The movie star who had been active on the big screen, hailed countless times by the media as the national goddess, found herself pinning Xu Fan against the wall—indeed, he was very fortunate.

In that moment, going along with her advances, Xu Fan wrapped his arms around Li Qinghe's slender waist, as fragile as a feeble willow, and engaged in a battle of saliva with her.

When dry tinder catches fire, there's no stopping the blaze.

However, what puzzled Li Qinghe was that at the critical moment, Xu Fan settled himself down on the living room sofa, by himself.

"You..."

At this moment, Xu Fan's eyes were crystal clear, without a hint of being clouded by desire, which confused Li Qinghe.

What on earth was this guy trying to do?

"Big star, I kindly brought you home, but you're trying to seduce me, that's not very nice, is it?"

"Xu Fan, what do you mean?"

The Xu Fan in front of her seemed like a different person, and Li Qinghe was unable to reconcile this calm man with the one previously full of urgency.

Her face flushed with shame and anger, she questioned him.

"Don't you want to sleep with me?"

"I really want to sleep with you."

Straightforward questions met with straightforward answers. Xu Fan, leaning back on the sofa, gazed at the disheveled Li Qinghe and said with a smirk, "However, there's an old saying, 'In the arms of a beauty, heroes find their tombs,' and I always keep that in mind."

Seeing Xu Fan's direct gaze, Li Qinghe looked down, not daring to meet his eyes.

After a pause, she then said, "Xu Fan, you are overthinking this."

"Whether I'm overthinking or not, you know very well."

Xu Fan gave a nonchalant smile and commented, annoying Li Qinghe with his imperturbable demeanor.

She had thought she could manipulate this man at her fingertips, but now it seemed the tables had turned on her.

"Xu Fan, didn't Ke Longxiang harm you before? I am his fiancée now. By making him a cuckold, aren't you tempted?"

Seeing Li Qinghe persistently tempting him, Xu Fan chuckled and replied, "Not bad, but I wouldn't say I'm tempted. How about you give me a better reason?"

"..."

Her patience would be worn thin by this man eventually, and seeing his composed expression, Li Qinghe gritted her teeth and said, "I am still a virgin."

"That does surprise me a bit."

Finally, this ultimate bargaining chip persuaded the man before her, and Li Qinghe felt relieved. Now shyly glancing at Xu Fan, she said, "Then... let's go to my bedroom."

"No, right here."

Xu Fan showed no desire to get up. Still seated on the sofa, supporting his cheek with one hand, he said, "Take off your clothes."

"You!"

This was not the look one would give a major star; with such a command, Li Qinghe felt as if she was seen as less than a cheap woman available for three hundred bucks a night.

"Xu Fan, have you ever heard the saying, 'To pity the fragrance and cherish the jade'?"

She bit her silver teeth, glaring at Xu Fan with displeasure.

Giving the most important thing she had to such a man, she really didn't understand what she was thinking.

"I'll say this one last time."

Not swayed by her beauty, Xu Fan remained firm, and Li Qinghe's eyes gradually moistened.

With tears in her eyes, she smiled and said, "Fine, I'll listen to you."

She agreed?

He hadn't expected that Li Qinghe would actually agree to his request.

Before Li Qinghe could act, Xu Fan extended his hand and stopped her.

"Li Qinghe, are you sure you want to degrade your own body like this?"

Hearing Xu Fan's words, Li Qinghe trembled all over. Now with wide eyes, she looked at Xu Fan, her resolve wavering.

Xu Fan said, "Li Qinghe, it's not that I don't understand how to 'pity the fragrance and cherish the jade'. It's just you who have been degrading yourself all along."

"Do you think, by using me to ruin your own innocence and then breaking off your engagement with Ke Longxiang, you will be able to live happily?"

"Such an act is nothing but jumping into another abyss."

Li Qinghe was indeed a smart woman, at least smart enough to use her biggest bargaining chip.

Xu Fan was well aware that if he took her that night, the news would be out by the next day.

By then, he would become a target for public criticism, while she, Li Qinghe, could use the incident to smoothly break off her engagement with Ke Longxiang.

Such a self-destructive Seven Injuries Fist, without even considering the consequences it would bring him, Xu Fan thought it was not worth it for Li Qinghe.

"Why… why are you telling me all this…"

Li Qinghe asked, sitting numbly on Xu Fan's thigh.

At this point, she was completely baffled by what the man before her was thinking.

Indeed, he had guessed her thoughts completely.

That was exactly her plan, and as for Xu Fan, who would take her virginity, Li Qinghe was well aware that someone would naturally make him disappear from this world without her having to lift a finger.

By then, she would be out of sight and out of mind, thus gaining her freedom.

"Why tell you all this?"

The question was amusing. Xu Fan looked at Li Qinghe and replied, "Maybe because your situation reminds me of someone I know."

"Li Qinghe, if you want to get out of this marriage, consider working with me."

"Work together? How?"

Li Qinghe looked at Xu Fan, puzzled, and asked.

Xu Fan chuckled and explained, "We can use another method, a relatively harmonious one."

"Don't you want to avoid marrying Ke Longxiang? Then help me bring down the Ke Family, and the engagement will naturally be called off, won't it?"

"Heh heh..."

Hearing Xu Fan's words, Li Qinghe couldn't help laughing.

Firstly, she found Xu Fan's arrogance laughable, and secondly, did he really think she could be of any help?

She didn't have such power.
