C9 The Rumored Second Young Master Tan

Sheng Yan approached Zhuang Lan and softly said, "Did you see that? It was Faang Zheng'an who tricked me into going there. I've been back for so long, and no one ever told me that Twilight is a place girls shouldn't go."

Zhuang Lan, feeling guilty under Sheng Yan's intense gaze, shifted her eyes away from the screen. After all, Sheng Yan was her own daughter, and her obvious favoritism was indeed unfair.

Faang Zheng'an was nearly beside himself with anger, pointing at Sheng Yan furiously, "You little troublemaker, why are you doing this to me?"

Zhong Xiaoxiao chimed in with her own insults, "Come on, who in the whole city doesn't know what Twilight is? Even if Sheng Yan was clueless, she couldn't possibly be that naive. She's just pretending to be innocent!"

"She wanted to go there herself and now acts like she didn't know what kind of place it is. It's disgusting!"

Xiaoxiao's words seemed to have some effect. After all, Twilight was infamous in the city, and anyone in the social circle would know about it. Even if Sheng Yan was initially unaware, surely someone would have clued her in by now.

Zhuang Lan, no longer caring about who was right or wrong, was furious that the Sheng family was being embarrassed. She angrily grabbed Sheng Yan's hand and scolded, "Go to your room immediately!"

Sheng's father looked at Sheng Yan with some doubt but remained silent.

Suddenly, a deep and pleasant voice broke the tension. "I was the one who took Yan there."

As the crowd heard the commotion, they turned to see a tall, striking figure entering the room. Someone immediately recognized him as the rumored Second Young Master Tan.

Tan Ye was dressed in a tailored black suit, his features sharp and handsome, yet there was a hint of intensity in his eyes that made it hard for anyone to meet his gaze directly.

The guests widened their eyes in shock, nearly dropping their glasses, and some stammered in disbelief.

"Am I really seeing the legendary Second Young Master Tan?"

"How does Sheng Yan know Second Young Master Tan?"

"With her connection to him, she could probably walk into the Heaven Rank Pavilion without anyone daring to stop her. So what if she enters Twilight?"

The Heaven Rank Pavilion was the epitome of exclusivity and elegance in the city, the complete opposite of Twilight. To become a member, one needed more than just money; status was essential.

Sheng's father took a moment to react, then hurried over to Tan Ye, excitedly saying, "I didn't expect the honor of your visit, Second Young Master..."

Assistant Chen, standing beside Tan Ye, raised a hand to signal Sheng's father to be quiet.

"No need for formalities. Young Master Tan is here to see Miss Yan."

Zhuang Lan, overwhelmed by Tan Ye's presence, quickly released Sheng Yan's hand.

Sheng Yan was surprised that Tan Ye would personally come to find her.

Ignoring the stares from those around, Tan Ye walked up to Sheng Yan, looking down at her from his height.

Originally, he wanted to watch her take on the world, but after a while, he grew impatient. She was his woman; how could he let others bully her? So, before Sheng Yan could handle it herself, he stepped in to back her up. He waited for Sheng Yan to show him a grateful expression.

Sheng Yan glanced around at everyone's reactions, her thoughts drifting. When she went to get information from Young Master Zhou, people were already terrified just seeing Chen Qian. Perhaps she had only glimpsed a fraction of Tan Ye's influence. Tan Ye was undoubtedly more formidable than she had imagined. At least in this city, few dared to cross him lightly.

Seeing the sharp glint in her eyes, Tan Ye knew she was analyzing and calculating his identity again. He clicked his tongue. He had Assistant Chen hand over the prepared gift to Sheng Yan. "Yan Yan, happy birthday." Such simple words, yet he said them with the utmost tenderness.

Sheng Yan suddenly recalled the wild scene from the previous night, and her ears turned crimson. Despite living two lifetimes, she had never experienced anything like that. Coming back to life, she had given her first time to this man. She wondered what kind of fate this was.

Noticing Sheng Yan's reddened ears, Second Young Master Tan felt inexplicably pleased. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered, "So today is your birthday? I'm glad you spent your coming-of-age with me."

His voice was deep and magnetic, and being so close, Sheng Yan felt a shiver run through her, biting her lip in embarrassment and frustration. Seeing her upset, Tan Ye handed her the gift, stopped teasing her, and turned to leave.

Fang Zheng'an watched the scene with resentment, finally understanding how Sheng Yan managed to get that video. "Sheng Yan, you dared to embarrass me in front of Xiaoyun. I won't let you get away with this!"

As Tan Ye left the Sheng family home, he couldn't shake the image of Sheng Yan's captivating face. He turned to Chen Qian and said, "Give the Fang family a heads-up. They are not to bother Sheng Yan anymore."

Chen Qian was taken aback. Was Tan Ye serious this time? Wasn't it just supposed to be a collaboration with Miss Yan? But he didn't dare question the order and promptly responded, "Yes," before hurrying off to handle it.

The appearance of Second Young Master Tan cast an unusual atmosphere over the entire party. Initially, everyone was focused on flattering Sheng Xiaoyun. But now, every gaze seemed to drift towards Sheng Yan, intrigued by her presence.

This girl had captured everyone's attention the moment she appeared, and there was something undeniably intriguing about her. Most notably, Second Young Master Tan had personally delivered a birthday gift to her and acted so warmly.

In Sifang City, if you hadn't served tea to Second Young Master Tan, you couldn't claim to be part of high society. Sheng Yan was the first to receive a personal gift from him.

The Sheng family's two daughters might just be switching places.
