At the start, I had to choose one of four options, and I immediately picked the Brahmin from the cou

Upon hearing the system notification in his mind, Li Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, and the smile on his lips became even more amused.

Seeing him smile, Manman assumed it was because she had served him well, and pressed herself against him even more eagerly, her red lips close to his ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Brother Li, what are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?"

"Nothing much, I just think the weather is really nice tonight."

"The weather... is nice?"

Manman blinked, somewhat bewildered. This seemingly random question left her completely confused. They were in a private room; what was this "weather" nonsense?

But she didn't need to delve into the logic behind the rich young man's words. She immediately followed suit with a sweet laugh, snuggling closer to Li Xiao's chest. "Brother Li said it's a nice day, so the stars outside must be especially bright."

Li Xiao was amused by her shameless yet perfectly flattering words, and casually pinched her delicate and smooth cheek, which made the beauty in his arms let out another coquettish sigh.

He didn't explain anything to Manman.

With a slight thought, Li Xiao glanced at the system panel in his mind, which only he could see. Including the newbie gift pack, he now had accumulated 250 happiness points.

Although it's still unknown what amazing, life-altering items can be redeemed in the system shop, the joy of getting something for free without paying any price is certainly invigorating.

On the other side, Zheng Hao had completely let loose, hugging two hot girls, shaking the dice cup, and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Five sixes! Open! Hahaha, you lost, drink, drink, drink!"

The private room was filled with his carefree, maniacal laughter and the girls' coquettish urging to drink.

Just as the atmosphere was reaching its climax, there was a light knock on the door of the private room, and Manager Wang walked in with a bow and a forced smile.

Behind him followed a girl in a white dress, with long, straight black hair, dressed exactly like Su Wan who had just been kicked out.

"Young Master Li, that guy just now really didn't know his manners and spoiled your fun. How about this one? He's also from the art academy, but he's guaranteed to be obedient and sensible."

Having worked in this industry for many years, he thought he had a good grasp of these young masters' temperaments. The fact that Li Xiao had chosen Su Wan earlier meant that he liked this kind of pure and innocent type. He only drove Su Wan away because she was uncooperative. He was sure that a similar sensible girl would be more appealing.

Unfortunately, Manager Wang's attempt to flatter backfired this time.

Li Xiao didn't even glance at her. "Manager Wang, do you think this place is a junkyard? Is it really necessary to pull the same trick twice?"

"broken!"

Manager Wang broke out in a cold sweat. He knew he had misread the image, so he quickly explained.

"Oh, Mr. Li, please calm down. I was being presumptuous and lacked common sense! I'll let her go right now and she won't be in your way!"

After saying that, he quickly led the girl in the white dress and slunk away.

Seeing this, Manman was secretly delighted.

Now that this young master Li only has her by his side, as long as she serves him well, she will definitely receive plenty of benefits.

After several rounds of drinks, the air in the private room became increasingly hot.

Li Xiao glanced at the vintage-style clock on the wall and felt that it was ready.

He patted Manman's leg, stood up, and said, "Alright, Rat, you can keep messing around here. I'm going to rest in the suite on the second floor."

"Alright, Brother Li, a night of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold. You get some rest, see you tomorrow!" Zheng Hao, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, peeked out from the embrace of the beautiful woman beside him and waved. Then he turned and started drinking with the woman next to him again.

Upon hearing that they were going to the second floor, Manman immediately and obediently took Li Xiao's arm, leaning most of her weight on him, her full curves brushing against Li Xiao's arm with each step.

When Li Xiao pushed open the heavy, soundproof door of the private room, he paused slightly.

Under the dim, ambiguous corridor lights, Su Wan, who had just been ruthlessly driven away by him, hadn't left.

She leaned alone against the corridor wall. When she heard the door of the private room open, she looked up abruptly. A glimmer of hope flashed in her tear-filled eyes, but it instantly dimmed when she saw Li Xiao's indifferent face.

Li Xiao merely glanced at her indifferently before looking away without any further reaction.

Manman naturally saw Su Wan as well. Her red lips curled slightly, and a hint of undisguised smugness and disdain flashed in her eyes.

She deliberately pressed her voluptuous figure even closer to Li Xiao, "Oh my, isn't this Little Wan? What are you still standing here for? Are you waiting for Manager Wang to settle your travel expenses?"

Su Wan bit her bloodless lower lip, ignoring Manman's sarcastic remarks.

She seemed to be going through a huge internal struggle, then suddenly took a step forward and stared intently at Li Xiao.

"Brother Li... I... I didn't mean it just now. Please give me another chance. I'll do anything..."

"What, do you think I look like a living bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings? Since you've come this far, if you want to make this quick money, don't pretend to be virtuous and disgust people."

Su Wan's face turned ashen. Li Xiao's merciless words were like a resounding slap, shattering her last shred of pitiful self-esteem.

She finally understood that in this young master Li's eyes, tears and suffering were the cheapest things, and he didn't buy into that at all.

But she really needed the money. Her iPhone and Hermes bags, which she had bought with loans, were about to be overdue. The two thousand yuan for travel expenses would not be enough to help, so she had to stay.

Instead of tugging at Li Xiao's sleeve, she knelt down on the thick carpeted floor of the corridor right in front of Manman.

"This is a transaction with a clearly marked price."

She raised her head, her voice still trembling, but the previous arrogance and hesitation were gone. "Young Master Li, I've thought it through. I won't play the victim, nor will I try to appear virtuous. Tonight... I'll do whatever you ask, even like a dog. I will never spoil your fun again."

A brief silence fell over the corridor. Manman covered her red lips, a hint of surprise and deep apprehension flashing in her eyes.

Looking down at Su Wan, who was kneeling at his feet, having completely abandoned all pretense and dignity, Li Xiao found her utterly tamed by reality and willing to submit to money far more pleasing to the eye than her previous innocent and virtuous demeanor.

"If you had shown this attitude earlier, you wouldn't have been kicked out just now."

He didn't reach out to help her; he simply straightened his cuffs casually, turned around, and strode towards the private elevator on the second floor.

"Now that you know the rules, follow me." A cold voice echoed in the corridor. "But let me make this clear: if you still find me boring once we're upstairs, you won't even have a chance to leave."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan trembled and hurriedly scrambled to her feet. "Thank you, Brother Li, I understand."

She didn't bother to wipe the tears from her face and stumbled after him.

Manman gritted her teeth. She hadn't expected that even at this crucial moment, this slut would still manage to get close to her. However, she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. She could only quickly sway her slender waist to catch up with Li Xiao and, with a coquettish smile, take his other arm.
