Right in Qin Danni's sweet spot, she thought she had an underground relationship with Fang Hao. I could almost picture her shy demeanor even through the phone.
Before long, Qin Danni posted an update on her social media: "Going public with my boyfriend! I don't want him to feel wronged, hehe." This post wasn't hidden from me, which meant she was ready to confront me openly.
Many colleagues commented with their blessings, but her devoted admirer Liu Wei was notably absent. On the day of the birthday party, Xiao Wu spread the news about my live stream. Qin Danni must have known; she was eager to bring Fang Hao in front of everyone and declare her claim.
She wasn't afraid because she understood me. In the past, I might have endured it, but now—
The only one who understood me was the person I used to be.
When everyone had arrived, Fang Hao and Qin Danni were still missing. I had separated from Fang Hao, and he had just messaged me saying he was blocked by Qin Danni downstairs and would be up shortly.
Five minutes later, Fang Hao arrived, carrying a gift bag. Everyone assumed he was Qin Danni's boyfriend. He scanned the room and was about to walk toward me when Qin Danni hugged him from behind.
Fang Hao jumped as if startled by a ghost and shook her off. "What are you doing?!"
He quickly retreated to my side, looking terrified as he explained, "Wife, I didn't do anything; she jumped on me."
The curious gazes of everyone shifted back and forth between me and Fang Hao.
"Ahao, why are you calling her 'wife'? Didn't you break up?" Qin Danni nearly blurted out.
“Wait a minute…” Liu Wei suddenly interjected, “Qin Dani mentioned in her social circle that she’s introducing her boyfriend today. Could it be you?”
Fang Hao frowned and leaned closer to me. “Do I look like it? I don’t even know who she is. Just now, she handed me something at the door, and I thought it was a gift for my girlfriend, so I brought it in.”
“You don’t know who I am?!” Qin Danni shouted from the doorway, ready to rush over.
“Ahao, it’s me, Qin Dani! Didn’t we confirm our relationship the day before yesterday? How come you’re with Qian Qian?!”
The way she said it made it sound like I had seduced Fang Hao. Sure enough, Liu Wei was foolish enough to think that way.
“Yao Qianqian, are you done yet?”
“What, do you have to compete with Qin Dani for everything? Even her boyfriend? Do you think just because you took him, it’s over? Your character is really lacking!”
“Last time when Qin Dani was drunk, you didn’t go pick her up, which led to her going to the hospital. You even took her place as a host, and now you’ve handed her work over to Xiao Wu!”
“And you used your joint account to help Xiao Wu promote a perfume ad. What were you thinking?”
“Now look at this, your morals are in shambles, and you’re trying to steal her boyfriend too!”
I didn’t want to engage with Liu Wei; it was rare to see someone so pathetic. I turned my attention back to Qin Danni and began to steer the conversation.
“You said you’re together with him? When did this happen? Be clear about it.”
“The day before yesterday! After the party, he came to the company saying he wanted to meet the person who gave him a gift. That’s when we confirmed our relationship!”
Qin Danni’s eyes flickered as she looked at Fang Hao expectantly, worried that I might expose them.
She quickly threw out an unimportant point:
"You and Ahao were together before, but that's in the past. We’ve broken up, and I’m in a normal relationship with him now."
She took a deep breath and walked towards me with a stiff smile.
"Qian Qian, I know you like Ahao, but you two are history now. Can’t you just let it go?"
I seized on the key point: "The person who gave the gift? What gift?"
She hurriedly snatched the gift box from Fang Hao's hands.
"This! This is for him!"
Qin Danni was getting anxious, following my lead.
No matter how she argued, she was bound to lose this round.
Denying it would mean a mental breakdown, while admitting it would mean she was intruding.
She still thought I didn’t know about her private contact with Fang Hao.
That’s fine; I would take my time.
I smiled and opened the gift, revealing a bottle of perfume.
