Chapter 76

Hearing Yaolei's heartfelt words, Zhou Wenwen felt a sharp pain deep inside her heart. She gripped Mu Yan's hand even tighter, as if trying to vent her agitated and uncontrollable emotions.

When she finally let go of his hand, Zhou Wenwen asked, "Leilei, is there something between you and Brother Yan? Tell me, I... I don't want to be kept in the dark!"

Seeing Zhou Wenwen fall for it, Yao Leilei thought to herself, "Wenwen! It's not that I want to hurt you, but this guy is no good. You're not too deep in it now; you'll just cry for a couple of days and be sad for a while. But if this pretty boy really takes advantage of you, it'll be too late."

With this thought, Yao Leilei looked at Mu Yan with a complicated expression and said calmly, "I like eating fish too. In the past, when we ate together, you would order fish, but you never put it in my bowl, let alone pick out the bones. Wenwen, he's really good to you, you're so lucky!"

Hearing this, Zhou Wenwen felt even more distressed, as if she had taken something very important from someone else. "Leilei, did you... were you and Mu Yan... a couple before?"

"No... not really. I know he understood my feelings, but he never admitted it!" Yao Leilei said with a sad expression.

Zhou Wenwen felt even more heartache upon hearing this. She looked at Mu Yan, and there were even tears in her eyes.

Mu Yan felt that Yao Leilei was going too far, especially since Wenwen had such a strong reaction. He had to warn her, so he said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Yao Leilei, that's enough. Some things should be left alone!"

"How can you talk to Leilei like that, Brother Yan? Even if something happened between you two and you didn't end up together, you shouldn't talk to her like that!" As soon as Mu Yan spoke, Zhou Wenwen immediately protested, even defending Yao Leilei against him.

Zhou Wenwen's actions left Mu Yan speechless, and Yao Leilei felt a surge of satisfaction. However, she maintained a sad expression and said, "No, Wenwen, it's my fault. I shouldn't have deliberately upset him. I knew he had a big ego, but seeing him always unwilling to give me a clear answer, I thought I'd play a trick to make him nervous, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to ruin everything..."

At this point, Yao Leilei covered her face and let out a sob.

Feeling his arm being tightly gripped again, Mu Yan knew that Yao Leilei's act had completely fooled Zhou Wenwen. This made him extremely angry, but if he exposed Yao Leilei, she would also expose him. So, he could only warn her again, "Yao Leilei, I hope you know your limits!"

Hearing Mu Yan's words, Yao Leilei continued to cover her face and said, "Mu Yan, I want to know my limits, and I've been trying to remind myself that you're just a stranger, but I can't do it!"

"Leilei, don't cry. Why don't we find a place to talk this out slowly?" Zhou Wenwen actually comforted Yao Leilei. Despite Yao Leilei clearly being Mu Yan's ex-girlfriend, Zhou Wenwen, as his current girlfriend, was being magnanimous and comforting her rival. This made Mu Yan and Jiang Feifan both admire her.

Mu Yan naturally felt Zhou Wenwen's kindness.

Jiang Feifan was even more certain that this woman would be a good wife and mother, someone who wouldn't cause trouble.

Since a love triangle had formed, Jiang Feifan decided to fan the flames. He put on a very angry face and said to Mu Yan, "Mu Yan, if you like someone, don't play with their feelings. I hate people who toy with girls' feelings the most!"

Jiang Feifan sounded very righteous, but after saying this, he felt a bit embarrassed when he thought about himself.

Yao Leilei, who was deeply into her act, almost burst out laughing when she heard Jiang Feifan's words. Fortunately, she was covering her face, so no one noticed anything unusual.

"Yao Leilei, you're really something. I have to admit, I'm impressed!" Mu Yan was at a loss, realizing he would have to explain everything to Wenwen later. If she didn't believe him, he would have to take her to Zhang Huangyan for proof.

However, while Mu Yan was thinking this, Yao Leilei continued her act. Hearing Mu Yan's seemingly sarcastic words, she felt the timing was right and dropped her final bombshell, "Mu Yan, I know I shouldn't have done that before, but you can't ignore my feelings, and you can't deny the days we spent together. Dare you swear on your mother's name that you never hugged me, touched me, or kissed me before?"

Mu Yan never expected her to say such things, and he couldn't refute them. He felt the situation becoming more complicated, especially since he saw Wenwen crying.

Yao Leilei had made Wenwen cry, and Mu Yan was furious. He immediately went to Wenwen's side and said softly, "Wenwen, don't be sad. There's more to this story. I'll explain everything to you later."

Mu Yan's intention was to tell Wenwen the truth about Yao Leilei being a police officer, but he didn't expect Zhou Wenwen to shake her head and say, "Brother Yan, I understand. I know that when you first met Leilei, you must have liked her. Otherwise, you wouldn't have hugged her or kissed her. I know that the reason you didn't give her a clear answer was because of Feng Yuting. You didn't want to see her again with someone else by your side, while she had been waiting for you for ten years. You couldn't do that, so when Leilei deliberately upset you, you left her. I think you knew she was trying to upset you, but you felt you couldn't give her a commitment at that time, so you left her. Later, when we met, you found that the person who had been waiting for you no longer needed to wait. That was the most empty time for you, and I happened to be by your side, so I became the one who filled your emptiness and healed your wounds. If I hadn't appeared, I think you would have gone back to Leilei, right?"

Seeing Wenwen, who had become a tearful mess by the end of her words, Mu Yan felt very heartbroken. He also had to admire her rich imagination, connecting all these dots.

At this moment, Mu Yan noticed a flash of satisfaction in Yao Leilei's eyes, confirming that she was clearly trying to break up him and Wenwen.

He couldn't let this continue. Mu Yan immediately took Zhou Wenwen's hand and said, "Wenwen, come with me. I need to explain some things to you!"
