"Ex-husband?"

Is she really not shy about it?

Lu Huaichen pretended to be surprised, "I didn't expect that my sister is so young and has been married."

"I got married when I was 20 years old. I've been with him for three years and just divorced a while ago." Tang Muyan's voice was hoarse. She quietly withdrew her hand from the boy's body, looking sad.

Lu Huaichen thought she was sad because she left him, so he raised his hand and touched her thin shoulders, patting her gently.

She's just being stubborn. After all, this woman can't bear to part with him.

The next second, Tang Muyan's resentful voice was overheard by Lu Huaichen. The turn was so sudden that his movements froze for a moment.

"I wasted three years of my youth. It hurts me to think about it. I haven't even had a serious relationship yet."

The five outstretched fingers suddenly clenched, he closed his eyes, sighed slightly, and suppressed the anger that was about to burst out.

Lu Huaichen gritted his teeth secretly: I really want to strangle her to death.

"What about you? How old are you?" Tang Muyan tilted her head towards him, a small dimple forming on the side of her face.

Against the backdrop of the black ribbon, there is a hint of cuteness in the charm.

Don't act, it's very natural.

Lu Huaichen stared at her blankly, the depression in his heart gradually dissipated in the woman's smile. After he came to his senses, he made up an age: "I... nineteen."

"Nineteen~" Tang Muyan lowered her head thoughtfully and counted on her fingers, "I am twenty-three this year, and you are nineteen, four years younger than me."

'Nineteen, you are an adult, you can eat now.'

Lu Huaichen frowned slightly. Do you like young girls so much?

"Brother, you have such a good figure, are you from a sports school?" Tang Muyan's hands started to get naughty again, and she stretched out her fingertips to poke Lu Huaichen's abdominal muscles.

'Hard.'

Lu Huaichen nodded subconsciously: "Yes."

"Are you poor? Why do you come here to work?" Tang Muyan leaned forward slightly, rested her arms on her knees, supported her face with her hands, and asked casually.

"Well, I was very poor. My parents died when I was young."

The boy spoke in a nonchalant and calm tone, and he didn't feel that this would hurt his self-esteem.

Lu Huaichen always remembered Shen Yi's advice: "Remember, you must create an image of poverty, and make yourself sound miserable, such as your parents are dead, and your family environment is not good since childhood."

"Tang Muyan has experienced this since she was a child. If you tell her this, she will easily empathize with you. When you come here in the future, she will naturally love you more often."

Coming back to his senses, he smiled and said, "Actually, sister, I am wearing my best clothes to see you today."

There was a hint of bitterness in his indifferent tone. Lu Huaichen turned his misery into the extreme and successfully aroused Tang Muyan's sympathy.

Tang Muyan was slightly stunned, and murmured in her heart, "So he is so miserable."

"Are you...are you an orphan?"

"No." Lu Huaichen opened his eyes and continued to make up stories: "I am lucky to have grandparents to take care of me."

"However, my grandfather was recently hospitalized and had a serious illness, so I came here..." He paused and pulled the corners of his lips sarcastically, "Sister, do you think I am a disaster star?"

Lu Huaichen seemed to be completely immersed in the role, his tone was sad and gentle, and even a tear squeezed out of the corner of his eye, which just fell on the palm of Tang Muyan's hand.

Feeling the sudden wetness, Tang Muyan's fists clenched unconsciously, and her heartbeat skipped a beat. "Is he crying?"

She began to blame herself, "If I had known you were so miserable, I wouldn't have teased you just now."

Thinking of Lu Huaichen's tragic experience, she couldn't help but shed tears, wetting the black eye mask and slowly flowing down her cheeks.

"Sister, don't cry. It's not worth it for someone like me." Lu Huaichen gently wiped away the wetness on her cheek with his fingertips.

What Shen Yi said was indeed correct. Tang Muyan easily empathized with this "stranger".

Tang Muyan suddenly grabbed Lu Huaichen's hand and held it tightly.

At this moment, she only wanted to give him the best things in the world. He should have been a handsome and bright young man, and his youth should have been his best years, but he was trapped in this mud and contaminated by the world.

The more Tang Muyan thought about it, the more her heart ached. 'No, I can't let him be like me in the past.'

Like her, like her what?

Lu Huaishen's brows jumped. He believed that Tang Muyan had never been hurt in the few years she had been with him. Could something have happened before they got married?

Tang Muyan sobbed: "Why do you care how much money they borrowed?"

Many of these boys who sell themselves here have borrowed money and cannot pay it back, so they are forced to come here and sell their bodies to pay off their debts.

How could Lu Huaichen know how much was appropriate to borrow? He had never had any concept of money.

Seeing that he hadn't said anything for a long time, Tang Muyan tapped the back of his hand with her fingertips, "Speak up, I'll help you pay back the money."

"No need." Lu Huaichen refused, his tone revealing stubbornness, "I can pay it back myself."

She frowned slightly, her face serious, "You don't even have a presentable shirt, what are you going to give back?"

'What a fool.'

It’s not that Tang Muyan wanted to attack him on purpose, she just wanted him to see the reality and not force himself. Sometimes compromising with reality may not be a bad thing.

"I..." Lu Huaichen's voice unconsciously became smaller.

"Even if you don't tell me, I can find out from Shen Yi."

Tang Muyan raised her head and said in a high voice: "I didn't redeem you for nothing. If I redeem you, you will be mine."

The strands of hair on her temples had fallen down at some point, and Lu Huaichen raised his hand and gently pushed them behind her ears.

"Sister, you haven't even seen me, why are you redeeming me?"

Tang Muyan reacted and said with a droopy face: "Yes, I haven't even seen you."

She rested her chin on her hand, pretending to think, then raised the corner of her mouth, smiled, and said softly: "Then let me see it."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand to remove the ribbon covering her eyes.
