Fang Yuqing's complexion shifted subtly.

After all, she was somewhat aware of her past actions.

But why would a little fairy like her feel embarrassed?

Especially when facing a backup option who was at her beck and call.

Even though Zhang Yi's attitude towards her remained cold, Fang Yuqing believed he was just playing hard to get.

She was convinced that Zhang Yi admired her, and with a little more effort, she could definitely win him over.

So, she cooed, "I did those things in the past for your sake, Zhang Yi brother! Don't be so petty!"

"Can we just say Qing'er was wrong? I'll go and apologize to you right now."

As she spoke, she gently bit her lip, her cheeks unexpectedly flushing with a hint of red.

"If it's really too much, I can massage your legs or rub your shoulders!"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn!"

In such cold weather, it was rare for her to display such exquisite acting skills, portraying the feeling of a shy girl.

It was a waste of talent not to be an actress!

Unfortunately, Zhang Yi wasn't falling for it.

"How could that be appropriate? We're not boyfriend and girlfriend, doing such intimate things, I can't accept it."

Zhang Yi said sternly, "I am a traditional person!"

Fang Yuqing was nearly driven mad by his words.

She was practically throwing herself at him, and he was still playing coy?

Did she really need to spell it out for him?

As long as she could live in his house, there would be plenty of benefits, and even rounding the bases wasn't entirely out of the question.

She thought maybe she hadn't made herself clear enough.

To be able to enter Zhang Yi's house and live like heaven on earth, she didn't care that Lin Caining was right there.

She directly said to Zhang Yi, "Zhang Yi brother, I've always had a special fondness for you."

"Being boyfriend and girlfriend, that's not something we couldn't consider in the future!"

"After all, familiarity breeds fondness, right?"

Saying this, she pretended to be shy, covering her face, "Oh my, I'm so embarrassed. How much more direct do you want me to be?"

Her demure appearance, coupled with her coy glances, was indeed very tempting.

If it were the old Zhang Yi, he would have let her into his house without a second thought.

It has to be said, not just anyone can play the role of a Green tea White Lotus.

Such tea ceremony skills couldn't be achieved without a decade of practice.

Zhang Yi quickly pondered in his mind.

Should he let Fang Yuqing, the White Lotus, enter his home?

Don't get him wrong, he was no saint.

He just thought, since he had pursued her for two years before, if he could round the bases and thoroughly punish her, it would be a closure for the past.

But this thought only flashed by before he firmly dismissed it.

Because it was the apocalypse, any potential risk had to be completely eliminated!

So, he wouldn't open his door and let others into his fortress-like home.

Survival was more important than anything!

Zhang Yi sneered, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Fang Yuqing.

"Fang Yuqing, have you misunderstood something?"

He spread his hands and said, "I admit, there was a time when we got along quite well."

"But," he leaned closer to the camera, his face mocking, "you don't think I liked you, do you?"

For a self-assured Green tea White Lotus, that was a devastating blow!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Fang Yuqing's face turned extremely ugly.

Lin Caining also stole a glance at her, her eyes carrying an imperceptible glee.

Indeed, besties are often like plastic flowers.

They pretend to care for your sake, but in reality, many are eager to see you make a fool of yourself.

Fang Yuqing challenged, "Zhang Yi brother, what... what do you mean? Didn't you used to like Qing'er the most?"

Zhang Yi scoffed.

"Don't get me wrong, you are quite pretty, a beautiful girl. But I never intended to date you, it was just for fun."

"With my conditions, finding a good-looking and well-shaped girlfriend in Tianhai City is not difficult at all."

"You... pfft, where do you get the confidence to think I'm desperately pursuing you?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh.

He was telling the truth; as a local from Tianhai City with a household registration there.

With a house worth millions and savings of the same, plus a stable job with a monthly salary over ten thousand.

Not to mention his tall and handsome appearance, he was a prime catch on the Tianhai City dating scene!

Otherwise, Fang Yuqing wouldn't have listed him as her top choice after failing to land a wealthy husband.

If it weren't for Zhang Yi's naivety and kindness in his past life, he would have changed girlfriends countless times by now.

Zhang Yi's words were like knives, piercing directly into Fang Yuqing's heart.

For a self-proclaimed goddess White Lotus, the most unbearable thing was not being recognized for her charm, as that was her entire means of survival.

In the past, she saw Zhang Yi as a backup simp.

She could keep him on the hook while looking for richer second-generation wealthy men.

But in the end, Zhang Yi told her that she was just a fish in the pond.

This was something Fang Yuqing could not accept at all!

Her angry voice changed, "Zhang Yi! You... don't go too far!"

Zhang Yi sneered, increasing the pressure.

"Enough, enough, don't pretend to be some pure and innocent girl with me."

"I've seen through you long ago, you're just a gold-digger, always thinking about landing a rich husband. Do you think wealthy people are fools?"

"Oh, and let me tell you something. You're quite famous among Tianhai City's second-generation wealthy."

"Today you're fawning over Young Master Zhang, tomorrow chasing Young Master Li. They just play with you for a few days, and you really think you can become a rich man's wife?"

"Do you know what they call you behind your back? Public bus, universal socket!"

Zhang Yi mocked Fang Yuqing without restraint.

While she thought her charm was high and tried to move Zhang Yi with her beauty, hoping to enjoy the benefits of his home.

Fang Yuqing's face turned pale with fright, her body trembling with rage.

When had she ever been so humiliated to her face!

And by a backup simp she looked down upon, no less, ridiculed without mercy.

This was a brutal assault on her pride!

"Zhang Yi! Shut up!"

Fang Yuqing roared.

Zhang Yi chuckled, "I'm just telling the truth, why are you so agitated?"

"Isn't this all your own doing? You're playing both sides."

After saying that, Zhang Yi didn't give Fang Yuqing a chance to retort and cut off the call.
