Chapter 15: Chapter 15 The Patron Lord is Difficult to Serve
Lu Wanwan turned her head, “What did you say?”
“How much money do you want.”
This time, he spoke one word at a time, very clearly.
Lu Wanwan looked at him in surprise, unable to read anything from those cool and thin eyes, only feeling that the light within them was dim and profound.
Was Gu Annan offering her money? Or was he asking this question just to humiliate her?
If it were before, her pride would never allow herself to bow her head. But now, her temper had long been worn down over the years.
The contemptuous looks, the mocking tone, these things could no longer hurt her.
“Two hundred thousand…” she said cautiously.
Gu Annan gazed at her, his pale face contrasting sharply with his scattering black hair.
Her gaze darted away, her rosy lips pressed tight and trembling slightly, stubbornness and endurance struggling in her eyes.
“Even if you shoot ten times with Bai Lingyun, you won’t earn two hundred thousand.”
What Gu Annan said was the truth, Lu Wanwan was very clear about that.
But she couldn’t give up just because the hopes were slim, she couldn’t.
“Gu Annan.” She bit her lower lip, “If there’s nothing else…”
“I can give you the two hundred thousand.”
His cold voice suddenly interrupted her.
She stared at him in shock, thinking she had heard wrong.
“Of course, there are conditions.” Gu Annan watched the emotions change on her face, a slight cold smile on his handsome face, “Two hundred thousand, for one month of service.”
“Wha, what one month?” Lu Wanwan looked at him, her eyes wide, logic telling her it can’t be anything good.
Gu Annan spoke mockingly, “I’m paying the money, naturally I’m the sponsor. Of course, it’s for selling your body!”
She was completely stunned.
She had thought he would at most mock her a bit, but didn’t expect him to propose such a condition.
“But, aren’t you supposed to get engaged with Lu Kexin? And you said you had no interest in me, and also…”
“One minute to consider.” Gu Annan said, somewhat annoyed.
Proposing this condition hadn’t been in his plan at all, it was almost a reflex, feeling like an opportunity, he had spoken without even thinking about whether he had a reasonable excuse.
That’s why he especially didn’t want to hear any of her irrational reasons.
But with this woman’s usual pride, accepting such humiliation was almost impossible.
“I agree!” Lu Wanwan blurted out.
No matter the reason, she couldn’t waste this opportunity.
She needed that two hundred thousand very, very much.
“What did you say?” Gu Annan frowned tightly, not expecting her to agree so quickly.
Lu Wanwan, fearing he would change his mind, “I said I agree to your conditions, Gu Annan, you’re not thinking of going back on your word, are you?”
She glanced at him quickly.
The cold frown on his handsome face, completely inscrutable as to what he was really planning.
But that wasn’t important; the important thing was that she finally saw a turning point for the two hundred thousand she needed.
At least she knew, once Gu Annan agreed, he would certainly not renege on the money.
Confronting his grim eyes, she spoke with difficulty, “Don’t worry, I know what you mean. I won’t mention this to anyone, and I won’t let anyone from the Lu Family find any clues.”
Gu Annan watched her submissive manner and fell silent instead.
Three hours later, Lu Wanwan began to doubt her decision, doubting whether she could really get the money this way.
Because she had been following this sponsor without a moment’s separation for three hours, and he had not mentioned money again.
