Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C1
“You have to marry me into the Gu family, or else you won’t be able to graduate in this lifetime.”
Greedy foster mother seemed to be sitting across from her, eyes full of cunning and greed.
Shen Xingyue lightly waved the wine cup in her hand. The ripples from the red wine instantly shattered that evil shadow.
In the dancing shadows of the bar, the most conspicuous table was filled with precious wines. A few well-dressed youths, surrounded by loud noises, seemed to be plotting something in a low voice.
“Come, Xingyue, it’s your turn, as usual. Now, the first person who comes in from the door, regardless of who he is, you must take something back from him, or, give him a kiss! ”
Shen Xingyue directly pushed the items away from the table and pointed to the table, “Come on, a thousand per person. If you can’t afford it, you can pay me back double.”
“Xingyue, is the Shen family bankrupt? Are you so short of money? ” Feng Yang said loudly.
The Shen family was indeed very rich, but what did it have to do with him?! Even though his surname was Shen.
If it wasn’t for her finding out that her genes were good, the Shen family definitely wouldn’t have adopted her. Now that he had grown up, the Shen family couldn’t wait to sell themselves to the Gu family as a bargaining chip.
The foster mother, Wu Wei, had always been a person who cared for his own interests. In her eyes, Shen Xingyue was just a chess piece that she could discard at any time.
“Are you still playing?” Shen Xingyue tossed those thoughts out of her mind. Right now, to her, vacuuming herself for a moment was simply a type of enjoyment.
“Of course.” Feng Yang smiled as he took out one thousand yuan and placed it on the table.
Those who entered and left the bar for a long period of time were all rich, so they didn’t care about this thousand yuan. However, Shen Xingyue cared about this little bit of money. It was enough for her to leave the Shen family.
Shen Xingyue stood up and waited at the door.
Her figure was slender and curvaceous, her skin was white and tender, matched with a long, milky white dress. Her hair was lazily draped over her shoulders, and her face was painted with a light makeup. Her eyes were clear, and her face that had yet to experience the affairs of the world was brimming with the scent of youth.
Standing at the doorway, Shen Xingyue let out a long sigh, looking extremely nervous.
A man wearing a black suit with a stern expression walked in from the door. He lowered his head and whispered something to the people beside him. The sharp side of his face seemed even more profound under the dim light, adding to the mysteriousness of the man.
“Hello.” Shen Xingyue slowly stepped forward and stretched out her slender arm to stop the man as she spoke with a sweet voice.
The man raised his head and looked at Shen Xingyue with a pair of deep eyes. After being stunned for a moment, she became extremely secretive.
“It’s her!” The man could not believe it. He had been searching for someone for such a long time, but he had met her so easily.
“Can I borrow your belongings?” Shen Xingyue wore an enchanting smile. When she saw the man’s upright facial features, Shen Xingyue’s heart jumped for a moment. His looks were pretty good, and it wasn’t a loss on his part!
The man was stunned for a moment before his brows furrowed slightly. His gaze became even deeper as he looked at Shen Xingyue in silence. The corner of his mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile.
Not expecting the other party’s reaction, Shen Xingyue felt a little embarrassed. He couldn’t help but think to himself: “People who look good are always so aloof?!”
“Xingyue is going to lose money this time.” Feng Yang said gloatingly at the side.
Shen Xingyue felt a little uncomfortable under the stare, her hand carelessly supporting her forehead, “Can I?”
“If you want something from me, you have to pay some price.”
The man spoke. His voice was very magnetic and had a sexy flavor to it. His tone was not frivolous, instead it gave off a sense of estrangement.
Before Shen Xingyue could react, she looked at the man in astonishment. The man had already grabbed her fair and small hand and pressed it against her waist.
“How’s the belt?” The man pulled the distance between them, the warmth of his palms spreading into her body from her cold hands. Shen Xingyue’s body instantly stiffened as she looked frantically at the aggressive man before her.
“Since you took my item, you should give me something in exchange!” The man looked at Shen Xingyue with a devilish smile.
“What do you want?” Suppressing her panic, Shen Xingyue raised her brows and looked at the man in alarm.
“There’s going to be a lot of time in the future. Let me think about it.” The man’s gaze swept up and down her with an intriguing smile.
The man took her hand and pulled her to the side of her belt, which was inlaid with diamonds.
Shen Xingyue looked at this handsome and noble man before her in astonishment. She met his eyes that were as deep as the abyss. His movements were done in one go, and there were no ripples in his eyes.
He pulled out his belt and handed it over to Shen Xingyue.
“I’ll leave the belt here for now. I’ll come get it when I’m done.” The man whispered into Shen Xingyue’s ear. Then, he turned around and left without giving Shen Xingyue any time to react.
Shen Xingyue was stunned as she held onto the warm leather belt and stood rooted to the spot. Her hands were still burning, but a strange feeling gradually arose in her heart.
“What do you mean, there’s a lot of time in the future?” Shen Xingyue pondered these words in her heart.
She was still on guard against strangers, not to mention a man who gave off a dangerous aura. She did not want to interact with him again.
However, the leather belt with the diamond on top of the card was obviously very valuable. If she lost it, she wouldn’t be able to afford to pay it.
“Why do I feel like I’ve seen him before?!” Shen Xingyue looked at that man with a complicated expression. He was sitting in the booth, giving orders to the manager. Slowly, he turned his head and met Shen Xingyue’s eyes.
That pair of deep, piercing eyes was like the abyss, enough to make a woman sink into it. When they met eyes with each other, Shen Xingyue felt as if her heart missed a beat as she started to panic.
Shen Xingyue quickly avoided his gaze and hurried back to her seat. For a moment, she was unable to calm her complex emotions.
“That man is too handsome. He is simply the most good-looking man in the world!” Xingyue, did you ask for his contact number! ” Hua Chi Li Fang stared at the man in the distance, her eyes filled with love.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Xingyue passed the belt to her. “Give you this chance! Wouldn’t it be better to ask for yourself? ”
Li Fang looked at Shen Xingyue in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that Shen Xingyue would actually give away this huge peach blossom to her. Shen Xingyue shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
“I was careless. I won.” She put away the nine thousand dollars on the table. Compared to a man, money was more important. This was his bargaining chip to leave the Shen family.
Feeling that someone was looking at her, Shen Xingyue slowly raised her head and inadvertently looked at that man.
However, the man didn’t look at her. Instead, he was conversing with the people around him with a natural and unrestrained manner.
Someone offered a cigarette to the man and he accepted it gracefully. His long fingers held the cigarette and a wisp of smoke slowly came out of his thin lips. Smoke surrounded him, and he gave off a dangerous and hazy feeling.
Through the smoke, the man looked at Shen Xingyue slowly. She hurriedly turned her head and took a sip of the wine in front of her to cover her panic.
