She immediately cooperated by saying, "I believe you didn’t do anything just now, but why is Qianyi here? Why aren’t you properly dressed? Why is the quilt still messy? Everything is just a coincidence, right?"

Wen Qianyi was not having it when she heard this. What do you want? I’m not trying to stop you. I didn’t want to see it either when I stumbled upon it; you insisted on putting on a show. What do you mean by saying this now? As if he and I were really in some ambiguous situation just now!

"Hai Fu, your words are biased! I just arrived a bit earlier than you, as a friend, wanting to see why he hasn’t gotten up yet. He’s still in bed, that’s just the way it is. Don’t drag me into suspicion!"

"President Wen, it’s not that I want to drag you into suspicion, but..."

Hai Fu wasn’t that easy to fool. Just now, when Wen Qianyi was about to leave, Li Yan went over immediately to stop her, just as he would stop her, in the same way, laying her on the bed. And now, he was pressing in the same way. All of this indicates that in his heart, Wen Qianyi is not just on a level of good friends, but on an equal level. It is very likely that their feelings have already surpassed a platonic friendship between genders! Therefore, she boldly and frankly expressed her speculation.

"...but it’s because Li Yan likes you, and you like each other too!"

"...!"

At the moment when Hai Fu exposed it, Li Yan and Wen Qianyi looked at each other in surprise, speechless.

After a moment of silence, Wen Qianyi calmly said, "Miss Hai, you don’t need to drag me down, aside from company employees’ relationship, Li Yan is my friend, you’re my friend too. I didn’t see anything today, nor will I speak recklessly, you can rest assured! Li Yan, let go of me!"

Her tone wasn’t as urgent as before, nor as loud, but it carried an irresistible power, making Li Yan somewhat hesitant.

She had already spoken, and from Hai Fu’s position, she didn’t continue speaking. Although she felt that Li Yan and Wen Qianyi mutually liked each other, she had just said that simply to drag her into the water. Now, it all depended on Li Yan and his own decision.

"Get up! The longer this drags on, the worse it affects. If those who live with you come back with friends and see this scene, they might not think you’re trying to assault both me and Miss Hai? I may not spill the beans, but if others see it, you won’t be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths." Wen Qianyi said lightly.

Because Li Yan was pressing against their legs and supporting their shoulders, unless both exert strength simultaneously, surpassing Li Yan’s strength, there’s no way to push him away. Now Wen Qianyi was alone, naturally, she couldn’t do it, she could only use words to calm him, make him let go.

"No!"

After pondering for a while, Li Yan resolutely shook his head!

"..."

"Hai Fu’s right, you know it too. I like you, and I don’t believe you have no feelings for me!" Li Yan said seriously, his gaze intense towards Wen Qianyi.

Although knowing this outcome, even though she herself mentioned it earlier, Hai Fu’s heart sank when she heard him admit it. She felt that his original girlfriend had a youthful vibrance that she couldn’t match, and now there’s another excellent presence in Wen Qianyi. Her recent urge to actively pursue happiness was suppressed again.

Wen Qianyi’s gaze dodged, avoiding his eyes. To avoid being too passive, she asked, "You like me? What about Yu Xiaodi then? Don’t tell me she’s no longer your girlfriend! Also... how about Miss Hai? Don’t you like her either?"

This was a tough question, likely Li Yan’s biggest dilemma. She sidestepped bringing it up directly before, but with Li Yan straightforwardly expressing his fondness for her and pushing for her response, she cast the question out.

Sure enough, Li Yan hesitated.

Hai Fu’s heart hung in suspense; her desired answer was for Li Yan to like her too. But she self-acknowledged that her feelings for Li Yan might not be as deep as between them. If privately asked, he might say he liked her to comfort her, but now facing Wen Qianyi, he might reveal the truth!

The phrase, initially suggested by her, seemed harmless before, but now she strongly resisted and feared it. She hadn’t reached a nonchalant level, feeling it was a shameful humiliation!

"I do like Hai Fu, I like you; I also like Xiaodi..." Li Yan truthfully confessed, silently adding a note: there’s others, but I can’t tell you now.

"Haha! You really are broad in love! Are you aiming to be a saint?"

Wen Qianyi sarcastically laughed. She felt somewhat sad, so many excellent men ignored her, yet she unknowingly developed feelings for him. She usually despised those excellent men who lacked true love and were playboys. Unexpectedly, she encountered such a man, a man who already had a girlfriend but shamelessly claimed to like others too!

Hai Fu, however, felt comfort instead of anger when she heard it. No matter what, at least in her worrying moment, Li Yan didn’t utter the words she feared, but rather expressed the answer she longed for openly in front of Wen Qianyi.

Li Yan looked at Wen Qianyi, chuckling bitterly, "You know it, I won’t be any saint, never will be... precisely because... I don’t want to give up. Naturally, I can only speak for myself, affection is mutual, I can’t force anyone..."

Speaking up till here, he sighed softly, hands moving from their shoulders down to the bed, then supported himself up, moved over to sit on a chair. Regardless, the truth finally came out, especially in front of Hai Fu, the outcome now is anyone’s guess.

Li Yan let go, yet they both lay quietly.

His words earlier, Hai Fu might not understand specifically, but Wen Qianyi did. He’s an assassin, naturally he couldn’t be any saint, and because of his assassin role, he understood life’s unpredictability, hence his reluctance to give them up!

Wen Qianyi mused: you’re an assassin, that’s your affair, I’m not one, should I compromise for your sake just because you’re an assassin? Since everyone has different paths, they should be walked separately; I head down my broad road, you cross your narrow bridge...

The unspeaking atmosphere was distasteful. After a while, Hai Fu sat up, spoke to Li Yan: "It’s getting late, go wash up, change clothes! I’ll chat with Qianyi."

Since he had spilled the truth, it ought to be settled, making Hai Fu feel an obligation, being the eldest among the three, to start.

Li Yan nodded in silence, facing them, he couldn’t say anything else, might as well give them some time.

After he entered the bathroom, Wen Qianyi sat up too, feeling the three of them had nothing to discuss, but since Hai Fu proposed they should chat, she didn’t refuse. At least...ask why Hai Fu liked him!

"Let’s go somewhere else! This place is not suited for talking."

"Okay."
