After Breaking Up, I Shared an Apartment With My Best Friend and Her Boyfriend (H) - 54
Chapter 54: What Do You Suspect Between Me and Her?
Wen Sui quickly pulled her hand back from his jacket pocket. She pretended to stay calm as she continued asking, “Is she prettier than me?”
“Or does she have more talent than me?”
Wen Sui’s heart pounded faster and faster as she spoke. She did not know if Xu Yanqi had noticed when his eyes had just looked over.
“You’re prettier. You have more talent.”
Xu Yanqi first narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he answered that sentence with no expression on his face.
After Wen Sui heard it, joy showed all over her face.
Until the man suddenly stood up from the computer chair and walked toward her. His eyes now looked like a sharp sword, coldly piercing toward her without fear of anything.
“This is the answer you wanted, right?”
He walked to the bedside and suddenly picked up that jacket she had just probed. He turned the pocket inside out to show her.
“There’s nothing in the jacket. Why did you touch my jacket? And what was the purpose of you asking that question?”
Under his glaring gaze, Wen Sui felt Xu Yanqi’s humiliation toward her for the first time. He exposed what she had done so directly, leaving her no face at all. It crushed her self-esteem bit by bit, as if in that moment, the whole world mocked her in her ears.
Pain filled Wen Sui’s heart. The sense of humiliation made her unable to lift her head for a while.
Of course, she did not dare to answer that she wanted to see the property invoice Chen Qiao had given him.
So, as her heart thumped wildly, Wen Sui pinched the bedsheet with her fingers. She sobbed, crying as she said to Xu Yanqi.
“Xu Yanqi, are you and Chen Qiao hiding something from me?”
When he heard the hysterical words she cried out from her mouth, Xu Yanqi’s eyes stayed calm like a mirror. He showed neither mountains nor water.
“What do you suspect between me and her?”
After he said that, Wen Sui desperately held her breath. “I…”
She wanted to say it but did not dare to say it out.
In the end, the man stood in front of her and patiently waited for her to speak. He waited a long, long time. Wen Sui clutched the bedsheet tightly in her hands. After the shame made her feel too embarrassed to show her face, she opened her mouth.
“Who told you to talk to Chen Qiao like that in the car? It was so without any boundaries.”
Wen Sui still had no face to say that she had tried to peek at that invoice.
Because she only suspected Chen Qiao and had no evidence at all.
She felt Chen Qiao’s behavior was abnormal, and her boyfriend’s reactions lately had been extremely abnormal too.
It made her vaguely guess if there was something between Chen Qiao and Xu Yanqi. And before, when she had rushed out in a fit, she seemed to have forgotten that she had left Chen Qiao and Xu Yanqi alone in the house.
Even though Chen Qiao had been about to go out to work at that time.
But later? She had not gone to work. For more than half an hour, she had still been in this neighborhood, and Wen Sui had even run into her.
“So, you went through my pocket because of Chen Qiao? You wanted to see the property invoice she gave me? You wanted to confirm if she really went to pay the property fee?”
Xu Yanqi went straight to the point with Wen Sui. It made Wen Sui’s face burn hot. Facing his questioning, she felt deep shame.
“I didn’t!”
She denied it on instinct. As she spoke, she lowered her head, not daring to meet Xu Yanqi’s eyes.
Then she heard Xu Yanqi laugh. “Wen Sui, are you thinking in your head that something happened between me and Chen Qiao when we were alone in the house?”
After he said that, Wen Sui felt a wave of heat surge endlessly inside her body. A hard-to-describe fear and unease rose in her heart right away.
“Then have you ever thought that, since she moved in so long ago, if something was going to happen, wouldn’t it have happened already?”
He pursed his thin lips and questioned her. “Is there any need for you to investigate like this?”
She had never expected him to say that.
And she felt what he said made a lot of sense.
Wen Sui suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to spill over. The corners of her mouth trembled uncontrollably too.
“I suddenly just regret it. I regret letting her move in to share the rent with you!”
After Xu Yanqi heard her words, he clenched his fist. His eyes looked like a fierce tiger facing her.
“Then you tell her and make her move out.”
After he said that, he held that jacket in his hand and turned to leave coldly. But Wen Sui suddenly grabbed his clothes.
“No, Xu Yanqi, don’t be mad at me. Isn’t it normal for me to suspect?”
