13: Open your heart

Jiang Mengyuan, who had been violently thrown onto the bed, didn't feel the slightest bit of anger; instead, she felt a faint sense of excitement.

The rough man before her was completely different from the Cao Lang she had known before!

The old Cao Lang was timid and overcautious; he would steal glances at her, and his eyes would dart away whenever their gazes met.

Jiang Mengyuan had looked down on that kind of man from the bottom of her heart.

But the current Cao Lang was full of wildness and a desire to conquer, like an ambitious lion.

Jiang Mengyuan didn't know what had happened to cause such a massive contrast in this man.

She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to.

At this moment, she only wanted to fulfill her duty as a woman and serve the man she had chosen.

Cao Lang stripped off his shirt, revealing a solid chest. Seeing the girl on the bed with her shy eyelids lowered and her delicate body trembling slightly, the fire in his heart ignited once more.

"Regret it? If you regret it now, you still have a chance to go home and feed your cat."

Hearing this, Jiang Mengyuan's heart jolted. Her little schemes had long been seen through.

Where was the arrogance she once had? Playing smart in front of a Rich Brother was a dangerous game; the consequence of being exposed was being banished to the 'cold palace' forever.

Luckily, she had been given another chance. Anyone who wasn't a complete fool would know how to answer!

"Big brother, I was really wrong... Please forgive me, okay? I wasn't familiar with you yesterday, and I was afraid you were pretending to be a big shot just to trick me into bed..."

"I was almost scammed before. My ex-boyfriend rented a Ferrari to act like a rich guy, and after I exposed him, he even called me a gold-digger. Boohoo..."

The girl in front of him poured out her past without reservation, which moved Cao Lang slightly.

However, Cao Lang didn't step forward to comfort her like some 'warm guy.' Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed and listened to her speak quietly.

Jiang Mengyuan looked as if she were about to burst into tears, her fragrant shoulders twitching like a delicate peach blossom in a gale, evoking pity.

She laid out all her painful memories on a platter.

"Big brother, am I a gold-digger? Is it really wrong of me to just want a better life?"

"I used to hope for a beautiful love too, but men are all pigs; they try everything just to trick me into sleeping with them."

"I want to talk about feelings instead of money too. But in today's society, you can't move an inch without money."

"They keep saying men and women are equal, but is it really equal? Once I turn 40 and become a 'yellow-faced woman,' if I haven't secured a good way out for myself, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Jiang Mengyuan's crystal-clear tears flowed down her smooth cheeks as her pent-up grievances exploded.

She was still young, yet she had seen through the essence of things early on.

The pressure to survive in modern society was too great. Everything cost money; without money, don't even talk about feelings.

Besides, her figure outshone ninety-nine percent of women. Since God had given her these assets to live off of, why shouldn't she pursue a better life?

"I'm gratified that you can speak your heart like this. So, I want to ask you: did you approach me just because of money?" Cao Lang spoke up.

This was a trap question; any answer would have flaws!

It was just like a girlfriend asking: 'If your mother and I both fell into the water, who would you save?'

Jiang Mengyuan wiped her tears and said seriously, "Big brother, if it were purely for money, I could go find some old man. But I wouldn't be able to convince myself."

"But if it's Big Brother Cao Lang, I promise to love you with all my heart. You're so young, so handsome, and have such a bright future. How could I not love you?"

Cao Lang rubbed his chin. That was true; he had always been handsome.

It was just that his handsome radiance had been obscured by poverty.

Now that he had money, someone had finally discovered his merits!

"Let's play a game. For every merit of mine you name, I'll reward you with ten thousand yuan. How about it?" Cao Lang dotingly wiped away the beauty's tears, intending to continue teasing her.

"Big brother, you're the most handsome, you're the best, you have taste, patience, refinement, and perseverance. Every time you stole a glance at me, I was super happy. Big brother, I've actually liked you for a long time. Just give in to me tonight."

Jiang Mengyuan was like a humble female 'licker' now, racking her brains to scavenge every good word from her mind to praise Cao Lang.

Unfortunately, she didn't usually like reading and wasn't very cultured. It was impressive she could think of this many after pondering for so long.

Cao Lang counted on his fingers. She said five in total, so let's call it fifty thousand yuan.

As he spoke, he took out his phone and transferred fifty thousand yuan to Jiang Mengyuan.

[Ding! Consumption successful. System cashback: 100,000 yuan.]

Upon receiving the money, Jiang Mengyuan was completely invigorated. While fifty thousand wasn't a huge fortune, it was a lot to her!

In a comment section, fifty thousand might not seem like much.

But for Jiang Mengyuan, it was ten months' worth of salary without eating or drinking!

Fifty thousand yuan is four months of a delivery driver braving the wind and rain!

Fifty thousand yuan is two years of an old farmer toiling under the sun and wind!

Now, she got it just by praising Cao Lang. This money was way too easy to earn!

She loved it. It was just a pity she only said five things. She wondered if there would be more activities like this in the future; if so, she'd go back and memorize a dictionary of idioms to ensure she bankrupted Cao Lang!

Cao Lang looked at the excited Jiang Mengyuan and said with a smile, "Not enough? Want to play another game?"

Jiang Mengyuan nodded heavily.

"Yes! Let's play! I'll play whatever you want!"

"I want to hear you sing 'Conquered' while kneeling."

Cao Lang was almost embarrassed to say it.

This idea was so 'loser-ish,' the ultimate loser move!

Before Cao Lang could even finish his sentence, Jiang Mengyuan knelt directly on the bed. Her straight, rounded thighs were exceptionally eye-catching, but even more so were her eyes, tender as water, and her submissive expression!

"Just like this, I'm Conquered by you, all paths of retreat cut off~"

Cao Lang was stunned for a moment. He was just joking; she's actually singing?

It turns out that as long as you have money, a goddess really will kneel down and sing 'Conquered'!

The key was that Jiang Mengyuan actually sang it quite well?

Her high-pitched voice was melodious and pleasant, comparable to a professional singer!

This girl's body was top-tier, and her singing was so beautiful too.

Which window exactly did God close for her?

"Well sung! A reward!"

Cao Lang took his phone, asked for the girl's bank card number, and with a wave of his hand, transferred 500,000 yuan!

[Ding! Consumption successful. Cashback: 1,000,000 yuan.]

"Wow!!!"

Seeing the notification of the incoming funds, Jiang Mengyuan's heart surged like a crashing wave. She couldn't help but scream and gave Cao Lang a huge hug.

Money is hard to earn and pride is hard to swallow; it would take an ordinary person at least a dozen years of labor to save up five hundred thousand!

And now, Cao Lang had transferred it just by saying the word "reward"?!

Jiang Mengyuan was moved to a complete mess. Cao Lang's generosity had exceeded her mental boundaries and shattered her worldview.

Cao Lang gently stroked the beautiful back of the goddess in his arms, feeling quite emotional. He knew that from today on, the so-called 'goddess' had been completely disenchanted.

The only one who could still haunt his dreams was probably only that 'white moonlight' from high school.
