After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

Xu Zhiyou held a pair of limited-edition black sunglasses in her hand.

The fingertips turned slightly white from the force applied.

She didn't make a big fuss.

There was no hysteria.

He just stood there quietly.

Those big eyes, which always sparkled with cunning and liveliness, quickly became misty.

His eyes reddened at a visible speed.

Large tears rolled down her face without warning, sliding down her fair and firm cheeks and dripping onto her off-white trench coat, silently spreading into a small, dark water stain.

She just stared at Jiang Yichen.

He did not utter a word.

This silent accusation is more heartbreaking than any heated argument.

Jiang Yichen looked at the tears on the girl's face, and his originally calm mindset instantly fell apart.

He has lived two lives and is fearless.

The only thing I can't bear to see is Xu Zhiyou shed tears.

He instinctively took a step forward and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face.

"Yuzu, let me explain."

Jiang Yichen's hand hung in mid-air, somewhat at a loss.

"Things aren't what you think."

Xu Zhiyou took half a step back.

She avoided his touch.

She sniffed and stubbornly bit her lower lip.

The tears flowed even more fiercely.

In the wardrobe.

Gu Ruanxing could see everything clearly through the crack in the door.

She hid behind several oversized coats, her heart burning with anxiety.

It’s over.

If he were to let her continue to misunderstand, Jiang Yichen would be unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Huangpu River.

I've reached the end of my friendship with her.

Gu Ruanxing gritted her teeth.

It's the same cut no matter which way you look at it.

Hiding inside like a coward will only make the situation more irreparable.

She suddenly pushed open the wardrobe door.

Accompanied by the creaking sound of the wooden door.

Gu Ruanxing stepped out of the wardrobe.

Xu Zhiyou turned her head when she heard the noise.

Gu Ruanxing saw Jiang Yichen walk out of his closet.

The air in the room froze instantly.

An awkward atmosphere spread among the three of them.

Gu Ruanxing straightened the slightly disheveled hem of her trench coat.

She took a deep breath and walked up to Xu Zhiyou in her high heels.

"Yuzu, don't cry."

Looking at Xu Zhiyou's red eyes, Gu Ruanxing felt a pang of guilt.

Don't blame him.

"This is my fault."

Gu Ruanxing turned her head and glared fiercely at Jiang Yichen.

He then looked at Xu Zhiyou again, his tone extremely serious.

"I'm here today to explain this to you clearly."

"That night in the capital, he and I did indeed spend the entire night in the same room."

"But he got completely drunk, fell asleep immediately, and nothing happened between us."

"I woke up early in the morning and deliberately said some ambiguous things to tease him, wanting to see him embarrass himself."

"Who knew that this clueless straight man would actually tell you all those things verbatim."

Gu Ruanxing paused.

He looked directly into Xu Zhiyou's eyes without flinching.

"When I thought about those strange things you said before, I knew you must have misunderstood."

"I was afraid you'd overthink it, so I came to him in the middle of the night to clarify things."

"Then you suddenly came knocking on the door."

"I was afraid that if you saw me here, the misunderstanding would deepen, so I impulsively crawled into the closet."

Gu Ruanxing gasped for breath and explained the whole story clearly.

She looked at Xu Zhiyou, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes.

But in the end, she spoke frankly about it.

"Yuzu, I'm not lying to you."

"I did have feelings for him."

Jiang Yichen stood to the side, raising an eyebrow slightly.

He didn't expect Gu Ruanxing to be so direct.

Such a frank confrontation can easily turn into a chaotic battle if not handled carefully.

Gu Ruanxing stepped forward and took Xu Zhiyou's hand.

"but."

"Being moved is one thing."

"You are my best friend."

"I, Gu Ruanxing, lack nothing in this life, and I would never steal my best friend's man."

"I assure you, there is no real relationship between him and me."

"after."

"Aside from necessary work-related contact, I will maintain absolute distance from him."

"I will absolutely not cause you any trouble."

Gu Ruanxing spoke with absolute certainty.

It exudes the decisiveness and ruthlessness unique to female CEOs.

Xu Zhiyou listened quietly to the end.

She looked at Gu Ruanxing's apologetic and sincere face.

She then turned to look at Jiang Yichen, who was standing beside her with a helpless expression.

Xu Zhiyou raised her hand and casually wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hand.

She sniffed.

My previously tense shoulders relaxed.

"I trust you."

Xu Zhiyou spoke.

His voice had a strong nasal tone.

Gu Ruanxing breathed a long sigh of relief.

The heart that had been in my throat finally settled back into my stomach.

"Just believe it."

"The way you looked just now almost scared me to death."

Xu Zhiyou took Gu Ruanxing's hand in return.

Her big eyes were still glistening with tears, but her gaze became extremely serious.

"Xingbao, you've misunderstood."

"I'm crying not because I feel like you and Jiang Yichen did something behind my back."

"I'm angry that you kept it from me."

Xu Zhiyou glanced at Jiang Yichen.

"When you encounter problems, your first thought isn't to be honest with me."

"Instead, they try to cover it up."

"This makes me feel like an outsider."

"That's what makes me feel the worst."

She suddenly stopped crying and started laughing.

A playful smile curved her lips.

"and."

"Xingbao, are you ignoring what I said?"

Gu Ruanxing was stunned.

"What did you say?"

Xu Zhiyou moved forward a little.

His gaze swept back and forth between Gu Ruanxing and Jiang Yichen.

"That's what I told you on the phone that day."

"It's fine for the three of us to live together."

"That's no joke."

"I'm serious."

This statement was made public.

A terrible silence fell over the room once again.

Gu Ruanxing's eyes widened.

His eyeballs almost popped out.

She looked at the smiling girl in front of her.

My head was buzzing.

"What...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Ruanxing's cheeks flushed bright red instantly.

The blush spread all the way to her ears and neck.

She is usually decisive and ruthless in the business world.

I've seen all sorts of storms and waves.

But faced with Xu Zhiyou's blunt and even shocking remarks.

This well-informed female CEO was completely defeated.

Jiang Yichen was also completely taken aback.

He reached up and rubbed his temples.

The thought process of this underworld heiress.

It's not something an average person can keep up with.

What kind of ideas did Xu Tianxiong instill in her from a young age?

"I'm not talking nonsense."

Xu Zhiyou puffed out her chest confidently.

"My dad had several concubines."

"Jiang Yichen is so outstanding, it's normal for several women to like him."

"If it were any other woman, I would definitely throw her into the Huangpu River to feed the fish."

"But if it's you, Xingbao."

"I can totally accept that."

"We've known each other since we were kids, we know each other inside and out, it'll be so lively living together from now on."

Xu Zhiyou became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.

They even started planning the blueprint.

"We'll buy a big villa then."

"You live on the second floor, left side, and I live on the second floor, right side."

Jiang Yichen sleeps in the living room on the first floor.

Jiang Yichen was speechless.

So, I'm just a doorman, huh?

Gu Ruanxing felt like she was suffocating.

She felt the air in the room become scorching hot.

My cheeks were burning.

She simply couldn't look directly into Xu Zhiyou's sincere, large eyes.

She dared not look at Jiang Yichen's expression.

"You...you're absolutely unreasonable!"

Gu Ruanxing stammered out a sentence.

She turned around abruptly.

He grabbed the designer handbag and the sunglasses that had caused the trouble from the sofa.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up..."

"Then...then I won't bother you any longer!"

"I have other things to do at work!"

"I'm leaving now!"
