Despite her demure facade, she knew she was far from innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her mind, Zhang Yi was still a backup, someone she could easily manipulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Zhang Yi’s cold attitude, Fang Yuqing believed he was just playing hard to get. She was convinced that if she pushed a little harder, she could win him over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she pouted and said coquettishly, \"I did all that for you! Zhang Yi, don't be so petty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was all my fault? Let me come over right now and apologize in person, please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip gently, a blush appearing on her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the very least, let me come over and massage your legs and shoulders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such cold weather, her acting skills, making her appear like a shy maiden, were impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a shame she didn’t pursue a career in acting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhang Yi was not swayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That won't do. We're not a couple, and such intimate actions are unacceptable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi replied righteously, \"I am an old-school person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing was nearly driven mad by his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She practically offered herself to him, yet he continued to act aloof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he really need her to spell it out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he let her stay at his place, she’d shower him with benefits, potentially even sleep with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she hadn't made herself clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desperate to live in Zhang Yi’s comfortable home, Fang Yuqing ignored Lin Cainin's presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yi, actually, I’ve always had a good impression of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being boyfriend and girlfriend is not out of the question!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, affection can grow over time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She covered her face, pretending to be shy. \"Oh, I’m so embarrassed. Do I need to spell it out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her coy behavior, coupled with her flirtatious glances, was indeed seductive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been the old Zhang Yi, he might have been so overwhelmed that he would have immediately let her in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a manipulative and deceitful woman wasn’t easy. It required years of honing one’s skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her performance showcased her mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Yi quickly pondered whether to let this deceitful woman into his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't misunderstand. He wasn’t being saintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply thought that, after pursuing her for two years, it might be worth it to finally sleep with her and settle past grievances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this thought was immediately dismissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the apocalypse, and any potential risk had to be eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he would not open his door to let anyone into his fortress-like home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survival was paramount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi sneered, looking at Fang Yuqing with a mocking gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Yuqing, have you misunderstood something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his hands, saying, \"I admit, we had a decent relationship in the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But,\" he leaned closer to the camera, smirking, \"did you really think I liked you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement was a severe blow for someone as vain as Fang Yuqing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, her face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cainin glanced at her, a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yuqing demanded, \"Zhang Yi, what... what do you mean? Didn’t you love me the most?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't get me wrong. You are pretty, but I never intended to date you, just to have fun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With my conditions, finding a hot girl in Tianhai City is not difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where do you get the confidence that I’ve been desperately pursuing you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi’s tone was dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was telling the truth. As a native of Tianhai City, owning an apartment worth millions, and having a stable job with a monthly salary exceeding ten thousand yuan, plus being tall and handsome, Zhang Yi was a top-notch prospect in the local dating market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for his kindness and naivety in the past, he could have had many women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words felt like daggers to Fang Yuqing's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worst blow for someone who prided herself on her allure was her charm being dismissed, as it was her lifeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always viewed Zhang Yi as a simp, keeping him around while pursuing wealthier men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Zhang Yi was telling her she was just another fish in the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was unbearable for her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice quivered with anger, \"Zhang Yi! You... you’re too much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi sneered, adding more fuel to the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, enough pretending to be an innocent girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve observed you long ago. You’re just a gold-digger, always thinking about hooking a wealthy man. Do you think rich men are idiots?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, you’re infamous among the wealthy heirs in Tianhai City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One day you entice Mr. Zhang, the next Mr. Li. They just toy with you for a few days, and you really think you could marry a rich man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what they call you behind your back? A ‘bus’, a ‘communal socket!’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi’s ruthless taunts left Fang Yuqing trembling with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her eyes, Zhang Yi had always been a backup, a simp, yet now he mercilessly mocked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a complete destruction of her self-esteem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yi! Shut up!\" she screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yi laughed, \"I’m just speaking the truth. Why are you so upset?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t these all things you did yourself? \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhang Yi cut off the call, not giving Fang Yuqing a chance to retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>",892,"2026-06-03T02:47:18.755Z","2026-06-03T02:47:23.599Z",1,"novelbin.me","33a63586eb3273f695ffff6e16c47201aada0eb3fe666a04abafac485471d6d8","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-34","ice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-chapter-32",1370,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fice-age-apocalypse-i-hoard-billions-of-supplies-cover.jpg"]
