Before Chen Xuan could reply, Yang Leshan went upstairs to take a shower.

Chen Xuan lit a cigarette and smoked silently. He felt that he couldn't let things continue like this. He had to find a time to talk to Lin Wanxi alone.

If Yang Leshan really got involved, he didn't know what to do.

The second floor had only one bedroom in total. If Yang Leshan insisted on staying over, they definitely couldn't share the same room.

Chen Xuan could only make do with a night on the couch in the living room.

The bedroom was thus occupied by Yang Leshan.

However, lying in bed, Yang Leshan was not sleepy at all. The reason she insisted on spending the night here was to deliberately create an opportunity for Chen Xuan.

Being alone with a man in such a situation can easily lead to a spark that turns into a fait accompli.

But Chen Xuan was too composed, showing no intention of taking advantage of the situation.

This left Yang Leshan with complex emotions, confirming Chen Xuan's character, that he wasn't a man driven by lust.

Yet it inexplicably gave rise to a sense of inferiority in her.

Could it be that she really was no match for Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi?

Why was Chen Xuan so indifferent towards her!

Tossing and turning, she couldn't fall asleep at all.

About half an hour later, Yang Leshan couldn't hold it in anymore and got up to the living room.

As it happened, Chen Xuan was also awake, and seeing Yang Leshan come out, he immediately turned over and sat up.

"Didn't you say you were exhausted? Why aren't you asleep yet?" Chen Xuan asked, looking at her in bewilderment.

Yang Leshan sat across from him, her eyes filled with resentment, "Chen Xuan, I can't sleep, I feel stifled inside."

"Why won't you accept me? Is it just because I targeted you at first, making you dislike me and unwilling to give me a chance?"

Chen Xuan shook his head and laughed, since they were on the topic, he might as well have a proper conversation with Yang Leshan.

Lighting up another cigarette, he spoke softly, "Leshan, you're overthinking it, I don't feel that way."

"Then what do you mean? What about me do you think isn't good enough? Just tell me directly, I can change, can't I?" Yang Leshan looked at him, feeling wronged.

Chen Xuan shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with you, and you don't need to change for anyone."

"What exactly is your opinion of me? I want to hear your honest thoughts." Yang Leshan pressed him with a fierce determination to get to the bottom of this.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Xuan said, "To say I have no feelings for you at all would be lying."

"Your hourglass figure and pretty face are a deadly temptation to any man; I'm no exception."

"But I'm a man of principles. Just because I like to look at beautiful women doesn't mean I have to possess them."

Yang Leshan smiled, "Yes, I know you're not the kind of scumbag who toys with girls' feelings! It fully proves that you're a man of high moral character."

Hehehe...

Chen Xuan laughed, "There's no need to praise me so much. I've already told you, I don't claim to be a good man."

"If I were truly an exemplary man, I wouldn't have two women while still being married."

"Chen Xuan, I've already told you, I don't care how many women you have. I just can't let you go."

Yang Leshan's eyes were eager, "You can take responsibility for both of them. Why can't you include me too? Where exactly am I lacking compared to them?"

Chen Xuan spoke solemnly, "Leshan, I'm doing this for your own good. There are many things you don't understand, and for now, I can't tell you clearly."

"Take Su Linlang, for instance; she's understanding, and being with her feels easy. She's more like a soulmate to me. Do you understand?"

"What about Xiao Yiyi, Wanxi's cousin? What kind of feelings do you have for her?" Yang Leshan inquired.

Chen Xuan took a drag on his cigarette and said slowly, "Xiao Yiyi and I have shared life and death trials. Can you imagine a frail girl carrying me for several kilometers over mountain paths?"

"She even risked her life to save me, so I feel more gratitude towards her."

Yang Leshan fell silent, "I understand now. It's still because I haven't given as much to you, not nearly as much as the two of them have."

"But Chen Xuan, let me tell you clearly, my love for you is no less than theirs! Whatever they can do, so can I!"

"As long as you don't dislike me, I'll work hard to prove myself! I firmly believe that sincerity can move hearts!"

With that, Yang Leshan turned around and walked back to the bedroom, not giving him time to reply.

Chen Xuan held a cigarette between his fingers, standing dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Yang Leshan to have such deep feelings for him.

He sighed helplessly, knowing yet another melodramatic love triangle was about to unfold.

And it involved Lin Wanxi, whose best friend was also going to fight her for her husband. He wondered what she would think.

He pondered how things might evolve, whether it would lead to a complete breakdown in relationships and a loss of control...
