Alone once more, Xu Qi couldn't help but muse over the encounter. While she was indeed testing his mettle, he couldn't shake off the feeling that Elder Min might just be a lonely soul seeking companionship. Her interest in him was naturally still questionable but it was clear in her eyes that she saw potential in him, beyond his charm.
Unfortunately, Xu Qi had no plans to seek out women like a hungry beast. His goal wasn't really about seducing everyone and getting the benefits out of them. If he could form relations with someone, he didn't want to be half-assed about it and leave them hanging in the end.
Committing to someone would be like how he did it with both Xiao Yue and Ling Lian. Not a fleeting exchange for benefits but a bond they would share no matter how long they were separated or how far apart they became from each other.
