Jealousy Ignites a Girlfriend Declaration
Li Bing arrived in no time at all. After all, Duan Lin's villa was right in the city, not in the bustling heart but not too far from it either—smack on the edge of Futian District. She got a real scare, though, when she rang the doorbell and came face-to-face with those heavily armed female security guards.
Good thing Duan Lin had given instructions ahead of time, so no one hassled her. She was quickly escorted straight to Chu Fei.
The sight of him tearing into those suckling pig trotters on the table with total abandon made her lose all restraint. She flew at him in a rush. "You've got all this amazing food and you didn't call me?! Gimme some too!!"
But Li Bing wasn't like Chu Fei. She just sampled a bit of the meat dishes here and there. What really drew her in were the all-vegan plates in front of Duan Lin. That's when she clocked the woman who'd been staring her down coldly—this had to be the lady of the house.
She couldn't help tugging secretly at Chu Fei's arm. "Hey, Chu Fei, when did you get acquainted with an ice queen like her? That glare is terrifying... she really doesn't seem to like me..."
"Don't sweat it. That's just her face all the time. Eat up."
Chu Fei brushed her off without a care. This feast had really hit the spot for him—and lucky it was him chowing down. A normal guy would've been stuffed to bursting, maybe a few of them.
And as for playing host... well, only Duan Lin could be that indifferent about it.
"I'm stuffed, Duan Lin. Gonna go spar with Su Rui to help things settle. Mind keeping Li Bing company?"
"No way! I'm full too—I'm coming with you!"
Li Bing had zero interest in hanging with some woman who looked like a block of ice. Besides, she'd only come here for Chu Fei in the first place.
"But aren't we supposed to avoid intense exercise right after eating?"
"Then... let's take a stroll first." Chu Fei made a decision he'd regret big time. The moment the three of them stepped out, Li Bing instinctively hooked her arm through his. To Duan Lin, though, it looked like a blatant show of dominance—so she calmly draped herself on his other arm...
Li Bing shot Chu Fei a barrage of fierce glares at the sight, but she only clung tighter, pressing her breasts right up against him!
But that wasn't even the end of it. To top off Chu Fei's mortification, they ran smack into Su Rui and her patrol crew in the courtyard. The female guards behind Su Rui gaped wide enough to swallow goose eggs whole. Su Rui kept her face neutral, but later, when Chu Fei came to her for grappling lessons after the walk, her hits packed way more punch than yesterday's. He barely lasted half an hour before calling a tactical retreat...
Duan Lin had the same meds from yesterday all ready for him—super effective stuff. By the end of yesterday's massage, his bruises were pretty much gone already...
Of course, that had plenty to do with Chu Fei's current superhuman constitution too.
But then Duan Lin casually stripped him and herself buck naked right in front of Li Bing... and climbed right on top.
The fallout? A fired-up Li Bing drained him four or five times over that night in his room, moaning loud enough for the whole courtyard to hear. She only stopped when she was utterly spent, curling up contentedly against him for sleep.
Thank goodness she had to bolt first thing next morning—otherwise, that villa would've been chaos central!
Chu Fei wiped a river of sweat from his brow, vowing not to let her drop by again. Women... yeah, tricky creatures for sure!
With work calling during the day, Li Bing had no choice but to dress while shooting furious looks at Chu Fei and Duan Lin splashing around in their naked mandarin duck swim.
Once she was gone, Duan Lin—uncharacteristically—paused her movements and leaned into him. "Still claiming she's not your girlfriend? So what were you two up to last night?"
Chu Fei blinked in surprise. That tone, that vibe—was Duan Lin actually jealous?
His mood soared. He wrapped an arm around her slender waist and gave her ass a squeeze. "If that's what makes someone my girlfriend, doesn't that make you one too?"
"Fine by me." Duan Lin nodded with surprising seriousness. "Then I'll be your girlfriend—for now."
"Uh..."
"Heard her mention yesterday your shop shut down? What shop? Cash flow problems? Need some money?"
Duan Lin gently wiped a bit of sleep crust from the corner of his eye, then looped her arms around his neck like she was already settling into the role.
"Just a little beauty and hair salon. Not exactly closed—we're renovating. Xie Qin and the others invested, want me to turn it into a full beauty body center. That's why she sent me here to pick up some skills from you."
"Ah, got it. Sounds a lot like what we do here, then?"
