The reason they hesitated for a few more months before daring to implant the Love Worm in Lu Chen was precisely due to Lu Chen's sudden absence from the musical gatherings, which left Chen Wanrong uncertain whether Lu Chen had truly fallen in love with her or not.
If Lu Chen had really fallen for her, it wouldn't make sense for him to suddenly stop attending her music sessions for over two months.
Lin Wanyun frowned upon hearing Wang Qingci's voice primarily because she felt Wang Qingci had diverted Lu Chen's attention away from herself.
Lu Chen's original method of relaxation was listening to Chen Wanrong play the qin, but lately, his way of unwinding had turned to doing that sort of thing with a woman in the bedroom. Lin Wanyun had heard sounds coming from Wang Qingci's room several times.
