Chapter 18
Qiao Mu immediately became nervous. “What is there to talk about? You did… such a thing to me when I was drunk. What are we even going to talk about? You better not try to evade responsibility!”
The corners of Li Yan’s lips curled up. “You want me to… take responsibility?”
He did not really expect this. For a moment, he did not know how to react to this little thing.
“Of course you must take responsibility. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world!” Qiao Mu said firmly. She extended her hand. “I’m not asking for much. 300,000 RMB, and I’ll forget whatever had happened. I promise that I won’t hound you regarding this matter, and that I’ll keep it a secret!”
Li Yan’s smile faded when he heard what Qiao Mu said, and his expression immediately became extremely icy.
He narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was cold. “300,000 RMB?”
Was this what she meant when she asked him to take responsibility? She wanted money from him?
When Qiao Mu saw his sudden change in expression, she shrunk subconsciously. ‘Is 300,000 RMB too much for him? But with this man’s net worth, to him, 300,000 RMB is like what 3 RMB is to ordinary people. He’s not even willing to give me 300,000 RMB?
‘But yesterday was my first time! Isn’t he being a little too stingy?’
He did not used to be so stingy. Back when she was young, Qiao Ya deliberately ate a lollipop in front of her to show off. This made her extremely envious, and she was salivating. But she told Qiao Ya in disdain that lollipops caused tooth decay in children. That particular brand of lollipop caused more than 20 RMB, and that was a huge sum to a child. But Li Yan bought a lot of it for her, and she ended up having cavities.
Qiao Mu decided to stop thinking about the past. She had not seen him for ten years, and even though they were very close, they were now strangers. This man before him was no longer the big brother she remembered.
Qiao Mu straightened her back and cleared her throat. “If you feel sorry about what has happened, you can give me 3,000,000 RMB!”
As expected, after she said that, Li Yan’s expression turned even darker. The aura he emanated was so cold that it could practically freeze people to death.
‘Great! This young woman is still as good at pissing people off as ever. In fact, she needs a good smack!’
Li Yan forcefully pulled the bathrobe off his body. Just when Qiao Mu thought that he was about to pounce on her and do something indecent, Li Yan picked up his clothes and started putting them on.
He was actually getting dressed in front of him just like that!
Li Yan tightened his grip on his clothes, and the veins on his hands were bulging. His voice was ice-cold. “Qiao Mu, listen up! I don’t plan to take responsibility!”
“What!?” Qiao Mu did not expect him to give such a straightforward reply, and she widened her eyes in disbelief. “Li Yan, are you trying to dine and dash!?”
Li Yan was rendered speechless.
To her, what he had done was unacceptable. But she was only so shocked and stunned because he refused to give her money. If he were to pay her, there would no longer be anything between them. She had never thought of things from his perspective!
Just a moment ago, he even thought that this young woman was merely being as straightforward to him as she used to be ten years ago. What she had said after that totally caught him off guard!
Even though Li Yan was extremely furious, he was putting on his clothes very slowly. He slowly buttoned up his shirt with his long and slender fingers. “300,000 RMB is indeed too little for someone’s virginity. 3,000,000 RMB is still okay.”
After Li Yan said this, he could see that Qiao Mu’s eyes had visibly lit up. His expression darkened as he continued, “Qiao Mu, based on the way things progressed last night, you were the one who initiated the s*x, and I merely helped you out so that you don’t have to suffer the effects of the aphrodisiac. You’re the one who should take responsibility instead. So, you should be giving me 3,000,000 RMB!”
Qiao Mu was immediately rendered speechless, and she did not know what was going on.
‘I should take responsibility?
‘I should give him 3,000,000 RMB?’
‘Why is he so shameless!?’
After pausing for a moment, Li Yan added, “Last night, it was my first time too.”
Qiao Mu did not say anything.
‘First time? He’s obviously lying!’
