Chapter 109: You’ll Definitely Say Yes to Me!

They had already finished a bottle of red wine at dinner, but that clearly wasn't enough to satisfy the two alcohol-loving women, Li Qingcheng and Chen Sixuan.

Li Qingcheng made a single phone call, and soon, the hedgehog-haired security guard who had diligently checked Qin Luo’s ID at the entrance was ringing the doorbell, lugging a case of Blue Ribbon beer.

"Miss Li, I am so sorry. The convenience store at the gate didn't have Budweiser or Carlsberg. Only Blue Ribbon," the guard said, looking deeply apologetic, as if the store's lack of stock were his personal failing.

"It’s alright. Thank you for your trouble," Li Qingcheng said with a charming smile, pulling a few hundred-dollar bills from her wallet to hand to him.

The hedgehog-haired guard didn't dare look directly at Li Qingcheng’s radiant, otherworldly face. He waved his hands and said, "No need. Consider it my treat for you, Miss Li."

"Next time, then. When you treat me to a drink next time, you can pick up the tab," Li Qingcheng said with a smile, forcing the bills into his hand anyway.

"Alright. Then—then I won't disturb you anymore," the guard stammered.

As he turned to leave, he took one last greedy glance at the stunning beauty standing before him. His courage quickly evaporated, and he scurried away like a rabbit fleeing a gunshot.

Power that could determine life and death with a word, wealth that rivaled nations, and beauty that could topple cities—all of these exert a pressure that makes it difficult to look directly at someone.

Li Qingcheng, dressed simply and casually yet moving with a seductive, bewitching grace, belonged to the third category. Her breathtaking beauty was a source of pressure for ordinary people; only Qin Luo, accustomed to being around beauties, remained dull and unresponsive.

"Come on. Let’s keep drinking," Li Qingcheng said, bending over to pick up the case of Blue Ribbon and heading toward the balcony. She had none of the frailty of a pampered young lady; she handled most things herself.

Usually, a task like carrying a case of beer would be something she could ask Qin Luo to help with, but she had carried it over without a word. Perhaps, in her mind, Qin Luo wasn't even as strong as she was.

Li Qingcheng tore open the box, tossed a can to Chen Sixuan, who was lounging in a chair, and took another out for Qin Luo. "Care to join us for a drink?"

"No. I don't drink," Qin Luo said, waving his hands repeatedly.

"I'll teach you," Li Qingcheng said. "Look, first you open the can, then you pour it into your mouth—and then you swallow. See? Very simple."

As she spoke, she gave Qin Luo a live demonstration, even taking a few gulps of beer herself.

"I mean, I pass out if I drink beer," Qin Luo hurriedly explained.

"Really?" Li Qingcheng asked.

"Really," Qin Luo nodded earnestly.

Li Qingcheng’s eyes sparkled in the night. Excitement surged through her; she jumped up, wrapped her arms around Qin Luo’s waist, and tried to force the beer into his mouth. "Come on, show us. Perform for us. I’ve never seen you drunk."

"It must be adorable," Chen Sixuan clapped and laughed from the side.

Qin Luo was like a captured spy, gritting his teeth and refusing to yield. Whether it was the enemy’s chili water, the iron rack, or even her using her cleavage to rub against his head in a "honey trap," he was determined to resist to the end.

Li Qingcheng failed after a long struggle, and eventually, Chen Sixuan joined in to help. Pinned between the two beauties, Qin Luo was forced to take a small sip.

These two hoodlums!

After the sip, Qin Luo watched cautiously for the wild, turbulent reaction of his internal Yang pulse.

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds...

There was no reaction at all. He only felt his head grow slightly dizzy.

Could it be that his body had improved?

However, Qin Luo quickly dismissed that possibility. It was probably just because he had only had a tiny bit.

The two women stared at him intensely. Seeing no signs of him passing out, they said with disappointment, "Where is this 'passing out at one sip' stuff? You were just lying to us."

Li Qingcheng tossed a can of beer to Qin Luo and said, "No excuses to slack off now, right? Keep us company for a bottle. It’s no fun if we drink and you don’t."

Qin Luo had no choice but to catch it. He popped the tab but didn't dare to actually gulp the beer down.

"Life is so beautiful," Chen Sixuan said, taking a small sip of her drink. She looked at the clear sky and the twinkling city lights, a look of pure happiness on her face.

Her figure was exceptionally tall and slender; even lying on the recliner, her legs extended well past the end. She rested her feet on a small square stool, her toes wiggling continuously, dazzlingly fair. Qin Luo’s eyes followed her pretty little feet, and soon he felt even dizzier.

Li Qingcheng leaned back comfortably on the sofa and said, "Sixuan, any interest in doing something else?"

"Doing what?" Chen Sixuan asked.

"Once our Golden Cocoon Skin-Nourishing Powder hits the market, it will definitely take over quickly. By then, I plan to set up branch offices in Hong Kong and Taiwan. If you're interested, you could take charge of that region," Li Qingcheng said with a smile.

"Wow. Asking me to be an executive? You trust my abilities that much?" Chen Sixuan laughed.

"You’re a top student from a top university's literature department; I still don't understand how you ended up working as a leg model. Sure, leg modeling pays well, but the entertainment industry is full of trouble."

"If you're willing, I can hand the Taiwan market to you. With your ability, holding down that market shouldn't be difficult," Li Qingcheng said with conviction.

"Is it really decided just like that?" Chen Sixuan asked, eyes wide with surprise.

"The boss and the second-in-command are right here drinking with you; what else is there to decide?" Li Qingcheng said with a smile. She glanced at Qin Luo, who was sitting next to her, and added, "Though if that happens, both of us will be this guy's subordinates. If he gets a whim one day and decides to try some 'unspoken rules,' you won't be able to refuse... though looking at that lustful expression of yours, I don't think you’d want to anyway."

"Beauty Li, keep being arrogant. Sooner or later, a man will show up and tame you completely," Chen Sixuan said, stealing a glance at Qin Luo.

"The man who can tame me hasn't appeared yet," Li Qingcheng laughed. She turned to Qin Luo and said, "Little brother, until my man shows up, how about you let big sister have some fun with you?"

"This..." Qin Luo was mortified. How could she ask something so bluntly? He was still a virgin, for heaven’s sake!

If you really wanted to, why didn't you just jump me while I was asleep and get it over with?

Hypocrite!

"Don't want to?" Li Qingcheng blinked her large eyes.

"No, I mean..."

"Want to?"

"..."

Watching Qin Luo’s flustered state, Li Qingcheng laughed until she shook, saying, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. As a virgin in his twenties, I actually feel sorry for you."

"Beauty Li, you just love picking on honest people," Chen Sixuan said, taking Qin Luo’s side.

"Is that so?" Li Qingcheng said. "Sixuan, didn't you secretly tell me you were a virgin too? Since we're all friends here, why don't you two cooperate with each other?"

"Go to hell!" Chen Sixuan splashed her beer at Li Qingcheng. Li Qingcheng nimbly dodged, but the beer ended up splashing all over an unsuspecting Qin Luo.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Chen Sixuan stood up in a panic, trying to wipe the beer off Qin Luo’s face.

As she did, the small stool she was using to step up slipped, and she fell right into Qin Luo’s arms.

"Looks like I’ll be sleeping on the sofa tonight," Li Qingcheng said, teasingly looking at the two of them huddled together.

Of course, Li Qingcheng didn't sleep on the sofa; Qin Luo was the one who ended up there.

Because he had stayed up too late with the two women the night before, Qin Luo didn't get up early to exercise as he usually did.

By the time he opened his eyes, the sunlight had already climbed through the glass windows and flooded the room.

Li Qingcheng was mopping the floor in hot pants and a loose T-shirt, while Chen Sixuan was in the kitchen wearing an apron, making breakfast. The two were still chatting, occasionally letting out melodic laughter.

Suddenly, a warm sense of fulfillment washed over Qin Luo.

Could his life always be this warm and peaceful from now on?

He felt a bit of discomfort in his lower body. He reached down to touch it and froze in place.

How could this happen? Who did he dream of last night?

Seeing Qin Luo sitting on the sofa in a daze, Li Qingcheng smiled and said, "Little brother, wake up. After breakfast, we have important things to do today."

"What things?" Qin Luo thought for a moment; it was Sunday, so there shouldn't be any classes.

"Did you forget? When I called you over yesterday, didn't I tell you? There is a very, very important person who wants to meet you. And there is a very, very important matter to discuss with you," Li Qingcheng said with a smile.

The T-shirt she was wearing was knotted at her waist, revealing her round, rosy navel. As she stood before Qin Luo, her navel trembled slightly, looking very sexy and adorable.

This woman could make even the most casual attire look alluring to the bone.

"Right. I remember. Haven't I already met the person?" Qin Luo said.

"But there is still one very important thing to discuss with you," Li Qingcheng said.

"What thing?"

"Do you remember that woman from last time? The one who arrived in a Rolls-Royce and was accompanied by several bodyguards, looking almost unrealistically beautiful?" Li Qingcheng asked.

"I remember," Qin Luo nodded, a bad premonition forming in his heart.

"Good. I assume you do. A woman like that is impossible to forget after one look. I’ve made an appointment with her for ten o'clock this morning at Qingcheng International," Li Qingcheng said.

"That's your business. What does that have to do with me?"

"She specifically asked to see you."

"And you agreed?"

"Yes. I had no reason not to. She is our company's biggest client now."

"---So this is the 'important matter' you wanted to discuss?" Qin Luo said with a bitter smile. You already agreed, so what is there left to discuss with me?

"Exactly," Li Qingcheng nodded. "Besides, I know you’ll definitely agree to help me."
