Zhao Dalong is 1.85 meters tall. He has only one grandmother and was neglected since childhood. He is a notorious troublemaker in the area.

He wouldn't even glance at someone like Zhou Xuan. If she weren't innocent and willing to pay him, he wouldn't have given her a second look.

Especially after hearing that she was going to marry the young master of the Zheng family, she looked at him like trash every time they met.

So when she came to him on her own, he also felt a secret thrill.

Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Zhao Dalong didn't stop eating, saying nonchalantly, "What does it matter to me if she has a child? How can you be so sure it's mine? Tch~"

Zhou Xuan's eyes immediately reddened, and she said shyly, "Da Long, how can you say that? I gave you my first time, and I haven't been with anyone else since, so the child must be yours."

Zhou Ming, a grown man, was full of anger, but he had no money or power, and his body was thin and weak. Compared to Zhao Dalong, he looked like a little chick.

He lowered his head, staring angrily at Zhao Dalong, sitting motionless on the stool, consumed by impotent rage.

Zhao Dalong felt his gaze, glanced at him indifferently, and didn't take this weakling seriously at all.

He looked at Zhou Xuan and said with amusement, "What? You want to marry me? Where did you get the nerve?"

"The first time you came to me, I gave you five taels of silver after I slept with you. Ask your brother how much silver it costs to find a curvy woman in a brothel?"

Zhou Xuan's face turned pale. There were people all around, how could he have just blurted it out so casually?

She was broke and starving at the time, and when she saw Zhao Dalong buy roast chicken, she couldn't resist knocking on his door.

Zhao Dalong offered to give her food, but she would have to give something in return. She knew perfectly well what that would mean.

She regretted it later, but unexpectedly, Zhao Dalong gave her money after the event, which made her feel much better.

She received money every time after that, and over time, she gradually fell in love with Zhao Dalong. Having money and enough to eat was so much better than being at home.

As a result, he now sees himself as a prostitute!

Her heart ached terribly! The shyness from before vanished, and she stared blankly at Zhao Dalong, her face pale.

Zhao Xiaohu, standing to the side, felt incredibly annoyed by her pathetic state and immediately started spitting out: "Come on! Don't act like you like my boss. When you saw my boss on the street, you looked down on him like he was all high and mighty. Have you forgotten that?"

"And another thing, that day your new dad told you to stay away from trash like us, didn't you respond perfectly?"

"Every time you take my boss's money, you immediately go and buy cosmetics, silks, and satins. Aren't you quite happy with how you spend it?"

“If you’re going to sell yourself, you need to have professional ethics. Look at what you’re doing, how is it any different from what prostitutes do? At least they have some ethics, they’re just doing their jobs for money.”

"What do you mean by this? Acting like you've been abandoned? With your plain and unattractive appearance, you don't even get any business in this building! Don't believe me? Ask your brother, would anyone want someone like you?"

Zhou Xuan turned to look at her brother sadly, and Zhou Ming hurriedly lowered his head.

After Zhao Dalong had eaten and drunk his fill, he ignored the crying Zhou Xuan, stood up, called to his underlings, and left.

Only Zhou Xuan and Zhou Ming remained.

Just a week later, Zhou Ming, who had been cautious, became assertive again and started cursing at Zhou Xuan.

"How could I have such a shameless sister like you, getting pregnant out of wedlock? You're utterly disgraceful."

Zhou Xuan had already seen through his despicable nature and angrily said, "Shut up! You have no right to scold me. You've spent half of my money, all because you're useless. If you had money, I wouldn't have sold myself for a bite to eat and ended up like this!"

Zhou Ming was furious that she had hit the nail on the head, and he slapped her repeatedly across the face.

Worried that the pregnant woman might get into trouble, Shen Jiaojiao stood up and shouted at Zhou Ming, "Stop!"

"What's it to you! I'm her brother, it's my right to discipline my sister, it's none of your business."

"If you keep fighting, what if something happens to her child? We'll have to spend money. Do you have that kind of money?"

"Hmph! What a jinx!" Zhou Ming wasn't afraid of her; he was just broke and worried about having to pay for it himself.

Shen Jiaojiao watched Zhou Ming flee in panic before turning around and continuing to eat.

However, she didn't want to cause trouble, but Zhou Xuan clung to her all by herself.

At this time, Shen Jiaojiao was still dressed as a man, looking every bit the wealthy young master.

Zhou Xuan came over and immediately knelt down in front of Shen Jiaojiao. She straightened her body, her eyes brimming with tears, and pitifully said to Shen Jiaojiao, "Young master, thank you for saving my life."

After saying that, he started kowtowing repeatedly.

Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat. What was wrong with this woman? Was she going to be framed?

Her premonition soon came true.

"Young master, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, so I am willing to offer myself to you." Zhou Xuan had already made up her mind when she saw Shen Jiaojiao appear.

This guy looks rich and young. He only latched onto Zhao Dahu because he had nothing to eat before. Now, this guy is clearly a hundred times better than Zhao Dahu, no, a thousand times or ten thousand times better!

Even a servant can get enough to eat.

Shen Jiaojiao was absolutely disgusted.

What kind of deities are these? Back in modern times, I tried to help someone but got kicked in return, and ended up losing my life.

I just saved her life out of kindness, what does she mean by that?

They were thinking of pulling me along, but do they think I'm that easy to bully?

Chu Tianling, who was standing to the side, had already turned pale. He tried to stand up, but Shen Jiaojiao grabbed his hand.

She glanced at Chu Tianling, signaling him to stay put and watch her.

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Jiaojiao asked coldly.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was pregnant, she would have slapped them across the face long ago.

"Young master, can you take me with you? I eat little and am easy to feed, and I can do anything!" Zhou Xuan gave Shen Jiaojiao a seductive look, mimicking how she used to seduce Zhao Dahu.

Shen Jiaojiao felt like vomiting from the shock. A bean sprout was winking at her, and she couldn't bear to look at it.

The people sitting at the surrounding tables were his subordinates, and they had all been watching from beginning to end. Now, seeing this ugly woman struggling to seduce the Crown Princess, their expressions were extremely ferocious.

I really want to laugh, but I don't dare to!

Help! Where did this crazy woman come from? Unbelievable!

"I just heard you say you might be pregnant, right? It's not a good idea for you to come with me like this, is it? Children need both parents, don't you think?"

Zhou Xuan covered one eye with a handkerchief and cried pitifully, "Waaah, young master! I have no choice. That man doesn't like me. As long as you don't mind, I'll make him call you father after the child is born."

Holy crap! What's so great about having a fake father? Where does he get the nerve?!
