The tip of her nose suddenly stung with sourness. Su Wanqing forced the moisture in her eyes back down, refusing to show weakness as she smiled stubbornly.
“Right now I, Su Wanqing, need money. As long as the price is right, it doesn’t matter who I sleep with.”
Jian Ou seemed so angry he almost laughed. His voice turned cold and sinister.
“Five million!”
“Really sorry, but I already have a guest tonight. Brother Long, you’d agree, right?”
Brother Long was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.
“Wanqing is keeping me company tonight. Mr. Jian should find another beauty instead.”
“Brother Long, a good night passes quickly. What do you think?”
Su Wanqing lifted her charming brows slightly, her eyes seductive as she gazed at Brother Long with tender affection, doing her best to ignore the gaze fixed firmly on her.
“Haha, the beauty’s getting impatient. Your lord here will take you away right now. Mr. Jian, you keep enjoying yourself here. Let’s meet again another day.”
Brother Long looked smug with pride. Wrapping an arm around Su Wanqing’s slender waist, he prepared to leave—only to realize Jian Ou was standing there, completely unmoving.
“Mr. Jian, please be so kind as to lift your noble feet and move aside, so I can take this beauty back with me. After all, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.”
Jian Ou’s eyes darkened. A trace of vicious hostility flashed across them. His black eyes stared coldly at the woman leaning in Brother Long’s arms, smiling sweetly and beautifully. His voice had already reached the edge of fury.
“Su Wanqing, are you really going to debase yourself to this extent?!”
Su Wanqing’s eyes dimmed slightly. A flash of mockery slipped through them.
She placed her hand against Brother Long’s chest, raising her small palm-sized face, her voice sounding wronged.
“Brother Long, Mr. Jian thinks me accompanying you is debasing myself…”
Brother Long’s body immediately went half limp from the sweetness. Then he turned to Jian Ou and said,
“Mr. Jian, I don’t like the sound of that. How does Wanqing becoming my woman tonight count as debasing herself?”
She slowly added,
“After all, Mr. Jian is the heir of one of the three great families in Shangjing. Coming to a small place like Luo City, of course his heart would be higher than the sky. Naturally he wouldn’t think much of anyone here.”
Of course Brother Long knew Su Wanqing was using him as a weapon. But since this woman was about to become his soon anyway, letting her be a little willful wasn’t a big deal.
Besides, Jian Ou had been far too arrogant. Ever since he walked in, every word he said made it clear he didn’t take Brother Long seriously. Naturally, he couldn’t swallow that anger.
“Mr. Jian, although our Luo City can’t compare with Shangjing, the nation’s economic center, it’s still a first-tier city. There are quite a few big figures here too. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon—”
“A woman willing to be a prostitute. Just looking at you once more makes me feel dirty!”
The icy voice cut him off.
Jian Ou’s gaze swept coldly away from Su Wanqing. Without hesitation, he turned and left, not sparing her even a second glance.
The private room fell silent again.
Su Wanqing watched his figure disappear outside the door. A dull pain spread through her heart. Her body suddenly went weak, as if all the strength had been drained from her.
She hid the pain in her eyes, forcing herself to stay upright as she tried to pull away from Brother Long’s arms. But the next moment, he grabbed her back again.
Brother Long’s breath brushed ambiguously against her ear.
“I can’t wait anymore. I’ve decided to do you right here.”
The moment those words fell, within seconds the private room was left with just the two of them.
Brother Long eagerly lowered his head, trying to kiss Su Wanqing.
The mixed smell of smoke and alcohol rushed toward her. A wave of nausea surged up instantly. Su Wanqing’s expression changed. She shoved Brother Long away and leaned against the tea table beside her, retching.
Brother Long’s face darkened immediately.
The undisguised disgust on Su Wanqing’s face just now hadn’t escaped his notice.
Rage surged in his chest. He grabbed Su Wanqing by the hair, forcing her head up.
“You bitch, what do you mean by that?! Looking down on me?!”
Her scalp burned with pain from his grip. Looking at Brother Long’s ferocious, sinister face, Su Wanqing forced herself to endure the discomfort in her body. A faint, cold smile tugged at her lips.
“Brother Long misunderstood… ah—!”
The sudden increase in strength on her scalp made Su Wanqing gasp in pain.
“Used me to block Jian Ou and now you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?”
Brother Long sneered, his face dark and menacing.
“You’re just some prostitute who sells herself. Who do you think you are? Hah! Tonight I’ll fuck you until you cry for your father and mother!”
Su Wanqing struggled hard, prying Brother Long’s hand off her hair. She stumbled back several steps, her face pale.
“Brother Long, don’t forget—I’ve never taken clients! You called me here earlier just to drink with you.”
“You think you can just walk away after playing me like that?”
“Pa!”
A loud slap landed squarely across Su Wanqing’s face.
“You bitch, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
Brother Long sneered. In the next second, he shoved Su Wanqing onto the sofa. While pulling down his pants, he pressed himself toward her.
“Rip!”
The clothes at Su Wanqing’s chest were torn open. Her bare skin was instantly exposed to the air as Brother Long’s rough hand grabbed at it.
Panic flashed through Su Wanqing’s eyes. She suddenly bent her knee and slammed it straight toward Brother Long.
Brother Long’s face changed drastically. He quickly twisted his body aside to dodge.
“Bitch! Looking to die!”
Brother Long cursed angrily, kicking Su Wanqing heavily off the sofa.
Caught off guard, she crashed straight into the tea table behind her. Pain shot through her back and she groaned.
The next moment, her hair was grabbed again.
Brother Long stared at her with a vicious expression.
“Won’t let me have you, huh?!”
As soon as the words fell, his other hand reached directly under Su Wanqing’s skirt.
“Aiyo, what’s going on here?”
At the critical moment, the private room door was suddenly pushed open.
The club’s boss, Mei Jie, walked in with swaying hips.
The moment Su Wanqing saw her, light instantly returned to her eyes.
