The sound of water gushing made Gu Xiao Xiao, who was in a deep sleep, slowly open her eyes.
She had a splitting headache. However, that wasn’t the place that hurt the most.
She moved her body slowly and a storm of soreness and aching swept over her. She subconsciously grabbed onto the bedsheet. Then, her entire body froze.
Where was she?
The sound of water from the bathroom had stopped and was replaced by the sound of approaching footsteps.
Simultaneous to the moment the stranger pushed open the door to enter, Gu Xiao Xiao flung herself into a sitting position and clenched onto the duvet before her.
They exchanged glances. One was comfortable and at ease. The other was frightened and unsettled.
Chu Yi Chen had a bath towel wrapped around his waist and his strong chest was bluntly exposed in the air. He wiped down his hair as he watched Gu Xiao Xiao’s furious reaction.
He was tall and has a perfect visage. His narrow and black eyes were flickering with a type of coldness that scared Gu Xiao Xiao. His lips were curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He was the best looking man Gu Xiao Xiao has ever seen and she has never expected to be able to interact with someone like this.
“Did you happen to forget what happened last night?” Refusing to give Gu Xiao Xiao a chance to sort out her thoughts, he walked over to the bed and peered down onto Gu Xiao Xiao. His voice was graceful and low, extremely pleasant to the ear.
Gu Xiao Xiao was gawking at him in a daze before she caught herself and snapped out of it.
“You… me… us…”
“What about us?” Chu Yi Chen sat onto the bed.
The giant bed sank down, making Gu Xiao Xiao lean towards Chu Yi Chen. The moment the man tried to grab onto Gu Xiao Xiao’s wrist, she wrestled him away and cursed, “Pervert!”
Chu Yi Chen was extremely unhappy with Gu Xiao Xiao calling him names.
With strength, he dragged this uncooperative little woman before him and pressed down onto her. Chu Yi Chen leaned down and chuckled coldly into her ear.
“The person who held onto me and refused to let go last night was you. If you forgot, I am willing to help you remember.” Then, Chu Yi Chen gently bit down on Gu Xiao Xiao’s earlobe.
With her wrist in his hand, Gu Xiao Xiao could not move. As she listened to his words, her entire body felt cold.
Mu Yun Fan, Jin Jing, alcohol.
Gu Xiao Xiao’s last memory was stuck at the scene where she stood outside the banquet hall after drinking.
“Baby, stop struggling. That little boyfriend of yours and his fiancée has sold you. Three hundred thousand.”
Chu Yi Chen ruthlessly revealed the truth to Gu Xiao Xiao.
“The wine you drank last night was roofied.”
The last protective barrier Gu Xiao Xiao formed crumbled after Chu Yi Chen spoke. What had she done that was so wrong? Why did they have to treat her like this?!
Tears uncontrollably escaped her eyes. Gu Xiao Xiao looked at the young man before her in her blurred vision.
“Three hundred thousand a night… am I worth it?” Gu Xiao Xiao’s trembling voice made Chu Yi Chen frown. She was now completely hopeless as she self-mocked, “For someone rich like you, there’s nothing money can’t buy you eh?”
Chu Yi Chen did not answer. He merely looked over at Gu Xiao Xiao in silence. The quiet atmosphere was a little suffocating.
“It is morning now,” Gu Xiao Xiao said in a voice so quiet even she herself couldn’t hear it.
Chu Yi Chen raised an eyebrow and quickly grasped onto what she was trying to say.
Three hundred thousand dollars a night meant that the moment the sun rises, their deal was over.
Chu Yi Chen smiled eerily. His smile made Gu Xiao Xiao fluster. She felt like the man before her was far too profound for her to understand.
“Did I say that the person who bought you was me?” Gawking at Gu Xiao Xiao without blinking an eye, Chu Yi Chen was very satisfied with her reaction. “You were the one who willingly pounced on me and asked me to take you away. Last night, you were also the one who begged me to not leave. It is morning now so the trade is over and we now have nothing to do with each other, is that right?”
Gu Xiao Xiao’s embarrassment turned into anger. She took a deep breath and wanted to argue, but her memory was blank. She was furious at Mu Yun Fan’s betrayal and sad over her lost virginity. She couldn’t form a single sentence.
Chu Yi Chen looked at how disappointed she was and decided to let her go easy. He left the room and when he returned, he returned with her clothes.
Gu Xiao Xiao took over the clothes and after watching Chu Yi Chen leave, Gu Xiao Xiao got dressed and walked out of the room.
In the living room, Chu Yi Chen was calling someone while standing on the balcony. After hearing Gu Xiao Xiao’s footsteps, he turned around and saw her putting on her shoes and leaving. He hung up the phone.
“You are planning to leave just like that?”
Gu Xiao Xiao stared at the questioner in a confused stated and questioned back, “Or what?”
Right after she spoke, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something. She flipped through her backpack and walked before Chu Yi Chen.
“This is all I have.” She offered the money and thought Chu Yi Chen’s expression was a little ugly. “If it’s not enough, well, there’s not much I can do. You are a man. For this to happen you really have nothing to lose.”
Though she didn’t say the words directly, Gu Xiao Xiao’s actions had indicated that she had thought of him as a pimp. Chu Yi Chen stared at the little thing before him and was stifled.
“You don’t want it?” Gu Xiao Xiao retracted her hand, “Alright, then I am leaving now.”
Under Chu Yi Chen’s watchful eyes, Gu Xiao Xiao once again walked to the door. She crouched down to put on her shoes and was preparing to leave.
Suddenly, a thought flashed into her head. Then, she quickly looked over to Chu Yi Chen, who was standing before the giant window.
“Are you married?”
Chu Yi Chen didn’t expect her to ask such a question. He paused and then shook his head.
“Do you want to take me as your wife?”
