Wyneth was stunned. 'Did Hayden just smack my butt?' Almost instantly, her cheeks turned a deep shade of red. She gritted her teeth and snapped at Hayden, "What did you do that for?"Hayden had simply meant to give Wyneth a playful smack, hoping it would get her to stop joking around so much and challenging him all the time. But after the smack, seeing her mortified reaction and her flushed face, he understood he might have crossed a line. The lingering sensation of the soft touch remained on his hand. He swallowed hard, momentarily lost for words, then finally said, "Why'd you disobey?" and gave her another smack.Wyneth was speechless. After a brief pause, she said with gritted teeth, "Watch out, Hayden! I'll get back at you for this!"Hayden laughed. "Alright, I'll be waiting." And before she knew it, he was carrying her toward his car.In the past, Hayden always pampered Wyneth, letting her have the last word. But now, he seemed upset and was far more assertive. No matter how m

Inside the elevator, Wyneth wore a blank expression. As she tried to make sense of the situation, Luke spoke up, hoping to explain. Meanwhile, he and Hayden exchanged intense glances. 'This is quite the situation,' Wyneth thought, sighing internally.Ding!The elevator halted, and a chatty group poured in. Noticing them, Luke instinctively lowered his baseball cap. 'So many people...' he thought. Only wearing a cap without sunglasses or a mask, he wondered if he would be recognized.Caught by surprise, Wyneth barely had time to react before Hayden shielded her, arms encircling her. To the crowd, they just looked like a couple, so no one gave them a second glance. Everyone was too engrossed in their animated conversations, clearly enjoying their vacation.Guarded by Hayden, Wyneth picked up bits of the group's chatter, learning they were heading to the rooftop for some event. A sudden bump from someone made Hayden visibly tense. His lips pressed together, and his expression turned m

Young Hayden could only sigh and touch her tiny head while denying it."No, it won't happen, so don't overthink it, okay?"Young Wyneth lifted her head."Really? Are you never going to have a girlfriend?"Young Hayden kept quiet."I knew you were lying to me!"Young Hayden quickly said after seeing that she was about to cry again, "I wasn't lying. I promise you that I won't have a girlfriend."He had no choice but to play along with Wyneth. However, he figured that it would not be a big matter because he was not planning to have a girlfriend anyway. He would be busy with work after graduating and would not have time to date.Young Wyneth was finally satisfied when she heard his promise.At that time, she genuinely believed that he would not leave her.However, just like her parents, he abandoned her as well.Wyneth was lost in her memories, thinking about the past. Suddenly, a loud shout snapped her back to reality."Luke Langdon!"A girl was taking a selfie in the elevato

Hayden adjusted his tie impatiently after seeing that everyone was still staring at him blankly. Then, he said in a flat tone, "Can you do it faster?"'What a hassle.'He would never bother getting involved with people like Luke if it were not for Wyneth. He felt like he was simply wasting his time by standing there.Luke seemed to have also understood what had happened. 'Wyneth probably wanted to help me, but Hayden disagreed, so that's why he's here.'Although they were love rivals, Hayden had no choice but to keep an eye on Luke despite hating him.Luke lifted the corner of his lips as he said to his fans as if he was in a very good mood, "Didn't you guys want autographs and photos?" It was not something that he would normally do.After that, everyone there got an autograph from Luke and took photos with him. However, he maintained his usual icy expression when taking the photos, looking very cool.Hayden watched everything while leaning against the wall and turned away impat

Yoyo felt like she was dead inside and desperately wanted to bury herself in a hole to hide herself from Luke.She could not afford to offend Hayden, but Luke was not someone she would want to cross either.'Luke overheard what I said and knew that I was on Hayden's side. Is he going to hold it against me in the future?'With these thoughts in her head, Yoyo turned around with a pitiful expression on her face and looked at Luke."Actually, Luke, you're...""Isn't she telling the truth?" Hayden's voice suddenly rang out too.He leaned on the other side of the doorway, directly across from where Luke was standing.'I just want to eat in peace,' Wyneth thought to herself.Wyneth was worried that they would start arguing again, so she took two plates and stuffed them into their hands nonchalantly, stopping them from speaking any further.The two grown men held their plates and utensils, looking somewhat at a loss."Wyn?""Wyneth?"Wyneth stared at them emotionlessly. "Take your
