Watching Fang Xiaoqing, who was panting and soft all over from his kisses, Li Yang's lips curved into a smile. "Miss Fang, do you think our relationship should develop step by step, or develop faster?"
"I prefer rapid development," Fang Xiaoqing said, looking at him. "When I, Fang Xiaoqing, fall for a man, I never drag my feet."
"Then I understand. I won't be sending you home tonight. Let's go directly to a hotel and book a room," Li Yang said with a smile.
What!
Go directly to a hotel to book a room?
Even Fang Xiaoqing, who wanted rapid development, couldn't help but panic when she heard him say that.
"Is, is this too fast?"
"Didn't you say you wanted it fast?"
"I didn't mean this fast," Fang Xiaoqing's face flushed.
Li Yang smiled and said, "What's the difference? I don't mind you taking advantage."
"How can you say I'm taking advantage of you in this kind of situation?" Fang Xiaoqing was a bit stunned.
Li Yang looked at her and said, "It's the 21st century, and men and women are equal. Why can't women take advantage?"
"Hurry up and buckle your seatbelt. I'm going to drive."
"I, I still have some things to do, Brother Li. I'll get out of the car now. Be careful when you drive back. See you next time."
Seeing that he wasn't joking, Fang Xiaoqing nervously tried to open the car door to get out.
But she tried to open the door several times without success. "Brother Li, why did you lock the car door?"
"This will be safer," Li Yang said with a smile. "Don't be afraid. If we really get to the hotel and you're not willing, I won't force you."
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Seeing that the car was already moving, Fang Xiaoqing's expression changed. Was he serious?
Every time she saw a hotel sign on the street, her heart would pound, thinking Li Yang would stop and check into that hotel.
But until the end, Li Yang didn't stop at any hotel entrance. Instead, he drove her directly to her doorstep.
"We're here. You can get out."
"Ah?" Fang Xiaoqing looked at her familiar home and responded blankly, "This doesn't look like a hotel, does it?"
"Of course, it's not a hotel," Li Yang said with a smile. "Hurry up and get out. Don't keep your family waiting too long."
"You, you deliberately tricked me, didn't you?" Seeing a hint of teasing in his smile, Fang Xiaoqing immediately understood. She raised her small fists in embarrassment and anger, pounding them towards Li Yang's chest.
Bang, bang, bang. Li Yang was startled.
Damn it!
This woman looks petite and cute, but why is her little fist so strong?
Li Yang exclaimed, "Do you want to murder your husband?"
"Even if I murder my husband, it's because you tricked me," Fang Xiaoqing said coquettishly, but the force of her blows had significantly lessened.
Li Yang smiled wryly and feigned pain. "Ouch, it hurts so much. You're really trying to murder your husband! Someone save me!"
"You can shout all you want, but no one will come to save you. Let's see if you dare to play tricks on me for fun next time," Fang Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh at his exaggerated demeanor.
Li Yang grabbed her small fists and said, "Alright, Miss Fang, hurry home, or your family will worry."
"I know. Be careful when you go back too," Fang Xiaoqing had punched him so many times that most of her anger had disappeared. She nodded, opened the car door, and got out.
Watching Li Yang drive away, she hummed a little tune and returned home with a happy expression.
An hour later, Li Yang arrived at his doorstep and saw two people standing outside the main gate of the old house.
"Husband, you're finally back. We've been waiting for a long time." A young woman with an injured face walked over with a fawning smile. It was Su Qianqian.
The middle-aged woman beside her also smiled obsequiously, "Good son-in-law, we were wrong before. We've learned from our mistakes and decided to turn over a new leaf. Give us another chance to mend our relationship, okay?"
"Su Qianqian, Lin Lan, are you out of your minds?" Li Yang frowned as he looked at the mother and daughter, saying with amusement, "After all this, you're still talking about mending our relationship? You're treating me, Li Yang, as nothing!"
"Even if I were willing, our ancestors of the Li family wouldn't be."
"Li Yang, I'll tell you the truth. My encounter with you was all meticulously arranged by someone, with the sole purpose of harming your Li family."
Su Qianqian stood by the car door and said, "If you don't accept us, mother and daughter, then the failure to harm your Li family will be known to that 'important figure'."
"You'll be in big trouble then."
"You're saying it was all a plan with ulterior motives?" Li Yang narrowed his eyes, surprised that there was a hidden hand behind all this. "An important figure wants to harm our Li family?"
"That's right!" Seeing that his daughter had said this, Lin Lan's previously fawning smile disappeared, replaced by a cold one. "Li Yang, if we pretend nothing happened and continue our lives as before."
"This would be a great thing for you. Don't make a mistake."
"Heh heh, do you think you can scare me by saying this?" Li Yang sneered and stared at them. "I can tell you now, even if there really is a big figure behind the scenes plotting against our Li family, I'm not afraid."
"You can go find that big figure now!"
"You, Li Yang, do you have to fight us to the death?" Su Qianqian said angrily, gritting her teeth. "What good will that do you?"
"I don't care about the good or bad. I only know one thing: I'm happy to do it!" Li Yang chuckled and honked his car horn.
A piercing honk immediately pierced the ears of the two women, making their faces turn pale with pain.
Su Qianqian said angrily, "Fine, fine, fine! We gave you a chance, but you refused it and insisted on courting death!"
"When you're found dead in the wilderness, fed to the wild beasts, don't blame us for not warning you!"
"That's right, if you want to die, we mother and daughter will fulfill your wish!" Lin Lan also roared furiously.
Li Yang picked at his ear and said, "Got it. You can leave now."
"You, hmph! Mom, let's go!" Su Qianqian turned and left, gnashing her teeth. Damn Li Yang, how could he have become so tough and unwilling to cooperate with us!
After walking a distance, Lin Lan suddenly said with some fear, "Daughter, we just told that person not long ago that the matter was settled."
"Now there's such a change. Do you think that person will take our lives?"
"Even if I die, I'll drag Li Yang down with me!" Su Qianqian said maliciously.
"He forced all of this!"
