Chapter 2
Ning Sheng slowly got up from the ground. She had been too scared just now and seemed to have sprained her ankle when she fell. At this moment, her left foot was in excruciating pain.
“As long as it is open for negotiation, it’s not a problem.” Ning Sheng endured the pain and looked at him.
It was Lu Chu Yao’s first time meeting such a woman.
One side of her cheeks was red and swollen, and she almost got hit by a car, yet she could speak in a serious tone that she was in need of a boyfriend.
She was even willing to offer him money. Did he look like an unemployed person? Perhaps he was being treated as some kind of service staff with an improper job?
Her face was expressionless as he slowly approached Ning Sheng and whispered, “I don’t need a girlfriend. I need a wife to carry on my family line.”
“Can you consider me?” Ning Sheng’s beautiful eyes were extremely serious.
Marrying the man in front of her was better than being a puppet to her parents, right?
“What’s your name?” Lu Chu Yao asked.
“Ning Sheng.”
Lu Chu Yao glanced at her feet and said, “Get in the car.”
The black car drove in the night, it was being followed by several limited-edition luxury cars. They followed closely like shadows but did not dare to get too close. Lu Chu Yao was driving the car, and Ning Sheng was sitting in the front passenger seat. Her face was cold and did not utter a word.
“Why do you need a boyfriend?” Lu Chu Yao wasn’t curious at first, but this woman not being bothered by the accident piqued his interest. Her eyes were filled with despair and there was no life in them. It was as if being hit by a car was a relief.
Ning Sheng touched her red and swollen cheek and said, “My parents value men over women. They want me to marry a man who is not in good health. That man is over 50 years old and is seriously ill. They want me to marry him just for 20 thousand dollars. The money will be for my brother to get a wife.”
That was why she had escaped. She was not willing to accept her fate.
Perhaps she was really in despair, she was actually telling a stranger her true feelings.
For 20 thousand dollars nothing was worth it!
Lu Chu Yao scoffed coldly in his heart.
“You don’t want to accept your fate, so you asked me to help you?” Lu Chu Yao’s voice was low and hoarse. He sneered, “Be your boyfriend?”
“When you asked me to get in the car just now, I thought we’d already come to an agreement. I’ll pay you, and you’ll act with me.”
Lu Chu Yao sneered, “What makes you think you can afford it?”
“Are you… very expensive?” Ning Sheng asked carefully, suddenly losing her confidence.
Lu Chu Yao looked at her with a serious look and suddenly had the thought of teasing her.
“No… No, I am not very expensive, but I charge by the hour.”
Charging by the hour? Ning Sheng was taken aback. She looked at him and suddenly remembered that this man had said from the beginning that he charged by the hour.
“You’re a service staff? Then you can take on private jobs.” Ning Sheng’s eyes were clear, and she spoke frankly as if she was thinking for the man in front of her.
Service staff for a nightclub?
This was the first time Lu Chu Yao heard of such an evaluation.
“Miss Ning Sheng, how much are you going to pay me?”
“I’m still interning and haven’t received my salary yet. I only have 25 dollars in my pocket right now.”
After Ning Sheng finished speaking, she took out cash from her pocket, her expression serious.
Lu Chu Yao was speechless.
The black car stopped in front of the hotel. Lu Chu Yao’s expression was indifferent as he gestured for the other party to get out of the car. Ning Sheng saw the golden words ‘Landscape Hotel’ in front of her and asked, “What are we doing here?”
“Sleep with me, and I’ll agree to your request and put on an act with you.”
These words could be said to come from a hooligan.
When he saw Ning Sheng’s conflicted expression, he assumed that she might not agree.
Ning Sheng asked, “Sleep with you? You’ll help me if I sleep with you?”
She desperately needed freedom and to get rid of her greedy parents. Even if the price of freedom was a little high, she was willing to accept it as long as she could live her own life and not be a puppet.
“A gentleman’s promise must be kept.”
