Chapter 29 – This Is Insane! The Man I Love Is Flying Double with My Bestie!

Su Yanyan had just taken off her sunglasses and sunhat.

The moment she saw Ye Fei’s handsome face— Her entire body froze!

Why is it Ye Fei?!

Why is Zheng Wanqing’s boyfriend Ye Fei?!

Oh my god, this is too insane!

Yes, Ye Fei and Su Yanyan knew each other from before.

To be exact, Ye Fei had already known Su Yanyan before he started dating Zheng Wanqing.

If memory served right, it was from quite some time ago.

Ye Fei’s family and Su Yanyan’s family used to be neighbors.

But later, her parents made money from business and the family moved downtown.

So the two families didn’t see each other anymore.

After all, they were no longer in the same social circle and had little in common.

Still, Ye Fei and Su Yanyan had a pretty close relationship privately.

In Ye Fei’s memory, Su Yanyan was like a big sister next door, always looking out for him.

The summer after high school, Su Yanyan kissed Ye Fei.

And she confessed her feelings to him!

But the next day, before Ye Fei could even reply—she transferred to Harvard in the U.S. to study.

For the next three years, she changed her phone number and deleted her WeChat and QQ accounts.

She wanted to focus on her studies in the U.S., using every bit of time outside classes to better herself.

She planned to return three years later as the best version of herself.

Then, she would confess to Ye Fei again!

Be with Ye Fei!

Become his girlfriend!

But she never expected that after three years, upon returning— The man she loved… had already flown away with her best friend!

Oh my god!

This is just too absurd!

Turns out, the clown is me! (xiǎo chǒu jìng shì wǒ zì jǐ) [1]

Su Yanyan couldn’t believe the reality in front of her.

How could this happen?

Shouldn’t there be some sense of who came first?!

“What’s wrong, Yanyan? You know my boyfriend?” Zheng Wanqing asked curiously.

“Uh, I… I don’t,” Su Yanyan replied.

Although Su Yanyan couldn’t quite accept the situation immediately, The person in front of her was her best friend since childhood.

She really didn’t want to ruin their relationship.

So she pretended she didn’t know Ye Fei.

Ye Fei also realized how awkward it was, so he didn’t expose her either.

He just played along.

“Hello, I’m Ye Fei, Wanqing’s boyfriend.”

“Nice to meet you!”

Su Yanyan shook hands with Ye Fei.

Right now, she truly regretted it.

Why was she such a coward back then?

Why didn’t she dare to be bold and take the initiative?

Instead, she ran away to the U.S.

And now, Ye Fei already had someone.

She no longer had a chance.

“Alright, let’s stop standing around like fools. I propose we go get some barbecue to celebrate Yanyan’s return!”

“Are you nuts? Who eats barbecue in broad daylight? A bar would be better for celebrating.”

“I know a bar. Open 24/7. Great vibes, and it’s not far from Wanqing’s school.”

“A bar? Works for me. You lead the way.”

“Okay, ladies, keep up! Big sis is taking you out for drinks tonight!”

Ye Fei had a bad feeling about this.

The bar she mentioned… probably was his very own Qingteng Bar.

Be confident—remove the probably. It IS Qingteng Bar!

Ten minutes later, Ye Fei and the group of girls arrived at the entrance of Qingteng Bar.

Fortunately, Ye Fei had already informed the manager, Sister Hong, in advance.

So there would be no repeat of last time.

Last night, if Sister Hong hadn’t reacted quickly, Ye Fei’s identity as the big boss of Qingteng Bar might’ve been exposed!

That would’ve blown the mission and cost him the reward.

“This is the place! Amazing atmosphere, great environment!”

“Come on, let’s go in!”

“We have to drink a few rounds to celebrate Yanyan’s return!”

After finding a table inside, the girls ordered a bunch of foreign liquor.

They filled their glasses.

Ye Fei said nothing and went to the bar to order a glass of milk.

“Here, sweetheart. Drink this.”

Zheng Wanqing nodded obediently. “Okay, hubby!”

The girls asked, “Wait, Wanqing, you’re not drinking at the bar?”

“Uh… sorry, I’m not feeling well lately.”

“Ah, I get it now. I was wondering why your boyfriend ordered milk. Turns out it’s for you.”

“Wow! Wanqing, your boyfriend is so thoughtful.”

“I’m seriously jealous. Such a caring boyfriend!”

“If it were my boyfriend, he’d never be this sweet!”

Seeing Ye Fei treating Zheng Wanqing so well made Su Yanyan feel deeply uncomfortable inside.

Ye Fei, of all people, why did you have to be with her—my best friend?!

How am I supposed to accept this?

Especially watching Zheng Wanqing, clueless about everything, sincerely celebrating her return— Su Yanyan felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.

After all, she had kissed Ye Fei before!

And confessed her love!

Even if that was before she knew Wanqing—

She still felt guilty!

By 9:30 that night, everyone headed home separately.

Su Yanyan, however, called Ye Fei out alone.

She had something she had to ask him.

Something very important!
