At this moment, large, crystal-clear tears, like pearls from a broken string, rolled down Shen Zhiyi's beautiful yet sorrowful eyes. Soon, her clothes were soaked with tears, a sight that would make anyone who saw her feel pity.
"You don't need to explain to me, there's nothing between us!"
Hearing Shen Zhiyi's cold and indifferent tone, Ye Tingru panicked for a moment. Although it was for Wu Zai's sake, and Ye Tingru did get to know Su Che first, she had indeed betrayed her best friend.
Ye Tingru was speechless and didn't know where to begin to explain. She originally wanted to tell the whole story, but the words just wouldn't come out.
Then she looked away and stammered, and the whole living room fell silent.
The two women locked eyes. Shen Zhiyi's gaze was cold, while Ye Tingru's eyes darted around uncertainly. Shen Zhiyi was indeed waiting for her explanation, wanting to know why her best friend had stolen her man.
After two and a half minutes of silence.
With her mind in turmoil, Ye Tingru said sullenly, "Su Che and I are not what you think."
"It's not like that? It's the middle of the night, and you're a lone man and woman. You've dressed up like this and traveled all this way to get here. You're telling me it's not like that?"
"No, no, Su Che and I did not have any... relationship."
"Heh... If nothing happened, then tell me, what's your purpose in coming here? Shouldn't you be sleeping at home? Why would I see you in the closet?"
"Why did you dress up like this and come to a single man's house in the middle of the night? And why did that person have to be Su Che?"
Shen Zhiyi's merciless combo struck Ye Tingru's soul directly. She froze for two and a half seconds, hesitating whether to confess that Su Che was Wu Zai.
Now that this has already happened, if we don't clarify things, the two of us will become enemies in the future. Shen Zhiyi isn't the kind of person who isn't quick-witted.
Ye Tingru originally planned to win over Su Che and then work with him to gradually persuade Shen Zhiyi, but things didn't go as planned.
"I only went into the closet because I was afraid you would find out..."
Shen Zhiyi didn't know why Ye Tingru could say that without blushing or skipping a beat. Who wouldn't be afraid if they were caught cheating?
"Afraid I'll find out? If you had nothing to hide, would you be afraid I'd find out?"
"Tell me why you came here! Tell me!"
"I......"
"Actually, Su Che is..."
"Oh dear, Zhiyi, you've really misunderstood President Ye. She's just here to talk to me about work."
Just as Ye Tingru was about to confess, a sexy, feminine voice came from the bedroom behind her.
? ? ?
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi was inevitably surprised and puzzled. She didn't know how to explain to Su Che that Su Che might not know her best friend's little thoughts, but how could she not know them?
The two have been best friends for many years, and she knows their lifestyle habits very well.
If it were really about work, she wouldn't dress like that, nor would she come to a subordinate's house in the middle of the night, especially a male subordinate.
“Brother Su, you don’t understand, you don’t understand…” Shen Zhiyi murmured to herself, her lips trembling.
Su Che was completely bewildered. He didn't understand anything. She really did come to discuss work, and why was she crying louder and louder?
At this moment, Ye Tingru panicked even more. She did not expect that Shen Zhiyi would break down and cry in front of the two of them. With each cry, her heart trembled, and for a moment she even thought about giving up on Su Che.
But after having that thought, she also wanted to cry. Since her best friend had already cried, she decided not to cry for the time being.
"Oh my goodness~"
A bewildered Su Che hurriedly stepped forward, frantically wiping away the tears streaming down Shen Zhiyi's face, repeatedly comforting her, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, don't cry, don't cry..."
Su Che's tone was affectionate, like warm fatherly love, trying to soothe the pain in Chen Zhiyi's heart.
As Su Che made his move and spoke words full of self-reproach, Shen Zhiyi could no longer hold back and threw herself into Su Che's arms. Her crying was like a seal being broken, and the motion-sensor lights in the corridor turned on.
"Brother Su, do you know how much I like you?"
"I spent a long time preparing tonight before deciding..."
Why did you reject me?!
“I…I didn’t reject you…” Su Che kept patting Shen Zhiyi’s back, and occasionally reached out to help her wipe away her tears.
"You...you didn't refuse?"
"Waaah..."
"So, Brother Su, you do have feelings for me, right?" Shen Zhiyi looked up at him with her big, pitiful eyes.
"Ah... um."
"If there are no outsiders here today, you won't refuse me, right?"
"Um."
"So you like me more than you like Ye Zi, right?"
"Um... no, that's not right!" Su Che quickly denied it, then hurriedly explained, "Don't talk nonsense. I have no relationship with President Ye. We are just superiors and subordinates. How could I like President Ye?"
"We wouldn't dare to talk nonsense!"
"Are you telling the truth?" Shen Zhiyi stopped crying and stared straight at Su Che, her big eyes unblinking and incredibly cute.
"Really...really."
"No, Mr. Ye, you need to explain this..." Su Che, who was holding Shen Zhiyi in his arms, kept winking at Ye Tingru, but she was pouting and still wanted him to give an explanation.
