Chapter Seventy-One: Where Will You Sleep Tonight

Ye Qian blushed and shook her head.

Long Fei believed her words. He was, after all, a normal man; if Ye Qian’s display couldn’t move him, that would be truly strange. He had to admit, he felt a certain temptation. In this era, finding a pure woman was as precious as spotting a giant panda, and a girl like Ye Qian, with no experience in love whatsoever, was even rarer—a treasure more valuable than Kung Fu Panda himself.

“In that case, how about this: let’s just take things slow and talk here for now. We’re together every day, so there’s plenty of time to cultivate feelings. But let me be clear—I’m not a good man. I’ve been with quite a few women before you, so don’t expect me to give them all up for just you. If that’s your condition, then there’s nothing more to discuss. I don’t want to be an irresponsible man,” Long Fei said, shameless as ever. He would never give up an entire forest for the sake of just one tree.

Ye Qian found his words hard to accept. For her, to love someone was to want to possess them completely—she had always believed that. But Long Fei’s warning caught her off guard, putting her in a dilemma. If she agreed, it would go against her heart; if she refused, she would lose this rare opportunity with Long Fei. If they became a couple, he could protect her for life—and, most importantly, help her with her figure.

Ye Qian was silent for a long moment. Long Fei should have felt relieved, since he had always been the one rejecting her, but for some reason, seeing her hesitate made him inexplicably nervous.

“Well, you said you wouldn’t be irresponsible. So in the future, you can’t be partial to anyone. If I ever catch you treating someone else better than me, I won’t let you off!” Ye Qian pinched his arm hard, then broke into a teary smile.

Long Fei regretted it a little. This woman was a tigress by nature—he hadn’t even agreed yet, and she was already this fierce. If he ever did something to betray her, would she creep up at night, scissors in hand, and make him regret it forever?

He wiped his brow and quickly said, “No, no, if we really become a couple, I wouldn’t do that.”

“What did you say? Didn’t you just agree?” Ye Qian’s face changed.

Long Fei hastily explained, “Did I? Alright then, so now you’re my girlfriend?”

Ye Qian nodded, then shook her head.

“What do you mean?” Long Fei was puzzled.

“It can’t be that easy. You have to pursue me. When I feel like you’re sincere enough, I’ll agree!” Ye Qian’s eyes sparkled. She had never been in love before, and now she was full of fantasies. In her mind, falling in love meant the boy had to chase after the girl passionately, and then, in some public place, present her with flowers and kneel to ask her to be his girlfriend. That, to her, was romance.

This girl had clearly watched too many Korean dramas—daydreaming in broad daylight!

Long Fei could only shake his head. Women’s thoughts were truly unfathomable; there was no way to predict them with common sense.

“Well, in that case, forget it. I don’t chase after girls.” Long Fei stood up. After all, she wasn’t crying anymore and even looked happy. Let her dream on—no, it wasn’t even daytime; let her continue her beautiful dreams tonight.

“Don’t you dare!” Ye Qian suddenly became fierce. When Long Fei frowned, she realized she couldn’t act like a savage girlfriend, so she blinked, squeezed out a few more tears, and prepared to wail. This trick had worked earlier; maybe it would work again.

“Alright, alright, I give in! I’ll do whatever you want, okay?” Seeing her about to cry again, Long Fei really surrendered. If this went on, dawn would break before they finished. He had no way to deal with her—how could he possibly get rough with a girl who looked so pitiful and tear-streaked?

Ye Qian still looked unconvinced. She stopped crying but kept an expression that said she could start again at any moment. “Really? You’re not lying to me?”

“Really, I’m not lying!” Long Fei replied gloomily. “Now please, get up. I’m begging you!”

“Alright then, since you’re so sincere, I’ll agree to let you court me. But from now on, you have to stop calling me Ye Qian or Miss Ye!” She obediently took his hand and stood, but pouted as she spoke.

A woman’s mood could change even faster than the weather in June. She had been crying just a moment ago, but now she was all smiles, acting so sweet that it made Long Fei’s hair stand on end.

With a wry smile, Long Fei, for the first time, found himself cornered and at a loss by a woman. “So, what should I call you then?”

“I don’t care, you figure it out!” Ye Qian pulled Long Fei to sit with her on the sofa.

It looked like she was planning to talk with him all night—by candlelight, perhaps?

Long Fei was tired. He chuckled. “It’s really late. Why don’t you go to bed? I need to sleep too.”

Ye Qian asked cautiously, “Where do you plan to sleep?”

Long Fei glanced at Yang Danni’s door. His keen hearing caught her steady breathing—she was sound asleep. He wanted to go sleep with her; if he suggested some action, Yang Danni would surely comply obediently until morning.

But seeing the obvious jealousy in Ye Qian’s eyes, Long Fei quickly said, “I’ll sleep alone in my own room, I’ll sleep alone.”

To his surprise, Ye Qian still looked a little disappointed, which left Long Fei stunned. Did she actually want to sleep with him? Was he really this lucky?

“No way!” Ye Qian suddenly declared.

Long Fei’s heart leapt. He thought she’d invite him to her room, so he stared suggestively at her chest, thinking perhaps it was time to help her with her figure. The herbal remedies worked, but a massage was so much more effective.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Pervert!” Ye Qian said, feeling embarrassed under his gaze.

“Heh, is that so? Then tell me, why not?” Long Fei nearly laughed aloud. He couldn’t be blamed for this; she was the one making the first move. Sorry, Yu Fei, Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Ye—this is beyond my control!

Ye Qian lifted her head, suddenly anxious. “Help me with my bust!”

“Bust? Sure, let’s go, let’s get on the bed and do it right now,” Long Fei said, swallowing hard.
