Chapter 231: Chapter 234: Saying One Thing and Thinking Another

Seeing the slight fatigue in Luo Qingtong’s eyes, Ye Qianming frowned slightly and unconsciously relaxed his muscles that had tensed up abruptly when this woman leaned close, allowing her to lean more comfortably.

Let it be a reward for this woman’s good behavior at the moment!

Thinking so, he casually followed up on her words, asking, “Is that so? Why?”

This woman’s thoughts are indeed peculiar, actually hoping that he would be weaker.

In this world where the strong are revered and the lives of the weak are as insignificant as ants, who wouldn’t wish for themselves or their loved ones to be stronger?

Only then could they provide protection!

The men and women tirelessly trying to climb into Ye Qianming’s bed are almost all drawn by his strength!

Without this strength, who knows how many of those who profess their love would remain.

Ye Qianming thought and sneered, but he became somewhat curious about Luo Qingtong’s answer.

He wanted to know why this woman would have such a strange idea.

“Because then I could keep you by my side!” Luo Qingtong said without hesitation.

If this man were just a tad weaker than her, it wouldn’t take much, just a little bit, and she could keep him by her side, couldn’t she?!

This voice is indescribably pleasant!

It’s cool yet noble, refined yet authoritative.

Deep as the sound of gongs and drums, melodious as the sound of strings and woodwinds! It’s as if my ears are pregnant with joy!

Unfortunately, this man’s strength is too formidable, off the charts dangerous! Utterly uncontrollable!

Therefore, Luo Qingtong’s idea was just wishful thinking!

This dangerous man, it’s better to stay far away from him!

Especially since he’s constantly scheming to capture her!

Considering her own life and freedom, keeping her distance is the wisest choice!

Luo Qingtong certainly doesn’t want to become prey trapped in someone else’s palm.

This man she can neither defeat nor escape from, and having accumulated enmity with him… just thinking about it is exhausting! Alas!

“You want to stay by my side?”

Automatically interpreting Luo Qingtong’s words as her desire to stay by his side, Ye Qianming turned his head to look at the petite woman leaning on him, feeling his heart beat slightly, inexplicably delighted.

So the words of admiration she said before were not false!

She indeed likes him!

She was just too shy to admit it before, right?

Ye Qianming thought of those women who approached him under various pretexts, all pretending to be indifferent to garner his attention.

But their affected airs only disgusted him.

This woman’s insincerity, however, comforted him greatly.

“Yes,” Luo Qingtong responded, not noticing his conversational inversion, and added with a sigh of regret, “Unfortunately, you’re too strong! Ah!”

She said this with a heavy sigh.

Listening to this, Ye Qianming’s lips curled into a smirk in an instant.

In his ears, Luo Qingtong’s words implied that she wanted to stay by his side, yet she dared not approach because he was too powerful!

No wonder she wished he was weaker!

Ye Qianming thought, feeling greatly pleased inside.

“My strength cannot be reversed. However, if you wish to stay by my side, I…”

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Qingtong, having rested for a while and feeling the intense pain in her meridians much relieved and her depleted strength restored, suddenly stretched and stood up.

“Lord, thank you for being my human pillow!”

She grinned and waved at Ye Qianming, “We need not meet by chance, there will be no future… Huh? You broke through the acupoint?!”
