Chapter 165 I'm Here to Join This Family (Cheng Yubai)
Cheng Yubai did not answer immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Xu Meng, who was covering her mouth and eating melon seeds across from her.

Upon receiving this gaze, she seemed to realize that it was inappropriate for her to stay there any longer, and immediately stood up and quickly fled the area.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to secretly give Shen Zhaoyi a thumbs up.

Upon receiving this message, the latter couldn't help but want to facepalm and smile wryly.

After everyone left, Cheng Yubai said seriously, "What do you think of my suggestion from this morning?"

They used to call her Miss Shen, but today they've changed their way of addressing her.

Shen Zhaoyi suddenly reached out and grabbed his tie, pulling him close abruptly.

Caught off guard, Cheng Yubai braced himself on the edge of the dining table to steady himself.

"Are you serious?" As she spoke, because they were so close, her warm breath inevitably brushed against his slightly cool lips.

Cheng Yubai's eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.

"of course."

He was genuinely interested in Shen Zhaoyi.

When exactly did these thoughts begin? It was probably when I realized that the other person had clearly recognized me in the elevator that day, but hadn't confronted me about it on the spot.

Instead, they teased him like he was watching a play, waiting for him to guess.

At the beginning, during his live streams, he encountered many generous "top female fans" like Shen Zhaoyi.

Without exception, their requests were either to spend the night with them or to ask very directly how much they could pay.

Even though Cheng Yubai emphasized that he would not talk about topics outside his professional field.

But those people will only think that the conditions offered are not attractive enough.

Some gave up when faced with difficulties, while others cursed him for being pretentious.

Cheng Yubai couldn't be bothered with any of this.

He's faking it, but how good can these people really be?
Does money allow you to influence other people's thoughts?

Originally, I was forced to leave clinical practice because the vice president used money to manipulate the situation and push me out to take the blame.

He hated evil more than anyone else.

I didn't retaliate purely because I didn't want my account to be banned.

So when Shen Zhaoyi came over for two consecutive nights to send gifts and said those kinds of things, he naturally misunderstood her.

However, things changed a little afterward...

Shen Zhaoyi met his gaze and surprisingly saw a hint of stubbornness in it.

She let go and pushed the person away.

He slowly scooped up the remaining half bowl of porridge.

Cheng Yubai wasn't in a hurry; he just sat down beside her and waited quietly.

It wasn't until Shen Zhaoyi put down her cutlery that she heard her say, "Dr. Cheng wants to offer herself as a bedmate, but I don't just take any man I see. Why don't you go up now and let me see if you have the qualities?"

There was no emotion in his tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yubai got up and left the restaurant.

Shen Zhaoyi initially thought he was feeling embarrassed and was about to leave, but when she saw that he was heading towards the stairs, she jumped up and quickly chased after him.

"Cheng Yubai!"

This shout was made with the full name and surname.

Cheng Yubai stopped at the corner of the stairs, a triumphant smile in his eyes as he turned around: "You wouldn't have changed your mind, would you?"

Shen Zhaoyi quickly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist. She only realized her loss of composure when she touched his cool skin.

She tried to remain calm and let go of his hand, but he grabbed it back.

"Scared?" Cheng Yubai leaned down and whispered in her ear, his warm breath falling on her. "Weren't you quite talkative just now?"

Realizing that the other party had done it on purpose, Shen Zhaoyi forced herself to calm down.

You must not get angry at this time.

Of course, we cannot back down either.

In some ways, Cheng Yubai is actually quite like a replica of himself.

Taking a half step back, she gently pulled her wrist away from his palm and said in as calm a tone as possible, "Shall we talk?"

"Row."

Because there were too many people in the living room downstairs, the two of them ended up going upstairs one after the other.

The study, which had been deserted for a long time, welcomed its second guest in just a few days. After Shen Zhaoyi sat down, Cheng Yubai went straight to the opposite side.

This setup makes it seem like they're going to have a businesslike negotiation.

Shen Zhaoyi spoke first, repeating the same words: "We're not a good match."

Cheng Yubai's answer remained the same: "How would you know if you haven't tried it?"

"Because we are the same kind of people."

"Is that so?" He leaned forward slightly, his tone ambiguous. "I don't have a bed partner."

Shen Zhaoyi choked.

See? She said it wasn't suitable.

Who else would retort like that?

She took a deep breath and tried to reason with them.

"There's really no need for that. With your looks and qualities, what kind of woman can't you date? Why do you have to lower yourself to come here with me?"

Cheng Yubai thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because it's more lively here."

His response was silence.

Without paying attention, Cheng Yubai took the initiative to ask, "How many men are around you now?"

Shen Zhaoyi hadn't expected him to ask that, and thought about it for a moment.

Aside from Su Ye, could "Yu Shan" barely qualify?

He answered truthfully, "Two."

"That's great." Cheng Yubai nodded. "If I join now, I can still make it into the top three."

"Third place is also pretty good."

Shen Zhaoyi was almost laughing in exasperation: "Are you out of your mind?"

Cheng Yubai suddenly stood up straight and walked towards her step by step.

His leather shoes made almost no sound on the carpet, but an inexplicable sense of oppression gradually increased as he approached.

He knelt down in front of her, his eyes level with hers.

“Shen Zhaoyi,” he called her by her full name, his voice low and slow, “the reason you rejected me is simply that you think I’m too much like you, that I’m controlling and unwilling to compromise for anyone.”

“But have you ever thought about…” He reached out, his fingertips gently brushing the stray hairs by her ear, his tone almost seductive.

"It is precisely because we are the same kind of people that I understand you better than anyone else."

Cheng Yubai spoke these words with absolute certainty.

Although the two have only met a handful of times since they first met.

But it's enough.

Shen Zhaoyi did not expect that she would gradually become the passive party.

At the same time, he finally understood where the determination in Cheng Yubai's eyes outside the parking lot came from.

It has to be said that having this person by your side as a male companion would be a very fulfilling thing.

But if we separate...

The consequences of the backlash will be more severe than for others.

Either we never cross paths, or we're inseparable for life.

Before this, Shen Zhaoyi's thoughts had never changed—

Cheng Yubai is too dangerous.

But today's conversation made her vaguely feel that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Although he did a good job of concealing his panic after being seen through.

But the other party still caught the wavering in her eyes.

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Cheng Yubai remained calm and began to probe, "Now, why don't you tell me what qualities make a man so special to you?"

Shen Zhaoyi glanced at him.

"Does Dr. Cheng enjoy gossiping too?"

"Just curious." Cheng Yubai tapped his knuckles lightly on the table twice. "You have to know the details of your competitors, don't you?"

"Competitor?"

Shen Zhaoyi scoffed lightly, as if she hadn't accepted the "team up" request yet.
