"Why are we suddenly talking about getting a room?"
Qin Chuan instinctively wanted to refuse, but Wen Yaxin's words made him hesitate.
"If you don't come into the room, I'll just find a random guy on the street and give myself to him tonight." Wen Yaxin's eyes were red, her lips tightly pressed together, showing an intense stubbornness.
Right now, she was like a child throwing a tantrum at Qin Chuan, completely losing her sense of reason under the influence of alcohol.
In this state, she could do anything.
No wonder they say drinking leads to trouble.
Alcohol does that, it makes you stubborn and headstrong.
For her safety, Qin Chuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and accompany her into the room, planning to find a way to let her fall asleep, thinking she might change her mind once she sobers up.
Once they entered the room and the door closed, Wen Yaxin turned around and wrapped her arms around Qin Chuan's neck, actively seeking comfort.
Her full, lush lips pressed against Qin Chuan's mouth, her breath like an orchid.
The faint aftertaste of Long Island iced tea lingered in her mouth, mellow and lasting.
But Qin Chuan didn't respond to her, only silently patting her back gently, soothingly saying, "It'll be okay."
Wen Yaxin's whole body stiffened as if she had been triggered somehow, and she began to sob quietly on Qin Chuan's shoulder.
Tears quickly soaked through the clothes on Qin Chuan's body.
But he didn't avoid it, continuing to patiently soothe Wen Yaxin's emotions.
That's all he could do.
As for what Wen Yaxin initially said, he didn't take it seriously, only considering it nonsense spoken by a drunk person.
After a long while, Wen Yaxin raised her eyes again, her eyes red and filled with mist. "Am I dirty?"
At that moment, she was like a drowning person, seeing Qin Chuan as her last straw of hope.
If Qin Chuan's answer was just one wrong word, it seemed this drowning individual might forever sink in the boundless waters.
"You're not dirty, neither your heart nor your body," Qin Chuan said softly.
After the previous intimate encounter at Wen Yaxin's house, Qin Chuan naturally knew she was still a virgin.
Being a virgin, where does 'dirty' even come into play?
As for inner beauty, Qin Chuan could feel that too.
Simply stated, Wen Yaxin was just a fun-loving girl.
Her nightlife at bars was just to get others' attention.
Qin Chuan suspected it might be related to the environment she grew up in.
Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Wen Yaxin's nose tingled, and tears fell again.
The difference was, this time, there was a hint of a smile on her face.
"Then why don't you want to touch me, and why do you avoid me?"
Wen Yaxin asked pitifully, "Is it because of Gu Yu? Or because of my grandpa?"
The first time she met Qin Chuan was through Gu Yu.
Later she discovered Qin Chuan had connections with her grandfather too, and over time, they became familiar.
"What does this have to do with Gu Yu?" Qin Chuan chuckled bitterly, thinking to himself that nothing inappropriate ever happened between him and Gu Yu.
"Aren't you used to her?" Wen Yaxin asked in surprise.
"You're spreading rumors." Qin Chuan earnestly reminded.
"Oh."
At the mention of 'rumors,' Wen Yaxin's emotions visibly wavered, but she quickly changed the topic: "Then is it because of my grandpa?"
"Probably," Qin Chuan gave a vague answer.
This obviously didn't satisfy Wen Yaxin, as she insisted, "Is it or isn't it? What do you mean by 'probably'?"
Faced with Wen Yaxin's questioning, Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment.
"Let me put it this way, I'm not fit for a relationship. My women, there's more than one of them."
When Qin Chuan said this, he was very serious.
He told Wen Yaxin this mainly to make her give up the idea, to avoid any regret after a relationship developed.
"You're lying."
Wen Yaxin's first reaction was that Qin Chuan was lying.
Qin Chuan was honest and straightforward, with no cunningness. Even if she stripped down in front of him after drugging him, he could resist.
For someone like that to be called a playboy, Wen Yaxin found hard to believe.
Compared to Qin Chuan, she thought if someone said she was a playgirl, people might believe it more.
However, when she looked up again, what she saw was Qin Chuan's incredibly earnest face.
He wasn't lying!
He really had more than one woman!
At that moment, Wen Yaxin's heart felt as if it was being struck by something, trembling violently.
Seeing her slightly flustered expression, Qin Chuan smiled slightly, "So, you sure you still want to get close to me now?"
At this moment, in Wen Yaxin's eyes, Qin Chuan seemed like a different person, becoming extremely dangerous.
As a girl who frequented bars and nightclubs, she had seen many scumbags.
But a guy like Qin Chuan, who openly admitted he was a scumbag, she encountered for the first time.
This was completely different from the scumbags she had known.
"Do... do all those girls around you know your situation?"
Wen Yaxin's voice trembled slightly, "Is Gu Yu one of them?"
"Gu Yu is not," Qin Chuan replied candidly.
He avoided the first question, but from his avoidance, Wen Yaxin had already understood the answer.
They all knew!
The girls around him all knew.
Oh my God, how could they accept that?
Wen Yaxin was very puzzled.
Seeing her nervous and hesitant look, Qin Chuan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
This finally solved the problem of this clingy little goblin, and hopefully, she wouldn't bother him in the future.
"Don't overthink it. Once you sober up, get some rest, and I'll help you sort things out at school," Qin Chuan said, recalling the updates provided by Grandpa Jiang today, whom he had consulted about the recent buyers of Gathering Essence Pill, who were all influential figures in Jiangcheng.
Perhaps, among these customers, he could find someone related to Jiangcheng Communication University to help resolve this issue.
Of course, this matter had to be kept from Grandpa Jiang, otherwise, Wen Yaxin might not be able to face her grandfather in the future.
After all, in front of Grandpa Jiang, Wen Yaxin still maintained the image of a good girl.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yaxin's heart trembled slightly.
Her parents abroad only blamed her lack of discipline when they heard the news.
Despite her attempts to explain, once they learned she had indeed been to bars and nightclubs, they scolded her harshly again.
"If you didn't go to such places, how could anyone spread rumors about you? Flies don't stick to eggs without cracks; the root cause is still your own fault."
This was what her parents said to her back then.
As a victim, Wen Yaxin was deeply hurt by these words, reaching the point of wishing for death.
The comfort she didn't receive from her parents, she felt from Qin Chuan, which was the first time she experienced care from someone other than her grandfather.
For a moment, she seemed to understand why the women around Qin Chuan were willing to stay by his side.
Even though they knew about his other women, they still chose to remain.
This young man in front of her was indeed different from the scumbags she knew.
At critical moments, he could give a girl a strong sense of security.
Consuming the courage from alcohol, Wen Yaxin pressed her lips against Qin Chuan's once more, "Let me be your girl too…"
