My Sexy Female CEO

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Li Xiangmei asked.

The better Lin Yifan treated her, the harder it was for her to forget him.

"Because... because I once wronged you."

Lin Yifan looked distressed, reluctant to bring up the past.

"You didn't wrong me. It was all that girl's doing, so you don't need to feel guilty or feel like you owe me anything."

Li Xiangmei was a bit angry because Lin Yifan had never actually loved her; it had all been an act.

"But..."

"But what?" Li Xiangmei demanded.

"Nothing, I just want to do what I can to help you."

Lin Yifan hesitated, truthfully, at the time, he did have feelings for Li Xiangmei; if Li Xiangmei had loved him as much as Su Qingqing did, he might have kept her around.

"No need. I have my own hands and feet, I can make a living."

Li Xiangmei didn't want Lin Yifan's pity, there was no reason for it.

"Xiao Qing, isn't your sister too stubborn?"

Lin Yifan was truly helpless, he wanted to say the words, but felt the moment had passed, no need to dwell on it.

"Yes, yes, too..."

"You dare say more!"

Xiao Qing was intimidated by Li Xiangmei's gaze and didn't dare to respond to Lin Yifan anymore.

Lin Yifan had rarely seen Li Xiangmei so fierce; it appeared she really cared about what had happened.

"Ah! What should I do? Might as well admit, it's suffocating to keep it inside."

So he replied, "Miss Li, I help you because there is a reason."

"What reason? Don't tell me it's because we're friends," Li Xiangmei eagerly asked.

"No, to be honest, I once liked you, but at that time I already had a girlfriend. But little troublemaker Xiao Qing never let me explain, and by fate we became boyfriend and girlfriend.

I didn't want to hurt you, so I had to keep up the lie; but a paper eventually can't cover the fire, some things were bound to happen sooner or later; you left Guiyuan City because of me, so when I came to my senses, I always felt guilty.

Now meeting you again, I just want to make up for the harm I caused back then, that's all."

"Why did you like me if you had a girlfriend? You heartbreaker!" Li Xiangmei couldn't help but complain, but felt much better, and then curiously asked, "Did they leave you when they found out?"

"No, they just gave me a stern talking-to, and then that was the end of it," Lin Yifan replied.

"Do they love you that much?" Li Xiangmei felt her own love was so insignificant; no wonder she couldn't win the heart of the man she adored.

Now what she cared about most was this: "How many girlfriends do you have now?"

"Four!" Lin Yifan answered frankly, it was already common knowledge, no need to hide it.

"Four? So many, don't they get jealous?" Li Xiangmei was extremely surprised, finding it hard to imagine.

Even Xiao Qing felt the same, with so many women vying for one man, how exhausting it must be.

"It's impossible for them not to be jealous, they're jealous every day."

Currently, Lin Yifan missed the days when he and An Qi and the others lived happily together.

"Do they get along well?" Li Xiangmei continued to ask.

"Very well."

"No way! That's not logical!"

"What's not logical about it? As long as there's mutual love, everyone becomes family."

"Then, Mr. Lin, are you interested in taking Xiangmei in as well?" Xiao Qing asked.

Since Lin Yifan had so many women, adding one more shouldn't be a problem, right?

Lin Yifan responded with a bitter smile, "No, because of me, two women are already in danger, and another is being watched like a hostage. I really don't want to drag any more innocent girls into this."

"With your skills, can't you beat them?" Xiao Qing was puzzled.

In her eyes, Lin Yifan was already highly skilled in martial arts; if he couldn't defeat them, how strong could they be?

"They are among the most powerful forces in the world; at this stage, I don't have the power to confront them." Lin Yifan answered truthfully.

"Will you consider taking her as a concubine after you rescue them?" Xiao Qing asked hopefully.

"Well... I don't know, it depends on the situation; the most important thing is, it depends on your sister Xiangmei."

Lin Yifan had reached this level of shamelessness; perhaps it was unknowingly developed over time.

Xiao Qing was extremely happy; Lin Yifan's answer was a hint; he had already opened a big door for Li Xiangmei, now it was up to her whether to step through.

She nudged Li Xiangmei beside her, full of curiosity asking, "Sister Xiangmei, do you want to join this big family?"

"No way, competing for attention every day, that's exhausting." Li Xiangmei refused directly.

In fact, she was hesitant; she wanted to, but didn't dare to, afraid she wouldn't win Lin Yifan's love, afraid of being neglected, afraid of being targeted by Lin Yifan's other women, and so on.

"Who do you want to marry then? You've been looking for so long, and haven't found anyone suitable." Xiao Qing pursued.

"What's the harm in looking a bit longer? At worst, I'll never marry in this lifetime." Li Xiangmei replied.

"Such a great woman, what a pity not to marry." Xiao Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't want to talk about this topic anymore."

Li Xiangmei wanted to escape reality, at this point, she really hadn't thought it through.

Although she liked Lin Yifan, what if she found someone more suitable? So she still wanted to consider her options, to see if she could really forget Lin Yifan.

The answer was already obvious; actually, Lin Yifan was a bit afraid of Li Xiangmei agreeing, for by then, he wouldn't know how to explain it to An Qi and the others.

The emotional knots had been untied, and everyone felt relieved, especially Li Xiangmei.

She just wanted to know if Lin Yifan had ever liked her; as long as that doubt was resolved, everything else would be fine.

The three ate awkwardly, and if it weren't for Xiao Qing keeping the atmosphere lively, they wouldn't know how to get through the meal.

After eating, the three went to stroll around the street, buying things and the like.

They arrived at a jewelry store, where Li Xiangmei took a liking to a pendant but didn't have the money to buy it.

Lin Yifan immediately took out his wallet and paid without hesitation.

Xiao Qing watched in astonishment, full of envy, jealousy, and resentment, "Sister Xiangmei, Mr. Lin is so good to you, a jade pendant worth tens of thousands, he paid immediately without a word. If I met a man like that, I would definitely marry him."

"Xiao Qing, stop inciting trouble as usual; this amount, I'll treat it as a loan from Mr. Lin. Once I earn enough, I'll repay it immediately."

Li Xiangmei remained stubborn, not wanting to owe Lin Yifan too much.
