Ye Yunfeng deliberately paused, observing the subtle shift in Ye Meiqi's expression as a hint of nervousness crept in. Yet, she still refused to concede.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Yunfeng remained calm and unhurried.
There was a particular satisfaction in exposing an enemy's weaknesses or lies, especially as he watched their mental unraveling unfold gradually.
"If it's discovered that this item doesn't belong to Miss Ye, wouldn't we be able to charge her with fraud?"
Ye Yunfeng spoke slowly, each word heavy with implication.
Fraud?
A sum of fifty million.
It was enough to land her in prison for several years.
Ye Meiqi trembled, her face paling instantly.
Her hands shook as she glanced at the check in Ye Yunfeng's hand, but she didn't dare to reach for it.
This man was clearly not making idle threats; he must have a backup plan. Perhaps he was even recording their conversation right now. If he submitted evidence along with proof of her accepting the check, and it turned out that the gem wasn't truly hers, Ye Meiqi knew she wouldn't escape a prison sentence.
*Lu Annuan, oh, Lu Annuan,* she thought bitterly. "You win this round!"
With gritted teeth, Ye Meiqi spat out a harsh remark. "You may have gained the upper hand today, but don't celebrate too soon. Sooner or later, I'll make you pay for this."
Filled with resentment, she felt a jolt of surprise from Xiao Ruoyu, who stood nearby and had also heard Ye Yunfeng's words.
He instinctively held Ye Meiqi back.
"Meiqi, there's no point in arguing with someone like this. Liars always love to embellish themselves; let's just see how far she can go with her pretense. Even if she sold this thing, it might not be enough to cover her breach of contract fees."
*Lu Annuan, you just left me and immediately found a man like this?* Xiao Ruoyu thought, *I'll just wait and see how long you can keep up this strong facade. Once you're desperate and come back begging me, I don't believe you'll still be able to play innocent and refuse to sleep with me.*
Xiao Ruoyu's thoughts grew increasingly sordid as his gaze towards Annuan gradually changed, his dark eyes betraying a hint of unfulfilled desire. Annuan's mind was entirely focused on the gem, and hearing Ye Meiqi concede, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Regardless of the process, at least the item was safe.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfeng sensed Xiao Ruoyu's gaze. He swept his eyes over, narrowing them slightly, and in a single glance, he saw right through Xiao Ruoyu's intentions.
"If anyone dares to touch my woman, I'll make them wish they were dead."
Ye Yunfeng spoke with an air of dominance, then took Annuan's small hand and led her out.
Annuan looked at the luggage on the floor and quickly said, "My clothes."
"I'll buy you whatever you need."
"But..."
While those clothes weren't the best, they were the most comfortable ones she owned.
"No 'buts'."
Ye Yunfeng interrupted her. After pressing the elevator button, he fixed his gaze on her, causing Annuan to feel a shiver run down her spine under his intense stare.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked cautiously, confusion etched on her face.
Had she done something wrong?
"That night... you kissed me... was it really not on purpose?" he leaned closer to her ear, his voice dripping with ambiguity.
Annuan's earlobes suddenly flushed crimson.
Wasn't that incident already in the past? Why was he bringing it up again?
"I-I certainly didn't do it on purpose; I was drunk then... Besides, if you hadn't agreed, how could I, a girl, have forced you...?"
As the words left her mouth, Annuan suddenly looked at Ye Yunfeng.
"You..."
"What is it?"
Ye Yunfeng's lips curved into a mischievous smile. Annuan bit her lower lip, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Why do you want me to take responsibility? I was drunk, but you weren't, right? If you hadn't initiated anything, we wouldn't have... *that*..."
