Chapter 1278 - Asking for a Fee
Xuan Ying walked over, standing in front of Xia Ling. “Lingling.”
He called her name with a gentle voice.
But Xia Ling remained impassive. “Silver Mask King, what’s the matter?”
When she called him Silver Mask King, she created a distance between herself and Xuan Ying, wanting to push him even further away.
Xuan Ying wasn’t planning to hide it from her since she would eventually find out about his identity.
“Lingling, about last night–”
“Last night was just an accident, I’ve forgotten about it all,” Xia Ling interrupted him.
Xuan Ying pursed his lips, dejected once he heard her. He knew it, she wouldn’t acknowledge it once she got a grip over herself.
She didn’t have that sort of money!
“Why do I need to pay you? I don’t have the money!” Xia Ling’s face turned red from anger.
Xuan Ying was in a good mood seeing her so helpless, she was much cuter than when she treated him coldly just now. “You’re not going to pay me even after using me? Fine, I’ll call the police.”
He whipped out his cell phone.
“Hey, Xuan Ying!” Xia Ling instantly pulled his hand, not allowing him to make the call.
She didn’t want to be arrested. What would happen to Mu Mu if she was arrested?
Xuan Ying looked at her with narrowed eyes. “Sign this IOU. If you don’t want to sign it, you have another way out.”
“What’s the other way?”
“Sleep with me once more and I’ll write it off.”
What kind of shameless talk was that? Xia Ling immediately picked up the pencil, placing her signature on the IOU. “Are you happy now? Satisfied?”
Dark eyes seemed to spark in anger as she glared at him. She knew it, he wasn’t going to stop pestering her!
Xuan Ying folded the IOU, keeping it in his pocket with elegant movements. “I’ll be waiting for you to pay me.”
With that said, he strode away.
Xia Ling could only stomp her feet as she watched him leave.
…
During the weekend. As promised, Xia Ling took Mu Mu to the amusement park and had a good meal as they spent some quality time together. Late in the afternoon, Xia Ling held Mu Mu’s hand as they walked towards the bus stop.
Beep! A luxury limousine stopped in front of them.
The window wound down and Concubine Yu looked at Xia Ling and Mu Mu. “Xiaoling, Mu Mu, get in. We can take you home.”
Xia Ling politely rejected her, “Madam, thank you for your kind intentions, but we can just take the bus.”
Concubine Yu pretended to be offended. “Xiaoling, are you treating me as a stranger?”
Meanwhile, Mu Mu hugged Xia Ling’s calf, looking up adoringly. “Mommy, my legs are tired from all the walking. Can we take Granny’s car?”
“…”
What could Xia Ling in response?
“We’ll have to trouble you then.”
Pulling open the car door, Xia Ling boarded the limousine with Mu Mu.
…
In the limousine.
Mu Mu was incredibly well-mannered when she greeted Concubine Yu. “Hello, Grandma.”
“Hello.” Concubine Yu took Mu Mu in her arms, doting on her. “What a good girl.”
Mu Mu wore a gray teddy bear coat, her hair pulled into two braids. With those puffy cheeks and big eyes, she was adorable.
Xia Ling noticed that other than Concubine Yu and Auntie Su, there was someone else in the limousine.
It was Xuan Ying. He sat in a corner and having taken off his black coat, he only wore a gray turtleneck and black long pants. The limousine was spacious and he stretched his long legs out casually, charming as ever.
