"Yixiu, you win." Lin Yixun spoke each word with determination, her heart filled with immense sorrow. In the end, she had still yielded to Yixiu.
"What’s the matter? From your tone, it seems you’re not very willing. Lin Yixun, actually, in this transaction, you haven’t lost out."
Lin Yixun smiled self-deprecatingly. Not lost out? Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. In exchange for a kidney, at least it would be worth tens of thousands. Given her appearance and figure now, tens of thousands was already a good deal.
"How long do I have to stay by your side? Since it’s a transaction, there must be a term."
"Ha, thinking about the end even before it starts?" The man’s voice suddenly turned a few degrees colder. "Lin Yixun, don’t think too highly of yourself. With your looks, I might get tired of you in a few days."
"That would be the best." Lin Yixun said expressionlessly, "However, I have one condition."
"Speak, what condition?"
"No matter how long this transaction lasts, it must end after you and Cheng Ying get married. I don’t want to be a third party destroying someone else’s marriage."
"Alright, I agree to that. However, I also have a condition. Before the transaction starts, you must cut ties with Ouyang Hao completely."
"You don’t need to remind me of that." Lin Yixun smiled mockingly. Even as a mistress, she would have the principles of a mistress.
"That’s good, I hope you won’t disappoint me." The man said in a deep voice, "Tonight, I’ll have Old He pick you up."
Before Lin Yixun could respond, the "beep beep" sound had already come from the phone. Lin Yixun smiled self-deprecatingly. This was the patron, always issuing orders, regardless if you agreed or not.
Just as she hung up, Ouyang Hao’s call came through, "Who were you talking to just now? I couldn’t get through for ages."
Lin Yixun’s heart tightened, she said solemnly, "No one, just the nanny who takes care of my mom. She said something came up and she’d be late."
Lin Yixun didn’t know whether to be grateful that over the years she had learned to lie.
"Oh...right, I haven’t visited your mom in days, how is she lately?"
"My mom...she’s quite well, she mentioned you this morning."
"Really? Then tell her, after I finish these two busy days, I’ll come visit her." There was some noise on Ouyang Hao’s end, as if someone was calling him.
"Yixun, I’m a bit busy here, I’ll talk to you later." Before hanging up, Ouyang Hao reminded, "Remember to come tonight, don’t forget, you must come!"
At that moment, a soft male voice suddenly came from the other end, "My dear young master, at a time , you’re still on the phone?"
Urged by the stylist, Ouyang Hao didn’t notice Lin Yixun’s distress, "Yixun, I’ll hang up now, see you later!"
Before Lin Yixun could reply, the call had already ended hurriedly.
Lin Yixun tightly gripped her phone, her thoughts in turmoil, she no longer had the courage to call Ouyang Hao and tell him she couldn’t make it to his concert tonight.
In fact, not just tonight’s concert, she wouldn’t be able to be a part of anything in Ouyang Hao’s life from now on.
Meanwhile, backstage, the stylist was busy applying makeup on Ouyang Hao.
Seeing Ouyang Hao playing with a velvet box, the stylist couldn’t help but tease, "Oh, Second Young Master Ouyang, what’s in that velvet box of yours? Could it be a diamond ring?"
