4 A Surprising Encounter (4)

Ye Chengwei looked at the uneasy An Ran. He put one hand in his pocket and walked to her.

An Ran's heart pounded faster. She lowered her head.

Ye Chengwei glanced at her wound which was covered by a Band-Aid and sat down gracefully on the couch next to her. He leaned slightly against its back, looking a little lazy but unspeakable attractive.

Do handsome men always look drop-dead gorgeous no matter what they do?

"How much do you want?" Ye Chengwei said indifferently straightforward. He didn't want to waste time.

How much will the girl ask for this little wound? One grand? Two grand?

An Ran swallowed nervously and flushed. Ye Chengwei was explicit. She did have come to ask him for money. But the number...she was too ashamed to tell.

Does this wound on her knee worth the sum?

An Ran got cold feet. But he was the only rich man she knew.

"Little girl, I don't have much time for you." Ye Chengwei's voice was of irreversible mighty and cruelty.

"200 grand!" The words escaped An Ran's lips. Then she found her heart about to explode.

Ye Chengwei fell silent for a minute then he sneered at her. The number was beyond his expectation, but it was not a big deal.

200 grand for such a little scar. The girl surely knows about the value of money.

He leaned against the couch and stretched his arms. He sized An Ran up. His gaze made An Ran terribly shameful of herself.

Just his gaze had made her uneasy.

An Ran knew she had overstepped his bottom line.

But she swallowed and forced herself to keep talking. "200 grand is all I need. I can...be your lifelong mistress."

That's all she had.

Ye Chengwei's sneer became colder. He stood up slowly and walked to An Ran elegantly. He looked down on her and asked in an icy tone. "Are you sure that I want a cheap mistress like you?"

An Ran bowed her head and bit her lips. She felt her courage dying down. She was not an outstanding girl, but she had always been well-behaved. Who would expect her to say those words and humiliate herself?

But thinking about her grandma who was waiting for the operation, An Ran found the nerve to stand up. She looked at the cynical Ye Chengwei in the eyes and held up her head a little. She said firmly, "I really need the money."

Seeing An Ran's firm look, Ye Chengwei stopped mocking at her and relooked at her with more interest. He bent forward a little and clenched An Ran's little jaw with his hand. Then he put on a charming smile.

She was the first girl who had ever dared to stand up to speak to him!

"Alright, then show me how you can be my mistress."

Then he took An Ran by her wrist and dragged her out of the office.

It's the first time that An Ran took a ride in a limousine. The soft leather seat felt like clouds. She would like to take a nap while sitting on it.

Good cars ran faster. Ye Chengwei drove the car quickly across the blocks through crowded streets like a rocket. An Ran felt several times that they were about to bounce into other cars, but Ye Chengwei all successfully dodged from them. Even her toes felt nervous and scared.

Police who were to warn him for his speeding all turned away once they saw his license plate.
