Chapter 160: Ye Ye Qingfeng: No More Pretending, Time to Show My Hand~

"Of course!" Ye Ye Qingfeng noticed Elena's expression of delighted shock, and a huge sense of satisfaction swelled in his heart.

Seeing she remained unresponsive for so long, he took the initiative to place the items into her hands.

Once again, voices of her kind persona and her evil persona arguing rang out in Elena's ears, the two sounds constantly weaving and colliding within her mind.

After a fierce struggle, the kind persona ultimately gained the upper hand.

"No, no, no! I can't accept this! You should take it back."

Just as Elena regained her senses, she saw the two bottles already resting in her hands; her heart gave an involuntary tremor, and after two seconds of brief yet agonizing hesitation, she reluctantly returned the items.

"Does Elena not like them?"

Ye Ye Qingfeng clearly had no idea of the price of these two bottles; subconsciously assuming Elena simply didn't like them, he blinked innocently, his eyes filled with confusion.

He clearly remembered Elena saying earlier that she wanted this thing, so why did she suddenly not want it anymore?

Could it be that she has already bought some?

Elena: Who? Me? A hard-working office girl... How could I possibly afford something this expensive? Boo-hoo...

"It's too valuable... I won't accept it."

Elena's tone was resolute as she quickly waved her hands in refusal.

"It's fine; if you feel forced, then forget it."

Ye Ye Qingfeng nodded slightly, took the items back, sat down close beside Elena, and leaned against the sofa backrest, saying with slight regret, "If Elena doesn't want them, then so be it; after all, I have no use for them either, so I might as well give them to other Sharkians~~"

"???"

The expression of refusal just forming on Elena's face suddenly froze; she had originally thought Ye Ye Qingfeng would find some excuse to give her the items anyway, but she truly never expected this turn of events!

Unhappy—! Very unhappy! Go wash yourself, you big radish!

"Then take them and give them to someone else! I'm going to sleep."

Elena crossed her arms, slowly rose to her feet, spun around sharply with her tail nearly brushing past him, slicing through the air with a strong whoosh, and strode past him with a gloomy face, heading toward her room without looking back.

The aura surrounding her radiated a 'strangers keep away' vibe, and her words lacked their usual warmth.

She didn't even call him 'Brother Ye Qingfeng~' anymore, directly switching to 'you'!

"Wait a moment!"

Ye Ye Qingfeng reacted almost instinctively, hurriedly striding after Elena and managing to grab her shoulder just barely before she entered the room.

If she were truly angry, why hadn't her Favorability Rating dropped? He would rather believe the System had a delay than gamble on the possibility that she was actually pretending.

"What is it?"

Elena's expression improved slightly, at least no longer so gloomy, as she asked with a blank face.

In her heart, she also breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't care how Ye Ye Qingfeng coaxed her, only fearing that he would remain silent at this moment and watch her leave with his own eyes.

Could it be that he expects a girl to make the first move?

Ye Ye Qingfeng's originally anxious interest instantly turned into a smirk as he glanced at the 'Mood' column next to Elena's name, where the two large characters 'Anticipating' appeared.

Why overthink it? Just use force directly!

Elena:??? You better not mean 'that'! Just because it's skincare products worth 1.5 million Ding Ni, you think you can make me...

Nico: If you don't want them, I do! Hehe! Even if I just resell them, I'll get at least 1 million Ding Ni!

Ye Ye Qingfeng shoved the skincare products into Elena's arms, and before she could react, his figure flashed; the next second, his arms passed behind her back and under her knees respectively.

He easily lifted Elena into his embrace and, without the slightest hesitation, ran toward her boudoir.

"Ah—! What are you doing?"

Completely unprepared for the sudden action, Elena instinctively wrapped her arms around Ye Ye Qingfeng's neck to prevent herself from falling, while the two bottles of skincare products stood upright against her chest.

Noticing this, Ye Ye Qingfeng silently gave a thumbs-up in his heart: Miss, what a great figure~!

"W-wait a moment! Isn't 'that kind of thing' still too early?"

Seeing the distance to the bed growing ever shorter, panic became visibly apparent on Elena's face.

"Not early~ Not early at all~ Put me down! I specifically learned this! It won't hurt!"

Ye Ye Qingfeng bent down and gently placed Elena on the bed, then calmly stretched his limbs, as if preparing for an unprecedented great battle.

"Dame dame! That kind of thing is still too early!!"

Elena, no longer caring about the skincare products in her arms, flung them aside; while crying out, she crawled toward the door, and just when success seemed only one step away, her ankle was suddenly grabbed firmly by a hand.

"Where does Elena think she's going? I already said it won't hurt; rest assured, I'm very skilled!"

As he spoke, Ye Ye Qingfeng suddenly exerted force with his hand, yanking the fleeing Elena back.

"No——!!"

She let out a despairing scream; the open room door grew increasingly distant, and she slowly turned her head, raising her eyes to look at Ye Ye Qingfeng.

She saw him looking at her with excitement, his gaze constantly sweeping over her body; upon noticing her stare, he offered an apologetic smile.

"Take this move—!"

Elena was currently lying prone, her ankle firmly gripped in Ye Ye Qingfeng's hand; after finding her attempts to roll over futile, she decisively kicked at him with her other leg.

Ultimate Move—Shark Shark Flying Kick!

The moment her white-with-a-hint-of-pink sole was about to touch Ye Ye Qingfeng's face, Elena turned her head, looking at him with full joy, already imagining him being kicked flying the next second, allowing her to seize the opportunity to escape.

In an instant! A flash passed before Elena's eyes, and the scene before her changed drastically; the kick that should have been a certain victory was miraculously blocked by him, his hand firmly gripping her foot suspended in mid-air.

"Little one~ Still trying to sneak attack! Why else would I be this excited if I didn't mean to harm you?"

Under the effect of Bullet Time, Ye Ye Qingfeng quite easily caught Elena's flying kick; although puzzled by her such intense reaction, having successfully intercepted her sneak attack, he naturally puffed out his chest, looking exceedingly proud.

His gaze was instantly attracted by the small foot in his hand; her toes suddenly curled together, her tender nails shimmering faintly under the light.

Ye Ye Qingfeng gently rubbed the sole of her foot with his finger, his fingertip gliding from the arch to the tip.

"Hahahahahaha!!"

Elena tightly clutched the bedsheets with both hands, her body twisting frantically left and right, emitting bursts of delicate laughter; her laughter was as clear and melodious as bells, echoing throughout the room.

Ellen tried to pull her foot back, but Ye Ye Qingfeng held it firmly in his hand; the grip wasn't tight, yet she couldn't break free.

She slowly turned her head, lightly biting her lip, blinking her large, watery eyes as she looked pitifully at Ye Ye Qingfeng.

"Ye Qingfeng, let me go!"

She spoke in a squeezed, coquettish voice, begging Ye Ye Qingfeng for mercy.
