Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Beauty Trap Fails

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming swallowed hard and took a fierce look at Li Xiaoli’s figure before shaking his head and saying, "First clarify, what exactly do you want to do? Why do I have a bad premonition?"

"How annoying. Making someone say it so bluntly, it’s embarrassing."

Li Xiaoli sent Tang Ming a flirty glance and languidly said, "As long as you agree to stay, I’ll agree to be your girlfriend, and you can touch me whenever you want, how about that?"

"Bribing?"

Tang Ming widened his eyes in shock and stared at Li Xiaoli with disbelief.

"It’s called a beauty trap."

Li Xiaoli immediately corrected him.

"Pfft!"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "You really are bold. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take advantage and still leave? In the end, you’ll be the one losing out."

"Hehe, of course, I won’t let you take all the advantage at once."

Li Xiaoli smiled triumphantly and seductively said, "Let’s start with letting you touch a few times today, then once you agree to be my boyfriend, we can explore further."

"Forget it."

Tang Ming glared at Li Xiaoli angrily and gritted his teeth, "This thing is poisonous, better I don’t touch it. I can’t stay just for you, so don’t waste your effort."

After understanding Li Xiaoli’s intentions, Tang Ming immediately regained his sense, while stuffing a tissue in his nostril, he thought to himself, "She really is beauty without brains, fortunately, I am a gentleman, otherwise, faced with this temptation, any other man would seek to take full advantage, then go about his business!"

"Tang Ming, are you even a man?"

Seeing Tang Ming actually rejected her, Li Xiaoli said angrily, "Don’t you know it’s a sin to refuse what’s offered at your doorstep?"

"A sin or not, I still refuse!"

Tang Ming smirked, clearly uninterested.

"You... then I will give myself to you today, surely you must agree to stay now?"

Li Xiaoli looked pitifully at Tang Ming, desperate to keep him.

"Sigh, I’ve already decided to leave, nothing can change my decision, you better go back."

Seeing Li Xiaoli go to such lengths, Tang Ming felt moved and helpless, but he had to leave, there was no other way.

"Do I really have no allure in your eyes, Tang Ming?"

Li Xiaoli’s eyes reddened, and she looked grievously at Tang Ming while tearing at her nightgown and harshly said, "I’m serious, I can give myself to you right now if you’ll stay."

"Don’t mess around!"

Seeing her actions, Tang Ming instantly panicked and quickly wrapped Li Xiaoli’s body with a blanket.

Her figure was already irresistible, and dressed so provocatively, if she were to undress further, Tang Ming doubted he could control himself.

"Tang Ming, what do I need to do for you to agree to stay?"

Li Xiaoli struggled and shouted emotionally.

"I really must leave, don’t waste any more effort..."

Tang Ming’s words were cut off as the door was kicked open.

"Xiaoli, stop begging him."

Liu Mengting, wearing only a bath towel, walked in with a cold expression.

"You came just in time, Xiaoli’s gone crazy, talk some sense into her."

Tang Ming quickly asked for help.

"Yes, Xiaoli has gone mad, all because of you, you heartless, cold-blooded creature!"

Liu Mengting shouted through gritted teeth.

"What?"

Tang Ming looked at her in dismay, completely confused.

Liu Mengting stepped forward, pulling Li Xiaoli to her side and looked at Tang Ming with disgust, "I thought after being together for so long, we would have developed feelings. But Xiaoli is already in this state, and you’re still insisting on leaving. Are you even human?"

"Sister Meng Meng."

Seeing Liu Mengting lose her temper, Li Xiaoli spoke up, trying to mediate.

"You don’t need to speak up for him."

Liu Mengting interrupted Li Xiaoli and coldly glared at Tang Ming, "You arrived in Songlan City with no relatives or support, completely dependent. It was my dad who found you a job, provided you with food and shelter, and even bought you clothes and a cellphone. But now that you’ve grown wings, you say you’re leaving just like that, you ingratitude!"

Tang Ming opened his mouth but didn’t argue. Perhaps letting Liu Mengting hate him would be for the best.

"Coward, weakling, are you just afraid of facing danger again? Xiaoli and I aren’t scared, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing that Tang Ming remained silent, Liu Mengting grew even angrier. After a tirade, she dragged a reluctant Li Xiaoli out of the room.

"Ha!"

After the two women left, Tang Ming gave a bitter smile and lay back on the bed. How he wished that all this was just a dream!

Once Liu Mengting pulled Li Xiaoli back to the bedroom, she was shaking with rage.

"Sister Meng Meng, this doesn’t seem quite like the plot we discussed.

Li Xiaoli looked at Liu Mengting, puzzled, "Wasn’t it said that if I couldn’t manage, you’d step in? Why did you start yelling at him?"

"There’s no need to hold him back, let him go!"

Liu Mengting wiped her eyes, threw off her towel, and said through clenched teeth, "You, a girl, lowered your dignity and shame to keep him here, but he was completely unmoved, just like a cold-blooded creature!"

After dropping the towel, Liu Mengting revealed a similarly appealing set of red sleepwear underneath. This was part of the ruse, agreed upon by Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting as a ’beauty trap’ to keep Tang Ming around. Li Xiaoli would make the first move, and if that failed, then Liu Mengting would take over.

But seeing Tang Ming unaffected by Li Xiaoli’s attempts, Liu Mengting got furious, leading to the previous scene.

"But Tang Ming is really leaving now, what should we do?"

Li Xiaoli asked, conflicted.

"Turn off the lights and go to sleep!"

Liu Mengting climbed into bed, shouting angrily!

The next morning.

Tang Ming packed his things, which weren’t much, just a backpack he had when he arrived, and he didn’t take any of the new clothes.

When Tang Ming wore his old clothes and descended the stairs with his bag, only Liu Gaoze was downstairs.

Liu Gaoze looked on with a complex expression at the plainly dressed Tang Ming, who appeared just as mysterious and low-key as he did the first time they met on the train.

"Are you leaving?"

Liu Gaoze asked somewhat sadly.

"Yes, I’m leaving."

Tang Ming looked up towards the third floor. The two women hadn’t shown themselves yet, probably still upset from last night.

"Sigh, there’s no feast that doesn’t come to an end. Back when I tricked you into coming here, I thought you and Mengting might work out, but I never expected..."

Liu Gaoze sighed helplessly, wishing he had been upfront with Tang Ming from the start to prevent Liu Mengting from falling into such distress.
