Chapter 3 When Will I Charge You Again?
1509 Words
After Qin Mengyan left, Xiao Tongyu sat back in her seat.
This was truly the limit. With both a painful face and a painful stomach, she really felt that life was not worth living.
"Tongtong, do you want to take some painkillers?" Su Rou poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her.
"No need. It will be okay soon. Thank you, Rourou." Xiao Tongyu took the cup and took a big sip.
The more Su Rou thought about it, the more indignant she became. "Tell me, why on earth is this Miss Qin so arrogant?"
"What else could it be? She's a popular actress and also the eldest daughter of the Qin family. Naturally, she's overbearing." Xiao Tongyu took out a wet wipe and cooled down her reddish cheek that had been slapped.
"What popular actress? I think she's already past her prime. Fortunately, Mr. Ji gave her a lesson today. Does she really think she can get close to Mr. Ji?"
"Yeah..." Xiao Tongyu replied absent-mindedly.
She never expected that Ji Yunze, who had always been cold and heartless, would actually help her. Could it be that he felt guilty towards her because of his brutality last night?
Su Rou looked at Xiao Tongyu's slapped and reddened side face and felt a bit sorry for her.
According to Qin Mengyan, Xiao Tongyu was a nobody in high school? Then they should have known each other for a long time.
But the girl in front of her, with her white and pinkish face, big blinking eyes, a straight nose, and a glistening small mouth, looked more like a school beauty. How could she have been a nobody?
However, since Xiao Tongyu didn't say anything, Su Rou naturally didn't ask further.
"Tongtong, do you want to have spicy hot pot for lunch? It's on me!"
"No. The smell of spicy hot pot is too strong. Do you want to be thrown out by Mr. Ji along with the bowl?"
Su Rou pouted and thought Xiao Tongyu's words made a lot of sense.
At this moment, the finance minister who had been in a meeting just now and his assistant Wu Yan walked out of the office together.
"Secretary Xiao, Mr. Ji is looking for you."
"Okay." Xiao Tongyu stood up.
……
Ji Yunze was sitting at his desk reviewing documents. When he saw Xiao Tongyu come in, he raised his head.
"Come here."
Xiao Tongyu walked over slowly and stood respectfully beside Ji Yunze.
"What are your instructions, Mr. Ji?"
There was a fierce glint in Ji Yunze's eyes.
What was wrong with this woman? Clearly, before last night, when they were alone, she wasn't like this. Why was it that she, who had been flirting with him so much before, suddenly seemed like a different person? Was she scared by what happened last night?
He looked up and saw the five red finger marks on Xiao Tongyu's fair little face, and there was still a slight trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, he felt a surge of anger.
"Ask the publicity department to buy a trending topic."
"Okay, Mr. Ji. What trending topic do you want to buy?"
"Qin Mengyan hitting someone."
Xiao Tongyu's eyes widened in surprise. "It's not necessary, Mr. Ji. I'm fine!"
"Did I say it was because of you?"
"Oh..."
Xiao Tongyu thought about it and realized it made sense. Ji Yunze always had his own reasons for doing things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep Ji Group at the top position in the imperial capital at such a young age. How could he possibly buy a trending topic just for her?
"May I ask if you have any other instructions, Mr. Ji?"
He didn't even lift his eyelids. "Did you take the emergency contraceptive pill?"
Xiao Tongyu's heart started pounding wildly.
Ji Yunze... How could he ask such a question in the office without batting an eyelid?
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji. I took it. I won't cause you any trouble."
Ji Yunze looked at her playfully. "You just said I'm the one who picks up trash? Then when should I pick you up again?"
Xiao Tongyu's foot in high heels twisted, and she almost lost her balance and fell.
Was there going to be a second time? Wasn't Ji Yunze the ascetic devil who had no interest in women?
If he was faking it, then with his status, what kind of woman couldn't he get? Why was he holding onto her?
Seeing Xiao Tongyu's changed expression, Ji Yunze curved his lips. "What? Does Secretary Xiao think that one million yuan a night is too little, or are you not satisfied with me?"
Xiao Tongyu was on the verge of a breakdown. She was too satisfied, overly satisfied, so satisfied that now her lower abdomen was aching and her two legs were trembling.
She hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and made up her mind to say, "Mr. Ji, how about I return the one million yuan to you, and we pretend that nothing ever happened?"
A terrifying aura flashed in Ji Yunze's eyes. He pinched Xiao Tongyu's face with one hand. "Do you think you can get on and off my bed as you please?"
The slap she had received earlier was still****, and now her face was being pinched tightly by Ji Yunze. The pain made tears well up in her eyes.
"S... sorry, Mr. Ji."
Seeing Xiao Tongyu looking so pitiful, Ji Yunze felt a tightening in his heart. The next second, he released his hand.
Damn it, what was going on? He actually felt that he was getting a bit infatuated with this woman.
Was it because he had been abstinent for too long and now his emotions were erupting like a volcano?
No, he needed to calm down.
"Get out." Ji Yunze said coldly.
"Yes, Mr. Ji."
……
After leaving the president's office, Xiao Tongyu turned and entered the restroom.
The tears that she had been holding back since the morning streamed down like pearls with broken strings, continuously welling up from her eyes.
She admitted that she regretted it, deeply regretted it.
When she was eleven years old, her parents died unexpectedly in a car accident, and Xiao Tongyu was sent to live with the Lin family.
The Lin family and the Xiao family were long-standing business partners. The Lin family had a son, Lin Xiao, who was two years older than her.
Lin Xiao had always been the exemplary child of others' families. He was smart, did well in school, and was good-looking. So the parents of both families had jokingly arranged a baby betrothal a long time ago. Xiao Tongyu had always thought that she would marry him when she grew up.
Until she entered high school, Lin Xiao started dating the school beauty, Qin Mengyan. And Qin Mengyan also disliked Xiao Tongyu because she always followed Lin Xiao around and kept leading others to bully her.
On Lin Xiao's birthday during his senior year of high school, Xiao Tongyu had prepared a gift in advance, but she saw Lin Xiao kissing Qin Mengyan behind the rockery in the school garden:
"Xiao Tongyu is so rustic and ugly. Who would like her?"
At that moment, she threw down the gift and turned to run away.
Later, after her high school graduation ceremony, she returned home early and accidentally** Lin Xiao and Qin Mengyan having s*x in bed. That day, she moved out of the Lin family.
After that, during her senior year of university, she saw Qin Mengyan, as a newly emerging popular actress, following Ji Yunze to attend the completion ceremony of a large shopping mall.
Although Ji Yunze had a cold face throughout, she knew that Qin Mengyan and Lin Xiao had already broken up.
Qin Mengyan had set her sights on the most unattainable man in the imperial capital, Ji Yunze, the president of the Ji Group and the eldest son of the richest Ji family.
So, out of a little bit of vengefulness, Xiao Tongyu decided to get close to Ji Yunze.
Although she knew clearly that a man whom even Qin Mengyan couldn't catch the eye of, how could he possibly like her? But for some reason, she just wanted to give it a try, even if it was just to make Qin Mengyan annoyed for a few days.
After all, she was so insignificant that no one would take her seriously.
But who would have thought that on the night she succeeded, she regretted it. She was really too scared.
She didn't want to sell her body like this. She wanted to do such a thing with a man who loved her and whom she loved.
She cried and begged for mercy, but no one came to save her.
There is no medicine for regret in this world.
Xiao Tongyu knew that she had boarded the wrong ship and she couldn't get off.
