footsteps behind her growing closer and faster with every second.The hand that was clutching her phone suddenly went empty, the phone being pulled away from behind her. The next second, a chilling voi...One million might be alright, Luo Ningxi thought, maybe selling the fund could help raise some money.

Even a million wouldn't be enough, I would have to sell her whole person!

Li Boheng let out a long sigh, “My hometown is building a house. Two workers fell down, one died and the other was injured. The compensation plus the delay in construction time, the debt just kept rolling bigger and bigger, until it reached ten million.”

Luningxi stared, dumbfounded, at him.

Repairing a house is a happy thing, but to end up like this, it's too unlucky!

"So after all these years at sea, how much have you paid back, and how much do you still owe"

"I earn a lot and spend even more. Over the past few years, I've just about broken even!"

"You—" Luoningxi was exasperated, not knowing whether to sympathize with him or scold him.

While he was young and handsome, he didn't earn enough money to pay off his debts and indulge in consumerism. What will he do when he gets old and can't sell himself

In a fit of anger, Luo Ningxi left Li Bochen in the living room and went to the master bedroom to sleep beauty sleep. After thinking about it, she still locked her room door.

Who knows what that nasty duck might do to her at night when he gets a bad idea

Li Bochen lazily leaned against the sofa. Suddenly, he heard a click of a door being locked, and the smile on his lips vanished instantly.

Is this little rabbit, guarding against thieves

In the bedroom, Luoningxi comfortably lay back on the bed.

The configuration of Shengshi Hotel is great, with a king-size smart bed that even has a massage function, simulating multiple postures!

Before going to sleep, Lu Ningxi played with her phone. The phone screen reflected her red and swollen cheeks. Lu Ningxi couldn't help but be amazed at herself. With her current appearance, she was almost ugly beyond recognition. How could Da-Da even bear to look at her

In the living room, a faint scent of bath soap mingled with a crisp medicinal aroma, lingering in the air.

Li Bochen kept looking at the tightly shut bedroom door.

There's always a mischievous fire burning in my belly.

Before, I was content with a simple life, but ever since I started eating meat and got married, these physiological needs would occasionally arise. It’s the most primal desire of a healthy man, but when I think about the slap mark on Luo Ningxi's face, my complexion gradually darkens.

He wasn't sleepy. He got up and sent a WeChat message to his assistant, "Tell everyone to treat the Luo family well."

Since the Luo family is so uncultured, there's no need to be polite anymore.

……

As soon as Li Bocen's order was given, the Luo family was thrown into chaos.

All night, Luo Yi and Jiang Jingya sat in the living room, constantly receiving calls from business partners canceling their cooperation, or from banks demanding repayment of debts.

This put even more pressure on the already strained finances of the Luo family.

In just one short night, Lu Yi was exhausted and his whole being seemed to have aged several years.

"Dad! I thought about it all night, the contract is in black and white, now Shengshi has broken the contract, we can sue them for breach of contract!" Luo Zhiqin went downstairs and sat down beside Jiang Jingya.

Luo Yi saw Luo Zhiqin's anger was inexplicable, and he was even less polite. "The breach of contract fee is only a few dollars Besides, Shengshi has an entire team of top global lawyers. Suing them would be time-consuming and costly. The Luo family could be dragged down, and they might not even get the breach of contract fee."

"Then we were just tricked by Shengshi for nothing"

"You still have the face to say something If you weren't so greedy and wanted to be in charge, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"

Luo Yi's reprimand fell, Jiang Jingya hurriedly comforted, "The solution is thought up by people. As long as we find Luo Ningxi to apologize to Mr. Mo, everything can still turn around. Honey, please calm down..."

Luo Yi rubbed his aching temples, didn't speak. Just then, Luo Zhiqin's phone rang. After answering it, her face turned grim—

"Dad, Mom, Chengnan said that Loning Xi has been found! At Shengshi Hotel!"

……

At Shengshi Hotel, Loning Xi slept soundly.

Standing before the sink, she saw that most of the swelling on her face had gone down. There was only a slight sting whenever she accidentally touched the wounds.

Li Bochen appeared out of nowhere, leaning lazily against the door frame and glancing inside. "It's not as bad as I thought."

"This ointment works pretty well." Loningxi met Li Bichen's gaze through the mirror and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"What would you like for breakfast I'll have it sent up." Li Boche asked.

Luo Ningxi waved his hand and said, "We're already using the internal super low discount price, and it's embarrassing to ask the hotel staff to help us. Let's go down and eat ourselves later. We can choose from a wider variety of noodles too..."

"Suit yourself."

Luo Ningxi washed her face, applied some ointment, and didn't put on any makeup. She went to the free restaurant on the first floor with Li Bochen, looking plain.of them "bicker playfully", her heart pounding in her chest. She was done for, she had... blown smoke up her own skirt too much."Nan Shao, you remember me, right She... Su Qiao, she takes advantage o...
