350: Chapter 350 Are you crazy? Asking a bathhouse attendant for money? - 1

Inside the bathroom, the mist was dense.

Jiang Shuang was wrapped in a white bath towel that barely covered her vital parts. Her wet hair clung to her cheeks, and water droplets slid down her collarbone, disappearing into the cleavage at the edge of the towel.

Jiang Ye's gaze swept quickly over her, from her exposed rounded shoulders to her straight, slender calves, finally settling on her face:

“Miss, may I ask why you called me in here?”

Jiang Shuang was choked up by his businesslike tone and couldn't help but roll her eyes: “To scrub my back! Why else would I call you in?”

“Scrub your back?”

Jiang Ye's gaze roamed over her again, and he curled his lip: “Why are you wrapped in a towel if you want a back scrub? Are you asking me to scrub the back of your feet?”

“...”

Jiang Shuang's breath hitched. Tired of beating around the bush, she decided to get straight to the point: “Jiang Ye, stop playing dumb. I'm asking you, do you like me?”

“I do.”

Jiang Ye didn't hesitate for a second and nodded decisively: “Jiang Shuang, I love you. I love you deeply, hopelessly. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were my destiny...”

Jiang Shuang: “...”

Her eyelid twitched violently. She almost lost her composure and quickly raised a hand to interrupt his obviously insincere nonsense:

“Since... cough, since you say you like me, then I won't beat around the bush either. You know what I mean, and I know you're not lacking for women; it's impossible for you to be with me forever. So, as a girl giving her most precious youth to you, shouldn't you... show some appreciation?”

Jiang Ye's gaze sized Jiang Shuang up and down again, and he smacked his lips.

Truth be told, back in school he never had the chance to look closely; he really had underestimated her a bit.

This woman was tall and elegant, with a slender waist and long legs. She had curves in all the right places, and her skin was fair; the silhouette under the bath towel was quite enticing.

He felt that even if her charm score didn't reach 80, it had to be at least 75. She was the type who would be very eye-catching if placed naked in a crowd.

Hmm...

It seemed like anyone placed naked in a crowd would be pretty eye-catching...

“Fine, you're being direct, so I won't dawdle either.”

He smacked his lips, putting on a 'why didn't you say so sooner' expression: “Name a price. How do you want me to 'show my appreciation'?”

Jiang Shuang was instantly delighted, as if she could already hear the sound of gold coins dropping into her pocket.

As expected!

Men are all creatures of their lower halves. This guy seemed difficult to handle, but he still couldn't hold back!

She suppressed the upward curve of her lips, trying hard to make her smile seem less mercenary:

“Jiang Ye, I know you're very rich now. But your wealth is your business; I, Jiang Shuang, am not a greedy person. I only want the 'youth compensation fee' that I deserve. We were classmates after all and have known each other for so long; I definitely wouldn't scam you.”

“Give me a break!”

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes, ruthlessly exposing her: “You're clearly laying the groundwork to scam me. Can we get some sincerity here?”

Jiang Shuang's mouth twitched, feeling a bit annoyed by his retort: “Oh! You're so annoying! Fine, fine, I'll stop beating around the bush!”

She took a deep breath and slowly extended her right hand, spreading her thumb and index finger to gesture an 'eight':

“Per month... this amount, okay?”

After saying that, she stared intently at Jiang Ye, bracing herself for an intense round of bargaining.

To her surprise, Jiang Ye just glanced at her gesture and agreed exceptionally readily: “Sure, let's go with what you said. Eighty thousand it is.”

“!!!”

Jiang Shuang was stunned. She looked down at the 'eight' she had gestured, then looked up at Jiang Ye's nonchalant face, her heart instantly flooded with immense joy.

Oh my god!

Eighty thousand! Eighty thousand a month!

This guy didn't even haggle? For real?!

Is my market value this high now? Worth eighty thousand? That can't be right!

Is he even richer than I imagined? Or has he just lost his mind to lust?

A series of thoughts exploded in her mind. She quickly struck while the iron was hot, leaning in two steps closer and breathing softly like an orchid:

“Jiang Ye, then you... just send it to me on WeChat. Remember to write 'voluntary unconditional gift' in the remarks. Um... transfer 52,000 first, then two transfers of 13,140. The remaining thousand or so can be my treat for dinner, okay?”

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow.

Voluntary remarks, romantic numbers, multiple transfers...

Damn, she's professional. It looks like she's studied relevant legal cases quite a bit.

“Oh... so I have to give the money first?”

“Of course! Otherwise... otherwise how can I feel at ease giving my most precious thing to you?”

“No way. We don't have any relationship right now. If I transfer the money the way you said and you turn around and deny it, what then? Who would I even complain to?”

“Oh, how could you think that?”

Jiang Shuang hurriedly pledged her loyalty, her tone incredibly sincere: “You're so good to me, how could I possibly go back on my word? Am I that kind of person?”

Jiang Ye shook his head, his 'logic genius' mode back online: “See, since I'm so good to you, why are you still asking me for money?”

“Uh...”

Jiang Shuang was momentarily speechless, unable to keep up with his rhythm: “But... but if you don't transfer it to me first, as a girl, I won't feel secure. How can I feel at ease being... with you?”

Jiang Ye spread his hands: “I'm so good to you, why don't you trust me? Am I that kind of person?”

“...”

Jiang Shuang was getting dizzy from the circular logic and could only stick to her bottom line: “I... I trust you! But as a girl, I need some security, right? It's about being responsible to myself!”

“Oh, you want security?”

Jiang Ye seemed swayed and sighed 'reluctantly': “Fine, seeing how sincere you are. How about this, I'll transfer you 50 first to show my sincerity. That should be enough, right?”

Jiang Shuang: “...”

50 yuan?

Are you freaking treating me like a beggar?!

She felt like she was about to have a heart attack and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Playing word games and logical debates with this guy was purely self-inflicted humiliation.

“Fine, fine, I can't out-argue you.”

She decided to take a step back and try another approach: “Then how about this, Jiang Ye. As long as you can prove to me that you truly have the financial power and aren't just talking big, I'll believe you! I'm willing to take the first step, okay? This is my maximum concession!”

Jiang Ye let out an 'oh,' seemingly finding this request reasonable: “Prove my financial power? Sure, that's easy.”

He scratched his head, fished his phone out of his pocket, unlocked it, opened WeChat, and then showed the balance screen to Jiang Shuang.

The next second, the expression on Jiang Shuang's face instantly froze.

The long string of numbers on the screen was simply too overwhelming for a budding gold-digger like her, who had just entered society, was still struggling for a few thousand yuan in salary, and dreamed of jumping social classes through a 'shortcut.'

A WeChat wallet balance of over 2 million!

And that wasn't even counting what was in his Alipay or bank cards!

This guy... this guy was a real tycoon!
