After leaving the hot spring and changing into her own clothes, Zhou Mei pulled Ye Lina toward the restaurant.
Yelena did not resist. She was somewhat dazed at the moment, letting Zhou Mei pull her forward.
At this moment, the words Chen Luo and Wen Wan had spoken were still echoing in her mind.
Admittedly, anyone can say sweet words, but there was not a trace of flattery or coaxing in Chen Luo's tone.
Instead, it carries a unique meaning of deep affection and unwavering devotion, even unto death.
She had heard the same tone before; it was when her mother was sick in her childhood that her father had said something similar at her bedside.
But that was the deep affection her parents had accumulated over decades of knowing and loving each other.
But what about Chen Luo and Wen Wan?
They've only known each other for less than a month, right? How did they accumulate such terrifying affection?
Could Chen Luo truly be an extraordinary man who is deeply devoted to love?
No, such a person probably doesn't even exist in this world, right? Or is it that Chen Luo's acting skills are enough to fool Wen Wan and me?
If that's the case, then Chen Luo is terrifying; he probably has grand ambitions.
Countless questions and doubts arose, and the mystery that was originally meant to be explored only gave rise to more unknowns and doubts.
It's really not surprising that Yelena overthinks things; who could have imagined that Wen Wan and Chen Luo could develop such a deep relationship in such a short time?
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Mei noticed that Yelena was acting strangely, so she immediately stopped and turned around, pulling her to sit down on a stone bench nearby.
"Zhou Mei, you like Chen Luo so much that you even did this kind of experiment for him. Do you really understand him?"
Changing her previous arrogant tone, Yelena humbly asked Zhou Mei for advice.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mei immediately lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
"Yes, I know him very well. I have all his information, and you've seen those documents."
Yelena nodded, after all, those documents contained almost all of Chen Luo's privacy.
"But as for understanding Chen Luo's inner thoughts, I really have absolutely no confidence."
"Oh? What do you mean by that?"
Yelena suddenly had a feeling that she might be about to uncover some clues about Chen Luo.
"Just over two weeks ago, Chen Luo was a complete simp, but ever since he met Wen Wan, his personality has completely changed."
Zhou Mei recalled the various behaviors and intelligence she had gathered about Chen Luo since September and recounted all the recent events.
This is also to ensure that Yelena, the "control group," remains in a state similar to herself, and to ensure the authenticity of the experiment.
Then she recounted how Chen Luo had previously flattered Tang Xiwei, how he had met Wen Wan, and so on.
Zhou Mei focused on Chen Luo's transformation and the process of setting up the milk tea shop.
However, details about Chen Luo's magnesium group plan and Zhou Mei's game development business were not disclosed.
After all, she's just a tech geek, not really stupid. And this Miss Ye is also a businesswoman; one should always be wary of others.
Yelena also knew some of the details, but not as much as Zhou Mei. After pondering for a while, she looked at Zhou Mei.
"So, Chen Luo's change only happened recently, and it's most likely because of Wen Wan, is that what you mean?"
Zhou Mei nodded: "Strictly speaking, that is indeed the case."
"No! Something's not right!"
"Even love at first sight shouldn't involve such intense feelings; there must be a deeper reason behind it."
"Something's wrong with Chen Luo, very wrong with him."
Is it really that simple for someone to have a complete awakening about relationships? And is this awakening accompanied by a complete overhaul of one's understanding?
Suddenly having an epiphany and becoming a business prodigy with advanced knowledge?
And he so easily won over such an extraordinary woman as Wen Wan, making her willing to risk her life for him and Wen Xiu?
Could a sycophant possess such terrifying charm and attraction?
Is it really possible for a person to develop such a complex array of attributes in just half a month?
"Business attributes maxed out, charm value maxed out, sycophancy value zeroed out."
"I can't even create such an attribute enhancement in my games, so it's normal for you to be shocked."
Zhou Mei put her arm around her shoulder and looked at her with great interest.
"That's right! So you can understand the purpose of my experiment! It's to figure out what's so special about this magical creature, Chen Luo."
"I like him not only because he can help me with games and has terrifying knowledge, but also because of the mystery that always lingers around him."
“Okay! I’ll continue our research with you. We must figure out Chen Luo’s secret.”
At this moment, Yelena felt a surge of anxiety, as if Chen Luo's face and figure were already etched into her mind.
What's causing this anxiety? Could it be that, like Zhou Mei, I've fallen for Chen Luo because of his mystery and the contrast between his appearance and his personality?
No! Impossible!
How could I have fallen for a gentle man? I just wanted to figure out the secret behind it.
Yes! In order to defeat Wen Wan, we need to understand her man. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!"
After convincing herself with all her might, Yelena followed Zhou Mei to the restaurant.
It was lunchtime, and Liu Hua and Mo Ye had arrived and were waiting.
Liu Hua was looking down at her phone, and her petite figure created a striking contrast with the enormous panda.
Yelena looked at the pair of enormous things and subconsciously looked down at herself.
Damn it! I actually lost!
"This is Chen Luo's childhood sweetheart, named You Liuhua. She also likes Chen Luo, but Chen Luo has always treated her like a younger sister."
"That cool girl is called Mo Ye. She's Chen Luo's bodyguard. Nothing special about her."
Zhou Mei's voice timely reminded Yelena of the identity of the person in front of her, which could be considered as sharing information.
What? This unbelievably cute girl also likes Chen Luo? Is Chen Luo really a succubus?
He doesn't have to do anything and a bunch of girls are throwing themselves at him? And he can reject them all and only be devoted to Wen Wan?
A succubus-like Liu Xiahui? Isn't this a bit too complicated, a mix of Eastern and Western characters?!
Yelena really wanted to complain on the spot, but her proud and aloof personality prevented her from saying it.
"Oh? Everyone's here. Looks like you're all hungry."
Wen Wan walked in, arm in arm with Chen Luo, her cheeks flushed. She looked at everyone with a radiant face, finally fixing her gaze on Yelena's face.
"Miss Ye, you're here too. What brings you here? Would you do us the honor of having dinner with us today?"
