Chapter 22: So Good At It

Mo Lihua's eyes burned, but before the tears started to fall from her eyes, her arms had already hooked around Yu Qiao's neck as she buried her face in the hollow of his neck.

"That's so unfair... Others can do it, but I can't? I just want him to look only at me, to only love me! I will do anything for that to happen. Even if he only wants sex! So what? I will be so good at it that he will not think of anyone else!" Mo Lihua continued to mumble, almost inaudibly, but Yu Qiao could clearly understand what she was trying to say.

Yu Qiao can feel her tears on his skin, falling so quickly that he regretted speaking harshly. Still, if Mo Lihua was going to continue being stubborn, not listening to reason, then that is also what he will be doing, even if he needs to say even more harsh words to her so that she can snap back to reality.

He wanted to shout at her and question everything she'd said, but he decided against it. What if Mo Lihua end up hiding everything from him? Yu Qiao could not allow that to happen.

"Shh... Baby girl... Listen..." Yu Qiao uttered softly, as he ran his fingers through her hair. "It is never true that sex will keep a man. If the foundation of the relationship is just that, it will be very shallow..." he explained carefully.

"You know that you will get old eventually, right? What if you get fat? It will be inevitable for you to be replaced if that happens, then your life will be miserable.

Even if he did not replace you, you would end up being the one who makes all of the effort to keep the relationship going. You cannot keep a man with just sex, because that is only an added bonus of the relationship. It is not the thing that will make the relationship last," he continued.

Yu Qiao knew that he was painting the worst scenario in Mo Lihua's head. So what if he is trying to remove that man's chance of having a happily ever after with Mo Lihua, even if he does not know the man personally?

As long as that man is far away from her, the better things will be. If he can make Mo Lihua afraid to have a relationship, so much for the better because then he will not need to worry about it later. Is he being an asshole?

Yu Qiao does not care, as creating space between her and that guy is the only thing that he wants to do now, aside from keeping Mo Lihua close.

Tomorrow he will probably regret every wrong thing that he has said and done and thought and touched tonight, but he will just have to deal with it tomorrow.

Is he taking advantage of Mo Lihua? Probably, because unless you were a priest, a man would not enjoy having a woman so close to him, almost clinging for life.

Yu Qiao calmed himself before speaking, "I am sorry if the truth hurts, but you need to understand that a man will truly love a woman who has self-respect. If you can't even respect yourself, how can others do it?" Yu Qiao continued, "Lihua, I can sense that you were lying when you told me about you... You know... Doing it with your boyfriend. Tell me the truth... You did not have sex with him yet, right?" he eventually asked softly after noticing that Mo Lihua had already stopped crying.

Mo Lihua lifted her face from Yu Qiao's neck to look at him. Her eyes were redder than they looked from when she first started crying her heart out. "I... Never... I..." She whispered.

"Hmm. Never?" Yu Qiao clarified, "You never had sex with him?" With Mo Lihua's guilty expression, he did not need to hear the rest of the sentence to confirm it.

Yu Qiao smirked before speaking, "Tsk. Baby girl you have been lying a lot recently. Haven't you?" he teased, but his tone was still serious enough for her to understand that he is still disappointed.

"I am sorry for lying, but tell me, Brother Qiao, what do I need to do? Help me... I want to know... You have a girlfriend, so tell me... What did you see in Zang Fei that made you want her?" Mo Lihua asked in desperation.
