Chapter 658: Chapter 658: The Swindler’s Leap
"We’ve only met once today, and you’re saying you like me?" Xu Ke’s voice was slightly raised, with a hint of laughter, as if mocking.
"That’s why I say it’s love at first sight. From the moment I saw you, I felt I couldn’t help but like you, you know? This feeling is quite wonderful, as if the whole world has become your backdrop, they are all black and white, and only you are different, you are colorful, and alive." Xingyue’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Xu Ke, her eyes hiding countless stars.
Even though Xu Ke knew this woman had ulterior motives towards him, he couldn’t deny that she had beautiful eyes. Those eyes added quite a bit to her charm, but at the same time, Xu Ke couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful that such striking, seemingly talkative eyes belonged to such a person.
"So, was it intentional when you approached me at KFC? Did you also deliberately spill Coke all over yourself, making me come over to help and getting me to buy you clothes, all because you fell in love with me at first sight?" Xu Ke raised one eyebrow, looking as if he didn’t believe what Xingyue had just said.
"Yes, it was all intentional, but it’s just that I didn’t know how to express my affection for you, I didn’t mean to, I can’t control myself, can you forgive me?" Xingyue hadn’t wanted to admit it, but after thinking about it, she decided there was no point in denying it any farther since she’d already said so much, so she admitted it directly.
Xu Ke’s lips curved slightly upward. Seeing Xu Ke’s face become more handsome because of the smile, Xingyue couldn’t help but show a trace of a smile as well.
"No, I can’t." Xu Ke said with a smile.
"What?" Xingyue felt as if she had just misheard something and showed a brief moment of confusion.
"I said no, I can’t forgive you." Xu Ke leaned against the door, speaking lazily.
Xingyue was genuinely stunned this time; it was the first time she doubted her own charm. How could someone reject a woman who came to him willingly? How could someone refuse?
"Why? Am I not pretty enough?" Xingyue asked, puzzled.
"Because I’m already married. I have a wife." Xu Ke replied coldly.
Hearing it was this kind of reason, unexpectedly, Xingyue’s heart settled.
"It’s okay, I don’t mind that you have a wife. I wasn’t hoping for any status or anything. Meeting you today is already my luck. I’m very easily satisfied, and I never ask for too much; I just want one night." Xingyue waved an index finger in Xu Ke’s face, "I just want one night of tenderness with you, and nothing more. I just want a memorable, wonderful night, is that okay?" Boldly, Xingyue wrapped her arm around Xu Ke’s neck, standing on tiptoe, trying to catch Xu Ke’s lips with her own, but Xu Ke dodged, making the kiss land on his cheek instead.
Xu Ke reached out and took Xingyue’s arm off his neck. "I don’t need a one-night stand. If you’re looking for a one-night stand, you can try meeting someone randomly outside a bar." What Xu Ke said was indirect but meant he was suggesting she go pick up a stranger.
Xingyue’s face suddenly turned very unpleasant.
"I don’t want anyone else, I just want you." Xingyue gritted her teeth and lunged at Xu Ke again, but Xu Ke held her head in place, preventing her from advancing.
The initially ambiguous atmosphere suddenly became a bit silly and humorous because of Xu Ke’s unexpected action. Consequently, all the charming thoughts that had sprouted in Xingyue’s heart vanished completely.
"Do you hate me that much? I’m not asking you to take responsibility. I just want to have a beautiful night with you. Is that not allowed?" Xingyue asked Xu Ke sadly, her eyes brimming with disappointment.
"I’ve told you, I already have a wife."
"But I also told you, I don’t mind."
"I don’t want my wife to know about this."
"If you don’t say anything, and I don’t, no one will know. So the reasons you’ve just given aren’t valid." Xingyue’s eyes stared directly at Xu Ke. Clearly, if Xu Ke couldn’t provide her with a satisfying answer today, she wouldn’t give up easily.
"Must I make everything so clear?" Xu Ke countered.
Xingyue’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, as if something bad was about to happen, but upon closer scrutiny, everything seemed to be a mere illusion, "I don’t understand what you mean." Xingyue said, her face sporting a just-right amount of naivety, but in reality, her hands were nervously clutching her robe.
Seeing Xingyue’s persistent determination, Xu Ke suddenly wanted to see what expression this woman would have if she knew he had seen through them long ago. Yet before Xu Ke could finish his sentence, the robe on Xingyue’s body, unable to withstand her tugging, released its hold and fell off her.
In the blink of an eye, Xingyue was completely undressed, her snow-white and smooth body appeared in Xu Ke’s sight without warning, successfully silencing what Xu Ke was about to say, and for two seconds, Xu Ke’s mind went blank.
He could only cough awkwardly a couple of times, "Whatever you have to say, put your clothes on first." Xu Ke turned his face away gentlemanly, giving Xingyue time to dress, but unexpectedly, Xingyue took the opportunity to slip into his embrace, clinging to him like an octopus, refusing to let go.
"Let go of me." Xu Ke said with a cold face, trying to peel Xingyue off, but Xingyue twisted her waist, refusing to come down from Xu Ke.
"I won’t come down unless you agree to me today, and you have feelings for me, don’t you?" Xingyue lifted her head, looking at Xu Ke with eyes that pierced like electricity.
"I’m a man, not a eunuch. With the way you’re pressing against me, any man would have a reaction." Xu Ke sneered.
"Since you’ve reacted, then why not be with me? You’re a man, I’m a woman, even if there’s a loss, it’s me taking the loss. What are you afraid of?" Xingyue asked, confused.
"I’m not scared; I just think you’re dirty." Xu Ke’s eyes were like the coldest lake water, instantly extinguishing the fire that Xingyue had ignited.
"What did you say?" Xingyue asked blankly.
"I said I think you’re dirty." Xu Ke repeated.
As if synchronizing with Xu Ke’s words, the door made a noise.
The door handle kept turning, clearly indicating someone wanted to enter, but after two attempts, they didn’t manage to open it. The person outside seemed to have finally understood something and began kicking the door, a series of dull sounds echoed, making Xingyue inside anxious and scared.
