192: Get on the highway! - 3 (Bonus Chapter)

Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

To say he wasn't tempted at all would be a lie. If the girl hadn't added that last sentence, he might have really gone inside and taken off his pants.

But the problem was, her meaning was clear: she didn't want to bother figuring out how to please the "Big Brother" anymore, nor did she want to play the "gift-giving and returning" game. She just wanted to use her body in exchange for stability.

How could that be allowed?

As long as she paid the down payment tomorrow, with this "outstanding" performance, Comrade Su Ning was about to surpass Ye Cheng and become the "Top Contributor" in his system.

How could such a good "Cashback Tool Person" turn into a simple "male-female relationship" because of a momentary impulse?

At the very least, before he could "conquer" Coach Lin, who was in a dazed state next to him, he really couldn't easily take the meat that was already at his lips—Su Ning.

He had to keep her hanging, let her maintain her "striving" state.

"Little Su, you're emotionally unstable right now, saying things in anger. Although I, Jiang Ye, am not a gentleman, I'm also not a scoundrel who takes advantage of others. Don't bring this up again in the future. Calm down."

"!!!"

Lin Wanxing stared at Jiang Ye in astonishment, as if truly getting to know this man for the first time.

Faced with a young, beautiful, and actively throwing herself at him girl like Su Ning, not to mention men, even she sometimes found Su Ning's cute and lively demeanor heartwarming.

But this guy... this guy, could actually stay rational in the face of such temptation and firmly refuse?

Could it be... she had misunderstood him all along?

All that flirtatious talk and wandering eyes were just superficial. At his core, was he actually a gentleman with principles, unmoved by temptation?

Had she been avoiding him like a thief every day, not even daring to do yoga in the living room? Was that a bit... too narrow-minded?

"Fine, fine!"

Hearing Jiang Ye's righteous and stern refusal, Su Ning became even angrier: "What? You want to go against a girl's will?"

"..."

Black lines instantly appeared on Jiang Ye's forehead.

Seeing that her verbal attack was ineffective, Su Ning steeled herself, shook off Lin Wanxing's hand, walked a few steps to Jiang Ye, gritted her teeth, and under their astonished gazes, directly lifted her leg and straddled Jiang Ye's thigh:

"Brother! Is it fun to mess with me? Making me guess every day?! Let's keep it simple, direct, get on the highway, okay? I promise I won't cry or make a scene!"

Jiang Ye stiffened from this sudden "attack." The girl's warm body pressed against him, and a scent mixed with fresh body fragrance, faint sweat, and a unique astringent quality drifted into his nostrils.

This smell was different from the usual perfume or the scent of shower gel after a bath—more real, more... enticing.

Damn... these days, trying to earn some money is really hard... He sighed helplessly, reached out to support Su Ning's buttocks, exerted a little force, and directly lifted her from his thigh, placing her on the sofa beside him:

"3 million... Happy Beans."

"...?"

Su Ning, who was gritting her teeth and preparing to continue her "attack," was stunned: "What Happy Beans..."

She blinked, looked at Jiang Ye's expression of "don't you understand?" then turned to look at the bewildered Lin Wanxing, and suddenly caught on:

"3 million?! Right now?"

Jiang Ye grunted impatiently: "I'll give you 3 million Happy Beans, or you pack up and leave right now. Choose one."

Su Ning, who had been seemingly casually but firmly squeezed by the man, blushed even more. But hearing the options of "3 million" and "leave," she slumped on the sofa and fell silent.

300,000 yuan... 150,000 commission... This bastard... Lin Wanxing stood to the side, looking at Jiang Ye, who had instantly transformed into a "moral paragon," with admiration.

Working in a gym environment, she had seen plenty of men casting lingering, lustful glances at female clients and even female coaches.

But this man in front of her seemed truly different from them.

He usually appeared more frivolous, more shameless, but at critical moments, he could hold a line—a line that was hard to decipher.

She turned to Su Ning, her tone softening a bit: "Little Su, look, Jiang Ye he... Huh?"

Su Ning's expression suddenly calmed down at a visible speed.

She slowly sat up, straightened her slightly disheveled pajamas, stretched lazily, and her tone became unusually normal, even a bit languid:

"Sister Wanxing, I'm hungry."

Lin Wanxing: "???"

What's going on?

Her condition suddenly stabilized? Didn't see her take any medicine. Because of those 3 million Happy Beans?

She "oh"-ed, stood up blankly, took two steps toward the kitchen, then couldn't help but look back at Su Ning, who appeared normal, and asked uncertainly:

"Little Su, you... are you really okay?"

"I'm fine, fine! Just really hungry!"

Su Ning rubbed her stomach, her tone firm: "Can you cook me a bowl of noodles? With a poached egg!"

Lin Wanxing blinked, feeling her brain couldn't keep up with the sudden shift, so she just agreed and turned to go into the kitchen to cook noodles.

"..."

Jiang Ye looked at Su Ning, who had instantly "returned to normal," and also felt relieved.

He shook his head, about to turn and go back to his room for some peace, when a light, somewhat provocative hum came from behind:

"Hmph~! Eight o'clock!"

Jiang Ye paused, glanced at Su Ning on the sofa, who looked normal and even a bit smug, and for a moment couldn't tell which layer this woman was on now.

The tug-of-war between them seemed to have entered a mysterious realm, both playing at a high level, feeling a bit numb.

But... heh, provocation, interesting... He raised an eyebrow, snorted, turned, and walked back to the sofa where Su Ning was sitting.

Su Ning looked at Jiang Ye, who had returned, puzzled. Before she could ask, Jiang Ye suddenly leaned down, one hand on the back of the sofa, the other lifting her chin. Under Su Ning's surprised gaze, he directly lowered his head and kissed her.

"Mmph!"

Su Ning was startled, instinctively reaching out to push him away, but her hand stopped halfway, hesitated, and finally responded stiffly and awkwardly.

Jiang Ye savored the softness and inexperience of the girl's lips. After a while, he reluctantly let go.

Looking at Su Ning, whose cheeks were flushed, eyes dazed, and breathing slightly heavily, he chuckled softly, then casually gave her a few not-too-light, not-too-heavy squeezes, taking full advantage before finally releasing her.

"You... what are you..."

"How does Brother's kiss taste?"

"..."

Su Ning naturally knew what he meant, stomped her foot angrily, but couldn't say anything.

Jiang Ye looked at her angry yet helpless expression, smiled, and leaned close to her ear:

"I don't lock my door at night... If you really want to give it to 'Brother,' just come over directly."

"'Brother'? Dream on!"

Su Ning snorted, lifted her head, suddenly showing a bit of the tsundere attitude from their first meeting: "I only give it to Brother Ye! Don't think you can get it for free!"

"What a coincidence, that's exactly what I mean."

Jiang Ye clicked his tongue, meaningfully saying: "You... also don't think you can get it for free."

Su Ning was stunned, then realized he meant they had to continue maintaining the "Online Yaoyao - Offline Little Su" game rules. She stomped her foot angrily but could do nothing, only glaring at him fiercely.
