Dirty?!

Li Yang's long eyelashes trembled slightly. He felt a little sad. Lu Qimu actually thought she was dirty?! How could he say that about her that night, her first time?

Li Yang couldn't help but defend himself. "That night, I was drugged …"

If she had not been drugged, she would not have dared to provoke this man. Although the Li family was considered a Wealthy Class in B City, it was a pity that in front of the Lu family, they were like ants.

Lu Qimu could easily crush her with just a flick of his fingers. How could she dare to do such a thing?

She just happened to fall into the room he didn't lock her in while she was running away.

In order to avoid being caught by the crowd and losing her innocence, she had no choice but to close the door and hide inside the house …

She fumbled in the darkness until she reached the bed and touched the body of an unfamiliar man. As a result, she could no longer control herself and her reason collapsed. She kissed that warm lips and tasted the faint aroma of wine …

She didn't remember what happened after that. She only remembered that she was in pain …

At dawn the next day, she was awakened by the pain from her body, and then she saw him lying beside her, and for a moment she was terrified.

Everyone in B City knew that there was a person in Lu Qimu's heart. For that person, he had not been in love with a woman for many years, and there were no rumors about him. Now, she had crawled into his bed.

Although he was now asleep and looked harmless, she could foresee the terrifying scene when he woke up and wanted to kill her.

She thought that since she did not turn on the light last night, he definitely could not see her appearance clearly, so she took advantage of the fact that Lu Qimu was still in deep sleep to tiptoe out of bed, pick up the messy clothes on the floor and put them on, then quickly escaped from this dangerous place.

For the sake of safety, she had even used the Li Family's influence in B City to destroy the surveillance footage from last night. This way, Lu Qimu would not know who had slept last night.

Later on, Lu Qimu had indeed not come looking for her, and the Li Family had been doing well as well. Therefore, she had been mistaken for someone who did not know about this matter.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps he just felt that this matter was a stain in his heart, and he was unwilling to let his beloved woman misunderstand, which would cause her to rot in his stomach. And that woman must be Qin Xi'er …

"So when you're done using it, I'll run?" Her clear, cold peach blossom eyes narrowed as a layer of frost covered them.

"It's not like that …"

"Li Yang." She still wanted to explain something, but he cut her off. Lu Qimu's tight jaw line looked scary, and a trace of malice flashed in his eyes. He said, "When you provoke me, you should bear all the consequences."

For the sake of her mother, she had to go up even if it was Blade Mountain. It was a sea of fire, and she had to jump, too. As long as she could save her mother, she could leave anything behind, anything.

"Mister Lu." She lowered her head, looking very humble, and lowered her voice, "If you have any anger, you can release it on me. If you hate me, you can also do it on me, I promise that you won't scold or retaliate, but please don't be angry with my mother, I will definitely pay you back the money within two days."

"Miss Li, I'm not running this hospital for charity." He sneered, with great impatience. "Get out."

"I won't!" Li Yang felt that he must have gone crazy to say those two words, because Lu Qimu's expression was extremely ugly.

"Very good!" He suddenly smiled happily, but his eyes were shockingly cold. He took out his cell phone and said, "It seems you want me to turn off your mother's ventilator. That's why you're willing to listen."

"No." She quickly grabbed his wrist, afraid to dial the number. Then, under the other party's fierce gaze, she quickly let go of his hand. Finally, she gave in. "I'll get out of the car."

The driver had already opened the door, but when he was about to enter the cab, he saw Lirin, so he didn't dare get in. He waited until he saw her get out before re-entering the cab.

The atmosphere inside the car was heavy. The moment the driver left, he could feel a stifling atmosphere. He didn't even dare to make a sound as he drove the car straight into the villa.

Li Yang didn't dare to follow. He could only watch as the black Bentley turned into the villa and disappeared from his sight. At that moment, she felt physically and mentally exhausted, as if she had no strength left in her body at all.

This was the first time she felt that Lu Qimu was not only terrifying, but also vile.

Even if she had let him down back then, he wouldn't have taken revenge on her for her mother's life. Moreover, she had already said what she should say and apologized, so why wouldn't he forgive her? Why wouldn't he let her go?

There were only a few hours left before the deadline for the payment of money the next day. Helplessly, Li Yang leaned against a tree by the side of the road and continued calling Cheng Xu.

However, even after calling several times, Cheng Xu still refused to answer.

She still did not give up and kept dialing the same number.

Time passed second by second. There were no stars, nor was there a moon. The night sky started to get windy. Although it was early summer, the temperature difference in B City was rather large.

She rubbed her hands to keep them warm as she continued to make calls. She really had no other choice as she silently prayed for Cheng Xu to hurry up and pick up the phone.

It was unknown if it was due to some mumbling or not, but Cheng Xu actually answered the phone. As if seeing a beam of light in the dark, Li Yang was pleasantly surprised. "Cheng Xu, you're finally willing to pick up my call."

"Li Yang, even if I've let you down, don't call me." Cheng Xu's voice sounded exhausted, and Li Yang had a bad feeling about this. "Cheng Xu, what's wrong?"

"Just a few hours ago, our company's computer was hacked. All our secret files were decrypted and stolen, Li Yang …" The voice on the other end of the phone paused, "I think I might have offended someone I shouldn't have …"

Sweat trickled down from Li Yang's palms as he held his phone tightly. He heard his own voice, "Cheng Xu … What you're saying is... "What does that mean?"

After hesitating for a second, Cheng Xu finally answered Li Lang, "I'm sorry, I can't lend you the money, whether it's for Little Yan or the company …"

"Cheng Xu!" Li Yang painfully shouted out his name, but a cold beep sounded from the other side of the phone, as if he was mocking her naivety. Innocently, he thought that God had closed a door on her and would at least leave a window open for her …

Too many things had happened in the past few days. The Li Group had gone bankrupt, her father had fled with the money, her mother was in critical condition, her fiance had made a new marriage, and she was begging everywhere for help, but Lu Qimu was still pressing on her step by step …

She really felt like she couldn't hold on any longer. At this moment, she didn't want to go anywhere. If she had to watch her mother die, she might as well freeze to death here tonight …

Inside the villa, a tall and straight man was holding a cup of coffee as he leaned against the window. He seemed to be looking at something through the thin curtain …

Beside his feet, there was a Samoyed dog sleeping soundly. It had a small, white, fluffy body, and was especially adorable.

As if she thought of something, she opened her mouth and said, "Sir, I just saw Miss Li sitting outside on the grass. Judging by the weather, it's probably going to rain during the night. Do you want me to invite her in?"

His sharp gaze fell on her. "You want to rain with her?"

The maid was scared: "I'm sorry, sir." Then, he put down the midnight snack in his hand, took a step, and left the room in a hurry.

Although Mister was usually cold and silent, he did not lose his temper. The maid did not expect that when Miss Li was mentioned earlier, Mister's eyes would be so terrifying.

Yesterday, Mister brought Miss Li back, who was drenched from head to toe. They all thought that to Mister Li, Miss Li was a completely different existence. After all, Mister Li had never brought a woman back to this house, including Miss Qin, whom he had doted on a long time ago.

She could not guess what her husband was thinking, nor did she dare to guess. She was just a maid, and she had to always remember her own identity.

The maid who had served Lu Qimu for so many years walked out of the room, closed the door, glanced at Li Lang outside the villa, shook her head, and returned to her own residence.

Lu Chi Mo glanced at the midnight snack on the table, then picked up the cup of coffee in his hand and took a sip. Although he looked relaxed and elegant, his slightly furrowed brows exposed the worry in his heart.

Not long after, it started raining. Rain drops the size of beans fell like broken pearls. The rain got heavier and heavier, and soon, the rain had accumulated into puddles on the ground.

The midnight snack on the table had turned cold. Lu Qimu raised his left hand, and the world's one and only Turbrion Hour pointed to four in the morning.

The well-defined fingers lifted a corner of the curtain, and the rain blurred the window. He could vaguely see the figure curled up in the rain, hugging his knees and trembling.

After five whole hours, she stubbornly refused to leave.

The torrential rain mercilessly rained down on the large tree, causing loud noises to ring out. Icy cold liquid constantly flowed down Li Yang's cheeks. Li Yang did not know how long he had been soaking in the water.

She bit down on her lower lip and endured the pain. She struggled to raise her head and look at the room with the lights still on. Lu Qimu was still awake, so the corners of her mouth pulled up into a faint smile.

Her head was sinking, her body out of control, and the moment before she fainted she thought he must have been watching her, watching her, watching her, watching her.

Then, Lu Qimu, are you feeling better now? Can you hate me less? Let go of my mother, is that enough?!
