Chapter 149: Chapter 149: So You Thought So Too

To ensure he could go to bed and sleep tonight, Cheng Yi stopped teasing her and, taking her hand, said, "Of course I have."

"Then why don’t you go take a shower quickly?"

Cheng Yi chuckled and lightly tickled Xinan’s nose before getting up and heading into the bathroom.

As the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom, Xinan couldn’t help but recall his movements just now. This man, it seemed, was getting better and better at flirting.

After his shower, Cheng Yi emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel. His chest was broad and muscular, his abdominal muscles well-defined without a trace of excess fat. Xinan couldn’t help but ask, "I’ve never seen you exercise, how can you be in such good shape?"

"It must be natural," Cheng Yi said with a smile, tossing the towel on the couch before walking to the bed and lying down beside Xinan.

In the next second, Xinan was encircled in Cheng Yi’s arms, the scent of shower gel immediately filling her senses.

Of course, Xinan didn’t believe Cheng Yi’s nonsense—no one is born with a six-pack and abs!

Seeing the disbelief on Xinan’s face, Cheng Yi touched her head, "Silly, I go to the gym."

"Oh," she thought. It made sense why Cheng Yi was in such good shape.

Xinan reached down to touch her own stomach, feeling like she had gained weight recently. Perhaps it was time for her to start going to the gym as well.

Cheng Yi, adoration on his face, bent down to kiss her forehead.

What started as an innocent embrace between the two soon escalated, as one of them initiated a kiss that quickly turned intense.

Then, as clothes fell away, but at the pivotal moment, Cheng Yi stopped. His eyes hazy, he gazed at Xinan, "I need to take a shower."

He hadn’t brought *that* item with him, and the last one had been used up previously.

Just as he was about to get out of bed, Xinan grabbed his arm, "There’s one in the bedside drawer."

A flash of surprise crossed Cheng Yi’s face, "Where did you get *that* from?"

"I picked it up casually when I was at the supermarket," Xinan’s face turned red as she shyly said, "Do you still want to continue?"

Cheng Yi laughed, "Yes."

He opened the bedside drawer, and sure enough, there was a box of *that*. His smile deepened, and after he took it out, he gazed at it for a moment, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

Cheng Yi buried his head in the nape of Xinan’s neck and exhaled a warm breath, then whispered in her ear, "So you wanted it too..."

"You..." Xinan’s face blushed as if she were about to bleed.

Cheng Yi stopped teasing her and went straight for her lips, one hand gently resting on her waist...

That night, Cheng Yi didn’t talk to Xinan about the photo. Since it had already been so long, he thought it best to let it be; he would take care of all the trouble.

Xinan just needed to focus on acting, running the company, and waiting to become his bride.

After Xinan had fallen sound asleep, Cheng Yi’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing Xinan’s brow furrow, Cheng Yi took his phone out to the balcony and closed the windows to block any sound.

Then he answered the phone.

"Mr. Yi, the person who sent the letter is Lin Wei. She bought the photo from a phone repair shop."

Upon hearing the name Lin Wei, Cheng Yi’s face instantly darkened. This person really was relentless. Hadn’t she learned her lesson from before?

Cheng Yi wasn’t a fool. If Lin Wei had sent the photo to him, it meant she wanted to negotiate terms. So, he asked indifferently, "What are her conditions?"

Ye Rui replied, "She wants fifty million."

Cheng Yi snorted coldly, "She sure doesn’t ask for little."

"Should we give her the money?"

The corner of Cheng Yi’s mouth revealed a mocking smile, "Sure, give it to her. But whether she can actually get her hands on the money, that’s another story..."

Bear in mind the last person who threatened him now had nothing left and had lost all reputation.

"Mr. Yi, are you planning to..."

Cheng Yi said, "Find a time to meet with her. Since she wants to do business with me, I should at least get to ’inspect the goods’ first."

"I understand, Mr. Yi."

Cheng Yi spoke again, "Right, go check on the person who sold the photos to Lin Wei, see if he has any other pictures, and afterwards, I will personally go and have a good talk with him."

Ye Rui knew that the "talk" Cheng Yi referred to was certainly not some simple negotiation. He dared not say more and immediately agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi walked into the bedroom, saw Xinan sleeping soundly, and his expression softened a great deal. He lay down on the bed and wrapped Xinan in his arms.

-

Less than two days after the photos were sent, Lin Wei received a call from Ye Rui. This wasn’t the first time she had spoken to him, so the moment she heard his voice, she recognized the identity of the caller, Cheng Yi’s assistant, Ye Rui.

Knowing that Cheng Yi wanted to see her, Lin Wei felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. But the moment she sent the pictures, she knew it wouldn’t be long before Cheng Yi would come to find her.

Lin Wei agreed. In fact, ever since Cheng Yi had left the hospital, she had given up all hope of ever seeing him again in this lifetime. Yet, unexpectedly, they were now about to meet again in this manner.

That day, Lin Wei still put on makeup and changed into a new dress.

The cafe where she was to meet Cheng Yi was relatively quiet, seldom crowded, making it an ideal place for private meetings.

When Lin Wei arrived at the cafe, Cheng Yi was already seated inside. Catching sight of his handsome face, Lin Wei paused for a moment.

Cheng Yi was dressed in a white shirt paired with black trousers today. His overall demeanor was incredibly refined. No matter when, he always seemed so enchanting, drawing people in despite the harsh words he had said to her before.

Lin Wei steadied her breath and walked toward Cheng Yi.

"I ordered you a cup of coffee," he said, placing a steaming cup before her.

Looking at the coffee, Lin Wei felt a warmth in her heart. Perhaps he wasn’t as indifferent to her as he appeared.

"Thank you," Lin Wei said softly.

Cheng Yi nodded slightly and then asked, "Did you bring the photos?"

"I brought them." Lin Wei took out the photos from her bag.

Cheng Yi reached out to take them, but she suddenly pulled back her hand and said, "I can’t give them to you now. Where’s the thing I asked for?"

Cheng Yi raised an eyebrow. It seemed she wasn’t so foolish after all, knowing the principle of exchanging goods for money.

"I wouldn’t carry fifty million in cash, would I? There’s two million in the black case by your foot. After you give me the photos, the rest will be transferred to your account."

"How can I trust you? What if you go back on your word after getting the photos?" Lin Wei was still uneasy.

"Do you think I would care about that fifty million?" Cheng Yi countered.

Lin Wei certainly knew that Cheng Yi would not be concerned about the fifty million, but she only had this one chance and couldn’t take the risk.

"You once said you liked me, didn’t you? But now, you have no trust in me at all. It seems your ’like’ was only so much after all..." His voice was incredibly seductive, making one unable to resist sinking into it.
