Xia Weiliang felt a pang of resentment.
Since she had been reborn, why couldn't it be just one day earlier?
She quickly threw off the quilt, scrambled to pick up her clothes, and fumbled to put them on, preparing to flee. Fortunately, she had woken up early this time, giving her enough time to avoid the paparazzi lurking downstairs.
The sound of water came from the bathroom.
She started, hadn't this man left long ago? In her previous life, she had absolutely no interaction with him!
Or, had her waking time advanced, changing everything?
Before her rebirth, she was the adopted daughter of the Xia family and a popular actress. After news of her secret rendezvous with a strange man in a hotel was exposed, her image plummeted. She was hounded by anti-fans and forced to retire.
Later, the Xia family welcomed back their biological daughter, Xia Yiran. Various rumors mysteriously appeared online about her usurping the biological daughter's identity, and she became known as a black-hearted, green tea bitch, with trending memes mocking her.
Finally, she discovered that the mastermind behind it all was Xia Yiran, including the drunken one-night stand! While on her way to a press conference with the relevant evidence, she got into a car accident…
The melodramatic plot that even soap operas wouldn't dare to film was her previous life.
With no time to ponder further, Xia Weiliang clutched her high heels and bag, tiptoeing towards the door.
The sound of water abruptly stopped.
“Slept with me, now you won’t take responsibility?”
A teasing, mocking voice came from behind her.
Startled, Xia Weiliang spun around and blurted out without thinking, "I, I'll give you money for your trouble! As long as it's within a reasonable range, we can negotiate!"
After speaking, she wanted to slap herself twice.
Listen to that, was that something a person should say?
Money for her trouble?
Wouldn't it sound more sophisticated to call it a "special usage fee for services rendered"?!
“Money for trouble?”
As expected, the magnetic voice from across the room, though tinged with a smile, held a trace of annoyance.
Only then did Xia Weiliang's eyes widen as she finally saw the man opposite her clearly.
The man was only wrapped in a bath towel around his waist, his upper body bare. The cold light from the spotlight overhead cast down, making his skin appear even paler and more alluring. He had defined abs, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a shapely posterior, and long legs.
His head-to-body ratio was perfect, the standard for a male model.
Her gaze moved upwards to a face that was unfairly handsome, with superior brow bones, a straight nose, deep-set eyes, and exquisitely sculpted features. His gaze was slightly cool, with a hint of wanton laziness at the corners of his eyes.
The man was currently staring at her coldly. Despite the smile on his lips, Xia Weiliang felt the urge to brace herself against the wall for support.
Damn it!
She had slept with someone she knew!!
Xiao Yi, the youngest Three-Gold Award-winning Best Actor in history, you know.
Xia Weiliang felt a wave of dizziness, her legs trembling. What kind of sin or karma had led her to sleep with a Best Actor? And the most formidable, most mysterious, and most popular one among fans…
The most self-destructive thing was that she had actually asked the Best Actor for money for her trouble?
Xiao Yi raised his pair of dark eyes, his gaze casual and languid. His black, slightly messy hair fell across his forehead. "Tell me, how should we settle this?" Soodan Novel Network.
Xia Weiliang leaned against the wall, "Teacher Xiao, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I was drunk last night and didn't see it was you, so I took advantage of you. I know Teacher Xiao is the victim, it's all my fault for acting out of line due to alcohol. Therefore, I am willing to compensate Teacher Xiao to the best of my ability. Whatever Teacher Xiao requests, I will agree to!"
Just don't expose me!!
She spoke with righteous indignation, her small, palm-sized face a mask of feigned grief and regret.
Listen to that professional, seasoned player's tone, tsk, a manipulative woman!
If it weren't for the innocent evidence left on the sheets and various other subtle details, he might have suspected she was a seasoned con artist.
