The Apple of the Ruthless CEO s Eye: My Sweet Wife Is so Adorable - Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Qiao Mu was seriously about to cry. She did not know that Li Yan was such a shameless person, to the point that he would bicker with an innocent young woman over such a matter!

If it was not for that fact that she really needed money right now, she would not even engage in this conversation with him. She would definitely throw 300 RMB on the bed in a generous manner before turning and leaving gloriously.

But… even queens had to bend their backs every now and then. There was no helping it. She happened to desperately need money at the moment.

Qiao Mu naturally knew that 3,000,000 RMB was only a small sum to Li Yan. So why was he doing this to her?

She suddenly had an idea. Qiao Mu smiled and said, “Uncle, don’t tell me that… you have fallen in love with me, and that everything that happened yesterday was part of your plan. You deliberately set things up so that I entered the private lounge you were in, and you asked the man to make things difficult for me and drug me. You then pretended to come to my rescue so that I am indebted to you, and this way, you can make me mine. Am I right?”

Li Yan’s expression was as cold as ever while the young woman sitting on the bed looked cunningly at him like a little fox.

The emotions in Li Yan’s profound dark eyes could not be deciphered. He said slowly, “What if I say that you’re right?”

‘What?’

Qiao Mu froze. She was just trying to turn the tables so that she seemed like she had been taken advantage of. She was merely making things up. She did not expect him to admit to it.

Qiao Mu quickly tried to come up with a reply. This was when Li Yan said, “You have an overactive imagination.”

He was leaning against the wall with his hands crossed in front of his chest. He appeared calm as he looked at her. “If I wanted you, I could have made you mine the night you entered my room in the cruise ship. Why would I need to set you up?”

What Li Yan had just said was a great insult to Qiao Mu. She had taken the initiative to enter Li Yan’s room but managed to leave unscathed the following day. For God’s sake, she was a woman. This was not even the main point. The main point was that Li Yan had said in disdain that he was not interested in underage bodies!

Since he was not interested in her, why was he so full of lust last night?

Alright, this was merely her imagination. Qiao Mu did not actually remember what had happened. She only knew that her whole body was aching.

Qiao Mu balled up her fists. “Uncle, if other people find out that you had s*x with your niece, your precious reputation would be destroyed. Give me 300,000 RMB, and I will keep quiet about it. This isn’t too large a sum, is it?”

‘She’s talking about money again!

‘Why is she so crazy about money!?’

Li Yan pursed his lips, and the aura he emanated was icy. “You don’t seem like an intelligent person. You’re talking about keeping your mouth shut, right? Are you trying to threaten me or yourself? I wouldn’t mind at all if you complain to your stepmother that her cousin had f*cked you. If you want, I can even talk to her on your behalf.”

Qiao Mu was rendered speechless, and her face was contorted. She felt as if she had just dug a hole for herself.

If Yu Tingyun found out about what had happened between her and Li Yan, this stepmother of hers would have something against her. Things definitely would not end well.

Qiao Mu chuckled to make the atmosphere less awkward. Why did none of her threats work on him!?

Li Yan lowered his gaze to look at her. “The Qiao family pays for your living expenses and university fees. What do you need 300,000 RMB for?”

Qiao Mu’s head was lowered, and she sounded a little upset. “I want to buy luxury goods. Qiao Ya has a lot of branded clothes, handbags and jewelry. I’m really envious.”
