“This isn’t charity, and I’m not doing a good deed! I’ve said before, I won’t do anything without benefit,” he stared into her angry beautiful eyes. “Why are you so angry?”
She stomped her foot, “Of course, because you interfered in my affairs without even asking me!”
“So you’d rather lose this house than accept my help?”
“Why should I accept your help?” She felt belittled, believing she was capable of handling things herself. What right did he have to interfere in her private matters? He was just her client!
“Help comes with a price.”
He hadn’t originally wanted to discuss this at this time and place, but seeing her stubborn and unwilling to compromise, he had no other choice.
“Do you think I would spend a large sum to buy an expensive apartment and give it to a stylist who has nothing to do with me?”
She glared at him, “What do you mean?”
“It means the money for buying this house is a loan to you.”
She glanced at the price, “I can’t pay it back, at least not in a short time.”
“Can’t pay it back within three months?”
“That’s right!” How could she possibly repay it? Her savings over the years had been spent on buying the house. With a monthly salary of 80,000, how could she possibly repay it within two months?
“Very well,” he said calmly, “If you can’t pay it back in three months, then marry me.”
Huh? What did he say? Marry… marry him?
She stared wide-eyed, frozen for a full thirty seconds, “Did you misspeak, or did I mishear?”
He smiled, “I’m going to find Yukino. You didn’t mishear. I’m indeed proposing to you.”
Yuan Xingcan leaned against the wall, feeling slightly dizzy and warm.
It must be because she hadn’t slept yet. She now knew that staying up late was not only the enemy of beauty but could also cause auditory hallucinations, so she was going to sleep.
She staggered to the door, her hand just touching the doorknob when Ke Nanyu’s voice rang in her ear, “You haven’t given me an answer yet – either pay back or marry me.”
“Wow!” She was startled by his sudden appearance, “Do you always pop out and scare people like this?”
