Chapter 92: Chapter 92: No Need to Hide It

Zhang Yan had never considered hiding his relationship with Xiaoyan from Chi Xinyue. After all, when he first entered her life, he had made it clear that he would have many women. However, when it came to who he should tell first, he had to make a choice. It was difficult to treat everyone perfectly equally; there always had to be a hierarchy of importance.

Chi Xinyue was a high-level partner of Love Overflows, while Xiaoyan was only a junior partner of Secretly in Love. Zhang Yan’s affection for the two also differed, so he was very clear in his mind about who carried more weight. As for how to broach the subject with his junior schoolmate, he decided it was best to get straight to the point.

Zhang Yan: "Baby, your best friend Xiaoyan seduced me these past few days. I couldn’t withstand the test and slept with her!"

Holding her phone, Chi Xinyue felt a bit conflicted. This moment had come at last. Yet, there was no anger or grievance in her heart. Instead, she felt a profound sense of relief, as if a heavy stone had finally been lifted off her chest.

Her father was just an ordinary man without much worldly experience, but he had taught his daughter a lifelong virtue—contentment brings happiness. Influenced by consumerism, Chi Xinyue had felt that although she gave her all, it was not equal to what Zhang Yan gave her. The value of an ordinary female college student might be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but it certainly wasn’t worth millions—especially when those millions could save her father’s life.

Even setting that aside, Zhang Yan’s provisions weren’t merely material; he fulfilled her emotionally as well. In every romantic and touching date, she could feel the thought and effort he had put in. And it wasn’t just that. In their time together, Zhang Yan always respected her feelings. Even though he could have claimed her body long ago, he still waited until the moment she willingly agreed, striving to ensure that all their beautiful moments were left without regrets.

All these signs indicated that Zhang Yan truly liked her and wasn’t just after her body, making him completely different from the boys who had pursued her in the past. A man who only wanted her body would only care about when he could take her to a hotel, and when the next time would be. He wouldn’t notice her slightest abnormality, nor would he secretly follow her, travel thousands of miles to her hometown, and personally step forward to shield her from every storm.

If Chi Xinyue, like other girls, had ever dreamed of "waiting for a peerless hero to come fetch her on seven-colored clouds," then Zhang Yan was, in every sense, the ideal man she had been waiting for. She was already very content and didn’t extravagantly ask for more. Now, Zhang Yan was the entirety of her future life.

It was just that she hadn’t quite expected the first "other woman" she learned about to be her best friend, someone she spent day and night with. After all, Xiaoyan’s first impression of Zhang Yan hadn’t been very good. When had that quietly changed?

Thinking of the joyful little moments she had frequently shared with her best friend recently, she found a few answers in her heart. However, knowing that Zhang Yan took the initiative to tell her about this immediately made her feel extremely gratified and satisfied. Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her mindset.

Seeing her reaction, Zhang Yan knew she wasn’t too angry or heartbroken. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, though only a small one. If possible, he hoped everyone could happily accept one another. For partners whose personalities clashed, keeping them apart would suffice. But someone like Xiaoyan, a best friend who was with Chi Xinyue day in and day out, was a little more troublesome.

Zhang Yan: "She probably didn’t expect me to tell you about this. You can mess with her a bit as a punishment."

Chi Xinyue understood Zhang Yan’s meaning: a small punishment was fine, but it was best not to blow things out of proportion. In truth, she wasn’t too resistant to the idea. Since there were always going to be "other women," someone familiar was better than a stranger. However, her best friend secretly seducing her boyfriend behind her back did warrant a minor punishment.

After pouring out some more longing and sweet words to Zhang Yan, they temporarily said their goodbyes. Shortly after, Chi Xinyue coincidentally received a WeChat message from her best friend. She thought for a moment, let out a playful hmph, and replied.

Lotus Pond New Moon: "Yanyan, I miss you to death! Everything is going smoothly on my father’s end. What about you? What have you been busy with? Are you seducing some handsome guy?"

This sudden remark made Xiaoyan’s heart skip a beat, but thankfully, her best friend was probably just making a routine joke.

Yanhua Xiaomeng: "No way! I’ve been practicing dancing these past few days. I’ve been working so hard that my legs have gone soft."

It was a half-truth, and sending it made Xiaoyan blush.

Lotus Pond New Moon: "Don’t deny it! I saw your Friends Circle. You actually went and got a boyfriend behind my back! Tell me, who is he?"

Yanhua Xiaomeng: "Hehe, I did a pretty good job keeping it a secret, right? Actually, we only confirmed our relationship recently. When you get back, I’ll find a chance to introduce you two."

Xiaoyan added in her mind, "And that will be the moment I completely win over senior Zhang Yan!"

Lotus Pond New Moon: "Is he as handsome as my senior Zhang Yan?"

Yanhua Xiaomeng: "Hehe, they’re on par with each other~"

Lotus Pond New Moon: "Then I’ll definitely have to take a good look when the time comes!"

Looking at her phone, a strange light gleamed in Xiaoyan’s eyes. The thrill, tinged with a slight sense of immorality, made her whole body buzz with excitement.

Her interest in Zhang Yan had, first and foremost, been sparked by his outrageous wealth. Seeing the life she had always dreamed of being easily obtained by her best friend, she had felt jealous and full of desire. Initially, she hadn’t wanted to steal her best friend’s boyfriend—or so she believed—otherwise, she wouldn’t have deceived herself at every turn, refusing to acknowledge the relationship between the two of them.

At first, Xiaoyan just wanted to flirt with him—just like she had teased countless simps in the past—to gain a bit of emotional superiority and some material "tributes." But the situation developed far beyond her expectations and control. Before she knew it, she had fallen completely into the trap, and Zhang Yan had conquered her completely in one fell swoop.

She thought, "You can’t blame me for this. It was your boyfriend who couldn’t control himself. I just helped you test him."

She came up with a lame excuse for herself, but a trace of guilt still rose in her heart.

Yanhua Xiaomeng: "I hope everything goes smoothly with your father’s illness. Come back soon, and I’ll treat you to a big meal!"

Lotus Pond New Moon: "Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? Tell me, did you secretly do something to wrong me?"

Yanhua Xiaomeng: "I offer you my good intentions, and you treat them like dirt! Fine, don’t eat then!"

Lotus Pond New Moon: "I’m just joking! We’re good sisters, how could I not trust you?"

Looking at her best friend’s "joking" words, Xiaoyan’s guilt deepened.

She thought, "Yuyu is such a simple and innocent girl. Have I gone too far...?"

However, after recalling the moments she had spent with Zhang Yan—especially after experiencing that addictive pleasure with him—she hardened her resolve.

She thought, "I’m sorry, but I really want to be with him..."
