146: Chapter 146 A Twisted Fate

"I'm sorry! I didn't know you were changing clothes here, Brother!"

Sun Yingxue covered her eyes with her hands instead of turning around to close the door and leave immediately, appearing just like a flustered young girl.

Her sudden intrusion left Zhao Xiaoshuai slightly stunned, but given the thickness of his skin these days, he naturally didn't mind.

Never mind that he was still wearing a pair of boxers; even if he were stark naked, he wouldn't care. He might even deliberately puff out his chest.

After all, she was a beauty he had marked for conquest; they would be family soon enough.

However, looking at Sun Yingxue's innocent, young-girl demeanor, if not for the blessing of his Cheat Dad's Insightful Eye, he might have truly been fooled by her.

She was good material for an actress.

A young girl with this kind of persona generally stirs two types of desires in men: one is the desire to protect, and the other is the desire to bully her a little.

Zhao Xiaoshuai simply stopped what he was doing and turned to walk towards her; he wanted to see just how far this girl could act.

Sun Yingxue didn't hear the expected response of surprise, embarrassment, or shyness. The other party didn't say a word, but instead walked towards her step by step.

"What is he trying to do?"

As Zhao Xiaoshuai got closer and closer, she started to panic.

What she wanted was tension, ambiguity, and control, not to be forced into submission.

Sun Yingxue knew the principle that the easier something is obtained, the less it is cherished.

She would never let herself appear easy or cheap. There had to be obstacles, a tug-of-war, and only then would they become lovers—that was the perfect script.

Only then would her future be truly guaranteed, and she wouldn't end up with nothing like her mother.

"Brother, I really didn't mean to. Have, have you finished changing? Can I open my eyes now?"

She continued to maintain her persona, already prepared. If he really tried to take liberties with her now, she would forcefully push him away, run outside first, and then reconsider her strategy.

Sun Yingxue knew the door was right behind her; she wasn't just standing there dazed—she had subconsciously already left herself an escape route.

If things developed this way, while the difficulty of salvaging the situation later would be greater, it was still much better than being an easy girl.

As everyone knew, the fate of an easy girl was just to be discarded once played out.

However, the touch she imagined didn't come; instead, she heard a "click."

The door had been closed.

Sun Yingxue's heart sank.

'Could it be that all his gentlemanly manners were fake, and he's actually a scumbag pervert?'

'Is he not afraid of me calling the police afterward?'

'To prevent me from calling the police, what kind of compensation would he offer?'

'No, I can't accept any compensation! My virginity is my ticket to marrying into a wealthy family; I absolutely cannot lose my best card!'

Just as Sun Yingxue's imagination was running wild and she was about to scream for help regardless of the consequences, Zhao Xiaoshuai's voice, carrying a hint of complaint, reached her ears.

"The terrace door wasn't closed, and a gust of cold wind was blowing in. You didn't even think to close the door when you came in."

Then came the sound of retreating footsteps.

In her astonishment, Sun Yingxue peeked through her fingers.

Zhao Xiaoshuai continued changing his clothes as if no one else was there, seemingly completely unbothered by her "accidental" intrusion.

'Could I have misunderstood everything?'

Having relaxed, Sun Yingxue finally had time to carefully observe Zhao Xiaoshuai as he changed.

'His body is amazing, his abs are so beautiful, and his muscle definition is so manly. He's completely different from the rich old men I imagined. I probably won't meet a more suitable target than him in my entire life!'

'And, he's so big...'

Zhao Xiaoshuai was, of course, doing it on purpose.

With his current keen eyesight, he saw right through Sun Yingxue's tense posture at a glance.

That was why he had stopped in time, avoiding the high-risk probe of accidentally touching her to test her reaction, and instead opted to test her indirectly by closing the door.

The facts proved that she wasn't a very loose girl; at the last moment, she had been prepared to fight for her life.

This made him very satisfied.

Although an easy girl is easy to get with, she's only suitable for a casual fling, not for a girlfriend.

Sun Yingxue had passed the preliminary test and obtained her girlfriend pass.

Sun Yingxue's arms were getting tired from holding them up for so long, but putting them down didn't seem to fit her current persona.

For a moment, it was awkward; she could only continue covering her face with her hands, observing Zhao Xiaoshuai's movements through the gaps in her fingers.

When she saw that Zhao Xiaoshuai had changed into a Louis Vuitton ski suit, besides feeling intense envy, some expectations also arose within her.

'My outfit actually isn't suitable for skiing. Will he take me to buy a set of ski gear? Could it also be Louis Vuitton...'

Noticing that Zhao Xiaoshuai was fully dressed, she quickly closed the gaps between her fingers, continuing to maintain her persona.

Zhao Xiaoshuai found it amusing. With his Multitasking ability, plus his superb eyesight, a mere glance from the corner of his eye was enough to see all of Sun Yingxue's little actions.

He walked over and patted her waist. "Let's go."

The waist is actually a very private area for a girl and shouldn't be touched easily, but Zhao Xiaoshuai, this cheat-user, could see the other party's favorability.

After seeing his luxury mansion, Sun Yingxue's favorability had successfully broken through 200, reaching 203 (Favorability).

Therefore, regarding his slightly "over the line" behavior, Sun Yingxue didn't have much resistance and just took the opportunity to lower her sore and tired hands.

"Brother, you're dressed. I'm really sorry for disturbing you while you were changing earlier. You look so handsome in this outfit! Where did you buy it?"

"It's not a big brand for skiing. A friend of a friend once said that for skiing, you have to buy Burton; mine isn't great."

Sun Yingxue couldn't tell for a moment whether Zhao Xiaoshuai was bragging or telling the truth.

LV really wasn't specialized in ski gear. If you were talking about comfort and professionalism, maybe Burton really was better.

But that was LV! That was a set of ski gear worth around a hundred thousand! How could they be the same!

What made her slightly disappointed was that perhaps Zhao Xiaoshuai hadn't noticed that her outfit wasn't suitable for skiing, as he didn't take her shopping.

When they arrived at the ski resort, he only helped her rent a set of gear.

Although it was already a weekday and the time for the best snow quality had passed.

But in the ski resort, there were still plenty of people with money and time, catching the tail end of winter to go skiing.

The two of them only practiced some simple movements on the flat ground to the side.

For one thing, Zhao Xiaoshuai himself wasn't an expert, and for another, Sun Yingxue's outfit was indeed not suitable for falling down.

Her shivering appearance even made Zhao Xiaoshuai feel a bit reluctant to continue playing, making him want to take her back.

Girls nowadays really try hard to look beautiful even if it means freezing.

Although the two often held hands for instruction, both were wearing thick gloves, so there really wasn't much intimacy.

Just then, a woman suddenly skied over from afar and, right in front of Zhao Xiaoshuai, said loudly to Sun Yingxue:

"He's just playing with your feelings!"

"The last time he came here, it was with another woman. I know for a fact he has at least two other women, and none of them are any worse than you!"

"He's just a playboy scumbag who cheats on multiple people!"

"Open your eyes and see clearly!"
