Chapter 594: Best Friend Turns into Lover!

Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Best Friend Turns into Lover!

People say behind every successful man, there is a woman who silently contributes without seeking fame.

Zi Yumo was willing to be that woman behind Xu Qianli,, as long as she could help Xu Qianli, to help him rise up high in the world. She was willing to do anything for him.

Of course, getting Bai Yanran involved this time would definitely be more beneficial to Xu Qianli.

Her man, they had resolved to assist him!

Once they had reached a consensus, they began discussing the specifics, plotting Xu Qianli’s future, plotting how to better help him in the future.

They talked for quite a while, and in the midst of their conversation, Zi Yumo’s gaze towards Bai Yanran suddenly took on a peculiar cast.

Having noticed this, Bai Yanran touched her own cheek, "Yumo, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"There’s nothing on your face; I just genuinely think you’re too beautiful."

"Having a beauty like you as my best friend, I’m starting to feel the pressure."

"It’s a pity I’m not a man, otherwise, I would definitely marry you and make you my wife."

Zi Yumo whispered tenderly, even going so far as to take Bai Yanran’s hand and pull her into her embrace, holding her tightly.

"Mm, Yumo, what are you doing, holding me so tight? I can barely breathe," Bai Yanran felt that something was off; her best friend had never done this before, so why was she acting like a completely different person now?

"I won’t let go, I just won’t let go!" Zi Yumo not only didn’t loosen her hold but hugged even tighter, her red lips approaching her ear, "I’ll tell you a secret, I have always liked you."

"I like you too," said Bai Yanran. "You’re my best friend, my closest ally."

"No, what I mean is, I don’t just like you as a best friend. I like your body, your face, I like you as a person!"

"Now that I’ve spoken to this point, do you understand what I mean?"

"If you don’t get it, just think about Jinse and Zi Ning’s relationship, then you’ll understand."

Zi Yumo said, shedding her facade and candidly revealing her feelings for Bai Yanran; she really couldn’t suppress it any longer.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanran’s body stiffened.

What, Zi Yumo had that kind of affection for her?

Really now, she was a woman, and so was she; how could that be possible?

Suddenly, Bai Yanran recalled something, "Could it be that you’ve been reluctant to find a boyfriend, rejecting all men’s pursuits, because of this?"

"Since you’ve guessed it, I won’t hide anything. That’s exactly it."

"I know as a woman, I shouldn’t like you, but I can’t control my feelings. I don’t want to hurt you, so I kept hiding my feelings until I met Xu Qianli and fell for him."

"Today is different. Now we’re both with Xu Qianli, and we’ve become sisters. I have nothing to hide and therefore have told you everything."

"Yanran, will you find me disgusting, come to loathe me?"

"If what I’ve done hurts you, I want to say sorry first. It wasn’t intentional; it’s just that I couldn’t suppress it any longer."

With those words, tears fell from Zi Yumo’s beautiful eyes.

She had intended to keep her feelings buried deep inside forever, never to mention them to anyone, let alone let Bai Yanran know.

But today, she could no longer hold them back and finally confessed her heart to Bai Yanran.

She also knew that by doing so, she might hurt Bai Yanran, cause her to drift away, or even grow to despise her, but she couldn’t control herself any longer.

Bai Yanran quickly recovered from her shock and gently said, "Alright, stop crying. I’m not angry, and I certainly don’t dislike you. I just think you’re so silly. Why didn’t you say it earlier? And, I have to ask, do you still like Xu Qianli?"

Zi Yumo nodded.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, she indeed had Xu Qianli in her heart, and she couldn’t forget that man—she even fell in love with him.

Bai Yanran said, "I like both you and Xu Qianli, with the same feelings as you have."

Zi Yumo’s ears perked up, and she hurriedly asked, "What did you say? Did you just say you also like me, with the same feelings?"

Bai Yanran nodded and whispered, "Otherwise, why do you think I’ve never been willing to have a boyfriend? It’s all because of you. I didn’t want to hurt you, so I kept it a secret. Unexpectedly, you feel the same way about me. We’re so silly. Wuu..."

Bai Yanran’s words were cut off when Zi Yumo suddenly kissed her, interrupting her.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Bai Yanran and Zi Yumo passionately kissed each other. Both had harbored feelings for each other but kept them hidden, and now that they had opened up, they could no longer restrain themselves.

While kissing, they fell onto the soft bed, and one piece of clothing after another fluttered down...

Some time passed before the two of them, faces flushed, lay together in an embrace, looking into each other’s eyes filled with seductiveness, charm, and a touch of shyness.

Thinking back on what had just happened, Bai Yanran snuggled against Zi Yumo’s cheek and asked, "Yumo, do you think what we did is considered a betrayal to Xu Qianli?"

Zi Yumo said, "I don’t know if it’s a betrayal, but I’m sure that if he found out about what we just did, he’d probably turn into a tiger and bully us terribly."

"He’s exactly like a tiger, so bad," Bai Yanran’s pretty face grew hot, Xu Qianli was indeed much more formidable than Zi Yumo.

Zi Yumo smiled slightly, "Definitely, Xu Qianli that guy can be so fierce."

"Two beautiful ladies, am I really that bad, that fierce?"

Suddenly, Xu Qianli’s voice sounded, startling both Zi Yumo and Bai Yanran.

They followed the sound and saw a man sitting in the corner sofa of the bedroom—who else could it be if not Xu Qianli?

Zi Yumo quickly asked, "You, how are you in the room, when did you come in?"

Xu Qianli spoke with a smile, "I’ve been here for a while, and even filmed a little drama."

Xu Qianli had come to call them for dinner. Upon entering, neither of them noticed him, so he simply didn’t disturb them. Occupied watching the drama unfold, he even filmed it.

Zi Yumo and Bai Yanran looked at Xu Qianli’s phone, seeing the video of themselves being intimate, and their faces blushed instantly.

Bai Yanran covered her cheeks, and Zi Yumo let out a low cry and jumped out of bed toward Xu Qianli.

"You jerk, not only did you spy, but you also filmed, it’s utterly despicable!"

"Hand over the phone right now, delete the video immediately!"

"If you dare to blackmail us with the video, I’ll fight you!"

In extreme embarrassment, Zi Yumo, regardless of being unclothed, lunged at Xu Qianli, determined to take the phone from him.

Really, she and Bai Yanran thought no one knew about their secret, but it was all exposed by Xu Qianli—the shame was unbearable.

And the video was even more humiliating; they had to seize it no matter what.

Zi Yumo was fast, but Xu Qianli’s hands were faster. He swiftly pocketed his phone and then reached out, pulling the delicate beauty Zi Yumo into his embrace.

"Ah, let go of me!" Zi Yumo cried out. How could Xu Qianli, that bad egg, move so swiftly?

"Not letting go, not for the life of me!"

Not only did Xu Qianli not let go, but he also fiercely kissed Zi Yumo, pinning her down on the sofa.
