Chapter 137 Pay Me to Beat Me



Chapter 137 Pay Me to Beat Me

After thinking it over, Zhu Tingyue accepted it.

Shen Yingchu's smile had just begun to spread when she stopped when she heard Zhu Tingyue's next words: "Any more? Give me one more."

"Yes, yes, there are more!"

Shen Yingchu then took out an identical red envelope from her pocket and handed it to her.

Zhu Tingyue accepted the red envelope and sincerely said, "Happy New Year!"

Shen Yingchu watched her departing figure, then turned around helplessly to prepare the next red envelope.

Zhu Tingyue took the red envelope and left. Shen Yanqiu was playing on her phone out of boredom when she came out.

"What's wrong? Did he insult you?" Shen Yanqiu asked with concern.

Zhu Tingyue found it amusing that he looked like he was going to settle scores with Shen Yingchu: "How could that be? Everyone loves me, who wouldn't like me?"

Shen Yanqiu stopped getting up, and nodded in agreement with Zhu Tingyue's unpretentious words: "That's true!"

Zhu Tingyue mysteriously put her hands behind her back and demanded of Shen Yanqiu, "Close your eyes, quick!"

"What's wrong?" Shen Yanqiu asked her, but still complied.

There was a rustling sound, followed by Zhu Tingyue's voice: "Alright, open your eyes!"

Shen Yanqiu was shocked by the two large red envelopes in front of her.

"For me?"

He took it, still muttering in disbelief, "It's so thick, you've struck it rich?"

"Tch, you're making a fuss over nothing! When have I ever been poor?"

She said that, but when she actually saw the money in the red envelope, Zhu Tingyue was just as shocked!

Shen Yanqiu counted the bills one by one: "Twenty-five... fifty-three... eighty-eight... one hundred!"

"How many?"

"One hundred!"

Zhu Tingyue had never seen so much cash before; she always used credit cards. So when Shen Yanqiu said there were a hundred bills, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Shen Yanqiu happily opened another red envelope and carefully took out the banknotes inside.

When he saw those brand-new and bright banknotes, his eyes instantly lit up, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

He stared intently at the money in his hand, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face, as bright and radiant as spring flowers in bloom.

His joy was palpable, easily felt from his curved eyebrows and wide grin.

At that moment, he felt as if he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement and exhilaration.

Zhu Tingyue felt heartbroken. It was just ten thousand yuan, why was he so happy?

While counting the money, Shen Yanqiu kept an eye on her and understood what she was thinking at a glance.

He put the money he had counted aside, memorized the number, and said to her, "Don't look down on these 20,000 yuan. Look, even put together, it's such a thick stack!"

Zhu Tingyue took out all her bank cards from her wallet and handed them to Shen Yanqiu: "Look, my cards are quite thick when they're all put together!"

Shen Yanqiu couldn't help but chuckle at her childish behavior: "Come on, let's have a competition!"

Shen Yanqiu had a thick stack of cash, and Zhu Tingyue had a lot of money in her card.

Neither of them could determine who won or lost.

"Zhu Tingyue, if I ever make you angry in the future, you can hit me. It would be best if you paid me to do it. Hit me anywhere on my body, and I'd be happy to!"

Shen Yanqiu spoke with an expectant expression, as if Zhu Tingyue were walking towards him with countless amounts of money.

"Dream on! I won't hit you! I'll cherish and love you!"

Zhu Tingyue brought up the topic of the evening again. Shen Yanqiu looked around at the pitch black surroundings, grew a little bolder, and asked her, "How do you love me?"

Zhu Tingyue realized that Shen Yanqiu had the desire but not the courage to do it.

At home, with his mother watching over him, he didn't dare get any closer to her.

Now that we're out here, he interprets everything we say in that way!

How do you want me to love?

In the darkness, Zhu Tingyue's eyes shone brightly as she deliberately drew out her words, making Shen Yanqiu feel as if something was pounding in her chest, as if it could burst out at any moment.

He swallowed hard and stammered, "Well... whatever you want... whatever you want."

Zhu Tingyue chuckled and pinched his cheek. "I can do whatever I want? Is that okay?"

After saying that, she kissed him on the forehead, and when she heard Shen Yanqiu's breathing gradually become heavier, she asked him again, "Is this okay?"

She kissed Shen Yanqiu's lips, a light touch, awaiting his answer.

As Shen Yanqiu felt the soft touch on his lips, a surge of emotions welled up inside him. It had been so long since he had felt this close, and his anticipation outweighed his shyness.

"Okay, Zhu Tingyue, that's fine! Give me another kiss!"

As he wished, Zhu Tingyue pressed her lips against his again, this time not just a brief touch, but a deeper kiss.

Shen Yanqiu was taken aback at first, then responded enthusiastically.

The surroundings were so quiet that only their disordered breathing could be heard. After a long while, Zhu Tingyue slowly stepped back, and Shen Yanqiu's cheeks flushed.

Seeing his shy expression, Zhu Tingyue couldn't help but lean in and kiss his cheek again.

"Tingyue, I want more!" he said softly.

Zhu Tingyue rolled her eyes at him: "Why didn't you ask for it at home?"

"Mom's watching!"

"Yes, you're the most sensible one! You're my little darling now!" Zhu Tingyue said with a light kiss and a smile as she teased him.

Shen Yanqiu didn't answer, focusing intently on Zhu Tingyue's kiss.

After a long while, he opened his dazed eyes and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why didn't you kiss me?"

Zhu Tingyue was breathing rapidly. Couldn't Shen Yanqiu have picked a better time? Now that she was in the car, how was she supposed to calm the fire inside her?

"Another kiss? If you keep kissing, something bad will happen! Shen Yanqiu, you're too irresistible!"

Since she wouldn't kiss him, he went to kiss her instead. Shen Yanqiu cupped Zhu Tingyue's face and kissed her endlessly, saying smugly, "Thank you for praising me!"

"Oh! Shen Yanqiu, you're really killing me!"

The two hadn't been close for a long time. Zhu Tingyue was in a terrible state. She had only wanted to tease Shen Yanqiu at first, but she never expected that she would be the one suffering now.

Pulling Shen Yanqiu's hand to stop him from continuing his presumptuous behavior, Zhu Tingyue warned, "Shen Yanqiu, don't move, or we won't be able to go home today!"

Shen Yanqiu didn't take it seriously, and even looked forward to it: "If you don't want to reply, then you don't have to!"

"you……!"

Zhu Tingyue had nothing to say to him. Since he was already willing, what was she waiting for?

Shen Yanqiu was now sitting upright, completely devoid of the seductive charm he had shown when he was begging for kisses while leaning on her. His expression was serious: "Drive, to the hotel!"

If someone speaks in a frivolous manner, they're unlikely to be a serious person either!

Zhu Tingyue stepped on the gas and drove to the hotel. Shen Yanqiu was even more anxious than her and got out of the car to take her to the hotel room.

"Wait, Shen Yanqiu, that person just now looked familiar."

As Zhu Tingyue was being pulled along, the figure that flashed past her eyes was all too familiar.

Shen Yanqiu thought she was making an excuse and asked in a harsh tone, "Who is it? Your ex-boyfriend?"
