[004] Handsome, wait a moment, don't be in a hurry.

Mu Lingqian's touch had been so ruthless earlier; her back and waist still ached. Honestly, she was somewhat afraid of him.

"Here's the thing, if you agree, just let me know; if not, I'll find someone else, preferably someone gentler."

Wen Xiangyang massaged her dainty waist as she proposed, merely intending to get back at her scumbag father and rob him of his bargaining chip. She didn't want to sacrifice her first time and suffer unbearable pain.

"Go and take a bath."

"Huh?" Wen Xiangyang thought she had misheard, blinking her eyes as she looked at the man in front of her, "Are you talking to me? Have you agreed?"

"If you want to sleep with me, fine. But clean yourself up first!" There was a hint of disgust in Mu Lingqian's eyes as he looked at Wen Xiangyang's face.

The women who caked themselves in makeup disgusted him the most. If Wen Xiangyang didn't have any hint of perfume on her, and if he hadn't known her before, he would have kicked her out the moment she came close to him.

"So, I'll wash up, and you're sure you'll be gentler, right?"

"If not, then get lost."

What a rough tone...

But at least he agreed.

"Thank you, thank you so much, handsome. You're such a good guy!"

Wen Xiangyang took off her red wig and, disregarding Mu Lingqian's sullen mood, put it on his head stand on tiptoe.

"Handsome, you look pretty good with this on too," she stated, laughing before kicking off her heels and rushing into the bathroom.

Mu Lingqian's expression darkened again as he removed the red wig from his head. He watched the girl singing off-key in the bathroom, his thin lips tightly drawn into a line.

Wen Xiangyang stood under the shower in the bathroom, initially very satisfied. However, as soon as she was clean, her alcohol wore off and her mind cleared.

She put on a bathrobe and hid in the bathroom, peeking at the man sitting on the couch outside. Her heart unexpectedly started pounding, and she hesitated in the bathroom, not daring to step out.

Mu Lingqian sat on the couch, flipping through a magazine while keeping an eye on Wen Xiangyang. Seeing her walking around in her bathrobe, a touch of amusement played on his lips.

She seemed brave and fearless on the outside, but she was still a little girl at heart.

As if suddenly remembering something, he rose from the couch and, with long strides, walked towards the bathroom and knocked on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, Wen Xiangyang's heart jumped. She was the one paying for a man, why was she nervous? Why?

"Handsome, wait, there's no rush; I'll be out soon!" she replied loudly. Yet, instead of opening the door, she tightened her robe and crouched to the floor, collapsing tearfully.

She had planned to lose her virginity, take photographs with another man, and send them to her awful father, as well as the decrepit old man he wanted her to marry, to infuriate them.

Now she had found a man with desirable traits who had promised to be gentle to her, so why was she still scared?

Seeing Wen Xiangyang still crouched on the floor, Mu Lingqian seemed to understand her concerns. He used his key card to unlock the bathroom door with a click, and stood in the doorway.
