A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

Jiang Ye listened to her "clearly marked price" and "segmented pricing" remarks, and three black lines appeared on his forehead.

Girl, you're incredibly thin!

This price is incredibly comprehensive! They've even come up with a plan for future expansion of the harem?

"However, Jiang Ye, let me make this clear in advance. One million a month is the minimum requirement for you to start the 'Ye Cheng line'."

Ye Cheng glanced at him and scoffed, "Until you succeed, no matter how much money you give me or how expensive your gifts are, I'll accept them without hesitation. It's like venture capital; you're investing in the future. If you fail to deliver on your promise, I won't refund your initial investment!"

Looking into her clear yet slightly playful eyes, Jiang Ye felt reassured.

He gave an "OK" sign, full of confidence: "No problem. If things continue at this pace, you'll be back to normal in two or three months, or even a month or two."

Ye Cheng rolled her eyes at him disdainfully: "You flirtatious little pervert!"

The two chatted as they ate, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Jiang Ye, recalling their earlier conversation, asked curiously, "Chengcheng..."

Ye Cheng shuddered at the cheesy address: "Stop! Speak properly! You're giving me goosebumps!"

"Speaking of which... if I had listened to what you said and transferred 100,000 yuan to you directly, what would have happened then?"

"Then I'm yours! You can do whatever you want to me, my sugar daddy~"

"what?"

Jiang Ye immediately slammed his fist into his palm, his face full of frustration: "Damn it!"

"What? You've changed your mind? You can still do it now."

Seeing his regretful expression, Ye Cheng couldn't help but chuckle: "But we have to agree on this: different prices, different requirements. If you only give me 100,000, I'll demand the same standards as the 'Pure Love Exclusive Edition.' You have to be completely devoted to me, with only me in your eyes and heart. If I find out you've taken advantage of me and still dare to mess around outside..."

She picked up the knife and slashed it fiercely at the air, her eyes gleaming: "You know what I mean!"

Jiang Ye looked at the gleaming blade and felt a sudden chill on his inner thigh, instinctively clenching his legs together.

"Well... can I give you 100,000 to experience the 'pure love version' first, and then upgrade to the 'million-dollar harem version' in two months?"

Ye Cheng shook her head firmly: "No way! You're dreaming! There's no such thing as a free lunch. Either you get it right the first time, or you honestly start saving money! You think you can switch gears halfway? No way!"

Seeing Jiang Ye's face instantly fall into a grimace, she smiled and leaned closer, lowering her voice:

"What? After hearing this, did you feel like your heart was being scratched by a cat and couldn't help it? Actually... trying the pure love route is not bad. At worst, you can become a eunuch in the palace and I can work on a sewing machine. We can be considered a different kind of mutual journey."

Jiang Ye: "..."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I think I can bear with it a little longer."

Seeing his discomfiture, Ye Cheng smiled, feeling quite pleased.

She licked her lips, kicked off her right ankle boot, found Jiang Ye's calf under the table, and gently rubbed against it.

Jiang Ye was drinking water when her sudden action startled him, and he almost choked.

He quickly put down his water glass and lowered his voice, "Damn it! Ye Cheng, what are you doing? This is a public place!"

Ye Cheng blinked, her face innocent: "Nothing much? Just being nice to my sugar daddy~ Aren't you guys supposed to like this kind of... um... 'secrets under the table' plot?"

As she spoke, her movements under the table continued:

"What? You can't hold back anymore? If you can't, just tell me. There are hotels in the mall anyway. As long as you nod and promise to only be good to me from now on, I'll believe you."

Jiang Ye: "..."

Oh shit!

Despite my high moral standards, strong moral principles, and honest and reliable qualities, this woman still managed to discover them!

He watched as the woman across from him made some shady moves under the table while nonchalantly eating her salad, acting as if she had him completely under her thumb. A surge of lust rose within him.

Jiang Ye steeled his heart and, taking advantage of the moment when she looked down to drink her soup, reached his right hand under the table and grabbed her.

"Hey! You..."

Ye Cheng was caught off guard by his sudden counterattack and couldn't help but gasp. Her face flushed instantly, and she instinctively tried to pull back, but Jiang Ye held her tightly.

"Let go! Are you a pervert?! We're eating!"

Jiang Ye felt the delicate touch and slight struggle in his palm, rolled his eyes, and said, "You actually know we're eating? Did you even wash your hands before you put them here?"

However, since it was a public restaurant, he didn't dare to go too far and teased her a few times before letting go.

Ye Cheng quickly pulled her leg back, shoving it back into her boot, and began frantically cutting the steak on her plate, muttering under her breath, "Pervert...shameless..."

The two of them finished their Western meal amidst their bickering and flirtatious tussle.

After paying the bill and leaving the restaurant, I leisurely took the elevator downstairs and headed to the taxi waiting area at the mall entrance.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, its warmth gently caressing my skin.

Ye Cheng stretched lazily, turned to look at Jiang Ye, and smiled faintly—a smile that contained teasing, anticipation, and a hint of inexplicable seriousness.

"Jiang Ye, good luck!"

Her voice was exceptionally clear in the warm winter afternoon sun: "I'm just waiting for you to lead me to financial freedom and let me live a blissful life of collecting rent while I'm at ease."

Jiang Ye looked at her profile, its golden contours outlined by the sunlight, and nodded with a smile: "Sure, no problem. You keep it up too. Try to figure out a few new positions when you have time. I bet... you'll need them soon."

Ye Cheng gradually got used to his constant flirting, but she glared at him irritably and reached out to open the door of a taxi.

Just as she was about to get in, she paused, as if she had thought of something, then closed the car door, turned around and quickly walked back to Jiang Ye.

Under Jiang Ye's questioning gaze, Ye Cheng tiptoed and leaned close to his ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe:

"Honey~"

The reappearance of this title startled him slightly.

"If you really can't hold back... call me anytime. Actually... I'd really like to try a pure love story with you."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Ye's reaction, she quickly took a step back, looked at him who was clearly desperate but was forcing himself to stay in line for the "harem plan", smiled smugly, waved to him, and then opened the car door and got in.

"Master, Shengyin South Gate, thank you."

The taxi slowly started moving and merged into the traffic.

Jiang Ye stood there, watching the car disappear around the street corner. He subconsciously touched his ear, which still seemed to carry Ye Cheng's scent, and felt a surge of heat rising within him...

It's bigger now.
