Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Husband Becomes Bestie’s Boyfriend

"Uh... honey, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Ye Xuan scratched his head, tentatively asking.

"Ridiculous! Of course, I want the truth. What’s the point of your lies? Could it be you have some unspeakable secret you want to deceive me with?"

Lin Tong said irritably, her wise eyes scrutinizing Ye Xuan.

"Heh heh, how would I dare to deceive my dear wife? I’m just afraid that if I tell the truth, you might get angry! Women who get angry often tend to get wrinkles, and I’m saying this with your best interests at heart."

Ye Xuan chuckled sheepishly, then said earnestly.

"With my best interests at heart, huh? Humph, if you were really considering my feelings, you should be all the more truthful!"

Lin Tong scoffed, speaking indifferently: "Stop beating around the bush and just say it."

"Then you have to promise not to get angry first," Ye Xuan negotiated.

Lin Tong raised her eyebrow, replying: "Fine, I’ll try not to get angry, but it depends on what you’re going to reveal! If you’ve done something that’s unforgivable or unacceptable to me, then you’ll have to deal with it yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling a bit regretful about deciding to tell the truth. He had truly dug himself into a hole!

After deliberating on his tone for a moment, he finally began: "This matter started last Friday..."

Meanwhile.

While Ye Xuan was explaining the whole story to Lin Tong, Su Yumo was already in the restroom.

In reality, she didn’t need to use the toilet; she went to the restroom to calm herself down and to relieve the awkward atmosphere.

Standing in front of the washbasin, looking up at her reflection in the mirror, Su Yumo pondered why, upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words at the dinner table, her heartbeat inexplicably sped up, leaving her extremely nervous and completely discomposed!

Was it really... because she couldn’t swallow her pride? Or was it because Ye Xuan’s words had touched the deepest secret in her heart?

"It must be that jerk’s nonsense, making me lose face in front of little Tong, that’s definitely it!"

Su Yumo comforted herself deep inside, choosing an answer that convinced her.

And she came up with a sound rationale: she had always detested men, so how could she possibly like this scoundrel? It must be because she had no fondness for men whatsoever, and it was Ye Xuan’s obnoxious blabbering in front of her good friend that made her unable to save face, hence the anger!

Yes, that explanation was credible and perfectly reasonable!

Having come to this conclusion, Su Yumo’s mood gradually stabilized, and she no longer felt so embarrassed.

She took a deep breath and then turned on the faucet, letting the clear, cold water rush out and wash over her delicate hands, flushing away the last traces of irritation and restoring her calm.

...

While Su Yumo was washing her hands.

On the other side.

After hearing the entire story, Lin Tong’s expression became somewhat complicated, unsure of what to say, even feeling at a loss for words.

Her own husband had turned out to be her best friend’s fake boyfriend; what was going on?

Even though he was just a pretend boyfriend, it still made her feel uncomfortable! It was probably the case for any woman who found herself in this situation.

Lin Tong opened her mouth, wanting to scold Ye Xuan, but she didn’t know how to begin.

It was Su Yumo who had requested this favor, and Ye Xuan had simply been trying to be helpful. If she were to scold Ye Xuan, wouldn’t she be blaming Su Yumo as well?

After thinking it over carefully for a moment, Lin Tong also came to terms with it.

Su Yumo had always loathed men, never having a real thing for any of them! Forget about a boyfriend, thus far, she didn’t even have a single male friend.

So, her choosing someone to pretend to be her boyfriend to deal with family expectations made sense.

But unfortunately, the person she chose was Lin Tong’s own husband, which left Lin Tong rather speechless.

However, Lin Tong was a smart woman, and a generous one at that. Even though there was a faint displeasure in her heart, she knew such matters were not worth making a fuss over. It was only that Ye Xuan had done Su Yumo a favor, something she could fully understand.

Moreover, putting herself in their shoes, if it were her, she probably would have made the same choice!

After all, despite Ye Xuan appearing to be quite the scoundrel at times, once you really got to know him, you would find that he indeed had many good points, making him the perfect candidate to act as a fake boyfriend. Su Yumo choosing him was proof enough of her husband’s excellence.

Of course, the premise was that Ye Xuan’s assistance had to come from the right motives! If his intentions were crooked, then Lin Tong would not be able to forgive him.

"When you pretended to be Yumo’s boyfriend, why didn’t you mention the relationship between us?"

Lin Tong was ready to give Ye Xuan a piece of her mind, her eyes sharply fixed on him as she asked.

"Well, she didn’t ask me...*cough cough*! No, I mean, without the golden permission of my wife, how dare I casually blurt it out? Heh heh heh..."

Ye Xuan felt a pang of guilt as the words slipped out, and the moment he saw Lin Tong’s severe expression, he quickly corrected himself.

After finishing his words, he chuckled twice, stealthily wiping the cold sweat from his forehead!

"Didn’t get my permission? When have you ever been so obedient to me? Or is it that you didn’t want to say it, deliberately keeping it a secret?"

Lin Tong gave Ye Xuan a sidelong glance, piercing through the truth with her words.

*Cough cough*... "Wife, you’re overthinking it. I was just worried that telling her would affect Yumo’s state of mind! Don’t you think, if she knew I was your husband, how surprised would she be, and how could she still play the part convincingly?"

Ye Xuan shifted his gaze and, with a cough, spoke with feigned seriousness.

"Heh, it had better be the case, otherwise..."

Lin Tong let out a cold laugh, her gorgeous red lips curling with a hint of chilling intent, "Imagine the consequences as gruesomely as you can!"

...

When Su Yumo returned, the meal had already been served, and everyone began to raise their chopsticks.

The meal concluded with everyone harboring their own thoughts!

After leaving the restaurant, Su Yumo said goodbye to Ye Xuan and Lin Tong, and hopped into a taxi to leave.

Ye Xuan had intended to send her off, but was rejected by her. Especially in front of Lin Tong, and with Ye Xuan’s joke still echoing in her mind, she didn’t want to give her good friend any wrong impression.

Watching Su Yumo depart in a taxi, Ye Xuan and Lin Tong also went their separate ways, driving in different directions.

Lin Tong naturally drove home, but as for Ye Xuan, he was somewhat indecisive at the moment.

Should he return to Lu Miaochan’s home, tightly embracing her as he happily dozed off? Or should he catch up with Su Yumo to apologize?

It seemed like the woman was truly angry today!

He was caught in a dilemma!

Let’s not talk about Ye Xuan’s current difficulties.

After Su Yumo got home, she sat alone on the sofa, beginning to contemplate her thoughts.

The words Ye Xuan had said during dinner had caused a great impact on her heart, making it impossible for her to remain calm.

Although she tried to convince herself that it was because she had lost face, which made her feel uncomfortable and unaccountably irritable.

But at this moment, sitting quietly alone, she couldn’t deceive her own heart.

It seemed that she had become increasingly dependent on this man, and her fondness for him was growing stronger to the point of addiction, as if she couldn’t be without him.

Once away from him, her heart would feel empty!

No wonder as soon as she got home, she felt like something was missing.

The missing person turned out to be Ye Xuan, missing his teasing and playful banter!

"Could it be... I really like him?"

A thought popped into Su Yumo’s mind, startling herself.
