Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Too High!
Rong Ling crossed his arms: “Speak.”
Li Yufei raised an eyebrow: “Speak what?”
Rong Ling: “Didn’t we agree on the rules earlier? If you beat me, I would agree to one thing for you.”
Li Yufei then remembered: “I had forgotten.”
Rong Ling frowned: “I thought you remembered the bet, otherwise, why would you be so passionate about winning?”
He noticed how seriously she was playing.
Li Yufei smiled: “I take everything seriously. It’s my habit.”
Rong Ling: “Then do you have a request to make?”
Li Yufei pondered for a moment: “Only one request?”
Rong Ling: “Mm-hmm.”
Li Yufei: “Is anything off-limits?”
Rong Ling started to feel nervous: “Are you planning to make some very harsh demand?”
Li Yufei was amused by his expression and couldn’t help but pinch his cheek lightly: “Why are you so cute, did you think I’d make a really tough demand or something?”
Rong Ling: “Seeing you double-checking, I thought…”
Li Yufei: “Why, even if I wanted you to climb a mountain of knives or go through a sea of flames, wouldn’t you be willing?”
Rong Ling: “Of course, my life is yours.”
He said it so naturally.
Li Yufei felt touched in her heart and continued to seriously contemplate on what kind of condition to propose next.
Seeing her dilemma, Rong Ling “kindly” suggested: “It seems you don’t have many demands for me, how about giving me this opportunity?”
Li Yufei: “No.”
She refused without even thinking.
On the surface, he seems naive and innocent, but who knows what little ideas are swirling in his mind.
Rong Ling said: “What if you really can’t think of anything?”
Li Yufei suddenly thought of something and smiled slightly at him: “Rong Ling, I’ve thought of something!”
Rong Ling immediately leaned forward slightly, looking serious: “Hmm? Tell me.”
Li Yufei smiled and said: “Let’s get married!”
Upon hearing this, Rong Ling looked slightly surprised, his ears reddening slightly, his shoulders shrugging a bit, as he seemed confused and asked repeatedly: “Does that count as a condition?”
Li Yufei: “Doesn’t it count as a condition?”
Rong Ling: “Can I consider that you’re proposing to me?”
Li Yufei leisurely responded: “What if I say ‘yes’?”
Rong Ling: “Yufei, you really are something special. Isn’t it usually the man’s role to propose? Besides, even if you didn’t say it, I would have proposed to you.”
Li Yufei frowned slightly and leaned back on the sofa: “Then it doesn’t count, I’ll think of a new one.”
Seeing how serious she was, Rong Ling found her a bit cute, maybe because he rarely saw her acting so childishly. She was really racking her brain over a simple request.
Suddenly, Li Yufei’s eyes lit up: “I thought of it!”
Rong Ling: “Tell me.”
Li Yufei: “I want you to carry me like a princess…”
Before she could finish, Rong Ling had already stood up, shooting her a playful look: “That’s so simple.”
Li Yufei also stood up: “Hold on, I’m not done yet!”
Rong Ling made a soft “mm-hmm” sound, looking into her eyes, waiting for her to continue.
Li Yufei: “I want you to carry me like a princess, do 20 sets of squats, and each time you get up, throw me up and catch me securely.”
Rong Ling slightly opened his mouth, a bit astonished: “Wow… you like it this thrilling?”
Li Yufei: “20 sets of squats, plus throwing and catching me, it’s not an easy challenge. Can you handle it?”
Rong Ling bit his lip: “I’m not some weakling, just 20 sets, shouldn’t be a problem.”
Li Yufei: “Then add 10 more sets!”
Rong Ling was astonished again, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes: “You’re really not concerned for your man at all. What if I can’t complete it?”
Li Yufei laughed heartily: “Then you’ll just have to sleep on the floor tonight!”
Hearing this, Rong Ling refused to comply, scooped Li Yufei into his arms, bent over, and looked at her with mischievous intent: “Yufei, are you afraid of heights?”
Li Yufei: “I didn’t ask you to throw me that high…”
Just as she finished speaking, Rong Ling exerted his strength and tossed her high into the air. Li Yufei let out a startled scream, instinctively reaching out to hook around his neck.
Quickly, she was caught back into his arms steadily, and Rong Ling held her tightly, performing a standard squat, throwing her up again as he rose.
“Ah…”
Too high!
Li Yufei could even be sure that if he threw her just a bit higher, her forehead would be just a few centimeters from the chandelier!
And yet, Rong Ling could still catch her securely.
Apart from his usual training, Li Yufei was too light. She always gave off a strong aura in her high heels and business attire, but without them, she was slender and light, their height difference so stark…
This was his wife, even if his arm was broken, he wouldn’t dare not catch her and let her get hurt!
Rong Ling was confident, which is why he dared to throw her so high, but Li Yufei wasn’t as sure, so each time he threw her, she would lose control and let out a scream, her face going pale with fright.
Not knowing how many sets he had done, Li Yufei was worried he might tire out and accidentally drop her. Just as she landed back in his arms, she reached out, patted his shoulder: “Alright! Alright.”
Rong Ling seriously said: “Not there yet.”
Li Yufei: “How many sets are you planning to do?”
Seeing his relaxed and easy demeanor, she wasn’t sure if this so-called punishment was actually punishing him or punishing herself!
“Rong Ling… I’m kind of scared…”
She wasn’t really afraid of heights, but the feeling of weightlessness when thrown made her feel insecure.
Rong Ling: “This is only the fifteenth set.”
Li Yufei: “Too high, it’s too high…”
Seeing herself about to be thrown again, Li Yufei clung tightly onto his shoulder.
But Rong Ling had already made the move, and Li Yufei, clinging like a koala, caused them to fall onto the sofa together due to the inertia.
Rong Ling instinctively extended his hand to protect her back, adjusting their position in the process.
When Li Yufei came back to her senses, she found herself laying undignified on his chest.
Raising her head, she unintentionally locked eyes with Rong Ling’s somewhat teasing gaze.
Her face instantly turned crimson red, and she realized just how out of composure she had been.
Li Yufei awkwardly cleared her throat, just about to crawl off of him, but Rong Ling wrapped his arm around her back, pulling her closer: “So, do you like it?”
Li Yufei: “No… I don’t…”
Rong Ling: “If you’re so scared, why did you make such a request?”
