CHAPTER 780: CHAPTER 780

Upon hearing this, Qi Yujiao was stunned.

How did this guy know? How did he know what she was thinking?

Did someone tell him?

Impossible. She had never spoken of this matter to anyone; even if someone wanted to tell him, it would be impossible.

Being the daughter of the prestigious Qi family, Qi Yujiao had received the strictest upbringing since childhood, never allowed any contact with boys, let alone a romance.

Living in such an oppressive environment, she deeply longed for liberation, wished to rebel just once, but she dared not; she simply could not afford to do so.

Even if she dared, no man had the courage to approach her.

Her father, Qi Tianlin, was a domineering man. He had made it clear, no one was allowed to pursue his daughter, or he would break their legs.

Her father was the billionaire owner of Xiaoyun Group, wielding immense assets and powerful influence. In Wangdong Province, even the City Secretary had to show him some respect, not to mention the leading wealthy Mo Family would not dare to offend him lightly.

Who dared to disobey his words?

The more suppressed she felt, the more Qi Yujiao wanted to rebel, so she used herself as a model and painted a nude portrait to exhibit.

Some people around her knew about it, like her personal female bodyguard.

But the deepest thoughts in her heart, she had never shared with anyone; they were always buried inside her.

That was, if a man bought that painting, she would offer her purity to that man, allowing him to be the first man in her life.

"Hmph, father is always preventing me from even having contact with men, forcing me to live like a nun, well, I won’t, I will just give my purity to any man randomly."

Once such a radical thought surfaced, Qi Yujiao couldn’t suppress it anymore.

The man in front of her, the one who bought the painting, how did he guess her thoughts? Could he be some kind of leech inside her stomach?

Suddenly, Qi Yujiao felt as if Xu Qianli had stripped her naked; he saw through her as if she had no secrets left, unbearable to mention, so she quickly pushed him away.

"Okay, stop teasing me now, tell me how did you know what I was thinking?"

How did this guy know? How could he have known, could he perhaps be a deity, capable of predictions?

Xu Qianli smirked as he spoke.

"Your thoughts, are they that hard to guess? The moment I saw the painting, I knew the woman depicted was very young and living in a highly oppressive environment. She dares to be nude yet covers her face with a veil, indicating she doesn’t want to reveal her true identity."

"The painting is also a new work; this person must be real, definitely a living person posing as the model. A woman reluctant to reveal her identity and living in oppression must have a tough temperament. Coincidentally, a woman stopped me from buying the painting and quarreled with me, suggesting some connection between her and the painting."

"Now, you appear before me, acting so fierce, so I concluded it is you. As for guessing that buying the painting could get me you, that was purely a guess, but it turned out I guessed right."

"Beauty, since I bought the painting, you belong to me, I won’t be polite."

Licking his lips, Xu Qianli let out a wicked laugh and stepped forward, kissing Qi Yujiao again.

"Don’t!" Qi Yujiao quickly blocked Xu Qianli with her little hand. "Don’t touch me with the mouth you just used to kiss some other skanky woman, you can’t!"

"How do you know I’ve been with another woman?" Xu Qianli said.

"Do I even need to ask? Your whole body reeks of women’s perfume, it’s so strong. As if you haven’t been with anyone. Hmph, get away from me, don’t touch me. I thought about giving my purity to whoever bought my painting, but I never expected the buyer to be a lech like you. I’m not interested in giving myself to you."

"Go away, get lost, let go of me, don’t you dare touch me, and definitely do not touch me!"

Qi Yujiao used her hands and feet to push Xu Qianli back and then curled up on the sofa, hugging her legs and staring fiercely at Xu Qianli.

This man was so bad, oneself a little woman who had never been touched by a man before, encountering him felt just like a little lamb falling into the mouth of a big bad wolf.

No, she must be careful, or she might just get eaten by him without realizing it.

Qi Yujiao was on guard, fearing that Xu Qianli might disregard everything and pounce on her; suddenly, Xu Qianli shrugged, sat to the side, took out a cigarette, and started smoking.

Just smoking there, looking at Qi Yujiao’s face full of wariness, Xu Qianli said nothing. Finally, he stubbed out the cigarette, stood up, and walked away.

"Hey, why are you leaving?"

Qi Yujiao was appalled and hurriedly called out to Xu Qianli.

She was still guarding against him, afraid he would come over and take advantage of her, disregarding everything and taking her purity.

And there he was, not only did he show no intention of making a move, he just smoked a cigarette and then took off. What’s the meaning of this?

Xu Qianli acted as if he hadn’t heard Qi Yujiao’s words. He kept walking and quickly reached the door, ready to leave.

"You stop right there. If you’re a man, you stop!"

Qi Yujiao was frantic, jumped off the sofa, sprinted after him, and firmly grabbed Xu Qianli.

"Don’t go, what are you trying to do? First you want to have me, now you want to run away, what exactly do you want?"

"Let me tell you, Qi Yujiao’s lips aren’t for just anyone to kiss, and you’ve touched my leg, making me feel all weird and uncomfortable. You’ve taken way too much advantage; you think you can just hit and run?"

"Leaving is fine, but first you must give me an explanation. As a grown man, you owe me that!"

Fuming, Qi Yujiao blocked Xu Qianli and wouldn’t allow him to just run away.

This bastard, buying her painting had already made her mad, and just now he forcibly took her first kiss, held her, touched her, taking all advantage. How could he just wipe his hands clean and leave?

Hmph, dream on!

My advantage isn’t that easy to take. You must make it clear!

Facing the furious Qi Yujiao, Xu Qianli was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, taking her by the shoulders. "I mean, beautiful, wasn’t it you who didn’t want me touching you? You were the one saying I wasn’t worthy of you, not worthy of your purity. Since I’m not worthy, I might as well leave. But you, still not letting it go, is it necessary?"

"Yes, it was me who asked you to leave, me who told you to get lost. But you’re a grown man, just giving up after one rejection, are you still a man? Aren’t men supposed to be persistent, face difficulties head-on, and overcome obstacles, never resting until they achieve their goals? You, running away after just one rejection, do you even count as a man? Hmph, with this attitude, I really despise you!"

As soon as she spoke, Qi Yujiao suddenly felt something was off.

Damn, didn’t my words just now sound like I was encouraging Xu Qianli to make a move on me? That’s just shameless.
