Chapter 166 Hitting someone without using force is purely flirting (Cheng Yubai)
Even so, in the end, I did reveal some information to him.

Cheng Yubai originally thought that one of them would be the young man he had met at the police station.

After all that, the other party hadn't even sat down at the table.

Neither of them are currently in S City.

Would Cheng Yubai be willing to be one of them?
Of course I was unwilling.

However, he could sense Shen Zhaoyi's rejection of him, so rather than forcing it, he decided to retreat as a way to advance.

Now, the person has sat back down opposite, the light from the floor-to-ceiling window shining on their profile, the shadow cast by their eyelashes perfectly concealing the ambition in their eyes.

Only after obtaining further privileges will there be opportunities for competition.

Relationships between adult men and women often start as casual flings.

Who will ultimately be eliminated is truly uncertain.

By the end of the conversation, Shen Zhaoyi had made up her mind. Her gaze fell on Cheng Yubai's face, and she confirmed it one last time—

"You really think about it?"

"You haven't left yet, so it's not too late to back out."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yubai hesitated and said, "How about... I write you a written agreement?"

"That's not necessary."

He clicked his tongue softly, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"It seems my sincerity wasn't obvious enough."

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Yubai suddenly stood up, his tall figure looming over him, and grabbed Shen Zhaoyi's hand that was resting on her lap.

The force was gentle, yet impossible to break free from.

The next second, her lips gently landed on her fingertips.

"As long as you want..."

"This relationship can make substantial progress right now."

These words, combined with his stated intentions when he came, made the implication all too obvious.

Shen Zhaoyi felt that if she loosened her stance even slightly, the study might immediately turn into a battlefield.

She steadied herself, gently withdrew her hand, and smiled faintly. "Thank you, but I don't need it for now."

Upon hearing this answer, Cheng Yubai's gaze lingered on her face for a moment.

"It seems he's already had an affair."

A definite statement.

Shen Zhaoyi did not explain, but instead strongly disagreed with his choice of words, correcting him: "If it's done openly, how can it be called stealing?"

Cheng Yubai understood that one of her male companions had already come before her.

but……

It doesn't matter.

In comparison, I have a greater advantage due to my proximity to the source.

He suddenly increased the pressure, squeezing the hand still trapped in his palm hard, with a hint of punishment in his voice.

But he relaxed his grip the moment Shen Zhaoyi frowned.

"Okay, then I'll wait a bit longer."

After saying that, Cheng Yubai straightened up and walked leisurely towards the door.

After his second attempt to "offer himself to the emperor" failed, he didn't get angry; he's the type who knows when to stop.

Shen Zhaoyi didn't know how to define their current relationship.

To be fair, although he's a male companion, she hasn't yet been able to be as naturally intimate with him as she is with Su Ye.

The other party, however, quickly adapted to this new identity.

After going downstairs, he didn't stay long before preparing to leave.

Shen Zhaoyi symbolically saw the person to the door, but Cheng Yubai turned around and kissed her lips amidst the shocked gazes of everyone in the hall.

"you--!"

My pupils contracted sharply, and before I could push them away, I felt a slight stinging pain.

He actually bit himself!
"Cheng Yubai!"

Shen Zhaoyi took a step back, raised her hand and forcefully wiped her lips, a hint of anger rising in her eyes, "Are you a dog?!"

"Are you angry? Then I'll let you bite me back?"

As Cheng Yubai spoke, he actually leaned closer again. Without thinking, Shen Zhaoyi slapped him across the face—

"Snapped!"

The force wasn't great, but the crisp sound still drew the attention of the housekeeper, nanny, and driver, who had previously looked away, and they all turned to look in this direction again.

Good grief, what's going on?
Just when they thought the situation was about to get out of control, they saw the man who had been beaten smile.
Cheng Yubai tilted her head and pressed the tip of her tongue against her numb cheek.

"Shen Zhaoyi." He gently hooked his hand around the one that hadn't yet pulled back. "Hiting someone without using force, is that flirting?"

After saying this, seeing the woman's complicated expression, he leaned closer and whispered something else in her ear.

Then he let go of her hand and turned to leave.

Shen Zhaoyi stood there, the warmth of his cheek still lingering in her palm.

He subconsciously curled his fingers.

His last words kept echoing in my mind—

"The more you act like this, the less I want to let go."

Could this person actually have some masochistic tendencies?
With a skeptical attitude, Shen Zhaoyi returned to her room and was met with five pairs of gossipy eyes.

Xu Meng sighed inwardly: Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
The two women, deeply influenced by melodramatic soap operas, have begun to imagine complex emotional relationships with the men who have appeared in their lives in the past few days.

Old Wang, on the other hand, recognized Cheng Yubai.

As for Zhou Yi, who is quite old and has never been married, he was thinking that it was a good thing he hadn't recorded the license plate number earlier.

Facing the scrutiny of everyone in the room, Shen Zhaoyi forced herself to remain calm and went to the dining room to retrieve the banner she had just received.

To be honest, she dared to accept this item but not to display it.

What a shame!

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to roll it up and put it upright in the display case.

After all, it cost several hundred million to acquire the merchandise.

In the afternoon, the awkward atmosphere in the villa dissipated, and Shen Zhaoyi nestled on the sofa to watch Han Ziyang's live stream again.

I received a phone call midway through; it was from the delivery guy.

She was too lazy to move, so she made Zhou Yi go through the trouble of making the trip.

Five minutes later, the dutiful housekeeper came in from the door, carrying a file folder.

Inside is the property certificate for that villa in City C.

Lin Wen sent a message on WeChat, the first sentence of which was an apologetic explanation.

Miss, I'm so sorry.

It was our oversight that we missed some procedures, which caused a two-day delay in processing the property certificate.

In fact, Shen Zhaoyi had long forgotten about this matter.

It doesn't matter whether I receive it a day earlier or a day later, I'm not in a hurry to move in anyway.

She expressed her understanding, saying, "It's okay."

Lin Wen seemed relieved and then reported on the recent situation at the villa:
The greenery surrounding the main house has already been maintained.

Regarding the furniture you mentioned, it was just moved out, and we'll have someone do a full house cleaning tomorrow.

The swimming pool has been cleaned up; do you think we need to refill it with water?

"No need," Shen Zhaoyi refused.

Let's consider this matter again when she returns to live in Mayor C.

After Lin Wen wrote it down, she finally mentioned that she needed to go back and change the room door password herself, as her staff did not have that authority.

Okay, thank you for your hard work, Manager Lin.

Lin Wen spoke politely, but her opinion of this customer kept changing...

Shen Zhaoyi put down her phone and glanced at the property certificate.

The third property has been acquired.

Since I've got nothing much going on lately, why don't I go back and take a look?
I can replace the discarded furniture with something I like, and while I'm at it, I can change the password and reconnect to the security system.

It's not uncommon for people to inexplicably move into vacant, unused villas.

We can then travel to the capital for a few more days.

I'll come back after celebrating Han Ziyang's birthday.

However, Shen Zhaoyi needs to go to the convoy first.
