Kang Ningxia turned around and saw Hong Xiaofan staring at him with his big eyes.
Kang Ningxia felt that he and Hong Xiaofan no longer had any connection. He asked in confusion, "Miss Hong, have I ever done anything wrong to you?"
Hong Xiaofan did not answer Kang Ningxia immediately. Her gaze shifted to Shu Jiaying who was about to leave.
"Who are you?"
Shu Jiaying heard the jealousy in Hong Xiaofan's tone, and she looked at Kang Ningxia meaningfully.
"Your friend?"
Kang Ningxia was a slow-paced person when it came to relationships, so he couldn't fathom what Shu Jiaying meant. He answered honestly, "We're not really friends, just casual acquaintances. I thought we'd never see each other again, but who would have thought I'd run into her here?"
This sounds like a man confessing to his wife that he is having an affair with another woman outside, but no... there is no relationship at all.
Hong Xiaofan felt inexplicably uncomfortable because she hesitated for a long time at home before deciding whether to come to find Kang Ningxia. After all, this man "took" her first kiss.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him dressed as a woman, Hong Xiaofan could not hide his bitterness and stretched out his white jade right hand to Kang Ningxia.
"Master Kang, I hope you can pay me back all the debts you owe me, so that from today on, we will have no more debts."
"I owe you money? Oh... I'm sorry, I left in such a hurry that day that I forgot about it."
As he spoke, Kang Ningxia took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Hong Xiaofan.
"Miss, I told you that if you take me to find Aunt Zhao, then this tael of silver will be yours. Although it's a few days late, please accept it."
Hong Xiaofan didn't take the silver from Kang Ningxia. She couldn't help but glance at Shu Jiaying again, then she said sourly, "You want to get rid of me for just one tael of silver? Mr. Kang, do you remember that day when you took away the long dress that belonged to me? I asked the owner of the tailor shop, and he said that the long dress was made of the finest silk, and it was worth at least two taels of silver. So you should give me three taels of silver in total. And seeing how gorgeously your wife is dressed, you shouldn't be the kind of person who needs a few taels of silver, right?"
A few taels of silver is certainly nothing to Kang Ningxia, but this girl Hong Xiaofan actually regards Shu Jiaying as his wife. If this gets to Yu Chenfeng's ears, will he still be alive?
Kang Ningxia put away his usual smile and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense here."
"What...you said I was talking nonsense? Do you mean I was trying to trick you? Well...well, Kang Ningxia, I didn't expect you to be the kind of person who wouldn't admit your mistakes. This time, just think of me, Hong Xiaofan, as being blind. I'll use the three taels of silver to buy you medicine, humph!"
Without waiting for Kang Ningxia to explain, Hong Xiaofan ran away.
Kang Ningxia was puzzled, but he was not the kind of person who would not acknowledge his debt, so he called a waiter on the spot.
Kang Ningxia said to the clerk, "Please take three taels of silver to the Weiyuan Escort Agency for me and say that this is a token of gratitude to the young lady of the Weiyuan Escort Agency for finding someone for me."
The clerk immediately agreed: "Okay, young master, I will go to Weiyuan Escort Agency right away."
After giving the silver away, Kang Ningxia finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up again, he saw a smile on Shu Jiaying's face that he couldn't understand.
