Chapter 350 - 357: Go Ask Her
Lin Qiong felt a sudden jolt in her body as Li Yifei left; the overwhelming pressure the mysterious person exerted on her was simply too much to bear. In their previous two encounters, she felt that the mysterious person was quite kind to her, always offering assistance, so she hadn’t been particularly fearful of him; in fact, she harbored some inexplicable affection towards the enigmatic figure.
But this time, she spent the longest period with the mysterious person and felt the pressure emanating from him. While studying with him was manageable, it was during the negotiation of terms that she really had to force herself to keep it together.
Sitting on the sofa, Lin Qiong wasn’t sure whether to feel relieved or disappointed that the mysterious person didn’t end up demanding to sleep with her. She felt fortunate about that, yet she was dismayed that he didn’t agree to protect Li Yifei. Although that guy had some skills, she feared he’d be unable to protect himself against ruthless retaliation, and this filled Lin Qiong with immense worry.
Lin Qiong used to think the mysterious man was just the type she liked, but after becoming involved with Li Yifei, she felt the mysterious person was too distant. Li Yifei, who normally seemed rather annoying, now appeared more real to her, and so her heart unavoidably leaned towards him.
As her thoughts settled, Lin Qiong suddenly sensed that something was amiss. The mysterious man had made a special trip to teach her kung fu, clearly intending to help her; it was unmistakably a kind gesture. But then why would he make such excessive demands later? This behavior just didn’t seem like something the mysterious man would do.
"Ah, could he be testing me?" Lin Qiong suddenly had this thought, which grew stronger. The mysterious man was so powerful; getting any woman he wanted would be easy. Why would he threaten her?
This consideration excited Lin Qiong, and she convinced herself that since she had suggested protecting Li Yifei, the mysterious man would surely help. If she didn’t have parents, she would really start to wonder if she had a special background and if the mysterious man had been sent to protect her.
Li Yifei, of course, wouldn’t use his mysterious identity to possess Lin Qiong’s body. After she made her statement, he laughed out loud, then quickly left her home. Joking like that seemed so unfair to Lin Qiong, and he felt he had lost the face to appear before her as the mysterious man again.
Unless there was no other choice, Li Yifei didn’t want to use that identity to help Lin Qiong anymore.
As soon as he stepped out, Lin Qiong called. Li Yifei answered casually and said with a laugh, "What’s up? Missing me this much that you’re calling me so late?"
