C9 Chapter 9

After Xiao Qian was done for the day, Su Yue agreed to dine with him.

He chose a most romantic restaurant. Xiao Qian brought along a bottle of treasured red wine with him.

The two drank a few glasses of the red wine and talked casually.

Xiao Qian suddenly asked her, "Are you lacking in money? Why are you always so cut-throat, fighting like a wolf?"

Su Yue nodded. "I'm short, very short indeed."

Xiao Qian wondered if a tragedy had happened to her. Did her parents value men more than women, or had something else happened to her family?

"Why are you short of money?" Xiao Gan queried in a soft voice.

Maybe he could help her out...

Su Yue pointed at her own face. "Maintaining my lifestyle is tough. Products, cosmetics, top quality treatments. I need the very best of all."

She then pointed at her body. "I had private education, top quality. My clothes and bags are all fresh collections of the current season. The tea leaves in my house are of top quality, the tableware is top quality, and the furniture and decor is top notch. Won't I lack money spending on so many thing?"

Xiao Qian felt that it was fortunate that he didn't say his thought out loud. Otherwise, she would have laughed till he was dripping with embarrassment.

He stared at Su Yue with disapproval. Su Yue sensed his objection and replied, "I earn my own money and spend it on myself. I want to make my life more comfortable. Is that such a sin?"

Xiao Gan thought about it and nodded at last.

After a few more glasses of wine, the two of them were very aware of their attraction. No one knew whose eyes met the other's first. Or was it an ambiguous sentence that one of them uttered? In any case, once again they ended up spending time with each other after drinking.

This time, it was at Su Yue's house.

Xiao Gan took a look around, observing how Su Yue's rented house was bustling with comfortable furnishings. The decor were indeed extraordinary.

In the wardrobe were clothes of luxury brands, and the dressing table was full of high-end products.

From the looks of it, she was not short of money.

Before he could see more, Su Yue hooked her finger with his and said coquettishly, "Come on."

Xiao Gan could not be bothered to look at her house any longer. A wave of fire surged inside him. He picked up Su Yue and threw her onto the bed, pressing heavily on her...

When Su Yue woke up, her entire body ached.

But when she turned to look at the handsome face beside her, she felt that the pain was worth it.

After all, he was so very handsome.

She caressed Xiao Gan's muscles in infatuation, thinking that she would get a chance to appreciate them again later. Suddenly Xiao Gan's phone rang.

He turned over in a daze to answer the phone. Su Yue inadvertently glanced at the number. When she saw the called ID with the familiar number, she was stunned.

Xiao Gan yawned after he spoke quietly into the phone, then hugged Su Yue. He caressed her collarbone lovingly. "I haven't had enough."

Su Yue came out of his arms with a fake smile on her face. "But I have to get up. It's dawn."

Xiao Gan was surprised. "Isn't it Saturday?"

Su Yue went into the bathroom to wash up. Xiao Gan followed her with a confused look on his face. When he saw Su Yue enter the bath, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. "It's Saturday. Where do you have to go so early?"

"I have an appointment today at the clinic to freeze my eggs. I have to leave early," Su Yue said from behind the shower curtain.

Xiao Gan was stunned again. He did not know how many times now this woman had surprised him. "Why are you freezing your eggs?"

"When I have enough money, I will give birth to a baby. It will hurt," Su Yue said casually as if she was talking about going to a convenience store.

"Why don't you get married and give birth then?" Xiao Gan was shocked.

"Men are not worth my time and energy, but my children will be worth it." Su Yue smiled at him.

Xiao Gan suddenly felt defeated.
