After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 254

When Guo Yalan said that, Qi Li's expression suddenly changed, as if he was worried that Guo Yalan would make things difficult for Han Ziyu.

But then he thought about how Guo Yalan was doing this for him, and Qi Li couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

"Guo Yalan, I don't like you being so pushy," Qi Li said, lifting his chin. "And why are you involving my people?"

Guo Yalan remained expressionless and gave him the middle finger twice.

Qi Li's veins bulged, but he felt even more smug inside. Suddenly, he heard laughter behind him and quickly turned around in surprise, but Han Ziyu stopped laughing just as quickly.

Han Ziyu immediately stepped forward and said to Guo Yalan, "We have a dedicated rest area here, please…"

Before Qi Li could react, Guo Yalan had already walked away quickly with Han Ziyu.

"Han Ziyu, are you crazy? You…"

"Please go back, Qi Shao, this party is your event," Han Ziyu said without looking back.

By the time Qi Li wanted to catch up and interfere, they had already boarded the elevator.

Qi Li was stunned.

What was going on? Shouldn't he be there at a time like this?

Han Ziyu was really stupid. What if Guo Yalan hit her? How would he protect her if he wasn't there?

Qi Li felt annoyed and angry, not wanting to care about Han Ziyu anymore. But he couldn't let it go either, feeling very conflicted, as he still wasn't clear about what he wanted.

Turning back to the party, he couldn't help but want to hint to Ji Fei, who had been protecting Han Ziyu. Maybe Guo Yalan would give Ji Fei face.

But as soon as he returned, Qi Li locked eyes with Ji Fei and Qin Xian in the pool.

Their looks at him were strangely eerie.

Qi Li walked straight up and said, "Hey, Ji Fei. Your little fan was taken away by Guo Yalan for a private chat, probably to be bullied."

Ji Fei opened her mouth, and Qi Li thought she was hesitating whether to intervene or not. But Qin Xian heard Ji Fei's inner thoughts, filled with a thousand curses, unsure where to start.

"Right, just now Sister Yalan said she and Ziyu hit it off and wanted to get along better."

"Ah?" Qi Li scoffed, "You actually believe that?"

"Why wouldn't I? Didn't Sister Yalan just keep defending Ziyu? Have you lost your memory? How could you think Sister Yalan would make things difficult for Ziyu?"

Qi Li was stunned, feeling his good intentions were being mocked. He wanted to say more, but saw Ji Fei give a fake smile, "Oh no, oh no, you don't think they're fighting over you, do you? Hahaha, you're thinking too much."

Qi Li: ...

What does that mean? Aren't they fighting over him? What do you mean I'm thinking too much?

He wanted to refute, but recalling previous events, he suddenly lost his confidence. But Qi Shao never lost his bravado, at least not in words.

"You don't understand, so don't talk nonsense."

Ji Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "You can rest assured, I think she treats Ziyu better than you, right, honey? Don't you think so too?"

Ji Fei pulled Qin Xian in to add credibility.

Qi Li indeed looked over unconfidently, and Qin Xian naturally nodded, as it was the truth.

Qi Li's expression cracked for a moment.

Suddenly, he blurted out, "Could it be that she likes…"

Qi Li immediately shut his mouth, looking somewhat panicked.

Ji Fei and Qin Xian: ...

Ji Fei: [Wait, the 'likes' Qi Li just blurted out doesn't seem to be the kind of 'likes' I think? Has he misunderstood something? Has his imagination gone that far?]

Qin Xian was also shocked, his mouth twitching, as he sensed that Qi Li meant exactly that, though he seemed to have snapped back to reality now.

[That's right, Guo Yalan once said she wasn't fixed on her orientation, that she might fall in love with a woman too, although she had never tried it, so Qi Li forgot about it. And today, Guo Yalan was clearly different with Han Ziyu. That's why Qi Li suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of crisis, though he doesn't seem to think so now. Well… such a big imagination.]

Qi Li stopped himself because he suddenly thought, how absurd could it be? Even if she liked women, she wouldn't like someone who looks so much like him, it would be too uncomfortable. He felt his mind was messed up by the strange harmony between the two.

Qi Li wanted to bother Ji Fei again.

But Ji Fei didn't want to be harassed anymore, so she pulled Qin Xian and swam to the middle of the pool.

She grabbed a giant inflatable ring, climbed on it, and Qin Xian stayed below with her.

Ji Fei continued to enjoy the drama.

She was curious how Guo Yalan would handle this situation.

After Guo Yalan was taken away by Han Ziyu from Qi Li, Han Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively thanked her.

"It seems I didn't do anything wrong. You didn't like him treating you that way," Guo Yalan said directly.

Han Ziyu immediately nodded, "Of course, I didn't like it."

Guo Yalan smiled, "Luckily, I was worried that because of Qi Li's stupidity, you'd have a grudge against me."

Han Ziyu instantly understood, it was about the stand-in matter.

Han Ziyu awkwardly scratched her head, "Don't be disgusted with me. I really don't like him, I swear!"

"Now I completely believe it. Luckily, you don't like him, otherwise…"

Han Ziyu immediately looked nervously at Guo Yalan. Sure enough, Guo Yalan still cared…

"Otherwise, I really would have to send you to an ophthalmologist and then recommend you a hundred handsome men. I don't believe I can't change your taste in men."

"Pfft!" Han Ziyu really couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Actually, at this point, Guo Yalan's words were a bit too much for their current relationship.

But Guo Yalan said it naturally, and Han Ziyu didn't feel strange about it.

"Then why did you agree to be a stand-in in the first place?" Guo Yalan continued to ask, genuinely concerned.

Han Ziyu didn't know how to explain. After being harassed by Qi Li for so long, she might as well break the contract.

But once the contract was broken, what if she got sued? The money had already been used for the orphanage.

These young masters and gentlemen, she really couldn't afford to offend them. She wasn't the type to beg Ji Fei and Guo Yalan for help just because they treated her a little better.

So she had to choose to endure.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Guo Yalan directly say, "Could it be for the money?!"

Han Ziyu was shocked, and her reaction immediately made Guo Yalan understand.

Guo Yalan's face darkened, but she still asked respectfully, "Was it voluntary?"

There was nothing to hide about this, so Han Ziyu nodded frankly, it was just a job after all.

In a sense, if Qi Li hadn't acted crazy later, it would have been a help to her in an emergency. So Han Ziyu's repeated tolerance wasn't entirely because of the contract, but also because she didn't want her former boss to lose face. After all, one should be grateful.

Guo Yalan actually cursed Qi Li a thousand times in her heart, but she understood that if it was for money, there must be a reason, so she couldn't blame Qi Li.

She had to swallow her anger.

"So, Miss Guo doesn't like…" Suddenly, Han Ziyu cautiously said.

"What did you call me?"

Seeing Guo Yalan's slightly narrowed eyes, Han Ziyu immediately became obedient, "Sister Yalan."

When Guo Yalan heard the word "Sister" come out of Han Ziyu's mouth, she felt a shiver of pleasure.

Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and while talking, she reached out and casually took a strand of Han Ziyu's hair.
