“Oh, look at that, you’ve called for a sidekick!” The woman mocked Qin Lianyi when she saw Ling Yiran.Ling Yiran frowned and looked at her friend. “Lianyi, what happened?”“You don’t need to be bothered about her,” Qin Lianyi said.The young woman burst out like a barrel of petroleum that caught on fire as she yelled, “Why? Are you ashamed to admit that you shamelessly seduced my boyfriend? If I hadn’t caught you in the act, were you going to strip naked and get into my boyfriend’s bed!”Qin Lianyi glared at the woman. “Seduce? Do you think I’m interested in this kind of man? What exactly is going through your brains? You only think that the problem lies with other people but have you ever considered that it’s your boyfriend that’s the problem!”“I saw you with my own eyes yet you’re still arguing with me about it!” the woman yelled.“Bullshit! What did you see with your own eyes?!” Qin Lianyi argued back. She pointed at the man who was curled in a corner. “Let me be frank. With
While Ling Yiran was going through the procedures to bail Qin Lianyi out, Yi Jinli called her. “Are you at the police station?”“Huh?” Ling Yiran was stunned for a moment and quickly recovered. It must have been the driver who informed him.“Yes, I’m at the police station. Something happened to Lianyi, so I’m here to bail her out.”Yi Jinli found it quite amusing. ”She needs you to help bail her out? Why didn’t she look for Bai Tingxin? Isn’t he her boyfriend?”“...” It was a rather complicated situation, and it was Lianyi’s private matters. “I guess she has her own way of thinking. Anyway, I’m in the middle of going through the paperwork. I’ll talk to you later!”Ling Yiran ended the call and continued with the process.Zhou Jiewen was still cursing at Qin Lianyi as she was adamant that Qin Lianyi was interested in her boyfriend.Qin Lianyi was so angry that she scolded Zhou Jiewen as a pig! She had Bai Tingxin as her boyfriend now. Although he was just a temporary boyfriend, h
Shen Ziyu nodded cowardly. “Y-ye-yes... Qin Lianyi seduced me!”Qin Lianyi wanted to give a slap to that man!Ling Yiran was worried that her friend’s rash behavior would land her in hot soup, thus she pulled her friend back and said to the couple, “You’ll need to be legally responsible for whatever you’ve said just now. Otherwise, that’s considered as defaming a person’s reputation. Why don’t we go back into the station to see if we need to open up a case.”Shen Ziyu shuddered and shut his mouth.Zhou Jiewen was still hurling verbal abuse when Yi Jinli lazily looked at her. “What a pompous woman. Are you fit to point out what kind of person my girlfriend is? Who do you think you are?”Zhou Jiewen looked horrified. Yi Jinli’s words were like a slap to her face.“I... I’m just giving a kind reminder. I’m worried that you’ll be cheated on.” Zhou Jiewen tried to argue.However, Yi Jinli was not interested to listen to what she had to say. He turned to Qin Lianyi and said, “You were
Qin Lianyi looked like she had difficulty explaining it to Yi Jinli. She wished that she could hide the fact that she was a couple with Bai Tingxin.She did not want to have many changes to her life after they broke up.If it were not because her parents had accidentally found out about him, she would not have even told them!“I... Hehe... I was worried I’d disturb him at work.” Qin Lianyi gave a random excuse.“Then you’re not afraid of disturbing Yiran?” Yi Jinli shot back.Qin Lianyi held her breath. Ling Yiran quickly replied, “I’m not afraid of being disturbed by Lianyi.” Then, she turned to Qin Lianyi and said, “If there is any issue in the future, you must disturb me. You are the most important friend I have.”Qin Lianyi felt warmth in her heart. She replied and looked through the rearview mirror to see Yi Jinli who was next to Ling Yiran. ‘His tone earlier... Um, he sounded like he was jealous? It made me feel like I’m being envied.‘But the question is... Why is Yi Jinl
She was dumbfounded for a moment before responding. “You can’t compare it like that.”One was the love of her life and the other was her best friend. These were two completely different kinds of relationships!On further thought, she said, “Both of you are people I can sacrifice my life for! So both of you are equally important to me.”His gaze shifted. He should feel satisfied that she was willing to use her life to protect him!‘But why can’t it be me only?!’The bottom line was, he was being too greedy. He was so greedy that he wanted to be the one and only person in the center of her heart. He was so greedy that he did not want anyone else to occupy an important role to her. “Because she helped you back then?”“I guess so. In the beginning, I didn’t know that she would do so much for me even though we’re friends.” Ling Yiran sighed. Back then, her friendship with Lianyi was quite good, but sometimes you need to weather through a storm together before you could find the gem
She told him everything—from how she was harassed by her male colleague and got misunderstood, to how she got into a fight and went to the police station, and finally, how she needed to be bailed out. She said everything in one go, so her throat was parched by the time she was finished. Bai Tingxin listened with his brows furrowed. His handsome face was frosted with a layer of ice. Nobody could guess what was going through his mind right now.After Qin Lianyi finished, he said, “Why didn’t you call me when something happened to you?”“I... I was afraid that I’d disturb you. You’re busy with work. I was only caught up with a small matter.” Qin Lianyi coaxed.Bai Tingxin stared at Qin Lianyi until she felt guilty inside.After some time, he said, “Only because you’re afraid of disturbing me?”“Of course,” she said with a guilty conscience.He pursed his lips and said nothing. Both of them stood there and stared at each other without saying a word. Qin Lianyi complained inwardly,
As for her, she had no way of refuting it....Finally, Qin Lianyi brought Bai Tingxin to her house.At the Qin household, Mr. and Mrs. Qin welcomed Bai Tingxin warmly and asked him to join them for dinner.Bai Tingxin agreed readily. Qin Lianyi, on the other hand, was secretly fearful upon hearing that. She worried that the longer Bai Tingxin stayed, the higher the chance for him to have a slip of the tongue when he chatted with her parents.After dinner, Qin Lianyi quickly pulled Bai Tingxin into her room and asked, “When are you going back?”“You’re hoping that I leave as soon as possible?” he asked with his brows raised.She laughed dryly. “I’m afraid that my parents’ overzealous enthusiasm will irk you. They think you’re my real boyfriend, so they’ll catch all opportunities to dig more information about you.”“It’s not annoying at all. Sometimes, I find it interesting to have a chat with them,” Bai Tingxin said. When he conversed with her parents, he could find out many th
“About that... I can’t be going around announcing that I have a boyfriend.” If she did that, her colleagues would think that she was a lunatic.“Is that so? Okay, I understand,” he said.She blinked her eyes. ‘What does he understand? Why do I have a feeling that we’re not on the same page?’...The next day at the company Qin Lianyi worked in, rumors about yesterday’s incident were spreading like wildfire. The kind of gazes that her colleagues gave her was different than the usual.Some of them even mocked Qin Lianyi right in her face. “How shameless of you! Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu are a couple yet you still want to put your foot in!”“That’s right. Even if you want to be a third party, don’t do it within the company!”Qin Lianyi scoffed and fought back. “What third party? If you all don’t know the whole truth, then check the facts first. If I would have eyes for Shen Ziyu, I’d dig out my eyes!”“You’re just being boastful now. What’s wrong with Shen Ziyu? He’s a graduate fr
