"Sigh, to make it easier for my uncle to keep track of the expenses, I have to rack my brains to calculate the bills when I make purchases. I'm so sensible that it breaks my heart," Shi Nian sighed.

"Heh." Ye Chen curled his lips in a mocking smile, his powerful aura making him appear like an emperor looking down upon all living beings. "Is this the method you spoke of, the way to make me regret it?"

A mere two hundred million was nothing to him; he didn't care about it at all.

Did she think that would anger him?

ridiculous.

Shi Nian said innocently, "Uncle has wronged me. Before today, I didn't know that Uncle would pay for my dress."

So, this was just a side effect.

Her revenge hasn't even begun yet.

Ye Chen stared at her with cold, gloomy eyes for a long time.

That sharp gaze seemed to transform into a razor-sharp sword, tearing away her false pretense.

Shi Nian smiled and met his gaze. "It seems my outfit was a great success. Even my uncle couldn't take his eyes off me. I got a very good deal on those two hundred million."

Ye Chen said coolly, "You're so young and your eyesight is already bad. Since your eyes are so useless, you can donate them to someone in need."

Shi Nian: "..."

Seeing Shi Nian's frustrated expression, Ye Chen was in a great mood.

I finally beat her this time.

But just then, the car suddenly shook and jolted violently.

Shi Nian's body lurched forward due to inertia.

"Sizzle—"

With a screech of brakes, the car came to a stop.

Shi Nian, however, had already thrown herself onto Ye Chen.

The moment Shi Nian lunged forward, Ye Chen instinctively reached out and caught her.

Because we were so close, I could smell the woman's faint fragrance as soon as I looked down.

Shi Nian's hand, desperately searching for a foothold, gripped his thigh tightly...

Shi Nian: "..."

Shi Nian calmly withdrew his hand.

She tried to sit up straight, but Ye Chen still held her tightly.

"Uncle, thank you for helping me just now, but you can let go now," she calmly reminded him.

Ye Chen's cold gaze shifted from her face to her right hand.

A sinister, cold voice, brimming with danger, escaped his thin lips: "This hand, do you want to feed it to the dogs, or use it as fertilizer?"

Shi Nian said earnestly, "I want it to stay with me."

"Heh." A bloodthirsty laugh sent chills down one's spine. "Do you think it still has a chance to stay with you after touching something it shouldn't have? Hmm?"
