Chapter 405: Where Did My Clothes Go?

Under the dim yellow streetlights, the artificial lake was illuminated until it was crystal clear, and shadows of people flickered in the bushes, occasionally emitting sounds that set one's imagination running wild.

Like sobbing and pleading!

Since Hao Anqi wanted to know, and aside from Chen Shanni and Wu Yue'er, Shen Yan had nothing to hide, so he briefly recounted the things that had happened recently.

Including buying a villa in Shanghai, the demolition of his storefronts, and his plan to stay in Shanghai to develop his future.

Hearing this, Hao Anqi didn't have much of a reaction; she saw things very clearly now, as Shen Yan's ability was beyond doubt, and making money was as simple as drinking water to him.

In the future, this kind of thing would definitely not be rare.

Since she had decided to follow this man, she had to learn to get used to it.

During the time they were broken up, Hao Anqi had thought a lot; not having to worry about money and having no pressure was the life many people dreamed of.

She truly felt that her former self had been so foolish; Shen Yan had never once looked down on her for her ordinary background, yet she had been the one to be pretentious and get stuck in a dead end, causing others to take advantage of the situation.

Now she had no choice but to share a husband with others.

If only she had known then what she knew now!

"If you're staying in Shanghai to develop, then what about your grandma?" Hao Anqi was more concerned about this point.

Shen Yan stroked her little head and explained, "My eldest uncle has also moved to Shanghai; after the Qingming Festival, Grandma will go over to live with him."

Hao Anqi nodded in realization.

This couldn't be better; compared to that small county of Cangnan, she naturally preferred to stay in a big city to develop.

Furthermore, the big villa Shen Yan described made Hao Anqi yearn for it.

What would a luxury mansion worth nearly seventy million look like?

Shen Yan's eyes and brows held a smile: "I'll be running back and forth often in the future, and when I have time, I'll take you to stay for a few days."

"Mm-hmm!"

Amidst the idle chatter, time unknowingly reached ten-thirty; Shen Yan stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and asked, "Are you going back to the dormitory tonight, or are you coming to my place?"

Even as lively and cheerful as Hao Anqi was, she couldn't quite handle this question, and two charming blushes appeared on her face.

How could he ask a girl this question? Whatever happened was for the boy to decide.

She felt that Shen Yan was doing this on purpose just to see her make a fool of herself.

She absolutely could not let him succeed!

"I'm going back to the dorm to sleep; you should go back and rest early," Hao Anqi said, appearing very calm.

Shen Yan nodded, and just like that, the two walked side by side slowly toward the dormitory building.

Passing pedestrians frequently cast curious glances.

During the first half of the semester, due to the videos of him stir-frying rice noodles and performing the Moonwalk, Shen Yan had gained very broad fame at the Communication University of China, and the number of people who knew him was as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

Yet now, no one paid him any mind.

And Hao Anqi's beauty was beyond doubt; she was renowned among the male student body.

Everyone was wondering, didn't the goddess break up with him? Then who is this guy?

Hao Anqi completely ignored the surrounding gazes; several times she wanted to say something, but she held it back.

Her heart was screaming wildly.

Why can't this dog of a man be more assertive? If you just said one word, wouldn't I have obediently gone back with you?

It's infuriating!

In fact, Shen Yan hadn't thought that much at all; it didn't matter if Hao Anqi came or not, at worst he would go back to find Wu Yue'er and Chen Shanni, both of whom were warm and soft.

Holding them was extremely comfortable.

"An Qi!"

Approaching the dormitory building, suddenly, a familiar voice rang out behind Shen Yan.

He turned his head.

It was indeed Wen Xiaoyan, and the tall, imposing boy next to her was her boyfriend.

Wen Xiaoyan scanned the two of them back and forth, then her expression became very suggestive: "Don't tell me you two are still hung up on the past and have hooked up again?"

Shen Yan gave a faint smile and didn't respond, while Hao Anqi remembered Shen Yan's previous warning that the four of them being together would definitely invite all sorts of gossip.

So the story for the outside world could only be—good friends.

Nominally, Shen Yan had always been in a single state.

Although it was a bit regrettable that they couldn't make it public, Hao Anqi knew this was the best way for now.

She flatly denied it: "No way, we are just good friends now."

Wen Xiaoyan didn't care, just assuming the two were still frantically testing the waters on the edge of getting back together, and it was only a matter of time.

How could one be friends after failing to be lovers?

Can you endure him kissing and hugging and showing off his affection in front of you?

Can you endure being jealous every single moment?

Can you endure the fact that he often ignores you?

As long as you still like him, it is impossible to endure this layer of friendship.

After sending Hao Anqi to the dormitory entrance, Shen Yan waved his hand, watched her disappear around the corner while looking back every few steps, and turned to leave.

However, Shen Yan had only walked a few steps when his hand was pulled from behind.

Immediately after, Hao Anqi appeared before him, lowered her voice, and said, "I'm going back with you."

When she said this, she kept her head lowered, trying hard to look at her toes.

Unfortunately, she gained nothing.

Shen Yan found it quite amusing; saying nothing, he pulled her along as they walked outside, and Hao Anqi let him hold her hand with graceful ease, her pretty face both shy and happy.

She used her other hand to send a message to Wen Xiaoyan: "I'm staying out tonight, don't worry."

Wen Xiaoyan: "Oh my god! As expected of An Qi (thumbs up) (thumbs up), they say a good horse doesn't eat grass behind it, yet you took down the heartthrob so easily."

Hao Anqi: "Don't overthink it, we are just good friends."

Wen Xiaoyan: "I get it! I get it! (smirk)"

Seeing this, Hao Anqi simply couldn't be bothered to explain, her eyes gazing at the man beside her with tenderness like water.

Returning to Danqingyuan Residential Complex.

Looking at the interior layout, which was the same as always, Hao Anqi felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Everything seemed unchanged, yet it also seemed to have changed.

But when Hao Anqi entered the master bedroom, she truly felt the changes within.

First, there was an extra lavender potted plant on the computer desk, its leaves slender and dark green, emitting a delicate fragrance into the air.

In front of the potted plant were three pottery cups; their appearance... could be considered unique.

Calling them ugly would be a bit unrefined.

What Hao Anqi cared about was that each cup had an inscription: Shen Yan, Chen Shanni, Wu Yue'er.

This made Hao Anqi feel incredibly jealous; over the past month, Shen Yan must have spent many happy times with the two women.

No way!

She would have to go get a pottery cup to put here later; she would rather suffer from inequality than from scarcity.

Opening the wardrobe, Hao Anqi was instantly stunned on the spot, seeing all sorts of exquisite clothes placed inside.

Yet not a single one belonged to her.

This jerk, how long has it been since they broke up, and he actually cleared out all her clothes.

No! It must be the handiwork of Wu Yue'er and Chen Shanni; Shen Yan shouldn't have gone that far.

But he definitely must have given his consent.

Sigh! She only had herself to blame for insisting on acting out like that; since they had already broken up, was she supposed to just stare at the clothes?

"Shuai Yan, where did you put those clothes of mine?" Hao Anqi asked toward the bathroom, her little milky voice as calm as water.
