Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 523 - 480: Lin Yi Is Angry
Glancing over at Li Wentao, who had a bitter expression, he incredulously blurted out:
"What the hell. Can you even play like this?"
After Lin Yi swore, Li Huiqun beside him looked even more shocked and stunned:
"Fuck! Is there really such a situation? Isn’t this the stuff of those melodramatic novels? It actually happens in real life? Are you joking with me?"
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Li Huiqun was so startled he didn’t even bother with the wine on his lips.
Looking at the expressions on both their faces, and their reaction, Li Wentao could only smile bitterly:
"Heh, why would I lie to you? That’s how it is. She actually has a male best friend."
Before he could continue, Li Huiqun slammed his wine glass on the table:
"What the fuck, why are you still with her in such a situation? No matter how good-looking she is, you shouldn’t accept it. Why bother? She’s not the only woman in the world. What are you thinking?"
This was something Li Huiqun shouldn’t have said.
After all, it’s easier to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage.
Since the two are together, it’s better not to interfere.
However, given their close relationship since childhood, which is like that of real brothers, he spoke frankly because he didn’t want to see a good brother jump into a pit of fire.
Not only Li Huiqun, but Lin Yi also couldn’t help nodding.
"Indeed, there’s no need to waste your energy on such a woman.
Male best friends, heh, as men, do we not know the other guy’s intentions?
Do you really believe in this kind of male-female friendship?"
Seeing that the leader agreed with him, Li Huiqun nodded again.
On the other hand, Li Wentao poured himself another glass of wine, but seeing him like that, the two brothers beside him also raised their glasses, clinked them together, and drained them.
Lin Yi was a bit tipsy at this point, having reached his alcohol limit.
But at that moment, he had no time to worry about his woozy feeling, nor to think about how much he could drink, as his mind was filled with thoughts about the situation.
After draining his glass, Li Wentao finally began to speak slowly:
"Heh, I know all the things you said. Unfortunately, she didn’t mention this at first.
By the time I knew, we were already deeply involved.
Hearing this, Lin Yi and Li Huiqun felt helpless, fearing such a situation the most.
At first, they didn’t know, and the couple was strongly bonded, but after some time, this was discovered, yet their relationship had already laid a foundation, presenting a real dilemma.
To let go was heartbreaking, but holding on was like having a thorn in the throat.
They could deeply empathize with what Li Wentao must have felt then.
Being men themselves, they understood how challenging it was.
In the same situation, they would find it unacceptable.
As men, they knew there usually wasn’t a platonic reason for being a female friend’s closest companion.
"We had an argument at that moment. I told her I absolutely won’t allow her to have male best friends.
She got angry too, saying they had been the best of friends since elementary to college, insisting their friendship was platonic.
Heh, you can’t imagine my feelings at that time. If I hadn’t invested so much in her, I would have left.
Hearing this, Li Huiqun couldn’t help but roll his eyes:
"Pure friendship, my ass.
Is pure friendship even possible between a man and a woman?
Are you dumb or am I?
Although I know you’re in a tough spot, you either cut it off or face chaos. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Although these aren’t words I should say, I really don’t want to see you affected by this."
Li Wentao knew they genuinely cared about him.
So he wasn’t angry, just looking more bitter:
"I understood all of this. I was very firm at the time; unless she broke all contact with that guy, we couldn’t be together. Otherwise, we had to break up."
Li Huiqun wanted to say more, but Lin Yi stopped him and motioned to let Li Wentao continue.
Li Wentao’s account then properly began:
"That day, we argued fiercely, almost breaking up.
That night I got a call from a guy.
He said he was the male best friend.
He also said they’d been playing together since childhood and never saw Xiao Chen as an opposite sex.
Just treating her as a brother, urging me not to overthink it.
He also said, as a man, I should be more magnanimous, stating if anything would have happened, it’d have been long ago.
Hearing this, Li Huiqun couldn’t hold back, letting out a cold laugh:
"Heh, who are they kidding? Would you believe this? I’d have given him an earful about his female relatives over the phone."
However, Li Wentao did not disappoint him:
"Of course, our thoughts are the same; I cursed him out over the phone.
And he said something you wouldn’t expect."
After a slight pause, Li Wentao poured himself another drink but didn’t drink, continuing his story:
"He told me I was overthinking and not a real man.
He claimed theirs was a pure friendship, and they’d even shared a private room with nothing happening, so that proved it.
Furthermore, he shared they travelled and slept in the same bed without anything ever happening, proving their friendship’s purity."
At this point, Lin Yi couldn’t resist, slamming his glass on the table, swearing again:
[To be continued...]
PS: Sorry, brothers, there’s been so much going on recently. My updates haven’t kept up. Once this period passes, Yuzu will make it up to everyone.
