Chapter 76

"Damn love witness."

Upon hearing those words, Xu Jianxing felt a deep sense of frustration, glaring fiercely at Isabel, but she completely ignored him. Isabel, with a sweet smile, said, "Of course, I will definitely invite Boss Li when the time comes, right, darling?"

The last sentence was asked with a smile as she looked at Xu Jianxing.

"Uh." Xu Jianxing didn't know whether to say yes or no, so he could only give a vague response. However, he didn't want to remain passive. His hand quietly slid to Isabel's soft waist, just as he was about to take the next step.

Isabel's red lips approached Xu Jianxing's ear, and in a voice only he could hear, she murmured, "Darling, if you want to touch, I have no objections, but you must be prepared to bear the consequences. One touch, and I'll cling to you for a month; two touches, and I'll cling to you for two months; three touches, and I'll cling to you for life. Anyway, in my heart, having a magical big boy as a husband isn't bad. I think many women would envy this."

Hearing this, Xu Jianxing's body suddenly stiffened, and he awkwardly withdrew his hand. Although he didn't know if Isabel was telling the truth, he knew this Western woman was extremely persistent.

"That's a good boy." Isabel laughed triumphantly, but she felt a bit frustrated and disappointed. It wasn't that she had fallen in love with Xu Jianxing, but as a beautiful woman, failing to make a man want to marry her was a kind of failure. Of course, this was only true because she had some feelings for him.

If it were a man she didn't like, she would have wanted him to get lost.

In a sudden impulse, Isabel gently bit Xu Jianxing's ear and extended her small tongue to softly lick it, causing Xu Jianxing's body to stiffen again. This made Isabel blush and giggle like a seductress, whispering, "This is a reward for being good just now."

Although this scene was relatively hidden, many people still saw it, causing them to be stunned. They felt envious and couldn't help but comment, "Western women, no matter how gentle and reserved they appear, are still spicier than Eastern women."

In fact, Xu Jianxing would rather not have such a blessing. As a normal man, although he didn't want to be betrayed, if he continued like this, his body would betray him first.

Seeing Xu Jianxing's dazed expression, Isabel's embarrassment vanished, and she secretly rejoiced, "It turns out teasing a man is so much fun. This pervert isn't as bad as he seems. I've found his weakness."

But at that moment, she seemed to forget a Chinese proverb: those who play with fire will get burned. Perhaps she deliberately forgot it; who could know?

Then, Isabel asked, "By the way, darling, when do you plan to go home?"

After yesterday's incident with Liu Min, she knew Xu Jianxing was on a trip and that he would eventually leave. This was a concern for her. Although she could easily find out, it would feel like prying into his privacy, which would be off-putting. So, she decided to ask first. If she couldn't get an answer, she would have to investigate.

As for Lu Qian, she was temporarily ignored. It wasn't that she wanted to take over, but she wanted to learn some secrets about the mysterious martial arts from Xu Jianxing to study. At least, that's what she thought.

Hearing this, Xu Jianxing immediately became wary, "Why are you asking this?"

To others, Xu Jianxing seemed like someone who wanted to have his cake and eat it too, without taking responsibility. This made many people secretly curse him, wishing they could take his place and become Isabel's boyfriend. They would take good care of her, as it would save them decades of struggle, and they might live a carefree life. Even if she were less attractive, it wouldn't matter, let alone such a beautiful Western woman.

Isabel feigned hurt and said, "I'm just concerned about you. It's not that you don't want to take responsibility, is it?"

Then, she leaned close to Xu Jianxing's ear and whispered, "Darling, if you don't want me to investigate your whereabouts through special channels, it's best to tell me."

"Uh." Xu Jianxing frowned. He hated being threatened and knew Isabel's methods of investigation, which would likely connect him to her savior. Although Xu Jianxing didn't want to expose himself, if it came to a point of no return, he wouldn't mind. Even if he became a privileged person, he wouldn't have much against it, as it would bring many conveniences, though he didn't want them.

However, it wasn't a point of no return yet. Xu Jianxing thought for a moment, leaned on Isabel's shoulder, and whispered, "This is the first and only time. Remember, I'm going home the day after tomorrow."

Although she got the information she wanted, Isabel wasn't particularly happy. She felt uneasy, realizing she had caused Xu Jianxing to dislike her. He was someone who would rather break than bend.

Isabel, feeling a bit nervous, whispered, "Sorry, Mr. Xu."

"Uh." Xu Jianxing nodded slightly and said, "As long as it doesn't happen again."

"I understand." Isabel replied pitifully, feeling a bit wronged as she stood to the side.

The people around them were curious about their conversation but couldn't hear it. Seeing Isabel's final expression, they assumed she had given in, which made them jealous.

Boss Li, hooking his arm around Xu Jianxing's shoulder, laughed, "Xu, good job, I'm impressed. Teach me a few tricks sometime."

At first, Xu Jianxing didn't understand, but then he got it and pretended to be smug, "No problem, I'll tell you, old Li. Women need to be disciplined. When they need to be taught a lesson, don't be gentle. Look how obedient and well-behaved she is now."

"Wow." Everyone was stunned. Such a high-born lady, they wouldn't dare to hit her, let alone speak harshly. Only a fool like you would dare to hit and scold her.

Isabel, hearing this, looked up angrily at Xu Jianxing. But when he saw her expression, he glared and smirked, "What, still不服气 (unconvinced)?"

"I, I..." Isabel gritted her teeth, thinking, "You're playing with me, aren't you? I'll let it slide today, but I'll get you back later."

Then, Isabel's expression changed, and she looked like a wronged wife, softly saying, "Darling, I didn't."

"That's a good girl." Xu Jianxing used Isabel's words against her, feeling greatly relieved. He had finally gotten his revenge, and he felt a bit smug. Making such a Western beauty so obedient was rare, even if it was fake, it still made him feel good.

Feeling this wasn't enough, Xu Jianxing grinned and reached into his pocket, pulling out a lollipop and handing it to Isabel, "You've been good today, so this is a reward. I usually love these, and I wouldn't give them to just anyone."

Everyone was stunned, unable to imagine Xu Jianxing having such a hobby, carrying lollipops everywhere. In fact, the lollipop was for Lu Tingting, and he kept many in his space, occasionally enjoying one himself.

Isabel, looking at the lollipop, felt frustrated. After a while, she reluctantly took it, peeled it, and opened her sexy red lips, extending her alluring tongue to gently lick it.

This made everyone, including Xu Jianxing, feel dry-mouthed. It was too seductive. Before they could fully appreciate it, they heard a crisp "crack."

Isabel opened her mouth, showing her white teeth, and bit down hard. This made everyone shudder, and Xu Jianxing, in a daze, saw Isabel glance at his lower body. Then, she started to chew, "Crunch, crunch..."

This made Xu Jianxing feel a chill and a strange excitement.

In a few bites, Isabel had chewed the entire lollipop and swallowed it. Then, she licked her tongue and asked, "Darling, it tastes good. Do you have more?"

"No." Xu Jianxing shook his head, feeling both excited and irritated.

"Oh." Isabel looked disappointed, "That's a pity. I hope you'll prepare more next time. I think I'm starting to like these creamy lollipops. They're hard, crispy, and sweet."

Such a double entendre made Xu Jianxing's face flush.

After saying this, Isabel felt a bit embarrassed and changed the topic, "By the way, Xu, which home are you going back to?"

Xu Jianxing, without hesitation, said, "Yunhai."
