"What is it? Speak." Tang Yu's tone turned icy. How dare this damned woman reject him? So many women dream of getting close to him; he, Tang Yu, has never been rejected by a woman before!
He held the wine glass and downed it in one gulp, as if to clear away something from his chest.
"Second Master Tang, I heard from Madam Ou that you bought a thousand-year-old ginseng at the auction. Ou Zihan is seriously ill and needs this ginseng. I'd like you to make an offer and sell it to me, okay? I know this ginseng is a rare treasure, one in a hundred years, and extremely precious. It wasn't easy for you to obtain it. However, this is a matter of life and death. Could you please help me out for the sake of our acquaintance?"
Luo Xiaoyi's beautiful eyes flickered with sorrow and pleading, her expectant gaze fixed on Tang Yu. Zihan's illness was breaking her heart, and she was determined to get this done.
"Is it because of ginseng again?" Tang Yu slammed the wine glass down on the coffee table with a bang. His long, slender fingers gripped the glass tightly, and his eyes turned icy cold, as if they were hiding a deep hatred!
Mentioning this ginseng reminded Tang Yu of Qing'er, who had caused him so much heartache—a painful reminder of his betrayal! His blood boiled with rage!
Moreover, this Luo Xiaoyi is so arrogant. She doesn't even want to drink with him, yet she wants his ginseng? Who does she think she is? Does Tang Yu think he's so easy to talk to?
He has always been like this. Even if others try their best to please him, he may not give them what they want. But Luo Xiaoyi is so arrogant that you can forget about it!

"Luo Xiaoyi, what makes you think I'd give you ginseng? What's our relationship? You saved my life, but I saved yours too. I've repaid your debt, we're even. I have no obligation to help you. I, Tang Yu, have plenty of money, and I don't need to sell this unique ginseng to make money. Please leave!"
Tang Yu's cold and resolute tone had already ruthlessly dismissed him. He poured himself another glass of wine and began to drink it by himself. Of course, his face was very gloomy, like a dark, overcast day, chillingly cold.
He grabbed the tablet from the sofa, placed it on his long legs, and started watching it as if no one else was around. It was as if Luo Xiaoyi's presence or absence was unnecessary to him, and he didn't care at all.
Luo Xiaoyi suddenly felt as if the whole room had frozen over, and she felt as if she were frozen as well, unable to move. For a moment, her mind was in chaos, and she didn't know what to do. Although she had been rejected so ruthlessly, she definitely couldn't leave. She still had to find a way to persuade him!
She pondered that when the man first met her, his tone wasn't so cold; in fact, it seemed gentle. But his attitude changed abruptly just because she refused to drink with him. Could it be that having a drink with him would solve the problem?
Despite her reluctance, at this moment, this ginseng was so important to Zihan that it might be the only way to wake him up. For Zihan's sake, she had no choice but to compromise.
She kept telling herself that it was just a drink, nothing serious.
"Second Master Tang, if I'm willing to have a drink with you, could you sell me the ginseng?" Luo Xiaoyi stared at Tang Yu's indifferent face, biting her slightly pale lips, her expression one of extreme grievance and reluctance.
Tang Yu looked up from his tablet and gazed at her. A cold smile played on his lips. This woman was acting all wronged just because he asked her to have a drink with him? As if he were about to rape her! What an insult to his charm.
To be said that by a woman is fucking humiliating!
"Luo Xiaoyi, who do you think you are? You're nothing but another man's leftovers. How noble do you think you are? Hmm? I was just thinking about finding a woman to drink with me on a whim, but I've lost interest now. Don't stand there in front of me, just looking at you makes me want to vomit! Get lost!"
Tang Yu spoke sharply, his dark eyes narrowed, gleaming with a fierce light like a wolf's. Damn, if it were any other woman, he would have kicked her out long ago!
Luo Xiaoyi was thoroughly humiliated. She was so angry that her eyes were blazing with fury. How could she possibly make a deal with such a madman? She was being far too unrealistic!
"You're insane!" Luo Xiaoyi cursed angrily, then turned and strode towards the door in her high heels, her chest heaving with rage as she gasped for breath.
A wave of unbearable sorrow washed over her, a rush of sadness to her nose, and tears welled up uncontrollably. She covered her mouth in anguish, crying out, "Zihan, what am I going to do? I'm so useless, I didn't get the ginseng..."
No, I have to get it.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her. Wasn't Han Yue a pretty formidable mercenary? Why not go back and discuss it with her, and secretly sneak into Tang Yu's mansion to steal the ginseng?
Although Luo Xiaoyi has always been a gentleman and has never done anything petty or despicable, this time she was forced into this situation.
Heavens above, I did this to save someone, you won't blame me, right?
With that thought, she immediately felt relieved of the huge weight on her heart. She wiped away her useless tears, and a victorious smile bloomed on her lips.
Just as Luo Xiaoyi grabbed the cold doorknob to open the door, she was caught off guard when she suddenly felt a warmth on her arm. Tang Yu had grabbed her arm.
Immediately afterwards, she was forcefully pulled into the sofa by the door. Before she could recover from her shock, Tang Yu had already bent down, his two palms already on either side of her body, trapping her in the small space beneath him.
Tang Yu looked at her intently.
At close range, the stranger's resolute and dark face, his warm and wild aura, overwhelmed her.
"What are you going to do!" she cried out in terror, shrinking back her small body in fierce resistance. She stared at him intently, her heart filled with dread, fearing his next move.
"Luo Xiaoyi, you gave up on saving the man you love so easily? Is your love for him really that bad? That fool Ou Zihan risked his life to save you, and you're so cold-hearted towards him?"
"You said Ou Zihan was lying there in pain. If he knew how heartless you were to him, how sad would he be? Tsk tsk tsk, people often say that prostitutes are heartless and actors are unrighteous. You are neither a prostitute nor an actor. You seem to have an innocent appearance. How can you be so venomous?"
Tang Yu spoke with a sarcastic tone. He had thought that such a kind-hearted doctor, who saved patients from dire straits, would be willing to go to great lengths for her man. But what happened?
How ridiculous! It turns out that no woman is any good; they only bring ruin to the men around them! It seems that women are only meant to be appendages of men, tools for men to vent their frustrations on, and not worth a man's effort.
