Hard to Deceive

Chapter 14: He's definitely gay

This news was no different than a misfortune to Wen Yifan.

Furthermore, it was without any warnings.

Wen Yifan had never heard Wang Linlin mention that she had found a housemate for her, let alone asking her for her opinion. She had become the third party in this situation.

Moreover, things had reached a conclusion while she was oblivious about it.

Wen Yifan thought this was too ridiculous.

Even if she was calm, she was still annoyed.

However, judging from Sang Yans reaction, she could tell that he had no idea as well.

Wen Yifan calmed down and took off her shoes. Then, she pointed at the sofa, as if she was serving a guest, Please have a seat first. I havent a clue what happened, so let me call and ask.

Sang Yan simply stood still.

Wen Yifan went into her room without waiting for him to answer.

It was approaching eleven oclock.

Wen Yifan planned to take a quick bath before going to bed when she arrived home. She never thought that she would have to deal with something troublesome. She didnt care about the possibility that Wang Linlin had fallen asleep, and she called her number.

The call rang a dozen times before she picked up the call.

Wang Linlin was having her beauty sleep as usual. She was slightly annoyed because the call had woken her up, Who is it?! Are you out of your mind? Its bedtime!

Wen Yifan, Linlin, its Wen Yifan.

Wang Linlin, Tell me tomorrow, Im exhausted.

I dont want to bother you as well, but Ill just ask you something real quick. Wen Yifan spoke in a monotonous tone, Did you give your keys to someone else? Theres someone in the house now.

Ah? Wang Linlin sounded clearer, Who is it? It cant be my boyfriend! Dont you hook up with him!

No. Wen Yifan added, Its Sang Yan.

Oh. Wang Linlin was obviously relieved and explained to her, I remember now. You know Ive been trying to find someone to replace me, right? I couldnt find one, and I got anxious, so I couldnt resist mentioning it to my boyfriend.

Wen Yifan listened patiently.

He probably didnt want to see me upset, so he helped me to solve this problem behind my back. Wang Linlin began to show off coquettishly, I dont know, I think he probably wanted to surprise me.

Wen Yifan thought she would be apologetic, even if it was just a little bit.

It seemed like she had overestimated her.

She really, really, really hated taking care of such things.

To put it mildly, Wen Yifan had a good temper and wouldnt care about small matters. But in fact, she knew that she didnt care because she couldnt be bothered about things not concerning her.

It had nothing to do with her whether the person was good or bad, was dead or alive.

Her only mindset was to live her own life.

Even if someone misunderstood her, treated her badly, or spoke in a strange way, as long as it didnt cause any harm to her, she didnt think it mattered.

It would not affect her mood.

There were already a lot of problems in life after all. How could people survive if they had to care about everything?

Over the years, Wen Yifan treated everyone with that thought in mind.

She wouldnt argue with others, offend others, or oppose others as long as people didnt do anything that would affect her life.

Wang Linlin added, Sang Yans house was on fire, so he had to find a place to live temporarily. Geez, just live with him, its

Wen Yifan interrupted her, What did you tell me before this?

Wang Linlin paused for a few seconds probably because she had never heard Wen Yifan speak impolitely. She said, Why are you being so fierce? You scared me. Sang Yan is not a creep, hes tall and handsome, and hes rich too. Dont you feel that youre super lucky?

Wen Yifan repeated, Just answer me, what did you tell me before this?

I dont know! Why are you blaming me? Geez! Wang Linlin just woke up before getting questioned, her attitude was not good either, Oh, I know. But you dont have to think too much. Who knows? Maybe he still likes you.

Wang Linlin, I heard from my boyfriend that Sang Yan didnt have a girlfriend in his four years of university life. He was not close to any girl as well. He was only seen spending most of his time with another good-looking guy from the same dormitory. So, people in his university thought they were a couple.

Wen Yifan smiled bitterly. She wondered how much longer she would have to listen to more of her b*llshits.

He didnt date anyone even until now! Thats a really huge problem, he probably only discovered his sexual orientation in recent years. Wang Linlin added, My boyfriend is in quite a dangerous position, now that I think about it. 

Wen Yifan knew Wang Linlin was not very reliable.

But she never thought she could be this unreliable.

Wen Yifan closed her eyes, she didnt want to speak to her anymore.

Wang Linlin couldnt bother to speak more, Relax, Im sure hes definitely gay. Even if we dont talk about this, theres nothing wrong with sharing a unit with someone of the opposite sex. The partner I found previously was also thanks to us sharing a unit together. 

Wen Yifan finally spoke, Hearing from the way you speak, you must have a good relationship with Su Haoan. She said slowly, as if she was hiding needles behind her good nature, Then, the one who was always picking you up in a Ferrari must be his friend.

Wang Linlin immediately paused, What do you mean?

Ah, right. Since you think its so good to be housemates with Sang Yan, why dont you live with him?

Since its not too much to have one more affair. Wen Yifan smiled, Its not too difficult for you, is it?

-

At the same time, in the living room.

Sang Yan called Su Haoan while suppressing his anger, Are you out of your mind?

D*mn. Su Haoan was at a noisy place, which sounded like a bar, Bro, chill, peace, okay? Why are you scolding me?

Sang Yan sneered, Dont tell me you didnt know there was someone else living in this unit.

Su Haoan was instantly relieved when he knew what the call was about, and he said, Why do you want to live in a big house alone? Living with someone else can save you some money while your house is under renovation.

Sang Yan, Do I look like I need to share a unit with others?

You dont need to, but isnt that our Goddess Wen? Su Haoan giggled, Alright, alright, I understand. You dont have to thank me, we have been brothers for so many years.

Forget it, Sang Yan knew he couldnt communicate with him, Im going to your house now.

F*ck off, Im going to be doing something tonight, dont bother me!

Im a grown-ass man. Sang Yan added, Do you think its appropriate for me to live with a girl?

What the h*ck, how can you say that? Why didnt you think about this when you told me you wanted to live in Shangduhua City? Su Haoan added, Dont think I dont know what happened when your face got beaten up to such a state. Cmon, you dont have to act in front of me, we both know about that...

And think about how beautiful Goddess Wen is, do you think youll get to have this opportunity again? Su Haoan said, Bro, go be her guardian angel. Who knows someday shell have a crush on you

Sang Yan heard the door opening before Su Haoan was able to finish.

He was furious and immediately ended the phone call.

The next moment.

Wen Yifan appeared in front of him. She looked at him and calmly asked, Can we talk?

Both of them sat on the opposing ends of the sofa, silent.

Wen Yifan started the conversation, This whole scenario is a miscommunication. Its getting late now, Ill book you a hotel nearby, what do you think?

Sang Yan leaned against the chair and looked at her lazily.

Wen Yifan gave it a thought before saying, You can look for a suitable house later, what do you think?

Sang Yan smirked after listening to her making arrangements for him, he said, You sure are good at planning things.

We didnt know about this beforehand. Now that we do, we dont have to continue living up to the mistake. Wen Yifan explained, And you probably arent used to sharing a unit with others.

Mistake.

Sang Yan held on to that word.

She was frowning and pressing her lips when she spoke. It was a far cry from her usual appearance where nothing could fluctuate her emotions.

It was as if she had encountered something unacceptable and that upset her.

But she was too embarrassed to say it out directly.

She was afraid of annoying him and getting entangled with him.

So she carefully chose the words that he might accept.

Sang Yan looked up and repeated inexplicably, How do you know if Im not used to it?

Wen Yifan said patiently, It takes time to get along with a housemate when sharing a unit together. People usually share units due to financial issues. Your financial condition doesnt require you to force yourself to live with somebody else.Gêt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐velbin(.)com

My house was burnt. Sang Yan paused, My money was all spent on renovation.

Wen Yifan reminded, You own a bar.

Sang Yan said annoyingly, Its not that profitable.

...... Wen Yifan secretly sighed and said tactfully, A reporter is not a nine-to-five job. My schedule is very irregular, I often work overtime, and I often go out early and return home late. I am likely to affect your rest.

Oh. Sang Yan deliberately wanted to give her a hard time, Then you should be quiet when you come back.

He didnt seem to understand anything, so Wen Yifan straightforwardly said, We are of the opposite sex, there will be many inconveniences. You dont want to think twice when youre doing things at home, do you?

Why should I think twice? Sang Yan looked straight at her, and suddenly smiled, Wen Yifan, the attitude you have now is quite interesting.

Wen Yifan, What?

Sang Yans voice had no warmth as he spoke slowly, Do you think that I still have feelings for you and I will bother you again like before?

...... Wen Yifan nearly choked, I didnt mean that.

I didnt expect that you would see me as someone who is sentimental.

I am logically explaining our current situation, you dont have to misinterpret what I said.

My luggage is already here, and Im too lazy to move it anymore. Ill live for a maximum of three months, and Ill move out once my house is finished renovating. Sang Yan smirked, I hope you wont attempt to get close to me while Im staying here.

Wen Yifan couldnt help but say, You only have one piece of luggage.

I wanted to ask, what is the reason for you being so offended? Sang Yan tilted his head slightly and looked at her playfully, Or, am I mistaken?

What?

Sang Yan glanced at her from top to bottom, then he suddenly said casually.

Could it be that youre the one who wasnt able to forget?
