Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 298 - 143 Double Kill, Moon Goddess Falls into the Trap_2

This is a date, not a work report. If we keep talking, Zhong Tingyue might want to head back to her dorm right now to get the business plan for me.

Li Yuan waved his hand and laughed. "Little Moon, the milk tea shop can wait. Let’s talk about the car first. You’re about to be a proprietress. Not having a car wouldn’t suit your status. Which model do you like? We can go get it tomorrow."

Zhong Tingyue gave a dainty huff, her smile sweet as she looked at him. "Hee hee, it’s a secret. I’m not telling."

"Oh? What’s so secret about it? We’ll find out tomorrow anyway."

Zhong Tingyue hesitated for a moment, then stared at Li Yuan with a serious expression. "Senior, I really don’t need a car right now. There’s no need to splurge on me. I’ve done the math for the milk tea shop, and it’s going to cost quite a bit."

"It’s fine. We’ll just open a couple fewer shops to start. Buying you a car is the priority," Li Yuan said, tapping her on the head with feigned displeasure. "Little Moon, have you heard that phrase going around online?"

Zhong Tingyue tilted her head up. "What phrase?"

Li Yuan recalled a line from the movie *The Ex-File 3* and chuckled. "A man who’s willing to spend money on you might not love you, but a man who isn’t willing to spend money on you definitely doesn’t."

Zhong Tingyue giggled at his words, shot him a look, and huffed, "Senior, where did you hear such twisted logic? In my opinion, someone who’s willing to spend time with you, listen to you, care for you, and cherish you—that’s the true expression of love. What you just said is way too materialistic."

Li Yuan was surprised. He hadn’t expected Zhong Tingyue, who grew up in that kind of family environment, to have such a perspective. It made his estimation of her rise even higher.

With another mischievous smile, Zhong Tingyue looked at Li Yuan, and with a playful ’mwah!’, she leaned in and kissed his cheek. "Besides, you already have a car, Senior. From now on, you can be my personal chauffeur, hee hee."

That’s the second time today Zhong Tingyue has ambushed me. This is a clear challenge to my authority as a man. I have to deal with this deadly little enchantress. Come here, you vixen! Take this!

Li Yuan pulled Zhong Tingyue down, laying her face-up across his thighs. Her thin top did little to conceal her proud, bountiful curves.

Zhong Tingyue blushed, looking up at him and feigning shock. She crossed her hands over her chest, a sight that sparked a deep protective urge. "Hmph, Senior, what are you trying to do?"

"Hmm," Li Yuan replied with a roguish grin, giving her the answer she was looking for.

Zhong Tingyue has already dropped so many hints. Why am I still hesitating? Time to charge into battle.

Without another thought, and ignoring the sparse passersby enjoying the moonlight and the breeze in the park, he lowered his head and pressed his lips directly against Zhong Tingyue’s. The intoxicating river breeze turned the sea of flowers into their private bridal chamber.

Li Yuan’s head felt foggy, his senses filled with the fragrance of the Moon Goddess in his arms, sending adrenaline pumping through his veins. "Little Moon, you’re so beautiful tonight," he murmured, his gaze hazy.

Today, her ’monthly visitor’ didn’t come calling. That’s a good sign. It seems tonight might be a good opportunity to explore... and see how this experience differs from the one with Bai Weixi. This is crucial for my future children’s development and education, after all.

Zhong Tingyue’s cheeks were burning as she curled up in his arms, her heart thumping wildly. She peeked at their surroundings and thought she saw a passerby staring at them, making her feel the guilt of someone caught doing something illicit.

How could she be a match for an old pro like Li Yuan? She appeared exceedingly cool and distant on the outside, but underneath she was both shy and intensely passionate.

Zhong Tingyue asked timidly, "Senior, have you been in a relationship before?"

Crap. Were my moves too advanced?

He kept his expression calm and asked, "Little Moon, why do you ask?"

Zhong Tingyue tilted her head and pouted. "Senior, you... you have too many moves. You’re definitely not a rookie. You must have been in a relationship before."

"You’re overthinking it. I was a good student. How could I have possibly dated in high school? If I had, I never would’ve gotten into a 985 university," Li Yuan quickly denied. If he admitted it now, he’d have to send her straight back to her dorm. The mood was perfect; sending her back would be a terrible waste.

Although, if I’m being honest, my admission to a top 985 university in Modu wasn’t entirely based on my own ability. It was a complete fluke. Who would believe that I got in just by scoring forty points above the tier-one cutoff?

Remembering Li Yuan’s magical hands, Zhong Tingyue stared at him with wide eyes. "Then explain how you know so many moves."

Li Yuan laughed and whispered something in her ear.

Hearing his explanation, Zhong Tingyue’s face turned crimson, and she rolled her eyes at him. "You guys are all so perverted, watching those kinds of films even back in high school."

Li Yuan breathed an inward sigh of relief. "Little Moon, as the ancient sages said, ’Food and sex are human nature.’ I’m a normal man, a perfectly ordinary person. It’s completely normal to have these kinds of needs, okay?"

Zhong Tingyue’s face was beet red. She could feel something hard pressing into the small of her back, and the look she gave Li Yuan was charged with a strange light. Her delicate, fair hand shot out and pinched his abdomen, hard.

"Ouch! Little Moon, I have an eight-pack, you know. Want to see?"

She huffed. "Right here?"

Li Yuan smirked. "It’s not impossible here, but I suggest we change venues. You’d be able to get a much closer look... and even conduct some in-depth research."

At his words, Zhong Tingyue’s face grew even redder. She was torn, completely unsure whether she should agree.
