Chapter 627 The Second Minefield
Outside the door, Qin Leilei saw Zhou Qiao and smiled slightly: "How was it? I just saw Qin Feng come out of your room with a livid face. Am I reliable?"
Zhou Qiao was feeling down about this, so she stepped aside to let him in, closed the door, and began to berate this unreliable "partner" through gritted teeth: "Reliable? Young Master Qin, your information is completely wrong. You don't understand your brother at all. He doesn't dislike this kind of outfit at all; he clearly loves it!"
Qin Leilei was stunned for a moment, a rare hint of emotion appearing in her eyes: "What did you say? You said he likes it?"
“Yes,” Zhou Qiao said listlessly.
She was too embarrassed to say it, but Qin Feng did more than just like her; when he saw her dressed like that, his eyes were glued to her.
At first, she thought she had successfully angered him and was secretly pleased with herself.
Looking back now, it was clearly the look a tiger gives a rabbit!
Sure enough, even the most ruthless villain couldn't change the fact that men are visual creatures.
Qin Leilei paused, glanced at the messy bed, and tentatively asked, "So, you two were in the room just now..."
Zhou Qiao glared at him and immediately interrupted his next string of foul language: "Shut up, we didn't do anything."
"That's good." Qin Leilei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing was done, it meant that Zhou Qiao could still continue to be his ally.
He frowned slightly, pondering, "That shouldn't be the case. I've known his preferences perfectly well for so long, how could I be wrong?"
“People change!” Zhou Qiao pouted. “He told me himself, how could it be false?”
Not only that, the man also said that from now on she would only wear this outfit for him to see.
Zhou Qiao waved her hand irritably and said, "Anyway, he doesn't dislike my outfit at all. Let's end our cooperation here. I'll just wait until after the New Year to get my ID card renewed before I leave. There are only a few days left."
Qin Leilei had persuaded Zhou Qiao to give him her heart yesterday, so how could he be willing to just end things like that?
He took a deep breath and said, "Miss Zhou, it seems that my information was indeed wrong. I apologize to you, but our cooperation cannot be terminated."
"Why?" Zhou Qiao was a little confused by what he said.
Qin Leilei said earnestly, "Come, come, let's sit down and talk slowly."
The two sat down on the sofa, and Qin Leilei analyzed for her, "Miss Zhou, the reason why we said the cooperation cannot be terminated is entirely for your sake. Judging from your description, Qin Feng is not only a cruel and ruthless villain, but he is also very likely a lecher!"
"You were a low-key person before, so it was fine that he didn't notice you. But now that you've caught his eye, do you think you'll still be able to leave after the New Year?"
"It can't be that bad, can it? How could I possibly be his type? As the wife of the Shadow Sect Master, she should at least be a rich young lady," Zhou Qiao questioned.
Qin Leilei glanced at her and said disdainfully, "Sect Master's wife? What a pipe dream! If a lecher were faithful, would he still be a lecher? Even if you've caught his eye now, he'll just play around with you at most. Does he really think he'll marry you?"
"That's not what I meant. I meant I've been with Shadow Gate for a while now. The Great Demon is at most a demon, not a pervert, right?" Zhou Qiao said hesitantly.
"Why not? Can you know him better than I do, his own brother?"
“You two only lived together for a few years when you were kids, didn’t you?” Zhou Qiao retorted.
Qin Leilei's expression was displeased: "..."
Zhou Qiao noticed his displeasure and explained, "You don't know, putting aside his ruthlessness, he's actually quite loyal to his brothers."
"Ha, how pretentious, just trying to win people over."
"He was very gentle, he even applied the medicine for me, and he didn't do anything to me."
"Ha," he said, "hypocrisy, just to lower your guard."
"No, he also..."
"Alright, I don't want to hear anymore." Qin Leilei interrupted Zhou Qiao, took a sip of tea, leaned back on the sofa, and said calmly, "Miss Zhou, the facts are right in front of us. There's no point in saying more. You should know better than me whether he's a lecher or not. Who can be sure about people's hearts?"
"Sigh, I'm only doing this for your own good. If you really don't want to continue cooperating, then forget it. Anyway, you're the one who'll be trapped in the Shadow Gate for the rest of your life, not me. That's all I have to say. Farewell."
Qin Leilei stood up, making a move to leave.
Zhou Qiao was also unsure of what to do. Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Wait a minute, let me think about it some more."
“Miss Zhou, you’d better think about it quickly. The day after tomorrow is Lunar New Year’s Eve, and I have to go back to the Qin family. If I miss it, no one will be able to help you anymore.”
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Qiao tentatively asked, "Then... how do you want to help me?"
"The plan remains the same: keep provoking him and make him hate you," Qin Leilei coaxed patiently.
Zhou Qiao pouted: "What? Are you helping me or hurting me! No, no, I'll learn from this experience, I can't do this again."
Qin Leilei immediately said, "Let me finish. This time, we won't rely on clothing. We'll find a different way to make him hate you. I guarantee it will be fine."
Zhou Qiao retorted, "You said the same thing last time."
"I guarantee this with my integrity," Qin Leilei said earnestly, "that I can absolutely hit his sore spots perfectly!"
Zhou Qiao thought for a moment, and after a long while, she finally spoke up: "Then tell me, what other triggers does he have?"
Seeing that the fish had finally taken the bait again, Qin Leilei smiled with satisfaction, leaned over, and whispered something to her.
After listening, Zhou Qiao frowned: "Are you sure this will work?"
“We grew up together, and no one knows him better than me!” Qin Leilei reassured her one last time: “Don’t worry, after this is done, I guarantee he’ll let you go before the new year.”
Zhou Qiao pursed her lips, and after a long while, she replied softly, "Alright, then I'll try again."
...
Time flies, and it's Lunar New Year's Eve.
Zhou Qiao got up early in the morning and headed straight to the pet market in the east of the city.
Qin Leilei told her that Qin Feng's second major flaw was that he disliked pets, especially furry ones.
She recalled it at the time, and it was true.
Logically speaking, a place as large as the Shadow Gate would usually have two guard dogs or something, but the Shadow Gate is always quiet, and you can never see any living creature other than people.
That's why she decided to trust Qin Leilei one more time.
