At this point, the parents of Xie Xiaoyu had nothing more to say; after all, they couldn't just say in front of their daughter that they didn't trust her, could they? That would hurt their daughter's self-esteem so much.

Meanwhile, Xie Xiaoyu herself could only give a wry smile; 7.8 million, she figured she might never be able to pay it back in her lifetime.

If she couldn't pay it back, then what did that make her, living in the house bought by Liu Wentian? What was she?

A kept woman??

When Xie Xiaoyu thought of this term, she felt her face burning up.

In the days that followed, Xie Xiaoyu's parents were even more enthusiastic towards Liu Wentian, so much so that it was a bit too much for him.

The way they looked at him, it was as if they were looking at their future son-in-law.

Perhaps in their minds, they had already decided that Liu Wentian was fond of their daughter; otherwise, why would he have gifted them a property?

Finally, after barely getting through dinner, Liu Wentian remembered his car was still parked at the roadside and tried to take his leave, but Mr. Xie, in his enthusiasm, insisted he stay for another two hours or so.

In the end, Mr. Xie even suggested that Liu Wentian should join them for dinner that evening, which gave him quite a scare.

Thankfully, Xie Xiaoyu came to his rescue, saying Liu Wentian had pressing matters to attend to that night and not to hold him up.

Only then did Mr. Xie let Liu Wentian go, and Mrs. Xie repeated her instructions a thousand times over, urging him to visit more often when he and Xie Xiaoyu were free.

Their intention couldn't have been more obvious.

Xie Xiaoyu walked Liu Wentian out and, with a blush and eyes cast down in apology, said, "Liu Wentian, I'm sorry, my parents are just like that, a bit too enthusiastic at times."

"Not at all, I think your parents are pretty great," Liu Wentian laughed and said.

Xie Xiaoyu's face lit up with a smile, relieved that Liu Wentian wasn't put off by her parents; then she quickly composed herself and said earnestly, "Liu Wentian, thank you for buying this house for me. I've dreamed of having my own place in Shenming City. But don't worry, I will definitely pay you back!!"

Xie Xiaoyu had come to understand that Liu Wentian, as a second-generation rich kid who especially went to be a bodyguard for Bai Ruguo, was obviously after the swan-like Bai Ruguo. How could he possibly have any thoughts of wanting her or keeping her?

His actions today stemmed from nothing more than sympathy!!

Therefore, she was determined to repay the money!!

She didn't want to accept charity from others, especially not from Liu Wentian, the man for whom she had begun to develop feelings!!

Seeing the stubborn look on Xie Xiaoyu's face, Liu Wentian didn't object and smiled as he said, "Alright, then I'll wait for you to pay me back. I believe you'll have the money to do so."

As he said this, an idea suddenly struck him, and he added, "Oh, by the way, Tiange Group is about to launch a new line of beauty and skincare products and is planning an advertisement that records the skin changes of the users during the trial. Are you interested in being one of these trial users? It would definitely benefit you; you'd get a nice sum for the ad, and it would improve your skin."

Xie Xiaoyu wasn't lacking in looks; it was just her skin that wasn't great, plus she wore unfashionable black-framed glasses and was low in self-confidence.

She'd be a good candidate for this trial, and Liu Wentian believed that after using the beauty products he had developed and undergoing the makeover packaged by Tiange Group, Xie Xiaoyu would surely undergo a great transformation.

The advertisement that would result from this before-and-after comparison would certainly be very effective.

"When you say my skin would improve, how much better are we talking? Could it be like Bai Ruguo's?"

Xie Xiaoyu seemed more interested in the potential improvement of her skin than the fee for the ad, her voice carrying a rare tone of competitiveness, especially when she mentioned Bai Ruguo.

Liu Wentian didn't understand why she brought up Bai Ruguo, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, it can be!!"

The product for the trial users was the same as the finished bottle he had given to Li He; hence, the effect should be much better than the mass-produced version that would follow, and it indeed had the potential to make Xie Xiaoyu's skin as delicate, fair, and flawless as Bai Ruguo's.

"Alright, then I'll go," Xie Xiaoyu said decisively.

"Sure," Liu Wentian replied with a smile. He called Li He on the spot and told Xie Xiaoyu she could go directly to Tiange Group to find her in the next couple of days.

When Liu Wentian had gone, Xie Xiaoyu watched his retreating figure and fell silent for a long time before murmuring, "Liu Wentian, if one day I become as beautiful as Bai Ruguo, would you like me then?"

...

In the evening, after sending Bai Ruguo home, Liu Wentian received a call from Zi Qing as he was on his way home.

Zi Qing had already enrolled in Class 7, Senior 1 at Shenming Middle School the day before yesterday; around this time, it should be when the school lets out.

Liu Wentian was a bit puzzled. Was this girl really calling him to come pick her up??

When he answered the phone, what he heard was Zi Qing's somewhat aggrieved voice.

"Liu Wentian, brother, are you very busy?? Do you have any time??"

Liu Wentian laughed helplessly and said, "Qingqing, why be so formal with me?? Just tell your brother Liu Wentian directly if there's anything."

"Mhm."

Zi Qing replied shyly, then said with grievance, "Brother Liu Wentian, someone is blocking me outside and won't let me go home. Can you come and pick me up??"

Liu Wentian was stunned for a moment, then a trace of anger appeared on his face. Zi Qing was a gentle and reserved girl, not the type to stir up trouble. Moreover, it was only her second day at Shenming High. It was impossible for her to have any conflicts with anyone so soon.

It seemed someone was deliberately causing her trouble!!

"Qingqing, what exactly happened?? Who is blocking you, and why are they doing that? Tell me everything clearly," Liu Wentian said, suppressing his anger.

Next, Zi Qing recounted the whole incident to him.

It was a rich second-generation guy from school. The first time he saw her yesterday, he wanted to pursue her as his girlfriend.

She rejected him yesterday, and today he intensified his efforts, blocking her at the school gate, saying that if she didn't accept him, he wouldn't let her go home.

Liu Wentian was furious upon hearing this. This harassment was now targeting his own people!!

"Qingqing, wait for me in the school. I'm coming right now!!"

After saying this, Liu Wentian hung up the phone, slammed on the accelerator, and rushed towards Shenming High.

......

Shenming High.

Class 7, Senior Year.

Zi Qing, in her school uniform, looked even more innocent and lovely. After listening to Liu Wentian's somewhat angry words, she heard the dial tone from the other end of the phone.

Clearly, Liu Wentian had already hung up and was on his way.

Seeing how much Liu Wentian cared for her, Zi Qing felt a burst of sweetness, with a faint blush on her small face.

A short-haired girl next to her with an oval face, pretty features, almond-shaped eyes, rosy cheeks, and a tall figure, half a head taller than Zi Qing, smiled teasingly at the sight of Zi Qing's bashful expression.

She then hugged the blushing Zi Qing and said with a giggle, "Little Qingqing, why are you smiling so happily?? Is it because my love rival is about to arrive?? Hmph, I'm going to have a good look at this seducer!!"

When Zi Qing heard her words, her face turned even redder, and she protested, "Mengmeng, what are you talking about?? What seducer, that sounds terrible. If Brother Liu Wentian hears it, he'll get the wrong idea."

"So what if he misunderstands, I'm not afraid of him," the short-haired girl said with a pout, and then she reached for Zi Qing.

"No way, Qingqing, I can't take it. You're about to be snatched away, I need to enjoy this first, come let me rub it!!"

Zi Qing jumped in shock, hurriedly dodged, and said helplessly with a flushed face, "Mengmeng, can you not be so lewd? If you want to rub, go rub your own."

The short-haired girl proudly arched her chest. She was tall and her nose was high, her eyes bright and expressive, she looked very charming, but her chest area was completely flat, there was nothing there...

She was at least half a head taller than Zi Qing, probably around 173cm. It seemed all her nutrition went into growing tall...

This made her appear like an oversized child.

"If I had any, I would've been rubbing them myself already. All that papaya milk tea every day and still nothing, it really frustrates the hell out of me!!" The short-haired girl complained with a tone of utter dissatisfaction.

Seeing the other girl fret over this again, Zi Qing couldn't help but laugh softly, then said anxiously, "Mengmeng, what if that Xue Kai does something crazy when Brother Liu Wentian arrives??"

She knew Liu Wentian was very skilled, but Xue Kai's family was wealthy and powerful, and she couldn't help worrying that Liu Wentian might be at a disadvantage.

"If even Liu Wentian can't handle Xue Kai, then I don't think he's worthy of my little Qingqing," said the short-haired girl, her eyes filled with anticipation, seemingly imagining what would happen when Liu Wentian encountered Xue Kai.

"I think I'll just go to the school gate and wait for Brother Liu Wentian. If Xue Kai dares to act up, I... I will fight it out with him!!" Zi Qing's innocent face showed determination.
