"Do you only know how to do things that are beneficial to you?”The novel network didn't jump. Li Yi looked into Sun Zhiyang's eyes and asked calmly. His eyes were filled with suspicion.
Such an answer touched her most sensitive nerves. Countless guesses entangled in her heart, and she could not figure them out. Sun Zhiyang! Was he like this? Was everything that he usually showed just an illusion? This person could change his expression so quickly and deal with sudden situations so calmly. Then he must be the kind of person with a strong goal, calm and decisive.
If he hadn't been quick-witted and suddenly played the murderous Border Pass Music. It attracted the attention of the soldiers and made them feel as if they were there, arousing their grief on the battlefield. How could he have the time to stop this war in time, and how could he easily move the hearts of these soldiers with just a few words?
It wasn't that this song was stalling for time. Even if he shouted his throat out, he wouldn't be able to stop those soldiers who were killing with their eyes red. At that time, a blade or arrow from an unranked soldier might take his life.
She started to feel fear for no reason. She was afraid of the man in front of her. His eyes were deep, like a bottomless abyss. How many things were hidden there? How many stories were hidden?
His gaze was ever-changing. Sometimes, it was as warm as the spring breeze, and sometimes, it was as cold as the thousand-year-old ice. Even his silence was suffocating. No one knew what terrifying things he would do at any moment.
However, she was sure of one thing. He must have some purpose for staying by her side. Why would such a person help me without any purpose? Why would he be willing to accompany me back to Pingjin to be my advisor? No matter what he wanted, as long as he had what he wanted, he still had a bargaining chip in his hand. However, he did not know how valuable this bargaining chip was. Can I keep him alive for a while, or forever? Was it a blessing? Or a disaster?
She had to figure out what he wanted. This was very important. Only by knowing what he wanted could she judge how much this person could do for her and how much life he would bring to the Li family.
Sun Zhiyang met Li Yi's gaze and did not dodge at all. He calmly looked at the woman who was examining him. He did not need to be a good person and treat an unrelated person for no reason. Life! That was the most fragile and worthless thing. As many as cow hair, as cheap as grass.
His heart had long been numb, so numb that he thought that no one would ever leave a mark on his heart. People were just chess pieces. Whether they were rich or poor, they were all selfish, humble, ugly chess pieces that could be manipulated at will.
She was the only one who wasn't. Her uniqueness had attracted his attention. If she was a man, she would be a good tool to join the Zhongyi Hall. As long as she did her best to work for the Zhongyi Hall, fame, status, and women, the Zhongyi Hall could give her everything she wanted.
However, the heavens had played a joke on him. The person he wanted to accept as his disciple was actually a woman. The woman was as beautiful as a fairy that could only be seen in dreams. She was as clever as a nine-tailed fox. Her warmth made his heart melt slowly, only for her. He didn't need her to say too many words or show too many expressions. Just a smile, a look, or even a tear could touch his heart. His heart that was like dead ashes would also throb.
"You're only talking about benefits. Then, what are your conditions?”Li Yi leaned forward and gently hooked Sun Zhiyang's chin with his fingertips. He stared into his eyes like a playboy who was teasing a good woman. She wanted to know his trump card. What exactly did he want to take from her?
"You are playing with fire!" His voice was calm, reminding her that no one dared to treat him like this.
"I want to see you clearly. Tell me, what's your purpose in becoming my advisor? What do you want? The conditions should be put on the table and stated clearly. As long as I think I can give it to you, I will try my best to satisfy your request. Because you are worth it, you have the right to bid. If it's something I can't afford, please leave. Just treat it as if we never knew each other. What I have is limited. I don't have that many things to exchange.”
"You have it, and only you have it." Sun Zhiyang said provocatively. He grabbed her wrist and forced her to move her finger away.
His words did not have any extra emotions, but it made Li Yi feel an inexplicable chill flowing through his entire body. Unease and panic, she desperately tried to break free from his restraints and tried to pull him away, but it was useless.
He sneered. With just a gentle pull, she was already lying in his arms. The more she struggled, the more she could feel the changes in his body.
In the seductive atmosphere and ambiguous actions, his breathing became heavy and rapid. The hot air hit her ear, making her feel numb.
"You like men?" Li Yi asked in surprise.
"I like you!" Sun Zhiyang whispered in her ear. He couldn't help but kiss her earlobe. He gently held her ear in his mouth and nibbled on it, enjoying the cold and smooth feeling.
"But I don't like men. Change the conditions!”Li Yi refused without hesitation. She could not accept this condition.
She could disguise herself as a man for the Li family, she could scheme and play tricks for the Li family, and she could even die for her family. However, she could not use her love and body as a bargaining chip. If she did that, how was she any different from a prostitute? However, they were doing it for money, while he was doing it for the safety of the Li family. But selling it was selling it! Was there any distinction between noble and despicable?
"Change the condition!" He repeated angrily. He tightened his arms, his heart stung by her calm tone.
In her eyes, being with him was just a transaction? He liked to use the simplest method to make deals and control everyone he wanted to use. But now, the person who was negotiating with him was her! Lying in his arms so calmly, could it be that he didn't have any feelings for him?
Her indifference was the most vicious weapon that drove him crazy. He was like an enraged beast, revealing an evil smile. He stubbornly believed that only pain could make her realize her existence and understand that she had to pay a heavy price for angering him.
He held her chin tightly and controlled her body with force, his eyes burning with lust.
He kissed her lips recklessly. Those smooth and tender cherry lips were incomparably sweet, making him lose himself in this beautiful feeling. He tossed and turned, and the kiss was very deep! His entire being was immersed in the happiness of having her. It was only a second, but he wanted to spend the rest of his life, forever.
When he could no longer breathe and felt her struggle, he kissed her lips lightly and left reluctantly, looking into her eyes with pity.
"So Brother Zhiyang likes men."
"Men!" Sun Zhiyang frowned, and his teasing became even stronger.
He caressed her body and moved up little by little. Li Yi struggled desperately. Just as he was about to make a sound, he was kissed again.
She widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. He closed his eyes obsessively, enjoying her lips and the soft breasts in his hands.
"He knows that I'm a woman!" Li Yi shouted in his heart, as if someone had seen her most intimate secret.
She pushed him away with all her might and retreated in panic, pulling the distance between them.
"You…you…know…that I'm a woman?”
"Yes, and I know that you will be my woman.”
"Is that why you're willing to be my advisor? That's why you're willing to help me?"
"Protecting what belongs to you is a human instinct. I told you, I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me.”
Li Yi looked at him in a daze. His mind was in a mess. Uneasiness, fear, struggle, everything slowly settled down, and all his strength was sucked dry. She sighed weakly. She was not willing to sacrifice her last bit of self-esteem for a lie.
"Thank you for playing the zither and buying me time. I can't give you what you want."
Sun Zhiyang's face was gloomy. Her rejection was like a punch to his heart. His heart, which had melted because of the kiss, instantly froze again. It was colder and harder than before.
"Have you thought it through? Without me, would you be able to take control of Ping Jin and let the Li family leave smoothly?”The novel network didn't jump.
Li Yi smiled in relief,"Life is not as one wishes. What I want in my heart, I can't!" There was nothing he could do about it. As long as he did his best, he would have no regrets! I can't have both. There are some things that I can't bear to part with and can't surpass. Thank you. Now that Ping Jin's ban has been lifted, you should leave quickly. I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't see you off.”
Li Yi got up easily, tidied up his clothes, and walked to the car door.
Sun Zhiyang sneered." Unsurpassable? It wasn't mutual love, was it? Who do you like? Zhou Guangda? Ouyang Bo? Nighthawks? Or was it someone else? Can they help you? Do you think Hu He will stop here?”The novel network didn't jump.
"I like myself. Maybe I'm a little selfish, but who in the world doesn't live selfishly?”
Sun Zhiyang lowered his head and sat in the shadows. His face and expression couldn't be seen. He was as arrogant as the Grim Reaper who had the power to decide everything.
"I'll give you another chance? You can be my woman and I can guarantee that I can bring the Li family out of Pingjin safely and give you everything you want. Or you can only be a dead man."
Li Yi smiled bitterly. Women were ultimately just men's playthings. In their eyes, it was no different from a pet. When they liked it, they would play with you, give you food, and kindly give you a tag. When she didn't like him, she would be thrown aside, and the woman would wait, hope, and wait for that man for the rest of her life, until her beauty faded, until her temples turned white, until she lamented," I only hear the new laugh, but who hears the old cry?"
"Actually, death is not scary. The scariest thing is to live, to live a life worse than death. You don't like me. You only like yourself like me. Because if he wanted it, he had to get it. As for the other party's feelings, that was not something you would care about. Let's go, leave Pingjin."
Parting
