Li Wanji listened to Yan Yuhe's accusations word by word and knew that he was not unable to accept that she had been involved with other men, but that he could not accept that she had never treated him sincerely.
But she tried every means to conceal the affair between herself and Canglanzi. Not only was she worried about getting into trouble, she also didn't want to hurt Yan Yuhe and embarrass both of them.
However, it now seems that his concealment has become a thorn in his heart that is difficult to remove.
She felt a pain in her heart and took two steps forward, hugging Yan Yuhe's waist tightly.
"Yuhe, I admit that I did approach you with a purpose. But my feelings for you are by no means false. I know that nothing I say now will help, but I really want to make it up to you."
Yan Yuhe's body stiffened for a moment in Li Wanji's hug. He did not push her away, but he did not respond to her hug either.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his heart.
"Wan Ji, is this what you are doing to me? " He chuckled, but his handsome face was tinged with sadness.
"Yuhe, it's not like that..." Li Wanji hurriedly explained. She didn't want Yan Yuhe to misunderstand her feelings.
"What does that look like?" Yan Yuhe didn't wait for her to finish her words. He turned around, held Li Wanji's shoulders with both hands, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
The scent of the pearl cream on her body wafted into Yan Yuhe's nose, and he frowned slightly. He was very familiar with this scent because he had specially mixed it for Li Wanji.
When applied on her snow-white skin, it exudes a unique fragrance, like a deep-sea orchid, elegant and long-lasting.
This was his favorite smell in the past, but now it seemed particularly pungent.
He suddenly remembered that one morning before, he went to Yan Yuheng's bedroom to discuss matters, but unexpectedly smelled this fragrance.
He was confused at the time, but he didn't think much about it and just thought it was a coincidence.
Now it seems that there had been signs of the affair between Li Wanji and Yan Yuheng for a long time, but he had been kept in the dark and had never noticed.
He felt a dull pain in his heart, as if he was betrayed by the person he trusted the most. The feeling was more painful than a knife.
"It turns out that you have been secretly doing this for a long time."
He slightly opened his eyes, which had turned from dark blue to blood red, and looked at Li Wanji. Then, he lowered his eyes quietly and weakly. His voice was transparent, but full of sadness and bitterness.
"The woman on his bed that day was you, right?"
Li Wanji's face turned pale when she was asked by Yan Yuhe. She bit her lips and dared not look him in the eyes.
"Yes, that was me. I can explain to you what happened between him and me. Yuhe, are you willing to believe me?"
After hearing this, Yan Yuhe lowered his narrow eyes. He was silent for a long time, as if trying to digest this fact.
"Do you want me to hear what you have to say? About your romantic affair? Or how you betrayed me and threw yourself into his arms?" Yan Yuhe's voice was as cold as the winter wind, biting and chilling.
"That coquettish Yan Yuheng even told me that he caught a cunning 'fox' and is training her. You two are really having fun, and you are not ashamed at all!"
When such jealous and sarcastic words came out of his mouth, Li Wanji actually laughed out loud.
Thinking back to that day, Canglanzi had said such obscene words. Now that Yan Yuhe repeated them, she felt embarrassed but also found them a little funny.
Yan Yuhe was a little stunned by her sudden laughter. He frowned and looked at her in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
Li Wanji's laughter gradually subsided. She raised her head, looked at Yan Yuhe, and said calmly: "Yuhe, do you love me?"
She remembered that this was the second time she asked him this question.
The first time was when they were arguing about her past love affairs, and Yan Yuhe's answer to her was that he didn't love her, which was very straightforward.
And this time, she didn't know how Yan Yuhe would answer.
Yan Yuhe obviously didn't expect Li Wanji to ask this suddenly. He was slightly stunned, then looked away without answering.
His silence was within Li Wanji's expectations. She understood that their relationship was purely based on interests from the beginning to the end. Even if they developed feelings later, interests came first and feelings came second.
They are the same type of people, and Li Wanji knows very well that Yan Yuhe's outburst is just a manifestation of possessiveness, not love.
She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Yuhe, if you don't love me, why bother with all this trouble?"
"Our cooperation is for our own benefit. I understand your feelings and I have heard you venting until now. Can you calm down and listen to me explain something?"
Yan Yuhe's eyes were still red, and he pursed his lips tightly, as if trying hard to suppress his inner anger and unwillingness.
He looked at Li Wanji deeply, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
He knew that his feelings for Li Wanji were indeed mixed with too many considerations of self-interest, but he could not deny that he did have special feelings for her.
He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "Go ahead and I'll listen."
Li Wanji breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that she had to be honest with him in order to resolve this crisis.
"What happened between me and the master was really an accident. I was drunk that night, and I originally intended to find you and awaken your bloodline, but I mistakenly entered his bedroom, which led to the ridiculous things that happened later."
Yan Yuhe listened to Li Wanji's explanation, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He looked at her serious expression and knew that she was not lying.
But he was puzzled, so he asked: "Since you knew it was a false love affair, why did you still want to get entangled with him? You two even went to the Mermaid Temple to sign a covenant?"
"If it weren't for this agreement, I wouldn't have known that my good brother and you, Wan Ji, had been secretly in love for a long time!"
When Yan Yuhe thought about this, he felt annoyed. He still couldn't believe that Li Wanji would actually be with Canglanzi.
It turned out that it was the heart-to-heart contract that exposed the relationship between Li Wanji and Canglanzi!
She was also wondering why Yan Yuhe suddenly knew about this, it turned out to be because of their mutual understanding.
Li Wanji smiled bitterly in her heart. She should have thought of it earlier. As the leader of the mermaid tribe, Yan Yuhe must be well aware of the secret techniques of the mermaid tribe.
As one of the secret techniques of the mermaids, he could naturally sense the abnormality in it.
Canglanzi must also know that once they have concluded a covenant, Yan Yuhe and the elders of the mermaid tribe will feel it.
But he still did it. I think he did it on purpose. He had no intention of hiding it from Yan Yuhe from the beginning. It is even possible that he deliberately wanted to provoke Yan Yuhe in this way.
Why did he do this?
She was like a clown, trying her best to hide it from Yan Yuhe all day long, but she didn't expect that Canglanzi was the one who really controlled the overall situation.
At that time, she was secretly happy that she had managed to stabilize Canglanzi, but she never thought that his pretending to be obedient in front of her was just a facade to confuse her.
Now that I think about it, that guy must have felt it was really ridiculous when he saw me jumping up and down in front of him like a monkey!
