Gong Jue endured the blood from his nose and carefully carried her to the bed. He helplessly pressed against the unhappy Little Gong Jue…
The long night passed. The man’s warm palm gently massaged the woman’s cold abdomen for a long, long time.

On the same night.
Some people were tortured to the point of screaming, begging for their lives, and shouting until their throats became hoarse but it was useless. However, they still tried to enjoy themselves.
Some people slept like pigs without a care in the world, but the man next to her remained gentlemanly and didn’t take advantage of the situation. Instead, he willingly became her servant and massaged her to relieve her pressure.
There was also someone else… who sadly realized that this was the most unlucky night of her life! All the unlucky things had happened today.
Yun Qiao dragged her tired body back to the slums in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital.
That slum rental house was especially cheap.
Usually, it was jointly rented. An 80-square-meter residence had been transformed into 20 small rooms with only 4-square-meters each.
What was 4 square meters?
It was difficult to even turn around after placing a single bed.
It couldn’t be helped. The cost of living in the Imperial Capital was too high. As Yun Qiao was new, she was harassed by her male bosses because of her outstanding looks. Not only did she not earn money, but she also spent all of her remaining savings.
She had to live frugally! As for a home, she didn’t have the capital to be extravagant. As long as she wasn’t sleeping on the streets, anything was fine.
Were these days bitter?
Of course.
However, she didn’t regret it.
If she stayed at the house in Qing Cheng, her mother, younger brother, and father would probably force her to marry an old man with an ugly face who was in his early fifties, and had special hobbies…
Compared to that kind of life where she was sold off, what was this little pain now?
Although it was bitter, freedom was firmly in her hands.
As she cheered herself on, she pressed down on her empty stomach that had yet to eat dinner. Then, she opened the door with a key.
Once, twice, thrice.
She actually didn’t manage to open it.
In the beginning, she thought that she was so hungry that her hands trembled and she didn’t aim at the keyhole.
But after her eyes examined the lock, that door still couldn’t be opened!
Behind her, a cold mocking voice traveled over. “What are you looking at? I’ve already changed the lock. If you don’t pay the rent, then get lost early. I’m still waiting to rent it out to the next customer.”
It was the landlord’s fat wife!
Yun Qiao frowned slightly. “I’m sorry. I’ll get the money as soon as possible.”
She nearly forgot that she was supposed to pay the landlord last month’s rent today.
She also planned to make up for it as soon as she received her salary today.
Unfortunately, she had been fired from the cafe today. Everything had turned into nothing. Let alone the rent, she didn’t even have the money to buy bread now.
She couldn’t help but look embarrassed.
The landlady’s fat wife had red nail polish and big red lips. She sized Yun Qiao up and curled her lips. “You look good at such a young age. If you don’t have money, go out and sell yourself. At least, you can earn some back. Don’t tell me that you can’t even be bothered to sell yourself!”
Yun Qiao’s pupils shrank!
She swallowed the apology that she had been about to say.
Selling herself?
Heh heh, she wanted to escape the fate of being sold by her family. That was why she came out to roam the world alone.
Could it be that she would never be able to avoid that path?
On what basis should a young and beautiful woman be treated so lightly?
On what basis couldn’t she have a legitimate profession and earn a living?
