Tang Yu noticed Fu Lengyu's unusual mood and asked calmly, "An Ran, when did you and Ye Bai become so close?"
She smiled and joked, "I've known Ye Bai for so long, but I've never seen him be so polite to me before!" It sounded like they had some kind of secret affair. Although An Ran felt that the words were a bit inappropriate, she couldn't find a way to refute them for a while and could only remain silent in embarrassment.
However, Lu Ye Bai was too familiar with these scheming things and looked at Tang Yu with a meaningful smile, sneering and explaining, "It's none of your business how close we are. You just need to know that we are so close that someone knows about it! It's not something that can't be seen in the light!"
This merciless sneer made Tang Yu feel embarrassed and unable to retort. An Ran didn't want to get involved in their scheming and remained silent, so she played with Rui Rui on the side, chatting happily. Lu Ye Bai looked at Tang Yu with a meaningful look and said,
"See? This is why I'm willing to help her." Fu Lengyu glanced at Tang Yu and said nothing. Tang Yu rarely encountered people who didn't give her face, and when she met someone like Lu Ye Bai, whose background was better than hers, she really didn't know what to do for a while and awkwardly said, "No wonder! It seems that Miss An is really popular with children!"
An Ran didn't want to get involved in their scheming and remained silent in embarrassment. After finishing the ice cream, An Ran was about to say something, but Fu Lengyu spoke first, "It's getting late, let's all go back."
After speaking, he naturally took An Ran's hand and turned to her, saying, "Let's go back." Before she could even refuse, An Ran had already been pulled into the car by Fu Lengyu.
Watching the scene of the two leaving, Tang Yu was so angry that she could barely keep her teeth from grinding. Meanwhile, Lu Ye Bai remained calm and even took pleasure in seeing Tang Yu in such a state.
"I advise some people not to waste their efforts. You've never been his type!" Lu Ye Bai glanced at Tang Yu and spoke in a relaxed and easy tone, making Tang Yu feel embarrassed and wishing she could disappear.
In the car, Fu Leng Yu had a cold expression that gave off a strong sense of oppression. An Ran originally wanted to sit in the back seat, but he forcibly dragged her to the passenger seat. Looking at the man next to her who was always releasing cold air and low pressure, she felt that Fu Leng Yu was really inexplicable today.
Before, when he got angry, there was at least a reason, but now...he didn't even need a reason. She was simply someone else's punching bag!
An Ran thought bitterly in her heart, but wasn't she just a punching bag? She was a punching bag that had been bought at a high price.
If she wanted to regain her freedom, she would have to pay back that money. But that money...with her own abilities, she was afraid she would never be able to earn that much in her lifetime.
Somehow, An Ran's thoughts gradually drifted to the idea of freedom, until Fu Leng Yu spoke and brought her back to reality.
"Tell me, when did you start flirting with Ye Bai?"
His cold and ruthless tone made An Ran pale with fear. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What do you mean by flirting? As the person involved, how could I not know when I started flirting with Lu Ye Bai?"
Her innocent and fearful eyes were filled with confusion, but lacked the calmness and ease she had shown when facing Lu Ye Bai earlier.
Fu Leng Yu's heart felt like it was being crushed by a boulder, making it hard for him to breathe. His harsh laughter pierced her ears. "What are you pretending for? Weren't you just laughing happily in the store? But as soon as you see me, you put on a virtuous and pure act. An Ran, you make me sick!"
An Ran trembled with anger and disbelief. She asked Fu Lengyu, "If you have doubts, you can go ask your good friend yourself and see if I seduced him! I hardly said a few words to him, and all of them were to Ruirui! Why do you have the right to defame my character like this?"
Being repeatedly suspected like this, An Ran was almost unable to speak. She wasn't that kind of person! Why did everyone think she was a promiscuous woman?"You're not that kind of woman?"
Fu Lengyu sneered sarcastically. His mocking laughter was like sharp needles, piercing the most painful part of An Ran's heart, causing her to bleed. "If you weren't that kind of woman, then you shouldn't have accepted the check I gave you! If you had refused, maybe I would have thought better of you!"
Fu Lengyu's cold eyes swept over her. The car had arrived at the villa, and he stopped the car and pulled An Ran into the villa. An Ran's wrist was pulled so hard that it hurt, and the more she struggled, the more painful it became. "What are you doing? Let go of me! Fu Lengyu, let go of me first..."
The excessive pain made her unable to muster any strength to resist. "What qualifications do you have to refuse me?" Fu Lengyu's eyes were full of disgust. His look of disgust and disdain pierced An Ran's heart. This kind of gaze reminded her of what happened in Switzerland.
When she was slandered by Ante and his friends, Fu Lengyu also looked down on her like this, as if she were a despicable woman who didn't deserve any respect, as if even looking at her would dirty his eyes.
Even though her innocence was later proven, Fu Lengyu didn't apologize, and even used this incident as a bargaining chip to exchange benefits with Terrell.
Memories flooded her mind, and the indescribable grievance exploded in her heart. Anran looked at Fu Lengyu with red eyes and said, "Yes, I can't refuse you. So what do you want to do with me this time? Do you want to sell me to Ante again, or do you want to find me a new buyer?"
Fu Lengyu's anger was like being suddenly doused with cold water, and he became calm from head to toe. However, Anran couldn't calm down. She coldly asked him, "Why aren't you saying anything? I just don't know what benefits you want to exchange for me this time?"Anran smiled knowingly, although her face was smiling, her black and white eyes were full of sadness and sarcasm. "Oh... I forgot what you said. I'm just a commodity you bought, and commodities don't have the right to question their owners, right?"
Fu Lengyu was stunned in place, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything while looking at Anran.
