Fortunately, he had remarkable self-control, and there was still a fraction of rationality left in his mind.
He knew that if they continued here, it would turn into a public spectacle for the whole world to see.
He lifted An Ruo in his arms and strode toward the car. The backrest lowered, and the one-way visible car window rose, the luxurious car isolated everything from the outside world.
An Ruo lay on the backrest, drenched and flushed, her eyes glazed.
The robust male body covered hers; her body trembled slightly for no reason.
She swore she was truly inebriated, but she also swore she knew what Tang Yuchen was doing, what she herself was doing.
Yet her reason couldn’t stop it all; maybe she was bewitched, under a spell, and could only yield to her body’s response...
That night, beside the deserted fountain, became an unforgettable one in An Ruo’s life.
It was unforgettable because she sadly realized that her body had started to sink.
When she opened her eyes, An Ruo was stunned for a few seconds before she realized she was back in the villa, lying in bed.
She had no recollection of how she got back last night.
After lingering in bed for a while, she went to take a shower, changed her clothes, and went downstairs, where she saw Tang Yuchen working in the living room.
His legs were casually resting on the coffee table, with a miniature laptop on his lap.
Seeing An Ruo come down, he patted the place beside him, gesturing for her to sit down.
An Ruo sat down beside him indifferently, and the man pointed to the asset evaluation chart on the screen, saying, "This is the An family’s current total assets. Although it’s not a lot of money, it’s still an enterprise. Yesterday was your birthday; how about I give it to you as a gift?"
This was An Mingqi’s company, yet he spoke as if the An family’s assets were his to give away, as if he could easily hand them over to someone else.
An Ruo pursed her lips and stayed silent, her downcast eyes revealing no emotion.
Tang Yuchen smiled and said, "At this point, you should be very clear that your father owned seventy percent of the shares, but all were taken by your uncle. If you sue him, the entire An family’s assets could become yours and An Ji’s. You’ve always disdained using my money; with this inheritance, you could live without worries, and An Ji could save decades of struggle. You should hold onto this opportunity tightly, don’t miss out."
"Do you hope I get it?" An Ruo asked him flatly.
The man raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Don’t you want it?"
"I don’t know..." She really didn’t know whether to take it.
She wasn’t ambitious, and money held almost no temptation for her.
Tang Yuchen seemed to see through her thoughts and told her, "Then I’ll decide for you. Take it. I will have a lawyer handle this, and you won’t have to worry about anything."
An Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Can I take back only fifty percent?"
Although she harbored resentment toward Uncle for swallowing her father’s assets, she acknowledged that the An family’s current glory was also the result of his hard work.
She didn’t want it all, just half would suffice. Pursuing this half was also for Xiao Ji’s future.
The man lifted her chin with a finger, his lips curving in a smile, "A woman’s mercy towards an enemy is often cruelty to herself."
An Ruo’s heart felt as if it had been pricked with a needle. She brushed his hand away, stood up, and said coolly, "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you!"
"A woman who is too soft-hearted is bound to suffer a great loss."
"I’ve said, it’s none of your business!" She retorted sharply.
