Chapter 332: Chapter 352: Perhaps It’s the Clarity of a Drunken Heart _1

Lin Chen looked at the two women huddled together and whispering, feeling a bit panicked inside.

What are they talking about?

Why are they so engrossed in their conversation?

Is Gu Yuexi disappointed now, or maybe even resentful that I kept this secret from her?

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Zuo Yingying returned, leading Gu Yuexi by the arm.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell upon Gu Yuexi’s face, only to be surprised to find her expression quite calm, without any hint of agitation.

"Yue Yue..."

Gu Yuexi looked up and suddenly said with a smile, "Let’s continue drinking. It’s much more fun with three people than two. Let’s play a game!"

Drink?

Lin Chen subconsciously looked at Zuo Yingying next to him, who smiled sweetly and secretly gestured an OK sign at Lin Chen.

OK?

What’s the meaning of OK?

Although Lin Chen wasn’t sure, he felt a sense of relief.

Since Gu Yuexi didn’t mention it, it wasn’t appropriate for Lin Chen to say anything. So, they continued to drink.

Perhaps at this time, it’s difficult to make any decisions. Drinking might be the best option, as it can help forget one’s troubles.

The three of them began playing a game and drinking.

That night, Gu Yuexi got extremely drunk.

Lin Chen carried Gu Yuexi into the only bedroom and laid her on the bed, saying, "You two should sleep, I’ll go lie down outside."

Zuo Yingying, however, grabbed his arm and said with a tender smile, "It’s so cold outside. This bed is wide enough for three; let’s squeeze in together."

Lin Chen glanced at Gu Yuexi: "What did you tell her?"

Zuo Yingying pulled Lin Chen onto the bed with a charming smile, "I told her either she leaves you, or she tells Jia Xue the truth and lets Jia Xue leave, or she pretends not to know anything and continues as before..."

Lin Chen immediately understood and asked, "What did she say?"

Zuo Yingying giggled, "I don’t know. I’m not a bad person, you know. I only give advice, I don’t push others. Otherwise, if they’re unhappy later, they’ll blame me. People have to make their own choices when it comes to destiny."

Lin Chen thought about it and agreed. Considering what Zuo Yingying said, she was actually helping him. After all, it would be difficult for him to bring it up himself.

"Thank you!"

Zuo Yingying snuggled into Lin Chen’s embrace and said with a smile, "Being your woman isn’t easy, you know. I even have to worry about your original partner..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Indeed, I don’t know what you were thinking."

Zuo Yingying pouted and feigned resentment, "What can I do? I can’t compete with Jia Xue or Xiaoxi. I have to please them so I can survive."

Lin Chen chuckled and gently pinched her tender cheek, "Alright, it’s late. Let’s sleep."

Zuo Yingying playfully pushed Lin Chen to turn on his side and said with a smile, "Go and hug Yue Yue. I’m already happy with just a corner to stay in during times like this."

Lin Chen felt a bit embarrassed, "She’s already drunk, isn’t she?"

Zuo Yingying laughed lightly, "Maybe in her drunkenness, her heart is clear. Just be a bit more assertive, like how you treat me!"

Lin Chen, of course, wouldn’t take advantage of Gu Yuexi in her inebriated state. However, when he woke up, he found Gu Yuexi curled up in his arms, sleeping peacefully like a little kitten with a gentle smile on her face.

Lin Chen turned to see Zuo Yingying looking at them with a smile.

Like a lazy cat, Zuo Yingying silently got out of bed, leaned over Lin Chen and gave him a good morning kiss before she left the room, leaving the space for the two of them.

Lin Chen lowered his head to look at Gu Yuexi, only to find her fair-skinned face turning inexplicably red.

Lin Chen recovered his senses and said with a smile, "Awake?"

Gu Yuexi’s face blushed even more as she opened her eyes, her gaze a mix of shyness and joy.

"Mhm."

Lin Chen casually asked, "How long have you been awake?"

Gu Yuexi pursed her lips, suddenly clenched her fist, and hammered Lin Chen’s chest. She gave him a big roll of her eyes, which seemed a little coy.

Lin Chen understood and his expression became a little awkward.

Apparently, Gu Yuexi was already awake when Zuo Yingying was engaging in her little flirtatious act with him just now.

Lin Chen had to change the subject: "Are you hungry? Want to get up for breakfast?"

Gu Yuexi lazily turned in Lin Chen’s arms, her back against him, and whispered, "I feel dizzy. Let me sleep a bit more."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen held Gu Yuexi, feeling the weight of a burden in his heart lifted.

From Gu Yuexi’s reaction, it seemed she had no plans to leave him. So now the question is, will Gu Yuexi "force" Chu Jiaxue out, or follow Zuo Yingying’s suggestion and pretend nothing happened last night, acting as if she knows nothing and continuing on as an ostrich?

Gu Yuexi finally got up to wash at nine o’clock.

Lin Chen left the room first and saw Zuo Yingying leaning on a lounge chair with her long legs stretched out, playing with her mobile phone.

When Zuo Yingying saw Lin Chen coming out, she turned her head and pouted, wearing a resentful expression, "You were sleeping with a beauty, while I got a scolding from my dad..."
