Chapter 259
Li Qingxue rested her chin on her delicate cheek, letting out a soft sigh. "What are you talking about? Compared to you all, I'm just too pure..."
**Chapter 315: Ye Liangchen, Who Can't Bear the Suffering of the World**
"Not enough. Just this isn't enough."
Ye Liangchen stared at the screen of his phone, taking a deep breath before slowly closing his eyes.
A single tear trickled down the corner of his eye.
He had once sworn that it would be the last time—just one last time he would let Long Aotian have his way with Hu Yuying. That was the final chance he had given Long Aotian.
But now, he was oblivious to the danger and had taken Hu Yuying away.
This undoubtedly crossed the last line in Ye Liangchen's heart.
If it had been before, he would have let Long Aotian do as he pleased.
But now that he was ready to welcome Hu Yuying back, Long Aotian's actions were simply unacceptable!
His plan had been so close to success, just a little more and he could have had Hu Yuying back.
Yet it seemed Long Aotian knew his intentions.
He was frantically pursuing Hu Yuying, seemingly intent on finding satisfaction in her at the last moment.
He was merely venting his frustrations, never truly considering Hu Yuying's feelings.
Just the thought of Hu Yuying's haggard appearance made Ye Liangchen's heart ache.
The girl he wanted to cherish, the one he aimed to restore to her rightful place, was being toyed with by someone else...
Shen Mengjie glanced out the window, taking a gentle sip of her coffee.
Then her gaze fell on the deeply troubled Ye Liangchen and Xue Shaohua.
With a slight smile, her tone casual, she said, "But this is all I can do. Are you really asking me to sleep with Long Aotian?"
"I know you care deeply, but do you really think someone as extreme and reckless as Long Aotian would let you go so easily?"
"You’re so alluring; he loves women like you. The moment he gets a chance, he won't let you slip away."
"Enough!"
Ye Liangchen frowned at Xue Shaohua, confused about the meaning behind his words.
Xue Shaohua took a deep breath, as if making a very difficult decision.
He tossed his hair back, revealing an earring hidden beneath his hair.
"I don’t want this either, but I have no choice. I can only unleash my charm now!"
As he spoke, he unzipped his jacket.
"Mengjie, I know this might be hard for you to accept, but don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer!"
At this point, he gave a self-deprecating smile, lifted his shirt to reveal his shoulder, tossed his hair again, and looked down at a forty-five-degree angle. "If I’m not mistaken, you should have some feelings for me, right?"
"Honestly, I have a bit of admiration for you too, Mengjie. So, as long as you’re willing to help me deal with Long Aotian, my body..."
Before he could finish, Shen Mengjie could no longer hold back and splashed her coffee at Xue Shaohua. "Are you out of your mind?"
In response to Shen Mengjie’s action, Xue Shaohua merely smiled calmly, wiping his face with his hand. "I know this might come off as offensive, but ask your heart—can you really bear to treat me this way?"
Seeing Shen Mengjie’s expression darken, Ye Liangchen frowned and grabbed Xue Shaohua.
As Xue Shaohua prepared to toss his hair again, Ye Liangchen inhaled sharply, barely holding back his anger. If it weren't for Shen Mengjie being present, he would have slapped him across the face!
Suppressing his fury, he whispered in Xue Shaohua's ear, "Calm down! Don’t forget how far we’ve come. If Shen Mengjie gives up, all our efforts will be in vain. We’ll just have to watch Hu Yuying be taken away by Long Aotian and subjected to that kind of treatment!"
At these words, Xue Shaohua looked at Shen Mengjie with soft eyes, finally closing them and letting his hair cover the earring.
Seeing Xue Shaohua calm down, Ye Liangchen turned to Shen Mengjie with an apologetic look. "I know you have your concerns, but this isn’t enough. It won’t be enough to completely ruin Long Aotian."
"For your own sake, and for those girls who have been forced and deceived by Long Aotian, I hope you can help us."
"Do you know? When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent."
"You have a chance to help them now. If you choose to turn a blind eye, those girls who have been forced and deceived by Long Aotian will never escape his clutches. This nightmare will haunt them for life."
As he spoke, Ye Liangchen's gaze burned with intensity as he looked at Shen Mengjie.
Meeting Ye Liangchen's sincere eyes, Shen Mengjie feigned helplessness and finally sighed. "T University holds a sports meet every year, and afterward, we usually go out for dinner."
"If you can find a way to get Long Aotian drunk, at least I need to ensure my safety."
"And you must guarantee that they will leave. Otherwise, everything I do, the so-called redemption you speak of, would just be a joke!"
Ye Liangchen nodded, understanding and fully agreeing.
After all, in his original plan, he had already included Shen Mengjie among the women he wanted to protect, and he certainly didn’t want her to be touched by Long Aotian.
As for whether Hu Yuying and the others would leave Long Aotian, they definitely would.
What woman could repeatedly tolerate a man who was fickle and unfaithful?
As long as Hu Yuying had a seed of doubt in her heart, it would be time for him to act!
With that thought, Ye Liangchen smiled confidently, tossing his hair back. "That won’t be a problem."
With the memories from his past life, mixing a cocktail was a piece of cake for him...
"Thank you. What you’re doing is no less than safeguarding world peace."
"I want to know, is everything you’re doing now for Hu Yuying, Li Qingxue, and Lin Wanning?"
"Why are you willing to go to such lengths for them?" Shen Mengjie was genuinely curious.
Although what she was doing now was not fundamentally different from what Ye Liangchen was doing.
They both wanted to take Hu Yuying and the others away, while she merely wanted to obtain something she shouldn’t have but deeply desired...
Ye Liangchen naturally wouldn’t say that only by redeeming them and being with them could he easily ascend to the position of CEO, reach the pinnacle of life, realize his own value, and at the same time enjoy the company of three stunning beauties.
If there’s a shortcut in life, all it takes is to give up one’s body. Who would refuse such earthly pleasures?
Ye Liangchen cleared his throat. "Some people are alive but are already dead, while others live only to help more people avoid suffering."
"If I had to find a reason for myself, it might be that I have a sense of justice and can’t bear to see the suffering of the world."
Shen Mengjie chuckled lightly, looking earnestly at Ye Liangchen.
She herself was flawed, but she was clear about it.
Yet, such hypocrisy was indeed rare...
**Chapter 316: Lin Wanning's Little Scheme**
Meanwhile, the three little ones returned to the courtyard after their shower.
Long Aotian had already woken up and was tidying up.
"Brother Long, I brought you some soda," Hu Yuying cheerfully handed the soda to him and took the broom from his hands.
Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning also joined in washing the dishes and cleaning up.
As Lin Wanning passed by Long Aotian, she stole a glance at him, a hint of shyness blooming on her tear mole.
Ever since her brother got together with Yuying, he had really picked up some bad habits; a kiss here, and his hands were getting a little too familiar.
The feeling of being playfully squeezed seemed to have just happened a moment ago.
Watching Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning turn their backs to him, Long Aotian smirked at Hu Yuying and quickly pecked her on the corner of her lips.
Hu Yuying was startled; after all, Qingxue and Wanning were still there.
Her little face flushed red, and she shot a playful glare at Long Aotian, softly murmuring, "You naughty brother Long."
"Who was it that kissed me while I was sleeping? Don’t think I didn’t notice just because I was asleep." His teasing voice lingered in her ear.
Hu Yuying bit her lip, surprised that he had caught her just pecking his cheek.
She loved seeing the little girl shy; even though they had already done everything that needed to be done, her bashfulness still made Long Aotian feel like they were just starting out.
Shyness triggered a primal physiological response, and it was always the same.
"I’m not telling you, brother Long." Hu Yuying knew she would be no match for him in terms of shamelessness, so she stubbornly changed the subject.
The way the little girl tried to argue made Long Aotian chuckle as he took a sip of his soda.
