AMRWFA -Chapter 223 Betrayal

“You called me?”

Tu Yuyan was a little confused when she was suddenly asked out.

Although the two were engaged, their relationship wasn’t particularly intimate. They wouldn’t usually look for each other without a reason.

She had her own life, and he had his work—they were both busy in their own ways.

Situ Ruiwen said, “Did Gao Yousheng come to see you yesterday?”

“You already know?” Tu Yuyan felt slightly disappointed. “What did he tell you? That I’m vulgar and unreasonable, or that I’m just making trouble for no reason?”

“I haven’t met him yet. I heard about it from somewhere else. Before we talk about that, I want to tell you something else first. You should be mentally prepared.”

Tu Yuyan frowned. “What is it?”

“Do you remember our three rules from before?”

Tu Yuyan became alert. “Which rule did you break?”

“I was set up. And it wasn’t just anyone—it was my best friend who set me up…”

“You’re talking about Gao Yousheng, aren’t you?” As far as Tu Yuyan knew, the person closest to her fiancé was him.

Before their engagement, Situ Ruiwen had formally introduced her to Gao Yousheng.

Because of that, she knew just how close the two were.

If it weren’t for the fact that Situ Ruiwen had a past with women—and that they had already been intimate after the engagement—and that he was very passionate with her in bed, she might have even suspected something between those two.

Situ Ruiwen nodded heavily. “I was drinking with him. Normally I’d stay alert and not let myself get drunk, but yesterday…”

“You’re not going to tell me you got drunk and slept with him by mistake, are you?!”

What the hell!

Don’t joke about that!

Bro!

We’ve already slept together!

Situ Ruiwen’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t expected her imagination to be this wild. “No. It wasn’t him. It was someone else.”

“A man or a woman?”

“A woman.”

Tu Yuyan immediately sighed in relief.

Her reaction made Situ Ruiwen’s expression darken. He stared at her and said through gritted teeth, “Are you suspecting that I’m gay?”

Tu Yuyan felt a little embarrassed. “You can’t blame me. You and Gao Yousheng are too close. You do everything together. It’s normal I’d overthink.”

“Have I not satisfied you in bed?” he said angrily.

They were both adults, both had past relationships, and since they were already engaged, there was no reason to hold back anymore.

If she agreed, he wouldn’t restrain himself either.

In bed, he had done everything he could to satisfy her—and of course, he was also very satisfied with her. Even if there wasn’t intense love between them, their compatibility in that area alone made the marriage worth it.

A beautiful fiancée, great compatibility in bed, and a strong family background—no matter how he looked at it, he was the one benefiting.

If it weren’t for what happened yesterday, he wouldn’t have even considered that he would abandon such a compatible relationship for some ridiculous “forced pregnancy marriage scheme.”

Did he look like such a traditional man?

“No, no…” Tu Yuyan quickly waved her hands.

She was very satisfied with him. Otherwise, with so many outstanding men around, she wouldn’t have chosen him.

Even if it was a business engagement, she had still chosen carefully—not just anyone could make her agree.

She chose him because he was young, handsome, capable, and seemed like a good future father for her children.

Others choose husbands; Tu Yuyan chose a father for her child.

She didn’t know whether it was the more serious “male-male implication” in the background, or simply that their relationship hadn’t reached that stage yet—but hearing that Situ Ruiwen had been set up and slept with a woman didn’t make her furious. She just felt a bit uncomfortable, not enough to explode.

She quickly changed the topic.

“Your friend really went too far. If he did this on purpose, was he trying to make me angry so I’d break off the engagement? But if that’s the case, what would he gain? Wouldn’t it benefit him more if you kept doing well?”

“That woman is his beloved.”

Tu Yuyan was confused. “His beloved? He sent his beloved to your bed? Are you sure? Don’t tell me he actually likes you but knows you’re not gay, so he deliberately had a woman sleep with you first, and then he’d sleep with that woman afterward…”

Situ Ruiwen looked at her in silence.

He had no idea his fiancée’s imagination was so… strange.

The fortune-teller said it was his beloved. His friend was just a hopelessly infatuated fool who, for the sake of the woman he loved, was willing to personally send her into another man’s bed.

But he had signed a confidentiality agreement, so he couldn’t explain everything clearly.

Forget it. She would understand once she met that person in a few days.

Situ Ruiwen said, “I can’t explain it clearly. Just know that she’s his beloved. He sent her to my bed so she could get pregnant and then force me into a shotgun marriage.”

Tu Yuyan: “……”

The more he said it, the more she felt like Gao Yousheng might actually be in love with him.

Maybe that woman had already slept with both of them, and he thought the child was his and Situ Ruiwen’s.

Ignoring her strange look, Situ Ruiwen continued: “I called you here today to explain things clearly so you don’t hear nonsense from others later and misunderstand me. I’ve never regretted our engagement. I do want to marry you and build a family together. That’s a decision I made after careful thought. Even now, I still hope we can walk through life together. Of course, I will fully respect your wishes. If you feel uncomfortable because I was set up, you can end the engagement.”

End the engagement?

Tu Yuyan hesitated.

If Situ Ruiwen had cheated willingly or even accidentally, she would definitely end it. She wasn’t short of suitors—there was no need to stay tied to him.

But…

He had been framed. By his so-called best friend, no less. And he was honestly telling her everything.

She felt a little uncertain.

Putting that aside, she was actually quite satisfied with him.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, “How are you going to deal with those two?”

“I’ll find them and make things clear. First, I need to confirm whether Qu Shiyi is pregnant—I don’t want an illegitimate child showing up later. Second, I’ll cut ties with Gao Yousheng. Our years of friendship aren’t worth more than a woman. If he could betray me once, he might do it again.”

He would not allow himself to step into the same trap twice.

“You know this engagement isn’t just between us,” Tu Yuyan said slowly. “Whether we break it off or not, it’s not just our decision. I’ll have to explain it to my parents. How are you going to explain it?”

“Truthfully. I was stupid and got set up. If you want to break off the engagement, that’s understandable. If uncle and aunt are angry, they should blame me. It has nothing to do with you.”

Tu Yuyan’s eyes lit up instantly.

What a man.

Even after being framed, he wasn’t trying to drag her into it.

What a pity…
