Mr. Liang, you mustn't covet other people's fiancées!

"Whoosh!"

Wen Li picked up the water on the table and splashed it all over Liang Chaoxu's face.

Liang Chaoxu was dumbfounded.

Wen Li slammed down her water glass, pointed to the door, and said in a cold voice, "Despite repeated reminders, you still knowingly violated the rules. Mr. Liang, you should leave now."

Liang Chaoxu wiped the water off his face, both amused and exasperated: "Wen Li, I'm not an immoral person. He Yanxi isn't my fiancée either."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Wen Li slowly lowered her arm, turned around somewhat awkwardly, and said with a lack of confidence, "You can't act like a hooligan. I... did the right thing by splashing this water."

"I acted like a hooligan?" Liang Chaoxu put his hand on the table, leaned over to look at Wen Li, and his tone was full of the implication of settling scores.

"That night at the villa, you kept promising to take responsibility for me. But what happened? Afterwards, you started denying everything when you lifted up your skirt. You're the one who's being a scoundrel."

Wen Li's ears burned, and she turned to Liang Chaoxu, trying to argue, "It's a matter between adults, it's consensual. Besides, you did it on purpose..."

Wen Li couldn't bring herself to say what came next. Liang Chaoxu had been deliberately teasing her that night, first by seducing her relentlessly, then by waking her up and down, until she agreed to take responsibility, at which point he truly got involved.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he took advantage of someone's vulnerability!

"What did you mean by 'deliberately'?" Liang Chaoxu reached out and pulled Wen Li close, his voice low and menacing. "Taking advantage of someone in distress?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Wen Li looked away, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at him, and softly hummed in agreement.

Liang Chaoxu lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head with a deep look in his eyes: "Alright, I admit it, I took advantage of someone in distress. So now I'm going to collect the debt, and I hope Miss Wen will be aware of that."

"Huh?" Wen Li turned to look at him, her eyes full of confusion. "Chasing after a debt?"

"Hmm," Liang Chaoxu raised an eyebrow, "You have two ways to repay your debts."

Wen Li felt a sudden unease: "What?"

"The first one," Liang Chaoxu said, his smile fading as he became serious and his tone becoming extremely solemn.

"We've confirmed our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and plan to date and get married normally."

Wen Li's pupils contracted sharply, and she froze in shock.

Liang Chaoxu continued, "The second one, do it again, and then we're even."

The two choices were like bombs dropped on her, leaving Wen Li's mind buzzing and unable to recover for a long time.

Liang Chaoxu looked down at the stunned Wen Li and asked slowly, "Which one do you choose?"

Wen Li was lost in thought, her heart filled with a turbulent storm, her mind in turmoil.

He had called Liang Chaoxu "little uncle" for five years. Although they were not related by blood, he had always treated him with the respect due to an elder for the past five years.

Now he says he wants to be my boyfriend and even wants to get married. Isn't that immoral and immoral?

Besides, she had a previous engagement with his nephew. If she were to confirm her relationship with him again, her reputation in the industry might be ruined.

As the saying goes, public opinion can be a fearsome thing. Wen Li just wants to make money and doesn't want to get involved in anything else.

After much thought, only a clean break seemed like the most reliable option. With that in mind, Wen Li answered seriously, "I choose option two."

Liang Chaoxu stared intently into Wen Li's eyes, his expression complex. Only after confirming that this was a choice she had made after careful consideration did he slowly nod: "Okay."

Wen Li felt flustered under his gaze, and nervously swallowed before speaking: "It's a deal, after this once, we'll be even."

Liang Chaoxu took a deep breath, slowly straightened up, straightened his slightly damp collar, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Don't worry, I'm a person of my word, and I'm not the kind of person who pesters others relentlessly."

Wen Li kept a close eye on Liang Chaoxu's every move. Seeing him reach for his tie, she subconsciously took two steps to the side: "Are you going to do it tonight?"

Liang Chaoxu paused, looked up at Wen Li, and subconsciously softened his voice: "I won't. You were frightened today, I'm not that much of a beast."

Wen Li nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Come here, let me apply the medicine for you." Liang Chaoxu picked up the ointment again. "Rest well after you're done applying the medicine."

"Myself..."

"I would eat people?"

Liang Chaoxu interrupted Wen Li, his gaze intense.

Wen Li pursed her lips and remained silent.

Liang Chaoxu saw through Wen Li's thoughts at a glance, took the medicine and walked over to her, patiently explaining as he applied the medicine to her.

"I bit your ear and collarbone that night because the atmosphere was right. I don't eat people."

That night, Liang Chaoxu was afraid of hurting her or frightening her, so he was very restrained throughout.

"That's not what I meant." Wen Li blushed, her almond-shaped eyes filled with an eagerness to explain as she looked at Liang Chaoxu.

Even though she was inexperienced in matters of the heart, she wasn't stupid enough to think he would actually eat people.

She refused to help simply because she didn't want to get entangled with him any further.

"Trying to reject me again?" Liang Chaoxu changed the cotton swab, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

"I'm curious, why can you accept Jiang You's help so readily, yet repeatedly refuse me? Is it just because he's your senior?"

Wen Li shook her head: "No, that's not it."

Liang Chaoxu raised an eyebrow: "Then why?"

"My attitude towards you is the same." The blush on Wen Li's face gradually faded, and her expression returned to its usual coldness. "I reject you, and I reject him too."

"You're quite fair in dealing with everyone." Liang Chaoxu's face showed little joy.

Because he knew that Wen Li's actions showed that in her heart he was just like everyone else, insignificant.

This is not a happy thing; in fact, it makes him a little sad right now.

They had just finalized their agreement once, and now they were completely even. He knew all too well that, given Wen Li's personality, she could really make them go back to being complete strangers.

Liang Chaoxu sighed inwardly and said softly, "I'll tell you when I've figured out the specific repayment time. Just focus on your work and life and don't worry about it."

Wen Li glanced at Liang Chaoxu and caught a glimpse of the desolation in his eyes. She quickly looked away, pretending not to notice, and said, "Okay."

Liang Chaoxu threw the used cotton swabs into the trash can, and while tidying up the ointment, asked, "What time do you usually get off work?"

Wen Li was about to speak when Liang Chaoxu interrupted her again: "I'm just asking for a time; I won't be picking you up."

"Around 6:30," Wen Li replied.

Liang Chaoxu nodded and walked towards the door: "I'm leaving now. Remember to lock the door before you go to bed tonight. There are property management staff on duty in your community at night. If you need anything, call their manager, Manager Zhang."

"Okay." Wen Li glanced at his damp hair and casually handed him two tissues: "Dry your hair, it's snowing heavily outside."

"I'm leaving." Liang Chaoxu took the paper, opened the door, and left.

Wen Li locked the door, and suddenly realized what was happening the moment she turned around.

How did he know that the property manager of this community was surnamed Zhang?
