“If she was waiting for so long, why didn’t you open the door any sooner?” Ye Qianqian found Ou Ming’s statement highly dubious. She glanced at him strangely and looked into his eyes. She then stuck her hand out and waved it in front of him.

As if he had no idea that Ye Qianqian was testing him, Ou Ming did not react at all.

Ye Qianqian pouted her lips and walked to the entrance of the bathroom.

Shen Zhilie wanted to follow along but was pushed aside by Ye Qianqian who admonished, “What are you doing? I’m passing a woman her clothes! Why are you following me?”

Upon hearing that, Shen Zhilie instinctively looked toward Ou Ming.

Ou Ming acted as if he hadn’t heard the exchange between the both of them. He turned around and felt his way over to the bed.

The bed was a little messy. One look and anyone could tell that it had been lain on before. However, whether it had been lain on by one person or people remained a mystery.

Just the thought of it alone was enough to cause Shen Zhilie to clench his jaw. Had he known earlier that this would happen, he wouldn’t have been so soft-hearted as to allow Yu Lili to care for the guy. That had been akin to sending the lamb to the slaughter.

Ye Qianqian knocked on the bathroom door and called out, “Lili, it’s me.”

The door to the bathroom quickly opened. Yu Lili reached out an arm from behind and asked, “Why are you only here now?”

“No one opened the door. We couldn’t come in!” Ye Qianqian started to get angry. She pushed the door open to enter. “You, on the other hand... Your ex-boyfriend can’t see anyway! Why didn’t you just open the door? Someone who didn’t know better would think you were up to some monkey business in here!”

That statement carried mostly half-truths and was made to test.

When Yu Lili heard that, she immediately thought of what had just transpired. Her face began to redden.

That man was utterly despicable...

She had especially taken a hot shower and washed for fear of leaving any traces behind.

But, was that what they called a guilty conscience? Or, was it a clandestine affair?

That thought caused Yu Lili’s face to heat up even more.

Oh no! She couldn’t allow herself to be caught by Ye Qianqian!

She stretched her hand and pushed Ye Qianqian out, saying, “Don’t come in. Just pass me my clothes.”

“What are you afraid of? We’re all women. Whatever you have, I have them too.” As Ye Qianqian spoke, she turned around and gave Shen Zhilie a look.

When she noticed that Shen Zhilie looked very much like he wanted to enter, her heart went out to him.

“Why won’t you let me in? What are you doing inside?” she asked.

This was the first time that Yu Lili found Ye Qianqian’s curiosity a bother. She started swearing internally. Since she had already said that, if Yu Lili continued to keep Ye Qianqian from entering, that would begin to create suspicions.

Yu Lili gave it a moment of thought and released her hold on the door.

Ye Qianqian pushed the door open and entered. She found Yu Lili standing behind the door blushing. In surprise, she asked, “Why is your face so red?”

Ye Qianqian’s words made Yu Lili’s heart beat even faster.

Very quickly, she calmed herself down and snatched her clothes from Ye Qianqian’s hands. With a glare, she said, “I’m not wearing anything! I had no choice but to turn the water to the highest temperature. How would my face not be red?”

Ye Qianqian didn’t know whether to believe her or not and gave Yu Lili a onceover.

In terms of looks, other than her skin being fairer than hers, her breasts being bigger than hers, and her waist being smaller than hers, there wasn’t much difference between the both of them.

Sensing Ye Qianqian’s gaze on her, Yu Lili was suddenly thankful that Ou Ming had been more impatient than usual today.

It was a good thing he hadn’t left any teeth marks or love bites on her body. Otherwise, there’d be no way she could talk herself out of that predicament.
