Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Trying Something New

Just today, fifty billion, and she already felt like she was about to die.

Although it hadn’t happened often, it always lasted long, and the type was extremely aggressive!

She let out a cold laugh, "Alright! Then let’s calculate daily, a hundred billion a day, I wonder if you’ll be the one who can’t handle it or me!"

She didn’t believe this guy was made of iron.

As the old saying goes, there’s only the ox that dies from exhaustion, never the land that gets ruined from tilling!

Chen Xiao sneered dismissively, "How about it? Starting today?"

"After I rest for a day, you’ll know how to write the word ’regret’." Lu Ruge’s face froze, coldly glaring at Chen Xiao, she hurriedly put on her clothes and limped out of the room.

In the end, she chickened out.

Chen Xiao chuckled too, a hundred billion a day to recover?

She really dared to dream.

He worried she might faint and end up in the hospital.

However, today he did manage to vent some of his pent-up frustration on Lu Ruge, which considerably lifted his spirits, so he decided not to bicker with this woman anymore.

Downstairs, Lu Ruge found Zhang Yaqing elegantly crossing her legs sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup in her hand.

"Yo, sister, that’s all you’ve got?"

Seeing the mocking expression on Zhang Yaqing’s face, Lu Ruge’s face turned sullen, "Who’s your sister? You’ve chosen to wallow with that kind of scum, I’m not like you, Lu Ruge."

"What’s the difference?" Zhang Yaqing chuckled, "Isn’t it all about spreading your legs and enjoying it?"

"Oh, I forgot, you’re not in it for pleasure, you’re paying for your arrogance."

"Seeing you like this, that guy probably wasn’t very gentle with you, was he?"

"Tsk tsk."

"What a pity."

Lu Ruge fell silent, sweeping a cold gaze over Zhang Yaqing before sitting down on the sofa.

Although earlier, Chen Xiao had repeatedly caused her momentary confusion and breakdowns in rationality, once she regained her senses, she was left with only pain and humiliation.

Zhang Yaqing continued to tease, "I heard your little chat earlier, thinking of making a hundred billion a day, aren’t you afraid of ending up unconscious in the hospital?"

"But, you’ll probably get used to it quickly."

She patted Lu Ruge on the shoulder and whispered in her ear.

"You look tired, let me help you tidy up the sheets."

"Don’t you dare!" Lu Ruge stood up immediately, thinking about the marks on the sheets being seen by Zhang Yaqing and not knowing how long she’d be ridiculed for it.

Suppressing the pain, she made her way upstairs.

"Back again?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Already eager to make some earnings?"

"Get lost!" Lu Ruge aggressively grabbed the bedsheet with one swipe.

The glaring red mark on the sheet and the lingering scent of hormones reminded her of the scenes from earlier, filling her with both disgrace and shame.

How could she let herself... in that situation, even...

She sighed, it was so embarrassing.

Chen Xiao smirked playfully, "What? Want to keep it as a souvenir?"

"I’ll consider it my lifelong disgrace," Lu Ruge said coldly, "One day, I’ll make you pay double!"

Chen Xiao nodded with a smile, "Alright, when the time comes, you can trample me all you want, repay double, if you can get me two hundred billion a day, I wouldn’t mind."

Lu Ruge was so infuriated her face turned crimson, shooting him a fierce glance before turning to leave.

"Oh, by the way."

Chen Xiao suddenly called out, "If you want to repay the debt, remember to come up with some new tricks to entertain me, otherwise, I have the right to terminate our deal at any time!"

Lu Ruge glared frostily, "What kind of new tricks are you talking about?"

"That’s up to you," Chen Xiao shrugged indifferently, "The decision on what tricks to play is in your hands, while the decision to make the Lu Family suffer loss is in mine."

"As long as I’m not pleased, I’ll go and take a cut from the Lu Family in the stock market."

"Shameless." Lu Ruge’s chest heaved with fury as she stormed out of the room, yet once back in her own room, she started pondering how to get a hundred billion back from Chen Xiao tomorrow? What new tricks to play?

Her head was throbbing.

This money... truly hard to earn.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao, feeling bored, turned on his phone, finding no messages on it.

Over the past few days, Xu Yanran had been reporting the situation in Fragrant City to him daily.

However, there hadn’t been any today.

He had a general understanding of the developments over there—

Currently, Leng Baiyu and Xu Yanran had already obtained the exact information about the Mermaid’s Tears.

Mermaid’s Tears would be sold at an auction.

This auction was a high-end private one requiring an invitation to enter. The collectors and buyers were all top-tier individuals from various countries.

The most important thing was, the time and place of this auction hadn’t been set yet.

The transaction time and location were very clandestine!

Even Leng Baiyu and Xu Yanran, the involved parties, knew very little about this auction now.

While he was lost in thought, Zhang Yaqing, wearing a thin garment and looking alluring, walked in, closing the door behind her.

"Why do you look half-alive?" Zhang Yaqing said with an amused expression, "Had fun just now, did you? The scent is still lingering in the air."

Chen Xiao pulled her in, a smile curving his lips, "Don’t you know my stamina by now? Do you really think she could make me satisfied?"

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Zhang Yaqing.

Zhang Yaqing slapped his hand away, "Enough, I don’t want her leftovers! Besides, with your current capacity, you can’t really fulfill any beauty treatments for me."

"I’m here to talk about something else."

"What is it?" Chen Xiao asked casually, though his hands didn’t stop moving.

Zhang Yaqing suppressed a breathy voice, "My grandfather and father want to meet you. Since we’re considered boyfriend and girlfriend now, shouldn’t you meet the family?"

Chen Xiao’s face showed some awkwardness, "Can I not?"

Zhang Yaqing smiled coyly, "Sure! But, today my mom came back from the Capital City, she’s set up a meeting for me with a noble family heir. If you don’t come, I might just run off with him."

"After all, my mom is pretty proud. Back in the day, she didn’t even think much of the Zhang Family, she went off to the Capital City to make a name. When I told her about you, she thought you were a country bumpkin."

"If you can’t win her approval, I’ll only be able to marry someone else. Then I’ll have to sneak back to meet you to reminisce, while making calls to my husband on the side..."

"Fine, fine, fine, I’ll go meet them, happy?"

Even though Chen Xiao knew Zhang Yaqing was joking.

But she had put it that way, how could he not go?

Besides, having taken their daughter, he ought to make some gesture.

"See? You’re much better this way," Zhang Yaqing’s crescent-moon eyes smiled, giving him a peck on the cheek, "Hurry up and get changed."
