Chapter 97 Betrayal
While saying this, Meng Yu kept observing Wen Li's expression.

Even though she had carefully chosen her words, it still had a huge impact on Wen Li.

Wen Li's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at her in disbelief.

Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?

Wen Li remained silent for a while, her voice hoarse, and her clasped hands were frighteningly cold.

I already knew the answer in my heart.

The image of An Yuan leaving home that day is still vivid in my mind.

She heard An Yuan's words clearly, and she still remembered her joyful tone.

Wen Li had her doubts, but Bai Yanci's gaze was too sincere.

Its sincerity made her unable to bear doubting it.

His exhaustion and injuries also prevented her from asking those questions.

Meng Yu took one of her hands and found it was terribly cold.

"You read that right, I swear." Meng Yu said earnestly, "The Beast God is..."

“You don’t need to swear, I believe you,” Wen Li interrupted Meng Yu.

He took a deep breath and asked carefully, "When did you see it?"

“Several times.” Meng Yu recalled seriously, “Shortly after you disappeared, I saw the two of them together.”

"..."

Meng Yu said a lot, and she felt it was necessary to remind Wen Li about this matter.

An Yuan, this woman, is too wicked.

During Wen Li's absence, An Yuan completely took her place and thrived in the witch doctor's business.

I don't know what kind of mind-altering drugs she gave some of the males.

Needless to say, unmarried males were completely infatuated with her. Some married males even argued with their wives because of her, putting their family relationships at risk.

The males in their tribe have always been well-behaved, only recognizing one wife, and such a "scandal" has not occurred for many years.

Moreover, the males in the tribe regarded An Yuan as a goddess, praising her with utmost reverence.

An Yuan's renowned reputation even reached several surrounding tribes, and a large number of males came to her door, wanting to marry her.

In less than half a month, An Yuan became a heartthrob, attracting countless men.

Even Wen Li's beast husband is one of them.

Meng Yu caught An Yuan and Bai Yanci having a secret rendezvous in the grove several times.

At first, she thought she was overthinking it.

The second encounter was no coincidence; Meng Yu immediately stepped forward and began to hurl insults at him.

She still remembers An Yuan's face back then.

She wrote with an expression of innocence, explaining that the reason she and Bai Yanci were there was because they were both worried about Wen Li and were discussing ways to find her.

Pooh!
Ghost letter!
Meng Yu clearly saw that An Yuan was practically clinging to Bai Yanci!

What angered Meng Yu even more was that Bai Yanci didn't refute or refuse An Yuan at all.

Wen Li had only been missing for a short time, and her beast husband had already started having affairs with other females. Meng Yu was furious for Wen Li.

After hearing Meng Yu's words, Wen Li's face grew even paler.

He had come to see Meng Yu in high spirits, but unexpectedly learned the truth.

The truth was revealed in a bloody way.

Meng Yu's words, combined with what she had witnessed that night, overwhelmed Wen Li's rationality, leaving her breathless.

She thought of the sweet words Bai Yanci had said to her, and his earnest and incredibly moving gaze.

all fake?

Could it be that even the favorability rating is fake?

"Wen Li, Wen Li! Are you alright?"

Wen Li looked up and met Meng Yu's worried gaze.

She shook her head, her face deathly pale, "...No good."

You're in the honeymoon phase of your relationship, and your best friend suddenly tells you that your boyfriend is cheating on you. Who could accept that?
"I'm telling you this now so you can prepare yourself mentally in advance," Meng Yu said gently.

It's better to know the truth sooner rather than later than to remain kept in the dark.

"I know, thank you." Wen Li gave a wry smile.

Meng Yu patted her shoulder reassuringly.

"It's okay. With your current good conditions, are you afraid of not finding a high-quality beast husband?"

A thought flashed through Wen Li's mind, and she grabbed Meng Yu's hand tightly, "Where are the others? Have you seen anyone else?"

She was genuinely worried that while she was away, An Yuan would pry all her defenses off.

"No more." Meng Yu shook her head gently.

She hadn't seen Wen Li's other beast husbands during this time; the only ones she'd encountered recently were Zhu Yan and Bai Yanci.

Knowing that Zhu Yan was outside, Meng Yu pointed and said, "Zhu Yan cares about you a lot."

“During the time you were missing, he kept running away, even when he was injured. I often saw him at the witch doctor's, and the witch doctor always advised him to take it easy.”

Wen Li felt a warmth in her heart.

I didn't realize Zhu Yan cared about her so much...

"I think Zhu Yan is a good person, you should cherish him."

Wen Li's initially terrible mood finally improved somewhat.

Wen Li didn't stay long before getting up to say goodbye.

"Then I'll go back first."

Meng Yu could understand her feelings. "Okay, I won't keep you any longer."

Turning around, Wen Li's forced smile vanished.

While the two were talking, several men were waiting outside.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Wen Li come out.

The main problem was that Wen Li's expression was too unpleasant at this moment, a stark contrast to her radiant demeanor when she first arrived.

Zhu Yan noticed that Wen Li was in a bad mood and quickly stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go back."

Zhu Yan frowned slightly.

"……it is good."

Wen Li pulled him along for a while, and neither of them spoke.

The cold wind outside was refreshing, but her mind was still a jumbled mess.

The constant entanglement and conflict between Bai Yanci and An Yuan was driving her crazy.

She couldn't wait to find out what Bai Yanci was thinking!

She wanted an explanation.

When the two arrived home, Wen Li went straight to her room, but didn't see anyone.

She and Zhu Yan had only been gone for a short while when Bai Yanci disappeared without a trace.

"Are you looking for Yan Ci?" Zhu Yan followed closely behind Wen Li.

Wen Li paused, realizing just how unusual her behavior was.

Wen Li said, "Mm."

Zhu Yan: "I'll help you look for it."

Zhu Yan then realized that Wen Li's unusual behavior was largely related to Bai Yanci.

He volunteered to take on this task.

However, before the two left, Bai Yanci, who was originally at home, had disappeared without a trace.

He was neither in Wen Li's room nor in his own room.

The two searched every room in the house, but still couldn't find Bai Yanci.

"They should... have gone out by now," Zhu Yan said softly.

"Ah."

Wen Li sat in the chair, looking dejected.

She's starting to get confused.

What is Bai Yanci really thinking? Could he have been misled by An Yuan as well?

That's not impossible...

Wen Li was lost in her own thoughts, completely ignoring Zhu Yan.

"What happened to you?"

Zhu Yan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.

Wen Li finally came to her senses, looked at Zhu Yan, and hesitated to speak.

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I didn't know how to say them.

"Can't you tell me?" Zhu Yan asked.

Wen Li sighed, "...It's not impossible."

Wen Li took a deep breath, still intending to confide in Zhu Yan.

"Meng Yu just told me something."

"Hmm, is it about Yan Ci?"

Wen Li looked slightly surprised, and Zhu Yan chuckled as he pulled her back. "I'm not so stupid that I can't even see this."

Wen Li coughed lightly.

Her behavior just now was indeed too obvious.

"What happened to Yan Ci?" Zhu Yan continued to ask.

Wen Li said, "Meng Yu told me that she saw him with An Yuan several times."

As she said this, Wen Li kept staring at Zhu Yan, trying to see if he knew about it.

Zhu Yan looked surprised: "Huh??"

Clearly, he didn't know.

"What are he doing with An Yuan?" Zhu Yan asked her first, even more puzzled than she was.

Wen Li suppressed the bitterness in her heart and scoffed, "I don't know, I heard they're very close."

Her beastly husband is with other females, damn it.

Zhu Yan's handsome brows were tightly furrowed.

"...Could I have misread it?" Zhu Yan asked.

"Why do you think that?" Wen Li asked in return.

Zhu Yan hesitated, unsure whether he should speak or not.

Wen Li pinched his face, "Say it, don't make that face."

Zhu Yan did not stop her, but instead pulled her into his arms and snuggled close to her.

"Yan Ci likes you," Zhu Yan said directly.

Although he and Bai Yanci are considered "love rivals," it is undeniable that Bai Yanci likes Wen Li.

He could see that.

"..."

Wen Li released her hand from his cheek and placed it on his shoulder.

"Yeah."

Even Wen Li herself was unsure.

Although Bai Yanci currently has a high level of affection for her... why is he still hanging out with An Yuan!
"You don't believe me?" Zhu Yan cupped her face and looked at her intently. "When you disappeared, he was the first one to go crazy."

Wen Li was startled.

Even Zhu Yan was surprised when he recalled that day; it was the first time he had ever seen Bai Yanci so out of control.

He was also the first person to go to Wen Li.

The search lasted three days, and as a result, I got sick.

If it weren't for affection, Zhu Yan couldn't understand why Bai Yanci would do such a thing.

He's crazy?
If it were the old Bai Yanci, he probably would have set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Hearing Zhu Yan say that, Wen Li felt much better.

She stubbornly insisted, "Maybe he's just afraid to die... After all, if I die, you'll all be affected too."

Zhu Yan's eyes suddenly became deep.

Is this how you think of us?

As he spoke, his tone deepened, and he gently bit Wen Li's lip.

Wen Li did not answer.

Looking at her expression, Zhu Yan said seriously, "Yan Ci won't die."

"Ok?"

This was the first time Wen Li had heard this claim.

"What do you mean he won't die?" Wen Li pressed.

"You may not know this, but their family has a secret technique. The death of the wife will injure the beastman, but it won't kill him," Zhu Yan explained.

Can it still be like this? ?
Thinking about it carefully, Wen Li felt that the logic was flawed. "If that's the case, why didn't he just leave when he was so disgusted with him before?"

Zhu Yan found it amusing, "He won't die on his own, but he won't deliberately cripple himself either."

The secret technique can save your life, but the backlash can be significant.

The key point is that even if she dies outside, it will have some impact on Bai Yanci, but it won't completely implicate him.

“He must be very sad that you think of him like that,” Zhu Yan couldn’t help but speak up for his good brother.

Wen Li: "..."

Wen Li's mind was in turmoil again.

"If he likes me, why is he with An Yuan? What reason does he have to be with An Yuan?"

An Yuan was still so affectionate towards him, and Wen Li didn't dare to think too much about what had happened between the two of them.

And... Bai Yanci's skills are so good, could it be that he's already with An Yuan...!
The thought of this made Wen Li feel nauseous.

"...There might be some misunderstanding."

Zhu Yan himself was completely baffled.

He had no idea why Bai Yanci wanted to be with An Yuan.

"And what about you?" Wen Li changed the subject, her sharp gaze landing on Zhu Yan.

"What? Don't overthink it!" Zhu Yan quickly denied, "I don't like An Yuan, I only like you."

Heaven and earth conscience.

He didn't have those kinds of crazy ideas.

Wen Li said, "I'll trust you for now."

Zhu Yan: "..."

Disaster struck from the sky.

From now on, I will definitely avoid An Yuan whenever I see her.

"Rest here for a while, Yanci might be back soon."

Zhu Yan lifted Wen Li down, saying, "I'll go cook."

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

People get hungry quickly in winter and need to replenish their nutrition in time, so the original habit of eating two meals a day has been changed to three meals a day.

"it is good."

Zhu Yan got up and walked outside.

Wen Li sat for a while, then felt extremely irritable, so she got up and went outside to get some fresh air.

However, as soon as she went outside, her attention was drawn to a figure not far away.

It was a female figure.

How could she possibly end up near her house?

Furthermore, Wen Li found the other person's figure to be extremely familiar.

Without a second thought, she followed him.

The figure moved back and forth in the snow, clearly not a first-timer.

It took Wen Li some effort to catch up with her.

Finally, the other party stopped.

Wen Li quickly stopped, found a huge tree, and hid herself under it.

"You came."

A deep, familiar voice came from not far away, sending a chill down Wen Li's spine.

This is!

Bai Yanci's voice!

In that instant, Wen Li felt her heart being squeezed tightly in her chest, and she clenched her hands.

Bai Yanci, whom she and Zhu Yan had been searching for, was actually here.

"I bid farewell to the inkstone!"

An Yuan's voice rang out.

Wen Li was extremely familiar with both of these voices.

It was precisely because of their familiarity that it made her hair stand on end.

Meng Yu's words echoed in her mind once again. Wen Li leaned stiffly against the tree, waiting for the two to continue their conversation.

"You've been waiting a long time, haven't you!" An Yuan said with a smile, her voice filled with sweetness and surprise.

Bai Yanci: "It's alright, I just arrived."

An Yuan: "Here, this is the medicine the witch doctor prepared for you today."

Bai Yanci: "Thank you."

An Yuan: "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Bai Yanci: "Wen Li is back."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Wen Li's breath caught in her throat.

Her fingernails dug into her flesh, and the pain made her barely manage to control her reason.

An Yuan's voice trembled slightly: "...What do you want to say?"

Bai Yanci sighed: "Don't contact me anymore. Now that Wen Li is back, I'll still be her beastly husband..."

"No!" An Yuan interrupted him sharply, "You don't have to be!"
