"AXing, you were looking for me?"
"I’ve been trying to call you these past few days, but I couldn’t get through. Later, I asked around and found out you live in this neighborhood, so I came to check."
"My phone broke, so I changed my number."
"No wonder it was always off when I called."
"Did you need something from me?"
"Look at me, almost forgetting the main thing." AXing pulled him to a corner. Seeing that there was no one else around, he spoke in a low voice, "Yixun, later on, Young Master Jun came looking for me again."
Lin Yixun furrowed her brow, not quite understanding what AXing meant.
"Young Master Jun said... Young Master Jun said his client was quite satisfied with you and asked if you might be interested in being his long-term companion?"
Lin Yixun’s thick eyelashes trembled imperceptibly. Companion? It’s just a euphemism for a bed partner, isn’t it?
She never would have thought Leng Yixiu would ask Young Master Jun to propose this to her. What does he mean by this? Isn’t Cheng Ying enough for him? Even if he is unsatisfied, why approach her and not someone else?
Is humiliating her and seeing her in pain more gratifying for him?
Or is it that since Cheng Ying ’lost face’ here a few days ago, he wants to reclaim it this way? If that’s the case, shouldn’t he at least ask Cheng Ying’s opinion first?
She thought, even if Cheng Ying disliked her as much as possible, she still wouldn’t use such a method to humiliate her.
Lin Yixun gave a cold laugh. Leng Yixiu constantly updated her understanding of him!
After a long while, Lin Yixun heard her own calm voice, "AXing, please tell Young Master Jun that I am not interested in this matter."
"Yixun, think it over. Young Master Jun said you could ask for any terms you want, as long as you agree, money is negotiable."
"No need, I’ve already made up my mind."
Without a second thought, Lin Yixun refused. Though she was short of money, she would not debase herself so far as to let Leng Yixiu trample on her dignity. Even if she had to sell herself, Leng Yixiu would be the last person!
"Well... alright then."
AXing knew Lin Yixun had a stubborn streak in her bones. They were not the same type of people. If she was unwilling, no one could force her, so he gave up. Besides, he didn’t really want to be a pimp either.
"Sorry, AXing, that you had to make this trip for nothing because of me."
"It’s no big deal, don’t worry about it. You’ve helped me a lot in the past. Otherwise, I would have been fired by the manager long ago. If you ever have difficulties in the future, feel free to find me. If I can help, I’ll definitely do so. Alright, it’s getting late, I need to return to work. We’ll be in touch."
Only then did Lin Yixun notice AXing’s outfit of leather jacket and leather pants, with heavy makeup. It seemed she was heading to Nightshade, so she didn’t keep her, but smiled faintly, "Okay, see you!"
Lin Yixun pushed open the door to her home, and Lin’s mother had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes. The aroma filled the room, brightening her mood.
"Mom, with such a big table of food, how can the two of us finish it?"
"If we can’t finish it, just eat as much as you can. You’ve lost a lot of weight recently taking care of me, you’re all skin and bones now. How can you go without some nourishment?" Lin’s mother handed a bowl of soup to Lin Yixun, "Here, drink the soup first, warm up your stomach."
Lin Yixun held the bowl, sipping it slowly, but then Lin’s mother suddenly said, "I just ran into a girl downstairs, dressed gaudily. What’s with young girls these days, exposing their waists and thighs with no sense of propriety."
