Chapter Two Hundred Twenty-Six: I Like This Bet

(Special thanks to our book club brother [Cp Pampas] for becoming an Elder!)

Li Yan felt a bit embarrassed by her words, but he knew she was doing it on purpose. Since things had progressed to this point, today was inevitably going to be a turning point in their relationship, and right now, this moment, was the most crucial!

He leaned down, only a few inches away from her lips, pretending he was going to kiss her.

Li Jie immediately pressed her lips together tightly and closed her eyes.

But Li Yan didn’t really kiss her. Instead, he slowly moved downwards, and just when he was about to touch her lips, he turned his head to the side and whispered into her ear.

"Silly girl... I’m not messing with you, just afraid you’ll run away, so I’m holding you down to talk. Why do you say I’m hitting on you? Do you secretly want me to hit on you?"

Originally, she was holding on to a spirit of resistance, preferring death over submission. But when Li Yan didn’t kiss her, she felt a bit disappointed. His whispered words right by her ear made her ears burn up, and the sound pierced her heart, quickening her heartbeat. And the content, those ’hitting on me, hitting on you,’ made her blush. She couldn’t pretend not to know, thanks to the associations someone with experience would make.

Li Jie really didn’t know how to answer his question. If she said nothing, it might be taken as consent, and if she replied, she’d likely get deeper into trouble. With no choice, she opened her eyes, turned to look at him, and said, "You..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, Li Yan, who had been waiting with his lips poised by her face after he spoke, had her lips on his. She only managed to say one word before they were blocked.

Earlier, Li Yan didn’t force a kiss amid her resistance, but now that it was offered, he was ready and immediately locked lips with her.

Poor Li Jie, not a match for Li Yan in skills, especially not on the bed, lost the first round completely. Despite her resistance, a subconscious part of her secretly yearned for this, nostalgically recalling their happy times in H City...

What should have been a half-hearted kiss was harmoniously and perfectly completed.

Once they separated, Li Jie came to her senses, realizing they had finished the kiss and she hadn’t really resisted. This made her smile wryly and sigh, "Li Yan! Please don’t do this anymore. I can’t keep doing this, we can’t go on like this!"

Seeing that her body softened and she calmed down, Li Yan no longer pressed down on her but lay beside her, still holding her.

"Let me be honest with you!"

"What?" Li Jie felt uneasy, unsure of what he was about to say.

"Xiao Di is my woman, and you are my woman too. I won’t give up on either of you!"

"...!" Li Jie was first shocked, then furious. "What do you mean? You want to two-time?"

"No, two-timing is cheating, which is very difficult, and if you get separated, you might split."

Well, that’s better... Li Jie thought, but what does he mean by not giving up?

"So, if I’m going to step on something, it’s going to be multiple boats! With multiple boats linked together, it’s much safer."

"Shameless!" Just when she thought it couldn’t get worse, Li Jie never expected him to say something even more outrageous, and immediately punched his chest in anger!

Li Yan didn’t mind, having already said it, and continued, "You see, because of our relationship, you feel so guilty towards Xiao Di, and it’s very distressing. If she knew you were so selfless, she wouldn’t feel good either. Losing either of you would make me upset. Since separating makes three people suffer, and uniting makes three people happy, why not unite?"

Li Jie scoffed sarcastically, "Three is not enough for you? Wouldn’t you be happier with ten or eight together?"

"Yeah! Actually, that way, everyone would be at ease, and I’d be the only one who’s really busy. With ten or eight, rotating from Monday to Sunday, no rest is enough. I’d have to frequently replenish my health..."

Li Jie was angrily amused! This guy is really outrageous! Her sarcastic remark was turned into a fantasy!

"You wish, right? I’ll grant it!" Suddenly, she flipped over, straddling Li Yan and began to take off his clothes.

"Hey, hey, I’m not joking, I’m serious, can we be serious?" Li Yan was starting to sweat, "You punching me was the normal reaction, helping me out of my clothes... did you get triggered?"

What worried him a bit was if Li Jie was abusing him... because she was that kind of fiery girl. Whereas if it were Wen Qianyi, with her cunning and cleverness, she might leave "hickies" (suction marks) on his body, neck, and face, leaving him with evidence to face people.

Li Jie sneered as she stripped off his shirt and pants, "Don’t you want to enjoy such blessings? Prove you can handle it first!"

Seeing she was serious, Li Yan couldn’t help but cover his groin, smiling wryly, "What do you want? This... gentlemen speak rather than fight, let’s talk things through first..."

But Li Jie showed no signs of stopping and had already unzipped his pants...

...

Two hours later, the two of them lay in bed, too lazy to move until they were startled by a call from Yu Xiaodi.

"Yeah, I’m still at Li Jie’s. It’s been a while since she lived here, it got robbed, a mess, I just helped her tidy up."

Hearing Li Yan’s lie, the nervous Li Jie gave him a sidelong glance. Robbery indeed happened, but it wasn’t a theft of something, but an affair. He wasn’t helping her tidy up earlier; he was tidying her up!
