He smiled at her with a sly grin

  Huang Guangyao said: "You've already been beaten once, don't let there be a second time! At that time, I won't know, or even if I do know, I'll pretend not to!"

  "Brother, don't! If you're going to abandon me to death, I'll cut ties with you completely!"

  Huang Guangyao said: "Alright, whatever you decide is fine with me. However, I still want to advise you that your romantic affairs are best kept from Cao Fangxin, or else she won't let you off easily!"

  Wang Kaile smiled and stopped talking. He thought of the time when Huang Guangyao saved him from a near-death experience in his senior year: Wang Kaile was deeply in love with a girl and lived together, but he also got close to another girl without hiding it. He told Huang Guangyao, "The special pleasure of being with multiple women is hard to have with just one woman." Huang Guangyao advised him, "If you're on two boats at the same time, your body will easily sway back and forth, and if you keep swaying, won't you fall into the water?" Wang Kaile didn't listen and continued doing his own thing.

  One day, Wang Kai finally enraged his girlfriend. Losing her mind, she made him meet at a corner of the campus in the dead of night and had two men who were hiding there beforehand block his mouth and beat him up fiercely.

  The girl who still had a crush on Wang Kai was only trying to teach him a lesson and didn't mean to put his life in danger. However, the two men she brought with her were so consumed by jealousy that they naturally took their anger out on him. They not only used their feet and fists but also sticks and stones. Later, when Wang Kai lay on the ground bleeding profusely and struggling for breath, the three of them fled in a panic. With his last bit of strength, Wang Kai managed to dial Huang Guangyao's phone number.

  Huang Guangyao rushed Wang Kailai to the school hospital's emergency room at the fastest speed in the shortest time. Wang Kailai narrowly escaped death...

  After being honest for a few years, Wang Kailai's old problem recurred. He couldn't listen to Huang Guangyao's words and didn't accept the lessons of blood, and he was still enjoying the taste of different women there with relish. Although he knew that Huang Guangyao advised him not to do so for his own good, he just couldn't help it. He said to Huang Guangyao: "It's hard to change one's nature, habits become second nature, I'm a born philogynist. Once I get married and have children, I'll definitely reform my past mistakes and start anew!"

  Huang Guang smiled and said, "Since it's 'hard to change', 'hard to move', 'become natural' and 'born with it', how can you change it? There are only two situations where you can change." He continued, "The first is when you lose that ability; the second is when your heart stops beating!"

  Wang Kaile nodded in agreement, saying "Right, absolutely right!" He was clear about everything, but couldn't control his own behavior. He said to Huang Guangyao, "I'm a born romantic, I don't need any aphrodisiacs, strong and healthy, how could I not have that ability? As for heart failure, that's even more unlikely for me. A 28-year-old man, except in unexpected circumstances, can be vigorous for another twenty or thirty years, isn't that normal?"

  Huang Guang saw Wang Kaili's incorrigible nature and no longer said anything to him, only feeling sorry for Cao Fangxin who was infatuated with him. Cao Fangxin wasn't particularly beautiful, but as a civil servant, despite being only 24 years old and not having worked for long, her income was higher than Wang Kaili's. Her feelings for Wang Kaili were genuine. The two had been together for over a year, and the amount of money she spent on him was no small sum. As for Wang Kaili? He was lecherous and couldn't save money. Many times, he even used her money to entertain other women, which was truly excessive!

  Wang Kaile envies Huang Guangyao's pure love, admires it very much, and also finds it unbelievable, thinking that it doesn't make much sense. He believes in drinking wine today and getting drunk today, without worrying about the turmoil of heaven and earth tomorrow.

  Especially after his nephew and middle school classmate died suddenly in a car accident not long ago, he took "timely pleasure" as his motto. He told Huang Guangyao: "Who can know who will not die suddenly? Who can guess how long someone's life is? It's really enjoyable to seize the present day! You look better than me, you have more money than me, and your charm with women far exceeds mine. If you can live like half or a quarter of my life, you would have enjoyed extremely wonderful fun that cannot be described in any language!"

  Wang Kaile also said to Huang Guangyao very specifically: "Like Bai Mengmeng, Xiangrikui Jinhuiying that kind of woman, why can't you be intimate with them? Being intimate on the bed is the best and most realistic way to be intimate!"

  This was said before Huang Guangyao saved Ma Lili.

  Although Huang Guangyao did not dare to agree with Wang Kailai's approach and would not imitate it, it does not mean that he dislikes women. He is very clear in his heart that he has been interested in good-looking women since childhood, and now still is. Only, his fondness for women is different from Wang Kailai's. He puts emotions first and sex after emotions. Emotions and sex should be combined into one, they are the result of natural development, like a ripe melon falling off the vine. More importantly, Huang Guangyao likes women in order to give his feelings a home: he and the woman he loves will walk together into the sacred temple of marriage.

  Now, Huang Guangyao is ready to speed up his pace and choose the woman he loves most among several women he likes.

  Huang Guangyao left a heart eye, and didn't tell Wang Kaili about Ma Lili's affairs. Although the two men had different personalities, they rarely hid anything from each other. Wang Kaili had a principle: he would never get involved with women that Huang Guangyao liked or pursued. Could the relationship between classmates and friends who had saved his life be ordinary? He certainly wouldn't do something stupid like that. Huang Guangyao knew about this principle of his, but what if he made a choice between them? Who knows whether Wang Kaili, who was very interested in women and easily got into bed with them, would behave improperly or not?

  When Malili and Huang Guangyao broke up, she couldn't help but take out her phone and ask for his number. She said he had saved her and she couldn't not know a little about the person who had helped her. They agreed to meet in a few days for dinner. Huang Guangyao felt the same way. The two of them chatted and laughed, exchanging contact information and even taking photos with their phones.

  Huang Guangyao didn't want to tell Wang Kailai, who was known for being talkative, about Mari's affair. It wasn't even a done deal yet, so what was the point of saying anything? However, he hadn't expected that Wang Kailai, with his mischievous nature, would sneakily flip through his phone when Huang Guangyao went to the bathroom. And then, he unexpectedly discovered a photo of Mari with her name on it!

  Wang Kaile smiled secretly, thinking to himself: This guy looks decent on the surface, but is he actually a debauchee? Such a beautiful woman, who is she?! Why didn't you show her off to me?!

  After Mary returned to school, she couldn't stop thinking about Huang Guangyao, who had saved her. She was clear that she had fallen in love with him! When she found out that Huang Guangyao had his own business and was doing very well, she became even more infatuated with him. Her idea of leaving the city disappeared after seeing Huang Guangyao. From his eyes, she knew he liked her. And if she wanted to truly enter his life, she must cut off her relationship with the ruthless Shui Quanyuan. A man like that would eventually get into trouble. And Huang Guangyao was an exceptional stock with a bright future and broad prospects. Mary understood that before Shui Quanyuan got into trouble, if he found out that she was still in contact with him while also being involved with another man, the consequences would be severe, even unbearable to think about.

  When Mary was about to show her hand with Shui Quansheng, Shui Quansheng and his accomplices were preparing to make a big deal.

  Shui Quanyuan learned from the internet that in some wealthy villages on the outskirts, people often openly distribute money. In some places, hundreds of millions or even billions of cash are withdrawn from banks and placed in village offices for distribution. Seeing piles of money, Shui Quanyuan's mouth watered. After careful consideration, he asked his loyal followers Zhao Ganquan and Qian Lifen to secretly investigate and find a suitable place to take action.

  The day after being rescued by Huang Guangyao, Ma Lili prepared to tell Shui Quanyuan that she was going out of town for an internship. She thought it would be better to pretend to leave him first and then take the next step, so she could find more time to get in touch with Huang Guangyao. Although Mingzhu City is not big, it shouldn't be too difficult to hide from Shui Quanyuan.

  As soon as they met, Shui Quanyuan said to Ma Lili: "The deposits in the bank are not too much or too little, it's just a matter of how to spend them." He hugged her and kissed her, saying, "Buying an ordinary apartment in a residential area, a car worth over 100,000 yuan, the amount of savings can only be used for a fraction; buying a villa? That's a big difference! So, I want to do a few more deals, let you live in a good house and drive a good car!"

  Mary felt a little moved when she saw Shui Quan Yuan like this. She knew that although he was very cruel, it depended on who he was dealing with. To those who bullied her, to the targets of his robbery, he had always been ruthless. But to her, he had always been good, so good that even now, whenever he saw her, he still looked at her with eyes full of affection, and if he didn't hold her hand, hug her, kiss her, or be passionate with her, it was as if he would feel uncomfortable.

  When the two of them had finished their intimacy and came down from bed to take a bath, then sat on the sofa drinking water, Mali still hardened her heart and said to Shuiquanyuan: "I'm going out of town." Shuiquanyuan was slightly surprised and asked: "Where are you going?"

  "Internship."

  "Am I really ready to go pro?"

  "Of course. What's the point of not going to college?"

  "We can also have an internship in our own Pearl City!"

  "Can it be compared? The conditions for internship and the level of instructor guidance, can they be the same?"

  "Really going?"

  "Really gone."

  "How long will it take?"

  "I don't know, probably several months."

  "I don't want you to go. If I can make these deals successful, do you still need to work for money? You can just stay at home and enjoy good food and drinks every day."

  "I'm not that kind of woman. Even if I had money, I wouldn't want to sit at home and enjoy leisure? Going to work is fulfilling."

  "That makes sense. When shall we go?"

  "Maybe tomorrow?"

  "Three days, and then leave again in a week, okay?"

  "Why?"

  "If these few deals are successful, I'll go with you. From then on, I'll turn over a new leaf and quit. I know you're worried that something will happen to me and have been advising me to stop. But my financial resources are still weak, how can I make a living if I don't do this?"

  "What's wrong with that? With billions of people in the world, how many are making money like you? Others are still living a happy and prosperous life."

  "Can I quit now?"

  "Can I trust you?"

  "Believe it or not!" Shui Quanyuan glared at Ma Lili. This was the first time. Maybe he could see from her expression that she had made up her mind to leave him and couldn't help but get angry.

  It's better this way, Mali thought. If Shuiyuan was really angry with her and didn't want to have anything to do with her, it suited her just fine. A man like that, even if he loved her dearly, she couldn't be with him. When his luck ran out, could he avoid dragging her down with him? The money he made through all sorts of shady means was mostly spent on her. He often took her to stay in high-end hotels and eat at fancy restaurants - wasn't that his money? He paid her tuition fees, bought her designer clothes, helped out her family and whatnot. How much of his money had she spent? Could she even keep track? If she were still entangled with him and he got into trouble, could she avoid being implicated?

  Mary replied to Shui Yuanyuan, "I know you're good to me, very good, especially good! But you also have to think for me! I want to work peacefully, live peacefully, fall in love peacefully, get married and have children peacefully. Can you do that? You've been hiding day and night like a mouse, afraid of sunlight, is this a peaceful life?" As she spoke, tears flowed out...

  His eyes softened as he wiped away her tears, saying: "I like you, I love you! Not only do I want to give you a peaceful life, but also a high-quality life. Can't that be achieved with a lot of money? I don't dare show my face too much because I have blood on my hands. What bloodshed? Wasn't it all for saving you? If I hadn't taken action, if I hadn't been ruthless, could you be safe and sound like now? Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Give me a month, just one month, and once I succeed, I'll not only let go completely, but we can go wherever you want to go! Okay?"

  Mary wiped away her tears, neither saying it was good nor bad. She walked towards the door, resolute. Just as she was about to open the door, Shuiyuan rushed over, tightly hugging her and kissing her eyes, nose tip, and lips, then said: "Lili, wait for my call!"

  Out of the house, down the stairs, Mali walked in the direction of the school. Although it's not close and has several stops along the way, she didn't want to take a bus. She wanted to stroll around the streets and clear her head. It was already past 9 pm. Since getting intimate with Shui Quan Yuan, she had been meeting him almost every night, several times a week. She hadn't told any classmates about living with Shui Quan Yuan, let alone her family members. Her thoughts were too heavy. How could they not be? Living with a man whose hands were stained with blood for over a year required immense willpower and courage. If it weren't for Shui Quan Yuan saving her, how could she have devoted herself to him and almost given him her true feelings?

  To be honest, Mali's feelings for Shui Yuanyuan are not fake. Apart from the element of repaying kindness, his deep meaning to her, his long-term good treatment of her, the infatuation he showed when hugging and kissing her, and the skills that made her dizzy and almost dying in bed, all made her love him uncontrollably and couldn't help herself.

  After a long time and much thought, Malili made up her mind. She couldn't keep in touch with Shui Quanyuan anymore. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable!

  It seems that Mary has had a hobby of strolling around the streets for a long time. Especially after getting to know Shui Quan Yuan, she is more willing to stroll around street by street than before. Sometimes she doesn't buy anything, and wherever it's lively, she goes there. There are two reasons: one is that when she walks around, both men and women like to look at her, with a high rate of turning heads. This is because her figure looks good, her face looks good, her smile is captivating, and her temperament is not common; the second reason is that she likes movement but not stillness, and the more people there are in a place, the more lively the occasion, the more she lingers and forgets to leave. She also knows that as this kind of woman, when strolling around, she has much greater potential danger than ordinary-looking women. Moreover, she almost had an accident once. But can one's personality and hobbies be changed just by saying so? Over time, habits are most easily formed, habits become natural, how can they be changed? If there is danger involved, can it still be called a habit if one stops in their tracks?

  Mary was even grateful for her shopping habits. Otherwise, would she have had two men who made her heart skip a beat? Regardless of what kind of image Waterspring had in her mind, she had enjoyed the warmth and passion that a woman could enjoy from him. She also got a considerable amount of money from him, which allowed her not to work hard like other girls, thinking about part-time jobs every day, exhausting herself to earn some money. She was living a comfortable life, with plenty of money to spare, even enough to support her parents and grandparents. Although she knew that the money came from Waterspring's illegal activities, how many women could resist the temptation of wealth?

  Huang Guangyao's appearance made Mary's heart more turbulent than ever. Before he walked into her life, she had never liked a man as much as she did now, and it wasn't out of gratitude. Compared to Shui Quanyuan, Huang Guangyao was taller, stronger, more handsome, and more elegant. She was deeply attracted to him the moment she saw him. Just now, when she was being intimate with Shui Quanyuan, she couldn't help but feel that the man holding her, kissing her, and being passionate with her was actually Huang Guangyao! This thought made her face burn, yet her heart was also racing with excitement!

  On a warm April evening, before 9:30 PM, the night market on Pedestrian Street was at its most bustling. The shops on the street were brightly lit, with all sorts of goods on display.

  When Mali walked to the night market, she felt hungry. She seemed to have just remembered: she didn't eat at school, and after going to Shuiyuan, she didn't feel hungry. From entering to leaving, the two people almost never stopped being affectionate. Now she really feels her stomach growling. She walked into a small restaurant on the street, just in time for an empty table, and sat down.

  What surprised Mary was that just as she opened her mouth to tell the boss that she wanted a serving of stir-fried noodles, a strange man sat down across from her and smiled at her, saying: "Mary, hello!"
