." Qin Yanan frowned slightly.

"I feel like if you stay in Junsha for a year, you'll really gain weight, doing nothing all day but making desserts, tea, and meals," Liu Chang'an said to Qin Yanan. "I'll take some back for Zhou Dongdong."

As he spoke, Liu Chang'an went downstairs by himself, took a cardboard box from the restaurant, and filled it with some macarons and desserts.

"We were talking about Ma Weiming." Zhu Juntang felt that it was impossible for a man not to care about this. Liu Chang'an might indeed only see Qin Yanan as a junior, just like he saw her, Zhu Juntang, but now that Qin Yanan might be Ye Sijin, how could Liu Chang'an not care?

This is also an opportunity to test Liu Chang'an. If Liu Chang'an cares about Ma Weiming pursuing Qin Yanan, it means that Qin Yanan is likely Ye Sijin, and only then will Liu Chang'an care.

"Ma Weiming is Ma Benwei's older brother. Like father, like son, each son is different. Perhaps having such an outstanding older brother is what makes Ma Benwei so muddle-headed. But it's said that Ma Weiming treats Ma Benwei very well, basically doing whatever his brother asks. Ma Benwei's luxury cars were all gifts from Ma Weiming," Qin Yanan briefly explained, looking at Liu Chang'an just like Zhu Juntang. "Now he comes to the top of Mount Lu every day to enjoy the scenery, but he doesn't actively approach people or knock on doors. He just stays here to admire the view for a while and then leaves."

"That kind of person is the most terrifying. They're patient, yet they don't give anyone a chance to refuse, but they also know exactly what they mean. They act like they're very sincere and patiently waiting. Tsk tsk, if it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely fall into their trap." Zhu Juntang clicked her tongue in amazement. "Luckily, Nan Nan and I are both fairies who look down on ordinary mortals."

"You're a fairy, I'm not." Qin Yanan refused to be a fairy with Zhu Juntang, but that didn't mean she would look down on ordinary mortals.

Liu Chang'an the desserts, completely ignoring Qin Yanan and Zhu Juntang's probing. Although Qin Yanan didn't know what she was testing, she wanted to see his reaction. Zhu Juntang was naturally disappointed but unwilling to give up.
