“You can help by returning all the money I spent on your gifts,” Chen Tianming drawled.

Liu Xixi couldn’t control herself any longer. It seems that this b*stard was determined to get his money back.

Chen Tianming had a pained countenance as he continued, “Xixi, you haven’t heard, but my project recently lost more than three million yuan; my heart aches at the loss! If I don’t get more money, this’ll be the end of my life!”

Liu Xixi finally understood that this wasn’t a test. She gritted her teeth and said, “So, you’re just short of money?”

Chen Tianming raised his eyebrows, “What else did you expect?”

Liu Xixi clenched her teeth so hard in her anger they nearly cracked. It was clear to her now. There was no test or true love; it was just her wishful thinking!

Her eyes were red as she looked at Chen Tianming with anger and hatred.

Chen Tianming was mystified.

‘I’m just asking for my money back, miss. Why are you looking at me like that?’

She looked as if he’d cheated her of money and love!

“Is this why you made me look bad in the live stream?” Liu Xixi said with reddened eyes.

“Ah?” Chen Tianming didn’t understand and was even shocked. He barely did anything, yet in her eyes, it was like he’d committed a sin.

“I don’t believe your family can’t afford to pay this pittance. Why are this you asking me for the money?” Liu Xixi continued slowly, looking like she was on the verge of tears.

“I was worried that you might have encountered some problems, so I came to ask if you needed help. I didn’t expect you to make things difficult for me just because of this paltry sum. Tianming, I misjudged you.”

Chen Tianming was again bewildered by her thought process. ‘Miss, with your reasoning capabilities, I think you have a talent in network marketing.’

‘If you think this is a small amount of money, then why don’t you just give it back already?’

“Do you really want to fuss over this little bit of money?” Liu Xixi continued aggressively.

“Option 1: Forget the money and continue being a cuckold and a patsy. Reward: End of cyberbullying.”

“Option 2: Make her return the money. Reward: A slap from Liu Xixi and being blacklisted from all her contacts and social media.”

“Option 3: Tell Liu Xixi you won’t bother her about the money if she performs a strip dance for you at the KTV tonight. Reward: an adult video of Liu Xixi.”

‘Don’t mind if I do!’

Although Chen Tianming was no longer interested in Liu Xixi, as a netizen, he was still interested in the adult video.

‘Ah, I mean, how could I bear to let Liu Xixi return the money?’

Chen Tianming chose the third option without hesitation. He wasn’t worried about the cyberbullying, although he was curious about who was so bold as to bark up his tree.

“Quit your nonsense,” Chen Tianming interrupted Liu Xixi’s tirade. “I just want the money. Don’t talk to me about anything else.”

Liu Xixi’s face paled, “Chen Tianming, what kind of man are you?! How can you ask for a gift back when you’d given it away?”

“Okay, okay, whatever you say,” Chen Tianming replied impatiently, “So where’s the money?”

Liu Xixi was speechless at his attitude but pushed on and said, “Well, what if I don’t return the money?”

Chen Tianming sneered, “You can try. It’s a piece of cake for the Chen Family to handle an internet celebrity.”

Liu Xixi instantly felt the pressure of dealing with a superior like Chen Tianming!

The sudden awareness made Liu Xixi break out in a cold sweat. Chen Tianming had never put on airs when he pursued her; she had almost forgotten that he was one of those born to be in the center of power.

Tianming tilted his head and smiled. “Why the sudden silence from our internet super idol?”

“Not only did you take so much of my money, but you also revealed my personal information in the live stream yesterday. What do you think I should do with you?”

Liu Xixi’s face paled in fear. She stammered and could not say a word.

Chen Tianming saw that he’d almost broken through Liu Xixi’s defenses, so he continued, “So, return my money.”

“Tianming, I don’t have that much money right now…” Liu Xixi minced her words, hoping that Chen Tianming was just joking with her and didn’t honestly want her to repay him.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to pay the money,” Chen Tianming chuckled. “Come to the Imperial Grand’s VIP room 666 tonight and do whatever I say, then I won’t ask you about the money anymore.”

Chen Tianming’s ‘do whatever I say’ had Liu Xixi’s imagination running wild, and her face turned red at the implication. She made up her mind; it wasn’t the first time she sold her body anyway. At most, Chen Tianming would discover she wasn’t a virgin. So what?

Moreover…

Chen Tianming was handsome, and he came from wealth. It was not a loss to be his girl… Even if he was just in it for fun, she had countless ways to get money from Chen Tianming.

And with that thought, Liu Xixi agreed without hesitation. Looking at Chen Tianming shyly, she said, “Tianming, so that’s your goal? You’re such a bad boy ~.”

‘What?’

Liu Xixi’s behavior gave Chen Tianming goosebumps. ‘What is she doing? Why is she acting like a pervert? Her moods turn on a dime.’

Now he’d lost his appetite. Why did he like such a crazy person before?

Chen Tianming looked at her with disdain and said, “Alright, you can leave now.”

Liu Xixi’s smile froze on her face. “Aren’t you going to treat me to a meal?”

“What gave you that idea?” Chen Tianming looked at Liu Xixi in bewilderment and quickly downed his glass of water.

The next second, Liu Xixi stood up and grabbed the glass he had left on the table, ready to pour water onto Chen Tianming’s face!

Unfortunately, the glass was empty.

Chen Tianming sighed. Luckily, he had the foresight to finish his drink.

Liu Xixi gritted her teeth and glared at Chen Tianming before she grabbed her bag and left.

As soon as she walked out, Chen Tianming ordered a table of delicious food. He took a deep breath, savoring the smell of the steaming crab stew. ‘Ah, this is the dream life.’

Liu Xixi gritted her teeth; the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She couldn’t understand how Chen Tianming had changed into a different person in just a few days!

Her face darkened in thought, but then, she bumped into someone.

Chen Tianming finished his meal and was about to return to school when he saw Jiang Bei and his so-called friends sitting in a milk tea shop.

Chen Tianming raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect Jiang Bei to frequent milk tea shops with his gang. A bunch of guys sitting in a milk tea shop; didn’t that sound like something only crazies would do?

Chen Tianming wanted to ignore them, but Jiang Bei spotted him and waved at him excitedly, “Tianming!”

‘How embarrassing,’ Tianming thought silently.

However, Tianming still had to ‘play nice,’ so he smiled.

“Don’t you guys have classes in the afternoon?” Chen Tianming stood at the entrance of the milk tea shop. He had no intention of entering.

Jiang Bei winked at Chen Tianming. He even ran to the entrance and pulled Chen Tianming in, gesturing as he said, “Tianming, take a look.”
