Teaching a lesson

"Yan Yan, don't sacrifice yourself for others' happiness. I will explain to Muran," Xi Yaohua said gently. "Rest assured."

"What will you explain? That you love me and want to break up with her?" Qin Yan questioned Xi Yaohua.

"Yan Yan, you don't want to hurt Muran, don't you? Then why don't we be together but not tell anyone?" Xi Yaohua said seriously.

Qin Yan was both impressed by Xi Yaohua's efforts to coax her and completely rendered speechless by his shamelessness.

Ugh! I shouldn't have faked a smile every time I saw him. You reap what you sow, I guess…

"Do you want me to be your mistress?" the smile on Qin Yan's face faded and it was replaced by coldness.

"No, no, Yan Yan, you are misunderstanding me," Xi Yaohua kept on trying to change Qin Yan's mind.
