Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Talk to Him

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Qian and this stubborn guy faced off for quite some time.

Yu Minglang, this stubborn guy, adamantly refused to let her go out, he simply stood in front of the door, unaffected by her punches and curses.

Exhausted from fighting, Xiao Qian looked around and realized for the first time that the house was quite large.

With a staircase and barely any decoration except for flooring and painting, it was so empty that echoes resounded. It barely had any furniture either.

Still, it couldn’t hide his extravagant nature.

Xiao Qian hummed, speaking with annoyance.

“You just returned from a job transfer, right? I bet your salary isn’t enough to get by, are you taking bribes? This two-story building mustn’t be cheap, huh?”

“It’s a duplex with a small garden on the rooftop… It’s completely empty now with a total area of 210 square meters, owned solely by myself.”

Why are you saying this with such a serious tone! Xiao Qian suddenly remembered.

It seemed that in their previous life, when he said he wanted to get married, he would earnestly report his personal financial situation, it seemed he mentioned back then having a house like this.

“It’s quite big.”

“Yes, it can’t be small.”

Both of them fell silent after that. One was staring at the ceiling while the other was blushing and staring at the ground.

Damn you, Yu Minglang! Xiao Qian was cursing inwardly; a double entendre?

You, a two-lives virgin, dared to challenge me this way!

So, a second later, Xiao Qian quickly retrieved her female boss aura, lifting her head to look at that guy whose ears reddened from his slip of the tongue.

“Indeed, it’s no good if it’s small in all respects.”

Satisfied when seeing his ears turned even redder, she thought, you, a virgin, dare to flirt with me, let’s see how far you can go! Right now, Xiao Qian was feeling smug.

Yu Minglang’s ears were burning, he thought he must have misheard. How could Zhou Zhiruo, who is of the same kind, utter such strong hints? He can’t be misunderstanding her.

Don’t twist the words of a young girl.

“Regardless of how big you are, you still have to let me go!” Xiao Qian finally stopped teasing him and planned to bypass him and leave. But he pushed her back, pressing her onto the sofa.

“Bast.rd!” What a lousy sofa, it’s even made of wood! Xiao Qian protested.

“Does it feel too hard? It’s always like this at first, it will get comfortable once you get used to it.” Yu Minglang quite liked this set of mahogany sofa. Seeing her uncomfortable sitting, he blurted out without thinking.

Then, he realized what he had said, probably Xiao Qian also understood. They both fell into an awkward silence.

Xiao Qian’s heart raced, a myriad of thoughts rushed through her.

Was she, once again, teased by Yu, the dullard?

This is…shameless…

No, they couldn’t continue with this dangerous topic. Xiao Qian astutely noticed that the pattern of her interaction with Yu Minglang was beginning to veer in a strange direction.

“I don’t know you, I’m not familiar with you, are you sure you want to interfere with my business?”

Yu Minglang took a step back to maintain a safe distance from the girl. Although he really wanted to sit next to her on the sofa, that wouldn’t be quite proper.

“My name is Yu Minglang, I’m 24 years old, currently working in my own company. I’ve told you about my basic conditions, now we are familiar with each other.”

Xiao Qian’s mouth gaped, stunned by his outgoing nature.

Oh no, why does her brain die out every time she encounters these fools?

“This house is my personal asset. Besides salary and shares dividends, I also invest in bonds. The money 1 have earned from my school times till

now. So, your accusation of my being corrupt earlier, doesn’t stand.”

Huh, with such a serious face, flaunting silver? Xiao Qian scorned inwardly. But for her rebirth at a wrong timing, it seems like nobody could earn that amount of money.

“Indeed, you’re so good at managing money, you’re so great — so great that you can shut the door and don’t care about the world…why are you messing with me?”

“I’m not forcing you, I’m trying to persuade you. 1 have been investing and managing money since 1996, and currently, I have a total fixed asset-” “Stop!” Xiao Qian gave in to him.

Whoever wants to deal with you, why do you have to report your personal assets so bluntly as soon as we start discussing!

The more she thought about it, men showing off their family assets to women, the more it seemed like…!

In Xiao Qian’s mind, Zhao Zhongxiang’s warm and magnetic voice echoes.

It’s Spring, breeding season again. The male wolf is running around, displaying its gleaming fur and its skill in hunting in order to win the female’s heart What the hell am I thinking!

“Now, we’re not strangers anymore.” said Yu Minglang seriously, looking at Xiao Qian.

Having just returned from his old unit, his integrity and upfront attitude remained, not liking any deceit or concealment-especially when the girl seemed to doubt whether his money was received through legit ways, he felt the need to explain.

“I hope you can give up on using the wrong means to retaliate against others.” Just say it, why is your voice so magnetic? I don’t want to breed little Xiaowei with you, no, little wolves! Xiao Qian’s keen thinking was disturbed by his seriousness.

She needs to keep her distance from this man. This guy has a built-in idiotic radiation on him. Just by being near him, her brain circuits got fried, leading her to think about all sorts of weird ideas.

“Yu Minglang.”

Hearing his name from her mouth it sounded particularly pleasant. Yu Ming Lang’s heart fluttered slightly, he then composed his thoughts and said sternly. “Yes, what is it?”

“If I hadn’t found out about their deception, can you guess what my future would have been like?”

This heavy question left Yu Minglang speechless.

Xiao Qian could avoid him, her eyes aimlessly focusing on some empty spot in the spacious room, her calm expression masking the chaotic storm within.

“I would be married to a homosexual. A man who would refuse to fulfil his duties as a husband, whose physical defects would lead to a twisted personality. He would hit me, he would abuse me in all sorts of ways, destroying all my beautiful dreams of life. I would want to divorce, but he would use all kinds of means in his power to obstruct me. It would be like a living hell, once 1 get in, 1 would never be able to get out.”

Just like their past life.

“I would be beaten every day, forcefully living under the same roof with such a sissy. My parents would refuse to shelter me, leaving him free to torment me without any constraints. His family would cover up for him, the homosexuality in their eyes was a family disgrace that could not be revealed. But why does this disgrace need to be covered by me?”

“Your family…don’t they care about you?” With every word she says, it’s like a dagger through his heart.

His fists were tightly clenched, wishing that he had hit those two bastards harder today.

“They? Heh, as long as there is a son, who cares about a daughter who is nothing more than water thrown out? They need a son who can keep the family name alive. I, as a daughter, only existed to fetch a hefty dowry for my younger brother’s wedding.”

She wasn’t wronging her family, they were indeed thinking and acting this way.

“Am I not a human? Don’t I work hard? Haven’t I sacrificed enough? But who cares about me? If from birth boys and girls are given different roles by their parents, then why didn’t they just strangle me to death when 1 was born?”

She had kept these words in her heart for a long time, never sharing them with anyone in their past life.

Who would she tell? It would be nothing but a laughingstock. Everyone was so busy, who had the time to care about the lives of others? Moreover, she didn’t want to expose her weaknesses to people.

But if it was Yu Minglang, she was willing to say it..
