"Qi Lin, you’re young and full of energy, and it's normal for you to want a girlfriend since you've been exposed to all sorts of things too early."
"But as you can see, I already have a boyfriend…"
Qi Lin cut her off. "Stop lying to yourself. That Jiang Lei is just your business partner, not your boyfriend. Do you think I’m blind?"
Qi Xueyao: "…"
At that mont, she regretted not agreeing to be Jiang Lei’s girlfriend sooner.
"How about this? I have so classmates who are just as pretty as I am. Give a few days, and I’ll introduce you to a girlfriend, okay?"
Qi Xueyao was testing the waters.
Qi Lin was indeed a scoundrel, but he was undeniably handso and rich. If she found so girls willing to be with him, she could shift his attention elsewhere.
Although it felt a little immoral, wasn’t it better for Qi Lin to ss with other girls instead of her?
It just proved that Qi Xueyao wasn’t as righteous as she seed. She simply hid her darker side well enough that others couldn’t see it.
"Sure."
Qi Lin was montarily stunned by her suggestion, but then he smiled and agreed.
Qi Xueyao was delighted.
Before she could say anything else, Qi Lin continued, "Just follow your own standards and find a girlfriend. But until then, you have to fill in for her. You’ll act as my girlfriend every day, and when you finally introduce to soone, I’ll return you to Jiang Lei."
"Pfft!"
Qi Xueyao had already seen how shaless Qi Lin could be, but she had still underestimated him.
What did he an by acting as his girlfriend until she found soone else?
Did that make her so kind of temporary plaything?
At this point, Qi Xueyao realized Qi Lin wasn’t negotiating—he was toying with her.
She gave up pretending and let her disgust show openly.
"You really are shaless. You’re young, yet you already know how to bully won. You're nothing but a disgusting rich brat. I’d rather kiss a beggar than let you touch !"
"You can forget it. If you want to call my parents, go ahead! At worst, I’ll go back to Huayuan City and marry so random guy just to get away from you. At least then I won’t have to suffer under you every day!"
Qi Xueyao’s face was filled with anger as she glared at Qi Lin.
But Qi Lin didn’t believe her bluff.
She was already a college graduate, far more mature than Wang Siling or Lan Yuxi.
Right now, she was betting that Qi Lin wouldn’t completely tear things apart with her.
She thought he still had feelings for her, and as long as he did, he wouldn’t call her parents and make things irreversible.
"Tsk, tsk. You’re acting so tough, like you’re really not afraid."
"Are you really willing to give up your business just when it’s starting to take off? Those students were all praising your teaching. Tomorrow, they’ll be coming back to enroll. Just imagine all that money rolling in."
"Are you really willing to throw away your dream of expanding your training center into a full-fledged education company?"
"Don’t you want to beco a powerful businesswoman, standing before thousands, receiving their admiration?"
"And what about your business partner from college? Are you really okay with abandoning him and breaking his heart?"
Qi Lin was ruthless.
Qi Xueyao had just steeled her resolve, swearing that no matter how Qi Lin threatened her, she would never give in.
But in the next second, he attacked the deepest desires in her heart, magnifying her ambitions and weaknesses.
Her once firm determination wavered again. Pain flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing her struggle, Qi Lin knew it was ti for the final push.
"Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to be heartless. After all, our fathers are friends."
He waved his hand dismissively, acting as if he were backing down.
Qi Xueyao was startled, then a flicker of hope appeared in her eyes.
Had Qi Lin suddenly grown a conscience and decided to let her go?
"I won’t kiss you. But if you kiss on the cheek, I’ll keep your secret and won’t tell Uncle and Auntie."
Qi Lin sighed dramatically.
Hearing this, Qi Xueyao’s anger flared up again.
But then, she processed his words—just a kiss on the cheek? That wasn’t her first kiss.
She had fought so hard, only to be offered a far lighter condition.
Her heart wavered.
Qi Xueyao was smart and determined, but Qi Lin wasn’t going to give her the ti to carefully weigh her options.
"If it’s still too much, forget it. It’s not like you like . Why should I help you? I might as well call Uncle and have him take you back. That way, I won’t have to see you again and won’t have to think about you anymore."
Qi Lin pulled out his phone and started dialing.
"I’ll do it!"
Qi Xueyao had fallen into his trap. Her face turned a soft shade of pink as she quickly snatched the phone from his hand.
