Wang Yu Bei's thoughts churned a thousand times, but in the end, he simply said, "I will do as you say."
Xing Yuan smiled in satisfaction, "Mm. Then I'll give you a friendly reminder, you're being watched by the police, so you'd better be careful when you go see her. If they discover that a monster like that exists in the world, what do you think they'll do?"
Wang Yu Bei fell silent. Even he, at times, couldn't accept his daughter with tentacles. He had even thought of giving her up completely many times, but considering his efforts over the years and the price he had paid, he couldn't turn back, nor could he. So, he could only walk this path to the very end.
As night fell, Ling Chen Yue stepped into the bar again and unexpectedly encountered someone.
Xing Yuan's eyes curved, and she smiled enchantingly, "Sister, I didn't expect such a coincidence! We meet again. Now, can you be my girlfriend?"
This was, of course, no coincidence. Xing Yuan already knew Ling Chen Yue would come to the bar again, so she waited here like a hunter.
Ling Chen Yue's expression was one of shock. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Nonsense!"
"But I only act nonsensically towards you, Sister!" Xing Yuan continued to smile, instantly linking her arm with Ling Chen Yue's, their fingers intertwined.
Ling Chen Yue struggled slightly but couldn't break free, so she said helplessly, "What exactly do you want? And why are you waiting for me here?"
"I told you! I like you, and I want to be your girlfriend!" Xing Yuan stated firmly.
"But I don't feel anything for you," Ling Chen Yue said, her lips pressed together, looking at Xing Yuan steadily, exuding the aura of a soldier.
Xing Yuan was not intimidated at all. She simply tiptoed and gently kissed Ling Chen Yue's lips, like a light feather, gently stirring Ling Chen Yue's heart.
Ling Chen Yue was stunned. The tips of her ears turned red, her heart pounded like a drum, and she stood rigidly in place, as if she could no longer feel her own body.
"Really, no feelings?" Xing Yuan looked at Ling Chen Yue's unusual reaction with a smile in her eyes.
Ling Chen Yue, relying on years of self-control, forced herself to calm down and silently nodded.
Xing Yuan curved her lips and placed her fingertips on Ling Chen Yue's chest, "Sister~ Saying one thing and meaning another is not a good habit! It tells me you've been moved."
"No! I'm a straight woman, how could I be moved by you! I'm just a little nervous." Ling Chen Yue's reaction was rather like protesting too much.
"Sister isn't telling the truth, you must be punished!"
Xing Yuan wrapped her arms around Ling Chen Yue's neck and kissed her lips, and Ling Chen Yue, for some reason, forgot to push her away.
"Sister, do you still think you haven't been moved?" Xing Yuan asked, breathing heavily, her eyes misted over.
Ling Chen Yue swallowed and looked at Xing Yuan's face, then her gaze drifted down to her lips. They were so soft, she wanted to kiss them.
It's immoral to bully a child, she silently thought.
But her reaction was indeed abnormal!
In over twenty years, when had she ever experienced such strange emotions? Could it be that she had truly been moved?
But she wasn't some playboy, how could she be moved by someone she had only met once? And the other person was a woman, this was too strange!
Ling Chen Yue was kissed twice by Xing Yuan, her mind went blank, and she lost the ability to think rationally.
So she pushed Xing Yuan away, "I think I need some time to calm down."
Xing Yuan looked wronged and innocent, "But you've already kissed me, aren't you going to take responsibility for me?"
Ling Chen Yue was stunned. When did she kiss her, no! But didn't she kiss her first just now? But she hadn't pushed her away, so it should count as her kissing her too.
Ling Chen Yue considered herself a soldier, and soldiers, naturally, should be responsible and absolutely must not do anything that leads to abandonment.
Xing Yuan, before Ling Chen Yue could react, quickly confirmed their relationship, "Since that's the case, from now on we are in a girlfriend-girlfriend relationship, do you agree?"
"I agree," Ling Chen Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with Xing Yuan's words. She wanted to be a responsible woman.
"Then, girlfriend, please guide me!" Xing Yuan said with a smile.
Perhaps Sister didn't truly have feelings for her yet, but she had always been swift in her actions. First, she would confirm the relationship, then use Sister's sense of responsibility to tie them together, and then slowly cultivate their feelings. Otherwise, she feared Sister would run away.
"Mm, mm?" Ling Chen Yue felt something was wrong, but... it seemed there was nothing wrong.
She frowned in annoyance, her eyes filled with confusion.
Xing Yuan didn't give her time to ponder, and said with a smile, "What is Girlfriend doing here?"
Ling Chen Yue remembered her mission and suddenly regained her composure, "I, have something to do."
Ling Chen Yue didn't want to reveal her identity. This newly acquired girlfriend seemed unreliable. What if she accidentally let something slip!
"Does Girlfriend like coming here to play? Don't be shy, I like it too."
Xing Yuan no longer called her "Sister" and directly addressed her as "Girlfriend," trying to help her adapt to this new identity.
"Mm." It was a ready-made excuse, and Ling Chen Yue had no reason not to accept it.
Thinking of something, Ling Chen Yue said softly, "Do you come here often?"
Xing Yuan pulled her to a table nearby and nodded without hesitation, "Of course! I usually like to come here to relax. And the atmosphere here is pretty good. If you're afraid of getting drunk and something happening, you can pay a protection fee to the people on the second floor, and they'll be responsible for your safety."
When Xing Yuan first learned the rules here, she wanted to give the boss a thumbs up. He was truly a business genius, missing no opportunity to make money. There was even a service for escorting people home, and even for helping find suitable dating partners among the attendees. If needed, one could get a card and enjoy long-term services. It was truly comprehensive.
"Then, do you know if there are any secret passages or back doors here?" Ling Chen Yue was very dedicated and never forgot her mission. The two people who came with her yesterday didn't gain much, and the security here was strict. If she could find someone who knew the inside story, it would save a lot of trouble.
For an ordinary person, it would indeed be impossible to know, but Xing Yuan was deliberately giving Ling Chen Yue information. She wanted to use the failure of this business to completely gain Sister's trust.
"Girlfriend wants to know this? I think I know, and I think I don't know. It depends on how Girlfriend performs!" Xing Yuan looked at Ling Chen Yue with sparkling eyes and then tapped her cheek.
