Xiao Xin looked him straight in the eye: "Get out of my way."
Mo Xuan looked at his cold eyes and suddenly felt deflated.
"Ah, how heartless." He released Xiao Xin and stepped back to the other side of the sofa, running a hand through his hair.
Xiao Xin propped himself up on the sofa, straightened his bathrobe, and was about to say something when his phone on the coffee table rang.
Xiao Xin picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from the loan shark.
When will this month's payment be made?
Xiao Xin replied, "Isn't there still five days left?"
The other person: "Then why are you running?"
Xiao Xin: "I have no money."
The other party replied, "You're kidding me. Didn't you hook up with that eldest son of the Fu family? How could you be broke?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin remembered that he had put the two million yuan that Yu Muqing had given him into a card, along with the twenty thousand yuan he owed Yu Muqing, and had given it to the housekeeper when he left the villa.
He only has enough money left to pay for his father's hospitalization for six months.
Xiao Xin didn't reply. The other party sent another message: "This time it's five million. Raise the money as soon as possible. We're waiting at your door. We'll leave when you pay us back."
As Xiao Xin stared at the text on her phone screen, her breath caught in her throat, and an overwhelming sense of pressure washed over her.
Mo Xuan saw him staring blankly at the screen and was about to lean over to look when Xiao Xin covered the phone on the sofa, tilted his head and asked him, "How much of the profit from that song belongs to me?"
Mo Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I estimate it's two million."
Xiao Xin: "When can we bring it up?"
"This money needs to go through a process, which takes at least three to five days," Mo Xuan said.
Xiao Xin looked at his phone and nodded. "Okay, as soon as possible, I need the money."
He wasn't going to tolerate those people defaulting on their debts; two million was enough to shut them up.
Mo Xuan moved closer to him, asking, "How much do you need? I'll lend it to you."
Xiao Xin glanced at him. "No need. If possible, I might need to stay here for a couple of days."
"Of course!" Mo Xuan answered readily.
As he spoke, he put his arm around Xiao Xin and rubbed his head against her shoulder. "I'd be more than happy if Xiao Xin could stay here with me. I'd stay here for the rest of my life."
Xiao Xin gave him a push, "You should go take a shower too."
Mo Xuan stopped making a fuss and got off him.
In his eyes, Xiao Xin urging him to take a shower was the same as telling him, "Hurry up and take a shower so we can go to sleep together."
Although that's not what Shawn meant.
After Mo Xuan went into the bathroom, Xiao Xin started to drift off into thought again, holding her phone.
He had thought about escaping, but no matter where he fled, the loan sharks could always find him.
Since his father's accident when he was five years old, the burden of paying off debts has fallen on his shoulders.
While other children were still being pampered by their parents and asking for candy at the age of five or six, he had already started learning to serve dishes and wash dishes in restaurants.
When he was young, Yu Jingshan helped them pay off their debts for two years, which eased their days of being chased by loan sharks.
Until Yu Jingshan passed away, the burden of repaying the debt fell entirely on Xiao Xin's shoulders.
Seeing that he was young and had little earning power, the group made him sign a loan agreement, promising to repay it when he came of age.
Xiao Xin knew nothing at the time, and in order to survive, he signed the unfair agreement.
As interest compounded, he discovered that the debt was like a bottomless pit, and he could never pay it off.
Because while he was paying off his debts, Wang Lili would also incur new gambling debts.
Wang Lili hasn't contacted him for almost a month, and he has no idea what this woman has been up to lately.
Xiao Xin had considered that if Wang Lili contacted him again, he would definitely send her to the police station.
After all, Wang Lili can no longer use Xiao Lin to threaten him.
The hospital where Xiao Lin was staying had fairly good security, but after what happened today, Xiao Xin suddenly felt that he should consider changing hospitals for his father again...
When Mo Xuan came out of the shower, he saw Xiao Xin staring blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.
He was shirtless, with only a towel tied around his waist. Seeing that Xiao Xin didn't react, he plopped down next to Xiao Xin.
Mo Xuan shook his half-dry hair and asked him, "What are you thinking about? Let's go upstairs and sleep."
As Mo Xuan spoke, he reached out to grab Xiao Xin's hand, but Xiao Xin pulled away, and Mo Xuan missed.
Mo Xuan looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"
“I’ll sleep on the sofa,” Xiao Xin said.
Mo Xuan stared at him in a daze: "..."
After a brief standoff, Xiao Xin's stomach suddenly growled, reminding her that she hadn't eaten dinner yet.
He turned his face away awkwardly, his ears burning slightly.
Mo Xuan looked at his slightly reddened ears and chuckled, "Hungry?"
Xiao Xin found his mocking laughter inexplicably grating, and glanced at him sideways, "Never seen it before?"
Mo Xuan took the towel off his head and hung it around his neck, then smiled at Xiao Xin, saying, "Wait here, I'll cook you instant noodles."
He then walked toward the kitchen.
As Xiao Xin watched him pass by, she realized that Mo Xuan also had a great physique, with a strong, muscular eight-pack and a healthy tan.
He subconsciously pulled open his bathrobe to look at his lower abdomen.
Great, your abs are becoming less defined.
Ever since he ate Fu Yan's cooking, his stomach has started to feel fuller.
No wonder Fu Yan always rubs his tummy when he sleeps in his arms...
Xiao Xin's eyes stung at the thought of Fu Yan.
He leaned back on the sofa, sniffed, and tried his best to suppress the tears welling up in his eyes.
Fifteen minutes later, Mo Xuan brought two bowls of instant noodles into the living room.
