I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 171 Playing with Fire

Shen Yuan turned around and gazed directly at Qiao Lei, "You want to play with fire?"

"No."

Qiao Lei's expression was calm as she tiptoed slightly, "I just want to try what kissing feels like."

"Alright."

Shen Yuan bowed his head and leaned in, stopping about 1 centimeter away, and stared at Qiao Lei's expression with his eyes open.

She indeed was pure and beautiful, her face round but devoid of any excess fat, and her skin was so fair that you could see the bluish veins.

Qiao Lei did not close her eyes either, her large eyes fixated on Shen Yuan, her lips slightly parted in anticipation of his approach.

Shen Yuan did not lean in but reached behind her and gently unfastened the clasp of her bra.

At this, the composed Qiao Lei, showed a rare flicker of panic in her eyes.

"I just wanted you to kiss me."

"Hmm, I know."

Shen Yuan was very passive today, completely led by the nose by Qiao Lei, doing entirely as she pleased.

He thought since it was their first time going out, he would respect the wishes of the young girl and not press her into anything unwilling.

But Qiao Lei just had to play with fire, saying in the suite to kiss her one more time before leaving?

And even using the car lights to press against his back?

Could he endure this?

Thinking this, Shen Yuan exhibited the skills of a craftsman, crafting even though the pure cotton fabric.

The Newtonian fluid in Shen Yuan's hands seemed like a balloon, being transformed into various shapes.

"Shen Yuan, something's off with me..."

The pale-skinned Qiao Lei, illuminated by the light, was as white as snow, but now her cheeks flushed a deep red.

"What's off?"

Shen Yuan asked softly.

"Everything is off."

Qiao Lei let out a long "Hmm," feeling increasingly uneasy, probably due to the soft spots in Shen Yuan's hands.

She gathered her strength, grabbed Shen Yuan's hands, and earnestly reminded him, "You said you wouldn't take advantage of me."

"I'm not taking advantage of you, this is just the foreplay to a kiss."

Shen Yuan said reassuringly, then broke free from her hands and continued his craftsman's creation.

Only this time, he created directly inside the bra, without the barrier of pure cotton.

It took Qiao Lei a moment to realize, this kiss wasn't that kind of kiss, and Shen Yuan was deliberately misinterpreting her words.

A wave of mortification surged through her heart.

At the same time, because of Shen Yuan's creation, the red flush on Qiao Lei's cheeks spread outward from her face, quickly reaching her neck and chest...

Qiao Lei struggled instinctively, but her small stature at 162 cm could hardly compete with Shen Yuan, who was 182 cm and went to the gym daily.

As the struggle continued, Qiao Lei completely ran out of strength, feeling weak all over.

Soon, Qiao Lei felt the "kiss", although this "kiss" hadn't touched the supposed spot.

She instinctively covered her mouth, straightening her legs involuntarily.

——

After a while, Shen Yuan stood up, licking his lips, "Not bad, tastes a bit milky."

Qiao Lei hadn't recovered yet, and if not for Shen Yuan's support, her body would have collapsed to the ground.

She opened her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with humiliation as she stared at Shen Yuan, "Is this how you deceive other girls as well?"

"No need to deceive."

Shen Yuan said earnestly, "They willingly come to me."

"I don't believe you, you're bragging."

Qiao Lei retorted coquettishly, then thought for a second and added, "It indeed felt comfortable, but not today."

"Whether it's today or not isn't for you to decide."

Shen Yuan grabbed her slender shoulders, looking straight at her, "Remember, you're only in reserve, not yet official. Today I'm just letting you off temporarily."

Qiao Lei paused, "What do you mean by reserve?"

"You'll understand later."

After saying this, Shen Yuan pushed open the door and left the suite.

With a "clunk" of the door, Qiao Lei's tense shoulders finally relaxed, and she let out a deep breath.

After all, she was an inexperienced girl who had never been through such a scenario. If Shen Yuan had been a bit more shameless, she would probably have been devoured alive.

Such an incident was bound to happen sooner or later, but Qiao Lei wasn't psychologically prepared yet, which is why she had suggested dating a few times before giving in to him.

She also knew this was the most precious thing a girl could offer, the more easily a man gets it, the less he will cherish it.

"Luckily, although Shen Yuan is lecherous, he hasn't gone to that extent yet."

Qiao Lei reached behind her back and re-fastened the clasp of her bra.

At the same time, she noticed something was off below, sticky and messy.

"I'm too useless."

Qiao Lei shook her head lightly, then began assessing the hundred-square-meter suite...

By then, Shen Yuan had already gone downstairs, arranging a designated driver with the lobby manager to head for the Dongsheng Neighborhood.

He knew he could have taken advantage of Qiao Lei today in the heat of the moment.

But such things should proceed only when both parties are willing; otherwise, what difference would there be from a soulless encounter?

Moreover, gradually nurturing a relationship has more of a sense of achievement than being a heartless player.

Besides, tonight's "kiss" would surely give her something to ponder deeply about.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Qiao Lei sent him a WeChat message, "Shen Yuan, where are you going to sleep so late at night?"

Shen Yuan replied directly, "Going to see another woman."

Qiao Lei: "Is she prettier than me?"

Shen Yuan smiled to himself, thinking this girl was quite confident. However, comparing Lih Xiao and her sister Lih Meng to Qiao Lei, each had their own unique features.

Qiao Lei had a youthful beauty, fair-skinned with a full figure;

while Lih Xiao was the intellectual kind of beautiful, wearing glasses and exuding an air of a scholar everywhere;

and Lih Meng represented the beauty of contrasts, outwardly cold and spicy but secretly sultry, endowed with smooth, long legs;

and their careers also added to their personas, with Qiao Lei being a cosplayer, Lih Xiao a teacher, and Lih Meng a flight attendant.

Shen Yuan thought it would be nice if he could enjoy the fortune of having multiple partners one day.

With his current combat power, not to mention two, he could handle three at once.

Daydreaming, Shen Yuan replied to the message, "A tad prettier than you."

Qiao Lei: "Alright, no wonder you can resist."

Shen Yuan: "Anything else? If not, go to sleep early."

Qiao Lei: "Nothing else, just a bit damp, no pants to change into."

Shen Yuan's eyelid twitched, suspecting she did it on purpose. He had been too softhearted just now; he should have taken care of her directly.

As the designated driver hadn't arrived yet, Shen Yuan tentatively replied, "I'll buy a pair for you and bring them over."

Qiao Lei saw through his little scheme: "Don't come over, I've already bolted the door and won't open it. I just checked, I can ask the guestroom manager to send some disposable ones."

Shen Yuan felt like cursing, thinking why did you even ask then!

I'll totally set you straight someday!

Cursing inwardly, Shen Yuan couldn't be bothered to reply anymore, just as the designated driver arrived.

"Hello, this is Didi designated driving, may I ask if this is the car with the license plate ending in 115..."

The driver stopped halfway, realizing he had asked in vain because this was the same Mercedes owner he had just served.

But it hadn't even been half an hour, was he done that quick?

Or did things not work out?

No way?

Even wealthy people face barriers?

The driver felt confused.

Shen Yuan also recognized this was the same driver as before, but he didn't care about others' opinions and went straight into the back seat.

Not long after he settled in the back seat, Qiao Lei sent him another WeChat message.

"Are you angry?"

Shen Yuan: "No, stop bothering me, I'm about to spend a romantic night with another woman."

Qiao Lei: "That's quite hurtful, especially since you just kissed me."

Shen Yuan: "Same for both of us."

Qiao Lei: "Want to see the photos of me cosplaying? It might warm you up."

Shen Yuan: "Not interested."

Qiao Lei: "I don't care, I'm going to send them anyway."

Qiao Lei stubbornly sent some selfies.

There were pictures of Shiranui Mai, Chun-Li, Athena, Medusa, Qian Renxue...

Shen Yuan casually flicked through them; they were quite risqué, so he asked, "Did you rent or buy these costumes?"

Qiao Lei: "Some are rented, some bought."

Shen Yuan: "Got it."

Shen Yuan mostly knew these characters; it seemed there would be fun times ahead.

They could always switch up the roles, which was quite a nice thought.

It was already 12:30 AM by the time he arrived at Dongsheng Neighborhood. Shen Yuan raised his hand and rang the doorbell twice.

It was late; he wondered if Teacher Lih had gone to sleep.

He hadn't told Lih Xiao before coming; if he had, she probably wouldn't have agreed, so it was better to simply show up at her door smelling of alcohol.

Your journey continues at empire

It took a long while before someone came out, making rustling noises inside, probably peeking through the peephole to see who it was outside.

Then the door opened, and it turned out to be Lih Meng.

"Why have you come so late?"

Lih Meng rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Her face bare, she wore a cream-colored slip dress and her hair was loosely spread.

Even without makeup, Lih Meng's oval face was still delicate, especially as the slip dress outlined the beautiful curves of her waist and hips.

"Got drunk, couldn't find a place to sleep," Shen Yuan came up with an excuse.

"You might fool my sister with that, but not me."

Lih Meng stood with one hand on her hip, "Are you here for me or my sister? If it's my sister, she's already asleep. Please come again tomorrow."

"If it's for me, I'm sorry, but I'm also about to go to sleep. Maybe we can catch up some other time."

"You're thinking too much."

Shen Yuan shrugged his shoulders, "I just want to sleep on your couch."

Lih Meng let out a laugh, "You sure can pretend."

"Are you going to let me in or not?"

Shen Yuan thought if Lih Meng didn't agree, he would just force his way in since the door was already open.

"What's this, you trying to force..."

Lih Meng hadn't finished speaking when Shen Yuan pushed her inside and didn't forget to pull the door shut behind him.

The door closed with a clang, not too forcefully, but it made Lih Meng flinch, she quickly whispered, "Hold on, my sister might have heard that."

"Don't worry, let's go to the bedroom."

Shen Yuan wrapped his arm around Lih Meng and entered the bedroom, then gently shut the door.

At that moment, there was the sound of a door opening from the opposite bedroom. Lih Meng thought to herself, that was bad, the sound of the door closing must have woken her up.

Neither of them dared to move now; Shen Yuan paused his actions and listened intently to the noises outside.

In the living room, Lih Xiao got up groggily, turned on the light, saw no one was there, and then knocked on Lih Meng's bedroom door:

"Lih Meng, are you asleep? What was that noise just now? I heard something."

Lih Meng's heart raced, and she replied tiredly, "I just went to the bathroom, I closed the door a bit forcefully."

"Oh, okay then."

After that, Lih Xiao returned to her own bedroom.

Lih Meng, hearing the sound of the door closing on the opposite side, heaved a big sigh of relief and looked at Shen Yuan, whispering, "You're bold, aren't you? Aren't you afraid my sister would find out?"

Shen Yuan just smiled nonchalantly, "If she finds out, we'll include her too."

Lih Meng scoffed, "Keep dreaming."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Lih Meng wanted to scorn him a bit more, but Shen Yuan suddenly pressed her against the desk, and Lih Meng became utterly flustered...
