Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 247 - 130: 50 Million Copyright Fee, Little Moon’s K

"Little Moon, I will get you out of there. I promise."

Zhong Tingyue stopped crying. For the first ti since she learned this news in high school, a smile of relief appeared on her face.

"Li Yuan, I believe you. I’ll be waiting for that day to co."

Li Yuan didn’t press for details. He could already guess what it would take to rescue Little Moon from the intricate web woven by the unique clan relationships of the Jiangnan region.

"Li Yuan, do you know how desperate I was when I overheard this during a fight between my parents in my first year of high school? I even thought about giving up on myself, about ending it all.

"But I couldn’t bear to leave my mother. She’s such a pitiable woman, and now she only has . If she lost , she wouldn’t be able to go on living. So I threw myself into my studies, working to improve my grades, silently accepting his arrangents, and learning music, dance, and piano...

"Thankfully, all my efforts weren’t in vain. After I got to university, I finally t you."

Li Yuan hugged Zhong Tingyue tightly. In that instant, he understood why she had never dated in her past life, turning away every single one of her suitors.

There’s no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Back then, her heart must have already died.

She had beco a puppet controlled by her family.

How could a helpless young woman possibly break free from her family’s control, especially when her mother was her Achilles’ heel, holding her back? Even if she could run away, her personality was such that she would likely just silently accept the cruel twists of fate.

Li Yuan offered a comforting smile. "Little Moon, let’s work hard together. In the future, we’ll make them get on their knees and beg us."

Zhong Tingyue t Li Yuan’s gaze, her voice crisp and lodious, like pearls scattering across a jade plate. "Mm-hmm."

She extended a pale, jade-like arm, wrapping it around Li Yuan’s neck and taking the initiative to kiss him...

Li Yuan’s heart hamred in his chest. He picked her up and laid her down beside him, still holding her in his arms as he kissed her passionately...

Ti seed to lt away as they lost themselves in the mont, bathed in the afternoon sun.

As their passion deepened, Li Yuan’s hands began to wander again, caressing Zhong Tingyue’s killer long legs and stirring a heat within him.

"Li Yuan, what are you hiding here? It’s poking ."

Li Yuan’s face flushed, and he stamred, "Little Moon, do you really not know what that is?"

Zhong Tingyue suddenly realized what he ant. Her pretty face flushed a deep crimson as she glared at him and huffed coquettishly, "Senior, you’re doing this on purpose."

Li Yuan found her shyness amusing.

Girls like Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, and even Bai Weixi, who were all so inexperienced, reacted in the exact sa way to these things. That kind of pure shyness is sothing you only find in girls who’ve never been in a relationship. Once a girl knows too much about sex, or has been... ’awakened,’ that special feeling is gone.

"Heh heh, Little Moon, appetite is human nature," Li Yuan chuckled. "It’s your fault for being so beautiful I can’t help myself."

Zhong Tingyue glared at him and quickly covered her ears.

"Senior, you promised you’d spend the day with . Does your word still stand?"

Li Yuan grinned. "Of course. Today, I’m all yours. Do whatever you want with . I can perform for you, or I can even sell my body."

"Pah! Who would want you to sell your body?" Zhong Tingyue let out a playful scoff, then gave Li Yuan a serious look. She ran a hand over his firm abs and said with a giggle, "Though, I wouldn’t mind a performance."

Li Yuan sucked in a sharp breath. Little Moon’s hand seed to have a magical power, sending a jolt through him.

"Little Moon, how do you want to perform?"

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips, trying to hide a smile. "Write another song."

"I don’t want a sad one like ’Nanshan South.’ I want sothing sweet."

Of the four girls in his life, it seed only Xia Zhijin couldn’t sing. The other three were all quite multi-talented.

Little Fish was in a league of her own; with a voice so angelic it was as if God were personally feeding her talent, she could easily beco a superstar if she ever debuted. But she had no interest, purely enjoying books and music for their own sake.

Bai Weixi was also a good singer. While far from a professional level, she was outstanding among most girls.

Zhong Tingyue fell sowhere in between. Her rendition of "Nanshan South" that night had possessed its own unique charm.

Li Yuan ruffled Zhong Tingyue’s hair, then gently pinched her flawless, beautiful cheek. "Little Moon," he asked with a roguish smile, "if I write a song for you, how are you going to thank ?"

Zhong Tingyue playfully slapped his wandering hand away, her eyes curving into crescents as she grinned. "That depends on your performance."

Li Yuan felt a surge of excitent. Gazing at Zhong Tingyue’s ethereal beauty, he couldn’t stop the corners of his lips from turning up in a wicked smile. "And what if I perform well?"

Zhong Tingyue huffed. "Then I might agree to one of your requests, as long as it isn’t too overboard."

"Little Moon, what counts as ’too overboard’?" he pressed.

"You’ll have to guess," she humd lightly. "I’m not telling you."

Li Yuan chuckled and rubbed her head. His mind was already cycling through classic songs from his past life. Indeed, he knew a few sweet ones that would be perfect.

"Little Moon, let think on it when I get back, and I’ll write one for you."

Zhong Tingyue’s eyes lit up, bright as a blossoming flower. "Mm-hmm, alright!" she replied cheerfully. "I’ll be waiting for Big Writer Li’s new piece!"

Li Yuan glanced at the ti. It was around five in the afternoon.

"Little Moon, want to go sowhere else?"

"Senior, where are you planning to take ?" she asked curiously.

"Where do you want to go?" he countered.

She huffed sweetly. "Senior, don’t you make plans and an itinerary when you ask a girl on a date?"

Li Yuan felt a flush of embarrassnt. He really hadn’t thought that far ahead. After all, dating a girl was just about shopping, strolling around, watching a movie, and getting a al. If the relationship was far enough along, you’d add a trip to the hotel for the all-inclusive package, spend the night tilling the fertile fields, and the mission would be accomplished.

"Um, how about we go shopping for a bit?" he asked tentatively.

He wasn’t keen on shopping. In his past life, his most hated activity was accompanying his girlfriends shopping—any of them. Because shopping ant spending money, which was sheer tornt for a man with an empty wallet.

Now things were different. His wallet was full, and he could finally play the part of a big spender.

Li Yuan had expected Zhong Tingyue to agree, but to his surprise, she imdiately refused.

"Senior, I don’t really feel like shopping," she said with a giggle. "How about we go see a movie instead?"

"A movie?" Li Yuan was taken aback, a strange sense of absurdity washing over him. Don’t tell we’re going to watch ’WALL-E’ again? Between my past and present lives, I’ve seen it more than ten tis. Just in the last few days, I’ve seen "WALL-E" with both Xia Zhijin and now, potentially, Zhong Tingyue.

Though I’ve seen the movie plenty of tis, watching it with a different girlfriend is a completely different experience, I suppose. Besides, a movie theater really is a great place for a date. As long as you pay no attention to the film and keep your hands and mouth busy, it can be quite wonderful.
