Ye Chengwei stopped and saw panic in An Ran's eyes as he wished. It wouldn't be easy to count the compound interest.
"You want to count compound interest!"
Ye Chengwei smiled. "Why shouldn't I? I'm a businessman. Why shouldn't I earn a profit? I can't say the number now, but I'll give Miss An a satisfying number another day. How about it?"
An Ran looked at Ye Chengwei coldly. What a wolf hiding under a sheep's cover! No. He was never a sheep.
"En." She agreed unhappily. She would rather stay her whole life in Royal than giving in to him.
"Little An Ran, you are afraid." Ye Chengwei said slowly.
Little An Ran!
An Ran was in a trance. If she were right, this was the first time Ye Chengwei called her a nickname. He had bad intentions though.
But soon, her little joy was erased by the enormous number.
"Did I scare you?" Ye Chengwei raised her jaw and smiled, which looked like the last friendly moment before turning into a brutal scene.
An Ran said nothing. It was she who said to count the interest. Only she was too little to know how high the interest of a usury could be. Otherwise she wouldn't be so stupid to ask for interest voluntarily.
Now that she was in his trap.
"No." An Ran didn't want to cave in. It was the last of her dignity.
Ye Chengwei smiled and lowered his head. His lips swept An Ran's cold lips and he said slowly, "An Ran, this is how you only want money other than love. Once men became ruthless, women would suffer. What you owed me you can never pay back."
"I will return every penny of yours." An Ran moved her lips away, not wanting to be with him.
"You must be thinking better working your whole life in Royal to pay off your debt." Ye Chengwei said slowly.
An Ran didn't say a word. He was right.
"An Ran, you are really naive. Does Zhao have the balls to support you, a woman labelled by Ye Chengwei?" Ye Chengwei said coldly. "If I want Royal to close up, I just have to make a call."
An Ran took a deep breath. She knew Family Ye was rich and powerful.
"Why do you have to cross me?" An Ran calmed down. It's the worst that could happen and she was willing to struggle her life for it. "Do you have to block all my ways?"
She looked at him coldly.
However, Ye Chengwei smiled warmly. He held An Ran's waist and dragged her close to his body. His voice was soft like a dream.
"An Ran, if I don't cross you, how can you return to my side?"
An Ran's heart started racing. She saw seriousness in Ye Chengwei's eyes which looked deep.
"It has been a long time ago." An Ran's voice softened.
He held her and said gently, "Who gives you the right to end it? You wrote me a deal of being my lifelong mistress. Don't you want to live it?
An Ran, if you don't want me to look down on you, live your own promise."
He was pricking her! But he was right. She didn't want him to look down on her. She fought him with her last of pride and she could not lose.
"What do you want to let me go?" An Ran sounded upset.
Ye Chengwei put on a cold look. Suddenly he pulled her hair to make her raise her head. "I will never let the woman who dared to say goodbye to Ye Chengwei go. You are back not because I'm interested, but I'd like to crack your pride and stubbornness bit by bit, An Ran."
