"Hello."
"Do me a favor please." With his voice low and somber, he continued, "There's a masquerade ball tonight. Will you be my partner?"
"This kind of ball is for blind dating, why would I, a married woman, go there?"
"I already said I needed your help. Anyway, with a mask on, no one will recognize you. It'll just be for a while," Gu Beicheng urged her in a desperate tone.
"Don't tell me that other than me, you can't find any other woman? I don't underestimate your charisma at all." It was evident that An Xiaoning was unwilling to go.
"Five hundred thousand," Gu Beicheng offered this price. "Just half an hour and we'll go back. Five hundred thousand for 30 minutes, how's that?"
"It's a deal then." No one would ever complain of having too much money.
