Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 299 - 143 Double Kill, Moon Goddess Falls into the Trap_3

Seeing Zhong Tingyue’s silence, Li Yuan knew what it meant. Sometimes, silence was an agreement. If he kept asking, it would only be counterproductive. After all, if a girl truly wanted to object, she would have said so directly.

His heart blazing, Li Yuan promptly swept Zhong Tingyue up into his arms.

Carried in his arms like a princess, Zhong Tingyue exclaimed, "Senior, put me down quickly."

Li Yuan chuckled without letting go. "Little Moon, you’re so light. With your weight, I could carry two of you."

With her arms around Li Yuan’s neck, Zhong Tingyue gave him a playful glare and pouted, "Senior, besides me, who else do you want to carry? Do you want me to introduce you to the pretty girls from our Finance Academy? There are plenty of them, you know. One is even prettier than me. If you met her, you’d definitely fall for her."

Li Yuan retorted, "Little Moon, when did you learn to lie?"

"How am I lying?"

"The most beautiful girl in all of Daxia University is right here in my arms. Having you in this life is enough." He paused. "No, I misspoke. For this life and the next, and the one after that—as long as I have you, I’ll be content."

"You’re such a smooth-talker," Zhong Tingyue huffed, though she sounded pleased.

Li Yuan laughed to himself. What girl doesn’t like sweet talk? Everyone enjoys a good compliment. Even as a man, I like to hear others say I’m handsome or in great shape.

Carrying Zhong Tingyue, Li Yuan walked toward the parking lot. Passersby stopped to stare, likely wondering why he was carrying her so late at night. They probably assumed the couple had tired themselves out from some... vigorous outdoor activity.

Zhong Tingyue buried her head in Li Yuan’s chest. Being lifted so easily and feeling the strength of his body gave her an incredible sense of security. She had never been held like this before and was overcome with shyness.

Her cheeks flushed crimson. With one arm wrapped around Li Yuan’s neck and the other holding her bag, she whispered shyly into his ear, "Senior, please put me down."

Li Yuan laughed heartily, teasing her, "Why should I? Are you worried I’ll get tired? Holding you like this is quite comfortable and convenient. It feels very nice."

As he spoke, his hand roamed mischievously and gave her plump bottom a firm squeeze.

The sensation was fantastic.

Zhong Tingyue grew even more embarrassed, her eyes welling with tears as she looked on the verge of crying. "You big pervert! You just love to bully me."

Bullying? This is nothing, Li Yuan thought. Just wait until we get home. Then I’ll show you some *real* bullying. A real man proves his worth on the battlefield. Talk is cheap.

Moving as if he had wings, Li Yuan quickly reached the BMW X6 parked by the roadside and gently set Zhong Tingyue down.

With another hearty laugh, Li Yuan opened the car door, bowed, and extended his hand in one fluid motion.

"The most beautiful princess in the entire world, your chariot awaits."

Zhong Tingyue glanced shyly at Li Yuan, her body trembling slightly as she obediently got into the car. Her heart was in turmoil, anything but calm. She knew what getting into this car meant and what would likely happen tonight... At the thought, her face grew even redder.

Seeing her shy expression, Li Yuan’s heart bloomed with joy. He quickly got into the car, started the engine, and headed home.

In his eagerness, Li Yuan started driving a little too fast.

Zhong Tingyue stole a glance at him and whispered a gentle reminder, "Senior, don’t drive so fast. I’m a little scared."

"Don’t worry, I’m a very steady driver. I’ve been driving for years and have never had an accident." Li Yuan composed himself and slowed down. It was already eleven o’clock at night, so the roads were much emptier.

Zhong Tingyue giggled. "Senior, could you at least try to be more serious when you lie? We just started university and only recently got our driver’s licenses."

Li Yuan laughed. "Little Moon, you forgot. I also drove for many years in my past life."

Zhong Tingyue smiled coyly and teased, "Senior, since you’ve been reborn, you must know what the future holds, right? What are tomorrow’s winning lottery numbers? I’ll go buy a ticket and try to become a billionaire."

Li Yuan shook his head, thinking of the shady dealings in the domestic lottery industry. Anyone who believes in that is an idiot.

"Little Moon, even if I told you tomorrow’s winning numbers right now, do you honestly believe the numbers drawn live tomorrow wouldn’t just... change?"

Zhong Tingyue understood his meaning and asked in surprise, "Senior, is the lottery industry really that corrupt?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Li Yuan nodded with a smile. "That wasn’t a question. It’s a statement of fact."

Zhong Tingyue bit her lip playfully. "What a shame. So much for my dream of getting rich overnight."

"Not necessarily," Li Yuan said with a smile. "Once the bubble tea shop opens, you’ll be a little rich lady. When that time comes, you can be the boss, and I’ll just mooch off you. My little rich lady, please keep me."

Zhong Tingyue burst out laughing, and much of her earlier nervousness melted away. She smiled playfully.

"Senior, if that day really comes, I’ll support you."

"Then it’s a deal. I’ll be counting on you to take care of me from now on."

Li Yuan’s mind drifted. If, in the future, my girlfriends all become powerful tycoons worth billions, it wouldn’t be so bad to be a kept man. Living off them shamelessly, a kept man who’s still the man of the house... now that’s the real sweet life. I’d better start working on my fitness and make sure my engine stays powerful.

Amidst their casual chat, Li Yuan’s eager anticipation grew as he drove into the Jinxiu Villas estate. I had originally thought about getting a hotel room, but they don’t feel safe. What if there was a hidden camera? Ending up on some website would be a disaster...
