“Where am I supposed to sleep?”
Lin Wangxi sat in the old, worn-out room, looking at the man in front of her who was busy tidying up miscellaneous items.
The man was very handsome, with well-defined features and deep-set eyes.
Although the white shirt he wore had already begun to pill, the aura he carried was completely out of place in this shabby room.
The man’s hand paused as he cleaned the table.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke. “You can sleep in Yue’an’s room.”
Lin Wangxi puffed out her cheeks, clearly unwilling.
She was not used to sleeping with others, but being dependent on someone else’s home, she did not dare to protest.
If it had been a day ago, she would definitely have been angry and refused outright.
But now, she could only look at the man pitifully.
Just yesterday, she had finally discovered that she was actually the vicious fake heiress in a novel.
Yesterday, she had still been the eldest daughter of the Lin family, with a driver, bodyguards, a villa, and a family that adored her.
Then yesterday afternoon, a girl about her age had arrived at the house.
Her parents, with red eyes, told her that girl was their biological daughter, and that she herself had been switched at birth twenty-three years ago.
Lin Wangxi could not accept this fact. She turned and ran out of the house, only to be hit by a car the moment she stepped outside, resulting in a fractured leg.
Before this, she had often had dreams.
Dreams of dying in various ways—each death different—until she had grown numb to it.
She thought they were just ordinary recurring dreams, but they had actually been hints of her fate.
In the novel, after the true heiress returned, she caused chaos everywhere, lost everyone’s support, and died miserably on the streets.
As for the man in front of her—
He was Zhou Jinyuan, the boyfriend she had forced into a relationship with half a year ago through underhanded means.
Unexpectedly, he was also the main villain.
However, the novel had written that Zhou Jinyuan had been driven into becoming a villain because of her.
Because she was too troublesome.
She often made unreasonable demands, like asking him to drive her to New York on a whim, or suddenly wanting to climb Mount Everest in the middle of the night.
Well… that really was excessive.
So after her death, everyone connected to her was thoroughly taken revenge on by Zhou Jinyuan.
Yesterday, she had spent the night alone in the hospital, and in the end, she had no choice but to call Zhou Jinyuan and ask him to pick her up.
She had thought that, given how much he disliked her, he wouldn’t come.
But unexpectedly, he did.
Unlike in the novel, she did not hide the fact that she was a fake heiress, and told him the truth.
Surprisingly, he did not despise her. Instead, he said, “If you don’t mind, you can stay at my place for now.”
Zhou Jinyuan looked at her sitting blankly on the sofa.
This was the first time he had seen Lin Wangxi without makeup.
Previously, she always wore heavy makeup, looking mature. Combined with her arrogant personality, she gave off an unapproachable vibe.
At this moment, although she looked haggard and her hair was slightly messy, the sharpness she once had was gone. She had returned to her original appearance, appearing more lively and spirited.
He had originally thought she was making up another outrageous excuse like before—last time it was being abducted by aliens, and this time becoming a fake heiress.
But seeing her suddenly become so obedient, it seemed that what she said was mostly true.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, “If you don’t mind, you can sleep in my room.”
When he said this, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Because the place he lived in was too shabby.
In the past, Lin Wangxi wouldn’t even step foot here—not just this house, but even the entrance of the urban village.
He lived in an old residential area on the outskirts of the city—more precisely, an urban village.
It was lively, but the environment was poor. Garbage could be seen everywhere, and the roads were uneven.
Construction was happening everywhere, yet after digging for over half a year, nothing had been properly fixed.
Every morning, the deafening sound of drilling filled the air.
When Lin Wangxi heard that she could sleep in his room, her eyes lit up. Were they finally going to share a bed?
She had chased him relentlessly for half a year, and in the end, even used his younger sister’s surgery as leverage to force this cold and aloof man to lower his head and agree to be her boyfriend for a year.
After that, he began fulfilling the contract. Although he complied with her every request, he remained distant and cold.
So far, their relationship had only progressed to the stage of kissing.
No, that didn’t even count as kissing. Did a brief touch of lips really count?
Such a stingy man.
If she could sleep with him, even if she died six months later, she would have no regrets.
But after being happy for two seconds, Lin Wangxi remembered that he was the main villain. Her restless thoughts immediately subsided.
“Zhou Jinyuan, I’m no longer the Lin family’s eldest daughter. Why don’t you break up with me?”
Zhou Jinyuan pondered as he continued tidying the table, replying casually, “I’m poor too. Why do you still want to be with me?”
The coffee table was piled with messy materials that Lin Wangxi couldn’t understand.
Aside from that, everything else was relatively clean.
“Uh…”
She couldn’t exactly say it was because she lusted after his body, could she?
Half a year ago, when she first saw Zhou Jinyuan, she had been completely captivated by his face. Unfortunately, he was too hard to win over. If she hadn’t used threats, she wouldn’t even be sitting here now.
Before Lin Wangxi could come up with an answer, Zhou Jinyuan added, “The agreement hasn’t expired yet. I won’t take advantage of you.”
Lin Wangxi felt like he was hinting at something, but she had no proof.
Zhou Jinyuan added, “If you want to break up, I won’t force you.”
Seeing how responsible he was, she felt a bit touched.
Lin Wangxi lowered her head in thought.
Her leg was broken now, and she couldn’t walk. She really had nowhere to go.
As for her friends… better forget it.
Back when they were of similar status, they could hang out together.
Now that she had become an ordinary person, going back to them would only invite ridicule.
She originally had over two million, but a few days ago she had spent it on in-game purchases—buying a pair of wings—and now she only had fifty thousand left in her account.
In the past, whenever she ran out of money, she would just ask her parents. Now, that was no longer an option.
Thinking of this, Lin Wangxi hurriedly shook her head. “Then… let’s not break up for now…”
Zhou Jinyuan had already finished cleaning the table and neatly placed the boxes of materials to the side.
He looked at her. “What are your plans from now on?”
Lin Wangxi was confused. “What plans?”
Zhou Jinyuan said, “Our team has disbanded. I’m over four million in debt, and all I have on me amounts to less than six thousand. I probably… can’t give you much.”
