Where did Lu An Nuan find such good fortune to receive his concern?
Deep down, she felt there was something hidden, a sense that she hadn’t yet reached the level of deserving his care. What kind of love could there be between them?
“If you need me to do anything, just let me know in advance. It’ll save me from overthinking and causing you any trouble.”
“What are you overthinking about?”
Ye Yunfeng pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him. An Nuan took a deep breath, “It’s nothing, I’m just afraid…”
Afraid of gradually sinking into this emotional whirlpool.
When she was at her lowest, in desperate need of help, a man who offered her warmth, care, and affection appeared by her side. She couldn’t guarantee that she could control her heart.
Especially since he was such an outstanding man.
She knew it might be like a moth to a flame, yet she couldn’t help but want to draw closer.
“We are husband and wife.”
Ye Yunfeng sighed lightly, emphasizing the words “husband and wife” once more.
A warm current flowed through An Nuan’s heart as she repeatedly whispered to herself, “Husband and wife…”
What a comforting pair of words; could they truly be like ordinary couples without any suspicion?
“Since we are husband and wife, my fifty million compensation…”
Since he had said that, she mustered her courage to resolve the matter. If she let a husband like him go, she would truly be a fool. Besides, he had... that cunning old fox had already taken advantage of her and was now deliberately leading her in circles.
"Fifty million?"
Ye Yunfeng's lips curled into a sly smile. "Wife, asking for fifty million after just one night is too expensive..."
"You!"
An Nuan raised her hand and angrily pushed him away, her face flushed with both shame and anger.
What did he mean by that?
Did he think of her as someone to be sold?
She indeed was in this line of work, but if Xing Hui's shareholders weren't him, she could shamelessly demand what she wanted. She could even endure insults from others. But when it came to this man, Ye Yunfeng, she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.
"I understand. I'm leaving now."
"An Nuan!"
Seeing her get out of bed, Ye Yunfeng grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his embrace. "You silly girl."
Ye Yunfeng cursed under his breath while An Nuan turned her face away from him.
"I know I'm foolish—foolish enough to fall into your trap without realizing it, even feeling smug about my supposed success. I'll find a way to pay you back the fifty million."
"Find a way? What can you do? Your first plan is to sell yourself; what other plans can you come up with?"
The night wind howled, and what was initially meant to be playful teasing turned into a surge of inexplicable anger as he looked at her.
After all, she was just a woman he had slept with twice; at most, she was a woman he had obtained a marriage certificate with. As long as he wanted, that piece of paper meant nothing. He could discard it at any time.
When she mentioned wanting to dive into the stock market, he felt a surge of frustration but held it back. After all, he was the one who had agreed to it, and deep down, he still wanted to support her.
Now, she actually said she wanted to find a way to pay him back? He felt an urge to crack open her head and see what was going on in her mind.
Pay him back?
Could she really do that?
Money could be returned, but...
He knew he shouldn't entertain certain thoughts, yet he couldn't help himself.
Night Yunfeng, you really are...
Grinding his teeth, he glared fiercely at the little woman in front of him. An Nuan trembled under his cold gaze.
"What do you want me to do? Should I just stand by and watch Shuo Shuo get bullied without doing anything?"
