355: Didn't hide anything

On the other side, after leaving Yu Bao Xuan, Chen Xinyi didn't chatter away with Ye Su in the car as she usually did along the way, as if she had something on her mind.

Even if Ye Su's reactions were slow, he could already feel that something wasn't quite right at this moment.

Logically speaking, after knowing Yan Ran's identity at Joyful Gathering, Chen Xinyi shouldn't have insisted on inviting her to dinner repeatedly.

Thinking back to Chen Xinyi's behavior during the meal, as well as her silence now, Ye Su immediately had an ominous premonition.

"It's over, could it be that the cheating was discovered?"

"No way!"

"I've only been cheating for a few days, how could I have been discovered already!"

"If it really were to be exposed, it should at least wait for a while!"

I've only been with Yan Ran for four days, and this afternoon was their first meeting, yet Chen Xinyi already discovered the trickery; this is too embarrassing for the [scumbag circle]!

With a restless heart, Ye Su drove the car into the apartment complex's underground parking garage, then helped Chen Xinyi carry everything they bought that afternoon upstairs.

After entering, Chen Xinyi didn't excitedly take out the things they bought that afternoon to try them on one by one as she usually did, but instead sat alone on the edge of the sofa.

Seeing this, Ye Su had no choice but to sit next to Chen Xinyi, while simultaneously brewing in his heart what to say to break the strange atmosphere in the room.

But before he could speak, Chen Xinyi took the first step, asking in a flat tone:

"Are you and Yan Ran really just ordinary friends?"

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Su looked at Chen Xinyi in astonishment, meeting her gaze as she looked over as well.

Thinking that Chen Xinyi was just saying it casually, or simply trying to bluff him, Ye Su originally wanted to continue deflecting, but Chen Xinyi said another sentence:

"I will only ask you this once, anyway, I will believe whatever you say."

Once these words were out, Ye Su was certain that Chen Xinyi had discovered the relationship between him and Yan Ran.

Coupled with the look in Chen Xinyi's eyes as she looked at him, which carried a bit of grievance, Ye Su felt too embarrassed to continue lying to her, so he had to ask timidly:

"Did you find out?"

This one sentence was equivalent to admitting his relationship with Yan Ran to Chen Xinyi.

"Mm." Chen Xinyi nodded silently: "I'm not a fool, how could I not have discovered it..."

"Mm..." Ye Su didn't know how to answer, so he could only ask back: "When did you find out?"

"For the past few nights while sleeping, I've smelled a fragrance on you that is different from the shampoo and body wash we use at home, which means you've been showering outside for the past few days.

In this situation, unless you signed up for a gym membership and showered at the gym after working out every day, that would make sense, but no matter how I look at it, you don't seem like the type to go to the gym every day."

"Ah!" Ye Su opened his mouth wide in a daze.

He thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't expect that Chen Xinyi had already sensed something wrong after the first time he had relations with Yan Ran.

At this moment, Ye Su suddenly remembered that once before, when he went to eat at Li Mengyao's house, because he got a bit of Li Mengyao's perfume scent on him, Chen Xinyi had sensed something wrong after he returned.

He had forgotten how sensitive she was to the scents on him, which is why he used her body wash directly when showering with Yan Ran.

Ye Su exclaimed inwardly: I was careless!

"Then how did you know it was Sister Ran's? Today should be the first time you two met, right?"

Chen Xinyi puffed out her cheeks and looked at Ye Su: "What do you mean, how did it become you asking me questions?"

"Uh, no, I just..."

It was rare to see Ye Su speechless; usually, Chen Xinyi would have been laughing uncontrollably by now.

But at this moment, her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and she didn't know how to laugh even if she wanted to:

"When I met Yan Ran this afternoon, I felt that the way she looked at you wasn't quite right. Later, when I got close to her, I smelled the scent on her, which was the same as the scent you've been carrying these past few days, so I basically confirmed that you were showering at her place.

Afterwards, she invited us to dinner and arrived at the private room first to order dishes. Even though you aren't very picky, the dishes she ordered in advance happened to be all the things you love to eat. You tell me, how could there be such a coincidence."

The look in Chen Xinyi's eyes as she looked at Ye Su was self-explanatory: "Even if I were slow, by this time, I should have realized that you two were up to no good, right?"

"So that's how it was..."

At this moment, Ye Su finally realized and understood how Chen Xinyi had discovered his relationship with Yan Ran.

It seems that when it comes to emotional matters, a woman's IQ can skyrocket, automatically turning into Sherlock Holmes, discovering something wrong with just a few clues!

Cheating one moment, and being discovered the next, I must be the most unsuccessful scumbag!

"Sigh..."

Seeing Ye Su's silent appearance, Chen Xinyi sighed:

"Women are somewhat more sensitive to the scents of perfume, body wash, and the like than you men. You didn't even know to switch to a bottle of body wash that's the same as the one at home, or take another shower after coming back."

Ye Su looked at Chen Xinyi in astonishment: "No, this sounds like you're teaching me how to hide it from you next time. Is this right?"

Chen Xinyi lowered her eyes desolately: "Since you want to hide it from me, then I can only tell you how to hide it, so that I won't discover it again in the future..."

Even if Ye Su had no conscience, seeing Chen Xinyi still thinking about him at this moment, his conscience still hurt a little:

"Actually, I didn't plan to hide it from you forever; I also wanted to find an opportunity to confess to you."

Ye Su wasn't deceiving Chen Xinyi with these words.

He had indeed thought about confessing his relationship with Yan Ran to Chen Xinyi when the right time came.

If Chen Xinyi couldn't accept it after knowing and wanted to break up with him, Ye Su would move back to the apartment he rented and leave this apartment for Chen Xinyi to live in.

So that she wouldn't end up having to move to a hotel overnight in a sorry state after breaking up, like what is said on the internet.

Upon hearing Ye Su say he would find an opportunity to tell her, Chen Xinyi immediately turned over and looked straight at Ye Su: "For example, when?"

"Uh..." Ye Su looked at the shopping bags on the coffee table: "For example, after knowing what secret Victoria actually has?"

She knew Ye Su was abstract, but Chen Xinyi never expected to wait for such an answer.

Unable to answer Ye Su with words, Chen Xinyi could only half-close her eyes, giving Ye Su a speechless eye roll.

After rolling her eyes, Chen Xinyi asked the question she had been wanting to ask Ye Su ever since she saw Yan Ran:

"So between the two of us, did you choose Yan Ran?"

Ye Su hurriedly shook his head to deny: "Of course not!"

Hearing this, Chen Xinyi's eyes revealed hope: "Then are you choosing me, and giving up Yan Ran, this new girlfriend who is beautiful, has a great figure, and is so rich?"

"Mm... not that either." Ye Su, prioritizing being shameless, spoke the truth:

"Actually, I wanted to keep both..."
