The Queen Flower Lady paused, realizing he had misunderstood, and coughed awkwardly, "Dying is not going to happen, it’s just... it’s just..."

"Since when do you start talking so hesitantly? If it’s death, then let it be quick."

"It won’t be death, it’s just..."

The Queen Flower Lady sighed, "I can’t stand up anymore."

"Well... that’s not too bad, it’s better than being dead."

The Queen Flower Lady originally thought he would be dejected, so she kept it a secret, but unexpectedly, he seemed quite relieved.

"Looking at you now, you don’t seem to resent me or hate me anymore."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." The Queen Flower Lady handed him a glass of water, "Can’t speak? Just stop talking and drink your water, your lips are all cracked."

"Using water to shut my mouth?"

"Shut up, will you."

Seeing him not taking the cup, the Queen Flower Lady directly pushed it to his lips.

Forced to drink a couple of sips, the man almost choked, coughing several times, "Your tenderness lasts less than three minutes."

The Queen Flower Lady sneered, "You like someone delicate, like my bestie?"

"I told you, you’ve misunderstood!"

"Misunderstanding? Both of you were on the sofa! What, if I hadn’t come in, were you planning to make a baby?"

"I said your bestie falsely accused me, deliberately fell on me, intentionally trying to create a rift between us, do you believe it?"

"Impossible, why would she do that?"

"Why... I said she likes you, wants us to break up, and wants to drive me away from you, do you believe it?"

"Impossible! What nonsense are you talking about! She’s my childhood friend, and she’s also a girl!"

"I knew it, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it. I’m tired, let me have some peace."

The Queen Flower Lady didn’t want to talk to him anymore, snorted coldly, and left.

The people hiding outside the door to eavesdrop scattered in a hurry.

The Queen Flower Lady went to the Ancient Castle hall, saw everyone was busy with their own things, didn’t disturb anyone, and silently left the Ancient Castle.

As soon as she left, everyone went into an uproar.

"Oh my god, I heard big news!"

"Is what her ex-boyfriend said true? Her bestie likes her?"

"Could it be the guy’s trying to find an excuse for his infidelity?"

"Not likely, even though they haven’t been here long with the new boss, you can tell by his eyes, this guy doesn’t seem like someone who’d cheat, let alone eat grass by the edge."

"From a guy’s perspective, generally mature men wouldn’t over-contact their girlfriend’s bestie, let alone create such misunderstandings."

"Speaking of which, if a woman likes her, it’s not impossible; she’s all muscle, very masculine."

"If it were truly her bestie’s doing, she’s really got some tricks."

"Shh, everyone calm down." One person’s eyes moved towards the staircase where Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan stood, signaling colleagues not to speak carelessly in front of children.

Little Taotie blinked and asked, "Can a girl not like another girl?"

Everyone: "..."

Little Taotie tilted his head innocently, "I really like Xiao Lingzhi."

Everyone gasped.

Standing beside Little Taotie, Hua Jinyan twitched his mouth, grabbed Little Taotie’s hand, and led him upstairs, "Let’s not disturb everyone’s work, let’s go upstairs."

Little Taotie muttered, "I really don’t understand, why can’t girls like girls? Is it something wrong?"

Hua Jinyan whispered a small explanation, "This kind of like is different, friendship like and romantic like are not the same."

Little Taotie half-understood, "Oh, I see."

Once the silhouettes of the two kids disappeared on the staircase, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Almost corrupted the kids."

"If Little Taotie knew about girl-girl, boy-boy stuff, it’d be sinful."

"We have to be careful with what we say from now on."

"Right, right, we need to pay attention to what we say."

Meanwhile, the frustrated Queen Flower Lady had already arrived at her bestie’s doorstep. She didn’t even know why she came here, even though her ex’s words were absurd, she couldn’t help but take them to heart.

She stood at the door, reaching her hand to press the doorbell, when suddenly, she heard loud and intense arguing from inside before she could press it.
