After Breaking Up, I Shared an Apartment With My Best Friend and Her Boyfriend (H) - Chapter 29: Two People Tightly Embracing

Chapter 29: Two People Tightly Embracing

Wen Sui came back.

The video call she had with Chen Qiao was to confirm Chen Qiao was home. She wanted to surprise Chen Qiao.

When Chen Qiao was on the video call with Wen Sui, she had some doubts. Wen Sui was in a car, and the scenery outside the car window looked somewhat familiar to Chen Qiao. But she didn’t think much of it and never expected Wen Sui to return without warning.

When Wen Sui appeared at the door, she was quite surprised. After all, it wasn’t Chen Qiao who opened the door—it was her boyfriend, Xu Yanqi, who opened it for her.

It was supposed to be Xu Yanqi’s working hours.

“Xu Yanqi!”

“Why are you… why are you home!”

Wen Sui bounced with excitement. Her legs sprang up, and she jumped onto Xu Yanqi, who instinctively caught her. Her whole face showed wild joy.

She completely forgot she and Xu Yanqi were still in a cold war.

Chen Qiao stood in the living room, her arms gracefully crossed over her shoulders, quietly watching the two tightly embrace, as they always did.

When Wen Sui looked up and saw Chen Qiao in the living room, she smiled even more happily. Her lips curved into a beautiful arc, and her medically whitened teeth sparkled under the light.

“Qiao Qiao!”

Wen Sui clung to Xu Yanqi, her head resting on his left neck. Her eyes, like fiery lava, stared at Chen Qiao.

Seeing Wen Sui hanging on him like a human ornament, Xu Yanqi closed the door, turned around, patted her back, and told her to get down.

It was the first time Xu Yanqi didn’t let her stay clinging to him. Wen Sui frowned, thinking of acting cute with him, but suddenly remembered they were still in a cold war. She consciously got off him.

Then Wen Sui walked toward Chen Qiao. She confidently stepped in her high heels, looking very tall. Her eyes, like two black gems, sparkled brightly when she looked at people.

“Qiao Qiao, were you surprised? I’m good at making surprises, right?”

After speaking, Chen Qiao lowered her crossed arms and opened them to welcome her. “I was really surprised. I didn’t expect you to come back suddenly.”

Wen Sui naturally hugged Chen Qiao. Under the last rays of sunset coming through the window, both their faces showed warm, friendly smiles.

Xu Yanqi brought Wen Sui’s suitcase from the entrance. He was about to take it to his room, but Wen Sui snatched it from his hands. “I’m sleeping with Chen Qiao, not you.”

After saying that, she straightened her back, proudly lifted her chin, handed the suitcase to Chen Qiao, and affectionately linked arms with her.

“Let’s go.”

Then Wen Sui pushed open Chen Qiao’s room door and pulled her inside.

As the door closed, Xu Yanqi stood outside. His gaze met Chen Qiao’s as she looked up.

Their clashing eyes locked, like two electric currents colliding.

In that moment, both felt awakened by each other’s gaze, reminded of what they had just done on the sofa.

As the door shut, Xu Yanqi didn’t linger in the hallway. He returned to his own room.

Wen Sui didn’t know the apartment’s soundproofing was so poor. Before, only she and Xu Yanqi had lived there, so no one else had stayed in the apartment.

Because of this, she didn’t realize that everything she said in Chen Qiao’s room was clearly heard by Xu Yanqi, who had opened his door.

“Why did Xu Yanqi get off work so early? Qiao Qiao, do you know?”
