Chapter 1543: Chapter 1532: Scumbag Turns Over a New Leaf

"I’m ordering a drink. You won’t mind, right?" Gao Yanyan said as she poured the drink, her expression quite ambiguous under the dim light.

However, Ye Qiu rejected her straightforwardly, "I can’t drink, I drove here."

Gao Yanyan wasn’t angry about being rejected, and instead laughed out loud, "Do you say that when you’re out negotiating business with clients?"

Ye Qiu frowned, "This is different."

"How is this different? You could just call a driver later, right?"

Seeing that Gao Yanyan wouldn’t give up if he didn’t drink, Ye Qiu picked up the glass. Just as he did, the glasses clinked with a "ding" sound when she nudged his glass.

She smiled outwardly, "Thank you for helping me so much. Cheers to you."

Ye Qiu tilted his head and drank, mumbling, "We’re classmates after all."

"Do you really only see me as a regular classmate?" Gao Yanyan continued to pour him more wine, this time closer, and the scent of perfume wafted to him.

She had obviously dressed up seriously today, with her brow, eye, and lip colors all exquisite, even the perfume was carefully selected, supposedly a scent men cannot resist.

However, Ye Qiu’s nose wrinkled, and he leaned back slightly, looking somewhat disgusted.

Gao Yanyan’s body froze again, thinking she miscalculated, unexpectedly Ye Qiu didn’t like this scent.

Yet she didn’t admit it, instead teasingly said, "Afraid my scent will linger on you and your wife will misunderstand?"

"No." Ye Qiu politely answered.

"Then why are you avoiding me?" Gao Yanyan said while looking into Ye Qiu’s eyes, accidentally touching the back of Ye Qiu’s hand while setting down the wine bottle.

Ye Qiu instinctively withdrew, his frown deepening.

"What’s wrong with you today? Why are you resisting me?" she asked discontentedly.

"You’re the one acting strange today."

"How am I strange?" Gao Yanyan straightforwardly moved to sit beside him, unbothered and closed in, "I can feel it, you like me, right? I also like you, like being cared and accompanied by you."

"I think you might have misunderstood something." Ye Qiu corrected his expression, moving further away.

"What?"

"I used to like you, but that was when I was younger." Ye Qiu explained.

"So you have no feelings for me now?" Gao Yanyan pressed, staring into his eyes, "I don’t believe it. I only trust my feelings. You still like me, otherwise, why would you hide dining out with me from your family?"

"No, she knows I’m out today." Ye Qiu broke her illusion, "I only see you as pitiful and wanted to let go of youthful concerns."

"Pitiful?" Gao Yanyan raised her voice, "What makes me pitiful?"

"Don’t you think?" Ye Qiu said softly, "You yourself said your father was under investigation, Mom was laid off, lost a lot of money at home, and you’ve been having trouble with work."

"But I have a job now."

"Is that really work?" Ye Qiu expressed confusion, "Singing and dancing on the internet, being teased by strangers?"

Seeing Gao Yanyan’s expression turn unsightly, he gently advised, "You’re not young anymore, men prefer young women, how long can you keep doing this? I suggest you find a proper job instead."

"You claim my job is not proper?" Gao Yanyan was furious, even more angry seeing Ye Qiu viewed her this way, she had deliberately portrayed herself pitifully before him but didn’t expect him to think of her like this.

Ye Qiu looked awkward, "Although the country’s laws in this area are vague, if you wish to marry a decent man in the future, I doubt many men could accept it. So I advise you to think about your future."

"I’m not indecent, are all the internet singers and dancers unacceptable?" Gao Yanyan said angrily.

"But I’ve heard many streamers use various tricks to attract the ones who tip the most." Ye Qiu argued again.

"That’s not me. No matter what, I’d never do such a thing." Gao Yanyan looked at Ye Qiu with immeasurable grievance, "Is this how you see me? Do you think I’m trying to seduce you?"

"Uh...isn’t that what you’re suggesting?" Ye Qiu subtly questioned back.

Gao Yanyan was almost maddened by him, how could this straight-minded, oblivious man manage to marry a wife? He wouldn’t accept the dish served, was he stupid?

"I said I have a fondness for you... with other men I wouldn’t act this way!" Gao Yanyan blushed as she spoke, her face turning crimson, particularly alluring.

But Ye Qiu was unmoved, still kindly explained, "Then you should stop acting like this. I love my wife dearly, I never plan on betraying her."

"Then what’s the deal with your concern these days? You even tipped me so much money?"

"I told you, I see you as pitiful and want to leave the past behind."

"Do you truly have no thoughts about me now?"

"None."

"I don’t believe it."

Ye Qiu was somewhat distressed, what mess had he gotten into? Even after all he’s shown today, this woman just wouldn’t let him go, was she really that desperate and wanted to cling to him as a last resort?

"Unless you prove it to me." Gao Yanyan took a turn in her words.

"How do I prove it?"

"Start by drinking this glass of wine."

Ye Qiu raised the glass and downed its contents, "Then what?"

"Then let’s give it a try." Gao Yanyan said ambiguously, "If you truly want to end the past, why not try it out?"

"How do we try?"

"How do we try?" Gao Yanyan chuckled, then leaned toward his ear, "Of course, by trying at a hotel, don’t you want?"

"Stop being absurd." Ye Qiu stood up and chided, "Such things can’t be said carelessly. I recall you not being a casual woman."

"Am I a casual daughter, but since it’s you?" Gao Yanyan was equally furious, "You stirred me up, I don’t care, you’ve captured my heart, you must take responsibility."

Ye Qiu looked at her with utter disbelief, when did he tease her?

Gao Yanyan spoke once more with grievance, "I don’t want anything else, just spend a night with me, okay? Consider it as thanks, as fulfilling my fantasy about you. You don’t like the scent, how about I wash it off later?"

She didn’t believe that Ye Qiu could refuse even this, a woman offering herself without any demands, if he declined, she’d really doubt if he had any issues in that aspect.

But after hearing her, Ye Qiu got even angrier, "I truly misunderstood you, I told you I’m married and love my wife deeply, I won’t be unfaithful. Previously, I helped you out of goodwill, let’s not contact each other afterward, I’ll treat you to this dinner, let’s not meet and contact anymore."
