Yu He: [Did your WeChat get a virus?]
The transfers kept coming, with increasingly larger amounts, completely drowning out Yu He's message.
She immediately called him, "What are you doing!"
"Are you short on money?" Qin Beiting asked without answering, his tone flat.
"Reasonably," Yu He didn't catch his underlying meaning.
She had been short on money before, but after receiving thirty million yuan from the Lu family and over five million yuan as Lunar New Year's money from Qin Beiting, her pockets were now quite full.
"Then why are you still taking money from other men?" the man's magnetic voice laced with intense sourness.
Yu He glanced at the stack of cash on the table and finally understood: "..."
This man was jealous!
"Heh, so you're waiting for him to earn money to support you? Are you with me just because you're attracted to my looks, my body?"
Listening to his sarcastic words, Yu He suddenly wondered if this man had been an actor in his past life.
However, his looks and physique... for someone like her who appreciated beauty, she was indeed tempted...
She played along with his words and asked, "How do you want me to explain?"
"Say why you didn't accept the card I gave you? Why do you need to spend other men's money."
Yu He: "........."
She hadn't expected this man to hold such a grudge. She had indeed refused the unlimited dragon-patterned gold card he’d given her before.
Using his card would essentially mean him knowing where her money was going.
"Do you know what you're like right now?" she suddenly asked.
"Hm?"
"Like a little bitch making unreasonable demands out of jealousy."
Qin Beiting: "..."
Qin·Unreasonably Demanding·Be·Little Bitch·Ting: "Then how will you appease me?"
Yu He exited the call screen, opened WeChat, and sent him a string of numbers and a location, "Sent you the address and the gate code."
Qin Beiting, on the other end of the line, immediately lost all his jealousy and chuckled, "You just want my body."
--
The next day.
Qin Beiting emerged from Yu He's room and happened to run into Grandma Yu and Qiao Qiao, who were returning from grocery shopping.
Grandma Yu was taken aback and couldn't help but size up the man.
He wore a slim-fitting white shirt and black trousers, his shirt collar open, and he wore slippers. He exuded a noble yet casual air; it was clear he hadn't just arrived.
She recalled Yu He mentioning her relationship with Qin Beiting before, and her body stiffened.
The sudden appearance of a stranger in the house also startled Qiao Qiao, "Who... who are you? Why are you here?"
She had initially wanted to say "thief," but this person was so stunningly handsome and carried an extraordinary aura that he didn't look like a thief at all.
Qin Beiting cast a faint glance at Qiao Qiao, who shivered from his icy gaze and immediately lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him directly.
It was a primal instinct of fear towards a stronger being.
Qin Beiting's gaze finally settled on Grandma Yu. He nodded to her as a greeting, then, as if in his own home, walked directly into the kitchen and began rummaging through the refrigerator.
"Grandma Yu, he..."
Qiao Qiao's voice jolted Grandma Yu back to reality.
"Go back to your room," she said, putting down her things and walking directly towards the master bedroom.
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but secretly glance at Qin Beiting in the kitchen again. This man was truly too handsome, far more so than any celebrity on television, but he emanated a dangerous aura that made people hesitant to approach.
She wondered what his relationship with Yu He was.
Not daring to linger in the living room, she obediently returned to her room.
In the master bedroom.
Yu He emerged after a shower and heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was Qin Beiting, she casually called out, "Come in."
To her surprise, it was her grandmother.
"Nannan, why is he here?!" Grandma Yu asked.
Her gaze inadvertently fell on the several deep red hickeys on Yu He's delicate collarbone, and her pupils trembled slightly.
Mars had truly collided with Earth!
Yu He went to help her sit on a chair, "Do you believe me now? He seduced me first."
"You and him... you were clearly... how could you..."
Grandma Yu looked at Yu He incredulously, her words faltering due to shock.
Finally, remembering something, she asked seriously, "You're not selling yourself on purpose to avenge Yun'er, are you?!"
She had seen many escort girls before who would sell their bodies for certain benefits.
Yu He: "..."
She asked with a wry smile, "Grandma, do you see me as that kind of person?"
"Not at all!" Grandma Yu immediately denied.
Ever since she had found Yu He back from the human traffickers that year, Yu He had fallen seriously ill. After recovering, her personality had changed.
From a lively, cute, and smiling little girl, she became taciturn, stopped smiling, and no longer trusted people easily.
At the time, she thought it was just the discomfort from the arduous escape. Later, she realized that her daughter's death had been too much of a blow to the child.
Then, this child seemed to grow up overnight, starting to study diligently in all areas—traditional Chinese medicine, computers, foreign languages, and more. She was exceptionally intelligent and learned quickly.
Smart, sensible, and self-disciplined. Apart from a stubborn temper sometimes, there was nothing bad about her.
It was she herself who was getting old and muddled. Her granddaughter was as sharp as a tack; how could she be compared to those escort women.
"I was just afraid that you would act impulsively in your haste and make the wrong decision," Grandma Yu explained.
"A man like Qin Beiting, once you get involved, it's impossible to extricate yourself easily. And the Qin family behind him... you need to think clearly."
"I know, I'm serious about him," Yu He said.
At least, she was serious about him now.
Grandma Yu truly wished Yu He would have no further entanglement with the Qin family, but she also knew she couldn't persuade Yu He, so she stopped trying.
As long as she wasn't selling herself for revenge and getting involved with Qin Beiting, it was fine. Although Qin Beiting had a bad reputation in the past, looking on the bright side, if he truly liked Yu He, he could protect her.
She just feared that Qin Beiting might be with Yu He for his own gain...
"Knock knock." At this moment, the door was knocked twice, and then the door was pushed open from the outside.
"Baby, breakfast is ready, come and eat," Qin Beiting said.
Hearing this, Grandma Yu was surprised. Men from the Qin family had always stayed away from the kitchen. This child was actually making breakfast for Yu He!
She got up, wanting to see for herself.
Yu He changed her clothes and went out, only to find two bowls of noodles on the dining table. One was in front of Qin Beiting, and the other was set aside, clearly waiting for her.
Grandma Yu likely realized that breakfast wasn't for her and awkwardly retreated to her room.
"Why did you only make two bowls? Grandma and Qiao Qiao haven't eaten yet, have they?" Yu He said.
Qin Beiting: "Men of the Qin family only cook for one person."
Yu He: "..."
As she was about to go to the kitchen to make noodles for Grandma and the others, the doorbell rang. She opened the door to find a chef and a maid.
