Chapter 43 (1/2)

After a while, she submerged her body in the warm water and observed the foamy bubbles – lost in thought.

Being sold to Tang Yu had gone completely different than what she had imagined. She thought it would be absolutely humiliating, but… unexpectedly, he wasn’t that difficult to be with (her experience was completely different from other Sheng Yuan female employees because this treatment was dependent on the face and body). He was even caring.

Pei Qiqi used her hand to splash water on her face to wake herself up.

She ended up getting sick and sneezed again and again. Her face was pale white but her nose was red.

By the time she had come out, there were four dishes and one soup on the dining table. They were all hearty dishes.

Tang Yu sat by the table with a magazine in hand. After looking at her for a second, he closed it and said gently, “I remember your last class ended at 3:00 pm. Why did you come back so late?”

“I also remember you saying you would only come Friday or Saturday, so why do I see you here everyday…” This was what Pei Qiqi wanted to say but didn’t dare to say.

She carefully walked over and her eyes were damp. Very carefully, she said, “I started working!”

“Working?” Tang Yu picked up the chopsticks and chatted with her casually.

He no longer acted as distant towards her and Pei Qiqi was not as nervous anymore. She nodded, “Yes.”

Tang Yu’s expression froze for a second, “I will give you $100,000 a month as pocket money.”

His intention was clear. He didn’t want her to work outside like that… Pei Qiqi bit her lips and held onto her chopsticks. She didn’t eat anything more but her voice got lower, “I want to work…”

She didn’t say anything more. He understood…

Tang Yu looked very at ease and very mindfully chatted with his little lover about dreams, “You don’t want to be with me your whole life?”

Pei Qiqi stared at him and didn’t speak.
