When Song Yue called me, I was snuggled in Lu Mingsheng's arms watching TV.

"Su Ling, you've grown up. Your husband actually stood up for you. Is your 'licking dog' persona finally over?"

I didn't pay attention to her use of the word "husband," my focus was solely on "stood up for."

Naturally, I also didn't notice the momentary distraction in Lu Mingsheng beside me when he heard me not correcting the terminology.

"He stood up for me? Stood up for what?"

I was genuinely puzzled. Song Yue immediately forwarded several videos for me to watch.

The last one was a live broadcast.

The first video showed Xu Qinqin kneeling in the rain, crying bitterly.

Shen Yan's car stopped halfway, kicked Xu Qinqin out, and she chased after the car for several steps without it showing any intention of stopping.

The barrage of comments read: [The third party's retribution.]

[Su, the queen, has a chance to rise again.]

[We're all so excited to see this news, wouldn't Su, the queen, be ecstatic?]

[Hot search alert: Shen CEO and Su, the queen, reconciling.]

As I watched, I remained calm, with no emotional fluctuations.

I had already let go of Shen Yan, so whether he treated Xu Qinqin well or not had nothing to do with me.

The second video showed Xu Qinqin calling out to me during a press conference, tears in her eyes, looking truly pitiful.

Unlike before, she wasn't disrespectful in her words. This time, Xu Qinqin sincerely apologized to me in front of the camera.

In the last video, a group of drunken people beat Xu Qinqin into the hospital, and the media camped outside the hospital for several days, but Shen Yan never showed up.

When I saw this, I finally had a reaction.

This scene was all too familiar—

It was my situation years ago.

An unbelievable thought rose from the depths of my heart...

But I quickly suppressed it.

I clicked on the last live broadcast.

It was the Shen Group's new product launch event.

As soon as I entered, someone whispered to Shen Yan.

It had been a long time, Shen Yan looked much more mature and stable. The spotlight shone on his face, making him the center of attention.

"Panacea, that's the name of this jewelry, symbolizing a miraculous cure.

"In life, with many regrets, may everyone who wears this necklace achieve what they desire."

Thunderous applause filled the room.

As I was about to exit, Shen Yan looked at the camera and locked eyes with me on the phone screen.

"So, Su Ling, can I use panacea to bring you back to my side?"

There was a moment of silence, followed by a commotion throughout the room.

The flashlights kept flickering, and at the same time, my phone started ringing incessantly.

Feeling overwhelmed, I turned off my phone.

When I turned back, Lu Mingsheng was smiling gently at me, his face somewhat pale.

"If one can mend their ways, give him a chance."

Although I was leaning against Lu Mingsheng, his warmth couldn't penetrate my body. At that moment, I felt ice-cold all over.

My lover was about to push me into another man's arms.

I struggled to speak, "Why... didn't we agree to stay together?"
