Chapter 30

It's not bad. The woman in white was holding the fishing rod that Li Qi had just stuck by the river. However, Li Qi didn't know why the fishing rod had ended up in this woman's hands. The only thing he could be sure of was that he had been toyed with by this young lady. He then stretched out his hand and said irritably, "Quickly return the fishing rod to me."

"Sure, here you go!" The woman in white, seeing Li Qi's anxious look, smiled and handed the fishing rod over.

Li Qi took the fishing rod, caressed it carefully, then glanced at the woman in white with a resentful look and muttered, "Fortunately, you're not too bad-looking, or you might have scared away my fish."

The woman in white, hearing Li Qi's muttering, covered her mouth and laughed lightly, saying, "Since you have no intention of fishing, what use is this fishing rod to you? Could it be that you are imitating Jiang Taigong's fishing by the river?"

Wow! This girl is so smart! No, it must be that I imitated it quite well.

However, even though Li Qi had a thick skin, he didn't dare to directly admit that he was imitating Jiang Taigong. He laughed and asked, "Why do you say that, miss?"

"I just now saw that you left the fishing rod by the river and ignored it, so I picked it up out of curiosity. I found that there was no bait on the hook, and it seemed that you didn't have any bait with you. Fishing without bait, throughout history, only Jiang Taigong did that." The woman in white smiled as she said this.

Sweat! This woman's observational skills are really too strong. It would be a waste if she didn't become a detective. Li Qi touched his head with his right hand and realized that his head was already empty.

Damn! Where's my straw hat?

Li Qi was very angry. He had only brought these two things out, and now they were both gone after he woke up.

Looking around, Li Qi suddenly saw his straw hat under a tree. It must have fallen off while he was sleeping. He quickly went over, picked up the hat, dusted off the dirt, and put it on his head in a very stylish manner. He cleared his throat a few times and laughed, "Miss, I'm just a leisurely person. How dare I compare myself to Jiang Taigong? Jiang Taigong fished for big fish, while I can only catch small shrimp. As for you—," At this point, Li Qi suddenly chuckled dryly.

The woman in white, hearing the first part, vaguely felt that Li Qi's words had a hidden meaning. Suddenly, she heard him mention her and smiled with interest, "Sir, please continue."

Li Qi laughed, "You're so young, why aren't you at home doing embroidery? Why did you come to this secluded place? Could it be to meet your lover?"

The woman in white blushed and huffed, "What does it have to do with you where I come? Don't talk nonsense."

"You're right, you're not my wife, so I can't control where you go or what you do. But," Li Qi's tone changed, and he pouted, "But why did you peek at me while I was sleeping? Although I'm tall, handsome, talented, and cute, I'm also a very conservative man. You doing this makes me feel embarrassed."

A person without a sense of shame is invincible!

The woman in white spat and glared at him fiercely, "I—when did I ever—peek at you?"

Li Qi said in a wronged tone, "Miss, that's not very fair. I didn't ask you to take responsibility, so why are you trying to distance yourself from me so early?"

The woman in white coldly huffed, "I have nothing to do with you. Don't defame my reputation, or I won't be polite."

Li Qi, seeing that she had no weapons and didn't seem to know any martial arts, which made her much weaker than the person surnamed Zhao he had encountered before, wasn't afraid. He cried out, "I defamed your reputation? Miss, where did you get that idea? As the saying goes, catching a thief requires evidence. You peeking at me is one thing, but I just saw you holding my fishing rod. How do you explain that?"

The woman in white argued, "What use do I have for your broken fishing rod? Besides, if I really wanted to steal it, I would have just left. Why would I wake you up?"

"Only you know that. Maybe you were captivated by my handsome appearance, so you didn't steal the fishing rod but instead wanted to steal my heart," Li Qi said shamelessly.

The woman in white's face turned red, and she said in embarrassment, "You—how shameless you are."

Li Qi didn't get angry but laughed, "You stole my fishing rod first, then peeked at me, and now you want to steal my heart. When it comes to 'shamelessness,' I have to admit defeat."

Li Qi's three "steal" words almost made the woman in white faint. She couldn't speak, her cheeks flushed, her lips trembled, and her chest rose and fell, which was very alluring.

Seeing the woman in white so angry that she couldn't speak, Li Qi felt very satisfied. How dare you toy with me, now you know my power.

Since he had vented his anger, Li Qi didn't plan to make things difficult for her. After all, being beautiful is an advantage, especially for men who think with their lower halves. He secretly glanced at the woman in white's chest, indulging in a bit of eye candy, then waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, forget it. You're still young, so I'll let it go. Leave quickly." In his heart, he muttered, "In this remote place, why are you running around? And you look so beautiful, aren't you just inviting trouble?" He looked down at his hands and sighed, "Looks like I'll have to trouble you two 'brothers' again tonight."

The woman in white, though she didn't understand the hidden meaning of Li Qi's words, could tell from his flirtatious gaze that they weren't good. She huffed, "You think you can just let it go? Not so easy. I have a question for you: why are you here now?"

This girl really has a fearless spirit. Could it be that heaven knows I haven't had any fun for a month and is rewarding me? After fantasizing, Li Qi yawned, sat back under the tree, pulled the straw hat over his eyes, and decided not to look at her to avoid any inappropriate thoughts.

The woman in white, seeing him silent, said, "Why don't you answer? Could it be that you have something to hide?"

Even if I do have something to hide, it's because of you. Li Qi closed his eyes, I don't want to deal with you.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

After a while, there was still no movement.

It seems the girl has left. Li Qi quietly opened one eye and glanced at where the woman in white had been standing. There was no sign of her. He let out a long breath, "Finally, she's gone."

After all, he was a normal man who hadn't had any fun for many days. He was full of energy and almost couldn't hold back. They were in a remote area, and there was no one else around except for them. And she was such a beautiful, delicate woman. Any normal man would have some thoughts. It was all because of those Japanese movies that were so seductive and practical.

Just as he was about to finish his sigh, he heard the woman's voice again, "Mr. Wu, you're here."

Damn! She really is persistent. Wait—she just called who—Mr. Wu? Shit! Could it be that Old Wu is here too?
