A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 154 "I really like you."

"Don't worry, I'm not that desperate for women. As long as you promise me one thing, I won't force you to sleep with me."

"You don't have to be my girlfriend, but you can't be someone else's."

Fu Jingbai said, "If you can agree to this, then the agreement is null and void, how about it?"

Qian Qinglei was stunned for a moment before she reacted, gripping the blankets and turning around abruptly, "That's all?"

She looked at him.

She didn't mind his bare upper body at all.

There was not a trace of embarrassment.

I just want an answer.

Those eyes were bright and piercing, radiating hope.

Fu Jingbai couldn't stand being stared at, and the heat she had barely managed to suppress returned.

He sat up, took a deep breath to calm himself, and then said, "Well, that's all."

Even if she becomes his mistress, she still has to break up with Xu Yang.

Now, the agreement is null and void, and the only condition is that you can no longer date, which can no longer be called a condition.

Qian Qinglei had no reason to refuse.

But she feared there might be a trap involved.

After carefully considering all the clauses in the agreement, he frowned and asked, "Is it also for two years?"

"……what?"

Qian Qinglei asked, "Is the period during which I can't have a boyfriend also two years?"

She asked seriously.

It seems she's planning to count down the days until two years are up, then go back to find Xu Yang.

Fu Jingbai's face darkened, and she remained silent.

Qian Qinglei wasn't in a hurry; she just looked at him and waited for an answer.

She was lying down, and she had to tilt her head back to look at his face as he sat down.

I stared at it for only three or four seconds, and then everything went black.

"Don't stare at me like that,"

Fu Jingbai covered her eyelids with his palm. Qian Qinglei was about to break free when she heard his slightly hoarse voice.

"Okay, two years,"

He added, "Can you agree to not dating anyone other than me for two years?"

"promise!"

This time, Qian Qinglei didn't argue with him because it concerned her most important matter.

Compared to being his mistress for two years, what kind of condition is it if I can't have a boyfriend for two years?

She hurriedly got out of bed, rummaged through the bottom of her suitcase and pulled out the agreement, then walked quickly to the bedside and handed it to him, saying, "Where's yours? Take it out and tear it up together."

Since that day, this was the first time she had seen her say so much to her, and Fu Jingbai felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.

"...I tore that thing up that very day."

That day, after she left the hotel, he saw the agreement on the round table and tore it up without thinking.

I never intended to make her a plaything to be taken advantage of.

He said it lightly.

Qian Qinglei almost burst into tears.

This agreement turned her life upside down, completely changed the trajectory of her life, and left her in constant fear.

In the eyes of this arrogant young master, it was all so insignificant.

Right.

Without this agreement.

He had countless ways to manipulate her and make her give in.

Seeing her standing there blankly, Fu Jingbai frowned slightly, reached out and took the paper from her hand, tore it to shreds without even looking at it.

“Alright, it’s torn up,” he said, grasping her wrist. “I was wrong before, pushing a young girl like you so hard. See, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?”

He held her hand very gently, his gaze softened, no longer the cold and aloof person he had been before, and his tone of voice was sincere and... gentle.

This was the first time Fu Jingbai had tried to reveal a small corner of his hidden thoughts. A man who had seen countless people and was accustomed to the ways of the world, he felt a touch of timidity at this moment.

He was afraid that his precious feelings would be humiliated.

Qian Qinglei stood by the bed, glanced at him with her eyes down, and pursed her lips slightly, "Are there any other rooms?"

She doesn't want compensation.

I don't think I can forgive his 'mistakes' either.

She just didn't want to sleep in the same bed with him tonight.

Fu Jingbai's eyes darkened. She quickly withdrew from her weak apology, leaned against the headboard, looked up at her, and smiled. "Unfortunately, I never entertain outside guests here. There are no other rooms available."

He became that aloof, arrogant, and haughty young master again.

Qian Qinglei looked away and said, "I'll sleep on the sofa."

"no!"

Fu Jingbai tightened his grip on her wrist, thought for a moment, then wrapped his arms around her waist and carried her directly to the bed.

"Sleep here. I mean it, I won't touch you."

He was shirtless, with one arm around her waist and the other holding her wrist, half of his body covering her, the two of them very close.

It's like they could kiss in the next second, which doesn't sound very convincing.

But Qian Qinglei had no way out; she could only trust that he kept his word.

She remained calm, a calm that reflected Fu Jingbai's helplessness.

So, he looked at her for a while, then slowly let go of her hand.

The moment she regained her freedom, Qian Qinglei turned to the side, her back to him.

Fu Jingbai also lay down.

I wanted to hug her, but I didn't reach out.

He stared at her thin back.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "I really like you."

Qian Qinglei remained silent.

Fu Jingbai had no experience pursuing anyone, and this was the first time she had faced such a stubborn person, who had already made a big mistake.

Unable to find a way out of the impasse, he could only resort to what he was best at.

He said, "If you become my girlfriend, I can take care of your parents and your brother. The previous promotion and raise are nothing. Isn't your brother starting a business? What industry is he planning to go into? How about I invest in him?"

Providing money, resources, connections, and support is enough to transform a small startup into a well-known company in the industry.

He talked on and on, and every word he said was so tempting that it was impossible for an ordinary person who had graduated from university, entered society, and encountered some setbacks not to be tempted.

But the girl he wanted to seduce was an eighteen-year-old girl who had just entered university.

Although the Qian family was not extremely wealthy, they were still quite well-off. Qian Qinglei grew up in a comfortable environment and had no need to know about the hardships of life at her age.

If he hadn't used his power to coerce her first, she would probably still be believing that this is a world of truth, goodness, and beauty.

Of course, I won't be swayed by the benefits he talks about.

Fu Jingbai talked until her throat was dry, but she didn't receive a single response.

A surge of anger welled up within him. "Am I not much better than that Xu Yang?"

Even without considering his wealth, he is no worse than Xu Yang.

Don't all young girls love handsome guys?

In terms of physique and looks, doesn't he easily beat that weakling?
Qian Qinglei finally moved, tilting her head slightly. "You're so noisy."

The noise kept her awake.

Fu Jingbai: "..."

He was furious.

Unable to resist, he reached out and poked the back of her neck, saying, "Give me an answer. What exactly do you like about Xu Yang? What am I lacking compared to Xu Yang? Otherwise, I can't understand it."

If you can't figure it out, you'll keep dwelling on the problem.

Qian Qinglei didn't want him to keep asking her questions.

So she answered anyway.
