"You don't want your parents to know about this, right?"
As soon as Qi Lin got into the car, he casually took out a pack of 1916 cigarettes from the side storage compartment.
He skillfully pulled out a cigarette, sniffed it lightly under his nose, then lit it and exhaled a smooth smoke ring.
In his previous life, after his family went bankrupt, Qi Lin was so poor that he could barely afford a meal, let alone smoke 1916 cigarettes.
So, Qi Lin began to really enjoy everything he had in this life.
In the closed air-conditioned space, the cigarette smoke was so huge to the point where Wang Siling could barely open her eyes, but it didn't stop her from being slightly stunned.
Listening to Qi Lin's tone, why did it not sound like a negotiation but rather carried a sense of threat?
"I don't want to."
But Wang Siling had already made a mistake, so she couldn't do anything but nod obediently.
Her family's conditions were average, and her parents were already struggling to put her and her big brother through school.
If her parents found out that she had scratched someone's luxury car and had to pay a large sum of money as compensation, she didn't know how anxious they would be.
"If you don't want to, then agree to my condition. If you agree to my condition, I can waive the compensation."
Qi Lin flicked the cigarette ash and smiled lightly.
Here, Qi Lin left a verbal trap in his words.
He said 'waive' but didn't specify whether it was waived partially or totally.
"What condition?"
Although Wang Siling was only a sophomore in high school, she was quite intelligent.
'Asking to agree obediently' wasn't a good term, and the threat was already obvious.
Thinking of this, Wang Siling became nervous all at once.
Qi Lin glanced up and down at Wang Siling’s body, smiling as he asked.
"W-what do you... what do you want?"
Qi Lin's gaze immediately revealed his intentions, which frightened Wang Siling. She looked timid, shrinking against the window like a scared rabbit.
"I don't want much. Didn't you scratch my car? As long as you kiss me, I can waive the compensation."
Like a cunning wolf, Qi Lin finally revealed his sharp fangs.
Upon hearing Qi Lin's words, Wang Siling was dumbfounded.
There were people who liked her.
Like Yu Chen, many boys sent her love letters. But none of them threatened her upon first meeting, saying they wanted a kiss. This was the first time for Wang Siling.
Wang Siling was shocked. She shook her head repeatedly, "No!"
"Why not?"
Qi Lin extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray.
"Brother Qi Lin, my parents don't allow me to fall in love. They said I can only do so after I go to college."
Wang Siling said with a hint of tears.
"What era is it now, and you still listen to your mom and dad so much?"
"Besides, I didn't want to fall in love with you. I merely talked to you about compensation. Aren't you thinking so highly of yourself?"
Qi Lin raised his hand and placed it on Wang Siling's shoulder.
"Ah!"
Wang Siling was startled and quickly shook off Qi Lin's hand.
Then, she looked at Qi Lin with an angry expression.
Not wanting to date her but simply wanting to take advantage of her, was this something a normal boy would say?
"Brother Qi Lin, aren't you friends with my brother? You wouldn't bully your good friend's sister, right?"
"And... and my brother has told me before that Brother Qi Lin is a kind and righteous person, so what you said just now, are you joking with me?"
Wang Siling tried hard not to cry.
She secretly grasped the door handle, trying to see if the door would open.
But it was futile.
Qi Lin had locked the door from the inside, so unless Qi Lin was willing, Wang Siling couldn't open the car door.
Another moral kidnapping?
Upon hearing Wang Siling's words, Qi Lin couldn't help but laugh.
In his previous life, it was also Wang Siling who scratched his car, but because she was Wang Cheng's sister, Qi Lin didn't hold her accountable.
But what happened later? How did Wang Cheng treat Qi Lin?
In this life, Qi Lin would never make such a dumb mistake again.
"It's exactly because you're my good friend's sister that I want to get closer to you."
"Furthermore, how can your brother lie with his eyes open? I'm clearly a playboy from the second rich generation living off my family's wealth. Bullying others is my hobby. Kindness and righteousness have nothing to do with me."
As Qi Lin spoke, he held Wang Siling's fair and delicate hand that she had pushed away.
It was cold, delicate, and with a few beads of sweat due to nervousness.
Seeing Qi Lin hold her hand, Wang Siling suddenly became flustered and was about to pull away.
"Think carefully before making a decision. After this, there will be no room for negotiation."
Qi Lin's tone was light.
Wang Siling's face froze for a moment. Her expression was full of grievances, but her delicate hand dared not move anymore.
A twelve thousand yuan repair cost was simply something a sophomore girl couldn't afford.
"Brother Qi Lin, I already... I already have... a boyfriend."
Wang Siling gritted her teeth, trying to drop a bomb to get Qi Lin to let her go.
"Boyfriend? That annoying jerk?"
Qi Lin smiled casually, playing with Wang Siling's delicate hand.
Wang Siling's cheeks turned slightly red, and her expression was quite unnatural as she nodded.

T/N:
Acctually this term “Moral Kidnapping” is a direct translation from a Chinese term/concept, which means to use moral value to threaten/force/give pressure to others so that they will do the thing you ask them to do (kind of like you kidnap someone's moral value and force them to agree with yours).
