The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

[So Qi Yize had been trying to poach Qiu Li's girlfriend for years, even proactively proposing a partnership with her in order to maintain contact with them, but this year the two of them finally got together.]

Since opening her own law firm, Qiu Li has become increasingly busy, always overwhelmed with various matters. She has had far less time to spend with Chi Lingling and hasn't had time to care for her, so Qi Yize has gradually taken advantage of the situation.

[Their actual transgression was the cliché of drunken indiscretion; if alcohol could talk, it would be protesting its innocence every day.]

It was Chi Lingling's birthday that day, but Qiu Li was out of town for court and couldn't make it back, so Qi Yize went to her house with flowers and gifts. The two of them drank and ended up having sex.

Qiu Li's hands, which were under the table, clenched tighter and tighter. He hadn't even noticed that Qi Yize had always held this attitude towards him.

He thought that even if they weren't each other's best friends, they were like-minded companions. But it turned out that he had been wearing a mask and interacting with himself since college.

What about Chi Lingling?

Since she noticed Qi Yize's strange behavior so many years ago, why did she never mention it to me?

An Ling has roughly figured out everything about Qi Yize. In short, he can't compare to Qiu Li in other aspects, so he thinks about cheating on Qiu Li and cuckolding her. He uses the mental victory method to create some psychological comfort for himself and seek some twisted pleasure.

She then checked Chi Lingling's information, and indeed, she had more information on her side.

【Forehead……】

Chi Lingling's wavering came sooner than I expected.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Li and Qiu Nian perked up their ears and listened even more intently.

After all, according to An Ling's previous thinking, the two of them only got together this year, and Chi Lingling had been avoiding Qi Yize before. So what does it mean that it happened earlier than An Ling imagined?

"Why aren't you eating?" Chi Lingling's sudden voice startled the three of them.

Oh no, I was so engrossed in the investigation that I forgot to move.

It turned out that the three of them hadn't touched their chopsticks much since they sat down, which made Chi Lingling and Qi Yize look at them with great confusion.

Anling and Qiu Nian quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Chi Lingling put some food on Qiu Li's plate and asked helplessly:

"Thinking about cases again, huh? Just eat properly when you're eating, and stop thinking about work."

"Ah."

After Qiu Li agreed, he did not eat the dishes that Chi Lingling had put on his plate. Instead, he picked up another dish for himself and ate it.

But this little thing didn't bother Chi Lingling and Qi Yize. They continued eating and chatted with Qiu Li and Qiu Nian from time to time.

However, the two of them didn't communicate much, and there was no indication on the surface that they were in a relationship where they could have sex.

[Chi Lingling had been avoiding Qi Yize's advances, partly because she genuinely liked Qiu Li, and partly because she had heard that Qi Yize frequently changed girlfriends, so she knew he wasn't seriously pursuing her.]

But she didn't tell Qiu Li these things because she felt Qiu Li and Qi Yize were good friends, and she didn't want them to become enemies because of her.

An Ling was silent for a moment after reading this, she was speechless at Chi Lingling's thought process.

Qiu Li and Qiu Nian were also speechless; they couldn't understand Chi Lingling's thoughts at all.

What does it mean to not want them to become enemies because of your relationship?

It's already quite abnormal that your boyfriend's best friend is pursuing you, okay?

If Qi Yize truly considered Qiu Li a good friend, he would never have resorted to such underhanded tactics!

Is Chi Lingling genuinely unaware or just pretending?

Is she still feeling smug and thinking she did the right thing? That she's thinking of Qiu Li?

[But she hadn't expected Qi Yize to be so persistent with her, not giving up even after several years. Chi Lingling began to suspect that perhaps Qi Yize's feelings for her were genuine.]

Moreover, Qi Yize really went to great lengths to steal Qiu Li away, giving her expensive gifts. Although Qiu Li was quite generous to her, the value of her gifts couldn't compare to what Qi Yize gave her.

Chi Lingling initially returned all the gifts, but later she was blinded by their advances and occasionally accepted some.

This gave Qi Yize a signal that he could succeed, which led to the natural progression of things on Chi Lingling's birthday night.

Qiu Li didn't know how to feel after hearing this.

Although he already knew that his family was well-off, Qiu Li's parents always taught them to be self-reliant, so after graduating, Qiu Li never relied on his family and always worked hard on his own. Naturally, he couldn't compare to Qi Yize in terms of material wealth.

But now the law firm is on the right track, his reputation is growing, and everything is developing in a good direction. The gifts he gives to Chi Lingling are getting better and better. Is she still not satisfied?

No, it's okay if she's not satisfied; she has the right to pursue the life she desires.

But the premise is that she has to tell Qiu Li the truth first. After they break up, it's her freedom to be with whomever she wants.

Maintaining a romantic relationship with Qiu Li while also having an ambiguous relationship with Qi Yize is something no one could tolerate.

Qiu Li really wanted to know why Chi Lingling could pretend nothing had happened after having an affair with Qi Yize.

Although their drunken sexual encounter was already a betrayal of her, their continued relationship with her as if nothing had happened was nothing short of adding another betrayal on top of another.

Qiu Li would rather Chi Lingling tell him the truth, so he could break up with her decisively and then it would be none of his business what the two of them did afterward, instead of being kept in the dark and being played like a fool by them.

After they had sex, Chi Lingling was actually very flustered because she felt that she still loved Qiu Li, but now her body had betrayed him.

She was even a little worried that Qi Yize might tell Qiu Li what had happened between them in order to be with her, which would definitely lead Qiu Li to break up with her, but Chi Lingling didn't want to be separated from the person she loved.

However, Qi Yize's reaction was beyond her expectations. Qi Yize actually said that he had been drinking and lost control, which is why he did something wrong.

If Chi Lingling wants him to take responsibility, he should apologize to Qiu Li and then be with Chi Lingling. If Chi Lingling doesn't want to break up with Qiu Li, he can pretend nothing happened and help keep the secret. However, to show his remorse, he will still treat Chi Lingling well afterward.

Qiu Li Qiu Nian: ...

They almost lost their composure.

What are these two thinking?
