Tang Yumeng was stunned, almost fainting. It seemed that Lin Chuan really was far inferior to Bai Yifan in terms of emotional intelligence. The man in front of her lacked a sense of romance. However, he was a man of strong character. Alas, no man was perfect. Bai Yifan lacked the manly spirit, the steel-like nature that Lin Chuan possessed. And Lin Chuan lacked the sweet-talking, romantic traits that girls loved about Bai Yifan.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Chuan looked at Tang Yumeng, puzzled.

"I…" Tang Yumeng pursed her lips.

"What exactly did you lose?" Lin Chuan quickly added: "So that I can have someone look for it."

"Silly." Tang Yumeng gently embraced Lin Chuan, saying, "No need to look for it, what I lost is on you."

"What?" Lin Chuan exclaimed in surprise: "What is it?"

"My heart," Tang Yumeng scoffed, thinking this little rascal really had no sense of romance at all, just like a block of wood.

"Your heart?" Lin Chuan was taken aback.

At that moment, he suddenly realized, it was her heart? Lin Chuan hugged Tang Yumeng tightly, saying, "Sis, you really had me worried. I thought that beast Bai Yifan did something indecent to you, scared me to death."

"Go put on some clothes, look at you," Tang Yumeng rolled her eyes at Lin Chuan, saying, "coming out without even wearing clothes."

"I was in a rush," Lin Chuan shivered, saying, "I'm not going back, wouldn't want my mom to worry."

"Then… then get in the car quickly." Tang Yumeng pulled Lin Chuan into the car.

The car started, the heater running. Lin Chuan and Tang Yumeng sat in the back, the air inside very warm. Lin Chuan smiled, "Sis, why are you looking for me so late? Aren't you going back to sleep? You have work tomorrow."

"No." Tang Yumeng suddenly threw herself into Lin Chuan's arms, initiating a kiss: "Kiss me."

Faced with the beautiful woman's request for a kiss, how could Lin Chuan refuse? He kissed her without hesitation. Their kiss was fervent and passionate. Tang Yumeng's tongue intertwined with Lin Chuan's.

Tang Yumeng cuddled up in Lin Chuan's arms like a little deer. Lin Chuan held Tang Yumeng, hands clumsily moving.

Soft sob...

Tang Yumeng whispered softly, her body feeling tender and weak, as though she had melted into Lin Chuan's arms.

Tang Yumeng jolted, she quickly held down Lin Chuan's hands, saying, "Lin Chuan, stop!"

"Sis..." Lin Chuan looked at Tang Yumeng with a wronged expression.

"I... I don't want to," Tang Yumeng said bashfully, "don't be like this."

By this time, Lin Chuan was already burning with desire, but hearing Tang Yumeng say this, he had no choice but to stop. A man's self-control is tested by whether he can halt in crucial moments. Being able to stop under such circumstances is what makes a true man.

Lin Chuan sighed, "Sis, you really torment a person."

"Hehe…" Tang Yumeng hugged Lin Chuan, nestling against him, laughing, "I knew you wouldn't force me."

"How could I dare," Lin Chuan said with a bitter smile.

The two snuggled in the car, occasionally sharing soft whispered kisses and gentle caresses, but never crossing that final barrier. Lin Chuan respected Tang Yumeng, but as a woman, Tang Yumeng never fully understood the torment a man could feel in such situations.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Changlin Factory.

A white Mercedes was parked stealthily in the dark.

"Just as you see," Fang Yuan crossed her arms, saying, "Mr. Bai, the woman you like runs off to secretly meet Lin Chuan after ditching you. What do you think about that?"

Bai Yifan, with a cigarette in his mouth, watched calmly.

After he left the City Committee compound, he encountered Fang Yuan, who told him Tang Yumeng would definitely go find Lin Chuan. Initially, he was skeptical, but now, he believed it wholeheartedly. Seeing Tang Yumeng holding Lin Chuan, Bai Yifan felt his heart break.

"So what?" Bai Yifan chuckled, "Tang Yumeng is Lin Chuan's girlfriend, even if they meet in private, it's quite normal. Being a man, I understand. So, I think it's nothing."

"Really nothing?" Fang Yuan smiled.

"Of course!" Bai Yifan nodded.

"Alright." Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Since you think it's nothing, then let it be nothing. Anyway, as a woman, I feel it's not worth it for you."

Bai Yifan was startled and asked, "Who exactly are you? On what basis are you helping me?"

"Me?" Fang Yuan smiled lightly and said, "I'm Lin Chuan's pursuer. To some extent, Tang Yumeng is my love rival, and Lin Chuan is your love rival. Hence, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. We can be considered friends now."

Bai Yifan looked surprised and said, "You... you are Lin Chuan's pursuer?"

Although Fang Yuan wasn't as charming and seductive as Tang Yumeng, she was still an exceptional woman with a proud figure and a captivating face. Any average man would undoubtedly be powerless against Fang Yuan. Yet, why would such an outstanding woman become a pursuer of Lin Chuan? This puzzled and surprised Bai Yifan.

"Yes," Fang Yuan nodded.

"But, I don't understand, what is so good about Lin Chuan?" Bai Yifan asked, puzzled, "Why do you like him?"

"Isn't it the same? The person you like is also throwing herself at Lin Chuan," Fang Yuan's lips curled up slightly.

"This..." Bai Yifan hesitated.

"In my opinion, Lin Chuan is a very outstanding man." Fang Yuan took a long, strawberry-flavored cigarette from a pack, placed it in her mouth, lit it, then took a deep drag. After a bout of exhaling smoke, Fang Yuan laughed and said, "Just as men love beauties, and beauties love heroes. Women also like outstanding men."

"Then tell me, what exactly is outstanding about Lin Chuan?" Bai Yifan really was puzzled.

In Bai Yifan's opinion, Lin Chuan was nothing more than an ordinary loser. How could he be considered an outstanding man? He had no good family background, no Western education, no wealth, and lacked a noble demeanor. What made Lin Chuan considered outstanding?

"Men judging other men is like looking at flowers in the fog, but women viewing men, that's different," Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Some things, you just wouldn't understand. But eventually, you will. We can cooperate now. Find a way to break them up. Tang Yumeng is yours, but Lin Chuan is mine."

Bai Yifan laughed and said, "Why should I agree with you?"

"Because of your love for Tang Yumeng," the corners of Fang Yuan's mouth lifted slightly, "And besides, are you not madly in love with Tang Yumeng as well?"

"I promised Xiao Yu to compete with Lin Chuan fairly," Bai Yifan said coldly.

"Yes," Fang Yuan nodded, "But, how would they know about our private deal?"

Bai Yifan hesitated for a moment, not agreeing immediately.

"No problem, I can wait for your good news," Fang Yuan smiled.

After speaking, Fang Yuan pushed open the car door and stepped out. Her figure quickly disappeared into the cold, dark night. Bai Yifan's expression darkened, and he immediately started the car and turned around, leaving the entrance of Changlin Factory.

The panoramic sunroof of the Cayenne was open, revealing the cold night sky's stars. The beautiful, breathtaking starry sky felt profoundly intense and emotional. The two lay in the car, gazing up at the starry sky, observing the beautiful, brilliant Milky Way refined by the cold air, feeling the infinity and mystery of the universe.

"Sister, why do you think humans are so insignificant compared to the universe?" Lin Chuan curiously asked.

"No." Tang Yumeng shook her head and said, "Humans are not insignificant, for there is no universe without humans. If there were no humans, where would the universe come from?"

"Sister, that's not right," Lin Chuan laughed, "You're a politician, how can you say such idealistic things? Shouldn't you be a thoroughly materialistic politician?"

"It depends on the situation," Tang Yumeng laughed, "When facing the universe, many problems of humanity are unsolvable. Just like there are many mysteries in this world that remain unsolved, such as the love between men and women. Why do I love you and not Bai Yifan?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan laughed, feeling proud, "Isn't it because of my charm?"

"Shameless." Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan and said, "You say, you have no money, no background, no education. How could I possibly fall in love with you? And you're always swearing, like to fight, and love showing off. It's really interesting."

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan hugged Tang Yumeng, gently kissed her cheek, and said, "Although I'm without money, background, or education, I have a heart that loves you, and I can do things other men can't. I can sacrifice myself to protect you, I even..."

"Stop," Tang Yumeng immediately covered Lin Chuan's mouth, "I won't allow you to say such inauspicious words."

"Alright, I won't say it," Tang Yumeng laughed.

The two cuddled in the car like a couple, after which Tang Yumeng suggested saying goodbye. Lin Chuan reluctantly saw Tang Yumeng off.
