After Trying To Pursue The Cold, Elegant Beauty. I Ended Up Being Flirted With Instead - Chapter 27

“I’d like to see who this vixen is!”

How was Wen Zhu supposed to answer this?

Tell the truth? Tell her that the wound was from her accidentally kissing Wen Zhu and getting scratched by Wen Zhu’s necklace?

Give Wen Zhu eight hundred guts, and she still wouldn’t dare say that.

But it was a good thing that Li Zhiyun had forgotten.

Wen Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile, and said in the most natural tone, “Don’t worry, Miss Li, you didn’t do anything.”

“As for this injury…” She thought for a moment, then turned and walked towards the dining table. “It looks like you accidentally bit yourself while talking yesterday.”

She gave an awkward laugh. “Haha, Miss Li is quite talkative when she’s drunk.”

After saying it, even Wen Zhu thought her explanation was ridiculous.

She walked away a little too hastily and didn’t notice the flicker of amusement in Li Zhiyun’s eyes when she heard the excuse.

“Is that so?” Li Zhiyun said.

With that, she also sat down beside Wen Zhu.

Under Wen Zhu’s stunned gaze, she blinked, “I haven’t had breakfast either. Aunt Tang said I could eat breakfast here. Miss Wen won’t allow it?”

For some reason, her words sounded slightly aggrieved.

Aunt Tang was the owner of the guesthouse.

Wen Zhu was already feeling guilty, so how could she refuse?

She quietly moved over a little, making room for Li Zhiyun.

Looking around at the items on the table, Li Zhiyun picked up a bowl of sweet tofu pudding. “This looks delicious, can I have some?”

“Of course.”

Wen Zhu’s gaze involuntarily darted to the wound at the corner of Li Zhiyun’s lip again. “But you have a sore mouth right now, so it might be better to check the temperature first.”

Li Zhiyun immediately picked up a spoon.

Then, before Wen Zhu could react at all, she smoothly held a spoonful of tofu pudding to Wen Zhu’s mouth. “Then you can check the temperature for me.”

The tofu pudding was sweetened, and the fragrant, warm air wafted over.

The soft touch near her mouth.

It inexplicably reminded Wen Zhu of the kiss last night.

Her breathing hitched.

Her heart pounded like a drum in her chest.

Wen Zhu turned her head. Li Zhiyun was looking at her.

Her eyes were clear, and her expression was candid.

She seemed truly just asking Wen Zhu to check the temperature of the tofu pudding.

Wen Zhu had no choice.

She steeled herself and opened her lips to take the white porcelain spoon into her mouth.

The tofu pudding was not hot, with a perfect sweetness, delicate, and smooth.

Just as Wen Zhu was about to tell Li Zhiyun.

At that moment, a figure walked in.

A sharp glare, like needles, pricked Wen Zhu.

The contained fury in the eyes was almost enough to ignite the air.

Immediately after, an extremely furious voice exploded in the living room.

“What are you two doing!”

The voice was laced with shards of ice, and in an instant, all the blood in Wen Zhu’s body rushed back to her heart.

She didn’t even need to turn around to confirm.

Pei Xiubai’s previous warning echoed in her ears.

She abruptly stood up, turning to block Li Zhiyun.

At the entrance to the living room stood two people.

Pei Xiubai’s expression was icy, as if she could freeze the air, and following behind her was Jiang Xinxin.

Why were they here?

What was going on this morning? Why were they all rushing to this small guesthouse?

Wen Zhu spoke, her voice somewhat dry, “Why did you suddenly come over?”

She had thought that after saying those words to Pei Xiubai, she would be able to enjoy a period of peace.

Pei Xiubai looked at her protective posture, and the coldness in her eyes intensified.

She walked closer, step by step, the sound of her high heels hitting the floor like a deadly curse with every impact.

The rage in her tone was practically erupting.

“You still have the nerve to ask!”

She had just received the news this morning.

Manager Wang from Wen Zhu’s department was not only exposed for gambling and owing a mountain of loan shark debt.

There were even rumors that this Manager Wang had previously used his position to deliberately make things difficult for Wen Zhu.

The moment Pei Xiubai heard the news, she almost immediately canceled her morning meeting and rushed straight to the guesthouse where Wen Zhu was staying.

But how did Wen Zhu treat her?

She rushed over, only to see Wen Zhu, behind her back, intimately eating breakfast with some obscure woman!

That woman was even feeding her with a spoon!

Did Wen Zhu not have hands? Did she need to be waited on like this?

Rage mixed with an indescribable sense of betrayal violently crashed against Pei Xiubai’s chest.

“Wen Zhu!”

She gritted her teeth, her voice forced out through the gaps between them. “How dare you!”

Her gaze sharply swept over Wen Zhu and then landed on the woman behind her, whose contours were only partially visible.

“If I didn’t come, how would I see you hooking up with someone else? Is this the ‘friend’ you mentioned last time? What kind of friend feeds you breakfast? What do you have to say now? Are you that desperate? Can’t even eat a meal without another woman?!”

These words were incredibly harsh.

Wen Zhu’s face instantly turned pale.

She subconsciously clenched her fingers.

Seeing Wen Zhu’s appearance, the fire in Pei Xiubai’s heart burned even fiercer.

She was going mad with anger!

She had always regarded Wen Zhu as her possession.

As her Pei Xiubai’s property.

Even if she didn’t want it, even if she threw it away, she would absolutely not allow any other woman to trespass or defile it!

This strong, sudden sense of possessiveness caused her to lose all reason.

“Move aside!” Pei Xiubai’s voice was utterly cold, and she reached out to push Wen Zhu.

“I’d like to see who this vixen is!”

She hadn’t been able to find out who Wen Zhu was associating with over the past few days.

Pei Xiubai was furious, and her push was not gentle.

Wen Zhu was thrown off balance, her body uncontrollably staggering backward.

Just as Wen Zhu was about to hit the corner of the wooden table, a pair of hands reached out from behind her and firmly embraced her.

The air in the living room seemed to freeze.

Pei Xiubai’s movements halted.

Her gaze swept over Wen Zhu’s shoulder, and she finally saw the face of the woman behind her.

The look of intense fury on her face instantly froze, replaced by an expression of incredible shock.

“It’s you?”
