True Meaning of Cruel

Two phrases played over and over in Han Zhongteng's mind. One was "life's fate" and the other was "lack of self-respect".

He recognized how self-demeaning it was to like someone as shameless as Liang Xinyi.

But he was weak for her, especially when she put on such a brave front despite having been humiliated. He felt his self-respect leave his body.

Most men were obsessed with the purity and virginity of their women, but somehow he had set his sights on someone like Liang Xinyi.

Nevertheless, their exchange was purely transactional. There was something she wanted from him, and there was something he wanted from her. It was business.

Lust was a part of the biological man after all. Han Zhongteng saw value in investing in these exchanges between the two of them.

The other men in the private room watched as Han Zhongteng hurriedly left with the young girl. They all knew that Young Master Han was too far gone.
