Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside, and both of them held their breath in tension.

The air suddenly fell silent.

It was a long while before the person opened the door and left.

Greg let out a sigh of relief, about to tell her to leave, when Ryan suddenly spoke up in a soft voice, “Greg, that night was me… I’ve never done that before.”

“Huh?” Greg was dumbfounded.

He naturally understood what Ryan meant, but he found it somewhat hard to believe.

Mainly because he had also had quite a bit to drink that day, and he really couldn’t recall the specifics.

Ryan seemed to know he didn’t believe her and continued, “I don’t mean anything by it, just, don’t all men have that kind of hang-up? I was afraid you’d look down on me, so I wanted to tell you.

I broke up with my ex-boyfriend because I wouldn’t give in to him,” she said.

Greg was stunned, his voice full of shock, “Then why did you…?”

“Because you’re handsome, and your abs feel nice to touch.”

Ryan raised her little head, grinning, “Because I thought rather than giving in to the person who dumped me, I might as well give myself to the one I liked at first sight.”

“Eh.”

Greg responded blankly, his heart in turmoil. The scenes from that night flashed through his mind again, his breathing became somewhat hurried.

Feeling his change, Ryan’s face also reddened, and she whispered like a mosquito’s hum, “Let’s… let’s get out of here quickly, or we’ll be discovered.”

“Yeah, okay.”

The two of them walked out one after the other.

Greg was still somewhat dazed, his expression blank and a bit stiff.

Having spoken her mind, Ryan was in high spirits, her steps noticeably lighter.

“Where did you two go? Why did it take so long?” Vince Cooper asked, puzzled.

Greg replied with an awkward smile, “Didn’t we buy a piece of land today? I just took a call to discuss the details of handling the paperwork tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Vince nodded.

Angela Stuart looked at Ryan with a mischievous smile and asked, “What about you?”

“Me?”

Ryan’s face flashed with panic as she said, “I… my stomach felt a bit off.”

A concerned look crossed Angela’s face, “What’s wrong? Did you eat something bad?”

Vince joined in with concern, “Do you need to go to the hospital to get checked out?”

Ryan, warmed by her closest friends’ concern, quickly said, “It’s okay, it’s not really hurting anymore.”

Vince breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Oh, that’s good then.”

“You’re not on your period, are you?” Angela said with a smirk.

Ryan’s face flushed as she scolded, “Mr. Greg is still here, don’t talk nonsense!”

Angela raised an eyebrow, “What’s there to be afraid of? We’ve all been there.”

“Are you still talking!”

“Haha, okay, okay… I’ll stop.”

After dinner, Greg took the three women to see a movie.

They booked their tickets a bit late, so they only got a few seats in the corner.

Greg was originally seated next to the wall, but when he returned from the restroom, he found that Ryan had taken his seat, and Vince was sitting where Ryan had been.

As a result, Greg was now seated between Vince and Ryan.

Vince whispered, “This spot has a clear view, Ryan, so you sit here. Ryan is feeling unwell, let her rest against the wall for a bit.”

“Uh, okay then.”

“Ah, I almost forgot, Mr. Jensen, don’t you know medical skills? Why don’t you have a look at her?”

“Alright.”

Greg Jensen agreed and casually took Ryan Lampe’s pulse, which, naturally, indicated she was in good health.

He mused, “Hmm, there’s no major issue, just caught a bit of a cold. She’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”

“That’s a relief.”

Vince Cooper smiled, then turned back to continue watching the movie.

Angela Stuart sat on the very edge, also engrossed in the film.

Neither of them noticed a small hand reaching out in the darkness.

Greg Jensen’s body stiffened, and he took off his jacket, covering his legs with it, then took a deep breath.

After a while, Vince Cooper suddenly noticed Greg Jensen’s breathing had become somewhat rapid and asked in surprise, “Mr. Jensen, what’s the matter with you?”

Greg Jensen said with a forced laugh, “I’m feeling a bit hot.”

Vince Cooper thought he didn’t like the movie and said with a smile, “Why don’t you go out for some fresh air, then?”

“Hmm, I’ll go out for a smoke,” Greg Jensen said with a smile as he stood up.

That’s when Ryan Lampe also got up, looking a bit pale as she said, “I need to use the restroom, and I’ll borrow your man for a moment. I’m a bit scared to go alone.”

“Go ahead, just don’t lead him into the ladies’ room is all.”

“Get lost.”

Ryan Lampe glared at Vince Cooper and then walked out, boldly taking Greg Jensen’s arm.

Angela Stuart frowned slightly, puzzled. She was sure she hadn’t seen wrong that night, but if things were indeed as she suspected, shouldn’t Greg Jensen and Ryan Lampe be more discreet?

She also knew that Vince Cooper and Greg Jensen weren’t really girlfriend and boyfriend.

So, after thinking it over, she shook her head and decided to let them be.

Elsewhere, the two who had gone in embraced each other, and in the emptiness of the restroom, the sound of hurried breathing suddenly echoed.

Not until the movie was almost over did Greg Jensen and Ryan Lampe return.

Seeing the look of contentment on Ryan Lampe’s face, Angela Stuart turned her head away discretely. Since she had decided not to meddle anymore, she naturally didn’t want to keep paying attention.

However, seeing the two return together, a confusing flourish of jealousy welled up inside her.

She didn’t understand why, but something stirred within her.

After the movie, the four of them returned to Wanhe Home together.

After Vince Cooper showered, they began the daily couple’s routine only they shared, while Ryan Lampe and Angela Stuart lay in the second bedroom.

One was scrolling through her phone, occasionally letting out bell-like laughter.

The other also held her phone but looked expressionless, lost in thought.

The moon climbed over the willows, and both of their rooms went silent.

Ryan Lampe, as usual, quietly got up and went to the living room to eat her own night snack.

What she didn’t notice was that after she left, Angela Stuart also opened her eyes, got out of bed barefoot, and stood at the corner of the hallway, silently watching everything.

As dawn broke, Greg Jensen, whose True Qi had greatly increased again, was woken by Vince Cooper’s morning tea. After some simple exercises, he got up to wash and freshen up.

By the time they arrived at the dining room, Angela Stuart and Ryan Lampe had already prepared breakfast.

The atmosphere at the table was very harmonious, with Vince Cooper and Ryan Lampe chatting and laughing, while Angela Stuart was somewhat downcast.

Vince Cooper asked a few times, but Angela Stuart just brushed it off, saying she hadn’t slept well.

After breakfast, Greg Jensen, as usual, drove the three young ladies to school, then drove to the Wang family clubhouse, rousing several people still in the grip of sleep.

“Bro Jensen, why get up so early?”

“Get up and exercise!”
