Chapter 85: Are You Afraid We’ll Team Up Against You?

The next morning, the ship was filled with passengers and set sail towards the mainland at sunrise.

After about two hours, they arrived at the mainland airport.

Fang Zhou checked in and boarded the flight to the capital.

Once he was seated, he put on an eye mask, wore his headphones, and played soothing music, finally allowing himself to relax.

Recalling the events of the previous night, Fang Zhou still felt a lingering fear.

He had returned to his room to pack and sleep.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Opening it, he found Chu Xinran and Han Xi standing coldly outside.

Fang Zhou’s heart sank; sensing trouble, he considered escaping.

But they each blocked one side, leaving him no room to close the door.

Helpless, he let them in.

“Do you need something?”

Fang Zhou tried to gauge their attitude, but neither answered directly. One looked at him coldly, while the other appeared pitiful.

Since they weren’t speaking, Fang Zhou could only guess.

The worst-case scenario was that they knew each other’s identities, but why bring this up without reason?

Moreover, shouldn’t they both detest him as their ex-boyfriend, finding it uncomfortable to even mention him?

Finally, Han Xi broke the silence.

“How many ex-girlfriends do you have?”

Fang Zhou was stunned. So it was about this.

He had known that joining this romance show, meeting so many ex-girlfriends, would eventually get him into trouble. That day had come.

Chu Xinran also looked at him pitifully, her big watery eyes blinking, calling him.

“Fang Zhou gege, besides Han Xi jiejie and me, are there others?”

Her tone was soft, yet it gave the impression that if he dared to say yes, she would die right there.

And Chu Xinran was indeed capable of such a thing!

Fang Zhou’s scalp tightened, and he quickly shook his head to deny it: “No, no!”

But before you two and after, I can’t guarantee there were none.

He silently added in his heart.

Two ex-girlfriends cornering him, this was truly thrilling.

Upon receiving Fang Zhou’s affirmative answer, both girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

No others meant he wasn’t overly promiscuous.

Han Xi sat in a chair, tapping her fingers on her knee, her expression cold as she continued, “If we hadn’t found out ourselves, how long were you planning to hide it?”

The authoritative aura of the CEO made Fang Zhou unconsciously feel like he was in a weaker position.

It reminded him of the fear of being controlled by a tyrannical boss during his internship at her company.

He wanted to tell the truth: as long as you don’t find out, I’ll never tell you.

Who in their right mind would mention another ex-girlfriend in front of one?

Did they think he was flawless in their eyes, beyond reproach?

“I just thought the past is the past, no need to bring it up.”

As soon as Fang Zhou said this, he realized he had misspoken upon seeing their reactions.

Han Xi’s expression turned even colder, her voice stern, “You mean we aren’t worth mentioning?”

When she got angry, her tone alone was intimidating.

In the past, Fang Zhou would have quickly apologized and comforted her.

Now, he glanced at Chu Xinran.

She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with tears, looking like a bullied kitten ready to complain.

“Fang Zhou gege, do you think dating us is shameful?”

Her mouth quivered, and she spoke up.

Fang Zhou felt a headache coming on and quickly slapped himself twice.

“Of course not, I’m more afraid you’d hate me, why would I think that way!”

Han Xi sneered, her tone icy, “Aren’t you afraid we’ll team up against you?”

Oh boy, women are terrifying when they’re angry!

Their sixth sense was so accurate, it was like they could read his mind.

He smiled awkwardly, feeling cold sweat on his back. “Of course not.”

Of course, you could. After all, you’re blocking my door together.

“You two are beautiful and kind-hearted, how could you do something so cruel?”

One of you is a business tycoon, the other a fierce yandere, would you really not do it?

“Then why did you join the romance show?”

Chu Xinran finally hit the mark, a question Fang Zhou could answer.

He spread his hands, smiling helplessly.

“Because there’s a reward.”

Standing before him were a billionaire CEO and the adopted daughter of a city’s richest man. Could they understand his desperation for fifty thousand?

Clearly, they couldn’t.

Han Xi frowned, scrutinizing him, “Are you in need of money?”

She couldn’t believe Fang Zhou was in financial trouble.

When they were together, Fang Zhou never asked for anything despite her status.

On the contrary, he provided the best within his means, even though his gifts were worth less than one of her bags.

Still, she didn’t think he was poor, especially since his streaming data seemed decent.

Chu Xinran felt the same.

Raised by a wealthy family, she couldn’t imagine Fang Zhou joining a show for tens of thousands, putting his love life in a semi-fake reality show.

“If you needed money, you could have told me.”

Chu Xinran felt wronged, blaming Fang Zhou for not coming to her.

If he had, she wouldn’t have needed the show to see him.

Fang Zhou knew they’d react this way, so he smiled and declined their probing and help.

“No need, I’m having fun here with food and drinks.”

Borrowing money from ex-girlfriends? That would be asking for trouble.

Thus, Han Xi and Chu Xinran stayed in Fang Zhou’s room, questioning him until midnight. Finally, they asked the most lethal question.

“Who do you plan to choose in the end?”

Fang Zhou’s face turned cold, and he ushered them out.

“I have my freedom; don’t ask that.”

As he closed the door, their murderous looks haunted him, keeping him awake till late.

If this was just two of them, what if all four came? He feared he’d really be torn apart.
