Chapter 1351: Chapter 702: Li Liqin Is Not Willing to Give Up

The afternoon sunlight streamed directly through the glass window into the room, making it feel even warmer.

It’s mid-October, but Xiu Zhou’s temperature still remains around twenty-three or twenty-four degrees. A bit of intense exercise still causes one to sweat profusely, and even more so when exercising under the sunlight.

"Why not close the curtains?"

Sweating all over, Chen Feng asked somewhat displeased.

"Why close the curtains in broad daylight? Besides, closing the curtains with the window open doesn’t let in air; it’s better to keep them open."

Li Liqin, also sweating profusely, replied in a weak voice.

"Is there any hot water in the kitchen? I’m going to get a drink."

Chen Feng got up from the sofa with his shirt off, quickly put on shorts, and headed toward the kitchen.

"The boiled water might not be hot anymore; there are beverages in the fridge."

Li Liqin shouted toward him.

When Chen Feng arrived in the kitchen, he found it clean and tidy, with no pots on the gas stove, looking empty and showing little sign of use. Clearly, it hadn’t been much used for cooking.

There was an electric kettle and a thermos, upon lifting the thermos, there was still some water inside, but upon opening the lid and testing with his hand, he found it had indeed lost its heat.

This woman really isn’t cut out for household life; the house doesn’t even have hot water, and the water in the thermos has gone cold, indicating it had been sitting for several days.

Chen Feng had no choice but to go over to the refrigerator, open it and find quite a few beverages inside, mostly fruit juices, along with some soda.

He quickly grabbed a bottle of soda, twisted off the cap, and gulped it down in one go.

Only then did he feel like he had come back to life.

"Do you want to drink?"

Chen Feng, somewhat gentlemanly, offered after he finished his bottle.

"Get me a bottle of juice."

Chen Feng took another bottle of soda for himself and grabbed a bottle of juice for her, heading back to the living room.

"Thanks." Li Liqin lazily extended her hand to take the juice, twisted it open, and tilted her head back to gulp several mouthfuls before stopping.

"This is yours; why thank me?"

Chen Feng said while taking several more sips of soda.

Li Liqin looked teasingly at Chen Feng and said, "I wasn’t referring to this, but to that."

Chen Feng ignored her, continued drinking a few more sips of water, then put down the bottle and said, "I’m going to shower here; is that okay?"

"Of course, why don’t I join you? I’ll scrub your back."

Li Liqin straightened up, smiling brightly at Chen Feng.

"No need."

Chen Feng coldly replied, swiftly heading toward the bathroom.

The apartment Li Liqin lived in wasn’t large, about a hundred square meters, yet it was arranged as three bedrooms and a living room.

Among the three bedrooms, only the master bedroom was slightly larger, while the other two were very small, with barely any space left after placing a bed.

However, such an apartment wasn’t cheap; according to her, she spent over four million to buy it two years ago, on a mortgage certainly, not full payment upfront.

Back then, the price was over forty-five thousand per square meter, and now, two years later, her apartment’s price per square meter is roughly fifty thousand, so she didn’t really lose on her purchase.

Her ability to independently purchase such an apartment makes her exceptionally accomplished among girls of her generation.

Truly qualifying as a new generation of independent women.

A woman’s independence primarily starts with financial independence, having the capability to earn her own living.

Watching Chen Feng head into the bathroom and close the door, Li Liqin quickly stood up, jogged over to the television wall opposite, then hurriedly leaned in to inspect the set-top box. Seeing the light flashing, she relaxed.

She was checking the home surveillance camera, which stored footage both locally and in the cloud.

As for Chen Feng, he was completely unaware of this.

Not only hadn’t he imagined her home would have cameras, since this visit was spontaneous without prior setup, and secondly, the camera she purchased was a specially concealed model, connected near the set-top box and looking like a router on the surface, making it hard for a regular person to distinguish.

Her initial installation of such a hidden camera wasn’t meant for trapping Chen Feng but arose from concerns over safety as a woman living alone. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Living alone, having a surveillance system at home was indeed necessary.

Unexpectedly, despite being installed for over a year without much use, it came in handy this time.

And Chen Feng, as a man who wasn’t particularly famous, naturally lacked vigilance in this area.

Li Liqin grinned like a fox who had successfully stolen a chicken, watching for quite a while until Chen Feng emerged from the bathroom.

As soon as she saw Chen Feng, she became very excited and quickly ran up to him.

Chen Feng hurriedly dodged, pressed her shoulders with both hands, blocked her, and asked irritably, "What’s gotten into you?"

"I’m crazy about you."

Li Liqin said while trying forcefully to embrace him.

Chen Feng unceremoniously applied some strength, pushed her away, and reprimanded her coldly, "That’s enough, don’t act like a madwoman. I’ve already met your requests as we agreed, and from now on, our relationship is over; we should go our separate ways peacefully."

Li Liqin stumbled back a couple of steps from his push, and her mind cleared up slightly. With a sorrowful face, she said, "You’re heartless. We were just so affectionate, and now you act like you don’t know me."

"Come on, stop pretending in front of me." Chen Feng interrupted her a bit impatiently, "We’re just very ordinary friends now, stop making it like we’re in a romantic relationship. I don’t owe you, and you don’t owe me; our intimate relationship ends here, let’s part amicably, ok?"

After seeing his facial expression change, Li Liqin nodded slightly and said, "Of course, we’ll part amicably. But before that, you have to live up to your promise and fulfill my last request."

Chen Feng frowned and looked at her, "Alright, enough, don’t overdo it."

Li Liqin said sullenly, "You clearly agreed."

Chen Feng couldn’t help but glare at her and said angrily, "When did I say that? I only did this as a favor between us; don’t ask for too much."

"You just said that after today, our relationship ends, so before breaking up, can’t you indulge me a bit? Or are you... out of energy?"

Though knowing Li Liqin did this on purpose to provoke him, addressing a man’s dignity, Chen Feng couldn’t help but get mad.

"Do I still need to prove myself?" Chen Feng glared at her.

Li Liqin giggled, "Anyway, since you didn’t completely defeat me, I’ll think you can’t."

Watching Li Liqin’s provocative gaze, Chen Feng ultimately couldn’t hold back, stepped forward, hugged her firmly around the waist, and amidst her exclamation, tossed her onto the sofa.

Then, in her stunned silence, Chen Feng deftly clothed himself, turned around without looking back, and strode out.
