Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1561: Heartless Leng Qiuge

It's all about pride, isn't it? Saving face is ideal, but if it can't be done, what matters more than a man's life?

The last time I retreated without a word for the sake of pride and suffered for two months, this time I absolutely refuse to repeat my mistake!

With a conceited grin, Leng Qiuge set down her suitcase and hurried over to Lin Tong. "Little Tong, I was wrong. I apologize for meddling with your husband. You can name the punishment, be it killing or torture, but no matter what, I'm determined to have your husband. Likewise, I won't let you go as my best friend. This is my stance, and no one can sway me!"

Her declaration was bold, firm, and unyielding.

The nearby individuals who understood the Yan Country's language were utterly astonished.

What?

These two dazzling beauties are best friends?

Then, through a twist of fate, the alluring and sexy best friend slept with the cold and noble best friend's husband?

And now, this overtly charming best friend is openly challenging them?

She desires both the friend and the husband.

My goodness, what audacity!

And that drowsy fellow over there... friend, would you perhaps consider letting us take your place and ease your burden for a while?

It felt as if the entire world had fallen into a profound silence.

Leng Qiuge, having poured out her heart, felt an overwhelming sense of relief, as if she had been reborn, completely unburdened.

Everything had been laid bare.

The atmosphere in the entire departure lounge grew incredibly tense and peculiar.

Numerous gazes fixed upon the trio, filled with disbelief and mixed emotions; if they hadn't heard it themselves, it would have been nearly impossible to believe.

Confessions shared between best friends and the husband of one are indeed not unheard of in this world.

But for these two best friends to be so stunningly beautiful, it truly is an exceptional circumstance, isn't it?

As for Ye Xuan, he remained oblivious. From beginning to end, his head was bowed, appearing half-dead and drowsy, as if nothing in the world concerned him.

Carefree, in the typical Ye Xuan fashion...

"Ye Xuan, you scoundrel!"

This wasn't the first time Leng Liuge had silently cursed him in her heart; she silently vowed that one day Ye Xuan would face retribution.

Of course, that was a matter for the future.

What mattered now was that she had clearly conveyed her intentions. Regardless of what others might think, the outcome now depended entirely on Lin Tong's reaction.

Given Xiao Tong's personality, once this uncomfortable truth was revealed, would she erupt in fury like a thunderstorm? Or would she simply ignore it?

However, with everyone now aware of the situation, airing it out seemed far better than keeping it bottled up inside, wouldn't you agree?

The perceived 'script' was merely a facade. Stating things plainly appeared to be the least unfavorable option.

Thus, after her bold proclamation, Leng Liuge simply gazed at Lin Tong in silence, experiencing an unprecedented sense of lightness and liberation, akin to surviving a life-or-death ordeal.

Yet, she also felt an equally unprecedented nervousness, genuinely fearing that Lin Tong would publicly sever ties with her.

If it truly came to that, preserving their friendship might prove difficult. And given her own character, no matter how much she cared for Ye Xuan, she would likely harbor a lifelong resentment, wouldn't she?

In the profound silence that followed.

Lin Tong, her expressionless face suddenly shifting, raised her beautiful eyes and looked questioningly at Leng Liuge. Their gazes locked, and a spark seemed to ignite between them.

Leng Liuge's heart skipped a beat.

Lin Tong slowly furrowed her brow and inquired aloud, "You meddled with my husband? When did this happen?"

"Huh?"

Leng Liuge was instantly taken aback. Wasn't this something Lin Tong was already supposed to be aware of?

"Are you joking?" Lin Tong asked with amusement. "Didn't you once declare that you wouldn't lay a hand on my husband, not even if a pig learned to climb a tree?"

"I..."

Leng Liuge's face flushed crimson. She had indeed uttered such words. She recalled her initial strong dislike for Ye Xuan and, reflecting now, honestly... how fierce was youthful infatuation!

"Don't make such jokes next time," Lin Tong said calmly. "You know me. If I don't witness something with my own eyes, I won't believe anything without concrete proof. Your jests are meaningless to me."

Leng Liuge was utterly speechless.

Everyone else present was equally dumbfounded.

A few kind-hearted onlookers nearly felt compelled to rush forward and inform Lin Tong about Leng Liuge's affectionate gestures, such as kicking Ye Xuan or pinching his waist earlier.

As the saying goes, 'Hearing is not as good as seeing,' and there's truth to that sentiment.

However, my dear observer, that logic needs to be applied appropriately.

This pair clearly seems to be entangled in some sort of illicit affair. The person involved has even admitted it herself, yet you still refuse to believe? What kind of reasoning is that?

Only Leng Liuge, who knew Lin Tong well, after a moment of utter shock, began to comprehend quickly.

She grasped the deeper meaning hidden within Lin Tong's words.

The implication was straightforward: any entanglements or dramas unfolding between Leng Liuge and Ye Xuan were their private affair. As long as their actions didn't cross a certain line or become overtly shameless in her presence, Lin Tong would simply turn a blind eye and continue their cohabitation.

Did you want the man? Take him.

Did you want the friend? That was acceptable too!

A slight tug at the corner of her lips, Leng Liuge suddenly grasped the sheer brilliance of Lin Tong's approach.

It preserved their friendship, accommodated her involvement with Ye Xuan, and maintained the delicate status quo, leaving everything as it was!

This was a far superior outcome than the original scenario.

The so-called original plan essentially offered Leng Liuge an escape route but was destined to leave a lingering resentment in their hearts, foreshadowing future awkwardness and discomfort in their lives.

But would those issues persist now?

Her beautiful eyes shifted, and Leng Liuge offered a smile, proclaiming, "Little Tong, you're truly astute to have seen through it all! As always, you're the one who understands me best. No matter how I try, I can never fool you!"

Lin Tong remained composed, offering no words.

A flicker of awkwardness crossed Leng Liuge's face.

With a light chuckle, Leng Liuge playfully hopped over to Lin Tong's side, a grin on her face as she said, "Little Tong, if you truly believe there's nothing improper between me and your husband, why are you maintaining this cold shoulder? You weren't like this before!"

"And what do you expect?" Lin Tong retorted, her voice sharp. "You vanished without a word. We once vowed to face joys and sorrows together, a promise you discarded overnight. Now you reappear, expecting a warm reception?"

"Uh..."

Leng Liuge was momentarily speechless, her face etched with guilt. "I'm truly sorry. It was a lapse in judgment. You have no idea how much I've regretted my actions over these past few months!"

"Hmph."

Lin Tong let out a dismissive snort.

Leng Liuge quickly followed up, "I promise, this is the first and final time. I will never repeat such a mistake!"

"I'll take your word for it this time," Lin Tong stated, glancing at Leng Liuge. "What about your work in Barcelona? Leaving so abruptly, wasn't that rather irresponsible?"

"What's the big deal? At worst, it'll cost my family a bit of money, make my parents and brother sweat– it's nothing major!"

Leng Liuge waved her hand dismissively, her attitude even more nonchalant than Ye Xuan's.

Lin Tong: "..."
