Zhang Yang was also looking directly into Li Lei’s eyes, then he firmly said: "I just happened to meet Xu Caimei, we’re not in a romantic relationship."
Li Lei’s intuition told her that Zhang Yang was not lying, but she somewhat doubted it.
After all, Zhang Yang had initially forced her, although strictly speaking, it was not a conquest, but rather a transaction. However, in Li Lei’s view, Zhang Yang was the type that easily attracted girls.
Because Li Lei herself felt like she had fallen for him, and she would often remember how intimate they were together.
This made Li Lei feel both ashamed and unable to extricate herself, uncontrollably indulging in wild thoughts.
Thus, Li Lei believed that Zhang Yang must also be interested in Xu Caimei, and that’s why he made his move.
Seeing the look in Li Lei’s eyes, Zhang Yang knew she didn’t believe his words.
Just like Wang Shufen, and even if he explained over and over, if she was subjectively disbelieving, all explanations were in vain.
Feeling extremely suffocated, this also aroused a rebellious spirit in Zhang Yang, and the next second, he suddenly grabbed Xu Caimei’s hand.
"Since you don’t believe it, I’ll just tell you the truth, we are a couple."
"Xu Caimei is my woman, and we do everything that couples do, eat together, watch movies, go shopping, and even check into hotels."
Zhang Yang’s words left the three people in the room incredibly shocked.
Xu Caimei’s face was full of surprise, she never expected Zhang Yang to suddenly agree.
Li Lei felt somewhat disappointed, and even more thought it was absurd.
The most furious was Xu Yang, who almost flipped the table.
"Zhang Yang you bastard, I warn you to stay away from my sister or else I’ll make you pay."
Zhang Yang smirked, "How will you make me pay? Want to hit me? Seems you’ve forgotten the pain after the scar healed."
Zhang Yang even motioned Xu Yang with his fingers, his face full of provocation.
At that moment, Zhang Yang looked just like a villain, like a really powerful antagonist.
The mischievous look in Xu Caimei’s eyes was simply too enchanting, and truly captivating.
Even Li Lei thought so, indeed confirming the old saying, "Women don’t love men who aren’t bad."
So arrogant, so bad, yet so likable.
Zhang Yang was just going for broke, adopting an attitude of letting things be, since explanations wouldn’t clear it up, might as well go down this path fully.
Xu Yang was left speechless by Zhang Yang’s retorts, not daring to lay a finger on him even if given a hundred chances.
"What nonsense are you spouting, manipulating my sister’s feelings and you still think you’re in the right?"
Xu Yang angrily rebuked with a flushed face.
Zhang Yang, hugging Xu Caimei tightly with an even more provocative tone, said, "You think you can control everything? Even when it comes to natural needs?"
"What kind of person I am, Xu Caimei knows very well. Since Xu Caimei has no issues and still wants to be with me, what right have you to talk nonsense here?"
Xu Yang instantly became even more furious, "Let go of her now."
Xu Caimei’s waist was truly slim, fair, and attractive, which Xu Yang had long lusted after.
He couldn’t believe that the thing he loved but couldn’t have was now being touched and held by Zhang Yang.
He couldn’t stand but stand up, as did Li Lei.
"Zhang Yang, let go of my hand first, I need to ask some questions before we proceed."
Instead of letting go, Zhang Yang hugged Xu Caimei even tighter, making her sit on his lap.
Xu Caimei couldn’t help but blush; this was the first time a boy had held her .
She felt both shy and nervous, but at the same time, she felt a strong sense of security from his overbearing attitude, which she couldn’t resist at all.
Seeing Zhang Yang being so overbearing, Li Lei, somewhat angrily said: "Zhang Yang, don’t be too much, Caiwei hasn’t even graduated from university yet."
"Do you think what you’re doing is appropriate? Maybe Caiwei really likes you, but if you can’t take responsibility for her, then don’t play with a woman’s feelings carelessly."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang retorted, "How do you know I’m not responsible?"
"Because you have a girlfriend already, can you really be responsible for every woman?" Li Lei replied, unwilling to show weakness.
Xu Yang then said, "Mom, stop bothering with this nonsense, I’m calling Uncle immediately to come and properly manage Xu Caiwei, and let my Uncle teach this guy a harsh lesson."
"Shut up, this is none of your business," Li Lei directly rebuked him.
Xu Yang looked at Li Lei with a face full of grievance, "Mom, why are you scolding me now, what did I say wrong?"
Li Lei didn’t want the situation to become more complicated; her current intention was just to make Zhang Yang back off knowing it’s tough.
She ignored her good-for-nothing son and stared intently at Zhang Yang, waiting for his reply.
Li Lei might not even realize that she was also curious about what kind of answer Zhang Yang would give, how he would take responsibility for all the ambiguous relationships.
Zhang Yang also decided to carry through his playboy attitude to the end.
So, in a very unabashed tone, he said, "I can’t understand what kind of responsibility you’re talking about? Marriage? Or what?"
"But none of that matters to me, I think it’s enough for two people to be together happily, it’s a mutual feeling, there’s no issue of who is letting down whom."
"I can responsibly say that Xu Caiwei can leave me at any time, but the time she spends with me will definitely be happy and blessed."
"At the very least, I’ll make her feel that even if we don’t marry, she can still be happy."
Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Xu Caiwei’s eyes lit up. If she had been somewhat conflicted before, she was truly relieved now.
In this day and age, with frequent break-ups and make-ups between men and women, who can guarantee a perfectly clean past for one’s spouse?
At least with Zhang Yang, everything is transparent, and who can ensure that marriage will definitely bring happiness?
Otherwise, the divorce rate wouldn’t be so high now.
Seize the day; being happy together is enough.
These words not only enlightened Xu Caiwei, but they also upliftingly impacted the always conflicted Li Lei.
Only Xu Yang sneered on the side, "What kind of nonsense is that? If you say such morally wrong things in public, won’t people beat you up?"
Zhang Yang did not deny that his values might not be acceptable to the general public.
But what does that matter? He doesn’t live for others.
So still very assertive, he dominantly said, "This is the situation, you can try to stop me from being with Xu Caiwei, I won’t stop you."
"But when Xu Caiwei reaches out, I will hold on to her; similarly, if your attempts to separate us make Caimei unhappy, I won’t just sit idly by."
"So, is there anything else you want to ask?"
