Liu Shiyu didn’t refute him, though she was slightly moved inside. She had thought that after she rejected Qin Xiao yesterday, he had left and planned to completely forget about it. She didn’t expect he wasn’t like what she had imagined.
Liu Shiyu let the person from Qin Group in, only to see that it was Qin Xiao. “Qin Xiao? Why is it you?”
Both Liu Shiyu and Xu Lin looked at him in surprise. They had thought it was someone else from Qin Group.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, “What? You seem surprised.”
Liu Shiyu shook her head. “The front desk said someone from Qin Group was here, so I thought it was someone else. Since it’s you, why pretend to be from Qin Group?”
“I was worried you wouldn’t see me otherwise. Plus, my brother’s company name is quite handy—it really opens doors.”
His explanation left Liu Shiyu speechless, with a helpless yet amused expression. But inside, she didn’t feel any dislike—on the contrary, she thought Qin Xiao was kind of funny. Xu Lin felt the same.
Xu Lin couldn’t help teasing, “Young Master Qin, you’re living the life. We’re here overwhelmed with work, and you still have time to stroll around. Having a capable brother really makes a difference!”
Qin Xiao glanced at her. Although her figure wasn’t as standard as Liu Shiyu’s and had a bit more flesh, she didn’t appear chubby at all. On the contrary, she was incredibly curvy and sexy.
Especially that even more exaggerated figure compared to Liu Shiyu’s, along with equally striking looks, stirred Qin Xiao’s excitement.
This type—someone a little older—was known to be very… functional.
Whether it was the feel or the…
Emmm…
Better not say. Better not say.
Let’s use a lychee as an example.
For a woman around 160 centimeters tall: 45 kilograms is slim, 50 is sexy, and 55 is curvy.
Of course, the 40-kilogram bamboo poles and the 65-kilogram bold ones always love to throw themselves in and mess up the standards.
It’s frustrating… but what can you do?
She wasn’t standard model-type, but the experience? Top tier.
Qin Xiao chuckled and said, “I saw how busy you both were, so I came to help!”
“Really? How do you plan to help?” Xu Lin’s eyes lit up, surprised that Qin Xiao truly came to offer assistance.
Qin Xiao didn’t answer directly and said mysteriously, “It’s a secret. If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore.”
Xu Lin and Liu Shiyu were curious, but since he wasn’t saying, there was nothing they could do. Still, his words stirred their emotions and curiosity.
Xu Lin said helplessly, “Fine then. But judging from your look, I guess you’re mainly here for Shiyu, so I won’t disturb you two.”
Even though Xu Lin knew Liu Shiyu was married to Chu Feng, as her best friend, she was well aware of the situation between them. If it weren’t for Liu Shiyu’s insistence, she would’ve broken them up long ago.
Now, seeing Qin Xiao show up and having already gotten involved with Liu Shiyu, she actually thought it was a good thing. At least he was a thousand times better than that useless piece of trash Chu Feng.
He had no abilities yet acted like he was above everyone, with that “the world is drunk, only I’m sober” attitude. Just looking at him made her furious.
Xu Lin had scolded Liu Shiyu more than once for having bad taste, marrying someone like that.
Thankfully nothing serious had happened, or she would’ve been completely ruined.
Once Xu Lin left, Liu Shiyu couldn’t help but ask, “Qin Xiao, why did you come? Is something wrong?”
“Didn’t I say I came to help you?”
Liu Shiyu rolled her eyes inwardly. If Qin Xiao had asked Qin Lin to send someone to help, that would’ve made sense—but what could he possibly do himself?
As Qin Xiao walked closer, Liu Shiyu felt nervous for some reason. After all, they had slept together, and now they were alone again. She didn’t know how to face him.
“Qin… Qin Xiao, if you’re not here for anything serious, you should go. I still have work to do.”
She could only avoid confronting him.
Qin Xiao said, “How could I leave? Besides, how’s your body now?”
His question made Liu Shiyu’s face flush bright red, her beauty blooming like a flower. Qin Xiao couldn’t help but smile. As expected of the Dragon Emperor’s wife—just one glance or smile was enough to move a man’s heart.
“Sister Liu, you’re really beautiful. I don’t know if it’s just me, but you seem even more charming than before.”
Liu Shiyu glared at him, flustered and annoyed. No matter how she heard it, the words felt suggestive, making her imagination run wild. Why exactly was she more charming now? Get faster updates on novelping.com.
Seeing her reaction, Qin Xiao stepped in closer and asked, “Sister Liu, is your body feeling better?”
Liu Shiyu couldn’t take it anymore and quickly said, “Qin Xiao, stop talking and leave! Don’t let others misunderstand!”
“Misunderstand what?” Qin Xiao grinned and said, “Actually, I thought it through last night. Since what happened already happened, I can’t possibly forget it. Besides… I can’t bear to leave you.”
Her cheeks flushed, and she grew a bit nervous. “Qin Xiao, don’t overthink it. Nothing’s going to happen between us. If someone finds out, it’ll be humiliating!”
Qin Xiao replied casually, “So what? I don’t care.”
“I care!” Liu Shiyu was anxious at his nonchalant attitude. “Besides, we don’t even know each other that well. We can’t keep making mistakes like this!”
Qin Xiao laughed, “It’s fine. Take your time. I’ll wait for you to accept it—I’ll wait for as long as it takes.”
Liu Shiyu froze, stunned that someone with Qin Xiao’s status didn’t mind the fact that she was already married and was even willing to wait for her.
That moved her deeply, shaking her already unsettled heart.
Liu Shiyu’s affection increased!
[Ding! Liu Shiyu’s affection reached 60. Congratulations, host. You’ve begun to win over the primary female lead Liu Shiyu. Protagonist’s fate points -3000.]
What the hell!?
Hearing the system’s voice, Qin Xiao nearly lost it. He immediately asked in his mind, “System, what’s going on? Reaching the initial conquest stage is like landing first blood, right? Are you messing with me?”
[Ding! Answering host: the system is not mistaken. For key characters, achieving only one condition means the reward is lowered to the minimum.]
[Only when multiple conditions are met will all rewards be granted. That means right now, host is only receiving the proper amount of fate points.]
The more fate points lost by the protagonist, the more Qin Xiao gained.
In the system’s store, fate points were hard currency—exchangeable for anything he wanted, which was exactly why Qin Xiao wanted to earn it.
After getting the explanation, everything became clear in Qin Xiao’s mind.
