Chapter 46 Who Says I Like Her
This was the first time Wen Li had ever seen Zhu Yan so panicked.

Logically speaking, Zhu Yan shouldn't have shown that kind of expression.

What is he panicking about?
Did he let her see the scene where he and An Yuan were almost touching?
Wen Li was puzzled.

At this time, she was resistant to Zhu Yan.

The scene from earlier flashed through Wen Li's mind, and she subconsciously didn't want Zhu Yan to get close to her.

She pushed him away forcefully, her brows furrowed. "What are you doing!"

Without Zhu Yan's support, Wen Li's body swayed, and the stinging pain in her ankle struck again.

This time, she didn't even need a medical guide to tell her that she had twisted her ankle.

How did this pit even get there? It's so unlucky!
"I……"

Wen Li's attitude was aloof, which made Zhu Yan panic.

He had felt inexplicably guilty after seeing Wen Li, and now seeing her attitude, Zhu Yan felt extremely uncomfortable.

I want to explain, but I don't know where to begin.

Even he was just as baffled by what had just happened.

Wen Li ignored Zhu Yan and forced herself to pull her foot out of the mud puddle despite the pain.

Zhu Yan's voice rang out from above.

"I... there really is nothing between An Yuan and me, it's not what you think."

His explanation was weak and feeble.

Wen Li finally pulled her foot out of the mud and looked up at Zhu Yan.

"Really? If there's nothing between you, then why are you hugging?"

Wen Li's tone was very calm, and her face was expressionless.

The more this happened, the more uneasy Zhu Yan felt.

Zhu Yan tried to search her memory, but found only a blank. "I... don't know either."

Wen Li suddenly smiled.

That's such a flimsy excuse. At least come up with something more palatable, like:
An Yuan accidentally slipped and fell on me; we are innocent, etc.

She wouldn't believe it anyway.

Zhu Yan felt his heart pounding when he heard her laughter.

"Wen Li..."

Just as he was about to say something, Wen Li interrupted him directly: "Alright, stop talking."

Zhu Yan was stunned.

Wen Li continued, "I know you like An Yuan, and you don't need to explain to me. There's nothing to explain."

Zhu Yan had always liked An Yuan, and the two might have already been secretly having an affair where she couldn't see them.

This time it was just a coincidence that she bumped into it.

Yes, it's really annoying.

Wen Li decided not to pursue Zhu Yan anymore.

“An Yuan? I don’t like her, I…”

Zhu Yan paused abruptly, then continued after a moment, "Who said I like her?"

Wen Li was taken aback when she heard this and tilted her head.

Zhu Yan emphasized again: "I don't like An Yuan!"

Wen Li remained silent for a moment.

Um? ?

Wait, Zhu Yan doesn't like An Yuan?

Did she misunderstand?

Wen Li carefully searched her memories and found that Zhu Yan had indeed never admitted to liking An Yuan.

Everything was the original owner's idea.

Wen Li inherited the original owner's memories and thus held this preconceived notion.

But he never denied it.

Wen Li recalled the last time she cried to Zhu Yan, saying that she knew he liked An Yuan, but Zhu Yan didn't make any move.

Wen Li's confused expression turned cold again.

“I told you, you don’t need to explain to me,” Wen Li said. “Whether you like An Yuan or not is none of my business.”

"How could it be unrelated!"

Zhu Yan suddenly raised his voice, staring stubbornly at Wen Li, "You...you are still my beast wife no matter what."

Does she really not care?

Wen Li was too lazy to pay him any more attention. Dragging her injured leg, she limped forward and sneered, "So you do know I'm your beastly wife. I thought you didn't."

He was already embracing someone else, yet he still knew he had a beastly wife?

This is even more despicable than Xin Yuan's actions last time!
Zhu Yan watched her retreating figure helplessly, and whispered, "I really don't know what's going on, and I didn't..."

"Can you shut up?" Wen Li coldly interrupted Zhu Yan.

“…Okay, I won’t say anything more.” Zhu Yan fell silent.

Wen Li thought that after saying all that, Zhu Yan wouldn't bother her anymore, given his temper. But she didn't expect him to follow her.

He pursed his lips and followed behind her.

Neither of them spoke anymore.

Wen Li limped forward, moving very slowly.

She really sprained her ankle; it hurt terribly.

The treatment of Zhao Qi had exhausted all of Wen Li's supernatural abilities, leaving her unable to heal herself.

I could only endure the pain and keep moving forward.

However, getting home from here would be a real challenge for Wen Li right now.

After walking only a few steps, Wen Li was in excruciating pain.

Zhu Yan couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he quickly walked to her side and said, "Let me carry you back."

Zhu Yan made a move to pick up Wen Li.

Wen Li dodged to the side, blocking his movement. "Don't touch me, go hug An Yuan."

Weren't the two of them hugging quite happily just now?

Wen Li is also a germaphobe.

Zhu Yan had just embraced another woman; she didn't want him near her.

Besides, the two weren't close.

Zhu Yan froze, completely stunned by Wen Li's direct rejection, which could even be described as disdain.

He stared at Wen Li in astonishment, even looking somewhat aggrieved.

Zhu Yan clenched her fist and explained, word by word, "You are still my beastly wife. I have never done anything to betray you."

“I don’t like An Yuan either. There’s nothing between us.”

"As for what just happened, I don't know why... I didn't hug her, I pushed her away."

Zhu Yan remembered very clearly that she had pushed An Yuan away.

Zhu Yan spoke very quickly, clearly eager to defend himself.

Wen Li realized what was happening, stopped in her tracks, and turned to look at him.

Suddenly, Zhu Yan in front of me felt a little unfamiliar.

"Are you trying to explain this to me?" Wen Li asked.

Zhu Yan nodded, her voice muffled, "Mmm."

Wen Li asked curiously, "Why are you explaining this to me?"

Zhu Yan looked at her in confusion, "You misunderstood me, of course I have to explain clearly."

Wen Li suddenly found it funny and asked in return, "Didn't you say you didn't like An Yuan?"

Zhu Yan nodded.

Wen Li continued, "Then why didn't you explain to me when I said you liked her before? Why are you explaining now?"

This question left Zhu Yan completely bewildered.

He was silent for a while.

Wen Li also looked at him in silence.

"Speechless now, aren't you?" Wen Li said calmly.

Although Wen Li knew in her heart that part of the reason was related to the level of favorability, she still wanted to tease Zhu Yan.

She wanted to see how he would explain it.

It's not surprising that we haven't received an explanation yet.

Wen Li turned around.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan suddenly grabbed her arm. "I... I just don't want you to misunderstand me."

Wen Li was about to pull her hand away, but Zhu Yan gripped it even tighter.

“Didn’t we have a misunderstanding before? You didn’t explain back then either,” Wen Li said, amused.

After saying that, he tried to pull his hand away forcefully, but it didn't budge.
