"Back to my room." Ling Chaofeng's gaze was cold.

"I want to pay you back." Xiaowan carefully held that piece of silver.

Ling Chaofeng only frowned slightly, but the little person in front of him was already trembling. He said: "If you want to return the real money to me, you have to pay me two taels or two taels of silver in three thousand gold at once.

With that, the man walked away.

Xiaowan understood now, the broken silver in her hands was not even worth two sticks of money, but today, throughout the entire day, there were no customers in the shop at all, and it was rare to see someone willing to reward her, so when would she be able to save up two sticks of money? Or …

"Manager Ling …" Xiaowan followed and asked softly, "How much is my salary?"

"2 taels of silver a month." Ling Chaofeng stopped, "Deduct the food and lodging, leave behind 1 silver. If you have enough for 1 year and 8 months, you will pay it off."

One year... Eight months?

Xiaowan was dumbstruck. If this wasn't a criminal shop, then what?

Ling Chaofeng left. There were only two rooms on the third floor, one was their "wedding room", the other was Ling Chaofeng's room.

Just as he reached the door, the people behind him caught up to him and said, "If Mrs. Sun can give me two taels of silver, I will give you everything at once. Am I free now?"

Ling Chaofeng turned around indifferently: "It's just repayment, what are you thinking?"

What? Xiaowan was confused.

Ling Chaofeng seemed to be angry: "There's an important guest at the store, go back to your room immediately, don't disturb our guest's rest."

Xiaowan's eyes reddened as she gathered up her courage and said: "But how do I know if you will go find my father? I don't know you and I didn't provoke you so why are you forcing me to marry you? What right do you have to trap me here? "

The petite girl was so angry that she was panting heavily. She tried her best to glare at him, but she didn't seem to know how beautiful and cute she looked. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't muster up any momentum.

Ling Chaofeng bent his body slightly, and came closer to Xiaowan, so close, that he could feel each other's Qi. Xiaowan took two steps back in panic, but was caught by one of the man's hands.

"The door is open. You can leave anytime you want."

"You're lying. You said that you would break my legs." Xiaowan was struggling, she did not like being held by Ling Chaofeng by the waist.

"If I don't find you, you'll be free." Ling Chaofeng smiled slightly, "If I catch you, I'll break your legs. You can bet."

Xiaowan's entire body tensed up as her cheeks swelled. His eyes became more and more moist, as if they were filled with tears.

She was so wronged that she choked and stubbornly refused to cry.

Ling Chaofeng loosened his hand, and berated: "Go back to sleep."

Xiaowan glanced at him, her entire body was filled with unwillingness, but she had no ability, and could only be bullied for nothing. She slowly walked towards the "Marriage Room". When she saw the red and happy word on the door, she glanced back and saw Ling Chaofeng still staring at him, seemingly provoking him. She tore off the "Happy" character and walked in majestically.

Ling Chaofeng shook his head slightly and closed the door as well. However, very quickly, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.

He walked to the door and looked through the crack of the door. Mrs. Sun quietly went up the stairs and looked in two directions.

Xiaowan was completely unaware of this, and she did not do anything abnormal either. She only looked at Big Red's "Joy" character, then quietly put it down and went down the stairs.

Ling Chaofeng's vision was limited as he stood inside the door, and was unable to see the scenery on the second floor, but he could imagine the expression on Mrs. Sun's face as he passed by the "cloud cover".

Her gaze turned towards the door of the Xiaowan, not knowing what the young lady was thinking at the moment. No, she should be thinking about it, wanting to end the engagement.

In truth, when Xiaowan closed the door, he was stunned by the room's bright red wedding arrangements.
