Chapter 34 Catching Both Sides in Adultery

ed dejectedly into his car feeling foolish as he realized that Li An was different from ordinary people. His residences were spread all over the world. If it was indeed Li An who had taken Yan Luoxi a...Chapter Thirty-Four: Catching Husband in the Act

Zhou Guangtao and He Yufan, along with a few people who looked like businessmen, laughed and chatted as they walked out of the restaurant, their faces flushed red, clearly having just had drinks.

The others waved goodbye to Zhou Guangtao and He Yufan before heading towards the parking lot on the side.

After saying goodbye to those people, He Yufan and Zhou Guangtao walked in the direction of Yan Luoxi and the others, causing Yan Luoxi to instinctively shrink under her seat. She soon realized how foolish this was; Ran Xu could clearly see through any attempt at privacy, as the car windows were tinted darkly so that no one outside could see inside.

Seeing the other people leave, He Yufan naturally linked arms with Zhou Guangtao. It seemed she had drunk quite a bit, her beautiful eyes sparkling like stars and her cheeks flushed red as she tilted her head up to speak to Zhou Guangtao, her smile radiant and bright.

Zhou Guangtao smiled down at her with matching eye contact and an expression of contentment.

The two walked arm-in-arm directly past Yan Luoxi's car. Her mind was a blank as it felt like it had exploded from the shock.

Oh God, did she need to be continually reminded and proven this She wanted to act dumb, but even eating lunch wasn't possible anymore!

Yan Luoxi used to believe that all men in the world were unfaithful, yet Zhou Guangtao would surely remain loyal to her. But reality was so cruel; things that seemed impossible turned out to be true.

Zhou Guangtao not only had an affair but with someone who was also her best friend.

"That person... Is he your boyfriend" Ran Xu, who had seen Zhou Guangtao and He Yufan too, timidly asked Yan Luoxi.

Yan Luoxi didn't answer. At this moment, she seemed to have lost the strength to speak, her chest aching severely and feeling suffocated, with slight tremors in her fingers.

"Luo Xi, are you okay" Ran Xu finally noticed something amiss about Yan Luoxi and asked with concern.

Yan Luoxi took a deep breath. From the rearview mirror, she saw He Yufan getting into Zhou Guangtao's car and sitting in the front passenger seat. Zhou Guangtao quickly drove off.

She squinted her eyes and steeled herself. "Ran Xu, follow them."

Ran Xu’s handsome face seemed to spasm a little. He cautiously glanced at Yan Luoxi before starting the car.

Zhou Guangtao didn't drive back to the company but went instead to He Yufan's house.

On the way, Yan Luoxi’s agitated emotions gradually calmed down, and a bitter smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Zhou Guangtao parked his car downstairs in front of He Yufan's home. Then he got out with He Yufan and went upstairs.

Yan Luoxi watched their side-by-side silhouette, wondering if she should retaliate, tear off the masks they wore, or make things extremely awkward for them

She gnashed her teeth in hatred. A dangerous glint flickered in her dark eyes.

She wanted to end this pitiful love triangle. They enjoyed their affair, but she couldn't allow herself to be treated like a fool any longer.

Perhaps on that day at the café, she should have barged in angrily and splashed water in each of their faces or slapped them hard, demanding an explanation.

"Ran Xu, do you have any water or food in your car" Yan Luoxi’s voice was rather calm.

Ran Xu handed her a bottle of mineral water and then rummaged around for two chocolate bars, asking with puzzlement: "What’s up Are you planning to cause a scene"

Yan Luoxi looked at him unexpectedly: "You seem to be quite good at reading people."

"Are you really going to cause a scene"

"Yes, I am!" Yan Luoxi nodded vigorously. She ate the chocolate in her hand with big bites, warming up her empty stomach. “I can’t hold back anymore. Anyone can bully me, but not them. One of them is my most beloved person, and the other is my good friend. They cannot do this to me.”

Ran Xu stared at Yan Luoxi and tried to console her: "You still love him If you truly love him, why would you want to hurt each other"

Yan Luoxi suddenly raised her head, with eyes filled with sorrow and anger. “I cannot swallow this humiliation.” The thought of revenge was like a bird growing bigger and bigger, flapping its wings back and forth in her heart, almost about to break through.

Ran Xu patted her head gently, sighing softly: "Luoxi, think it over carefully. After you cause a scene now, there’s no turning back for both of you. No matter how much you love him, everything will be irreparable."

Yan Luoxi's eyes welled up with tears and her nose stung.

Thinking about the consequences of causing this scene, she was not without fear or sorrow. She yearned for love more than anyone else and needed warmth more than anyone else. She knew that after she caused a scene, she would truly lose Zhou Guangtao forever, never seeing his handsome face again, unable to embrace him in his broad arms, and hearing no more of his warm voice.

But what was the point of deluding herself by maintaining this fragile love

"Ran Xu, based on your extensive experience in acting, can you guess how far they’ve gone" Yan Luoxi’s thin face slowly spread into a smile, her eyes gradually focusing. She couldn’t help but admire herself for still being able to laugh at such a time.

"Luoxi!"

Ran Xu looked at Yan Luoxi, who was smiling even more painfully than crying, feeling heartache involuntarily as his hands clenched into fists on his knees.

Love is a double-edged sword; when she is cruel to others, she is being cruel to herself.

"Catching someone in the act requires two people, and I should be there at the right time now." Yan Luoxi looked up at that window, tears streaming down her face as she made this decision. Her heart was bleeding and convulsing...

No explanations needed, no room for retreat, nothing to挽回.

Ending things so cleanly would be good for both of them.

"Do you want me to go up with you" Ran Xu asked as he saw Yan Luoxi open the car door.

"No." Yan Luoxi immediately declined, because this was no fun; she didn't want anyone to see her dear brother's humiliation and awkwardness.

Yan Luoxi easily went up the stairs, stood at He Yufan's doorstep, and took out the key.

The owner of this house was Xue Liping. Back then, Xue Liping had wanted to make amends for her past mistakes by giving this house to Yan Luoxi.

Yan Luoxi refused to take it, so Xue Liping gave the last set of keys under the pretense of having Yan Luoxi manage the property. Yan Luoxi kept these keys together with those to her own home.

Usually, new tenants would change the locks when moving in, but He Yufan, being familiar with Yan Luoxi, did not change them.

Little did they know that this would enable each other today.f only we had known how important genetics were, we wouldn’t have had any children!"Lǐ Hào Nán smiled bitterly. What does she mean by this Does she want me to hurt myselfHis face contorted as he looke...
