Chapter 455: Finding a Reason for Oneself

~7 min read 1,393 words

The night was like water, the cool breeze pleasant.

On the spacious villa balcony, two graceful figures leaned side-by-side against the railing, one tall and one short, an extremely eerie atmosphere enveloping them.

Facing Luo Qiqi's candor, Wu Yueer complained bitterly in her heart; how could this girl be so sharp, managing to deduce such an unbelievable truth?

It was all that bad egg's fault for not knowing how to close the door when doing bad things.

Now look, caught red-handed on the spot.

Of course, no matter what, Wu Yueer could not possibly admit it. She let out a sudden, light laugh: "I don't even know what to say. Your imagination is rich enough to compile such an outrageous story. Since Shen Yan has some connections in the entertainment industry, you might as well ask him for help; perhaps you could turn the story into a TV series."

Luo Qiqi sighed: "I really have no ill intentions. Why can't you be more honest?"

"Think what you want, I'm going back to sleep."

As the words fell, Wu Yueer turned and prepared to leave.

Without substantive evidence, as long as she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, no matter how the winds blew from all directions, she would remain unmoved.

Luo Qiqi knew this clearly; if the other party insisted there was no such thing, one couldn't just shamelessly force them to admit it, but she was unwilling to just let the other party leave.

She didn't know why she was unwilling; she just felt a tightness in her chest, and felt uncomfortable all over.

The law didn't explicitly forbid a man from dating multiple women at the same time.

People could do as they pleased, and it didn't affect anyone else.

But... Shen Yan was the person she liked, and Luo Qiqi didn't want the budding romance that hadn't even begun to be cut off so unclearly.

Even though she was very certain of her guess, she still wanted to hear Wu Yueer admit it with her own ears.

"Are you worried that I will join in and threaten your position, which is why you don't dare to admit it?" In her desperation, Luo Qiqi used a goading tactic.

Wu Yueer's footsteps paused, and she turned her head to say nonchalantly: "You really are overthinking it, and Shen Yan couldn't possibly like you."

So infuriating!

Watching the figure disappear gracefully from the balcony, Luo Qiqi only felt a surge of anger blocked in her chest, and it burned brighter and brighter, like a volcano about to erupt, with a trend of becoming uncontrollable.

What did Huniu mean?

What did she mean by Shen Yan couldn't possibly like her? Was she that bad?

Originally, Luo Qiqi was still hesitating whether to give up; fighting three people at once, and with opponents who were stronger than the last, a head-on collision would only end in failure.

But Wu Yueer's words completely stirred up Luo Qiqi's competitive spirit.

She might not be able to compare to her in appearance, but she was at least top-tier, and she had no shortage of suitors, so why couldn't Shen Yan fancy her?

She knew that last time in the car, Shen Yan had held her neck and kissed her passionately, his scorching breath seemingly capable of melting a person away.

Not to mention whether sparks of love could fly between them.

What Luo Qiqi could be certain of was that she had a strong attraction for Shen Yan.

In the end, Wu Yueer was just being stubborn, worried in her heart that another woman would jump out to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

The reason she said that was only to strike at her confidence and make her retreat in the face of difficulty.

Luo Qiqi refused to fall for this trick.

The more you don't want me to get involved, the more interested I become.

These good friends were rotten to the core, acting like drama queens all day long and playing her for a fool; it was time to take "revenge."

At first, Luo Qiqi didn't have such strong feelings for Shen Yan; if she had known the water was so deep, she wouldn't have gotten involved for anything.

But unfortunately, now...

Anyway, there were no men around who caught her eye; since she couldn't beat them, she might as well join them.

Yeah! That's it!

After finding a sufficiently adequate reason that allowed her to feel at ease, Luo Qiqi's originally chaotic thoughts seemed to be blown away by a breeze, gradually calming down.

Her whole person felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted, feeling extremely relaxed.

Returning to the room, Wu Yueer saw her calm and composed appearance and was a bit confused, feeling that this girl was strange.

Based on her understanding of Luo Qiqi, she shouldn't have given up so easily.

Unable to figure it out, she decided not to think about it and first check in with the sisters.

"Loving Family" group chat.

Wu Yueer: "Bad news, everyone. Luo Qiqi guessed the relationship between the four of us. She just confronted me and insisted that we were colluding to act and deceive everyone."

Chen Shanni: "Because Shen Yan and An Qi were hugging? (Question mark)"

Hao Anqi: "That shouldn't be it. At most, that would lead her to guess that there's something going on between me and Shen Yan; how would it involve you guys?"

Shen Yan couldn't help but get nervous and hurriedly asked: "What else did she say?"

Wu Yueer briefly recounted the conversation, and the four were silent.

They felt this girl was possessed by Sherlock Holmes, daring to assert such an unbelievable truth based on just a few clues; could she be any more outrageous?

Hao Anqi: "It's all Shen Yan's fault. Why hug when you didn't even close the door?"

Shen Yan: "Ahem! How was I supposed to know she would suddenly run to the third floor."

"It's not a big problem. Luo Qiqi isn't the type to blab, and as long as we refuse to admit it, what can anyone else do?"

Wu Yueer: "Right, right, firmly refuse to admit it!"

Chen Shanni: "Understood (smiley face)"

On this side, Shen Yan had just exited the group chat when he received a message from Luo Qiqi.

"Are you free now? I have some things I want to talk to you about."

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Yan typed a reply: "Come on up!"

Subsequently, under Wu Yueer's suspicious gaze, Luo Qiqi walked out swaggeringly. Wu Yueer guessed she was going to find Shen Yan to get to the bottom of the truth.

She hurriedly sent a warning in advance.

"Qiqi just walked out of the room, she's probably looking for you."

Shen Yan: "OK! I'll handle it."

Wu Yueer: "You are not allowed to handle it in bed; there are already enough sisters."

Shen Yan: "... Am I that kind of person? Seriously!"

"What if she throws herself at you? Can you keep your composure?"

"You really take me for Tang Seng meat... It's just you three silly girls; if it really comes to that, I'll call you up to tear her apart."

Wu Yueer perked up and typed happily: "With our powers combined, I guarantee she won't be able to leave (smiley face) (smug)."

"(Spitting blood) (Wiping sweat)"

Before long, Luo Qiqi, dressed in a champagne-colored spaghetti-strap nightgown, entered the third-floor master bedroom.

A curved sofa was placed in the corner by the balcony.

The two sat next to each other on the sofa.

Before his eyes were slender, beautiful legs, delicate collarbones, smooth and fragrant shoulders... The only flaw was that she was a bit too thin, the kind where you could keep fish in her collarbones.

How did Shen Yan get the feeling that this girl wasn't here to discuss business, but to seduce him?

He feasted his eyes for a moment, then immediately got to the point: "Speak, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Luo Qiqi crossed her legs, rested her right hand on the top of the backrest, propped her chin in her hand, and looked at Shen Yan quietly with her almond-shaped eyes shimmering with a complex expression: "You don't need to play dumb; I don't believe Yue'er didn't tell you anything."
