LUO YAN nced at Shen Ji Yun in the driver''s seat. The other had a frown on his face ever since they left the hotel. He could kind of guessed why.


    "Did your cousin say anything bad about me?"


    At his question, Shen Ji Yun visibly flinched, confirming his guess. He already knew that that would be the case. This adorable guy wouldn''t be angry if his cousin mocked him, but if the one who''s mocked was Luo Yan, then there would be war.


    "What did he say?" he asked.


    "There''s no need for Yan Yan to hear about it," Shen Ji Yun said in a grave voice.


    "It''s fine. I want to hear what your cousin said."


    Shen Ji Yun frowned even harder. But at the end, he sighed, and told Luo Yan about the whole conversation he had with Shen Lin.


    "What is it?" Shen Ji Yun asked, after they had walked a couple of distance away from Luo Yan and the girl.


    "Is that girl really your girlfriend?"


    Shen Ji Yun''s brows furrowed. "Is there a reason for me to answer that? Or even for you to know the answer."


    Now, Shen Lin also frowned. "This is obviously your first rtionship. So, I won''t fault you for being careless. But you should understand that you''re part of the Shen family. So, you should be careful of the people you associate with."


    Ah, so this was what it''s about. Shen Ji Yun almost snorted when he heard it. This guy was simply warning him that Luo Yan was trying to get close to him because of some ''sinister'' reason. Probably thinking that he''s some kind of gold-digger or something.


    That''s almostughable. Luo Yan, of all people, didn''t need a drop of his money.


    "Some people can be opportunistic," Shen Lin continued. "For all you know, she might just be hanging around you to get something from you. With that shy look, and that flighty way of speaking, she definitely seems like the type."


    Shen Ji Yun felt like a vein on his forehead just popped when he heard that. "You have no right to insult Yan Yan. And even if what you said was true, that''s none of your damn business. So, why don''t you just continue to ignore my existence? Just like you have always done."


    After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Luo Yan.


    "Oh, so your cousin called me shy and flighty?" Luo Yan asked with interest after hearing Shen Ji Yun''s story.


    He could understand the flightyment since he deliberately spoke like that to irritate the other. But shy? That''s kind of exagerrated. Which part of this beautiful face was shy? Or was it because he was blinded by his beauty? He was shining so brightly that the guy couldn''t help but think that he''s shy. Yes, that''s definitely the case.


    "He''s just saying nonsense. He obviously doesn''t know what he''s saying. So, don''t mind him. You probably won''t have to see him again."


    Thatst part caught Luo Yan''s attention. He already knew that Shen Ji Yun didn''t have a good rtionship with his father''s side of the family. So, their opinions wouldn''t matter to him. If that''s the case, it shouldn''t also matter to him. Luo Yan would only care if it''s the opinion of someone important to Shen Ji Yun.


    Even if the Shen family couldn''t ept their rtionship, it wouldn''t matter. It''s not like they could do anything to them. Although the Shen family was a powerful figure in the political world, Luo Yan''s family wouldn''t be beaten in terms of financial power. Not to mention, there was Uncle Yi Mu, as well. The people who loved them would definitely protect them.


    "Then, let''s not talk about him anymore," he said, to end this topic of conversation. "We still have onest destination for this date, after all. So, let''s not spoil our mood."


    The corner of Shen Ji Yun''s lips turned up. "Good idea."


    Shijingshan Amusement Park, nestled in the western suburbs of Beijing, offered visitors a unique blend of nostalgia and modern entertainment. This smaller-scale amusement park had been a beloved attraction for locals and visitors alike for many years.


    This was their next destination.


    One of the park''s highlights was its picturesqueke, where visitors could enjoy leisurely boat rides while taking in the serene surroundings. Thiske was the reason Luo Yan picked this ce.


    He sped Shen Ji Yun''s hand and pulled the other. "Let''s go, Brother Ji Yun!"


    He excitedly pulled him towards the direction of theke. He had already memorized from the amusement park''s map where it was. So, he easily led Shen Ji Yun there.


    "Yan Yan, are we not going to go on the rides?" Shen Ji Yun asked.


    When he heard that this was their next destination, he thought for sure that they would go here for those rides. Especially the Ferris wheel. It would be quite romantic to ride it. Kissing as they reached the top would be the icing on the cake.


    Even though the two of them had already gone to an amusement park, that one was in the game. They weren''t together romantically then. So, it would have a different meaning now.


    "No, let''s do that next time. I have another n for tonight," Luo Yan said with a grin.


    It didn''t take long for them to reach theke.


    The tranquil waters mirror the vibrant lights that lined its shores, creating a breathtaking tapestry of colors. The reflections of nearby trees and attractions rippled gently across the surface, forming captivating patterns that seemed to shimmer with the moon''s soft glow.


    Luo Yan smiled when he saw it. Theke was even more beautiful than he expected.


    "Isn''t this another attraction here? Why aren''t there any people?" Shen Ji Yun asked curiously while looking around.


    "I rented theke, so we''re the only ones here for the time being." Luo Yan turned to him with a bright smile. "Should we go for a boat ride, Brother Ji Yun?"
