Chapter 555: Chapter 555

I sat by the edge of the bed, pretending to give her a massage, feigning an air of innocence.

But in reality, at that very moment, I was even more nervous than Liu Anqi.

Liu Anqi was trembling with tension, her skin unbearably warm, and her exquisitely beautiful face had turned crimson, as if ablaze.

After all, in Wang Yaqi’s eyes, Liu Anqi always looked down on me. If she discovered that the two of us had a questionable relationship, it would truly be utterly humiliating.

“Ya Qi, it’s nothing. Xu Tian was just giving me a massage earlier, and it hurt a bit.”

Liu Anqi was trying desperately to stay composed.

“Oh, oh, I see.”

Wang Yaqi didn’t give it much thought and casually glanced at the bedsheet. “Why is there water on the bedsheet?”

“Earlier… I accidentally spilled some while drinking water.”

Liu Anqi lied, her voice trembling.

What a joke, that was something that had erupted from her own body. Such an embarrassing thing now exposed in front of Wang Yaqi–it made her flush with shame and feel humiliated.

“Why don’t I switch it out and wash it for you then?”

As she spoke, Wang Yaqi reached out to tug at the bedsheet.

“No, no need!”

Liu Anqi panicked, clutching the bedsheet tightly with both hands, desperately trying to stop her, but she didn’t dare stand up.

Watching the scene unfold, I held back my laughter, feeling ridiculous and yet wildly exhilarated.

Just moments ago, I had been intimately close with Wang Yaqi, and now here I was with Liu Anqi. This sensation was entirely addictive, as though I was treading recklessly on the edge of self-destruction.

After chatting lightly, once Wang Yaqi left the room, I too made my exit.

In the days that followed, Mr. Wang was consumed by work-related commitments, and we rarely saw each other.

Liu Anqi, on the other hand, would occasionally call me to meet for meals.

I realized Liu Anqi was an incredibly refined woman–each time we met, her attire was always perfectly chosen.

Perhaps because she had moved on from that past relationship, Liu Anqi’s demeanor had become remarkably cheerful.

Of course, her wild temper remained as untamed as ever, and she would often playfully push or shove me.

But by now, I had grown accustomed to this dynamic.

If one day she suddenly turned gentle, I think I’d find it unsettling instead.

Pervert, stinky brother.

She’d always call me these names with an air of disdain, often throwing sharp remarks my way.

Yet every time we touched, she never resisted–in fact, she was even quite proactive about it.

When I had nothing else to do, I’d make a point to buy her some luxury goods. At first, she would refuse, saying it was unnecessary and wasteful.

But once she learned I had some savings, she finally accepted them gladly.

“You know, for a pervert, you’re actually not bad. But if you think you’ll win me over just like that, think again–keep trying.”

Liu Anqi kissed my cheek and patted my shoulder, as if offering encouragement.

“Oh, and one more thing–you’re absolutely not allowed to date Wang Yaqi, got it?”

She would always say things like that to me, probably because the time I had jokingly said I liked Wang Yaqi more than her had truly hurt her feelings.

I knew she had already fallen for me and didn’t want to lose me.

Even as I felt elated, there was still some unease lingering.

Liu Anqi and I could only meet in secret. If Mr. Wang ever found out with her traditional and conservative personality, she’d definitely be upset and leave me for good.

But the crux of the problem was–I couldn’t bear to part with either of these women.

And then, just like that, my worst fear came true.

It happened on a weekend. Mr. Wang took the initiative to invite me out for dinner, and naturally Liu Anqi wanted to come along too.

During dinner, I sat between the two women, glancing left and right, feeling incredibly tense.

With Wang Yaqi, although our relationship wasn’t official yet, it was just one step away from that final confession.

And it was the same with Liu Anqi too.

Though we hadn’t done *everything*, we had already done most things that couples would.

The only thing that reassured me was that they both seemed afraid of being discovered. So they were meticulously hiding and making sure not to let the other sense anything amiss.

After the meal, Liu Anqi suggested watching a movie.

Once again, I sat in the middle between these two women, my hands unsure of where they should rest, stiffly sitting upright as I concentrated on watching the film.

But it was then I suddenly felt a soft, delicate hand slowly slide onto my waist, and then… deliberately scratch at it.
