The next night, the night sky was as dark as ink. A few stars twinkled in the night sky, adding to the silence. Lin Chaoyu, who was blindfolded, was brought to the living room of the Tang Family villa.
"President Tang, this is the woman who applied for a surrogate pregnancy," a group of people reported respectfully.
The man sitting on the chair in the distance was dressed in a black suit. He held a cigarette between his slender fingers and glanced at Lin Chaoyu with an oppressive gaze. Then, he said to the others in a low voice, "You're excused."
"Understood." The bodyguards in black responded and retreated.
Lin Chaoyu heard the sound of the bodyguards walking further and further away. Her heart was pounding. This should be the villa of the buyer. She was here for the surrogate mother interview. Her mother was seriously ill and needed a large sum of money. As a student, she didn't know how to get so much money in such a short period of time. She could only choose a path that normal people wouldn't choose.
In the next second, Lin Chaoyu's blindfold was taken away. The long-awaited light made Lin Chaoyu close her eyes subconsciously. A moment later, she slowly opened a pair of lively eyes. When she saw the man in front of her clearly, she was stunned. "You! You're the man from last night!"
After Tang Pengze removed Lin Chaoyu's blindfold, he sat on the leather sofa with his long legs crossed as he examined Lin Chaoyu from top to bottom. After seeing her shocked face with satisfaction, the man stood up and walked towards Lin Chaoyu. When he forced Lin Chaoyu into a corner, a large hand forcefully pinched Lin Chaoyu's face and slowly said, "Let me introduce myself first—I'm not a gigolo!"
Lin Chaoyu was speechless.
"My name is Tang Pengze. I want you to be the surrogate." Tang Pengze seemed to be giving an order. He wanted Lin Chaoyu to remember his identity forever.
"Why, why is it you…" Lin Chaoyu stared blankly at the man in front of her. His face looked even more handsome than when he was asleep, but his arrogance was annoying! Lin Chaoyu thought to herself, could this be the jealousy of the poor towards the rich?
Tang Pengze frowned. He did not like the feeling of being scrutinized.
"Ah!" Before Lin Chaoyu could react, Tang Pengze pulled her onto the sofa. Then, the man pressed down on her. "Did you hear what I said?" Tang Pengze's gaze was dark, as if he was going to tear Lin Chaoyu apart in the next second.
"Okay, okay, okay. I know. I know. Calm down." Lin Chaoyu immediately compromised. She didn't want Tang Pengze to let her feel the pain all over her body again. "What happened last night was just a misunderstanding. I didn't know you were m…"
The word 'master' was stuck in Lin Chaoyu's throat. She couldn't say it no matter what.
"Shut up." Tang Pengze frowned. He didn't expect this woman to talk so much. She talked so much that his ears hurt. She was cuter when she was drunk last night. Thinking of this, he picked up the whiskey on the table and kissed Lin Chaoyu while sipping his wine.
The alcohol flowed from the tip of his tongue into Lin Chaoyu's lips. "Mmm… mmm…" Lin Chaoyu struggled with all her might but was held down by Tang Pengze's hands. There was no space for her to move at all. She only regained her freedom when she had no choice but to finish the whiskey.
Lin Chaoyu's face was filled with indignation as she asked angrily, "Mr. Tang, I did take your money, but I'm only a surrogate. Don't you understand that? I'm not selling myself!"
Tang Pengze smirked devilishly and said, "I'm sorry, the contract clearly states that I want artificial surrogacy!"
Wait… Artificial surrogacy, not test tube surrogacy?! Wouldn't that mean… she had to continue sleeping with him?!
Seeing the change in Lin Chaoyu's expression, Tang Pengze knew that she had already understood what he meant. A pair of well-defined hands pinched Lin Chaoyu's face. "What? You just realized?"
"I, I… I don't agree!" Lin Chaoyu shouted.
"You don't agree? But last night, I remember that you were very proactive." Tang Pengze purposely mentioned last night. As expected, he saw Lin Chaoyu blushing.
"No, I want to break my promise! I quit!" Lin Chaoyu broke free from his restraints and prepared to slip away.
The man did not seem to have any intention of stopping her. He merely said indifferently from behind her, "Five million dollars. After tonight, the money will be transferred immediately."
When Lin Chaoyu heard this temptation, she subconsciously stopped in her tracks. Five million… That was four million more than the contract. If she could get it in the morning, she could immediately arrange her mother's surgery. "You're not lying to me?" Lin Chaoyu turned around and looked at Tang Pengze, who was sitting on the sofa. At this moment, she thought that since she had already had a fling with him before, she wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Tang Pengze nodded to indicate that he would keep his promise. Then, he raised his eyebrows and beckoned Lin Chaoyu to come over.
