Seeing Shuyan greet him so easily, Jing Hengran's eyes were very complicated. He could tell that she didn't have any feelings for him at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm now after not seeing him for a long time. She had put on some weight after they hadn't seen each other for a while; it was clear that she had been doing very well recently – she had probably gotten back together with that Qi person.
The more he discerned the truth, the worse Jing Hengran's mood became. This was the first time he was interested in a girl, even dropping hints a few times, but she didn't like him at all, and chose another man. Given his ego and identity, Jing Hengran naturally couldn't stand it, so no matter how anxious he was about the spirit tea, he hadn't contacted her again. Fortunately, Shuyan's cooperation with the Fan family hadn't progressed, so Jing Hengran was able to regain his footing.
