Chapter 268: Relationship Drops to Freezing Point

Upon hearing this, Yu Youwei was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; her fur stood on end instantly, and her pretty face turned as red as an Apple. She pointed a trembling finger at Wu Yueer, her mouth opening and closing, but she simply didn't know how to retort.

Nor did she know how to curse at anyone.

She could only keep accusing Wu Yueer of talking nonsense, insisting that she didn't think that way at all.

As for the truth of her words, only she herself knew in her heart.

Wu Yueer did not care much about this; now that things had come to this, since Yu Youwei wanted to tear off the mask of civility, she had nothing left to say either.

Let it be whatever it will be!

This nonchalant demeanor immediately infuriated Yu Youwei, who clamored, "I'm going to tell Shen Yan about this and make him never pay attention to a big liar like you again."

According to Yu Youwei's imagination, upon hearing this, Wu Yueer would surely panic and beg for forgiveness: "Youwei, please don't do that, I beg you, I know I was wrong, I'll apologize to you, okay?"

However, imagination and reality are always worlds apart.

Wu Yueer simply looked unfazed: "Go ahead and tell him, that way Shen Yan and I can be together without any reservations."

"What do you mean?" Yu Youwei was stunned.

To prevent Yu Youwei from hurting her again, Wu Yueer took two steps back, crossed her arms over her chest, and held her magnificent pair high.

"Have you never wondered why, given Shen Yan's personality, he would be so close to a girl?" Wu Yueer's voice was crisp and steady, as if it could pierce through one's soul.

Yu Youwei's heart tightened abruptly; she seemed to have caught some key information, but this information was as blurry as smoke, making it impossible to grasp accurately.

"And this girl is neither Shanni, nor Qiqi, nor anyone else, but it just happens to be me..."

These words echoed in Yu Youwei's ears; the sentence was like a sharp sword, deeply stinging her nerves.

That's right!

Why did it have to be Wu Yueer, and why were the two of them so close?

Yu Youwei had asked herself this question more than once, but she could never figure it out.

She asked with some unease: "What exactly do you mean? Say what you have to say."

Wu Yueer plucked a lock of hair from her chest, flicked it lightly, and told the truth about the situation at the time: "That's because... Shen Yan didn't even realize it himself, but my shadow had quietly entered his heart. From the bottom of his heart, he was willing to be close to me, the reason why..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Yu Youwei's roar.

"Impossible, Shen Yan couldn't possibly like you." Yu Youwei staggered back two steps, shaking her head like a rattle-drum.

Her voice trembled, and her face was filled with disbelief.

Although she said that, deep down, a voice was telling Yu Youwei that this was the truth.

Besides this, Yu Youwei could think of no other reason to explain Shen Yan's abnormal behavior, even though she had reminded him several times that men and women should keep their distance and that he should be careful to keep his distance from Wu Yueer.

But Shen Yan didn't listen at all.

He continued to go his own way.

Can a man really like two girls at the same time?

Seeing Yu Youwei in such a dazed and distracted state, Wu Yueer felt a bit of pity; she didn't want to hurt this good friend, but for the sake of Shen Yan, and even more for herself, she had gone all out.

After taking a deep breath, Wu Yueer continued: "Of course, this is just my guess. As for the specific reason, I believe you already have the answer in your heart. I suggest you keep this matter buried in your stomach and not tell anyone; that won't do you any good. Before Shen Yan breaks up, I will only quietly wait by his side."

"Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what are you going to do?" Yu Youwei looked nervous, her eyes fixed on the other girl.

Wu Yueer put on an expression of being ready to face death, and said something shocking: "Otherwise, I will disregard everything and confess to Shen Yan. The result will either be him breaking up with Hao Anqi and being with me, or... I will go completely crazy and just pounce on Shen Yan to make it a done deal."

Once these words were out, Yu Youwei felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Her eyes widened even larger than copper bells.

"You, you, you... you... you are shameless." She pointed a trembling finger at Wu Yueer, and it took a great effort for her to squeeze this sentence out through her teeth.

At this very moment, countless waves surged in Yu Youwei's heart; she simply couldn't believe her ears.

However, knowing Wu Yueer's personality, she believed that the other girl was absolutely capable of such a shocking act.

"In order to be with Shen Yan, I don't care about anything, so you had better not force me." Wu Yueer's gaze was exceptionally firm.

Looking at the determined expression on that pretty face, Yu Youwei once again intuitively realized the depth of Wu Yueer's feelings.

Since the hard approach wouldn't work, she had to try the soft one.

She softened her tone and said: "Yue'er, with your conditions, what kind of man can't you find? There's no need to hang yourself from one tree, and even less need to be so extreme. Once some things happen, there is no turning back."

*Heh, still easily manipulated by me. *

Due to the large height difference, Wu Yueer stepped forward, bowed slightly to hug her, and said softly: "How could I not know that? But I really like him so much. Youwei, please keep this secret for me, okay? If one day in the future Shen Yan breaks up with Hao Anqi, then we can compete fairly."

"Perhaps by that time, I will have already fallen for someone else, and then no one will be fighting you for Shen Yan."

Yu Youwei knew that the probability of persuading Wu Yueer was slim to none, and since she couldn't think of a countermeasure for the time being, she had to reluctantly agree. She comforted herself internally that perhaps over time, this relationship would slowly fade, or perhaps Wu Yueer would meet her true Prince Charming one day.

In any case, let it be for now.

She repeatedly emphasized that if she wanted her not to tell anyone, Wu Yueer could only maintain a friendship with Shen Yan and was not allowed to cross the line by even half a step; Wu Yueer naturally agreed to everything.

She thought to herself that she and Shen Yan had already gone "all the way to the stomach" long ago, so what line was there left to cross.

Afterward, the two returned to the Danqingyuan Residential Complex one after the other.

There was not a single word of conversation on the way.

After this incident, the relationship between the two dropped directly to the freezing point.

Yu Youwei packed her suitcase and, before leaving, said goodbye to Chen Shanni: "Shanni, I'm sorry, my mom just called and said something came up that requires me to go back tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to hang out with you."

Chen Shanni waved her hand with a smile, indicating it didn't matter.

After she left, Chen Shanni walked into the guest bedroom and cast her gaze toward Wu Yueer, who was sitting in front of the computer chair eating an Apple, her eyes filled with a trace of suspicion.

"Yue'er, did you and Youwei have a fight? Her eyes are all red; it's obvious she just cried."

As soon as she entered the room, Chen Shanni sensed that the state of the two was not quite right.

Wu Yueer muttered: "Just a small conflict, it will be fine in a few days."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Chen Shanni shook her head helplessly; this wasn't the first time the two had had a conflict, and without a doubt, the root of the problem lay with Shen Yan.

It is often said that since ancient times, beautiful women have been sources of disaster, but this saying is just as fitting when applied to men.

Chen Shanni asked again, "Since Youwei isn't here, shall we still go out to have fun?"

Wu Yueer indicated that either way was fine with her, saying that if she wanted to go, she would accompany her; Chen Shanni was naturally overjoyed, hugging Wu Yueer and saying, "Yue'er, you are so kind."
