"Yiwei, you should go to the city with your brother. The schools in the city center have better educational standards," Ning Xingchen said with a smile to Xu Yiwei.
This sudden happiness left Xu Yiwei so excited that she didn't know what to say.
"Yiwei, hurry up and thank Brother Xingchen," Xu Jinping reminded her.
"Thank you, Brother Xingchen," Xu Yiwei said softly, blinking her adorable big eyes and looking at Ning Xingchen with deep affection.
"No need to be so formal. Leaving you here alone would worry your brother. Besides, I'm also concerned that the fool Xu Kai might cause you trouble," Ning Xingchen said sincerely.
Xu Jinping and Cheng Yun exchanged a knowing look. If Yiwei could become Ning Xingchen's wife, it would be a perfect match!
Xu Yiwei would certainly agree, but Xu Jinping wasn't sure about Ning Xingchen's thoughts. Perhaps he already had a girlfriend.
After a satisfying meal, Ning Xingchen went to a guest room to sleep. He hadn't stayed in the countryside for a long time, and many childhood memories came flooding back.
He took off his jacket and pants and turned off the light, preparing to go to bed. The room plunged into darkness, with only the mottled moonlight casting shadows inside.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard soft footsteps approaching after a while.
Ning Xingchen's alertness was high; even the slightest movement could wake him.
"Who's there?" Ning Xingchen called out coldly.
His voice carried a powerful presence, startling the trembling figure in the dark.
"Brother Xingchen, it's me!" came a tiny voice.
Yiwei? Ning Xingchen was puzzled. It sounded like Xu Yiwei. Why would she be here in the middle of the night?
The door was gently pushed open, and the petite girl tiptoed over.
"Yiwei, what are you doing here?" Ning Xingchen asked softly.
Xu Yiwei whimpered, not explaining, and directly got into Ning Xingchen's bed.
Ning Xingchen was startled when he felt her skin. She wasn't wearing any clothes!
"Yiwei, what are you doing?" Ning Xingchen sat up in shock, confused. In the soft moonlight, he could see her fair skin and well-developed figure, creating a breathtaking scene.
She was only eighteen, yet she had matured so beautifully. Ning Xingchen was surprised, his lips dry as he subconsciously swallowed.
"Brother Xingchen, I want to repay you," Xu Yiwei murmured, her attitude firm, indicating that she had thought this through.
"Repay me for what?" Ning Xingchen asked seriously. He didn't like this way of repaying favors. He helped Xu Jinping's family out of genuine concern, not expecting anything in return.
"Repay you for helping us clear our debts!" Xu Yiwei said sincerely, unsure how to please Ning Xingchen.
"Xu Yiwei, I'm very disappointed in you for doing this. I don't want you to use your body to exchange for anything. Tell me, is this your idea or your brother's?" Ning Xingchen asked sternly.
"Brother Xingchen, I'm sorry. I just wanted to make you happy. I have no other purpose," Xu Yiwei said, her eyes welling up with tears. She didn't expect Ning Xingchen to be angry instead of pleased.
...
"Make me happy? How?" Ning Xingchen asked.
"Isn't that what men like?" Xu Yiwei asked innocently, her understanding of adult matters very limited.
Hearing this, Ning Xingchen felt both angry and amused.
He had enough money to have any woman he wanted, but Ning Xingchen valued genuine affection and sincerity more.
If he easily slept with Xu Yiwei, it would demean both of them. It would reduce her to the level of women who sold their bodies for money, which Ning Xingchen couldn't accept.
"Yiwei, it's late. Go back to your room and sleep, or you'll catch a cold," Ning Xingchen said, turning away to avoid temptation. It took great willpower to resist, but he didn't want to take advantage of her.
"Brother Xingchen, I like you. No matter how you feel about me or what you do to me, I won't resist!" Xu Yiwei said suddenly, hugging Ning Xingchen from behind.
Ning Xingchen sighed. This girl was too tempting. Her soft curves pressed against his back, nearly breaking his resolve.
"Yiwei, do you even know what liking someone means?" Ning Xingchen asked softly, like an older brother.
"I know. Liking someone means doing everything to make them happy. Brother Xingchen, you treat me so well; you must like me too," Xu Yiwei said shyly.
Her words left Ning Xingchen speechless. She had a point.
"Yiwei, could you let go of me first? You don't realize how attractive you are," Ning Xingchen said. He was a normal man, and it was hard to control himself.
"Oh." Xu Yiwei realized the impropriety and quickly hid under the covers.
"Are you planning to sleep here tonight?" Ning Xingchen asked, seeing she had no intention of leaving.
Xu Yiwei nodded shyly. The only man who made her feel safe was Ning Xingchen.
"Fine, you can sleep in the bed."
Ning Xingchen put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
Watching his tall, handsome figure leave, Xu Yiwei felt heartbroken and mumbled, "Does Brother Xingchen hate me?"
She felt both the sweetness and bitterness of falling in love.
Standing in the courtyard, smoking a cigarette, Ning Xingchen felt a surge of desire. Xu Yiwei, despite her young age, had a charm that could drive men crazy.
He punched the brick wall, cursing under his breath, "Tomorrow, when I get back to the city, I'm going to find eight models and ten C-list celebrities to have some fun!"
His punch echoed loudly, causing a cat to meow in alarm.
