Chapter 330: Chapter 354: How Deep

Leaving the Lin Family, Zhou Peilan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air and felt inexplicably relieved; however, thinking of something troubling, her brows furrowed with a sense of helplessness.

Fang Yi raised his hand and patted her shoulder, asking, "Thinking about your unscrupulous father?"

Zhou Peilan gently hummed in agreement and nodded slightly.

Fang Yi laughed and said, "Why think so much about him? It’s better off without such a father. From now on, I’ll be by your side. I won’t let you suffer or feel aggrieved. In short, leave everything to me. I’ve got it all covered."

With that, Fang Yi patted his chest with a bold and confident air.

Zhou Peilan bit her lip and asked, "The things you said that night... were you serious?"

Fang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then recalled their conversation at Golden Splendor that night, and with a slight smile, he replied, "Of course I was serious. From now on, I am your man and you are my woman."

Zhou Peilan hesitated slightly and asked, "But what about President Shen?"

Fang Yi grinned sheepishly, "Well..."

********

Fang Yi was somewhat caught off guard by Zhou Peilan’s initiative. Before he could speak, Zhou Peilan leaned her cheek against his shoulder, their skin touching, and the faint scent of her perfume drifted into his nostrils.

"Peilan," Fang Yi whispered.

"Hmm?" Zhou Peilan suddenly lifted her hand and gently caressed Fang Yi’s cheek, murmuring softly, "Whether it’s President Shen or another woman, as long as you don’t send me away, I won’t leave. But if you ask me to leave, I will go without clinging to you."

Though her words were carefree, they carried a tone of loneliness and pleading that was heart-wrenching. Even the hardest of hearts might melt in such a moment.

Fang Yi raised his hand and gently patted Zhou Peilan’s smooth back, feeling its silkiness, and he responded, "Hmm."

It was just one word, but Fang Yi felt that no amount of words could outweigh actions.

As a man, demonstrating through actions that he was there for his woman was all that was necessary.

After a long moment of intimacy, their relationship was settled at that time, and Fang Yi led Zhou Peilan away. Just as they left, a woman came out at the entrance of the Lin Family home.

Lin Mengyan watched the two figures departing together and couldn’t help but show a bitter smile laced with self-mockery.

...

At eight o’clock in the evening, Fang Yi promptly went to the Regent Hotel for an appointment.

As for Zhou Peilan, Fang Yi had wanted to arrange a hotel room for her, but she declined and took a taxi to Huo Xiaoxuan’s house, which was reportedly very large and had no problem accommodating another person.

Upon entering the hotel, Fang Yi inquired at the reception, reported the room number, and followed a waiter to the front of a suite.

"Ding-dong~~~"

Fang Yi rang the doorbell.

After a moment, the door opened, and Lin Xueru appeared at the doorway, but what surprised Fang Yi was her attire; it was extremely seductive.

Fang Yi’s eyes heated up, and he couldn’t help but laugh, "Miss Lin, you have a great figure. The phrase ’beauty that causes the downfall of cities’ is most fitting for you."

However, Lin Xuye showed no change of expression and indifferently said, "You flatter me."

Fang Yi inwardly remarked on her composure. His demeanor just now had been rather lecherous, but Lin Xueru was unmoved, which showed her deep cunning.

"Come in," Lin Xueru said, already turning away.

Fang Yi’s lecherous demeanor was a test, but Lin Xueru’s seductive appeal might also be a test; it was uncertain because her cunning was indeed frightening.

Once inside the suite, Lin Xueru turned to look at Fang Yi, asking, "What would you like to drink?"

Fang Yi’s gaze shifted to a half-filled glass of milk on the coffee table, more lecherous than before, and he joked, "I’d like to drink this; I wonder if Miss Lin would mind?"

Lin Xueru’s eyes flashed with surprise, then she casually waved her hand, saying, "Please, go ahead."

So, without hesitation, Fang Yi picked up the half glass of milk and drank it all in one gulp.

Both were well aware of what that half glass of milk meant; surely Lin Xueru had drunk from it before, and Fang Yi’s action was a further test of Lin Xueru’s limits.

From Lin Xueru’s reaction, it was clear her limits were not yet reached.

Fang Yi purposefully exhaled, sat on the couch, and crossed his legs. He took out a pack of ten-yuan cigarettes from his pocket, waved it at Lin Xueru, who slightly narrowed her eyes and said, "Whatever."

Fang Yi really took the liberty of lighting a cigarette and began smoking, laughing, "By the way, where’s that high monk who’s usually with Miss Lin? Why isn’t he here?"

Lin Xueru sat on the adjacent couch, also crossed her legs, and propped up her cheek with one hand, saying, "In these ’bright lights and wine,’ the nightlife has just begun. Even a monk is a person and naturally goes out to seek pleasure."

Fang Yi nodded and then laughed, "With such a beauty as Miss Lin nearby, yet that monk seeks pleasure afar, that’s rather ridiculous."

Lin Xueru was silent for a while, her eyes suddenly showing seriousness as she said softly, "Fang Yi, you don’t need to probe my limits step by step. My tolerance is very deep; you can’t possibly probe it out."

Fang Yi slightly raised an eyebrow, asking, "How deep?"

Lin Xueru replied, "Very deep."

Fang Yi squinted slightly and smirked flirtatiously, "Really deep? Can you let me experience it?"

This ambiguous statement instantly brought a cold glare from Lin Xueru. As she looked at Fang Yi, intense hostility radiated from her eyes.
