Ruan Li pretended to be experienced as she ordered a male escort.
But her trembling voice betrayed her nervousness.
For 21 years, she had lived by the rules.
Obedient, honest, and a pushover—these were her labels.
One of the few rebellious acts in her life was probably giving up on the last major question in the college entrance exam’s math paper just to attend the same school as Jiang Siyan.
Her nervous demeanor caught Fu Shiyu’s attention.
He leaned in, his thin, crimson lips curling into a smile:
“How much are you offering?”
Faced with the suddenly magnified handsome face, Ruan Li’s eyes widened. She couldn’t tell whether it was the effect of the drugs or the mesmerizing face that made her heart race uncontrollably.
The pain from biting the inside of her mouth earlier had left her mind unusually clear.
She pursed her dry lips, about to say one thousand.
But feeling it wasn’t worthy of such a face, she changed her mind and said, “Ten thousand?”
Ten thousand?
The words fell into the ears of the assistant behind him, making his heart skip a beat.
The sky was falling!
Was this girl drunk, or did she have a death wish?
Not only did she mistake the Crown Prince of the Capital Circle for a male escort, but she also offered such a low price?
The last woman who tried to drug the young master spent over a million just to bribe the waiter.
And what happened? Not only did she fail, but the young master also sent her to a mental institution.
Ten thousand?
How could this girl even say that?
The assistant cautiously glanced at the Ms. Yao behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Ms. Yao didn’t hear.
Otherwise, with her fiercely protective nature, hearing that her precious nephew was only worth ten thousand for an overnight stay would likely have made her explode on the spot.
Just as the assistant was about to step forward,
he heard the young master’s voice ring out, “Deal.”
Assistant: ?
Was he hallucinating, or had the young master gone mad?
Ruan Li was also surprised.
He agreed so readily?
She thought it would be like bargaining at a market.
Just as Ruan Li was regretting, “Did I offer too much?” her wrist was seized by an irresistible force.
She was led by Shi Yu to the wealthy woman.
“This is my girlfriend,” Shi Yu turned his head to look at her, a half-smile playing on his handsome face. “Baby, say hello.”
Baby?
Ruan Li’s mind buzzed. Was this the emotional value provided by male escorts?
She was confused. “What?”
“Call her ‘auntie,’” Shi Yu said matter-of-factly.
Ruan Li: …That was so rude.
Although the wealthy woman was older, she was well-maintained.
For Shi Yu, an escort, to not only lack professional ethics but also attack a customer’s age was truly despicable.
Ruan Li looked up and studied the wealthy woman.
Meeting the wealthy woman’s stern, scrutinizing gaze, she muttered softly, “She looks so young, she should be called ‘sister.’”
Yao Ying raised an eyebrow, withdrawing her scrutinizing gaze. Her usually stern eyes softened into a smile:
“No wonder Xiao Yu likes you. I find you quite likable too.”
“When you have time, both of you should come to my place for a visit. My husband isn’t home often, and I get lonely.”
Ruan Li stiffened.
Was this wealthy woman… interested in both men and women?
She swallowed hard.
She wanted to refuse outright but felt it would be impolite, so she only nodded vaguely.
“Good girl,” Yao Ying grew even more satisfied with this niece-in-law.
Thinking she was the first to meet her nephew’s girlfriend, she smiled even more brightly and directly took out a card.
“There’s five hundred thousand in here. The password is six sixes. Consider it a gift for meeting you.”
Ruan Li: ?
She suspected she wasn’t drugged but hallucinating from eating poisoned takeout.
She spent 10,000 to “sleep” with Shi Yu.
And the wealthy woman who liked Shi Yu gave her 500,000?
Ruan Li, who had never won a “free bottle” from buying iced tea since childhood, felt a bit unreal facing this pie that fell from the sky.
The words “Sis, I don’t want to work hard anymore” almost slipped out.
The one shocked wasn’t just her, but also the Bullet Comments in front of her.
【What? The Female Supporting Character not only freeloaded off the Impoverished School Grass, but also earned 490,000?】
【Wait, is this right?】
【This dead girl is so lucky! Let me go in and act a few episodes!】
【Where’s the Second Male Lead, did he get lost? Wasn’t he supposed to force the Female Supporting Character today, record a video, and play it at the Female Supporting Character and Male Lead’s wedding?】
While Ruan Li was dazed, the rich lady had already left, considerately dragging the “madam” away with her.
When she came to her senses, she had already been pulled into the private room by Shi Yu.
This club was membership-based, located in the prime, extremely expensive core area of Haishi, known for its excellent privacy and luxurious decor. The rich second-generation heirs of Haicheng often came here to play.
Ruan Li had also come here a few times with Jiang Siyan.
But when she saw the furnishings before her, she still froze for a moment.
This private room was much larger than the others, with an extremely high ceiling.
A five-meter-tall floor-to-ceiling glass window was spotless, framing the breathtakingly expensive night view of Haicheng, a dazzling display of wealth.
Outside the window, rows of towering skyscrapers along the riverbank and magnificent century-old Western-style buildings shone brilliantly under the glittering lights.
Fu Shiyu lazily leaned back on the sofa.
Even without the lights on, one could see his long legs, seemingly with nowhere to rest, naturally spread apart.
Ruan Li’s throat felt a bit dry. She averted her gaze and muttered softly:
“Is this the treatment for the top performer?”
The room fell silent for a moment.
A low chuckle sounded. Fu Shiyu stretched out his arm, resting his elbow on the back of the sofa. His collar was slightly open, revealing a small patch of cold, pale skin, so white it was dazzling, like fine porcelain.
A cool blue light shone from the side onto his face, making his already outstanding features appear even more three-dimensional.
He smiled with a hint of mockery, “Want to try the top performer’s skills?”
Ruan Li’s face flushed, “No… you don’t need to do anything.”
She didn’t dare go out, afraid the “Second Male Lead” mentioned in the Bullet Comments hadn’t left, so she pointed to one side of the large bed, “Just lend me half the bed.”
“That won’t do.” Fu Shiyu leaned back lazily, his gaze fixed intently on Ruan Li’s beautiful, harmless face, and said slowly, “I don’t sleep platonically.”
