"What did you say?" Wen Rou was stunned.

"I asked if you've ever been bullied by Ye Chen?" Chu Aozhi said.

Wen Rou: "..."

"Wen Rou, what's wrong with you?" Chu Aozhi asked curiously.

She was just casually joking, but Wen Rou seemed uneasy. There's something going on here, isn't there?!

"Why are you asking this?" Wen Rou sighed deeply.

Wen Rou wasn't harmed by Ye Chen, but it was pretty close.

The kind of harm Chu Aozhi was referring to was only physical.

Wen Rou's body hadn't been harmed by Ye Chen, but her spirit had been tormented.

In the years Ye Chen was gone, Wen Rou lived like her soul was missing, as if life had no meaning.

This wasn't physical harm, but it was much more severe!

However, very few people knew about this—besides Ye Chen and a few women like Su Binglan, almost no one knew.

How could Chu Aozhi know?

"I just asked casually as a joke, why are you so serious?" Wen Rou's seriousness made Chu Aozhi raise her eyebrows, as if realizing something.

"Uh."

Wen Rou blinked, realizing she was overthinking it.

But, being smart and shrewd, she knew her lapse had aroused Chu Aozhi's suspicions, so she wanted to make amends.

"Wen Rou, you've known Ye Chen for a while, do you honestly have no connections?" Sure enough, as Wen Rou expected, Chu Aozhi began probing her.

"What do you want to know?" Wen Rou's expression changed, as if there was some unspeakable secret.

"Ye Chen loves beautiful women so much, did he ever…" Chu Aozhi trailed off.

"He didn't do anything to me, but I…" Wen Rou spoke vaguely, piquing curiosity.

"What about you?" Chu Aozhi's eyes lit up, getting closer to the truth!

"Actually, I'm very afraid to see Ye Chen, because I caught him with Su Binglan!" Wen Rou hesitated.

"Caught them together?"

"Can you describe it in more detail and clearly?" Chu Aozhi asked curiously.

"I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone else!" Wen Rou said.

"Don't worry!" Chu Aozhi assured. "Once you tell me, it'll rot in my stomach!"

"Alright, I'll tell you!" Wen Rou said. "Actually, neither Su Binglan nor Ye Chen have any shame, because as soon as they started dating, they moved in together…"

"..."

Wen Rou, turning into a grand storyteller, spun a tale so elaborate that it left Chu Aozhi dumbfounded.

However, Chu Aozhi wasn't easily deceived, suspecting that Wen Rou's story was exaggerated.

"That's how it is, so I fear Ye Chen and have been avoiding him!" Wen Rou said. "But he's our boss, I can't avoid him at all!"

"Why are you avoiding him?" Chu Aozhi asked. "You saw them doing wrong, but didn't join in. What are you afraid of?"

Actually, Wen Rou's words were quite convincing. Even if Chu Aozhi didn't believe it all, she believed most of it.

"You haven't experienced a scene like that, you can't possibly understand the embarrassment!" Wen Rou acted all conflicted, performing convincingly.

"True!" Chu Aozhi listened, her face almost blushing, imagining Wen Rou's embarrassment.

If Ye Chen and Su Binglan were caught doing something wrong, she'd probably be left in shock!

To think Wen Rou saw that scene and not only survived it, but thrived over the years—it earned Chu Aozhi's admiration.

"Chu Aozhi, how many boyfriends do you have?" Wen Rou suddenly asked. "You have so many scandals, which are real and which are fake?"

Chu Aozhi was the Chu Family's pearl, and one of the four beauties in the capital, with countless suitors.

However, her love life was always a mystery. She never publicly acknowledged any relationship, just endless rumors!

"Can I not say?" Chu Aozhi laughed, a bit embarrassed.

"No!" Wen Rou said. "I shared a secret with you, you have to share one with me too!"

"Why this back-and-forth? We're not kids playing house." Chu Aozhi said with some exasperation.

"Are you going to talk or not?" Wen Rou seemed upset.

"I'll talk!" Chu Aozhi quickly said, seeing Wen Rou getting mad. "Actually, I don't have a single boyfriend, I've never dated because those men aren't worthy of me!"

"Impossible!" Wen Rou exclaimed immediately. "You have so many rumors, and you dare say you've never dated?"

Su Binglan was also one of the four beauties, but she was dauntingly strong in character, impossible to handle!

However, Chu Aozhi was different; she was a true goddess, driving men crazy!

In Chu Aozhi's limited life, she got entangled with countless men, some wealthy young masters, some young talents, even male celebrities…

Anyway, Chu Aozhi had so many scandals, it was too many to count!

So in Wen Rou's mind, Chu Aozhi was quite experienced!

But then Chu Aozhi suddenly claimed she'd never dated, isn't this a trick?

"I'm really not lying!" Chu Aozhi said. "The rumors you've heard are unreliable. I have nothing with those men!"

Chu Aozhi knew her scandalous rumors were many, but she didn't care. Life needs some fame, some legend!

"Who would believe that!" Wen Rou said, scornfully.

"You don't believe it?" Chu Aozhi furrowed her brows. "Those rumors talk about me having dinner, going out, and chatting with men! Do they say I held hands, kissed, or shared a room with them?"

"Uh." Wen Rou was stunned. It seemed this hadn't been the case—was she truly innocent?
