Yan Qingsi felt increasingly uncomfortable by the unrelenting stares from Yue Tingfeng, she had always assumed that her path to vengeance was hers to walk alone. Getting Yue Tingfeng involved twice in the past was not in the plan. She was backed into a corner and in order to save her own skin, she was forced to involve Tingfeng in her personal vendetta when he had caught up with her facade.

After spending some time with him, she felt a change of heart and had some mixed feelings brewing toward him. Because of her feelings for him, she was not clear as to what their relationship meant anymore. On top of that, it would be impossible for her to turn back at this point, so there will be no need for unnecessary collateral damage by getting him involved again.

Yan Qingsi subtly twitched the edge of her mouth and said, “Seems like you’re worried about me but it’s okay, don’t worry, I’m not that stupid…”

Hearing this, Yue Tingfeng let out a very sarcastic laugh. He mocked her and said, “Just how smart do you think you are? I was just letting you win all this time. You are completely out of your mind if you decide to play his game. You’re going to be outmatched by him considering his cunning nature and years of scummy experience. Yan Songnan is going to play you like a fiddle. The moment you make a deal with him, you had already given him some leverage against you. Just tell me what your plan is, I will take care of the rest.”

Yan Qingsi refused to give up. “No, none of that. Honest…” she said.

She felt a tightened grip on her chin. “Spill it, now. I mean it,” Yue Tingfeng probed.

The smile on Tingfeng’s face had disappeared completely, staring at Qingsi with the most serious look she had ever seen. He had always been quite laid back and casual around Qingsi but then, he was obviously not fooling around.

Yue Qingsi felt as if a vice grip had tightened around her heart since Tingfeng was unrelenting in invading her personal space. He did not care about what she thought, as he was persistent in getting himself involved in her personal vendetta. She was unsure if she should be happy about his intrusion or she should feel guilty about the whole ordeal.

The conflicting emotions were messing with her. She was happy because someone was insane enough to walk down this dark path with her. At the same time, she felt guilty because she did not know how to repay his reckless involvement.

“You don’t have to. I can handle this whole situation,” Yan Qingsi said while licking the edge of his lips.

This made Yue Tingfeng bite Qingsi’s lips. He said, “Sometimes, I really feel like beating you up. But don’t you worry, unlike you I happen to be a law-abiding citizen. Sometimes, in order to take someone out, breaking the law will not be necessary. You just don’t know how.”

“Are you insulting my intelligence?” Yan Qingsi said while staring at him.

Yue Tingfeng replied with a grin on his face, “So what if I am? Don’t try to change the topic, spill the beans now or you will not be leaving this office today.”

As he was saying that, Qingsi felt his hand going up to her skirt.

Qingsi quickly grabbed his hand stopping any more movement. She confessed, “I… I told him, if he wants the money, he will have to show how sincere he is to me. Ye Lingzhi will be bailed out soon, so a life for a life!”

Hearing her confession, Yue Tingfeng flicked her forehead hard and said, “Oh you fool… What can I say to you right now? Ye Lingzhi’s in-laws have ties to the mafia. They may have left that life behind but who knows how much of that life was truly left behind. Songnan would have known some parts of it, so he would not dare to murder her yet, or her family’s wrath will come his way. Hmph… This old scumbag, who knows what he’s plotting now.”

Yue Tingfeng was getting ready to release her and started heading toward the door. Qingsi asked, “Where are you going…”

He turned around and gave her a tight kiss on her lips to shut her up, then released her. “I need you to be a good girl and stay out of it. I will take care of your problems.”

Yan Qingsi frowned and said, “This is my problem, so let me…”

“It’s better for you to not say anything right now at the moment. I don’t want to hear you say that you will be dealing with this on your own without anyone’s help. Also, I’m not doing this to help you,” Tingfeng interrupted.

Just like that, Yue Tingfeng gave her a gentle push to sit her down on his chair.

After doing all of that, Yue Tingfeng sprinted out the door and locked it after he got out of his office. Leaving Yan Qingsi behind.
