The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Upon hearing Zhang Yurong's complaint, Yue Yao hurriedly explained for Li Yan, saying that no matter what, he didn't have such intentions.

"In my opinion... that Yu Xiaodi doesn't know you at all. She was just bickering with Wen Qianyi out of jealousy earlier; otherwise, she wouldn't have said that. Besides, you shouldn't be so angry. Actually, they're probably having a harder time. Remember? While we were outside waiting, they hadn't left either. They were already arguing loudly, and when they saw Li Yan carrying another woman into the parking lot..."

To be fair, Yue Yao's way of consoling was quite effective. People are like this: when they are down, they wish for others, especially their enemies, to be down too. It's the most frustrating thing when you're unlucky, but your enemies are thriving! Whether Zhang Yurong admits it or not, Yu Xiaodi and Wen Qianyi were certainly not in her list of friends. Thinking that she wasn't the only one having a hard time, her anger lessened a lot.

"Forget it; I won't think about it anymore." She said, getting up and heading out with Yue Yao.

After coming out, the two noticed the lights were on downstairs and immediately thought that Li Yan had returned, exchanging a glance.

Yue Yao noticed that Zhang Yurong didn't want to see Li Yan, so she said, "It must be Li Yan coming back. How about I go check on him first and ask him to apologize to you?"

Zhang Yurong was about to agree but suddenly changed her mind.

Why should I?

This house was bought with my family's money; I'm not living at his place. Why should I avoid him? He should be the one feeling guilty and ashamed to see me, shouldn't he?

Thinking of this, she decisively said, "It's fine, I need to go down too."

But Zhang Yurong was still Zhang Yurong. Even if she went downstairs with the intent of questioning him, she still gave herself a reasonable excuse. She went back to the office, brought out the unfinished sweet soup, drank it quickly, and under the pretense of taking down the bowl, she went to the large living room on the first floor with Yue Yao.

Because just now Zhang Yurong instructed the housekeeper not to need anything else, she had already gone to rest. Now, in the bright living room, there were only two people - Li Yan, who had just returned, and Yu Xiaodi, who was visiting for the first time.

Li Yan had just gotten a water for Yu Xiaodi and was drinking some himself when they heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and both turned their gaze towards it.

This is the time for a formal meeting and confrontation!

Zhang Yurong had a strong aura when she came down, but upon seeing Li Yan, she became a bit bewildered. What's the point? Isn't he just that kind of person? She didn't just meet him today; he had always been like this! She just hadn't cared before. Was she really going to break up with him because of this?

Yue Yao accompanied her downstairs, feeling a bit nervous too, because she didn't know if she was considered the fifth wheel. If so, it would be quite troubling; if not, it would be even more distressing. Moreover, she was most worried that Li Yan would blurt it out directly in front of Zhang Yurong, which would instantly destroy the newly established but very amicable relationship between her and Zhang Yurong. That would be a harm to both her and Zhang Yurong!

Yu Xiaodi was also nervous. After all, she's only nineteen; dealing with emotional issues, she acts more on impulse than reason. She might not be able to argue with a company president. Besides, technically speaking, the other woman is his legal wife; she can only be considered a third party, perhaps not even qualifying as one. What grounds does she have to confront and negotiate with her? If she's chased out shamefully, that would be humiliating.

However, seeing Li Yan gave her a bit more confidence. So what if she's the wife? So what if she's a company president? I never wanted a penny from you, nor to replace you. All I want is Li Yan's love. As long as he loves me, he'll naturally leave you for me!

The three of them were under a lot of stress, but Li Yan was under even more pressure!

Tonight's multi-party date was his attempt and could be considered a wrong decision. Bringing Yu Xiaodi back was also his decision; whether it was wrong, he wasn't sure, but at least he was certain of his own choices.

...

As the footsteps drew closer, the two entered Li Yan's line of sight.

Zhang Yurong and Yue Yao both saw him and immediately noticed her, stopping in their tracks at once.

The living room was large, with the four of them each on opposite sides, creating a confrontational scene.

Zhang Yurong initially wanted to remain passive and see what kind of explanation Li Yan had. After all, no matter what he said, she wasn't planning to care anymore. However, she hadn't expected that he didn't come back to explain but brought his lover home!

This is just too much! It's one thing for you to fool around outside, one eye open and the other closed, and even if you messed around tonight, it would have been over. But bringing her home now, what do you mean by that? Do you want to kick me out and keep her?

Thus, she coldly said, "What? You've brought her back?"

She had already walked over proudly and sat on the sofa.

"Since it's like this, just say it directly. Do you want to keep her and kick me out?"

Yue Yao came over silently and sat next to Zhang Yurong to show her support. She also shook her head, wondering why Li Yan acted so rashly. It secretly saddened her; though he'd just told her everything, it was after the fact. He hadn't mentioned it at noon, and now bringing Yu Xiaodi back, he hadn't mentioned anything over the phone either.
