Faced with the landlady’s initiative to be kissed, Li Qianfan stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do at the moment.
He carefully examined the features of the landlady, her pert nose, the flawless oval face, and her eyes slightly closed—with each breath, her eyelashes would tremble involuntarily.
The sunlight fell on the landlady’s cheeks, giving her skin a crystal-clear appearance, rosy with a hint of white.
For the former Li Qianfan, a beauty of this caliber was an unattainable dream, and yet now, such an exceptional woman was slightly lifting her head, proactively seeking a kiss from him.
Is this a dream??
Li Qianfan quietly pinched his arm, the sharp pain assured him that this was not a dream, but reality.
“Qianfan, what are you doing? Why haven’t you kissed me?”
Hong Jiumei, seeing that Li Qianfan hadn’t moved for a while, opened her eyes to look at him. When she saw him standing there dumbly, she immediately frowned and said, “What, do you think I’m ugly and can’t bring yourself to do it?”
“No, no, no…”
Li Qianfan quickly waved his hands and said, “Landlady, although I can’t see it, I believe you must be a rare beauty, a goddess in my heart who I dare not infringe upon. I’m afraid to kiss you.”
“Giggle giggle giggle!” These words made Hong Jiumei’s eyes twitch with laughter. In the next moment, she wrapped her arms around Li Qianfan’s neck, with a seductive look on her face, “Since that’s the case, let the goddess take the initiative to kiss you, how about that?”
Before Li Qianfan had the chance to react, Hong Jiumei bent down to kiss his lips.
As their lips met, the soft sensation instantly made Li Qianfan’s body shudder, his blood boiling, and he became more excited than he had ever been before. Especially when Hong Jiumei’s tongue pried open his teeth, pushing into his mouth, Li Qianfan was completely dumbfounded, his brain went blank, and he lost all ability to think.
How fragrant!
As their tongues intertwined, a unique fragrance rushed into Li Qianfan’s mouth and nose, and he was utterly captivated by the surging scent, unable to pull himself away.
Is this what kissing feels like?
Li Qianfan wrapped his arms around Hong Jiumei. With no kissing experience, he could only nibble without any technique. Fortunately, the experienced Hong Jiumei, like a teacher, began to patiently guide him.
Feeling Hong Jiumei’s gentle sucking, Li Qianfan started to grasp something and began to imitate her.
Their tongues wildly tangled together, exchanging saliva…
“You bitch, dared to run? Come out here, don’t think you can hide from me, if you don’t come out now, I’ll smash the place up!”
“Hu Li, get your ass out here!”
Just as they were deeply kissing and loath to part, suddenly, a man’s roar came from outside, along with the sounds of kicking tables and chairs.
The unexpected incident changed Hong Jiumei’s complexion; she separated from Li Qianfan, her face filled with rage, “Damn it, that bastard has come looking for Lili again!”
“Landlady, what’s going on?”
Seeing how angry Hong Jiumei was, Li Qianfan knew the situation was certainly not simple.
“Lili’s husband, he’s nothing but a gambler. Usually does nothing, never works a day in his life, and when he’s out of money, he comes here to demand money from Lili… You could say, every month, her salary is gobbled up by his gambling!”
“Now he must have lost all his money again and has come to Lili for more.”
As she talked about this man, Hong Jiumei’s teeth clenched in anger. From the rage in her eyes, one could see she longed to tear Lili’s husband to pieces.
From the landlady’s loss of composure, it was evident that Lili’s husband must have been particularly outrageous, otherwise, the landlady wouldn’t be so upset.
Regarding gamblers, Li Qianfan had no sympathy. His village had once produced a gambler who bet everything away, leaving his family broken and destitute. Eventually, with no money left, he turned to crime and was sentenced to fifteen years!
Originally, he was a good man, filial to his parents, and kind to his wife and child. It was gambling that ruined his bright future.
“You wretched woman, you dared to run, but now I’ve caught you!”
“Liu Yunchuan, I really don’t have any money left. The two thousand yuan on me are for my son’s tuition fees, you can’t take it away!!”
Upon hearing Lili’s miserable cries, a deep look of concern surfaced on Hong Jiumei’s pretty face as she immediately put on her clothes and dashed out of the office.
Without any hesitation, Li Qianfan quickly pulled up his pants and followed close behind Hong Jiumei.
“Smack!!”
As soon as he left the office, Li Qianfan saw Liu Yunchuan harshly slap Lili across her cheek, with the mark of his fingers soon appearing on her fair skin.
The frail Lili collapsed heavily onto the floor, not attempting to get up but instead remained there crying, her desolate sobs echoing through the quiet corridor.
Witnessing this scene, Li Qianfan was burning with rage, while at the same time feeling a tinge of pity for Lili. He knew well that Liu Yunchuan, being over six feet tall and very strong, could deliver a slap not even a grown man could withstand easily.
Let alone the weak Lili!
“You whore, hand over the money now, or I swear I’ll kill you!”
Liu Yunchuan grabbed Lili by the collar, with not a hint of tenderness for his wife in his eyes, only a burning desire for that two thousand yuan.
“Liu Yunchuan, even if you beat me to death today, you’re not getting this two thousand yuan. It’s for our son’s school fees…”
Lili’s eyes brimmed with determination.
“Alright, then today I’ll kill you.”
Liu Yunchuan ruthlessly threw Lili to the ground, raising his fist to continue his assault.
“Stop right there!”
Hong Jiumei finally arrived beside Lili. She positioned herself in front of Lili and said sternly, “Liu Yunchuan, if you dare to hit her again, I’ll call the police right now.”
“Get lost.”
Liu Yunchuan’s eyes were blood-red as he shouted angrily, “This is a family matter, and I’m disciplining my own wife. What’s it to you?”
“This is my shop. You can’t hit people in my shop.”
Hong Jiumei was incredibly firm in her stance.
“Then I’ll beat you too.”
Clearly, Liu Yunchuan had lost all sense of reason, and he swung his fist toward Hong Jiumei.
In that moment, Hong Jiumei was stunned; she didn’t expect Liu Yunchuan would actually hit her. Although he had caused trouble before, he had never been like this.
“Boss, watch out!”
Seeing Hong Jiumei in danger, and acting on instinct, Li Qianfan yanked her behind him and grabbed hold of Liu Yunchuan’s wrist at the same time.
Li Qianfan knew that intervening might reveal the fact that he was feigning blindness, but even so, he chose to intervene.
Even if the pretense of being a blind man was exposed, he couldn’t bear to watch idly as the boss was hit.
“Who are you?”
Liu Yunchuan glared at Li Qianfan and asked with a dark expression.
“Qianfan, you can’t see, you’re no match for him, don’t get involved.”
Seeing Li Qianfan take action, Hong Jiumei tensed up, her eyes filled with worry.
“So, it’s a masseur from this place, huh? Heh, even a blind man dares to provoke me. It seems you don’t want to live, I’ll stab you to death!”
The next moment, Liu Yunchuan pulled out a dagger from his waist pocket, his eyes flashing with malicious intent, and thrust forcefully toward Li Qianfan’s waist.
