Before long, a glass of ice water was handed to Ouyang Hao.
Ouyang Hao gulped down the water, narrowed his eyes at Lin Yixun, and said leisurely, "Lin Yixun, I’ve gone through a lot of trouble to help you this time. How do you plan to repay me?"
"I... can I treat you to a meal?"
"A meal? Who cares about your meal!"
"Then... Mr. Ouyang, how would you like me to thank you?"
Ouyang Hao’s eyes sparkled, and suddenly he leaned closer to her with a wicked smile, "How about you offer yourself to me?"
Lin Yixun instinctively took a step back to maintain a safe distance from Ouyang Hao, "Mr. Ouyang, you must be joking. With my looks and figure, how could you possibly take a fancy to me?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... At least you have some self-awareness." Ouyang Hao leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs, and stared at her with a mocking smile. He suddenly said, "How about this, tell me what your relationship with Leng Yixiu is, and I’ll consider letting you off."
Seeing the color drain from Lin Yixun’s face, the playful smile on the man’s face gradually disappeared, and his eyes turned sharp, "Don’t tell me he’s your sugar daddy?"
Ouyang Hao’s words, though lightly spoken, hit Lin Yixun like a hammer, striking her heart with each syllable. She shook her head vigorously, "I don’t know Mr. Leng!"
"Don’t know him?" The man’s face suddenly turned cold, "Lin Yixun, I’m not blind!"
If she didn’t know him, how would Leng Yixiu know her name? Did she think Ouyang Hao was an idiot?
The more Lin Yixun tried to cover up, the more Ouyang Hao felt she was hiding something. The more she denied it, the more he believed his suspicion was correct.
For some reason, he felt a surge of anger. What was he angry about? That Lin Yixun had degraded herself? Or that she was shameless?
The man’s eyes grew colder and colder. Lin Yixun knew that Ouyang Hao had definitely misunderstood.
She wanted to explain, "Mr. Ouyang, actually I..."
"Shut up!" Ouyang Hao interrupted her coldly, fearing that once he got the answer, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from strangling this woman.
Lin Yixun stared fixedly at Ouyang Hao, but he did not look at her even once more, as if another glance at her would soil his eyes.
She gave a bitter smile. He must have concluded that she was the type of woman who would sell everything for money. If that was the case, what was the point in explaining anything?
She had thought that Ouyang Hao was somewhat different from others and would hear her out. Now it seemed it was all just her delusion.
Lin Yixun opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t utter a word. What could she explain? How could she explain? Should she say she was Leng Yixiu’s ex-wife? Should she say that Leng Yixiu had violated her?
The wound had just started to scab over. Would she have to tear it open again, exposing the flesh and blood?
No, that would be too painful!
Lin Yixun lowered her eyes weakly, "Mr. Ouyang, I’ll get back to work now."
With that, she turned around, picked up the mop, and silently cleaned the last spot in the apartment.
When she had finished cleaning everything and went downstairs, Ouyang Hao was nowhere to be seen. Lin Yixun forced a stiff smile. He must be so disgusted with her that he couldn’t bear to stay another second.
Perhaps, this job wouldn’t last much longer either.
Feeling dazed on the way back, by the time Lin Yixun arrived at the residential area, it was already completely dark. Downstairs, she ran into AXing. She was a bit surprised, but from AXing’s hesitant expression, she could tell that AXing’s visit might not be for anything good.
