After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 290 - 288: Why Are You with Another Man?!

In a flustered hurry, Li Ruoshui snatched a pair of pale blue panties and tossed them onto Shen Fanyun's neck. "Get dressed! Why aren't you moving?" she urged, her voice anxious. "Stop dilly-dallying and hurry up!"

Shen Fanyun grimaced, his tone faint. "These aren't mine."

Li Ruoshui froze for a second, her lips pouting in a mix of embarrassment and speechlessness. They were her own panties. In her panic, she had actually thrown them at Shen Fanyun. Without another word, she snatched them back, lifted her leg, and began to put them on. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The sunlight cast a silhouette against her fair, soft skin, creating a scene as beautiful as a painting.

"So fragrant, so beautiful," Shen Fanyun sighed.

Li Ruoshui couldn't be bothered to respond, continuing to rummage for her shirt. Shen Fanyun, meanwhile, remained completely still. With his hands resting behind his head, he had the perfect air of a spectator enjoying the drama from the sidelines.

"Ruoshui, Ruoshui."

"Are you upstairs?"

A familiar voice drifted up from downstairs. Shao Yang.

Li Ruoshui's brow furrowed. What was with today? First, there were the unwelcome visits from Liu Bing and Hong Tao. Now, Shao Yang had shown up out of the blue, acting first and asking for permission later. He hadn't informed her in advance, simply appearing unannounced at her dormitory. At least he'd had the sense to call first. Otherwise, if he had come up planning a surprise and she had opened the door… wouldn't Shao Yang's mind have been completely blown? He would be scarred for life.

The childhood friend who has been smitten with me for over a decade would find me tumbling in the sheets with a strange man, having the time of my life. This… This would be devastating for any loyal lapdog, and Shao Yang would be no exception!

Li Ruoshui shook her head, not daring to imagine the scene.

Still, his arrival was a good opportunity. She could use this chance to make things clear and stop him from wasting any more time on her.

My heart already belongs to someone else. And I've never liked Shao Yang. Today is the day I make that perfectly clear.

With her mind made up, Li Ruoshui began to plan how she would get straight to the point and lay her cards on the table with Shao Yang.

"Why aren't you dressed yet?" Li Ruoshui had just pulled on her jeans and was getting up when she saw that Shen Fanyun still hadn't moved. He even looked a little drowsy. This guy…

"I just finished tilling the field. Don't I get a break?" Shen Fanyun rolled his eyes in annoyance. Eventually, however, he got dressed under Li Ruoshui's forceful insistence.

Li Ruoshui could already hear footsteps approaching, so close they seemed to be right outside, separated only by the door. Knowing Shao Yang's shamelessness and his utter lack of boundaries, he would definitely try to poke his head in for a look. The man wasn't just obsessed with her; his possessiveness was also incredibly strong. In the past, he had even tried to restrict who she could be friends with. If she met someone new, she had to get his approval first. If Shao Yang took a disliking to someone, he would find ways to make trouble for them and ostracize them until they completely vanished from her world.

This had happened more than once without Li Ruoshui's knowledge. If she hadn't found out by chance, she never would have realized how petty and controlling Shao Yang was, or how he had sullied her reputation among her friends. It was after that incident that Shao Yang found an excuse to go on a study trip. He kept in touch with Li Ruoshui, though she remained indifferent in her responses. Just recently, Shao Yang had returned to Hangcheng City.

Li Ruoshui had suspected he would continue to pester her, but she hadn't expected that after years away, he hadn't matured at all. He still had no concept of respecting women. His stubbornness, aloofness, and arrogance—that was what Li Ruoshui disliked most about him!

"I'll go out and deal with him. You hurry up and tidy this place. And open a window to air it out," Li Ruoshui reminded him.

The dorm room was small, and after their recent intense activity, the air was a mixture of sweat, her perfume, and other scents. It would be horribly awkward if Shao Yang noticed something was off.

Shen Fanyun shook his head helplessly. What a rotten coincidence. He finally gets some alone time with Li Ruoshui, and some spoiler has to show up and ruin it.

Is today just a bad day to be out and about? Hmph. Once that guy leaves, I'll make Ruoshui compensate me properly.

"Ruoshui, what's taking you so long? Are you putting on makeup to make sure you look your best for me?"

"We haven't seen each other in a long time, but you don't have to be so formal. In my heart, you're always beautiful."

"Why is your face all flushed? Are you excited about our reunion after so long?"

"Ah, if I had known, I would have never left back then. I'm so sorry for making you wait all these years!"

Outside the room, Shao Yang's voice was a half-joking, half-serious patter.

Shen Fanyun was speechless.

Still a narcissist? This guy's words are making me cringe so hard I could throw up last night's dinner. What in the world is he on about? According to Li Ruoshui, she never liked him. At most, they were just childhood friends who got along reasonably well. After all these years, she must have clearly told him long ago that there was no romance between them. So why is this guy still living in his own little world? What was that about her face being flushed because she was excited to see *him*, Shao Yang?

"Don't just stand out there. Let's go inside to talk," Shao Yang prompted again.

Li Ruoshui finally spoke. "It's not polite to just barge into a girl's private room. Why don't we go for a walk outside?"

"I don't like guys in my room, Shao Yang. It doesn't matter who it is. Let's go downstairs to talk," Li Ruoshui stressed.

"Oh, come on, we've known each other for years. Why get hung up on that? I don't mind," Shao Yang replied. Incredibly thick-skinned, he ignored her refusal and pushed the door open.

Li Ruoshui was utterly bewildered.

Is this guy living in his own world? I clearly refused him. How could he twist it to sound like I was worried about *his* feelings, then top it off with 'I don't mind'?!

At that moment, Shen Fanyun finished putting on his shirt. He smoothed some mousse through his hair, combing it meticulously. His handsome face was a sharp contrast to Shao Yang, who had just entered.

"Ruoshui, your room smells so nice!" Shao Yang said with a smile. The next second, that smile vanished completely.

Dead silence.

Shao Yang, a man of average looks dressed in expensive clothes, stared intently at Shen Fanyun's face. He stood frozen for a long, long time.

Why is there a man in Li Ruoshui's dorm? How can there be a man here? Who is this man? Why don't I recognize him? I've never seen him before. What is his relationship with Li Ruoshui? Why did she bring a man into her private room without my permission? And how could I walk in on them like this?
