Chapter 59

"...Mr. Shentu, I, I don't want to change the contract." He Le lowered her eyes to the contract and refused.

She knew very well that multiplying all the amounts by five was entirely to her benefit, because whether it was one hundred thousand or five hundred thousand, she couldn't afford to pay it back; she would just have to obediently work for three months, while her income would actually rise to one hundred thousand per month. It wasn't that she didn't want to earn more money. Just think, if she had had one hundred thousand back then, she could have walked away immediately upon discovering the truth about this job, instead of...

But—she couldn't convince herself to accept this one-hundred-thousand-a-month salary with a clear conscience. Even with no work experience, she knew what a monthly income of one hundred thousand meant in today's workplace. And what she was doing now... from twenty thousand to one hundred thousand, perhaps her job content hadn't changed at all, but she had truly transformed from a manager into a kept prostitute...

Call her pretentious, or say she’s a whore who still wants to build a memorial arch for her chastity; if she can't get past her own conscience, she won't do it.

Shentu Mo didn't look up at her; he just raised one hand—and took off his glasses. He Le was so startled by this action that she took a step back, her hands tightly clenched behind her back.

Shentu Mo still didn't look at her; he just tilted his head to look at the clock, then stood up, turned, and walked to the dining table to sit down.

It wasn't until Shentu Mo finished his dinner and put down his knife and fork that He Le dared to step forward to clear the table. Who would have thought that the man would push the tray away at this moment and look at her with cold, fierce eyes.

The man’s glasses were like his mask, hiding his sharp eyes behind the lenses; the ruthlessness and cruelty in his bones seemed to be covered up along with them. However, once the magic of the glasses was gone, even his handsome face became wild, deep, and chillingly submissive.

Shentu Mo stood up and walked behind her, his body pressing against her until her waist hit the edge of the table, looking down at her as her brows furrowed in discomfort from the pressure of the table edge.

With his hands on either side of her, his breath against the back of her neck and ear, his low, magnetic voice spoke the language of a devil.

"You’d better have a clear understanding—in this apartment, the one with the worst temper isn't Ruan Lin, nor is it Mu Wei; it's me."

Trembling as she felt his lips and tongue moving, she... knew, she knew the consequences of defying him, but—

"...Mr. Shentu, this has nothing to do with having a good temper; you are all just more vicious than the last... Do you also use such coercion, inducement, and threats against those who oppose you at work? Uh, hmm..." Enduring the pain of him biting her shoulder and neck hard, He Le’s tone held a disappointment she couldn't even explain herself. "I originally thought your achievements came from your ability and your focus on your career, but it turns out... hehe..."

Shentu Mo’s body stiffened, but the next second he flipped her over and pinned her to the table, staring into her open, fearless eyes.

How long had it been... since he had been provoked?

However, before thinking about that question, he should first think carefully about why he chose the worst possible way to force her to sign the contract—no, he hadn't chosen at all. From the moment he knew she wanted to resign and escape this morning, his brain had already started refusing to think!

Author's Note:

I often feel like I'm quite trashy~~ It's normal to spend five or six hours writing over three thousand words~~ A male author on the forum once posted to despise authors who write over a thousand words per chapter~~ Jiangshan can only swallow her words in silence~

Actually, the two reasons I liked Xianwang at the beginning were~~ one~~ no messy censorship~~ two, readers could accept chapters of over a thousand words~

My only worry was that no one would pay attention to me~~ Later I found that the girls on Xianwang were a hundred times more enthusiastic than I had heard~~ I felt very lucky to have found the right place~~

Thank you everyone~~ Love you all~~~

I'm a bit long-winded today~~ I have to spend all day on the bus back to my hometown on Tuesday~~ If things go smoothly, I should be able to write when I get home at night~~ I'll try my best to write some on the bus tomorrow~~ I won't stop updating~~ Hugs to everyone~~

☆, Chapter 72: Suddenly Popular

Dragging her sore legs, a headache-ridden He Le returned to the sixth floor with a bitter face to wash Mu Wei’s body.

An hour and a half ago, she thought she was dead—after she said those mocking words to Shentu Mo, when she saw his bloodthirsty eyes like a leopard, but... who knows how much time passed, a faint smile actually appeared on Shentu Mo’s face, and then, he took her once on the dining table, and his movements weren't particularly rough as a punishment, it’s just... this time it really lasted a long time, and in the end, she could only twitch and beg for mercy at the climax, while he still looked relaxed, comfortable, and unsatisfied.

When she left, he didn't make her sign the revised contract, but returned the envelope from the day, though the credit card inside was snapped in half.

She flipped through the instructions accompanying the credit card in the envelope; it turned out that the credit card was a special high-limit card issued by the bank for Muse employees with a monthly salary of over twenty thousand, with a limit of—exactly one hundred thousand.

Could it be that Shentu Mo was afraid she would cash out the credit card to pay the breach of contract penalty? Please, if she couldn't afford the bank's minimum monthly payment, wouldn't she still go to jail...

However, what was he laughing at? Did she say something ridiculous?

"..." Mu Wei looked at her distracted state, wanting to ask what was wrong, but... couldn't ask. He had made grand promises to protect her and not allow anyone to hurt her again, but when he turned back, he found he had no standing at all.

She always returned to his side with the scent of having made love with other men, her calm appearance making him completely unable to guess her thoughts. Was she happy? What did she want? And what could he do for her?

"Honey, did you forget something?"
