Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Li Xiaoyao sat on the living room sofa, his mind filled entirely with matters concerning cultivators.

From the bathroom came the sporadic sound of water, and the outline of Zhuo Yi's exquisite figure was faintly visible through the frosted glass door.

"Tonight is my last chance, I must seize it."

Zhuo Yi thought to herself, her eyes growing more determined.

Half an hour later, Zhuo Yi emerged from the bathroom, draped in nothing but a thin, gossamer robe, enticingly beautiful.

Zhuo Yi walked into the living room, where Li Xiaoyao was still lost in his own world, not noticing her approach.

It was only when Zhuo Yi came close, a faint scent of young girl wafting into his nose, that Li Xiaoyao looked up.

Upon looking up, Li Xiaoyao saw Zhuo Yi, showing off her long and straight legs, standing in front of him.

Before Li Xiaoyao could react, Zhuo Yi pinched her robe, yanked it open, and revealed a flawless body before him.

Li Xiaoyao was startled, his eyes suddenly wide open as Zhuo Yi bit her lip, her gaze growing even firmer, her hands reaching out to encircle Li Xiaoyao's neck and her lips eagerly pressing forward.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao's hands pressed on her shoulders, lifting her from his body to place her on the sofa, then he stood up and turned his back to her.

Indeed, this abrupt pace made Li Xiaoyao very uncomfortable.

He didn't like such sudden occurrences, preferring to have everything under his control.

"It's getting late, best go to bed early," Li Xiaoyao said, taking a step to leave, but after only a few paces, he heard Zhuo Yi crying behind him.

Li Xiaoyao, who wasn't made of stone after all, turned back and saw Zhuo Yi, naked and curled up on the sofa, and the fire that had just been extinguished in his dantian seemed ready to leap up again.

"Big Brother Li, do you despise me?" Zhuo Yi asked tearfully, her voice brimming with hurt.

Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and said, "I actually really want to, truly."

Zhuo Yi was stunned, her tears hanging on her eyelashes, forgetting to fall.

Li Xiaoyao grinned and said, "I don't know what you see in me, but I'm not as good as you think I am inside your heart."

Zhuo Yi wiped the corner of her eyes, her cheeks flushed as she said, "I don't care, I just like you. These days, as soon as night comes, I think of you, so much that I can't sleep."

Li Xiaoyao sighed, another girl charmed by him.

Li Xiaoyao was proud of his charm, but he couldn't lead girls astray; he had to be honest when it was necessary.

"Zhuo Yi, I have a girlfriend."

"I know, it's Meng Meng."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "Meng Meng is not my first woman; my girlfriend's name is Tang Tiantian, whom you haven't met."

Zhuo Yi was taken aback, having thought that Li Xiaoyao's girlfriend was that well-endowed policewoman Zhu Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyao continued, "Besides Tiantian, I have a few close female friends. If we go by modern views, I'm a scumbag, because I have many women around me. Zhuo Yi, I don't want to hurt you, so even though I really want to now, I have to restrain myself, because once we sleep together, things will get very complicated."

Zhuo Yi suddenly laughed, to Li Xiaoyao's surprise; she wasn't angry or disappointed, instead... she laughed.

"I don't care," Zhuo Yi stood up from the sofa, slowly approached Li Xiaoyao, and looked straight into his eyes—repeating incessantly, "I don't care, I don't care!"

"As long as I have a place in your heart, that's enough for me," Zhuo Yi embraced Li Xiaoyao, whispering.

Li Xiaoyao stroked her hair, saying, "Get some rest early. I'll come see you after I'm done with this busy period."

Zhuo Yi knew that Li Xiaoyao had accepted her. She held him tightly, asking cautiously, "Brother Li, it's so late; are you still going to go back?"

Li Xiaoyao naturally understood what she meant; she wanted him to stay.

But Li Xiaoyao really couldn't stay tonight—first, Jiang Lichun had cooked Demon Beast meat at home, and missing out on that would truly be a loss.

Secondly, he needed to test Zhuo Yi.

Love was something no one could explain clearly. If Zhuo Yi was simply acting on a drunken impulse today, then if he stayed tonight and something happened between them, she would surely regret it when she woke up the next day.

These significant life matters required her to calm down and think it through.

"Zhuo Yi, if you truly want to be my woman, you have to be fully prepared," Li Xiaoyao said sternly, his voice turning cold as he looked at her perfect, delicate body without a hint of physical desire.

"Prepared?" Zhuo Yi blinked, puzzled.

Li Xiaoyao stood up, placed Zhuo Yi on the sofa, and crouched down to say, "I don't know what you like about me. I just want to tell you, no matter how much I give you, it won't be more than what you'll lose."

"You have a beautiful face and an excellent job. You should find a man who's like you, get married, have kids, grow old together, and live through generations in one household—that's what a complete life is."

"Fall in love with me, follow me, maybe it's sweet at the start, but it'll all be bitter later on. Because I can't give you a proper wedding, I can't give you a marriage certificate, I can't take you out in public, I can't give you a home. There are 30 days in a month; I have work, business trips, social obligations, and my wife to accompany—how many days can I spend with you? When that time comes, countless lonely nights alone will continually erode your happiness, make you regret your initial choice, and make you hate me for being heartless."

"It's better for you to hate me now than to hate me then—at least I haven't ruined your life."

"Stop talking…" Zhuo Yi couldn't hold back her sorrow any longer and burst into tears.

While crying, she hit and kicked Li Xiaoyao: "Why are you saying all this? Why do you have to say it like this? Why?"

After the hitting and crying, Zhuo Yi dried her tears and looked at Li Xiaoyao, asking, "After saying so much, what about your girlfriend? What about Meng Meng? And the other women, what about them?"

Li Xiaoyao's brow furrowed slightly. His intention was to make Zhuo Yi see the situation clearly, to let her know that being with him wouldn't mean a normal couple's love life, but sharing him with other women instead.

"They are my women, fundamentally no different from you, but in the end, they came before you. Do you understand? You're different from them; I don't want to ruin you."

Zhuo Yi was taken aback, then her eyes reddened again. She fought back her tears and said, "How is it different? You can only give one woman a proper status; the others won't get any. No matter what you say, all I see is Meng Meng going from an ordinary person to someone with a house and a car, becoming a high-society person. And my life right now—I can see the end from here."

Li Xiaoyao said, "Each person's life cannot be replicated; they can't be compared."

Zhuo Yi smiled slightly, saying, "I never thought of replicating anyone. I just want to live this life without regrets. If that's the 'preparation' you're talking about, then I can tell you right now, I am prepared."

Cornered, Li Xiaoyao finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you a virgin? I only like virgins."

Zhuo Yi was startled, then her gaze became intense, mixed with complexity, as if she wanted to laugh.

Suddenly, Zhuo Yi stretched out her arms, hooked them around Li Xiaoyao's neck, and with her lips exuding fragrance, whispered in his ear, "Want to know if I'm a virgin? I won't tell you; come find out."
