Chapter 1397: A Hidden Secret
Li Chen was so mad that he laughed. “I’ve been waiting for you at your home for hours, and yet you are waiting here. Don’t you check your phone?”
“No battery.” Yun An did not bother speaking in a nice tone. He had received Li Chen’s phone call around 8 pm. Yet, his phone battery went flat the moment he picked it up as he had chatted with Shen Qianshu for too long.
Yun An was mad at the sight of him, but he held it in. Li Chen walked over. “Your stomach isn’t so well. Have you eaten anything?”
“I have!”
Just as he had answered, his stomach growled, making the entire situation really awkward.
Li Chen held in his laughter. “Let’s go in and talk.”
Yun An gave in to luck and followed Li Chen in. He had to help Qianshu keep a lookout.
Yeah, that’s how it should be done!
When Li Chen reached home, he went to the kitchen to wash his hands and made Yun An a bowl of noodles. He was a man who did not eat out often. The refrigerator was full of things. After a while, he cooked a bowl of sliced chicken noodles. He sprinkled it with some sesame oil and parsley. It was delicious. Yun An had been hungry for the whole night, and he was almost moved to tears. It was just so delicious.
It had been long since he ate the noodles that Li Chen made.
Li Chen removed his jacket and tugged at his tie. Then, he threw it aside conveniently and poured some fruit juice at the table. He washed some fruits and brought them over for Yun An to eat.
Yun An finished the entire bowl of noodles.
When his stomach was full, he felt so much better.
“How did you know Bo Yiren?” Yun An asked impolitely. “And, you… you…”
“Don’t be so anxious. I will tell you slowly.”
“Speak up!” Yun An said firmly.
Li Chen explained, “I have not known Bo Yiren for long. A friend recommended her to me. He said that she knew some things about social phobia, so I looked for her whenever I needed help. Xiao Wu’s illness has been ongoing for a long time. The longer it takes, the more unstable things will be. I want to get him another psychiatrist.”
Yun An cursed deeply. Xiao Wu?
Xiao Wu?
They are so close?
Their relationship has developed so well without me knowing?
Li Chen lowered his head and smiled, trying to hide his emotions. “Yun An, why did you stalk me today?”
“Who is stalking you? I’m following Bo Yiren!” Yun An felt like he had been embarrassing enough for the day, and this could not continue on. He denied immediately. “Qianshu said that Bo Yiren has evil intentions. How would I know if she and you are hooking up to do bad things?”
Li Chen’s expression turned heavy, and he stared at him firmly. Yun An felt a little scared from being stared at like that. “Fine, I’m full now. I shall leave.”
“Hold on!” As soon as Yun An stood up, Li Chen shouted at him. Li Chen held his shoulders and pressed him back down onto his seat. “What did you say just now? What do you mean me and Bo Yiren hooking up to do bad things?”
Yun An said, “This is reasonable doubt. You are in such a hurry to keep your distance from me. Aren’t you afraid of others from mistaking us?”
“Indeed, I am afraid that she might misunderstand us.” Li Chen hesitated and said calmly. “You are so heartless. You know what I’m afraid that she would misunderstand?”
“Who knows? I don’t live inside of you.”
“Yun An, don’t bother with this issue. Just pretend not to know anything.”
“Who cares? Qianshu said that she has evil intentions on Ye Ling. Did she tell you anything about Ye Ling?”
“No,” Li Chen said. “She is a psychiatrist and not a close friend of mine. Why would she tell me about Ye Ling? Listen, I don’t want to care about this matter. Tell Qianshu…”
He paused. “Nevermind, don’t tell her anything.”
Yun An looked at him with a heart full of doubts. “What are you even saying? It can’t be that you really have some hidden secrets, huh?”
