"Don't do this, I'll handle it." Lu Yuzhi gently cupped Li Peiyu's face, his forehead lightly touching hers, his eyes full of affection. "Don't say goodbye so easily."
He pulled her into a tight embrace, the force so strong it felt like he wanted to embed her into his own body, and said again, his voice trembling slightly, "Don't leave me."
It was just Qin Mingyue, and only a few provocative words, yet she was already so impatient and wanted to break up with him.
Lu Yuzhi's eyes reddened, his heart filled with pain and helplessness.
Li Peiyu only had a tiny bit of affection for him, an affection as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished without hesitation, so decisively that it broke his heart.
But he was different. He had already broken up with her once, and he had experienced the agonizing pain of missing her. When she was with other men, he felt as jealous as if a knife was stabbing his heart. He didn't want to experience that pain again so soon.
Thinking this way, Lu Yuzhi kissed Li Peiyu wildly as if he had lost his mind, as if he wanted to make her fall deeply into the pleasure of his body by repeatedly leading her to experience it, so that she would love him as much as he loved her, and never be able to leave him again.
"I'll handle it. Just be good and don't care what others say or do, understand?" Lu Yuzhi's voice was firm and unwavering.
"Mmm," Li Peiyu replied softly.
"Don't say anything about leaving again," Lu Yuzhi emphasized again, his tone full of tension and unease.
"Okay." Li Peiyu nodded obediently.
"Let's go. Let's ride the motorcycle." Lu Yuzhi took Li Peiyu's hand and walked outside.
Lu Yuzhi and Li Peiyu sat one after the other on the jet ski.
The sea breeze whistled across their faces, ruffling their hair. Lu Yuzhi skillfully started the engine, and the motorcycle shot off like an arrow, leaving a long white trail in the sea.
Li Peiyu was a little nervous at first, but as the motorcycle bounced and leaped among the waves, she was gradually drawn in by the thrill, and an excited smile spread across her face.
She was in front, her petite frame leaning slightly forward, the sea breeze ruffling her hair. He was behind, his strong hands gripping the handlebars tightly, encircling her completely. She could clearly feel the warmth of his chest, that sense of security of being held so close by him, like sitting on the crossbar of a bicycle.
Sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle. Lu Yuzhi steered the ship, sometimes accelerating and sometimes making sharp turns, which drew screams and laughter from Li Peiyu.
Lu Yuzhi turned to look at Li Peiyu, whose bright eyes were full of joy and surprise. At this moment, he felt incredibly happy and content.
Qin Mingyue crossed her arms, watching Lu Yuzhi and Li Peiyu's affectionate display with a complex expression. Her eyes revealed resentment and jealousy, yet she felt utterly helpless.
Qin Mingyue originally thought Li Peiyu was a shy and obedient girl who could be easily dealt with, but now it seems that Li Peiyu is by no means a pushover.
I thought she would be embarrassed and angry after I spoke to her so harshly this morning, but she didn't care at all. She was so calm and collected that even the harshest words just passed through her ears.
It seems that trying to provoke her won't work. Perhaps, I should just try offering her money; after all, how many people in this world can truly resist the temptation of money?
After playing for a while, Li Peiyu and Lu Yuzhi slowly pulled their motorcycle over to the side of the road and stopped.
Both of them looked a little tired, but their eyes were still full of love for each other.
Just then, Qin Mingyue walked towards them.
Li Peiyu ignored her, treating her as if she were invisible, and slowly and methodically unfastened her life jacket.
One of the straps was tied a little too tightly, and Li Peiyu tried to untie it several times without success.
Seeing this, Lu Yuzhi naturally reached out to help. His movements were gentle and skillful, and his gaze towards Li Peiyu was always full of affection, with smiles practically overflowing from his eyes.
Qin Mingyue regretted it deeply; she had met Lu Yuzhi when she visited the Lu family as a child.
She was 16 years old that year, while Lu Yuzhi was 28.
She was attracted to him at that time.
But she still chose to fulfill her dream of playing the piano, so she went to France.
When she returned ten years later, she was overjoyed to learn that he was still single. There was also a marriage arrangement between their families, and she thought she could rekindle their romance. However, the scene before her shattered her illusions.
If she hadn't chosen to go to France back then, would she already be by his side?
When Li Peiyu passed by Qin Mingyue, Qin Mingyue quickly said, "Miss Li, shall we talk?"
“Okay.” Li Peiyu replied calmly and readily.
Li Peiyu was about to turn around and follow when Lu Yuzhi grabbed her arm. Lu Yuzhi frowned and said urgently, "What do you have to talk to her about? I'll talk to her, and I'll handle it."
“I’ll talk. You can stand aside.” Li Peiyu’s gaze was firm and his attitude resolute.
Talking is nothing more than arguing and bickering, something she may disdain but is very good at.
The two sat down at a table at a beverage stall.
"Miss Li, please order a drink," Qin Mingyue said politely.
"I want strawberry flavor, with ice," Li Peiyu said casually.
"Okay." Qin Mingyue ordered two drinks.
"Let's get straight to the point, Miss Qin." Li Peiyu lowered her head and took a sip, looking relaxed.
"Alright, that's straightforward. May I ask how much money Miss Li wants to leave Lu Yuzhi? You should know that someone of your status can't possibly marry him. It all comes down to money." Qin Mingyue got straight to the point.
"Well, how much money is Miss Qin planning to offer?" Li Peiyu asked casually.
"How much do you want?" Qin Mingyue stared at Li Peiyu.
"Of course, the more the merrier," Li Peiyu said, a half-smile playing on her lips.
"Ten million," Qin Mingyue said through gritted teeth.
Li Peiyu burst out laughing, laughing so hard she almost fell over. After finally managing to stop, she said, "Miss Qin, the first time I slept with Lu Yuzhi, he transferred me 5 million. The next day, we slept together again, and he gave me another 5 million plus a black card. So, Miss Qin, don't you think you gave me a little too little?"
Qin Mingyue was shocked to hear this. Lu Yuzhi was so generous, offering such an exorbitant price.
"Miss Qin, if you don't believe me, I can show you the transfer records."
"Thirty million? Don't try to take advantage of me." Qin Mingyue tried to remain calm and raised her voice.
“Miss Qin, if you don’t have money, don’t flaunt it. I accidentally broke a piece of porcelain worth 80 million, and Lu Yu paid for it without hesitation. Your 30 million, I really, really…” Li Peiyu said with a disdainful expression, pretending to look down on him.
"Miss Qin, come talk to me again when it's in the hundreds of millions." Li Peiyu stood up, grabbed her drink, and walked away swaggeringly.
