Spend Money on Goddess, Use more! Gain more!-Chapter 342 - 213: Confession, Admission, Finally I Can Hold Both in My Arms! (Triple Combo)
The next day, after having lunch together, Wu Wei sent Sun Yi to the entrance of the hospital’s research building.
Watching her walk into the building somewhat awkwardly, Wu Wei smiled, then turned the car around and headed towards Kaiyuan Mansion.
With the New Year’s holiday over, the city returned to its weekday rhythm.
As soon as Wu Wei opened the door, he heard the buzzing sound of a vacuum cleaner.
Looking over, he saw Zhou Yujie in her home clothes, sleeves rolled up, diligently cleaning the master bedroom.
Wu Wei walked behind her, gently wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said warmly, "Darling, this room is so big, cleaning it is too tiring. How about hiring a maid to help with cleaning regularly, or even cooking, so you’ll be much more relaxed."
"No need, I’m not working, so I just do some housework and cook during the day. How tiring can it be?"
Zhou Yujie stopped her actions, turned off the vacuum cleaner, shook her head, and said, "It’s good for the body to be active, plus... having outsiders at home makes me feel uneasy."
Wu Wei felt it made sense, so he didn’t insist.
He turned her around to face him, and looking into her eyes, he said earnestly, "Stop cleaning for now. Don’t you have something... you want to tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yujie visibly froze for a moment, lifted her gaze, her eyes complexly landing on Wu Wei’s face.
She remained silent for two seconds, gently shook her head, and with a deliberately calm tone said, "No, whatever you want to say, you’ll naturally tell me, and what you don’t want to say, I won’t ask."
Wu Wei felt a bit complex hearing this, and he held her hand, walked to the spacious, soft sofa in the living room, and let her lean against him.
"It’s about Yuyan."
Wu Wei stated frankly.
The key issue between him and Zhou Yuyan lay with Zhou Yujie.
And as a man, facing such a situation, simply hiding or escaping is useless, he must take the initiative to stand up, communicate, and resolve it.
Zhou Yujie’s body imperceptibly stiffened for a moment, then immediately relaxed, as if she had anticipated it.
She let out a soft "oh," without much emotion in her voice.
Wu Wei lowered his head, gazing into her eyes directly and honestly: "On New Year’s Eve... I kissed Yuyan. When you came over, you should have... already noticed, right?"
"Yes, I noticed."
Zhou Yujie nodded, her expression somewhat complex.
"Darling, speaking honestly with you, initially, I really had no thoughts about Yuyan. At that time, I thought her cold temperament and strong personality weren’t what I liked."
Wu Wei tightened his grip on Zhou Yujie’s hand and said sincerely, "Until that day at the hot pot restaurant, when I saw her being troubled by a group of burly customers, clearly helpless, aggrieved, and scared, yet still holding on trying to settle things peacefully... At that moment, I realized she’s actually a delicate woman needing protection and care. That’s when I started having a different feeling about her."
"Later, when we returned to the office, I could vaguely feel she actually also had a good impression of me..."
Zhou Yujie listened quietly, her eyes gradually reddening: "So... that day when I told you not to have thoughts about Yuyan, you immediately asked ’what if she has thoughts about me,’ right?"
"Yes." Wu Wei nodded.
"Actually, these days I’ve also noticed Yuyan’s feelings towards you."
Zhou Yujie sniffled: "Honestly, I’ve been torn for days, several sleepless nights, not knowing how to face it, let alone how to handle it..."
"Actually, this is better."
Suddenly she let out a long breath, as if releasing a heavy burden: "A suspended heart has finally died... no more wild thoughts tormenting myself, though my mind is still a mess, surprisingly, I feel... much more relieved."
"I’m sorry, darling."
Wu Wei hugged her tightly, and left a remorseful kiss on her smooth forehead: "I don’t want this to hurt you, but I also don’t want to keep it from you, so I felt I had to clarify things with you."
"No need to say sorry."
Zhou Yujie lifted her head: "If it were just you harassing and forcing Yuyan, then indeed, an apology would be necessary, but now... Yuyan clearly also has feelings for you, you don’t need to apologize for this."
She spoke as her eyes gradually turned red: "Between you and Yuyan... I can leave it alone or even try to accept it, but Yuyan is, after all, my sister. I still say, regardless of what happens, I just hope you won’t let her get hurt."
"I promise you!"
Wu Wei replied without hesitation, his tone firm: "I will definitely not let her get hurt."
As he caressed her back, he continued: "But, Yuyan is now carrying heavy psychological burdens, feeling intense pressure, surely filled with guilt towards you, afraid of hurting you, more afraid of losing you as her sister..."
"Rest assured."
Leaning against him, Zhou Yujie’s emotions gradually calmed: "I’ll find a time to talk to her properly, clear things up. As for her reaction after listening, what decision she makes... that’s between you and her, and... I can’t interfere."
"Also, about you having a girlfriend outside, for now, I can keep it a secret for you, but I hope one day you’ll tell her yourself, without hiding anything from her."
