Clearly sensing that Wen Huaiyan was acting strangely, Li Ruo was slightly taken aback; he was actually serious this time.
At this moment, Li Ruo's heart couldn't help but waver, after all, they had many beautiful memories together.
But in the blink of an eye, images of Wen Huaiyan imprisoning and torturing her uncontrollably surfaced in her mind, becoming increasingly vivid.
In an instant, the desire for freedom filled her mind, and her cry grew louder and louder.
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Ruo simply pointed at Bai Chuan and said, "I choose him!"
Because she wants freedom!
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan froze slightly, and for the first time ever, a hurt expression appeared in his eyes.
Although the answer was already given, he couldn't help but frown and ask again to confirm, "Are you serious?"
To her surprise, the man didn't get angry, and Li Ruo subconsciously looked up.
But when she met those deep black eyes, her body stiffened involuntarily, and she didn't want to continue testing them, so she nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, Wen Huaiyan's last glimmer of hope was shattered.
He sneered, "Fine, you made your own choice!"
He left with a single sentence, then turned and left without looking at Li Ruo again.
However, looking at his tall figure, Li Ruo felt a strange sense of loss and helplessness.
But this result may already be the best for them.
Just as Li Ruo was sighing, Bai Chuan walked over with a smug look on his face: "How was my performance just now?"
You know, he had used all his skills to help her just now.
However, this Wen Huai inkstone is different from the one in the rumors.
He glanced thoughtfully in the direction where Wen Huaiyan had disappeared, then looked at Li Ruo and frowned in confusion, asking, "Are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo finally came to her senses. Not wanting Bai Chuan to notice anything, she quickly suppressed her earlier disappointment and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "I'm fine. Thank you for what happened earlier."
As she spoke, she bowed deeply to the other person with great gratitude.
Getting rid of Wen Huaiyan was one thing, but more importantly, he had just saved her life.
Bai Chuan didn't think much of it at first, but seeing Li Ruo's polite manner, he couldn't help but have the idea of teasing her. The next second, he raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm your savior, and I even helped you get rid of the people you didn't like. All you're doing is saying thank you?"
Hearing this, Li Ruo paused for two seconds, then took out a wad of cash from her bag and handed it over: "I was in a hurry to leave today and didn't bring that much cash. If you think it's not enough, I can give you an IOU first."
After all, the debt of saving her life did need to be repaid, and she never intended to just leave like that.
Since Shirakawa had taken the initiative to speak, she might as well go along with it.
However, when Shirakawa looked at the money she offered, he couldn't help but find it amusing and said incredulously, "Do you think I care about this little bit of money?"
You have to understand, he is the heir to the Bai family business, and money is the last thing he needs.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's expression stiffened, and she took a deep breath before coldly asking, "Then what do you want?"
Bai Chuan had been waiting for these words. He looked Li Ruo up and down, a hint of admiration in his eyes, and teased her, "How about you repay me with your body?"
There was a clear sense of anticipation in his eyes as he said this.
But before she could finish speaking, Li Ruo rejected her sharply without hesitation: "Impossible!"
As she spoke, her face suddenly turned cold, and without thinking, she turned and left.
Although she knew Shirakawa's character beforehand and knew that he wouldn't say anything serious, she never expected him to make such a shameless request.
Since the other party wasn't sincerely trying to discuss this issue, then don't blame her for being impolite.
After all, she had other things to do and didn't have time to waste here.
However, Shirakawa had finally seized this opportunity and naturally didn't want to let it go easily, so he hurriedly chased after her and stopped her, saying with a playful expression, "It's fine if you don't offer yourself to me, but you can at least have a meal with me, right?"
You know, he saved her more than once, he can't really be so heartless, can he?
However, Li Ruo had already seen through his ill intentions, and couldn't help but snort coldly, her gaze turning sinister as she exposed him: "I think it's more than just eating, isn't it?"
You should know that Shirakawa is a notorious playboy. His deeds are well-known in the industry, and his methods of picking up girls are countless.
Unfortunately, she had already experienced its power once before, through Wen Changfeng.
Having been reborn, she wouldn't let herself fall into another trap.
Bai Chuan was surprised by Li Ruo's keen insight and couldn't help but look at her with new respect.
But since he had already said it this far, he couldn't take it back, so he simply smiled and admitted, "It's so refreshing to talk to smart people. To be honest, I've fallen in love with Miss Li at first sight..."
