Chapter 23
It seemed Lu Beixiao was pretty smooth; he chose to answer her question with another question instead. That was a nice move.
“What about you? How many girls have you been with?” Ye Qiao took a step back just to keep a distance from him. Apparently, she was not going to let him go so easily.
“You’re the very first.” He finally gave in and felt slightly embarrassed. Nevertheless, he answered with firmness in his voice.
The light was turned on as soon as motion was detected, so she could finally see his face. He seemed at ease with his rugged good looks. Quickly, he reached into his right pocket for a box of cigarettes.
“Am I the first? Why do I find it hard to believe?” Ye Qiao tried to tease him but soon became timid when she saw how displeased he looked.
Lu Beixiao put a cigarette in his mouth, but he did not light it up right away. He looked rather annoyed that he failed to gain her trust.

“Whether you believe it or not is up to you.” He was not proud of the fact that he had no experience with girls.
“I believe you; I really do,” she said with a smile. A few words of comfort really helped to ease the tension. She had doubts because of what she had experienced in her past relationship, but her faith was soon restored, for she knew that the 21-year-old Lu Beixiao that she had just met would not lie to her.
He finally lit the cigarette and took a long drag before breathing out puffs of smoke that filled the air with whorls. “Be a good girl and stay away from all the boys who behave like spoiled brats. I’m the only one that you can be with.”
“Where did you go this evening?” He noticed her attire that was obviously meant to parade off her elegance. He was at his grandparents’ house for a drink, so he thought of dropping by her house as well, but to his dismay, she was out.
The man waited patiently but did not hear a response to he chimed in. “Did you go and see Shen Xichuan?” He asked with an obvious sign of disapproval. The sudden thought of his love rival made his blood boil with jealousy.
