"You're being silly!"
Xu Bin started to break down her defenses, gently cupping her cheek. Her skin was soft and smooth, but her cheeks were flushed and hot.
Yao Le'er shivered slightly but didn't pull away from this intimate touch. She stared at him defiantly, her expression determined to get an answer. She was a studious girl with a strong will and her own mind.
Looking at her stubborn expression, Xu Bin could see her lips trembling slightly, her breath quickening. He was close enough to kiss her, and it would be easy to give in to that urge. But thinking of the task's reward, he held back.
"Brother-in-law genuinely likes you and doesn't look down on you for that message," Xu Bin said softly.
Yao Le'er asked hesitantly, "Brother-in-law really doesn't look down on me?"
"Darling, you're just too sensitive. Can't you feel how much brother-in-law cares about you?"
Xu Bin took a step-by-step approach, first speaking tenderly and then backing it up with cold, harsh facts:
"Maintaining you for a month costs 3,000 yuan, and if you lose your virginity, it's an additional 4,000. If we're talking about money, brother-in-law has already spent more on you than that."
"If brother-in-law looked down on you, he would have threatened you into doing something sexual first before spending money, right? He wouldn't be wooing you like this."
Over the past few days, the various fees and expenses had added up to over ten thousand yuan, and Yao Le'er was well aware of that.
This logic was sound, and Yao Le'er's expression softened. Xu Bin took advantage of the moment, pulling her head onto his shoulder and soothing her gently:
"If brother-in-law looked down on you and wanted to take advantage, he could have been straightforward about the price or used that secret to blackmail you, right? He could have offered you 7,000 yuan in cash, making it more tempting."
"Do you know why brother-in-law didn't do that?"
Yao Le'er's body relaxed, and she could feel the strength and warmth of his body. Her emotional state was reflected in her physical response.
These words were practical and direct. Yao Le'er was no naive fool and knew that Xu Bin was telling the truth.
If Xu Bin had used money to tempt her, she might have hesitated, but given their relationship, she wasn't sure she could resist.
"Why, brother-in-law is such a pervert!"
Yao Le'er's voice softened, taking on a childish, coquettish tone that sent a shiver down Xu Bin's spine. This was the famous "little milk voice," soft and sweet, making every part of him tingle with excitement.
Inhaling her intoxicating scent, Xu Bin was already aroused, but he continued to tease her:
"Because you're a treasure to brother-in-law, and he wants to pursue you like a boyfriend would, not taint his goddess with money."
These words were cheesy, something Xu Bin would never have said before. But women are creatures of sound, and Yao Le'er shivered at his words, murmuring:
"You're such a tease, brother-in-law. How can you pursue me when you're my sister's husband?"
"How can I not? My darling Yao Le'er is so cute and beautiful!"
Xu Bin took advantage of her confusion to brainwash her:
"Brother-in-law just wants to be good to you. The happier you are, the happier I am."
His emotional words made her body even softer, and any initial resistance she had was now gone.
"Brother-in-law... I'm a bit confused. You're making me feel..."
"Brother-in-law hasn't done anything wrong. You're not a child anymore. Holding hands and touching your feet, is that so bad?"
His logic was strong but twisted. With his previous words as a foundation, Yao Le'er was stunned, her mind racing. As a straight-A student, she was logical and always sought comparisons.
As Ai Jia had said, being played by an old man and losing her virginity was worth only a few thousand yuan.
But Xu Bin had spent so much on her without asking for anything in return. If it weren't for their relationship, this wouldn't make sense.
Any man wouldn't spend this much money without expecting something in return. She was only tense because he was her brother-in-law.
Xu Bin was gentle and considerate, and he was always good to her.
Maybe she was being childish, thinking that holding hands and touching feet was a big deal. Xu Bin was an experienced man and probably found these actions satisfying.
Yao Le'er suddenly felt guilty. Xu Bin hadn't used their secret to blackmail her and had been nothing but kind. Why was she still so guarded?
"Brother-in-law..."
Yao Le'er's voice was softer and sweeter, her face red as she asked, "Um, has Miaomiao said anything about me?"
Her thoughts were in turmoil, and she was having second thoughts. Comparing the second-hand Android phone she might get to the brand-new iPhone 14, she suddenly worried that Miaomiao might have said something bad about her to Xu Bin. If he got angry and stopped being nice to her, she wouldn't be able to handle it, even without considering the money.
In their family, she was at the bottom of the food chain, and her mother was a tyrannical figure. Her father had barely been involved in her life, leaving her craving paternal love.
Xu Bin was the first person to treat her this well, spending real money on her and always considering her feelings. He hadn't made any inappropriate advances, always accommodating her and letting her call him a pervert.
Xu Bin knew he was on the right track when he heard the notification in his mind.
Yao Le'er's affection level had increased to 70% (Intimate Relationship)!
Her status read: Touched, Guilty, Joyful, Happy.
(Maintain this momentum, and she'll initiate the kiss!)
Xu Bin smirked, thinking that after all that flattery, she still hadn't initiated the kiss. He wanted that reward.
Even if the result of the blind box was unknown, the pheromone (male) was currently useless, but it had proven effective in winning over women, especially with his mother-in-law.
"My little darling is curious. Miaomiao added me on WeChat, so you want to know what she said, right?"
Sweet words were enough; it was time for a change in strategy.
"Brother-in-law, I want to see!"
Yao Le'er pouted, her voice trembling with anticipation, "Brother-in-law, please show me, okay?"
"But if Miaomiao complains to me, I'll be in trouble."
Xu Bin acted hesitant, continuing to build her anticipation.
Yao Le'er's face turned red, and she blurted out, "I don't care! I'm your little darling, not her. Brother-in-law, you can't favor her over me!"
"Darling, let's change positions so I can hold you while I show you."
"Okay!"
Yao Le'er agreed eagerly. Xu Bin sat on the edge of the bed, and she hesitantly sat on his lap, her back to him.
Her round, firm buttocks surprised him, and as she sat down, she felt something hard press against her lower back and buttocks through his pants.
