It’s only a little past eleven. Whether it’s a date or whatever, it wouldn’t be that early, right? Setting aside the time to leave the house, wait for a ride, and travel, you just run to someone’s house, meet briefly, and leave. Is that normal?

He vaguely thought of something he was extremely unwilling to consider – this man didn’t just come to visit in the morning, he most likely spent the night at Wen Qianyi’s place!

This thought twisted Li Yan’s heart with pain, and this reaction made him faintly realize that his feelings for Wen Qianyi were deeper than he had imagined!

He took several deep breaths, exhaling heavily. After a few times, he felt a little better. He discarded his cigarette butt, rubbed his hands on his face a few times, still needing to meet later, and didn’t want to show any distorted expressions. After all... they’re still good friends, right? She wasn’t his girlfriend in the first place, so he couldn’t just not be friends because he saw her with another man, right?

Even though he tried to persuade himself by saying nothing was confirmed between them, and that he was quite flirty himself, there was no doubt that Li Yan’s originally fine mood for the day was greatly ruined.

At this moment, his phone rang, and when he looked, it was Wen Qianyi calling!

He looked up and saw her summoning a taxi while on the phone.

Wow, back to back events, she’s quite busy! Li Yan sneered slightly, not answering right away, trying to calm himself down and avoid giving anything away.

But... am I any different? Didn’t I just part from Yurong and now come to meet Wen Qianyi? Aren’t I also calculating the time between them? How is this different from Wen Qianyi? If she sees me as a backup and juggles two relationships, then I’m juggling several and don’t just want a backup, I want it all! Among them is her, making me even more shameless, so what right do I have to criticize others?

"Are you out? Do you want me to pick you up?" Li Yan said as calmly as he could.

"No need, just tell me where you are, I’m on my way! I’m already in a taxi, hehe, might drink later, so driving myself isn’t convenient." Wen Qianyi laughed, as if not driving was due to potential drinking, though heaven knows she’s driven numerous times after drinking heavily.

Li Yan told her the address. Then he quickly started his car, sped up, took a shortcut from another direction, so she wouldn’t notice anything.

He drove fast and already knew the specific location, so he arrived before the taxi. After checking in with his phone number and last name, the waiter just led him to his seat when Wen Qianyi arrived!

By then, the restaurant had a few guests, but not many, and Wen Qianyi immediately spotted him upon entering.

"Wow! It’s a birthday, I thought you’d be more dressed up, but it seems you haven’t put on much makeup, and your clothes aren’t special either." Li Yan forced a smile, unable to resist making a jab.

Wen Qianyi didn’t think much, laughing, "Why? Afraid I’ll embarrass you, make you lose face? Your outfit’s pretty ordinary too oh, big guy?"

"Hey... how could that be, you’re so beautiful, you don’t even need makeup or fancy clothes, you could mesmerize people without anything on..."

"What are you talking about?" Wen Qianyi feigned anger, playfully scolding.

"Uh, I meant ordinary clothes..."

Wen Qianyi didn’t mind, chuckling softly, "To be honest with you, I didn’t have time to do my makeup or change my clothes, my dad just left my place!"
