Gu Xiaoer scoffed, her small hand casually pushed away the handsome face beside her ear, acting as if she had already seen right through him, "Your industry really knows how to do business, clearly just wanting to swindle customers."
Before renting a boyfriend, she had done her research online. Some of the less reputable rental companies charged extra for additional services. Holding hands would cost fifty, a kiss a hundred, and spending the night had a price that depended on... looks.
A low, shallow laugh spilled from the man's mouth, growing louder and louder until it became a wanton, hearty laugh.
This little creature was becoming more and more interesting!
Gu Xiaoer blinked, once again captivated by Han Luoli, this man had such a beautiful smile, as if he had stepped right out of a painting.
"You rented me..." he said calmly, moving a bit closer.
Gu Xiaoer quickly and shakily got down from the sofa, waving her hand nonchalantly, "That's right, I rented you. Now I'm telling you to leave, I want to sleep." As if Han Luoli's task for the day was to send her to her room to sleep.
In the dim light, the man seemed to raise an eyebrow, his gaze deep and intense. With a long arm, he effortlessly pulled Gu Xiaoer back, causing her to collapse onto the sofa in an ungainly heap.
"Han Luoli, my name," he said, seemingly dissatisfied with Gu Xiaoer's way of addressing him.
Her dazed, large eyes blinked, as if she heard and yet did not hear. Suddenly, she became secretive, her small face covered with a light flush, "Hey, how's the pay in your line of work?"
The atmosphere turned somewhat eerie, Han Luoli's enclosing arms also loosened.
Sensing the malevolence in the man's eyes, Gu Xiaoer hastily crawled to a corner of the sofa, gathering her knees, and said with her tongue sticking out, "Don't be angry, eh! I was just curious, it's okay if you don't answer..."
"It's quite good!" he said through clenched teeth, as if possessed!
Especially the way the girl emphasized "in your line of work," it was hard not to let one's thoughts wander.
Gu Xiaoer understood and tsked in response.
But the sound of calm footsteps reached her ears.
The man stood in front of her, casually resting his hand on the sofa, once again trapping her inside.
He leaned in assertively, making Gu Xiaoer extremely uncomfortable, especially those leopard-like sharp eyes that seemed to see right through her.
"What, what are you coming so close for, I'm very poor!"
In a panic, she tried to escape the man's gaze, but couldn't escape the prison he'd circled around her.
"No matter, you can afford the expense," he answered earnestly, but his words left Gu Xiaoer seeing stars, breathless.
When she closed her eyes and opened them again, all she saw was a handsome face getting closer and closer.
Her head grew heavier, her vision increasingly blurred, until at last she couldn't even make out what the man was saying.
Was she drunk?
