17: Chapter 17 Lin Xiaojin Has No Way to Escape

Qin Ge said generously to Lin Xiaojin, "Pick any set you like."

Lin Xiaojin blushed shyly and said with difficulty, "President Qin, can I choose not to pick one?"

All these clothes combined...

...don't even have as much fabric as the outfit she's currently wearing.

How can I wear this?

With a smile on his lips and a flirtatious glint in his eyes, Qin Ge said playfully, "Lin Xiaojin, you wouldn't want anyone to find out about you being a thief, would you?"

Lin Xiaojin pursed her lips and picked the investigator outfit with the most fabric. "I'll choose this one."

Qin Ge nodded. "JK sailor suit with white silk stockings. You can go change now."

Lin Xiaojin retorted, "President Qin, I chose that black leather outfit."

"I know," Qin Ge emphasized. "Wear the one I chose for you."

Aaaaaah!!!

Lin Xiaojin was about to have a breakdown!

What happened to letting her choose for herself?

In the end, he didn't listen to her opinion at all.

Then why even let her choose in the first place!

Although annoyed, Lin Xiaojin didn't dare to argue.

Under Qin Ge's urging, she reluctantly carried the scraps of fabric to the room next door to change.

A full fifteen minutes later, Lin Xiaojin walked timidly into Qin Ge's bedroom, her arms crossed over her chest.

Under the bright lights, Lin Xiaojin looked exceptionally pure and lively in the blue and white sailor suit.

The pair of pure white silk stockings added a touch of fullness to her slender calves.

Coupled with that flawless "first love" face that wore no makeup...

...even Qin Ge, with his extremely high standards, couldn't help but give her a mental thumbs up.

Qin Ge kept a straight face and looked at the 'hunched over' Lin Xiaojin, saying annoyedly, "Your chest is bulging and your hands are covering it up. What are you hiding? Stealing things again?"

Lin Xiaojin's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment as she retorted, which was rare for her, "I didn't steal anything!"

Qin Ge snorted in disbelief. "Considering this isn't your first offense, come over here and let me check."

Lin Xiaojin nervously hugged her chest even tighter, gritted her teeth, and said in shame and anger, "President Qin, if you keep bullying me, I'm leaving!"

Qin Ge rolled his eyes irritably. "It's just a joke."

"We're all acquaintances here."

"Can't you even take a joke?"

Lin Xiaojin didn't answer.

She didn't think President Qin was joking at all.

As long as she stepped forward...

...she was certain President Qin would definitely put his hands on her.

She was sure that when she was caught at the company before, President Qin had also done it on purpose.

He was just taking advantage of her!

"Just go straight to the back-stepping massage."

Qin Ge stopped teasing Lin Xiaojin, rolled over, and lay prone on the bed.

Lin Xiaojin dutifully began performing the "rehabilitative physiotherapy" massage for Qin Ge.

This was the only skill she had, and she had even learned it by watching others secretly.

After a while, Qin Ge took the initiative to break the silence. "Are you free tomorrow night?"

Sensing Qin Ge was up to no good, Lin Xiaojin quickly shook her head. "No, I have other things to do."

Qin Ge smiled and said, "Overtime tomorrow night."

Lin Xiaojin pursed her lips aggrievedly.

Her small feet pressed down harder and harder, venting her indignation.

It was as if she wanted to stomp Qin Ge to death.

But she couldn't win against him.

With a single sentence about overtime tomorrow night, her excuse was instantly blown away.

Qin Ge reached back and patted Lin Xiaojin's silk-clad calf, reminding her, "Dress up nicely tomorrow night."

"Forget it, I doubt you have any suitable clothes. I'll take you to buy a couple of outfits tomorrow. You're coming with me to an engagement banquet."

At this engagement banquet, the bride-to-be was a Daughter of Destiny among the experts from the mountains.

And she was also the daughter of Yunhai City's richest man.

Most importantly, this engagement banquet...

...was also the scene where the Child of Destiny Chen Yuan would make his debut.

With so many Children of Destiny and Daughters of Destiny gathered together...

...if he, the Great Villain who messes with people's minds, didn't go...

...wouldn't he be wasting a massive amount of villain points that were about to come his way?

Lin Xiaojin grumbled reluctantly, "Why does it have to be me?"

"President Qin, shouldn't you be taking President Jiang to this kind of event?"

Qin Ge said indifferently, "Logically speaking, that's how it should be. However, Jiang Yingxue and I have already broken up."

Lin Xiaojin stomped twice on Qin Ge's buttocks with force. "But President Qin, I really don't want to go."

"Your previous companion was always President Jiang. If I go out with you, I'll embarrass you."

Qin Ge pretended to roll over reflexively, causing Lin Xiaojin, who was stepping on his buttocks, to lose her footing.

Thump—

Accompanied by a dull thud.

Lin Xiaojin's bottom landed heavily on Qin Ge's lower abdomen.

Whoosh—!

Two clouds of crimson instantly bloomed on Lin Xiaojin's fair and delicate face.

She hurriedly tried to get up to escape this suggestive posture.

However, Qin Ge firmly grabbed her arms.

His two large hands were like iron pincers, pinning her down so she couldn't move an inch.

Qin Ge gazed intently at Lin Xiaojin's shifting eyes and asked curiously, "Do you think you can't compare to Jiang Yingxue?"

Lin Xiaojin's watery eyes darted around, not daring to meet Qin Ge's gaze, as she nodded vigorously in response. "That's for sure."

"President Jiang is yunhai citys number one beauty."

"Her suitors could form a line from the center of Yunhai City all the way to the Capital. I'm just an intern; how could I possibly compare to President Jiang?"

Qin Ge cupped Lin Xiaojin's fair face with both hands, his gaze filled with sincerity. "But in my eyes, you are better and more beautiful than Jiang Yingxue."

Thump-thump! Thump-thump!

Sitting on Qin Ge's lower abdomen, Lin Xiaojin didn't know if it was because the posture was too intimate...

...or because Qin Ge's words were too embarrassing.

She was so nervous she could hear her own heart racing.

It pounded in her ears like a rapid drumbeat.

Qin Ge gave Lin Xiaojin no time to think at all, flipping over and pinning her firmly beneath him.

A soulful gaze.

Qin Ge could switch to it seamlessly in a second.

This kind of thing didn't require any help from the System.

It was an Acquired skill he had developed himself, and it had already reached perfection.

He just stared intently into Lin Xiaojin's panicked, darting watery eyes, then slowly leaned in and closed his own eyes.

His speed was very slow.

So slow that even a turtle could have dodged it.

Even so, when Qin Ge's lips descended, they still kissed Lin Xiaojin's cheek.

Lin Xiaojin kept swallowing hard.

It wasn't until Qin Ge's lips moved away that she began to struggle violently.

With half her face pressed against the bed, she cried out in resistance, "President Qin, don't do this! If you keep this up, I'll scream for help!"

Qin Ge's deep eyes were full of bitterness as he asked, "Did I scare you?"

He released Lin Xiaojin's slender arms and slowly stood up.

Looking at Lin Xiaojin as she sat up to straighten her sailor suit, his smile became increasingly strained. "It's getting late. I'll have Qiao Yingzi take you home."

Lin Xiaojin looked at Qin Ge's lonely expression.

Subconsciously, she actually wanted to say something to comfort him or explain.

But the words died in her throat, and she just nodded silently with a soft "Mhm."

Phew—!

Qin Ge let out a heavy breath of clear Qi and called Qiao Yingzi to take Lin Xiaojin home.

The moment Lin Xiaojin left the bedroom, the soulful look in Qin Ge's eyes vanished instantly.

It was replaced by a wicked, charming smirk that was uniquely his.

He had just been testing the waters.

He hadn't expected that their time together over the past few days would change Lin Xiaojin's perception of him so significantly.

In the past, if he had dared to be so frivolous...

...let alone kissing Lin Xiaojin's cheek...

...she would have gouged his eyes out or kicked him in the crotch.

And that would have been her being gentle.

But now, he had actually kissed her.

Perhaps even Lin Xiaojin herself didn't realize that she had already fallen into a pure love game he had meticulously designed.

Of course, right now it was just an impulsive rush of ambiguity.

Once Lin Xiaojin came to her senses, she would quickly break free from that impulsive rush.

But would he, Qin Ge, give Lin Xiaojin such an opportunity?

"Divine Ability: Flesh to White Bone?"

"Lin Xiaojin?"

"As an adult, I want it all!"

Qin Ge clenched his fist greedily, the smile on his lips becoming increasingly wicked and noble.

Lin Xiaojin, she's trying to escape?

She can't escape even with wings!
