Chapter 427: Zheng Yanyan Feeling Wronged

Zheng Yanyan was not with Shen Yu?Now, Zhou Yuwen was somewhat worried. He made another phone call to Su Qing, asking if she knew where Zheng Yanyan had gone.

"I do not know either. She left aggressively this morning, seemingly to look for Lu Lin. By the way, Zhou Yuwen, are you still coming back to Lanting tonight?" Su Qing did not care at all where Zheng Yanyan went.

She wondered, 'Zhou Yuwen has kept Lu Lin company for an entire night, so shouldn't it be my turn next?'

Zhou Yuwen, however, was speechless upon hearing this. "Older sister, she has gone missing. Are you not worried in the slightest?"

"She is a grown woman. What is there to be worried about?" Su Qing replied indifferently.

Zhou Yuwen chatted with Su Qing for a few more sentences before saying he would go ask Lu Lin, and then hung up the phone call.

At this moment, Lu Lin was right there with Zheng Yanyan. Zhou Yuwen's phone call came at the perfect time, his tone clearly laced with worry for Zheng Yanyan.

Lu Lin then asked, "You are still thinking about her?"

"Isn't that nonsense? Yan Yan is my girlfriend. She is practically missing, how could I not think about her?" Normally, Zhou Yuwen would never speak to Lu Lin like this. The main reason was that he was genuinely worried right now, and furthermore, he felt that Lu Lin was not the type of woman to ask such jealous questions. Unable to hold back, his tone became a bit louder.

Listening from the side and hearing Zhou Yuwen actually lose his temper at Lu Lin for her sake, Zheng Yanyan was deeply moved. She opened her mouth, wanting to speak to him, but was stopped by Lu Lin.

Lu Lin said to Zhou Yuwen, "I know where Yan Yan is. Come back and we will talk."

After saying this, Lu Lin directly hung up the phone call. Zhou Yuwen was indeed somewhat displeased at this moment. In his impression, Lu Lin was a girl with a good sense of propriety. How come she was showing her true colors right after driving Zheng Yanyan away?

This was definitely not the kind of Lu Lin that Zhou Yuwen liked.

Curious inwardly, Zhou Yuwen did not say anything else. Knowing that Zheng Yanyan was currently nowhere to be found, he was truly quite worried. After parking the car, he hurried upstairs.

Opening the door, he saw Lu Lin sitting on the sofa.

At this moment, Lu Lin was wearing the matching outfits she had bought with Zheng Yanyan previously—that small black camisole paired with a tight skirt of the same color. Zheng Yanyan also had this set of clothes in completely red. They were very suited for this kind of attire, which accentuated their slender waists and long legs.

However, Zhou Yuwen had no mood to appreciate Lu Lin's outfit right now. The moment he entered, he just said, "Yan Yan is still missing. Get ready, if worst comes to worst, we should just go to the police."

Throughout the whole process, Zhou Yuwen did not spare Lu Lin a second glance.

Hearing this, Lu Lin could not help but smile. She asked, "Is Yan Yan that important in your heart?"

"..."

This remark made Zhou Yuwen somewhat dissatisfied, and he shot Lu Lin a glance.

But after thinking for a moment, he still said, "I have already made some things clear to you long ago. Whether it is Yan Yan or you, both are equally important in my heart. I know that I might not have any more involvement with Yan Yan in the future, but her place in my heart will not change."

"She is a good girl, it is me who is not worthy of her."

"Since she chose to be with me, I will take responsibility for her to the very end. Alright, say no more. It is a bit cold outside. Change your clothes and we will go to the police."

Hearing Zhou Yuwen's words, Lu Lin could not help but smile sweetly. She suggested, "Why are you in such a rush to call the police? How long has she even been missing? Maybe she went to look for Chang Hao. You should make a phone call to Chang Hao and ask."

Zheng Yanyan, who was originally hiding in the bedroom and feeling very moved by Zhou Yuwen's sincere confession, suddenly became anxious upon hearing Lu Lin's words. She quickly ran out, "Linlin, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?! I have no relationship with Chang Hao. How could I possibly go look for him!"

At this time, Zheng Yanyan was certainly wearing the matching outfits with Lu Lin, which was that red camisole and tight skirt.

Seeing Zheng Yanyan walk out of the room, Zhou Yuwen was truly stunned for a moment.

Noticing Zhou Yuwen's daze, Zheng Yanyan also lowered her head in embarrassment. Her main reason for feeling embarrassed was because she had just thrown out harsh words last night, declaring they would never contact each other again, only to run over to someone else's house the very next day and refuse to leave. Anyone would feel embarrassed by this.

Therefore, thinking about everything that happened last night, Zheng Yanyan did not know how to face Zhou Yuwen. With her head down, she played with her fingers for a long time, her face burning with shyness as she muttered, "It was all Linlin's idea. I-I do not know anything."

After saying this, she immediately ran back into the bedroom, specifically making sure to close the door behind her.

Witnessing this scene, Zhou Yuwen found it completely unfathomable. He looked at Lu Lin in disbelief, his expression seemingly asking her what exactly was going on.

At this moment, however, Lu Lin acted as if she was taking a leisurely stroll in the park. She chuckled lightly and said, "Your performance just now was very clear."

"If I really made you lose Yan Yan, would you ever be able to forgive me in the future?"

After saying this, Lu Lin sat back down, crossing her legs.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen offered a wry smile as he walked over. He wrapped his arms around Lu Lin's slender waist and kissed her cheek repeatedly. "I made it very clear just now," Zhou Yuwen said. "Yan Yan is important, and you are equally important. Both the palms and backs of my hands are flesh; I do not want to lose either of you."

"I really thought there was no future with Yan Yan anymore, so feeling sad was inevitable. I just did not expect you to give me such a big surprise."

As he spoke, Zhou Yuwen picked up Lu Lin's hand and kissed it again.

Lu Lin replied, "It cannot really be considered a surprise from me. Truthfully, when it comes down to it, Yan Yan still has you in her heart."

Earlier today, Lu Lin had received two slaps from Zheng Yanyan. It was unnoticeable without a close look, but now that he was near, Zhou Yuwen spotted the clues. Naturally, he also recognized Lu Lin's painstaking efforts. Taking her hand, he said very earnestly, "Of course I know Yan Yan has me in her heart. But I also know that if it were not for your magnanimity, Yan Yan would not be here tonight. Linlin, I know perfectly well how good you are to me."

"Really, thank you."

Zhou Yuwen spoke with such sincerity that it made Lu Lin feel a bit awkward. She said, "Alright, the fact that you could stand by my side last night already explains everything. Besides, I am not the type to be jealous. Right now, your main priority should be to coax the one inside."

Seeing how understanding Lu Lin was, Zhou Yuwen smiled genuinely. He did not say much more, merely asking, "Then I will go?"

Lu Lin responded by nodding in agreement.

And so, Zhou Yuwen walked into the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Zheng Yanyan, who was sitting on the bed, had actually been waiting for Zhou Yuwen the whole time. Now, hearing the movements outside, she immediately started acting coy again.

Turning her back, she left only a beautiful silhouette for Zhou Yuwen, sitting there alone as one person, playing with her hair.

Seeing Zheng Yanyan putting on a demure or coy demeanor like a maiden stepping into a bridal sedan chair for the first time, Zhou Yuwen could not help but laugh inwardly.

He closed the door and wrapped his arms around Zheng Yanyan's slender waist from behind. Having spent the entire day at home with Lu Lin, Zheng Yanyan had clearly taken a shower, and her hair smelled fragrant.

Zhou Yuwen buried his face in Zheng Yanyan's hair and took a deep breath. Smiling, he asked, "What are you busy with? You will not even turn around to look at your hubby."

Zheng Yanyan pouted her lips. "What hubby? I certainly do not have a hubby."

Zhou Yuwen sighed. Since Zheng Yanyan was simply unwilling to turn her head, he rested his head on her shoulder and began kissing her neck. He murmured, "Yan Yan, I know I let you down. Not only did I betray you, but I also took away your best sister. I am not a good person. Really. Sometimes, I even want to give myself two slaps."

Zheng Yanyan indeed felt wronged in her heart, but as long as she did not voice it out, she could still hold it in. However, the moment Zhou Yuwen spoke of this grievance, she could no longer hold back. Her nose instantly tingled, and tears spilled out uncontrollably.

Compared to Zhou Yuwen's hypocritical self-blame, even claiming he wanted to give himself two slaps, Zheng Yanyan directly stopped him from doing so. Sobbing, she said, "Zhou Yuwen, do you know? I do not blame you for being with Linlin behind my back, and I do not blame you for having other women. Do you know what I hate the most about you?"

Zheng Yanyan was truly crying now, and she had never cried while feeling this wronged before. Her eye sockets turned red; she had genuinely suffered an immense grievance.

This made Zhou Yuwen feel somewhat puzzled. He had always felt that his biggest flaw was being a womanizer.

If Zheng Yanyan could accept this shortcoming of his...

Logically speaking, he should not have any other flaws left.

How could there still be another flaw?

"What is it?" Zhou Yuwen asked curiously.

Wiping her tears, Zheng Yanyan replied, "The thing I hate most about you is that, no matter what we are arguing about, whether you are in the wrong or I am, in the end, you always make me be the one to seek you out first."

"You have never, not even once, proactively come to me to admit your mistakes."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yanyan continued to wipe away her tears. However, these tears were also shed because, for the entirety of last night and even throughout the whole day today, Zhou Yuwen had not sent her a single message.

Crying, she said, "You clearly have me in your heart, so why are you so unwilling to take the initiative to look for me just once?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuwen could not help but smile.

Zheng Yanyan's words left Zhou Yuwen temporarily at a loss for how to answer, because the truth was that he had been busy all day and had not thought about Zheng Yanyan at all.

It was only during the final stretch of his drive home that she finally crossed his mind.

Seeing Zheng Yanyan staring at him so eagerly and pitifully, Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment and explained, "The main reason is that I do not dare to go looking for you. I know what kind of person I am. As you have seen, behind your back, I am with Linlin, and also..."

Zhou Yuwen did not know how to say the rest.

Zheng Yanyan simply continued to stare at Zhou Yuwen. Obviously, she also understood what he meant.

"Sigh, Yan Yan, I am really not a good person. I know that rather than being with me, any other boyfriend you could find would be better than me."

"Therefore, while you are with me, I will spare no effort in treating you well."

"But if you want to leave, I have no reason to stop you."

"I cannot selfishly ask you to stay and be my girlfriend alongside other girls, right?"

"I feel like that would be deeply disrespectful to you."

Zhou Yuwen declared.

"Liar!" However, at this moment, Zheng Yanyan, who was crying very sadly, immediately rejected Zhou Yuwen's words.

Pouting her lips, she accused, "You are just bullying me! You know that I cannot leave you, so you intentionally torment me, making me take the initiative to beg you."

Zhou Yuwen cried foul. Gathering Zheng Yanyan, who had already cried herself into a tearful mess, into his arms, he exclaimed, "You are so adorable, I cannot even love you enough! How could I possibly bully you!"

"I genuinely could not bear to hurt you. Linlin and I had actually gotten together a long time ago. It was truly because we were afraid of hurting you that we kept it hidden from you all this time. Several times, when Linlin and I were together, we both felt incredibly sorry toward you."

Catching the implication in Zhou Yuwen's words, Zheng Yanyan asked in a muffled voice, "Oh, so while the two of you were sleeping together, you still felt sorry for me after you finished?"

"..."

Zhou Yuwen did not know what to say for a moment.

But Zheng Yanyan suddenly emboldened herself at this moment, lunging directly at Zhou Yuwen and biting down hard on his neck.

"Hiss—" It did sting a little, but Zhou Yuwen held back his reaction. He just hugged Zheng Yanyan without uttering a word.

Initially, Zheng Yanyan was biting him fiercely, but after seeing that Zhou Yuwen remained silent, her heart ached for him. She loosened her small teeth and stared faintly at him with her large eyes, asking, "Does it hurt?"

Zhou Yuwen just smiled at her and shook his head. "It does not hurt. I deserved that bite."

"Hmph!"

Lying in Zhou Yuwen's embrace, Zheng Yanyan traced circles on his chest as she murmured, "I feel like Shen Yu was wrong too. You still have me in your heart."

Zhou Yuwen inquired, "What did she say?" Zheng Yanyan then explained that Shen Yu had claimed he did not love her.

"Shen Yu told Su Qing and me, 'The reason he does not come looking for you is because he never lacks women by his side. He does not love anyone; he only loves himself.'"

"Now I think she was wrong. At the very least, I know now that you still care about me, and that if I leave you, you will still be sad." As Zheng Yanyan spoke, she lay prone happily in Zhou Yuwen's embrace.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen could not help but laugh. He felt that there was some truth to what Shen Yu had said, yet it was indeed incorrect. Because whether it was Zheng Yanyan, Lu Lin, or even Su Qing, they were all inseparable parts of his life.

Holding Zheng Yanyan tightly, Zhou Yuwen planted a kiss on her cheek and advised, "Do not listen to the nonsense of outsiders anymore. Linlin is your true sister, understand?"

"Oh my, I know~" Zheng Yanyan immediately acted coquettishly. Then, looking at the bite mark she had left on Zhou Yuwen's neck, she could not help but remark, "Hubby, it's all red now."

Zhou Yuwen chuckled lightly, reassuring her that it was nothing.

"As long as your anger has faded, it is fine."

"Hmph, you really got off cheap! Now Linlin and I will have to serve you together in the future!" Zheng Yanyan rolled her eyes as she said this.

Zhou Yuwen chuckled, "Well, if you are unwilling, it is not like I can force you."

"We will see~" Zheng Yanyan neither agreed nor refused.

Zhou Yuwen pondered for a moment before simply reaching out and touching Zheng Yanyan's thighs. He murmured, "Let's put everything else aside for now and satisfy you once first, baby."

"Ah, but Linlin is still outside."

"It does not matter. It is not our first time, anyway."
