Chapter 63: There Is a Way to Avoid Compensation

If she wanted to stay alive and not be thrown into prison, she would have to create a persona who was ‘deeply in love with him’.

Lin Yan continued to stay calm as she said, “I’m telling the truth… I looked for Pei Yutang because… I wanted to find out more about you from him… I didn’t mean to offend…”

As Lin Yan spoke, her eyes landed on the man’s naked chest. She couldn’t stop herself from stammering. “Off… offend… you…”

Pei Yucheng wrapped the bathrobe around him considerately and said patiently, “Continue.”

Lin Yan finally managed to compose herself as she said, “President Pei, I’m extremely sorry for any psychological harm I have caused you. But… I… I’m really poor… I don’t have any money…”

Pei Yucheng replied, “So?”

Lin Yan suggested, “How about… I kneel down and kowtow to seek your forgiveness?”

Pei Yucheng chuckled softly. “I don’t need such compensation.”

Lin Yan looked sullen. “Alright then. I knew that it wouldn’t be of any use even if I hit my head against the ground until I bled. However, I don’t know how else to seek your forgiveness and compensate you for your losses…”

Pei Yucheng’s eyes gleamed as he watched her quietly. His eyes were like a deep ocean, unfathomable and mysterious. “There is another way to avoid compensation.”

Lin Yan’s eyes sparkled immediately as she probed cautiously. “Another way? What is it?”

Pei Yucheng was an unfathomable, mysterious man. Hence, every time she spoke to him, she was on tenterhooks.

Lin Yan hastily nodded. “Of course! Please ask away!”

Pei Yucheng asked, “Miss Lin… do you like me?”
