Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Catching Adultery in the Early Morning?

Among the sisters in the dormitory, the one Yu Qiao Qiao got along with best was Yang Nuannuan.

After all, of the people in the dorm, Brother Ying could not be relied upon, and the three youngsters were more like little sisters.

Compared to these four girls, Yu Qiao Qiao could be considered more mature-minded.

It was only Yang Nuannuan who was gentle, considerate, kind-hearted, and liked to look out for her dormmate sisters.

Whatever happened, Yu Qiao Qiao would usually discuss it with Yang Nuannuan and ask for her opinion.

So, if she had to say who she trusted the most in the dorm, Yu Qiao Qiao would definitely choose Yang Nuannuan without hesitation.

But then, one day, Yang Nuannuan disappeared and before vanishing, she had warned her to be wary of the people around her and to watch out for Chen Yan’s attraction to women.

Yu Qiao Qiao panicked right away. She had no idea what to do.

She felt a bit lost, and a bit helpless too.

She didn’t know what had happened or what she should do.

However, maybe because of Yang Nuannuan’s warning, even though Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t pay much attention herself, she couldn’t help but let her gaze linger more on Chen Yan and the women around him.

And after observing for several days, Yu Qiao Qiao became even more perplexed.

Because she felt... Chen Yan seemed to have no issues.

Yang Rou was usually ice cold and always by-the-book at work, busy at the company from day to night. Saying she had an interest in Chen Yan was even less likely than saying she was more interested in her career.

Lu Man... As a rising first-line female celebrity, and particularly with Chen Yan’s "Sunrise Project," she was so busy she hardly showed up at all. Today flying to Tiandu, tomorrow to another city, the day after to Changsha.

She was indeed intimately close with Chen Yan the rare times she did return, but... well, that’s the entertainment industry for you, where boundaries are generally more relaxed. Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t think there was anything needing attention.

He Mengxue... Yu Qiao Qiao knew she seemed to have always been fond of Chen Yan. But it was also quite obvious that Chen Yan was avoiding her. Everything was strictly business, official and by-the-book.

The rest, the three youngsters, weren’t even in Chen Yan’s vicinity.

So for a while, Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t know whether she was being foolish or if Yang Nuannuan was just too sensitive.

She felt... everything seemed normal.

Except for... Brother Ying.

In Yu Qiao Qiao’s careful observations, she did feel that there was something not quite right between Chen Yan and Zhao Ying. Their relationship appeared to be developing too quickly, and Brother Ying’s behavior towards Chen Yan was very intimate.

So for a time, Yu Qiao Qiao half-disbelieved: could it be... Brother Ying?

Could it be... that day Sister Nuan Nuan said all those things just to warn her about Chen Yan and Brother Ying having issues?

As this thought emerged, Yu Qiao Qiao became a bit dazed.

But then she was immediately filled with guilt.

She felt she was simply too bad.

How could she think that way about Brother Ying and Chen Yan?

Although Zhao Ying’s care for Yu Qiao Qiao was not as gentle as Yang Nuannuan’s, in these two years, Yu Qiao Qiao had always received Zhao Ying’s care.

Not to mention Chen Yan.

Yu Qiao Qiao felt that since she was with Chen Yan, she should trust him.

Originally thinking this, she didn’t want to delve deeper into it anymore.

But sometimes, once people become sensitive, it’s uncontrollable.

In the past couple of days, Yu Qiao Qiao suddenly noticed that Zhao Ying was acting sneakily, with very odd hours—often running out early in the morning or in the middle of the night.

No one knew what she was doing.

And sometimes, Yu Qiao Qiao would hear from colleagues that recently, they’d seen Zhao Ying and Chen Yan coming into work together.

So for a time, Yu Qiao Qiao started to waver again.

On one hand, she felt she should trust Chen Yan and Zhao Ying; on the other hand, she started to wonder if she really should see what Zhao Ying was actually up to.

So, one day, after Zhao Ying sneaked out early in the morning, Yu Qiao Qiao just couldn’t sit still anymore. She put her shoes on and followed after Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying walked nonchalantly, completely unaware that a sorry little tail was following her.

Then Yu Qiao Qiao was surprised to see Zhao Ying arrive at the Twin Towers Hotel. She also saw Chen Yan coming from afar, cheerfully greeting her.

Then the two of them, arm in arm, went into the hotel...

That moment, Yu Qiao Qiao’s head went "bang!" and she felt completely stunned.

Even without seeing her own face, she still knew her face must be deathly pale.

She watched the scene in front of her in disbelief. Yang Nuannuan’s words echoed in her ears: "Don’t trust the people around you..."

"Especially Brother Ying..."

That moment, Yu Qiao Qiao felt her tears were about to burst forth, but she covered her mouth and hurriedly suppressed them so she wouldn’t cry out loud.

Watching Chen Yan and Zhao Ying walk into the hotel, though her heart was tearing apart, Yu Qiao Qiao still followed after them, clinging to the last thread of hope.

Because she had no remarkable investigative skills and feared startling Chen Yan and Zhao Ying, Yu Qiao Qiao could only trail them at a distance.

Entering the hotel, Yu Qiao Qiao saw Chen Yan and Zhao Ying bypass the reception altogether and head straight for the elevators.

She hurried after them and saw the two enter an elevator, the doors slowly closing amidst their laughter.

Yu Qiao Qiao weakly watched the elevator floor indicator.

She wanted to figure out which floor they were going to.

As for what to do after figuring that out, she... didn’t know.

Fortunately, the elevator stopped after only going up two floors, and Yu Qiao Qiao saw the number three on the elevator display, her eyes filled with confusion.

’Third floor? Did someone else go up? Or did they go to the third floor?’

Soon, after a brief pause, the elevator resumed ascending, and the floor numbers continued to climb.

Eventually, the elevator stopped at three floors: the fifth, the eighth, and the twelfth.

Seeing the elevator begin to descend, Yu Qiao Qiao roughly understood that these three floors were likely the floors Chen Yan and Zhao Ying might have gone to.

She bit her lip. Although she dared not continue the chase, the tiny, feeble hope she harbored made her swallow back her tears and take another elevator.

Inside the elevator, Yu Qiao Qiao tried pressing the buttons for these three floors. She found out that because it was a high-class hotel, only the corresponding floor cards could access those specific floors. Floors below the fifth floor could be visited without a card.

With no other option, Yu Qiao Qiao could only dumbly watch as the elevator ascended to the fifth floor.

The doors opened, and Yu Qiao Qiao stepped out to find that it didn’t seem like any hotel rooms but rather a functional area.

For a moment, Yu Qiao Qiao was puzzled.

’Could it be... that I’ve misunderstood Chen Yan and Brother Ying?’

The thought filled her with much joy.

She ventured further inside.

She discovered the fifth floor was vast: there was a swimming pool, an indoor tennis court, a gym, and other sports facilities. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The more Yu Qiao Qiao walked, the more she felt that if Chen Yan and Zhao Ying were indeed here, there... probably wouldn’t be an issue.

However, after all, this was just the first floor where Chen Yan and Zhao Ying had taken the elevator and stopped.

If a hotel guest had finished exercising and gone up, riding the same elevator as Chen Yan and Zhao Ying would be quite normal.

So, with hopes and worries in tow, Yu Qiao Qiao began a timid search on the fifth floor.

Possibly because it was early morning, too early for most guests to exercise on the fifth floor, Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t encounter anyone else while looking for Chen Yan and Zhao Ying.

This caused her heart to sink bit by bit.

After all, if she couldn’t find anyone, it was most likely that hotel guests had finished their workout and gone upstairs, which was the most probable scenario.

That meant it was more likely that Chen Yan and Zhao Ying had gone straight upstairs to a room.

Consequently, Yu Qiao Qiao’s eyes began to redden again.

Just as Yu Qiao Qiao was thinking this, suddenly, she heard an indiscernible moan from nearby.

"Ah~"

"Ah~~"

Yu Qiao Qiao stood still for a moment, then followed the direction of the sound.

It wasn’t far from where she stood, so she quickly reached the source.

It was a tightly shut gym with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.

As she approached, the moaning stopped, and instead, she heard a strange slapping sound.

In between, it seemed that a familiar voice was interspersed.

But due to the hotel’s excellent soundproofing, Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t make out what was being said inside.

Nevertheless, those two odd sounds made her unbelievingly cover her mouth, walk into the gym, and quietly push open a crack in the door.

Looking through the crack.

At first glance, Yu Qiao Qiao saw Chen Yan and Zhao Ying, whom she had been searching for all morning, inside.

But this discovery made her heart sink even more.

If the two were inside, then the noises from earlier...

She couldn’t help but widen the crack a little more, to give herself a better view.
