"What benefits..."
An Nuan asked softly, instinctively turning her head away. She didn't believe there could be many benefits for her. As a star, getting married too early would only bring her disadvantages, especially to a man of unknown origins. Just because he was wealthy didn't mean she had to submit to him.
"I can help you become famous."
His mad words left An Nuan at a loss.
Fame was indeed something she had always dreamed of. In this industry, having fame and popularity equated to money. She wouldn't have to worry about her mother's gambling debts anymore. She wouldn't have to struggle as she did now.
But to achieve fame by giving herself to a man...
How was that any different from Xiao Ruoyu?
Did she really want to become the kind of person she despised the most?
"The conditions are tempting."
An Nuan smiled faintly, having to admit that the offer was indeed alluring for her current situation. However...
"I didn't know that with my swollen face, I still had such great appeal."
Even without looking, she knew her current appearance was far from good.
This man lacked neither money nor women; why was he so intent on pursuing her?
"You underestimate yourself too much."
Ye Yunfeng's lips curled into a smirk, and An Nuan looked at him in confusion. "Why does it have to be me? If you wanted, there would be plenty of people willing to throw themselves at you. How about this... I can help you find someone else. The check you promised me hasn't been filled out yet; it should be enough for you to find someone with better conditions."
"Oh?"
Ye Yunfeng pinched her chin, a glimmer of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"Not filled out?"
It was surprising that she could still be here taking slaps instead of filling in a number on a check to withdraw money, given the difficulty of the situation.
"Lu An Nuan, do you need a reason?"
"Yes."
She never believed in free lunches from the sky.
Even less did she believe that she would be the lucky one.
"Alright."
Ye Yunfeng's lips curled slightly. "If you really need a reason, I can only say... you're foolish."
"......"
An Nuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
What kind of reason was that?
But Ye Yunfeng didn’t give her much time to ponder.
Stepping back and releasing her, he leisurely adjusted his cuffs. Even such a simple action was executed with an elegance that was pleasing to the eye.
He was not only a man with an outstanding appearance but also one who exuded refinement and nobility.
However, the more exceptional he was, the less she understood why he had taken an interest in her.
Marriage?
A person like him, even if he were to marry, should not choose someone like her, a performer in the entertainment industry whose reputation is questionable.
"Have you thought it through?"
After a long silence without a response from An Nuan, Ye Yunfeng appeared somewhat impatient.
He was a man of contradictions; one moment he spoke sweetly, and the next he showed signs of irritation. Yet, this conflicting temperament seemed to blend seamlessly within him, creating an odd sense of comfort.
"I am an actress."
"So?"
"I'm not clean. Since I can kiss you freely in a bar, my private life must be far from pristine. Aren't you afraid that after we marry, I might betray you and bring shame to your noble status?"
Such concerns should be enough to make him hesitate.
People in the entertainment industry go unnoticed when they are not popular. When they do become famous, all sorts of scandals arise; it's nothing new.
"Though it's my first time, I at least know whether the person I'm with is a virgin. Besides, I want to see who in this circle would dare to betray me."
