Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 302 - 144: Bai Weixi Declares Sovereignty, The Envy of the Girls

Seeing Ding Shanshan about to call Zhong Tingyue, Xu Tingrou reached out to stop her.

"Shanshan, wait. Don’t call yet."

Furious, Ding Shanshan looked at Xu Tingrou and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Xu Tingrou shook her head. "I think we should calm down first. We can’t be so impulsive."

Ding Shanshan was still ranting angrily, "Li Yuan is a scumbag! He’s two-timing her. How can I calm down?"

Xu Tingrou looked at the infuriated Ding Shanshan, feeling utterly speechless.

He’s not cheating on you, so why are you reacting so strongly?

Although she was also furious about Li Yuan’s scummy behavior, she knew that telling Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi right now wouldn’t help. It would only lead to negative consequences.

"Let’s first discuss how to handle this," Xu Tingrou said. "Even if we do decide to tell them the truth, we should wait until they’re back in the dorm and tell them in person."

"It’s already past midnight. If we call and tell them the truth now, what if they can’t handle it? We aren’t there with them. Who would be responsible if something happened?"

Deng Meiqi nodded in agreement. "Tingrou is right. It’s too late now. We couldn’t handle the responsibility if an accident happened."

Wang Lisha also chimed in with a reminder, "Shanshan, don’t tell Tingyue and Weixi yet. The four of us need to discuss what to do first."

Ding Shanshan’s brow was furrowed, but she gradually calmed down.

They had a point. If Tingyue and Weixi were to do something drastic out of shock... that was a real possibility. These kinds of incidents were often reported online. It wasn’t uncommon to hear about suicides over relationship problems—jumping off buildings, drowning themselves in lakes, or slitting their wrists. Incidents like these happened every so often. Even though they were top students from a 985 university, who could say for sure when it came to matters of the heart? A moment of impulse could lead to an irreversible tragedy.

Wang Lisha frowned. "Li Yuan is such a scumbag. He’s already with Weixi, so why is he chasing Tingyue? Does he know they’re roommates?"

Xu Tingrou shook her head. "I’m not sure. Li Yuan probably doesn’t know."

"If he knew they were roommates and still did this on purpose, that would be unimaginably evil. Even if he went after girls from other schools, that would just make him a scumbag, not evil."

Ding Shanshan gritted her teeth and cursed, "That bastard Li Yuan! Just because he made some dirty money writing books, he thinks he can be such a degenerate scumbag? It’s the 21st century. Does he think he can build a harem?"

"The protagonist in his book, Xiao Yan, is also a scumbag who’s ambiguous with several female characters—his so-called ’confidantes,’ his childhood sweetheart, his beautiful mentor, the ice queen... Clearly, the author writes what he is."

"Men are all trash, always enjoying what’s in their bowl while eyeing what’s in the pot."

Xu Tingrou glanced at Ding Shanshan, exasperated. Where is she even going with this? Male-oriented web novels are all like that. Li Yuan’s is actually quite restrained in comparison. She should see the female-oriented novels. They’re just reverse harems. It’s six of one, half a dozen of the other. It’s just fiction. Applying it to reality is taking it too far.

She sighed. "What do you all think we should do now?"

Wang Lisha also sighed and replied, "We should wait for Tingyue and Weixi to get back to the dorm and tell them face-to-face. That way, we can be there to comfort them and make sure they don’t do anything foolish. It’ll be better with us there to support them." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Deng Meiqi nodded. "I agree with Shasha’s suggestion. Let’s wait for Weixi and Tingyue to come back."

"Alright, let’s do that."

"We’ll talk about everything in person when we see them."

...

「Emerald Mansion.」

Early in the morning, just as dawn broke, Bai Weixi groggily woke up. She glanced at the bedside, only to find that Li Yuan was gone.

She called out toward the living room, "Hubby? Hubby!"

There was no response.

Bai Weixi quickly put on her silk pajamas and searched the study, living room, kitchen, and bathroom, but there was still no sign of Li Yuan.

Strange, where did Li Yuan go? How could he be gone when I woke up? Could he have gone downstairs to buy breakfast?

She picked up her phone, ready to call Li Yuan, when she noticed an unread text message from him.

[Bai, I have an emergency at the company and can’t be with you today. If you’re free, you can hang out with Yuchen.]

Bai Weixi read the text from Li Yuan and felt a sense of relief.

A smile appeared on her face. Even though she really, really wanted to spend time with Li Yuan, she was a sensible girl and knew his work was important. She quickly replied.

[Okay, darling! Work hard! Kisses and hugs! I’ll be waiting for you at home.]

She hit send.

After waiting a little while, Li Yuan still hadn’t replied.

Bai Weixi stretched lazily and walked out onto the balcony. Gazing out the window, she felt extraordinarily happy.

Yesterday, Li Yuan had bought her a sports car that cost over 700,000, making her feel like the happiest woman in the world.

My ultimate dream from high school has already come true just as I’m starting university. My ideal life was to settle down in Modu with a house and a car, never having to worry or argue about daily necessities. My parents are coming from our hometown this morning. They should arrive around one in the afternoon. Should I tell them I’m in a relationship? They’ll probably be very pleased with Li Yuan and happy to have such an outstanding son-in-law.
