Chapter 38 Planning to marry her?

-

She was stunned, not expecting him to be so frank. Her heart raced, and she blurted out, "How can you be so shameless?!"

He readily admitted, "Yes."

"I'm not your girlfriend."

"You can also go and tell Chen Jiabai."

He said slowly and deliberately, "By the way, he still doesn't know about our kiss last time, does he?"

“…..…”

She was speechless for a moment.

That time was indeed unexpected for her, but she didn't dislike him originally, after all, he was very much to her aesthetic liking. Her only concern was that it would affect her relationship with Chen Jiabai.

She still wants to marry Chen Jiabai, how can she get entangled with his good brother?

He continued, "Perfect, I'll tell him all at once then."

His voice sounded tinged with lust, and Wen Yining involuntarily looked down at the bottom of her phone screen—

The lighting was too dim to see clearly, so he showed his short-sleeved shirt, which was fully clothed. The part below his waist was not visible in the video, but you could see that his muscular forearms had some definition.

Shen Yueze noticed her curious yet hesitant look and asked flippantly, "Want to see how I did it?"

She quickly hung up the video and cursed, "Pervert."

The already stuffy and cramped space seemed even more oppressive without air conditioning, so she turned up the speed of the small fan on the table.

I couldn't help but wonder, how could this person say such vulgar things with such a calm expression?

Logically speaking, she'd had dealings with quite a few guys before, and most of them would initially pretend, even if they wanted to kiss her or sleep with her, they wouldn't say it out loud.

Instead, he would first talk about movies, food, teachers, horoscopes, gossip, or ask her out.

Only after it happens many times will their true thoughts be revealed.

It's possible that during a chat one night, I might lose control and steer the conversation towards sexually suggestive topics, but I would never video chat with her and masturbate, no matter what.

I don't know if he thinks his brother's girlfriend is more exciting, or if he recently broke up with his girlfriend and no one is clinging to him anymore.

Wen Yining was reading half of Parasite when she became distracted and felt a bit hot, so she closed her laptop.

-

Before going to bed, she prepared to take off her bra. She glanced down and saw that it was a little revealing, but compared to the girls in bikinis at their pool party, it was nothing. Those girls were all wearing thongs.

Xie Yuchen also said that Ye Qingchi introduced Shen Yueze to that person.

He spends all his time in such chaotic places, how could he possibly have the mind to bother her?

Wen Yining was not entirely at ease, so she immediately blocked Shen Yueze's account.

Then she glanced at the girl named Little Cat. She hadn't deleted or blocked her, and she hadn't provoked her recently. She suspected that Chen Jiabai had paid the girl off.

It's clear that Chen Jiabai really wants to salvage this relationship.

-

Zhaoshan Mansion.

After Shen Yueze's video was blocked, he managed to get it working and didn't call her back.

He grabbed a few tissues from the table. These days, he fantasized about her almost every day.

Although the saved photos are already quite sexy compared to everyday styles, the key areas are all covered up.

What he most wants to see is definitely -

I don't know if I'll ever see it.

Given their current relationship.

Thinking of this, Shen Yueze leaned back lazily, lit a cigarette, and looked somewhat melancholy.

I've never been this worried, not even when my project was sabotaged by people from Mingxiang's side a while ago.

-

Chen Jiabai hadn't slept well for several days in a row, and Wen Yining didn't reply to his calls or WeChat messages.

That night, I called out a few experienced brothers together.

The location is a club.

Jiang Lin was shocked when she saw his tired and weak appearance. "Wait, how come you look like you've been drained of all your energy after just one week? Your dark circles are so heavy!"

"I've been having trouble sleeping for the past few days, and coincidentally, I've also run into some issues at work."

Ye Qingchi: "Isn't this about Wen Yining?"

"With both sides combined, I can't sleep at night even when I'm lying down."

Everyone else was wearing perfume or smelling of their girlfriends; they all smelled wonderful.

Even though she doesn't style her hair regularly, she still puts some thought into her outfits. She's in her early twenties and pays considerable attention to her appearance.

Taobao shorts, Balenciaga, Stone Island, Gucci, Burberry, LV, Chrome Hearts jeans, OW...

Chen Jiabai has been a bit unkempt lately; he hasn't shaved, and his shirt is all wrinkled, clearly indicating that he slept in his clothes all night.

Ye Qingchi lazily glanced at him, frowned, and clicked her tongue, "You can't keep going like this. Don't ruin your health."

"If your girlfriend leaves, just find another one. Why bother? Let me tell you, I've never been this tired. If she's too demanding or hard to please, I only make three calls at most. Three is my limit. If it doesn't work, I'll just find someone else."

Chen Jiabai wearily rubbed his face and drank some of the wine Chen Yueze had poured to perk himself up.

“I waited for her downstairs. Her roommate came out and returned the bag she bought. But she didn’t block or delete me. She just didn’t reply to messages or meet me.”

As Chen Jiabai spoke, he felt remorse and regret, thinking he shouldn't have sympathized with Youyou that day.

Mainly, Shen Yueze said a few words about how pitiful the girl was, and that she looked so sympathetic that he believed her.

Knowing he was in the wrong, he was willing to humble himself and take the initiative to reconcile with the ambiguous bedroom photos.

"Oh right, I can't get in touch with Youyou. I asked Li Guyu, but she can't reach her either."

Did she ask you for money?

“She demanded 30,000 yuan, accusing me of drugging and raping her. I didn’t give it to her, and she threatened to send the photos and videos to Wen Yining before I would give her the money. Then she disappeared.”

"It's a honey trap. I've always seen other people fall into it, but I never thought I'd run into one myself."

"Then she doesn't want much money."

"I'm worried it will never end."

Chen Jiabai noticed that Shen Yueze hadn't reacted much since he arrived, absentmindedly eating snacks with a nonchalant and indifferent expression, as if he was thinking about something else. He seemed a bit distracted.

So I asked him, "Aze, when you went to see Wen Yining, did she say anything?"

"Did you hint at what you wanted? What was your attitude?"

Shen Yueze then came to his senses, "She doesn't even bother to mention you, she's probably really angry, and it doesn't seem like something that can be appeased with a few tens of thousands of dollars."

Ye Qingchi: "Youyou doesn't seem like a liar. Li Guyu isn't very familiar with her; she only knows where she rents an apartment, not where she lives."

"It would be best to let her explain to Wen Yining herself. I won't believe you just based on your side of the story."

"But you've been apologizing for a week now, she should have calmed down by now. Don't go too far. A little drama is fine, but if it gets too big, just replace her."

Chen Jiabai was silent for a moment before speaking seriously: "I'm different from the girls you guys dated before. You guys were just playing around and never considered marriage, so of course there's no need to panic. I'm seriously dating her."

"Really?"

Xie Yuchen was skeptical. "So early? How old are you? It's way too early. You've dated beautiful women before. It must have been an impulsive decision."

Shen Yueze also turned his gaze. He had been pondering what topic to use to continue talking to Wen Yining that evening, and his casual expression became more composed.

He asked Chen Jiabai indifferently, "Are you planning to marry her?"

"Yeah, I didn't plan to bring it up earlier,"

"Let's talk for another two years, at least until my parents are settled down. But she's insecure, so we can talk to her now."

Shen Yueze gripped the glass, feeling inexplicably irritated, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked calmly, "Did you ask her what she thought?"

"She's definitely worried about my parents too, and besides, that's why I said she's different from your girlfriends,"

"She's not a casual girl. Once she starts a relationship, she's definitely aiming for marriage. She's said that."

"However, I didn't respond or make any promises at the time, thinking there would be plenty of time later."

"I don't have high requirements for women. As for their careers, they don't need to be outstanding, and they don't need to go to work. They can just be full-time housewives after marriage."

"You guys are the same, most men think like that."

Especially successful, strong-willed men are less likely to like strong women.

Shen Yueze's older brother, Shen Qiyan, has several arranged marriage partners in his family. They are all excellent, but they all have quite a temper.

Moreover, given their similar family backgrounds and the fact that they were both pampered and spoiled from a young age, neither of them wanted to be the weaker party.

Shen Qiyan didn't find any of them appealing and wanted to choose a partner from a lower social class, preferring girls who could take the initiative to please him.

Chen Jiabai continued, "My family wasn't short of money to begin with. I started a business simply to find something interesting to do."

"However, it's tiring, really tiring. The scheming and backstabbing outside is annoying enough, who would want someone similar to themselves at home?"

"We need someone like Wen Yining, who is simple-minded, not too scheming, and knows how to be charming and cute."

Moreover, in families like theirs, once a child is born, there are nannies and full-time housewives, so they really don't have to do anything.

-

This was the first time Chen Jiabai had talked about these things, even planning out his post-marital life, which surprised them all quite a bit.

Jiang Lin: "You really like Wen Yining that much? To be honest, she's pretty, but who knows how many other people you'll meet in the future?"

"If you regret it, you'll have to divide the property. Things like prenuptial agreements and property division need to be handled carefully."

They've been exposed to these things since childhood, and when it comes to real interests, they're more calculating than anyone else.

Chen Jiabai: "Ever since my mother found out that she had two older brothers, she has been unhappy. She prefers an only child."

Shen Yueze: "What else did Aunt Liang say? Has she seen Wen Yining?"

“I’ve never met her, and I’m not satisfied with her family background, but if she does what I say and becomes a full-time housewife, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”

Ye Qingchi was teaching a girl how to play billiards, not the one from before.

When Li Guyu heard that Youyou had cheated Chen Jiabai out of a sum of money, he didn't dare to come to Ye Qingchi anymore, fearing that he would have to pay her back. So he broke up with her. But it didn't matter, because he had already started flirting with someone else.

Girl: "I don't know how, is this the right posture?"

Ye Qingchi pressed down on the girl's shoulder, "A little lower, um, like this."

Shen Yueze looked at it casually, lit a cigarette, his expression indifferent, revealing a hint of impatience.

Instead of listening to Chen Jiabai speak, I was thinking—

We should bring Wen Yining to play billiards; her figure makes her look even sexier when she does some bending movements.

Lately, I've not only been fantasizing about her self-harm,

He would occasionally imagine her giving him oral sex.

Meanwhile, his good friend on the other end is now considering how to marry Wen Yining.

Shen Yueze suddenly felt that what he was doing was quite unkind.

He took out his phone, opened the chat window, and couldn't resist sending Wen Yining a message: "[Chen Jiabai gave Youyou a sum of money to bribe her.]"

Immediately afterwards, a message popped up: "[Message sent, but rejected by the recipient.]"

Shen Yueze muttered a low voice.

Those red dots are particularly annoying.

I blocked him.

-

Ye Qingchi and the others realized Chen Jiabai's true intentions and offered their suggestions. "I've told you all my limited experience in coaxing people. Give it a try. She doesn't seem like the type to be particularly difficult. I guess she knows when to stop."

"Why don't you start with his family? Aren't his two older brothers local?"

"Her grandparents and maternal grandmother are all in her hometown. She has a good relationship with her eldest brother, but her second brother is so-so. I'll ask her brother what he likes and ask them to help persuade him."

Xie Yuchen knew Wen Yichuan and casually complained, "Her second brother found a rich and beautiful woman, with excellent conditions, and even tricked her into buying him a Porsche 911."

"I heard that if you get married, she's planning to give you a villa in Dongshan Prefecture. She's no ordinary person. You'd better be careful not to get ripped off by her family. She's just a smooth talker."

"What's his second brother like? Is he a pretty boy?"

"Who is Bai Fumei? Do I know her? She's not some older rich woman, is she?"

Xie Yuchen recalled, "Bai Jiahe isn't tall, and her looks are just average. She's definitely not as slutty as those snake-faced beauties out there."

In recent years, the most popular features are still the "snake-like" face, tiny waist, and chopsticks legs.

Wen Yichuan was seven years older than them, so his tastes were quite obvious. He liked girls with pointed chins and slender waists, and his relationship with Bai Jiahe, a plain-looking rich girl, was purely for money.

Jiang Lin joked, "It's all thanks to your skills in bed, hahaha..."

Regardless of who spends more money on whom, the first thing that comes to mind is still their sexual relationship.

"Don't you think about it? Wen Yining is so beautiful, how ugly can her brother be? He's definitely more handsome than you, the kind who can make a living off his looks."

Chen Jiabai was well aware of this. "Not long after Wen Yining and I got together, Wen Yichuan set his sights on me, calling me brother and keeping in touch."

However, Wen Yining later told him to ignore his second brother, so he pretended not to see the message.

After all, there are too many people in his life who want to curry favor with him; if it weren't for Wen Yining's older brother, he would never have met him.

The girl playing billiards, named Chi Siyu, sensed that Shen Yueze was in a bad mood today. After hesitating for a moment, she took the initiative to ask him, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"without."

Shen Yueze glanced at her with a cold expression, then left the private room.

There was a two-second silence in the private room; it was still a little strange that he left like that.

Xie Yuchen looked at the others, puzzled. "What's wrong with Shen Yueze today? Why does he seem like someone upset him? Did he have a fight with his dad? Is he not allowed to go on outdoor adventures? Or is he doing some extreme sports?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe he was annoyed by Shi Yingmeng, and after breaking up with her, he didn't seem to want to date anyone else."

Ye Qingchi smiled and shook his head, handing the stick to the girl. "He doesn't like clingy people. Shi Yingmeng is a bit scary, too obsessive. She even threatened suicide after we broke up. Who could stand that?"

Chen Jiabai agreed and continued sending messages to his girlfriend, "Wen Yining is just right. She doesn't bother me 24/7, checking my phone and going through my chat history. I think we should at least have some private space."

Wen Yining replied, "Don't let Shen Yueze bother me anymore."

A note from the author:

I'm so happy! My progress in winning over a girlfriend today is 0; I've regressed!

I prefer to write more human-centered stories, based on my outline plot.

He must have hesitated at that moment; he also felt that what he was doing was not quite right.

But... it's a physiological attraction...
