"We can talk about this another day, I've got something urgent to deal with right now. Make sure you cover up with the blanket and sleep tight tonight, okay?"
After finishing, Han Luoli left, not forgetting to take the one hundred thousand yuan with her before heading out.
Huh? What's going on?
Gu Xiaoer blinked, a moment ago there was no urgency, so how come it's suddenly all change and hurry-scurry? Could it be about depositing money... but her thoughts trailed off.
But she hadn't finished speaking, hey! With one hundred thousand yuan, she could open a small store and start a little business; she shouldn't always rely on her youth to get by!
However, Han Luoli didn't hear any of this.
Rushing downstairs in a flurry, she threw a cloth bag into the garbage-picking grandma's basket without a second of hesitation.
This money was just too conspicuous!
The car that had been parked downstairs for quite a while finally started and slowly drove away as the phone rang.
Yanhuang, among Han Luoli's numerous properties, was the most inconspicuous but also one of the top gold sinks in Mofeng City. Those who could afford to spend there were either rich or noble — extremely so.
Because it was quiet, it became a preferred spot for a few brothers to get together in their spare time.
As soon as Han Luoli stepped into the VIP room, Shen Minghan began to circle her, sizing her up from head to toe.
"Tsk, tsk, reeking of pheromones. Come on, tell the brothers what happened last night?" Shen Minghan asked with concern, but his eyes twinkled with sheer gossip lust, and his polite smile had a hint of the unruly and rogue charm typically found in the scions of wealthy families.
"Taking advantage of someone at a vulnerable time is nothing to brag about," Bai Xiaoyu chimed in, his venomous words betraying the smile curling on his lips, his gaze expectant as he looked at Han Luoli.
The man of the moment arrogantly tilted his chin up without saying a word, refusing to give them the satisfaction of gossip.
Once the three had seated themselves, a waitress pushed in the door to serve them.
As she kneeled on the ground and carefully poured the fine tea, the corner of her eye caught the most distinguished man in the room reaching for a cigarette.
The exquisite gold cufflink with inlaid diamonds shimmered, sending ripples through her heart and leaving her tense.
She quickly assisted Han Luoli with the cigarette case, trembling as she fetched a cigarette and brought it to his thin lips.
The man paused, then turned his head, taking the cigarette with his elegant long fingers.
Such an apparent sign of refusal to be approached turned the pretty waitress's face crimson with embarrassment.
Helping with the cigarettes wasn't new for this man, and it was something she enjoyed doing the most.
Yet, aside from her own feelings, such gestures held no meaning to anyone else.
With her hands anxiously fidgeting, she received a look from Shen Minghan, bit her lip, and bowed out of the room with grace.
"Ah, having a woman around really makes a difference, huh!" Shen Minghan teased, deliberately speaking to Bai Xiaoyu.
Bai Xiaoyu, who had not missed the previous interaction, said, "Not like during your hospital check-up time."
Han Luoli knew exactly what his brothers' teasing meant. He lit his cigarette and leisurely took a puff. After blowing out a ring of smoke, he slowly spoke, "I have a girlfriend, do you guys? If you don't, then don't talk... "
His expression was full of boast.
Shen Minghan's eyebrows shot up; ah, showing off, is he?
"Alright, alright, I get it, you're impressive. Come and get checked at my hospital when you have time; after all, last night was an extraordinary situation."
Han Luoli licked his lips, his usually stern face softening a touch, tinted with an uncharacteristic shade of pink, "I think I should be fine. She was already better by the time it happened last night..."
"!" Both men were astounded.
Han Luoli continued, looking quite troubled, "But actually, I do have something I need your guys' help with."
