The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 230: I Hope You’re Telling the Truth

Chen Bin frowned and asked irritably.

"What do you want?"

Ye Pei stared at Chen Bin with caution.

"Who did you come here with?"

"Who I came with has nothing to do with you. Why do you care?"

Ye Pei first glanced around, then reluctantly asked.

"Are you waiting for Cai Lixia?"

Chen Bin glanced at the woman standing beside Ye Pei and sneered.

"You’re next to another woman, yet you’re asking about Cai Lixia. Don’t you feel shameless?"

Seeing Ye Pei about to explode, Chen Bin muttered on.

"Once Lixia arrives, I’ll have dinner with her and then get a room. Just thinking about it is exciting."

Hearing this, Ye Pei panicked instantly.

After all, Cai Lixia was the woman he had his eyes on—how could Chen Bin beat him to it?

Without a second thought, he dismissed the woman beside him and sat directly on the sofa in the lobby, intending to sabotage Chen Bin’s plans.

Chen Bin waited for a while, then pretended to make a phone call and turned to leave.

Back at the guesthouse, Chen Bin suddenly realized he hadn’t been helping He Beibei with her studies much lately.

When he knocked and entered her room, he found her sitting at the desk lost in thought.

Perhaps out of guilt, Chen Bin actively tried to mend the relationship by asking.

"Is there a question you’re stuck on? Want me to take a look?"

He Beibei, with a gloomy face, replied irritably.

"No!"

"How about I pour you a cup of water?"

"Not thirsty!"

"What’s wrong with you?"

"None of your business!"

Sighing, Chen Bin sat next to He Beibei.

"I’m sorry. I’ve been coming over less often lately. My work has been really busy. I hope you can understand."

He Beibei acted as if she hadn’t heard and continued sitting there silently.

Seeing this, Chen Bin pretended to be angry.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Can you not give me the silent treatment?"

He Beibei still ignored him.

At this moment, Chen Bin genuinely got a bit angry.

He lightly pushed her. "What on earth is going on? Talk to me properly!"

Finally, He Beibei couldn’t hold back and collapsed into his arms, crying bitterly.

Chen Bin panicked completely and quickly patted her back, repeatedly apologizing.

"I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I apologize."

Through sobs, He Beibei said, "You don’t actually like me, do you?"

Without hesitation, Chen Bin immediately answered.

"How could that be? Of course I like you. Otherwise, why would I arrange for you to study in Dragon Mountain County and even have Cheng Zhuang pick you up every day?"

Wiping away her tears, He Beibei looked at Chen Bin with a flushed face.

"What kind of ’like’ are you talking about?"

Seeing her finally willing to speak up, Chen Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He reached out and tapped her forehead playfully, smiling as he replied.

"That’s a secret. I’m not telling you."

He Beibei pushed him away angrily and said.

"If you don’t tell me, I’ll never speak to you again."

"You wouldn’t dare! If you dare treat me like that again, just see how I’ll deal with you."

Truth be told, Chen Bin did think He Beibei was quite pretty.

Both her figure and her face would likely be stunning when she grew older.

But since she was still underage, Chen Bin would never lay a hand on her.

He Beibei threw her pen onto the desk in a huff and said angrily.

"If you even touch a hair on me, I swear I won’t study anymore!"

"Wow, look at you. Your parents told me I have the authority to discipline you if you act out."

As he spoke, Chen Bin rolled up his sleeves, pretending he was about to take action.

He only intended to scare the little girl. But unexpectedly, her stubborn streak kicked in.

She glared defiantly at Chen Bin and threatened.

"Go ahead, hit me! If you do, I’ll skip school starting tomorrow!"

"You..."

Looking at the furious He Beibei, Chen Bin suddenly didn’t know how to handle her.

He wasn’t her parent, so of course he couldn’t actually hit her.

And knowing her personality, if he did hit her, she might really skip school tomorrow.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Bin said helplessly.

"Fine, tell me what will make you stop this tantrum."

"Apologize to me!"

"I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?"

"Changing your heart requires an apology!"

Chen Bin truly couldn’t make sense of what she was saying.

But to calm her down, he reluctantly replied.

"Fine, I’m sorry. Happy now?"

"Not good enough. That didn’t sound sincere!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Bin gritted his teeth and said.

"You better not push your luck!"

He Beibei snorted defiantly, staring provocatively at Chen Bin.

"From now on, you have to say you like me once a day. Then I’ll forgive you and make sure I rank in the top three in every exam."

"Top three in the grade? Seriously?"

Seeing Chen Bin’s incredulous expression, He Beibei smugly replied.

"If you dare say it, I’ll achieve it. If I don’t, then from now on, I’ll do whatever you ask of me."

"Alright, I like you. Happy now?"

He Beibei grinned and immediately returned to the desk.

She even gathered all the questions she couldn’t solve and started asking Chen Bin for help.

By the time they finished the tutoring session, it was already past ten at night.

After bidding farewell to He Beibei, Chen Bin left her room.

When he reached his own door, he unexpectedly encountered Cai Lixia, who had been waiting for him.

Unable to help himself, he asked, "Lixia, why are you here?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly opened the door to invite her in.

Once inside, Cai Lixia didn’t wait for Chen Bin to sit down before immediately questioning him.

"Did you meet with Ye Pei just now?"

"Ye Pei?"

Chen Bin froze for a moment before catching on and quickly nodding.

"Yeah, I ran into him and a woman coming out of a private room as I finished dinner with my friends, so I teased him a little. Why?"

Fixing her eyes on Chen Bin, Cai Lixia’s face showed a mix of shyness and anger.

"Then why did you say you were planning to take me to get a room?"

Clearing his throat, Chen Bin hurriedly explained.

"I just wanted to provoke him. Did he call you?"

Nodding, Cai Lixia looked exasperated.

"He waited for me at the restaurant for a whole hour. When I didn’t show up, he kept calling non-stop. In the end, I got so annoyed I had to answer."

Scratching his head, Chen Bin apologized awkwardly.

"I’m really sorry. I only wanted to rile him up. I didn’t expect it to cause you so much trouble."

Taking a deep breath, Cai Lixia fixed her suspicious gaze on Chen Bin.

"Do you like me or not?"

"Of course I do. Why?"

"Then why did you bring Ding Zi to your room earlier?"

Just as Chen Bin was about to make an excuse, Cai Lixia’s eyes bore into him with even more intensity.

"When someone told me about it, they even had pictures. I hope you’ll be honest with me!"
