Chapter 36: Ambiguity! The Advancing Huang Yujia
But could I really harden my heart and move against her? Not to mention the wonderful memories we shared, our three years of contact alone had long since turned us into friends with a deep, unspoken understanding. If I were to kill her now just because my identity was exposed, then regret and remorse would surely become the shackles that would bind me for life.
Eliminating the first option left only the second.
At this thought, Huang Yujia felt deflated. "Fine, my little nemesis," she lamented. "Just tell me what you want to do."
Even now, Huang Yujia didn’t suspect that Chen Pingchuan had been investigating her; she simply assumed he had stumbled upon her secret by accident.
Feeling her killing intent fade, Chen Pingchuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Much like Huang Yujia, he was the type to appear calm on the surface while his heart was a turbulent storm. It was precisely this shared personality that made their relationship so harmonious.
With Huang Yujia’s resolve weakening, Chen Pingchuan naturally seized the upper hand. He took a step forward, backing her into a corner against the wall. He then scrutinized the woman before him with his clear, bright eyes.
Huang Yujia’s outfit today was rather casual: just a purple-black lace dress, with flesh-colored stockings covering her snow-white thighs and black sandals on her feet. A cascade of voluminous waves rested lazily on one fair, smooth shoulder. Her delicate face bore light makeup that highlighted her bright eyes and glistening, full lips. An alluring air of elegance and charm was as prominent as the formidable curve of her chest, practically bursting forth.
Chen Pingchuan felt his scalp tingle as if a fire of desire had suddenly ignited in the depths of his heart. He took a step back and, in a deliberately composed tone, said, "Landlady, you don’t want your secret getting out, do you?"
"In that case, you’d better start thinking hard about what you’re going to do to make me keep it."
"And don’t ask me what I want. Think about what you have to offer."
