I am not just a tycoon

"Stop, stop, stop. If you keep this up, my sister will come out."

Lih Meng's cheeks flushed with embarrassed anger, and she hurriedly held onto Shen Yuan's hands.

Shen Yuan withdrew his hands: "Alright then, the night is long, no rush at this moment."

Lih Meng fastened the top button of her pajamas: "You don't think you'll get to stay over tonight, do you? My sister might have softened, but she's not going to let you sleep over."

"I have my ways, and if worse comes to worst, I can sleep on the couch."

Shen Yuan thought to himself that he had never failed to stay at a girl's house if he wished. He wrapped his arms around Lih Meng's waist and pinched her cute nose: "So, little Mengmeng, have you been missing me lately?"

"Don't flatter yourself. I've been too busy to think about you every day."

Lih Meng purposefully picked up her phone and answered with disinterest.

Shen Yuan tickled her waist: "Heh, busy doing what? Busy watching little movies, or busy with your purple moods?"

"Ah, stop tickling! I'm really ticklish."

Lih Meng wriggled uncomfortably, covering her waist and moving to the side to avoid.

Through the smooth fabric of the pajamas, feeling her slender waist twisting in his hand, Shen Yuan felt a tingling sensation himself.

After messing around for a while, Shen Yuan finally slowly stopped, this time behaving and hugging her: "So tell me."

Lih Meng, held in his embrace, suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security, but also a bit aggrieved, and sniffled: "Yes, I did think of you. But what's the use? You're busy all day, never messaging or calling me. And on the rare occasions you do contact me, it's to ask about my sister."

Shen Yuan ruffled her hair: "I'm here to apologize today, aren't I?"

"Pfft, apologize to me my foot, you're clearly here to charm my sister! You bad man, you're too wicked!"

Lih Meng pounded on Shen Yuan's chest several times with force, her hands throbbing before she slowly let go.

Shen Yuan wiped away her tears: "Alright, I'll keep you company tonight, don't be unhappy. There, I'll try to find time to text or call you more often."

"You better mean it."

Lih Meng lifted her delicate chin to look at him.

"Pinky swear."

Shen Yuan extended his little finger.

"Childish, I'm not pinky swearing with you."

Lih Meng's face expressed disdain, yet she felt quite satisfied at heart, and continued: "My sister asked if you've eaten."

Without hesitation, Shen Yuan said, "Just tell her I haven't. I was about to eat when I got the call and rushed right over."

Lih Meng scornfully replied: "How hypocritical, exploiting my sister's sympathies, betting that she won't let you go hungry."

"The small trick of self-inflicted injury has amused Princess Mengmeng."

"Heh, when others use this tactic, they really suffer. Where have you suffered? You came here on a full stomach, right?"

Shen Yuan flicked her forehead: "Think about it, although I'm full now, your sister will definitely feed me later, and she's probably going to give me quite a bit. Having to eat again on a full stomach, isn't that suffering?"

Lih Meng stood up: "Nonsense! Whatever, I'm going to find my sister."

"Go ahead."

Shen Yuan slapped her pert bottom.

Although little Mengmeng's bum isn't as sumptuous as her sister Xue'er's, it has its own charm.

Not too big or small, perfectly peachy and very bouncy, always tempting Shen Yuan to give it a pat.

Lih Meng stepped out, then turned back and lowered her head, batting her eyes: "Then it's settled, you have to keep me company all night long."

"Rest assured."

Shen Yuan gave an "OK" gesture, thinking to himself that getting into her sister's room tonight is unrealistic, so little Mengmeng was the lucky one.

.....

Lih Meng walked to Lih Xiao's room, gently knocked on the door: "Sister, here I am."

Lih Xiao opened the door: "What took you so long?"

"I asked Shen Yuan and then went to the bathroom."

Lih Meng said solemnly, but in her heart thought how she's become just like Shen Yuan, telling lies without a blush or a heartbeat.

"Did he say he's eaten?"

"Sister, you don't need to worry about him; even if he's hungry, he'll find something."

Lih Meng thought that guy had a full belly when he came, no need to worry about him, Shen Yuan really is a scoundrel, always exploiting Sister's soft heart.

"We don't have snacks at home, and even if we did, he wouldn't know where they are. So, has he eaten or not?"

"He hasn't."

"Alright then, I'll cook."

Lih Xiao rolled up her sleeves, ready to leave.

"Sister, have you forgiven him?"

"Of course not, one thing at a time. I'm just cooking a meal, don't overthink it."

"Oh."

Lih Meng pouted, thinking Sister's words are merely self-deception, probably she's already softened inside.

Lih Xiao probably thought her little sister was worried she'd forgive him too easily and reassured: "Don't worry, I really haven't forgiven him. Although we're not in a romantic relationship right now, we're still teacher-student; having a meal is no big deal, plus he came rushing over today for me, so it's only right to cook as thanks."

"Okay then."

Lih Meng thought to herself that Shen Yuan was going to get his way. She knew her sister too well; despite what she said, it's quite likely she had already talked herself around.

Strangely, when the two were apart, she was worried about them breaking up, and now that they may reconcile, she felt a sense of loss.

.....

Lih Xiao walked out of the bedroom and headed straight for the kitchen without glancing at Shen Yuan in the living room.

Shen Yuan looked at Lih Xiao's graceful retreating figure, thinking Teacher Lih still cared for him, willing to cook so late after work.

After sitting quietly on the couch for a few minutes, Shen Yuan walked to the kitchen doorway and silently watched Teacher Lih busily washing and chopping vegetables.

With delicate facial features on her oval face, her watery eyes full of concentration, her elegant nose graced with black-framed glasses, exuding an air of scholarly charm.
