“Si…” Ye Qian breathed a small exclamation of pain. This woman’s revenge was a little strong. He turned his head to face her and smiled, he pinched Qin Yue’s cheeks and said, “So obedient!”

Qin Yue did not expect that Ye Qian would follow up with her in such a way. It really made them look like they were a couple bantering with each other flirtatiously. Wei Cheng Long gritted his teeth with much hate, not able to stand watching them any longer, else he might get a heart disease.

“Qin Yue, then I’ll go ahead. Remember to go to the ball this weekend.” After Wei Cheng Long said this, he left.

“You still won’t let go?” Qin Yue said while glaring at Ye Qian once Wei Cheng Long had left.

Ye Qian chuckled and released his hold on her shoulder, sorrowfully saying, “Ay, you destroy the bridge after crossing the river, you hurt me.”

Qin Yue glared at Ye Qian and said, “Don’t think that I won’t hold you accountable for what just happened. You dare to pinch my cheek.”

“Explain yourself! Hey, you pinched me first.” Ye Qian said innocently.

“Who told you to touch me! If you didn’t touch me first I wouldn’t have pinched you!” Qin Yue said.

“Wasn’t I just playing a part. How else could I make it believable.” Ye Qian replied.

“I don’t care, anyway, it’s all your fault!” Qin Yue replied.

“Yeah, I’m the bastard, I’m the one who lost it that time, right? Women are really so unreasonable.” Ye Qian muttered, then asked, “Right, who was that fellow just now? He seemed to like you.”

Qin Ye snorted disdainfully then replied, “He’s delusional. Have you ever heard of the East Ascension Conglomerate?”

“East Ascension Conglomerate? Sounds familiar.” Ye Qian nodded as he recalled that Zhao Tian Hao had mentioned the East Ascension Conglomerate to him.

“He’s the crown prince of East Ascension Conglomerate. The East Ascension Conglomerate is very influential in Shanghai. Aren’t you afraid that Wei Cheng Long will try to get revenge on you?” Qin Ye teased.

“Ah? You should have said so earlier. This is bad, this is bad, I just jumped into living hell. This can’t be. I should hurry and go explain everything to Wei Cheng Long. I should tell him that you’re not my girlfriend and was only a scapegoat.” Ye Qian put on a fake face full of fear.

“You wouldn’t dare!” Qin Yue glared at Ye Qian.

“Kao, why wouldn’t I dare? Why should I pretend to be your boyfriend? It has no benefits. Now even my life is in danger.” Ye Qian replied.

“Don’t be so rude!” Qin Ye said sternly. Then she smiled slightly and said, “What sort of benefits do you want?”

Ye Qian grinned mischievously as he as he said, “Since you’re my girlfriend, at the very least won’t you give me a kiss?”

“Dream on! No way. Besides, we were only faking.” Qin Yue rejected. She thought that even though Ye Qian had voluntarily helped her, she was still using him after all. She thought that she must give him some small reward. She smiled slightly then said, “Why don’t we eat out?”

“You want me just to eat with you and just let me go, ah? Do you think I’m a fool like Wei Cheng Long?” Ye Qian waved his hands dismissively, “No way, do you think I have a lot of money?”

“It’ll be my treat, how about it?” Qin Yue said.

“Sure. That is pretty okay. Alright, it will have to do.” Ye Qian had a “taking advantage of you” expression, as though allowing Qin Yue to take him out to eat was showing her a lot favor.

Qin Yue saw his expression and glared at him, “Meet me outside at 6PM after class. Don’t be late!”

“Hehe, I’ve never been late for a free meal.” Ye Qian smiled devilishly.

Even though Ye Qian acted like a rogue, Qin Yue was certain that it was only his outward appearance because she had seen many rogues before. Those uncles and brothers in her family, they were all lowly rogues. “Alright, go to your next class. I still have to prepare my lesson plan.” After Qin Yue said this she lowered her head to look at her teaching materials.

Ye Qian twitched his lips then got up to leave.

He hadn’t reached classroom entrance yet when his cellphone began to ring. When he answered the phone he heard Zhao Tian Hao’s voice, “Ye Qian, this is Zhao Tian Hao. I think your plan is very good, let’s go with it.”

Ye Qian seemed to be at a loss, he replied in a confused manner, “My plan?”

“Huh? Weren’t you the one who pretended to be Ya’er, that yatou’s, boyfriend? Just a moment ago Ya’er called me, and I thought your plan was not bad, so I played along with it. Don’t worry, you can continue to pretend to be Ya’er boyfriend and watch her closely. This will help your movements.” Zhao Tian Hao said.

When he heard up to this point Ye Qian understood everything clearly. He had planned to call Zhao Tian Hao first to talk about it, who knew he’d agree immediately. Ye Qian couldn’t help but smile when he thought about how that yatou must be feeling right now. “Great! I started this without Mr. Zhao’s permission, I hope you can forgive me.” Ye Qian was quite pleased with himself. Even though he said these words, he had a pleased expression on his face.

Zhao Tian Hao laughed and replied, “It’s fine. My unruly daughter needs Mr. Ye’s protection. If anything goes wrong, I am asking Mr. Ye to please give me face and don’t let her know.”

Ye Qian felt at ease; this was the rules of picking up girls. He thought, this Zhao Tian Hao was an open-minded person. He would be an okay father-in-law. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they ended their conversation. It was dismissal time. When Ye Qian reached the classroom entrance, he saw that only a few students were left. The fuming Zhao Ya was seated inside.

Ye Qian couldn’t help trembling a little, he turned around about to leave, but Zhao Yan discovered him, the culprit of her anger, and yelled out, “Stop!”

Ye Qian laughed mischievously, walking towards Zhao Ya, he said ingratiatingly, “Xifu, do you have a command?”

“Who’s your wife! Don’t speak nonsense! Xifu, xifu, it’s very unpleasant to hear! I’m telling you, there is no way I’m going to marry you!” Zhao Ya said.

“Alright I won’t call you xifu, I’ll just call you laopo.” When Ye Qian saw her fuming appearance earlier. he planned on either avoiding her or placating her, but now that he was in front of her he couldn’t resist teasing her. “Laopo, with this matter of marriage, let’s just make do with what we got. You should stop being so picky. After we pass this village there will be no more shops. Even though I’m not a handsome and talented guy, but I have what men are supposed to have, let’s handle the formalities as soon as possible, bear a pile of babies for me.”
