Chapter 655: Chapter 655
Just as I was about to explode, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the door.
One of the voices sounded all too familiar.
“Hao iyun!?”
Wu Huilan clearly recognized who was outside. She froze on the spot.
Hao iyun showing up in a place like this likely ant she was here for us.
At that thought, my heart leapt into my throat.
I wanted to hold back, but that feeling of comfort had reached its peak—it wasn’t sothing I could control even if I wanted to.
And just like that, without any restraint, I released everything onto her, leaving a glaringly white ss.
Wu Huilan didn’t have ti to be angry. She quickly turned on the shower and started rinsing the both of us, paying extra attention to cleaning down below.
“Xu Tian, hurry! That crazy woman is definitely here for us. She probably doesn’t know which room we’re in. She must have knocked on the wrong one earlier and got scolded.”
“If she catches us, we’re done for. By then, the entire beauty salon will be talking about it.”
Even in such an urgent situation, she still took a quick mont to clean herself before hastily putting on her clothes and leaving.
Just as we stepped out of the bathroom, footsteps stopped right outside the door.
Then, a series of rapid knocks sounded.
“Wu, don’t think staying silent will make this go away!”
“I know you’re inside. Xu Tian’s in there too, isn’t he? Open the door, or I’m coming in!”
Hao iyun’s smug voice rang out from outside the door.
Wu Huilan and I exchanged a glance, both frozen, unsure of what to do.
It’s over. We’re trapped inside.
Knowing Hao iyun like I do, she wouldn’t leave so easily.
What should we do?
Letting her in now would make the situation utterly inescapable.
“Knock, knock…”
“Wu, open the door!!!”
Hao iyun kept pounding on the door, her voice growing louder, making us even more anxious.
“Xu Tian, if you’re really a man, open the door. Stop hiding like a coward!”
“Wu, maybe you don’t know this, but Xu Tian is mine. I told him to approach you on purpose. Tsk tsk… You fell for it so easily though. How disappointing.”
Just then, Hao iyun’s mocking laughter ca from outside.
Hearing her words, my heart tightened. This was bad.
The cunning, sinister woman had co up with such a spiteful plan.
“President Wu, don’t believe her!”
Seeing the suspicious look on Wu Huilan’s face, I panicked even more and scrambled to explain.
“President Wu, you know Hao iyun. She’s the type who—”
Wu Huilan’s wary expression only grew, and she stepped back constantly, with a hint of anger on her face.
“President Wu, I’m not that kind of person.”
Seeing her reaction, I anxiously tried to explain, worried she’d misunderstand.
“How could I have been so foolish? Why didn’t I realize you had ulterior motives?”
“You’ve been hanging around the gym every day, just waiting for , deliberately getting close to , haven’t you?”
Wu Huilan’s tone grew colder and colder.
“I…”
I was stunned. I opened my mouth but couldn’t think of how to respond.
Seeing at a loss for words, Wu Huilan took it as confirmation that she was right. The anger in her eyes intensified, soon giving way to disappointnt and bitterness.
She had trusted completely, which is why she’d brought here and let her guard down entirely around .
But now she realized I had approached her with an agenda, intentionally getting close to her.
How could she not despair?
“Xu Tian, your mission is complete. Open the door.”
“I’ll properly reward you later.”
Outside, Hao iyun continued to stir the pot.
“President Wu, there’s really nothing between and Hao iyun.” I forced a bitter smile as I spoke.
Even though such an explanation sounded weak, I had no choice but to say it.
“So did you or did you not intentionally get close to ?” Wu Huilan’s eyes reddened as she stared at , her teeth clenched so tightly they audibly ground against each other.
I took a deep breath and nodded silently.
“Yes, I did deliberately get close to you.”
At this point, I could only confess.
At my words, Wu Huilan’s body swayed, tears welled up in her eyes, and she collapsed onto the sofa in despair…
