"That incident at the Huo family villa lasted less than an hour. The women capable of getting into my bed have stayed with me for at least a week. Twenty-four hours a day, a week is 168 hours. Five million yuan divided by hours, one hour should be..."
He calculated seriously, "Over twenty-nine thousand yuan. Rounding up, I'll give you thirty thousand. Didn't you want to settle the score? Let's calculate how much you owe me now."
"As the patron, the price for sleeping with me is at least ten times what I pay other women, which is fifty million. You slept with me for a whole night, and we've been together for over a week."
Tang Si’s thin lips curled into a wicked smile. He spread his hands, "If you settle this clearly now, I'll let bygones be bygones. Pay up."
"Fi... fifty million?"
Shi Ran felt like she had been tricked. Could she still regret it now?
"Mmm-hmm, of course."
"I... I already told you, I only have twelve thousand."
"So, how do you plan to repay it?" He tilted his head, a mischievous smile on his face. "You're the one who wants to keep things so clear between us, so I'll naturally oblige."
Shi Ran drooped her small face, pursed her red lips, and helplessly scratched her head. "I really don't have it."
"You don't have it, right? That's easily solved. We can consider repayment in kind."
"You..."
Shi Ran's cheeks flushed, the word 'shameless' barely a whisper.
"I'm shameless? If I were truly shameless, I would have sold you to someone else to earn money to pay off the debt long ago. Would I have waited until now?"
He snorted coldly.
Shi Ran pouted, lowering her head aggrievedly, not daring to speak further.
After a long silence, she murmured, "You already have a fiancée. What you're doing is wrong to her."
"What, didn't you see the situation clearly that day at the Huo family villa?"
That day in the Huo family villa's bathroom, Tang Si and she had been so blatant, with Zhao Wuyan just outside the door.
Zhao Wuyan knew what they were doing but didn't come out to stop them.
Zhao Wuyan's stance was clear. She knew she had wronged Tang Si and therefore didn't interfere with his private life.
"No, you're just being sophistical."
Shi Ran suddenly seemed to realize something, frowning as she glared at him. "Although what I did that night was wrong, I was the one you bullied afterward. We're even!"
Tang Si: "..."
Why was she suddenly so clear-headed?
"Hmph, liar!"
Shi Ran was furious, feeling her trust in Tang Si vanish in an instant.
She pushed him away, got up, and left directly.
Bang—!
The living room door slammed shut with a clang, making the living room windows tremble.
Tang Si's brows furrowed slightly. "Is she really angry?"
He had intended to go pacify Shi Ran, but on second thought, why should he apologize to that brat who only knew how to make him angry?
She was so timid and afraid of the dark; he didn't believe she wouldn't come looking for him tonight!
Late at night, one in the morning.
Tang Si lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Several hours had passed since Shi Ran left, and she still hadn't come to find him.
She was so timid and afraid of the dark, yet because of her apprehension towards him, she would rather endure the torment of night terrors than come to him?
This thought made Tang Si inexplicably annoyed. He sat up abruptly, agitatedly running a hand through his hair, throwing off the thin quilt, and getting out of bed.
He took a cigarette from the pack on the table, lit it, and placed it in his mouth. He paced back and forth in the room.
After finishing the cigarette in his hand, he walked towards the door, intending to go to the adjacent room to check on Shi Ran.
But as he reached the living room doorway, he suddenly stopped. After a moment of thought, he glanced back at the living room window.
Shi Ran's living room was next to his bedroom. It would be better to cross over from here and see if that damned woman was asleep or not.
