Chapter 172 Startled

By the roadside, at some unknown time, Li Ya, who had been sitting in the Santana, got out and walked towards them.

Chen Zhibin’s eyes were fixed on Li Ya as she approached, not moving at all, his gaze filled with astonishment and lust.

He seemed to have not expected such a beautiful woman to be in such a backward small county town!

Li Ya’s beauty was well known. At twenty-six this year, she was in the prime of a woman’s life, exuding an ultimate mature and alluring aura.

Nearly 1.7 meters tall, with a perfectly proportioned figure.

She wore a pair of silver sandals, flesh-colored sheer stockings, and white seven-tenths pants. As she walked, her two straight, slender legs were incredibly eye-catching.

Moving upwards, there was her sexy small waist, a magnificent chest, complementing her exquisite face. Her lips were naturally red, her eyes like ripe peaches, eyebrows like willow leaves, and her black hair cascaded down her shoulders. Every smile and glance made many men’s hormones surge.

Even Qin Chuan sometimes marveled at such beauty. It seemed that since falling in love and being nourished by affection, Li Ya had become even more beautiful, radiating an unparalleled mature charm from the inside out.

Every slight allure from her would make Qin Chuan lose control and turn into a beast.

Wherever Li Ya appeared, she would inevitably become the center of attention, especially from men. Qin Chuan was sometimes helpless about this reality; he couldn’t exactly stop people from looking.

Or perhaps hide Li Ya away, like a treasure in a golden nest.

After all, Li Ya was a factory director, a position that inherently meant she couldn’t just stay at home being a housewife.

However, the undisguised greed and lust in Chen Zhibin’s eyes went far beyond that of an ordinary passerby. In an instant, Qin Chuan’s initial warmth cooled, replaced by disgust.

No one would feel any fondness for such a lecherous wretch.

He hoped this Chen Zhibin wouldn’t push things too far, otherwise, he wouldn’t be polite.

At this moment, a fragrant breeze wafted over. Li Ya’s tall, perfect figure had reached Qin Chuan’s side. She affectionately hugged his arm, her voice melodious, “Qin Chuan, are they the people from Metta Hao headquarters?”

“Yes, Sister. Let me introduce you. This is Brother Chen, and this is Brother Yang!”

He then introduced Li Ya’s identity, “Brother Chen, Brother Yang, this is Li Ya, my girlfriend!”

“Your sister-in-law is truly beautiful, even more so than the women I’ve met in the provincial capital!” Yang Mansheng praised sincerely.

Chen Zhibin, who had been in a daze, finally came back to his senses. Reluctantly, he moved his gaze from Li Ya’s beautiful face and looked towards Qin Chuan.

As a man, Qin Chuan immediately sensed the hint of jealousy and unwillingness deep within Chen Zhibin’s eyes, a surge of sourness.

“Qin Chuan, I didn’t expect you to have such a beautiful girlfriend!”

“You’re quite lucky!”

Chen Zhibin changed his previously indifferent attitude and enthusiastically placed an arm on Qin Chuan’s shoulder.

Qin Chuan shifted his body slightly, shaking off Chen Zhibin’s disgusting arm. His face, however, remained as gentle as jade, smiling as he nodded, “Yes, I think so too!”

“To be honest, Brother Chen, I had to exert tremendous effort to pursue my girlfriend!”

Qin Chuan spoke as if he were showing off, yet also complaining, pouring out a stream of words.

“Her family is too influential. They have connections not only in the police department but also in government agencies, and they run their own factory. Because my girlfriend is so beautiful, her family guards her very strictly; she even has bodyguards when she goes out!”

“Anyone with improper intentions who approached her never ended well. Several were even crippled. I don’t know where I got the courage at the time to approach such a dangerous person!”

“Thinking back now, I still feel a lingering fear…”

As he spoke, Qin Chuan seemed to recall a terrifying experience, his face filled with apprehension as he squeezed Li Ya’s small hand.

Chen Zhibin, standing beside them, stiffened almost imperceptibly. He seemed to be re-evaluating Li Ya, his gaze falling on her beautiful face.

But this time, the greed and lust were gone, replaced by a sense of apprehension.

Just then, Li Ya pinched Qin Chuan’s arm, her expression like a shy young woman.

“What nonsense are you talking about? My… my family isn’t as terrifying as you say!”

Qin Chuan glared, “Your family broke people’s legs, and not just one person. If that’s not terrifying, what is?”

“That… that’s what they deserved. Who told those guys to have lustful intentions towards me? If I don’t hit them, who should I hit!”

Li Ya pouted her rosy lips, looking somewhat cute. Then, as if remembering something, she smiled playfully at Chen Zhibin, “Brother Chen, do you think my family’s actions are right or wrong?”

“Cough cough…”

Chen Zhibin hadn’t expected Li Ya to turn the spotlight on him, and he coughed violently out of shock.

“Brother Chen, are you alright?” Qin Chuan patted Chen Zhibin’s back enthusiastically.

“I’m fine! I’m fine!”

“It’s getting late, where is your place? Let’s go quickly!” Chen Zhibin said quickly after catching his breath.

“Alright, we’ll lead the way, and you follow behind!” Qin Chuan took Li Ya’s hand and walked towards the Santana. Shortly after, the two cars quickly started.

Chen Zhibin, following behind, could never have imagined that the scene inside the Santana had already completely changed.

Li Ya, sitting in the passenger seat, pointed at Qin Chuan, who was driving, and laughed heartily, completely losing her composure.

“You… you’re so wicked!”

“Look how scared he was, as if my family members were all tigers!”

Qin Chuan, while driving, couldn’t help but smile, the curve of his lips subtle.

“He’s so easily scared, such a coward! I even had several ideas to prank him just now, but I didn’t expect him to become like that with just a few words!”

“With such courage, he still dared to stare at my woman so brazenly with bad intentions in his heart. Bah!” Li Ya laughed even more uncontrollably.

“You’re so domineering. He just looked at me, and you pranked him like this!”

“Was it just a look? His eyeballs were about to pop out, his mind full of disgusting thoughts. If I don’t prank him, who should I prank!” Qin Chuan replied matter-of-factly. He understood men’s thoughts too well.

“But, Sister, you’re very smart too. I didn’t guide you at all, and you cooperated so well. It’s like husband and wife singing in harmony!”

“I’ll reward you properly when we get back tonight!” Qin Chuan emphasized the word “reward.”

Li Ya understood, her mind conjuring certain images. A blush rose to her exquisite face, and she playfully punched Qin Chuan, “Hate you!”

“I think the most lecherous and rogue guy in the world is you!”

“At night, you always find ways to torment me…”

Qin Chuan cried out in injustice, “Sister, you must speak with a clear conscience. Was it me who initiated last night?”

“Besides, the previous few times, weren’t you the one who subtly seduced me, deliberately wearing so little and walking around in front of me…”

“Even the first time, I was reverse-pushed by you… *sob*!!”

Before Qin Chuan could say more, a small hand covered his mouth. Li Ya’s pretty face turned red, her large eyes filled with shyness and embarrassment, and she was utterly flustered.

“Don’t say another word!”
