"I... don't understand what you're saying," Leng Xi Yue said, her face flushing.
Damn man, so handsome indeed, making her heart race and face redden just by looking at him.
"You don't understand, huh? Truly innocent." Gong Xin Yi bit his teeth and let go of her hand.
"Then... if there's nothing else, I'll, I'll, I'll just go!" Leng Xi Yue said, reaching for the doorknob.
"You dare!" Gong Xin Yi suddenly yanked Leng Xi Yue's collar, ripping it open in his forcefulness, exposing her fair shoulder.
"Ah, what are you doing?" Leng Xi Yue screamed, quickly covering her exposed right shoulder.
A flicker of panic crossed Gong Xin Yi's face, and he hastily withdrew his hand.
But in an instant, he coldly added, "What are you screaming for, as if you haven't been seen before?"
What? Leng Xi Yue's eyes widened.
Why would Gong Xin Yi say that? Could he have recognized her?
No, she can't let Gong Xin Yi recognize her, and even if he does, she must never admit it. Otherwise, if Gong Xin Yi learns about the existence of the six adorable tots, he will definitely fight her for custody.
Purposely saying, "Yes, for a man like you, who gets whatever he wants, what woman haven't you seen? What part haven't you seen?"
"Woman, what are you talking about?" Gong Xin Yi's icy gaze fixed on Leng Xi Yue.
The air turned so cold it could freeze, and Leng Xi Yue, unable to stand the chill, adjusted her collar and reached for the doorknob again.
"Trying to escape again?" Gong Xin Yi gripped her wrist tightly, "Confess, who have you been seducing these four years?"
He had recognized her, after all!
Leng Xi Yue took a sharp intake of breath, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the events of four years ago, loudly protesting, "Are you sick? What's this about four or five years? You've got the wrong person! I've never seen you before!"
Mistaken identity? Could he really have made a mistake?
Gong Xin Yi released his grip, his gaze becoming distant as if lost in deep memories.
Seizing the moment, Leng Xi Yue quickly opened the door of the private room and dashed out.
Wang Li, noticing Leng Xi Yue clutching her collar, was shocked. Could it be that Gong Xin Yi preferred force over consent? Disliking those who offered themselves willingly?
Chen Yu, seeing Leng Xi Yue's torn collar, was even more surprised. How had their master ended up like this?
"Stop right there!" Gong Xin Yi strode out after her.
Leng Xi Yue stood by Wang Li, boldly stating, "Stop me for what? I have work to do, no time to bicker with you!"
Pointing at her torn dress, she said angrily, "This dress was new, worn for the first time today, and you ruined it. You have to pay for it!"
"Pay for it?" Gong Xin Yi smirked, pointing at a bottle of wine just delivered by a waiter, "Drink this, and I'll pay for your dress."
"Mr. Gong..." Chen Yu was shocked, that wine was a treasure Gong Xin Yi had hoarded for years, worth millions for a bottle.
Drink an entire bottle? Leng Xi Yue's eyes widened. She couldn't handle alcohol; if she could, the incident four years ago wouldn't have happened.
"Sorry, I don't drink!" Leng Xi Yue firmly refused.
Don't drink? Gong Xin Yi narrowed his cold eyes, remembering that four years ago, this woman could indeed drink.
"You don't have to drink, give me a foot massage instead, and I'll compensate you for the dress."
A foot massage? Does he think I'm a foot masseuse? I'm here to be a mermaid.
Leng Xi Yue waved her hand, "Forget it, I don't need compensation for the dress!"
She wouldn't give this man a foot massage, not in a million years.
"Sister Wang, let's go to work," Leng Xi Yue said, linking arms with Wang Li.
Seeing Gong Xin Yi's icy demeanor, Wang Li didn't dare to take Leng Xi Yue away. Gently pushing her hand away, she forced a smile, "Your job is right here, tonight is Mr. Gong's private event."
Ah? Leng Xi Yue regretted her decision, realizing she might not be able to avoid this after all.
Gong Xin Yi glanced at the time, asking coldly, "When does the mermaid performance start?"
"Right away, I'll take the mermaid to change now," Wang Li said, quickly leading Leng Xi Yue into the changing room.
Dressed as a mermaid, Leng Xi Yue admired herself in the mirror, thinking how beautiful she looked. If her six little tots saw her, they'd be ecstatic.
"Sister Wang, can I take a photo of myself?" Leng Xi Yue couldn't wait to capture her current look to show her children at home.
"You'll be photographed once you're in the water," Wang Li said, opening the back door of the changing room.
The back door led directly to the mermaid pool.
"The performance lasts two hours with only a ten-minute break in between. Can you handle it?" Wang Li asked.
"Yes," Leng Xi Yue confidently replied.
Even if she couldn't, she had to. With 500 bucks, she could stretch it to feed her six children for three days. Without this money, her little tots would go hungry tomorrow.
