Sheng Huai slumped in the sofa, tapping the tabletop lightly with his bony fingers, sizing her up with his deep, narrow eyes.
The tone was stiff as if he was negotiating.
"It's been a long time since the creditor has bothered the Su family, right?"
"But do you think everyone is so easy to talk to?"
Su Yun's face turned pale.
Lately, the creditors have become surprisingly easy to talk to, and have stopped going to the hospital to cause trouble like before. Could it be because...
She looked tense and raised her eyes to look at him.
"Do you understand now?"
Sheng Huai looked down at her coldly.
"If it wasn't for my sake, do you think those people would agree to let you pay back your debt slowly just because of a few tears? If it wasn't for the status of the Sheng family, do you think they wouldn't dare to sue your father?"
"You think..."
After a pause, his tone became increasingly harsh and unpleasant.
"Can you dance and play the piano in the club every day?"
"Wake up, if it weren't for the Sheng family, if it weren't for me, your father would have been sent to prison long ago."
Sheng Huai stood up, leaned lazily on the windowsill, shook the cigarette box, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, looking at her with cold eyes.
"Why aren't you talking, Mrs. Sheng?"
"Or, should I call you Miss Su?"
Su Yun's eyes were crystal clear, and her voice was very soft: "What do you want?"
"What do you want?" He frowned, moved closer to her, reached out to touch her long hair, and said in a playful tone: "I just want you to remember that you, Su Yun, don't have any extraordinary abilities. I'm helping you not because I like to do charity, but because I'm not tired of you yet."
"So, if Mrs. Sheng insists on getting a divorce, I won't stop you, but you'd better think clearly about what to do next."
Su Yun sat quietly.
Watch him quietly as he negotiates with you like a businessman.
How she wanted to pick up the cup at hand and throw it at him, then slam the door and leave.
But I can’t.
Sheng Huai was smoking in the twilight, his cold and handsome face half hidden in the darkness.
His dark eyes stared at her, his sullen expression carrying a sense of aggression.
"So, we are now in naked profit, right?"
Su Yun raised the corners of her lips and smiled, but her eyes were very red.
"yes!"
Without any hesitation!
This answer was within Su Yun's expectations.
She tightened the hem of her striped dress, her fingertips turning white, without saying a word.
Sheng Huai put out his cigarette, walked to the bed with his long legs and sat down. He lifted her pale face with his big hands and forced Su Yun to look at him.
The little face in his palm was as pale as paper, and her beautiful eyes were filled with moisture. This time she did not struggle, and let him use his slender fingers to trace and play with her face.
“You are really beautiful.”
He narrowed his dark eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Think about it carefully. Do you want to come back to me and continue to be Mrs. Sheng, or do you want to be the bankrupt daughter with a mother in the hospital, a father in jail, and a huge debt?"
Glancing at her broken expression in the dim light, Sheng Huai raised the corner of his mouth in disdain.
He thought that this woman should face reality.
Su Yun opened the memo on her phone and looked at the long list of numbers on it.
That is the debt that future lives will bear.
Like a mountain.
So that she has no chance to refuse directly.
"Mrs. Sheng."
A cold smile flashed across his eyes. He untied his tie with one hand and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his strong chest and abdomen.
Su Yun was about to suffocate under the scorching gaze.
"What are you hiding from?"
Sheng Huai frowned, suddenly bent down, and picked her up horizontally.
“Hmm…”
"Don't you like it?" He kissed her fiercely.
The originally abstinent and cold face was now smeared with disgrace.
"Mrs. Sheng," he repeated the name over and over again in a confused and hoarse voice, mumbling, "I am very satisfied with you."
"Mr. Sheng, is this a deal?" Su Yun's eyes were red and her voice was trembling.
A tear fell down his arm.
The restless movements on his body stopped, and Sheng Huai lowered his eyes and looked down at the pale face under him.
Her eyes were wet, with traces of tears in the corners, and a few strands of long hair fell on her lips.
"Do I disgust you so much?"
Sheng Huai leaned close to her face and spoke softly.
Their eyes were intertwined and her look was empty.
He paused, his eyes dark with dark colors surging, and he stared at Su Yun for a long time.
The little woman who once put her arms around his neck and expressed her love seemed to have really disappeared.
Sheng Huai felt as if a piece of his heart had been taken away.
He raised his hand and she shrank back slightly.
His eyes were deep as he helped her to tuck up the loose hair that hung between her eyebrows. His tone was very indifferent: "I won't bother you anymore. Go to sleep well."
The night grew darker and the ward returned to its peaceful state.
Su Yun leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the man on the sofa opposite.
Unlike his awkward and rude behavior just now, he was silent, his attitude was abstinent and cold, his shirt was slightly half open, he looked intently at the computer screen through his gold-rimmed glasses, his slender fingers skillfully tapping the keyboard to issue work instructions.
If you get closer, you might even be able to smell the pine scent on your shirt.
Rich, smart and handsome.
He is almost the perfect dream lover in the eyes of all women.
But he is like a tyrant in front of me!
Su Yun raised the corner of her mouth to smile self-deprecatingly, her eyes fell on the screen of her mobile phone. The long string of numbers made her feel breathless.
The embarrassment and helplessness of my father being surrounded by creditors weighed on his mind again.
She buried herself deep in the quilt.
Very long.
Until I can't breathe.
I lifted the quilt again, nothing changed, this was not a dream.
"Sheng Huai."
Su Yun drooped her eyelashes and called his name softly.
Sheng Huai, who was busy negotiating contracts with foreign investors, raised his head, looked at her deeply, and said softly: "Wait a moment."
She nodded and sat quietly, like a beautiful, lifeless puppet.
As autumn approaches, the night wind blows through the window and hits my body, making me feel cold.
Sheng Huai quickly finished the things at hand, walked to the head of the bed with his long legs, and looked at her with deep eyes under the dim light.
"Have you thought about it?"
Su Yun raised her face with tears in the corners of her eyes, but was interrupted by him before she could say anything.
"Does being with me make you feel so wronged?"
He bent down and pulled her shoulders hard: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say."
Su Yun forced herself to say those embarrassing words: "I'm just a compatible sex...partner, right?"
"Even if we get back together, in your eyes, I'm just a nice bed partner, a toy you can use to show off."
"ah!"
She screamed.
I fell into a warm embrace unexpectedly.
Sheng Huai leaned forward, rested his head on her shoulder, stroked her long hair with his big hand, and said in a cold tone: "Go on."
Su Yun lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.
"Let's talk."
