I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

"So?" Lin Xuanqi looked at him with interest.

"Your voice sounds too sweet and could be dangerous," the boy said seriously.

"What dangers are there? Tell me about them." Lin Xuanqi smiled.

"Many symptoms can cause intermittent shortness of breath, which is the most basic, and can also lead to dry mouth, sweating, palpitations, lower limb cramps, sleep deprivation the next day, and lower back pain and weak legs. Oh, and you'll also lose a lot of pantyhose."

"Really?" Lin Xuanqi asked in surprise, sounding quite serious.

"It's true."

"I don't believe it, I'm going to try it anyway." Lin Xuanqi hooked her arm around the boy's neck, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Ha... Husband?"

"Xuanqi, you're courting death." The boy sighed.

"I've already called you 'husband' properly, so what should you call me now? Who's courting death?" Lin Xuanqi smiled and raised an eyebrow, placing her hand on the boy's waist as if to pinch him.

"Excuse me, honey," the young man quickly stopped her.

"That's more like it." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes at him, then grinned mischievously. "But husband, I clearly called out to him, so why didn't I feel any danger?"

"Honey, if you said something like that in a horror movie, you'd be dead in three minutes."

"Really? Husband?" Lin Xuanqi blinked.

"It seems you're truly fearless."

"But how come I'm not dead yet? You're not lying to me, are you, husband?" The girl moved closer to him.

"Since you're courting death, then I won't be polite." The boy picked her up and walked step by step toward the bathroom.

……

284. Cheng Fei's greed didn't stop there.

until night.

The boy put his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling, contemplating life.

Lin Xuanqi, as if sprawled on her beloved oversized teddy bear, lazily yawned and spoke softly with alluring eyes, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"That's enough with the small-scale stuff. Want to try something bigger?"

"I only like playing with you, Xuanqi, and you're old enough already," the boy said seriously.

"Like you my foot, let's get down to business." Lin Xuanqi revealed a cruel smile and pinched his waist hard.

"Hiss... I was wrong, what did that mean?"

"Although your rate of return is not bad, this amount of money is not worthy of being called investment."

"so?"

"I'll provide you with leverage on a 1:1 basis, and see how well your model performs when managing larger sums of money."

"Okay, by the way, what does 'margin trading' mean?"

"You don't even understand this? If you put up a million, I'll lend you another million. You'll be responsible for your own profits and losses. As for the interest, I won't charge you any."

"Got it, so you want me to pay one million right now?" the young man said thoughtfully.

"Don't tell me you lost all the money I gave you, a million. What did you do with it?" Lin Xuanqi suddenly looked up and stared at the boy.

"No, it's not that. I just think a one-to-one ratio is too stingy. That means I'll only have two million in total." The young man shrugged with a relaxed air.

"Not enough? Okay, how much do you want? Tell me." Lin Xuanqi laughed.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about one to ten? You lend me ten million, and I'll cover the losses."

“One to ten? Do you know how many people have become high rollers by leveraging their investments?” Lin Xuanqi laughed gleefully, pinching his cheek. “Little puppy, get this straight, if you lose ten points, your losses will exceed your principal. What are you going to lose with? Oh no, I mean, husband, you’re too daring.”

"I'm not very brave, so how come you're in my arms now?" The boy's hand wandered over. "Besides, it's my wife's money anyway. If I lose it, I lose it. I'll just treat it as a joke."

"When what? Say it again?" The girl, whose gaze had been gradually becoming hazy, suddenly stared at him.

"Just kidding. Actually, I'm confident that even if you give me a hundred million, I won't lose money. Don't worry."

"You've already given me a hundred million? Do you really think money is a magic bullet?" Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes at him, then smiled again. "Actually, I could give you ten million, but I have conditions."

"What conditions?"

"With a one-month term, I get 50% of the profits. If you lose, I won't do anything to you since you're my husband, how about it?" Lin Xuanqi straightened up, her ample figure drawing attention, and she hooked the boy's chin with her hand.

"That's it?" the boy asked, glancing sideways.

"What, do you think I'm being too good to you?" Lin Xuanqi followed his gaze downwards, a smile curving her lips.

"I'm just feeling a bit bored, how about we make another bet?" The boy supported him from below.

"What do you want to bet on this time?" Lin Xuanqi's gaze flickered.

“I’ll double that ten million in a month,” the boy said, holding up one finger.

As soon as the words were spoken, the warm room, where only the two of them were, became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

A moment later, Lin Xuanqi, as if she had heard a very funny joke, slapped the pillow hard, her ample bosom swaying beautifully, laughing so hard that tears were about to come out. "Cheng Fei, you're using this trick on me again, aren't you?"

"You don't believe me? Or are you too scared to bet with me?" The young man looked at her nonchalantly.

Lin Xuanqi finished laughing, lay down in his arms, and a malicious smile appeared on her lips, like an intimate lover and a dangerous enemy at the same time. "I'd love to believe you, but you need to understand, the difficulty of managing 100,000 and 10 million is not even in the same league. Even I can't guarantee doubling it in a month, let alone ordinary people. What makes you think you can do it?"

"Doesn't this just prove that I'm very strong?" The boy rubbed his chin.

"Are you serious?" Lin Xuanqi stared at him, her eyes flickering.

“Of course, my model is really amazing.” The boy met her gaze.

"How do you want to bet?" Lin Xuanqi asked immediately.

“If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. If I win, all the profits are mine. Also…” The boy’s gaze fell on Lin Xuanqi’s small, rosy lips, and his fingertips gently stroked the corners of her mouth that were curving upwards.

"What else? Tell me." Lin Xuanqi seemed to sense something, her reddened eyes blinking as she looked directly into the boy's greedy gaze.

"Xuanqi, you know, I've wanted you to do this for a long time..." The boy gently touched her lips with his fingertips.

Lin Xuanqi's smile suddenly turned cold. "Cheng Fei, you're getting more and more arrogant. You want me to do this kind of thing for you? Do you think my tolerance for you is limitless?"

"Tch, what's with the fierceness? I'm your husband now." The young man was fearless, lifting her up and putting her down again. "Xuanqi, just tell me if you want to bet or not? If you don't dare to bet, fine. Sigh, I also think it's a bit too much to use this trick on you twice in a row."

Lin Xuanqi frowned slightly, her cold expression faltering as she forced a mocking smile. "Hmph, don't act like you're guaranteed to win. Fine, let's bet. I'm not afraid of you."

"You know you'll lose, yet you still gamble? Xuanqi, you seem to have become stupid." The boy observed her.

"I'm stupid? Hehe, actually, she's just playing along with you on purpose. As long as you're capable, she can do those little things. After all, she loves you very much. You're the stupid one, husband~" Lin Xuanqi leaned closer to him with a wicked smile, pretending to be provocative.

"Xuanqi, you've become more and more adorable lately." The boy cupped her small face in his hands.

"Really? Then do you love me?" Lin Xuanqi's black hair was loose, exuding an extremely alluring charm.

"Of course I love it."

"How much I love..."

"You'll find out soon enough..."

late at night.

Lin Xuanqi was tired and lay in the boy's arms enjoying a massage. Before she knew it, her eyes were slightly closed and her breathing was even.

"Xuanqi." The boy tried calling her, but there was no response. "Are you asleep?"

The boy continued to massage diligently.

At a certain moment, Lin Xuanqi twitched without warning and opened her eyes.

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, she moved her body still and slowly reached her hand to the boy's face, tapping her fingertips rhythmically, as if there was some kind of fun in it.

"Cheng Fei." The girl's voice was soft and gentle.

"what?"

How do you feel about my relationship with you?

“It couldn’t be better,” the boy replied immediately.

"Will you still hold a grudge against me for what I did in the past?"

"How could that be? It was all a misunderstanding before. Now I have such a beautiful, rich, and loving wife like you. I'm so happy every day. Why would I hold a grudge against you?"

"Is that so?" Lin Xuanqi gave a weak chuckle.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"Um……"

What did you dream about?

"I dreamt that you were going to strangle me to death..."

"That's probably because I pressed too hard on your neck just now."

"You don't really want to strangle me, do you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're still perfectly fine in my arms right now, and how could I bear to strangle you?" The boy made no attempt to hide his greed.

……

285. Pre-show announcement

Lin Xuanqi, held in his arms, narrowed her eyes and let him do as he pleased. After a moment, she spoke, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"Don't worry, even if you lose this bet, I won't punish you." She raised her chin mischievously. "How about that? Am I good to you?"

"Xuanqi, for your safety, I advise you not to do this." The boy's expression suddenly turned strange.

"why?"

"Because you're so cute, I can't help myself."

"What else do you want to do? I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."

"Xuanqi, you're so good to me, you'll definitely grant me this request, right?"

"I'll satisfy your cravings, get out of here."

"That's not up to you. Blame yourself."

"Cheng Fei! You, you..."

The girl's feigned anger abruptly ceased, and the room suddenly became unusually quiet, with only some ominous sounds echoing in the background.

The next day, as a result of doing someone a favor, Lin Xuanqi was finally able to walk out of the bedroom, leaning against the wall, at noon.

"Xuanqi, remember to go online on time for the afternoon performance."

"Stop acting! Get lost!"

……

The penthouse apartment located on the 36th floor.

Asuna Nagasaki sat at the table, took a deep breath, clicked to start the live stream, sat up straight, and waved to the camera with a restrained air.

"Hello, hello~ Can you hear me?"

"?"

"I can hear you, I can hear you"

"cute"

"Who are you, beautiful lady?"
