Falling for the Contract Bride

Chapter 274 A Little Reluctant

Rao Man stopped speaking at last. Each step she took was strenuous, extremely difficult, and bitter for her. Her eyes were fixed on Mr. Xie Xiu.

But Xie Xiu just sat indifferently on a chair and stared at Rao Man. Rao Man’s mind kept playing back the memories she had with Mr. Xie Xiu in the past.

She used to be an orphan in a slum who made a living by stealing. She had met Xie Xiu when she was almost killed after stealing money from the casino. He had passed by the place by coincidence.

Rao Man had grabbed Xie Xiu’s hand and begged him at that time, “Save me, sir.”

Xie Xiu did not lend her a helping hand. He watched as those people caught up with her. They grabbed Rao Man, took off her clothes, and humiliated her.

Rao Man resisted with all her might and called out for help desperately. Then, Xie Xiu threw a gun at her.

Rao Man was a child back then. She didn’t even know how to use the gun. Rao Man held the loaded gun in her hands.

Xie Xiu told her, “I will take you away if you kill them.”

Gunshots were heard. Rao Man lost consciousness without successfully killing the two men.

When Rao Man woke up once more, she was already on the bed in a hotel. A warm blanket covered her, and there was hot coffee for her once she opened her eyes.

It was the first time she tasted hot coffee and fresh sandwiches, instead of having food dug out from the trash can that was mixed with stinking odors of other foods.

When she saw Xie Xiu, he was in a black coat. He stood tall by the door, looking like a God.

From that day onwards, Rao Man started to follow Xie Xiu everywhere he went.

Rao Man had told Xie Xiu on the first day he saved her, “You saved my life. I shall pay you back with my body.”

Xie Xiu had replied to her, “You can pay me with your body, but I will not accept you if you wanted to pay with your love.”

Just as promised, later, after Rao Man became an adult, he embraced her body at nights, but never accepted her love.

But it didn’t matter to her…
