Chapter 02

“You wouldn’t want your parents to find out about this, right?”

As soon as Qi Lin got into the car, he casually took a pack of 1916 cigarettes from the side storage compartment.

He skillfully pulled out one cigarette, lightly sniffed it near his nose, then put it in his mouth and lit it. Finally, he slowly exhaled a ring of smoke.

In his previous life, after his family went bankrupt, Qi Lin had been so poor he could barely afford food, let alone smoke 1916 cigarettes.

Having lived two lifetimes, Qi Lin had begun to understand how to cherish everything he currently possessed.

Inside the closed, air-conditioned car, the cigarette smoke made Wang Siling’s eyes sting slightly, but that didn’t stop her delicate face from showing a faint look of surprise.

From Qi Lin’s tone, it didn’t sound like he was negotiating at all.

Instead, there was a faint sense of threat.

“I don’t.”

But since she was the one who made the mistake first, Wang Siling could only nod obediently.

Her family conditions were average. Her parents were already struggling to support both her and her brother through school.

If they found out that she had scratched someone’s luxury car and had to pay a large amount in compensation, who knew how anxious they would become.

“If you don’t want them to know, then obediently agree to my condition. As long as you agree, the compensation issue… I can waive it.”

Qi Lin flicked the cigarette ash and smiled faintly.

Here, the words Qi Lin used contained a small verbal trap.

He said he could waive it, but he never specified whether he meant waiving part of it or the entire amount.

“What condition?”

Although Wang Siling was only a second-year high school student, she was quite intelligent.

“Obediently agree” definitely wasn’t a good phrase. The threatening implication was already very obvious.

Thinking of this, Wang Siling suddenly became nervous.

“Siling-mei, has anyone ever told you that you’re very cute and very pretty?”

Qi Lin looked Wang Siling up and down and asked with a smile.

“You… what are you trying to do?”

Qi Lin’s words immediately revealed his intentions. Wang Siling was instantly frightened.

Her timid eyes trembled as she shrank toward the window like a little rabbit.

“I’m not trying to do anything. Didn’t you scratch my car? As long as you give me a kiss, I can waive the compensation.”

Like a cunning big bad wolf, Qi Lin finally revealed his sharp claws.

Hearing Qi Lin’s words, Wang Siling’s pretty face froze in a blank expression.

It wasn’t like no one liked her.

For example, Yu Chen, or those little boys who sent her love letters.

But every one of those boys would honestly confess their feelings and wait for her response.

Someone like Qi Lin, who started by threatening her and asking for a kiss, was something she had never encountered before.

Wang Siling was frightened and shook her head repeatedly.

“No!”

“Why not?”

Qi Lin extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.

“Qi Lin-gege, my mom and dad don’t allow me to date early. They said I can only date when I go to university.”

Wang Siling said with a trembling voice, almost crying.

“What era is this now? And you still listen to your parents that much?”

“Besides, I never said I wanted to date you. I’m only discussing the compensation with you. Aren’t you being a little narcissistic?”

As Qi Lin spoke, he raised his hand and placed it on Wang Siling’s shoulder.

“Ah!”

Wang Siling jumped in fright and hurriedly pushed his hand away.

Then she stared at Qi Lin with disbelief on her face.

He didn’t even want to date her—he simply wanted to take advantage of her.

Was that something a normal boy would say?

“Qi Lin-gege, aren’t you good friends with my brother? You wouldn’t bully your good friend’s sister, right?”

“And… and my brother already told me before that Qi Lin-gege is a sunny, kind, and loyal person. So what you said just now must be a joke, right?”

Wang Siling tried her best not to cry.

She secretly grabbed the door handle, trying to see if the door could be opened.

But the result was futile.

The door had been locked by Qi Lin from the inside. Unless Qi Lin allowed it, Wang Siling couldn’t open the car door at all.

Moral pressure again?

Hearing Wang Siling’s words, Qi Lin couldn’t help but laugh.

In his previous life, Wang Siling had also scratched his car.

Just because she was Wang Cheng’s sister, Qi Lin hadn’t pursued the matter.

But what happened afterward?

How did Wang Cheng treat Qi Lin later on?

Now that he had been reborn, Qi Lin would never make such a low-level mistake again.

“Isn’t it even better because you’re my good friend’s sister? That makes us even closer, right?”

“And besides, how could your brother say something so untrue? I’m clearly just a rich second-generation guy who lives off my family and does nothing. Bullying people is one of my favorite hobbies. Being sunny and kind has nothing to do with me.”

While speaking, Qi Lin once again grabbed Wang Siling’s small, fair hand after she had pushed him away earlier.

It was cold and soft, almost boneless. Because of her nervousness, there were even tiny beads of sweat in her palm.

The moment Wang Siling realized her hand was being held, she panicked and tried to pull it back.

“Think carefully before you decide. Once the compensation issue comes up, there won’t be any room for negotiation.”

Qi Lin’s tone was calm.

Wang Siling’s pretty face froze. Her small face was filled with grievance, but she didn’t dare move her hand anymore.

The 12,000 yuan repair cost was something a second-year high school girl like her could never afford.

“Qi Lin-gege… actually, I already have… a boyfriend.”

Wang Siling gritted her teeth and threw out what she thought was a bombshell, hoping it would make Qi Lin let her go.

“A boyfriend? That hot-tempered brat?”

Qi Lin smiled casually while playing with Wang Siling’s hand.

Wang Siling’s face flushed red, and she nodded somewhat awkwardly.
