The second act, on the edge of desire, walks forward

She has a certain disdain for herself

Smooth Jazz is Bumpin

Zhen Huihui walked up to her, placing her left hand on Su Yao's left shoulder: "You do not love him, and you certainly do not wish to burden him. In this world, only I, Zhen Huihui, understand your 'complicated feelings'"

Mr. Huang looked for a while and said with a smile, "It's very soft, Ali, if you are afraid, I can lend you three of my courage."

Mr. Huang nodded and said: "It is quite flavorful, Ali, if you want to eat, just eat, what are you hesitating for!"

General Zhang forced a smile and said, "That sounds quite unpleasant. How about this: since President Yin is eager to find Miss Tiantian, you can help her sober up first. By the way, please let President Yin know that I will invite him to play golf another day"

Xie Fang gazed quietly at the graceful dance on stage, her brows furrowing slightly. The mask on her face had been replaced with a pink silk cloth, transforming her from the delicate charm of before into someone entirely different. If the previous qipao showcased a lily's gentle allure, the current sheer veil exuded a captivating essence reminiscent of a rose.

Su Yao smiled faintly, casting a grateful glance at him, but her heart was filled more with sorrow and shame

"Mr. Xie, is there something you need?" The voice from the phone was somewhat unexpected

Su Yao cast a sidelong glance at her, and suddenly, her eyes brightened, a radiant gaze turning towards a certain spot behind her: "Classmate Huihui, don't blame me for not reminding you, be careful of a certain unscrupulous man sneaking up from behind!"

The voice of another man was domineering: "Tonight our boss is in a good mood, you can charge as much as you want, Miss Tian Tian, will you take this business or not?"

Xie Fang did not give up: "What illness does your father have? Is it serious?" Seeing her fall silent again, he frowned, knowing that she might be thinking of something else, and said, "At the company, I am your boss; here, let’s just consider ourselves friends."

Although he often sees Su Yao in the office, he is not familiar with her. In his impression, she is a very efficient employee who worked on advertising copy for more than half a year, and later transitioned to real estate planning copy. Over the past year, he has appreciated several planning proposals she has completed. It can be said that she is currently the backbone of the planning department

Su stood up and walked towards the bedroom, suddenly stopping, and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Xie!"

Zhen Huihui exaggeratedly sighed: "So, if it weren't for your father and this matter, you wouldn't have made the decision to break up with him, am I right?"

Su Yao inexplicably developed a feeling of being designed against and conspired against, as if the Taiwanese man before her had dug a bottomless pit, yet claimed it was a beautiful shallow hole, assuring her that if she followed his instructions, the gold and silver within the shallow pit would belong to her. She felt anxious inside, with two completely different thoughts tugging at her, making it impossible for her to make a decisive choice.

Zhen Huihui smiled gently, knowing that she could be witty and cheerful, but it was all a deliberate disguise—after all, he was her boyfriend of one year. Now that they were truly parting ways, how could it not be bittersweet and sorrowful? So he lightly patted her shoulder: "Dead woman, always using me as a topic. Alright, hurry up and pack your things, or do you want to see your Ah Song one more time?"

Su Yao looked at him in surprise, unable to discern his intentions for a moment. However, these two conditions did not cross her bottom line and were indeed very tempting

Perhaps her dancing and entertaining at the nightclub is only temporary, but this act of selling her beauty will become an indelible stain on her life, and it is possible that her entire life will change from this point onward. Therefore, she conceals her true appearance with a silk mask, skillfully protecting herself, even though this measure may soon lose its effectiveness

Xie Fangbin smiled politely and said: "Please go ahead and hit, I will first help Tiantian sober up, but I think Tiantian won't wake up anytime soon. Director Yin will definitely ask me, how could Tiantian, who has such a good tolerance for alcohol, get so drunk? This Bailehui, with such a large venue, the customers are like gods. If the 'gods' disrupt the rules of the game, it becomes a different matter."

This statement is a double entendre, cleverly revealing that he already knows the truth of the matter and threatening him to let go. His audacity in saying this is merely a bold gamble, betting that this boss is either completely unfamiliar with or not well-acquainted with the owner of Bailehu.

Gazing at her familiar face, in an instant, Xie felt a surge of blood rush to his head. He abruptly pushed open the door and nearly collided with a young man. The young man looked somewhat surprised and narrowed his eyes in caution, asking, "Who are you? What do you want?"

A long silence. With the air conditioning on, the air was stifling, making it hard to breathe, and a strong smell of smoke invaded her nostrils. She frowned, trying her best to hold it in, a slight sweat forming on her back. With her eyes closed, she took a deep breath: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, thank you... It's late, I should head back. I will return to the office tomorrow."

The house provided to Xie Fang by the company is located in a bustling area of the city, consisting of a three-bedroom, two-living room residence. This morning, after Xie Fang left, Su Yao carefully examined this stylishly decorated and exquisite house: the living room, dining room, and kitchen showcase a European simplicity and freshness, the master bedroom presents a strong black and white color scheme, the secondary bedroom expresses a tender rose gray, and the study features a bright light green tone. Overall, the elegant beige is accented by the charming allure of rose gray, vibrant yet intellectual, romantic yet comfortable

Mr. Zhang had Tiantian lean against the sofa, stood up, and showed no signs of embarrassment on his face: "Miss Tiantian is so drunk that she is unconscious... Does President Yin have any business with Miss Tiantian?"

Xie Fang was somewhat surprised and immediately understood: such a private matter, no wonder she had to lie, and no wonder it was difficult for her to speak about it. However, she finally said it, and he smiled and asked, "How much do you owe in usury?"

Where is this? Sweet Sweet was startled and suddenly recalled what had happened in the private room. A rogue boss threw down a thousand yuan bill, tore off the silk mask from her face, drank two glasses of wine, and demanded that she accompany him for a night out. She refused to go out—her last memory seemed to be the rogue boss asking: "Miss Sweet Sweet really does not want to?"

Su Yao silently calculated in her heart, considering the monthly rent of 500 yuan and monthly food expenses of 500 yuan, which amounted to a monthly salary of 2500 yuan. Given the market conditions and workload in Lucheng, this was considered quite humane by Xie Fang. She nodded and said, "Alright, I agree"

Noticing her discomfort, he withdrew his gaze: "A place like Ba Lao Hui is not suitable for you. If you are facing any difficulties, feel free to talk to me; perhaps I can help you"

Xie Fang furrowed his brows, appearing to be in distress as he thought: "The third one... I haven't figured it out yet, but I won't cross your bottom line, nor will I put you in a difficult position. You can rest assured."

Four pairs of eyes meet, filled with surprise, a hint of a smile, a touch of awkwardness, and an ambiguous sense of intrigue

Xie Fang glanced at Tiantian, who had fallen onto the leather sofa, lying still as if lifeless, her hair disheveled, dressed in sheer, translucent fabric, exuding a coolness reminiscent of a striptease artist. He awkwardly said, "This... as for the boss's matters, I am not privy to them."

Speaking, he glanced inward; President Zhang was still holding her, slightly restraining his lustful expression

She remained silent. He sighed in despair, almost ready to give up, but then reconsidered and asked heavily: "How much does your father's illness require in medical expenses? Delaying the medical fees would be very detrimental to the improvement of his condition."

She herself did not know why she did not want to tell Gao Yisong the truth, yet she revealed it to her boss. Could it be that, in her subconscious, she hoped he would extend a helping hand to assist her? It turns out, she was also this realistic and hypocritical

As she spoke, she stood up and was about to leave the room that filled her with such embarrassment

Silence. A profound stillness envelops the surroundings. Only the booming music from the hall resonates in the ears

Lin Li looked at the two people with a smile, laughing heartily as he said: "So, how is it? Are you dumbfounded? I told you it has a lot of flavor, doesn't it?"

Su Yao simply admitted, her voice low: "As you said, it is just like that."

Zhen Huihui was organizing the items on the dressing table and said, "Are you really not living at my house? Then where are you living? Do you have a place? Do you still need to go to Ba Lao Hui? Can you gather 150,000 within a month? In a few days, my dad will give me a response, and there are also some on my family's pig head side, so don't worry, it will definitely be gathered together."

Mr. Zhang seems to doubt Xie Fang's statement and picks up the phone on the table: "How about this, I will call President Yin."

She wanted to say: I am unwilling! However, before she could utter the words, she suddenly felt dizzy, and then her vision went dark, leaving her in complete oblivion

Xie Fang leaned against the tiled wall of the bathroom, exhaling smoke, his mind in a state of confusion, constantly entangled in a question: Is Tian Tian really Su Yao? Why did Su Yao go to the nightclub to sell her beauty?

Hearing this, Zhen Huihui turned around suspiciously, looking around but failing to find that familiar person. Meanwhile, the taxi beside her sped away in a flash. She stood dazed by the roadside, gazing at the bustling street with a vacant expression and a serious demeanor

"What is the reason for Su Yao's one-month leave?" Xie Fang asked directly.

With Su Yao's precise gaze measuring, the beauty's height is approximately 1.70 meters. Her complexion is cool, and a hint of arrogance flickers at the corners of her eyes as she strides away with an elegant pace, not glancing sideways.

Tian Tian lifted the blanket and felt her rapidly beating heart begin to calm down—after all, she was wearing a cool dance outfit, which seemed perfectly appropriate and comfortable. She bit her lip to steady her mind, got out of bed quietly, draped a black coat over herself, picked up the bag from the bedside table, and gently opened the door

Later, she came to realize that the only audience she had seen, who had inadvertently intruded into her life, would be a devil entangled with her, and between them would unfold a lingering game of dancing with wolves

"It's nothing." Xie hung up the phone and continued to smoke, repeatedly reflecting on the information provided by Zhu Jianfeng. Could it be that the illness is severe and that they are trying to raise a large amount of medical expenses? In this case, it seems quite possible.

With this thought in mind, he felt much more at ease. Discarding the cigarette butt, he walked out of the restroom and headed towards the lobby

Just as she was about to open the door and go out, someone pushed the door open and came in... Tiantian was startled, but when she saw the person who had arrived, she was taken aback... She stared at the man standing at the door, forgetting to breathe

Lin Li still looked towards the stage, cursing without mercy, "Go away, go away, I do not need your courage, I find it repulsive."

Zhen Huihui walked over and sat across from her, fluttering her big, watery eyes and grinning mischievously: "Your Ah Song is a good man, and he will be a good husband in the future. Look, he is quite competent as a caretaker, taking such good care of you..."

Damn it, this scoundrel! A despicable and shameless person

In full view of the public, he supported Su Yao and embraced her as they walked out of the private room, heading towards the backstage

With a wheat-colored complexion, a solid upper body, and well-toned legs, he stands out as a model of masculine beauty among men of average build at a height of 1.76 meters. His piercing eyes, straight nose, and coffee-colored skin all reflect a subtle sense of weariness, which, due to his age, makes Su Yao feel that the usually jovial Mr. Xie, known as the "smiling tiger," exudes an indescribable aura of restraint.

Lin Li smiled faintly, poured herself a glass of red wine, and sipped it slowly, as if she had not heard the incessant chatter of the person beside her

In two or three days, it will be a month. Tomorrow, I will give her a call. Mr. Xie, is there any problem?" On the other end of the phone, Zhu Jianfeng sounded quite cautious.

A hint of a sly smile flickered at the corners of Xie Fang's eyes: "However, you must understand that my personal assistant must meet three requirements: the scope of work includes anything, must be available at all times, and has no right to say 'no'. If you can meet this, the second condition will be considered fulfilled"

Zhen Huihui let out a reluctant "tch" and said, "Your words are so hurtful! I follow you out of concern, you ungrateful girl!"

His face was flushed and awkward, unable to maintain composure: "I am not hesitating..."

But why would her boss want to help her

Her father is ill and hospitalized, stating that he needs to take care of the elderly

At that moment, she unexpectedly discovered a man who seemed to be thoughtfully admiring her; he appeared to be able to easily peel away the surface to see the essence and penetrate her inner self

No—don't! Tian Tian solemnly uttered two simple words, her voice seemingly lowered.

This stage of charm is like the tip of a desire's blade; no matter how steadily one walks, one is bound to stumble, and may even fall into an abyss of ten thousand fathoms

Su Yao covered her face with a towel, sobbing softly, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably... Zhen Huihui silently embraced her, holding her close...

Suddenly, Su Yao's face turned red with embarrassment

Su Yao looked up at him for a moment, then quickly lowered her head and softly said: "It is not medical expenses, it is... usury."

When can she start working

On the afternoon of the second day at 2:00 PM, Zhen Huihui accompanied Su Yao back to that old home to pack up the things from hetushucom. Su Yao sat on the edge of the bed sorting through clothes, and upon hearing this, she sighed softly and said calmly: "I know what you want to say, but I had no choice"

Su Yao tugged at the corner of her lips and winked mysteriously: "Don't follow me; tracking your Dongdong is the real business. In a few days, when I am more settled, I will call you. When your family arrives, get off the car, and no following me, okay!"

Jazz music rises softly, with a gentle and smooth melody, a relaxed rhythm, and a deep female voice singing softly, like cool spring water flowing on stage and in the air. This is the classic piece "Smooth Jazz Is Bumpin" by Paul Hardcastle

Explaining to the lobby manager indeed took quite an effort. He said that Tiantian is his cousin, who has suffered from anemia since childhood. She fainted in front of a guest just now, and he is now taking her to the hospital. After much persuasion, the lobby manager finally granted him leave; perhaps it was because he recognized that he is from Taiwan.

Indeed, it is a soft persimmon that cannot withstand pressure. Xie felt a secret amusement in his heart: "I will certainly convey your words to General Yin without missing a single word"

Mr. Huang watched him walk away and jokingly said to Lin Li: "Ah Fang couldn't hold on any longer and went to the bathroom to take care of it. He goes to bars every day, and I don't even know how many girlfriends he has. By the way, one night, I saw him having coffee with a woman. She was quite attractive, with very fair skin, and her name seemed to be something like An. They looked very close; this kid is quite fortunate in love..." By the way, one night, I saw him having coffee with a woman. She was quite attractive, with very fair skin, and her name seemed to be something like An. They looked very close; this kid is quite fortunate in love...

Upon hearing this, Su Yao raised her chin and looked at him in astonishment, momentarily stunned—her heart was secretly delighted. To receive the boss's generous assistance was the best solution for her. As long as she could repay the 150,000 yuan high-interest loan, she would agree to any conditions, except for selling her looks.

Su Yao paid an extra five yuan and asked the driver to take the three large pieces of luggage to the ninth floor. The driver took the elevator downstairs, and she took out the room key provided by Xie Fang in the morning from her bag, opened the door, and brought the suitcase inside. Just as she set it down, she felt something strange—the bathroom was emitting odd noises.

Su Yao said coldly: "Hmm, thank you! I will handle it myself"

Xie was taken aback as he walked to the door and peered through the crack, immediately gasping in shock. He saw Tiantian sitting on the sofa, softly leaning against the shoulder of a middle-aged man, her eyes closed, her expression calm. The middle-aged man gently stroked her cheek with his finger, sliding back and forth: "Go, tell the front desk manager, just say that Miss Tiantian has agreed to accompany me out."

Upon reaching the entrance of a private room, I heard a voice of righteous rebuttal: "I’m sorry, General Manager Zhang, but I will not go on stage. I have already discussed this with our lobby manager. If you don’t believe me, I can call the lobby manager over."

On a dimly lit stage, a woman slowly dances from the edge to the center. Her long hair cascades over her face, and she wears a pink sheer camisole dress that reaches just to the upper thigh. The skin beneath the sheer fabric glistens, while her black lingerie boldly flutters like a dancing black butterfly in the enchanting light. Her delicate, fair feet are adorned with black high-heeled sandals, and at this moment, they move to a sensual rhythm, exuding an unmistakable allure.

Upon waking, all memories were lost. Sitting on the bed, Tian Tian surveyed the sparsely decorated bedroom in the warm light from the bedside lamp. Apart from the wardrobe, there were only the high-hanging milky white curtains.

Xie Fang closed the door and came in, changed into brown cotton slippers, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and pressed her down onto the rose gray fabric sofa. He then took off his black coat and casually tossed it onto the pure white armchair, pulled out a cigarette from his pants pocket, sat down, and lit one up.

The soothing melodies stimulate everyone's physical senses, inciting a desire to move, expressing dynamism within the lyrical flow, and highlighting enchantment through the rhythm of the beats

Su Yao gazed out of the car window at the swiftly passing greenery and the newly risen high-rise buildings, her expression as calm as the sea. Zhen Huihui looked at her delicate profile, sighed softly, held her icy hand, and pretended to be casual as she said: "Are you really sure you don't need my help? You won't even tell me your whereabouts?"

This is her stage alone, and the space beneath the stage is completely empty—there is darkness below, which she cannot see and does not wish to see. She willingly regards this stage as one without any audience. Otherwise, her heart would ache.

Xie Fanghao drank the remaining wine in his cup with great enthusiasm, stood up and said: "I will go to the restroom for a moment"

The music gradually faded, and Sweetly concluded her charming dance, stepping down from the stage after the curtain call

The young man stood at the door, blocking Xie from entering, and asked fiercely, "Who is President Yin? I don't know him!"

At this moment, she could only smile bitterly, finally understanding that no matter how much effort she put into protecting herself, she was still unable to withstand the overwhelming dangers of the world of indulgence. This stage of allure is like the tip of a desire's blade; no matter how steadily one walks, one is bound to stumble, and may even fall into an abyss of unfathomable depth

Suddenly, a pure face cut into his mind, completely merging with the silhouette of the face that was mostly obscured on the stage filled with enchanting light and shadow

Could it be Su Yao? Why would Su Yao go to Broadway to dance and perform? It must not be Su Yao!

Xie Fang smiled apologetically and said, "I am the special assistant to President Yin. Our President Yin has requested Tiantian to come over. I apologize, but Tiantian is here."

After a while, still receiving no response from Su Yao, Zhen Huihui felt a slight sense of curiosity. She turned to look at her, only to find her quietly gazing at the chiffon dress in her hands, tears falling like a heavy summer rain, drop by drop... Zhen Huihui went to the bathroom to fetch a damp towel and handed it to her

"Do not waste your breath with her... The ladies of Bailehu are truly aloof. Miss Tiantian, if you do not wish to continue here, you need not make an appearance tonight". It was still that overbearing male voice.

Su Yaohe let out a light laugh and glanced at her sideways: "I didn't realize that classmate Huihui was so understanding, oh? I wonder if our classmate Dongdong is thinking 'With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?'"

Xie Fangwei slightly turned his head and saw Lin Li's Adam's apple rolling continuously, his face displaying an expression of intoxication. A cold smile flickered in his heart as he turned to look at the stage. There, Tian Tian was moving in sync with the enchanting and sensual jazz music, her arms swaying casually, her waist and hips twisting softly... After watching for a while, he felt a slight change in his lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but swallow the excess saliva in his mouth.

Tian Tian occasionally changed her gaze, sometimes pure, sometimes hazy, sometimes enchanting, sometimes cold and elegant, inadvertently lingering on Xie Fang's face. Their eyes met, and her dance steps momentarily faltered. Soon, she shifted her gaze, looking dreamily into the void.

This sounds so inhuman, Su Yao glared at her fiercely: "If it's sisterly talk, then shut up!" She stood up and walked to the bed, gazing out at the gray sky, "I admit that I don't love him enough, perhaps I never loved him at all, at most I can only say I liked him."

"Is Miss Tian Tian really unwilling?" From the tone of this voice, the person is no longer young and should be the General Manager Zhang mentioned by Tian Tian

Zhen Huihui got out of the car and leaned on the car window with a sly smile, saying, "I won't follow you; I'll just go to support you directly. What do you think?"

He raised an eyebrow, adopting a negotiating stance: "Since it is for sixteen hours, you must move here, with all meals and accommodation provided, allowing you to save on rent; as for the salary of the personal assistant and nanny, after deducting the costs of meals and accommodation, it will be 1,500 per month, is that acceptable?"

Su stood straight, slightly lowering her head, without speaking. If she continued to work at the nightclub, would he dismiss her

With this thought in mind, she tiptoed out of the bedroom, not daring to look back, only wanting to leave as quickly as possible

Tian Tian sat seriously, her head lowered, clutching her bag, unsure of what to say, only feeling her heart racing. She secretly lifted her gaze to look at him; he was wearing a black striped shirt on top and blue jeans below, not much different from the person she usually saw in the office. However, at this moment, she felt that the man before her was entirely different from the decisive General Manager Xie in the company.

He helped her put on a black coat, took some belongings, and hailed a taxi. In the car, he wrapped one arm around her while dialing a phone number with the other. Lin Li, feeling quite displeased, scolded him a few times, to which he responded with sincere apologies, offering soothing words and promising to treat him to drinks another day as a form of compensation.

Recalling that despicable person, she was startled once more, as if icy tap water were pouring down from above, leaving her gasping in the cold.

Looking through the crack of the door, there was a dimly lit living room, with only the pale white light emanating from the television screen illuminating the space, yet no figures were visible. She did not know if that wretched person had gone to sleep, but she had to try to escape.

Xie Fang stood up, took her to the bar table on the left side of the living room, and gestured for her to sit down: "No one knows about your situation, and I will not speak of it either." He poured a glass of warm water and placed it in front of her, then poured himself half a glass of red wine, "As for what happened tonight, I believe you understand that those people drugged you, which is why you were unconscious."

Xie Fang silently drank, the corner of his eye lightly sweeping across her face, as light as a feather. After a while, he said in a firm tone: "I am borrowing this sum of money in the name of friendship, but you must agree to three conditions."

Su Yao turned her face and smiled, saying, "Are you helping me, or are you inquiring about my whereabouts"

Xie Fang finished the red wine in his glass and looked at her anxious and hesitant expression through the glass: "You can think it over, give me your answer before I go to work tomorrow." Seeing her nod, he comfortingly said, "It's late, go get some rest, and don't think too much."

Xie Fang understood her concerns and boundaries, and casually said: "First, work hard to secure more projects for the company, and return two-thirds of the monthly salary to me." Seeing Su Yao nodding vigorously, he chuckled inwardly, but maintained a serious expression on his face, "Second, in addition to the normal eight-hour workday, for the remaining sixteen hours, you will serve as my personal assistant and... nanny. How about that?"

The taxi was parked downstairs, and the driver helped to lift out the suitcase. Su Yao placed a red suitcase on the ground and suddenly heard the sound of high heels clicking in the hallway. Shortly after, a tall and fair-skinned beauty walked out. She couldn't help but gaze over, just in time to meet her gaze—her oval face was adorned with exquisite makeup, and beneath a deep purple cashmere coat, her figure was graceful, with the hem slightly lifted, revealing a form-fitting black sleeveless dress underneath.

Yao Yao, have you really made your decision

She felt his gaze upon her, yet she did not dare to look up, sipping from the glass cup in small sips.

"Su Yao, I hope you can work diligently and create more achievements for the company." Xie extinguished the cigarette butt in the glass ashtray and leaned back on the sofa, "It is now past twelve o'clock. If you don't mind, you can rest here for the night."

This... could it be the den of scoundrels

That clear and pure face belongs to Su Yao, an ordinary woman who appears to be in her twenties. Her attire is simple and unremarkable, yet not unattractive.

Xie Fang walked past him and directly entered the private room, standing in front of the table. Without even glancing at the unconscious Tian Tian, he politely said, "General Manager Zhang, I apologize for the inconvenience. President Yin needs Tian Tian to go for a visit. Please forgive us for any trouble caused"

But why did she take a month off? Xie Fang couldn't recall the reason stated in her leave request, so he took out his phone, dialed a number, and as soon as the call connected, he immediately said: "This is Xie Fang. Is it Zhu Jianfeng?"

Mr. Zhang halted his rudeness: "Let him in, Mr. Yin is the owner of Bai Laohui and is my friend"

She quickly turned her head and saw a man standing dazed at the bathroom door, staring at her in astonishment, his entire body wrapped only in a pure white bathrobe

Su Yao bit her lower lip hard, troubled by the three demands he had stated—too harsh, like a bandit, brazenly robbing her of her freedom and will. Damn it! She muttered to herself, raising her face to ask, "What is the third condition?"

Xie slowly sipped his red wine, observing her as she hung her head in silence, and began to study her closely: her makeup, which was just right in intensity, was somewhat different from his impression of Su Yao. Her eyelashes were elegantly curled, her eyes were smoky, her lips were tender pink, and her chin was delicate... Beneath the exquisite makeup, there was actually a pure and fresh face.

This voice was soft yet neither servile nor arrogant, somewhat familiar. Xie Fang furrowed his brows deeply and then heard a voice coming from the partially open door of the private room: "It's just a small matter, so there's no need to trouble your lobby manager. Besides, the customer is king, and your manager also listens to the king."

Lin Li stared intently at the stage, his eyes wide open: "Quick, look, once we pass this village, there won't be another shop."

Su Yaochong blurted out: "150,000"

Su Yao continued to pack her clothes, neatly folding them and placing them in the box, unable to suppress the sourness at the tip of her nose... In this very bedroom, scenes of tender affection surged to her heart, like vividly colored light and shadow slowly moving, shifting a picture, and deep within her heart, a silver needle would pierce in, the pain of the needle prick small yet dense, leaving one in a state of helpless agony

To put it plainly, she refused to become his lover. However, she believed that Xie Fang would not be so despicable
