The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 51: Still Want to Keep Me to Yourself for the Long Term?:

At a small roadside restaurant, Qi Lin, Qi Xueyao, and Jiang Lei sat around a table, eating skewers and drinking beer.

Of the three, only Qi Lin had a good appetite. He devoured one skewer after another, washing them down with beer, looking completely at ease.

Qi Xueyao, on the other hand, had no appetite at all.

It wasn’t just because of her mood. She hadn’t had a chance to rinse her mouth after what had happened earlier. Now, she could still taste Qi Lin, and it made her feel disgusted. She couldn’t bring herself to eat anything.

“Brother-in-law, you and Xueyao were classmates for four years. Have you ever kissed her?”

Qi Lin asked casually after filling his stomach.

Hearing this, Qi Xueyao’s face turned pale with anger, but she didn’t dare say a word.

Jiang Lei blushed and said a little awkwardly, “Your Xueyao set a rule—unless our business succeeds and our company reaches a million in assets, she won’t let me kiss her.”

Qi Lin curled his lips in disdain. “And here I thought I should admire you, Brother-in-law, for successfully pursuing Xueyao. Turns out, you’re just another henpecked man.”

“If it were me, with a beauty like Xueyao, I’d have kissed her lips swollen by now.”

Qi Xueyao couldn’t take it anymore. Her face turned red as she glared at him angrily. “Qi Lin, if you keep talking nonsense, I swear I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Maybe it was because of what had happened earlier, but the barrier between them had disappeared. They no longer spoke with politeness, and Qi Xueyao would curse at him whenever she wanted.

Jiang Lei, however, didn’t catch the hidden meaning in Qi Lin’s words. He simply sighed and said, “Brother, you were just lucky to be born into the right family. If I had your background, with billionaire parents, I’d probably be even bolder than you.”

Qi Lin smiled faintly.

He believed Jiang Lei’s words.

In his past life, after Jiang Lei became successful, his personal life turned messy.

Qi Lin had known that Jiang Lei had multiple mistresses outside.

But because he didn’t want Qi Xueyao to get hurt, he had kept it a secret from her.

Looking back now, he realized how naïve and foolish he had been.

Living under the same roof, there was no way Qi Xueyao hadn’t known about Jiang Lei’s affairs.

She simply didn’t care anymore.

She had chosen to drown herself in work, while Jiang Lei indulged in pleasure.

And Qi Lin? He had been the fool who got nothing.

Even on his deathbed, he was still humiliated by Qi Xueyao.

Qi Lin was still growing, and his appetite was huge. The food he ordered alone cost nearly two hundred yuan.

He picked the most expensive skewers without hesitation.

Jiang Lei watched in pain, but since he had offered to treat, he couldn’t say anything.

After finishing the meal, Qi Lin got up, draped an arm around Qi Xueyao’s shoulder, and grinned. “Brother-in-law, I’ll take Xueyao home first. You can catch a cab back.”

Seeing Qi Lin’s intimate gesture, Jiang Lei didn’t overthink it.

After all, they were from the same village, and Qi Lin had admitted that Qi Xueyao was his “girlfriend.” He had no reason to suspect anything.

Qi Xueyao, however, was fuming inside.

But with Jiang Lei here, she didn’t want to argue with Qi Lin, in case he said something that would expose them.

Once they got into the car, she finally exploded. Her beautiful eyes glared at him with pure hatred.

“Qi Lin, don’t think for a second that I’ll forget what happened today! You’d better pray that your family never falls from wealth. Because the day you do, I’ll make sure you pay for this humiliation a hundred times over!”

Qi Lin had long since grown tired of her threats.

He lazily steered the car with one hand while digging in his ear with the other. “You can deal with that in the future. But for now, you should worry about tomorrow. I enjoyed kissing you today, so I’m coming back for more. If you don’t let me, I’ll have a nice chat with Uncle.”

“And think carefully—you’ve already lost your first kiss. If you keep resisting, you’ll lose your career too. And your love.”

Qi Xueyao’s eyes widened in shock.

She had thought Qi Lin just acted on impulse today and would forget about it.

She never expected him to plan on keeping her for the long term.

She wanted to fight back, but Qi Lin’s words weighed down on her like a mountain, suffocating her.

That’s right. She had already lost her first kiss.

Was she really going to throw away her career and her love life just to resist him?

No. Absolutely not!

As long as she still had a chance to turn things around, she could get her revenge on this bastard.

Qi Xueyao clenched her teeth, feeling both humiliated and frustrated. But in the end, she decided to endure it.

She would put up with Qi Lin’s torment until she had the power to strike back.

For the rest of the drive home, she stopped arguing or threatening him.

The moment they reached the villa, she hurried inside and locked herself in her room.

Seeing this, Qi Lin simply shook his head and ignored her.

He lounged on the living room sofa and casually pulled out Lan Yuxi’s diary.

“Hmm… What’s this girl doing over the weekend?”

“She better not be going on a date with Wang Cheng. If she is, I’ll have to stir things up a bit.”

Qi Lin smirked, eyes filled with mischief.
