Openly flirting

This kick was fast, ruthless, and delivered from a tricky angle.

If it had been the old Li Wei, he probably would have only been able to dodge clumsily in the face of such a sudden strike.

But now, he was no longer the man he once was.

The upgrade in his Combat Skills had brought about a comprehensive sublimation of his neural reaction speed and dynamic vision.

In Li Wei's eyes, Qin Bing's lightning-fast kick seemed to turn into slow motion, like a scene from a movie.

He even had the leisure to admire it for a moment.

He noted the curve of her firm, perky buttocks beneath her sweatpants, tensed from the exertion.

Just as that delicate foot, encased in a white sneaker, was about to strike him—

Li Wei moved.

His hand was so fast it left only an afterimage, grabbing Qin Bing's ankle with unerring precision.

It felt warm and slender in his grip.

Li Wei had never had the chance to truly feel it before; now, his wish was finally fulfilled.

The expected sharp pain didn't arrive; instead, an irresistible force surged from her ankle.

Qin Bing felt as if her entire world had been turned upside down.

At that moment, the sense of balance she took such pride in failed completely.

"Ah!"

She let out a startled cry, her body falling backward uncontrollably.

Li Wei pulled with the momentum of his arm.

His other hand reached out, directly encircling that soft, slender waist and scooping Qin Bing entirely into his embrace.

Once again, the two were pressed tightly together in an extremely intimate posture.

Qin Bing was supported by his single arm, one beautiful leg raised high and held firmly in his hand in a deeply embarrassing position.

Her other leg, having lost its center of gravity, could only stand weakly on tip-toe, barely maintaining her balance.

"You... let go of me!"

Qin Bing struggled violently, her face so flushed with shame and anger it looked like it might bleed.

"You bastard! It's broad daylight—where are you looking, and what is going on in your head?! Shameless!"

She cursed while using her free hand to pound forcefully on Li Wei's chest.

But to Li Wei, that bit of strength was no different from a tickle.

"Bingbing, you're really wronging me with those words."

Li Wei wore an innocent expression while feeling the soft, elastic body in his arms.

With that beautiful leg he held constantly kicking about, he felt the wicked fire inside him burn even brighter.

"I wasn't planning on looking where I shouldn't."

"But who told you not to dress properly?"

His gaze pointedly fell upon the neckline of Qin Bing's tracksuit, which had fallen open due to her exaggerated movements.

That deep, breathtaking cleavage was exposed right before his eyes without any concealment.

With every struggle she made, that startling expanse of snowy white heaved violently, as if trying to break free from its constraints and leap out.

Qin Bing followed his gaze downward, and her mind went "buzz."

She only then realized—

Even she, a woman, was flushing red to the ears.

She could only imagine how much of a lethal blow this was to a man.

"I... even if that's the case, you can't do this!"

Her brows furrowed tightly as she hurriedly used her other hand to clutch her neckline shut.

"You think I want to be like this?"

Li Wei sighed, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat strange and serious.

"But the problem might be a bit more complicated than we thought."

"I have a theory."

His voice dropped a few notches.

"The Hallucinogen in your body—its mechanism might not be as simple as just stimulating the nerves to produce lust."

"It's more like a... biological genetic imprinting."

"That night, when we... harmonized our Yin and Yang, a portion likely entered my body through the exchange of fluids."

Li Wei solemnly explained the 'Imprinting Effect' in a more scientific way that was easier for Qin Bing to accept.

"So, I might have developed something like an 'Imprinting Effect' toward you now."

"Whenever I'm in close contact with you—especially when I smell your scent or see you... well, see you looking sexy—those residual toxins in my body are rapidly activated."

"Then, I become... particularly overwhelmed with desire, just like a moment ago."

Qin Bing was completely dumbfounded.

Her sharp, phoenix-like eyes were currently wide with disbelief.

Genetic toxins?

Harmonizing Yin and Yang?

Imprinting Effect?

She understood these terms individually.

But combined together and coming out of this man's mouth, how did they sound... so preposterous?

Could he be lying again?

But looking at Li Wei's serious expression and his physical reaction that showed no signs of subsiding—

She actually found herself believing about seventy or eighty percent of it.

"S-so, what you mean is..."

"What I mean is,"

Li Wei interrupted her, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"On days when it's not acting up, you should probably dress more conservatively around me."

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee I'll be able to control myself at all times."

As he spoke, he pointedly glanced at Qin Bing's tightly covered neckline.

"Like right now—hurry up and cover up, or if the stimulation continues, I'm afraid I really won't be able to stop myself from taking you."

Boom!

Qin Bing's mind felt like a bomb had been dropped into it, exploding completely.

In the past—

She would absolutely never tolerate someone speaking such foul language in front of her.

But at this moment—

She couldn't bring herself to be angry.

After all, the reason Li Wei was like this was because of her.

"Then you... put me down!"

Her voice quickly regained its composure.

If she were held by this bastard in such a shameful posture any longer, she would truly go crazy.

Not only would Li Wei be unable to help himself, but even the instincts within her that hadn't yet flared up might be stirred.

"I can put you down."

The corner of Li Wei's mouth curled into an imperceptible arc.

He liked seeing this Little wildcat bristle; he liked even more how she was clearly mortified yet completely helpless against him.

"But you have to promise me first: no more getting physical."

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee I'll be able to catch you this 'gently' next time."

His gaze pointedly swept over that beautifully curved, powerful leg he held in his hand.

Qin Bing's body suddenly stiffened.

She had no doubt that this man would do exactly what he said.

"Fine... I promise you."

She ground out the words through clenched teeth.

"That's a good girl."

Li Wei smiled and finally let go.

However, at the very moment he was about to release her leg, his hot hand seemed to slide accidentally, following her firm calf all the way up and lightly caressing her rounded, perky thigh.

The sensation was like an electric current passing through her.

"Ngh..."

An extremely soft, uncontrollable moan escaped Qin Bing's throat.

Her body instantly went limp, and those always-cold phoenix eyes became clouded with a hazy mist.

When she realized what sound she had just made, her face could no longer be described as just red; it looked as if it were about to spontaneously combust.

Shame!

A level of shame she had never experienced before!

This bastard actually touched her without any reservation.

"Li Wei! You're dead!"

She let out an angry scream, and the leg that had just been set down was about to move again.

However, right at that moment—

A rapid ringing of a cell phone abruptly sounded.

"Ring ring ring—"

Qin Bing's movements came to a sudden halt.

Li Wei pulled his phone from his pocket.

He glanced at the caller ID, and the smile on his face instantly vanished.

It was a call from Zhao Anqi, whom he had put in charge of establishing Black Shield and acquiring the Genetic Pharmaceutical Company.

He made a "shh" gesture toward Qin Bing, his eyes turning serious.

Qin Bing was stunned for a moment.

Her raised leg froze in mid-air; she couldn't decide whether to kick or retract it.

Li Wei ignored her, walking straight to the side and pressing the answer button.

"Hello."

Qin Bing rolled her eyes hard, grumbling in her heart.

As if anyone wants to listen to your phone call!

She retracted her leg and turned, wanting to pull open the door and leave this place that made her feel so incredibly ashamed.

However, just as her hand was about to touch the doorknob,

Li Wei's next words caused all her movements to stop instantly.
