Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 687: Chapter 239 Bai Weixi’s Compromise, Experiencing Double the Joy_2

Xu Zhi’s gaze gradually became firm as he spoke. "Yuchen, just as Yuan said, I don’t want to continue this ambiguous relationship. It’s come to a standstill. After tonight, you can blame me if you want. I love you, and I will always love you!"

After saying this, Xu Zhi leaned in...

「On the other side, at Villa Number 16 in the Xinghe Bay community.」

When Bai Weixi heard Li Yuan’s answer, her expression froze. Pushing through the haze of alcohol, she seriously observed the detached villa in front of her.

If the four-bedroom apartment at Emerald Mansion fulfilled all her fantasies about big-city living, then this three-story villa completely shattered her imagination. This was Modu, an international metropolis and the place with the highest housing prices in the country. The Emerald Mansion complex she was currently living in already had prices soaring to ten or twenty thousand yuan per square meter. This villa, however, was located on the banks of the Huangpu River, adjacent to the city center. Its location was even better, so the price would certainly be much higher—at least in the tens of millions... So, where did Li Yuan get so much money? And when did he buy this villa?

A multitude of doubts suddenly arose in Bai Weixi’s heart.

Zhong Tingyue leaned on Li Yuan, looking at the villa. In a brief moment of clarity, she asked intermittently, "Senior, why... why are we... here?"

Li Yuan wrapped his arms around Zhong Tingyue’s slim waist, feigning drunkenness as he explained, "Uh, this place is close to the hotel. I had a bit too much to drink tonight, so I figured we’d just come here."

"Oh! This place... this place is so beautiful!" Zhong Tingyue stammered before leaning back into Li Yuan’s arms, her voice growing faint.

Seeing Bai Weixi spacing out, Li Yuan quickly urged her, "Bai, let’s go inside. I’m exhausted!"

"Oh! Okay!" Bai Weixi responded, following Li Yuan into the house, her mind still filled with questions.

This was also Li Yuan’s first time staying in the villa. For the past week or two, he had arranged for people to clean it and, together with Zhong Tingyue, had replaced and added many household items. It was now ready to be moved into at any time.

Upon entering the villa, Zhong Tingyue had no reaction; it seemed she had really drunk too much. But for Bai Weixi, it was her first visit. She fought off the influence of the alcohol, her feelings complex as she took in the luxurious interior.

Seeing Bai Weixi’s expression, Li Yuan felt a bit uneasy. She hadn’t drunk that much and didn’t seem truly intoxicated.

"The kitchen and living room are on the first floor. Our bedroom is on the second floor. Let’s head up."

When she heard the words "our bedroom," Bai Weixi gave Li Yuan a deep look, and the sadness in her heart instantly faded.

He still cares about me!

Supporting Zhong Tingyue, she followed him upstairs. Li Yuan pushed open the door to the master bedroom, which featured a custom-made, luxurious king-sized bed. It was three meters wide and had cost over 80,000 yuan by itself.

After helping Zhong Tingyue onto the bed and taking off her shoes, Li Yuan was about to cover her with the quilt when she woke up.

She stared at Li Yuan and Bai Weixi with bleary eyes and slurred, "Senior, I want... I want..."

Seeing Zhong Tingyue’s dazed eyes and hearing her suggestive words, Li Yuan felt a jolt. His expression turned slightly awkward. Just as he was about to try and soothe her, she finished her sentence.

"A bath!"

So she meant "I want to take a bath!"

Li Yuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He replied, "Alright, we’ll get you washed up! I’ll go draw the water first."

After speaking, he glanced at the somewhat reserved Bai Weixi, reached out, and pulled her into the bathroom.

Compared to the small bathrooms in Emerald Mansion or Jiangnan Garden, the one in this villa was incomparably larger. The bathroom alone was bigger than the living room of a typical three-bedroom apartment. It featured a huge bathtub that could easily accommodate two, or even three, people at once. There was also a magnificent, partitioned vanity separating the wet and dry areas, on which were arranged various cosmetics and skincare products from luxury brands.

Bai Weixi stared at the luxurious bathroom, her expression a bit blank. She suddenly recalled what Li Yuan had told her not long ago at Emerald Mansion: The bathroom was too small for the two of them to "play games," and he wanted to get a bigger house. At the time, she assumed he was just joking. She never expected that they would be moving in less than half a month later.

Li Yuan saw Bai Weixi spacing out again. He wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Bai, how about we take a bath first?"

Hearing Li Yuan’s words, Bai Weixi’s cheeks instantly turned crimson. She asked shyly, "Yuan, you want to bathe with me?"

Li Yuan gave a mischievous smile. "Yeah, this bathroom is big enough now! Hehe, much more convenient than at Emerald Mansion!"

As he spoke, he moved as if to pick her up.

Bai Weixi quickly dodged, pointing a finger toward the bedroom. "Tingyue is still here," she said shyly. "Let her wash up first!"

Li Yuan paused, then chuckled. "Alright. She’s had a bit too much to drink, so I’ll help her first. Do you want to join us?"

"You’re impossible!" Bai Weixi retorted playfully.

Bathing with Li Yuan was something she could accept; after all, their relationship had already reached that stage. But to bathe with her ’love rival,’ Zhong Tingyue... that was just too mortifying.

Li Yuan chuckled and pulled Bai Weixi into the adjacent bedroom.

This room was also enormous. Each floor of the villa spanned 200 square meters, which was larger than the entire floor space of their homes at either Jinxiu Villas or Jiangnan Garden.
