I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 187 Thinking of Deserting in the Face of Battle? Impossible

Shen Yuan hadn't even realized how all of this had happened.

Before leaving, his two younger sisters were hesitant and coy, so why such a sudden change?

He had planned to properly train them when he returned, but they had already become automatic?

Long Jinghan taking the initiative was not surprising to Shen Yuan, since he had already trained her well.

But it was Qiao Lei, new to such matters, that was key.

She even knew which outfit suited her best and took the initiative to wear a bunny girl outfit.

Shen Yuan could only turn and ask Long Jinghan standing beside him, "What's going on here?"

Long Jinghan's cheeks were slightly flushed as she lowered her beautiful eyes and said, "We discussed this... but maybe Qiao Lei got a bit carried away."

Since the battle dress was already on, there's no room for desertion... Shen Yuan's lips lifted slightly as he said, "Go talk to her."

"Uh... how should I persuade her?"

Long Jinghan felt awkward, as this wasn't like persuading someone to drink or buy something, but rather to persuade her... to do this sort of thing.

It was somewhat like a madam persuading a "courtesan who only entertains but does not sell her body" to receive a guest.

"Women understand women best, you should know what her issues are."

Shen Yuan slapped her pert buttocks with a "smack" and laughed, "Go on, you can do it."

Long Jinghan yelped from the slap, rubbed the reddened area with a wronged expression, hesitated for a short while, then said, "Then I'll give it a try."

Shen Yuan hummed in response, thinking to let Long Jinghan try first, and if she failed, he would go himself.

Shen Yuan guessed there were probably two reasons, one was that the clothing was too revealing, and the other was being with Long Jinghan.

Of course, this might also be related to the Feel-good Index, as after all, Qiao Lei had not yet reached a Feel-good Index of 60, so it was indeed embarrassing for her to do this.

Long Jinghan entered the bathroom where Qiao Lei was standing in a corner, timidly holding down the hem of her dress, her expression looking pitiful.

"Qiao Lei, what's wrong?"

Long Jinghan walked over, placed her hands on her shoulders, leaned slightly forward, and gazed sincerely at her, "Can't you accept it?"

"Mmm..."

Qiao Lei looked down at the floor, deflated as she said, "This outfit is too revealing... and there's also a collar."

Long Jinghan rubbed her forehead and replied, "Uh... but isn't cosplay kind of that too?"

"But it's not as outrageous as this."

Qiao Lei raised her beautiful eyes, pouting her lips as she said, "There are actually many conservative cosplay outfits that don't reveal important parts, but look at this, it's just a few thin pieces of fabric." Explore stories at empire

"And also, it's both of us together..."

Long Jinghan felt overwhelmed, recalling you were the initiator, yet you're also the one deserting now.

Just before Shen Yuan returned, Qiao Lei was still speaking fervently about how to handle him.

Long Jinghan was already somewhat hesitant, then got persuaded by Qiao Lei's brainwashing and finally agreed.

Now that the outfits were on, why are you backing out first?

Long Jinghan thought for a moment, then tried a different angle of persuasion, "Don't you want to hold a more significant place in Shen Yuan's heart? From what I see, this is the simplest and most effective way."

"I do want that."

Qiao Lei said in a pitiful voice, "But I feel like this way, it doesn't respect any human dignity."

Long Jinghan, somewhat helpless, realized everyone knew their own reasons for approaching Shen Yuan, didn't they?

Talking about human dignity?

Moreover, it's not like you were asked to sell your dignity; it's just playing the part... albeit flamboyantly.

Since it had come to dignity, Long Jinghan didn't want to persuade her further, so she said, "Then I'll talk to Shen Yuan, let him arrange another room for you."

Qiao Lei raised her youthful face, her beautiful eyes still hesitant, and after a moment of silence, she finally said, "Thank you."

Long Jinghan went outside, explained the situation to Shen Yuan, and he nodded, indicating it was okay.

After Qiao Lei came out, Shen Yuan said expressionlessly, "After you change back into your clothes, go to the front desk on the first floor, I'll speak with the room manager to arrange another room for you."

Qiao Lei hummed in response, sneakily glanced at Shen Yuan, and noticed his indifferent expression, as if he wasn't upset.

She had just been worried that Shen Yuan might be angry, but it seemed like he didn't care.

If Shen Yuan had shown anger, she would have felt better inside, at least proving he still liked her and wanted to be with her.

But Shen Yuan's indifferent attitude made her feel as if she was dispensable.

"Am I so insignificant to him?"

Qiao Lei walked into the bedroom with heavy steps and silently took off the bunny girl outfit.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her youthful beauty was not inferior to anyone, and compared to Long Jinghan, it was just a matter of different strengths.

Fine porcelain skin, flawless enough to blow a feather off, a flat and firm abdomen, full breasts, even with faintly visible blue veins.

Do these not count for anything?

Apart from some foreigners, she hadn't seen many girls whiter than herself.

In terms of expertise, Qiao Lei was notably known in Star City's cosplay circle, often invited to raise the quality of exhibitions.

Additionally, she often posted videos and photos on WeChat, accumulating tens of thousands of followers.

Every day, she received 20-30 different messages on WeChat, whether from school or the cosplay circle, and there were always WeChat users sending private messages wanting to add her contact information.

All these reasons contributed to her having ample self-confidence.

But that confidence, in the face of Shen Yuan, turned into self-doubt.

His alternating cold and lukewarm attitude made Qiao Lei feel less than outstanding.

Where everywhere else, she was the darling held close to the heart, with Shen Yuan, she didn't even count as a modest competitor.

She didn't even know how many women Shen Yuan had, only knowing she ranked low in his hierarchy.

This unprecedented sense of defeat left her feeling both despondent and wronged.

Unconsciously, Qiao Lei's eyes began to well up.

She wanted to hold back, but like a dam bursting, tears instantly wet her face.

Just then, Shen Yuan suddenly walked in.

Qiao Lei sniffed, quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, as she didn't want Shen Yuan to see her true feelings.

At the same time, she realized she was completely exposed and hurriedly reached for her clothes.

Shen Yuan had already come up behind her, his arms encircling her soft waist, as he gazed at the stunning body in the mirror and gently asked, "Why are you crying?"

Qiao Lei picked up her clothes to cover herself, her beautiful eyes slightly lowered, "It's nothing."

"I didn't mean anything else, I just don't want to force you."

Shen Yuan stared into the lovely face in the mirror, "Actually, I also want to stay with you a bit longer, but there are plenty of opportunities, if not tonight, then next time."

Shen Yuan couldn't stand to see girls cry, and of course, that was also related to his flirtatious nature.

The pace had indeed been too fast, in one day Qiao Lei had experienced differential treatment, had her first time, shared a moment together, and now was made to wear this outfit, it was definitely hard for her to accept all at once.

Qiao Lei was actually a very proud person, she probably hadn't suffered this kind of grievance usually.

"It's okay, you can go next door first, I'll come find you later."

Shen Yuan added another sentence.

Hearing Shen Yuan's gentle tone, Qiao Lei was slightly moved, but thinking of today's encounter, she still felt very upset.

"Mm, okay."

Qiao Lei said dejectedly.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, looking as delicate as a dew-spattered lotus, with two lines of tears continuously sliding over her fair skin.

Beautiful people look good even when crying, Shen Yuan wiped away her tears, disingenuously saying, "Crying does not look good on you, look, you've cried yourself into a mess."

"You're the one who's a mess!"

Qiao Lei, who had been sobbing, was suddenly made to laugh and cry at the same time by Shen Yuan's words.

"Look at yourself in the mirror."

After wiping the corners of her eyes, Shen Yuan continued to hold her waist, his chin gently resting on her slender shoulders, staring at her in the mirror, "You look better when you're not crying."

Only then did Qiao Lei lift her head, still a bit unsure, "Do I look good?"

After two encounters, especially today, Qiao Lei wasn't as confident as before.

Shen Yuan earnestly nodded, kissing her neck, "Of course, you look good. The women I choose are never unattractive."

The heat of his breath tickled Qiao Lei's neck, his mouth very close.

With such words, Qiao Lei's heart warmed, and she coyly said, "Then why… why do you still treat me this way."

Shen Yuan smiled, "You are too sensitive; I've always cared about you."

"Really?" Qiao Lei asked for confirmation again.

"Of course, it's true."

In this situation, Shen Yuan just intended to placate Qiao Lei; she could forget about hearing a 'no' from him.

Qiao Lei was touched again, tears unconsciously falling; she turned around and hugged Shen Yuan tightly, "You mustn't treat me this way in the future."

"Of course."

Shen Yuan gently patted Qiao Lei's beautiful back to comfort her.

At that moment, a Feel-good Index appeared above Qiao Lei's head.

[Feel-good Index: 63]

Shen Yuan grinned, acknowledging that with a girl like Qiao Lei, not only does he need to use reverse psychology but also a mix of firm and soft approaches.

"Then I'm not leaving."

Qiao Lei completely let down her guard, nestling in Shen Yuan's arms, "I'm staying here tonight."

"Hmm? Have you thought it through?"

This somewhat surprised Shen Yuan.

"Yes, I've thought it through."

Qiao Lei gently nodded, her fair face unconsciously blushing at the thought of what would happen next.

It spread quickly, gradually encompassing her whole body.

For an ordinary man, impatience would likely take over, but Shen Yuan instead said reluctantly, "Maybe you should stay in the next room instead, it's alright to take time to adapt."

Hearing that Shen Yuan wanted to send her away again, Qiao Lei "hmphed" and instinctively bit forward, "I won't, I'm staying right here."

Shen Yuan yelped in pain, thankful that she bit on his pectorals and not his ribs, otherwise, he might not have been up for more antics today.

But at this point, Qiao Lei was completely figured out by Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan gently stroked Qiao Lei's fragrant back with his left hand, while his right hand hooked behind him.

Long Jinghan had been keeping an eye on the situation, and seeing such a gesture, she was slightly taken aback.

Was Qiao Lei really being won over just like that?

Hadn't she just mentioned leaving....

Indeed, Shen Yuan was very skillful.

Always able to precisely manipulate a girl's heart... she couldn't help recalling the two times she herself was manipulated.

The immense humiliation and shame were still vivid in her mind.

It was terrifying... but fortunately, she was already his.

Long Jinghan looked down at her own Cheongsam, which seemed to be less revealing than Qiao Lei's.

So she undid another button at the slit, and like this, the flesh on both sides of her buttocks was discreetly visible, which added some leverage.

Speaking of which, besides the advantages of her height and long legs, her buttocks were also an advantage, firm and perky, and Shen Yuan had even commented that they felt great to the touch, with a satisfying resound when slapped.

Since Qiao Lei's advantage was her skin and ample bust, she certainly had to bring out her perky buttocks and long legs in response.

She couldn't afford to fall behind.

After undoing the button, Long Jinghan timidly walked into the room.....
