Chapter 1461: Capítulo 1461: Chapter 1462: Did You Ask the Victim's Opinion?

There’s a QR code on the table; Lu Zhenzhen scanned it with her own phone and handed it to Nan Jiaojiao, letting her order the food.

She herself took out a pack of lady’s cigarettes, pulled out one and lit it, holding it between her fingers, taking frequent drags.

After Nan Jiaojiao had finished ordering, she caught a glimpse of Gao Zhe’s new message, straightforwardly transferring a huge sum of money.

She handed the phone back to Lu Zhenzhen and asked, “Why are you smoking again?”

“What?” Lu Zhenzhen glanced at the cigarette in her hand. “Just felt like smoking, so I did.”

“Then give me one, too.”

Lu Zhenzhen frowned immediately, “What does a kid need with cigarettes!”

She tossed the half-pack of cigarettes into the sofa, and extinguished the one she’d taken a couple of drags from.

Nan Jiaojiao clicked her tongue, saying, “Such a downfall, you slept with someone, and now you’re all depressed. Did you consider the victim’s opinion?”

Lu Zhenzhen didn’t like her choice of words, correcting her, “That was prostitution; I prostituted Gao Zhe, I paid him for it!”

Nan Jiaojiao gasped, choked on her words, “Did he accept the money for it?”

“He did!”

“You guys… play quite the game.”

Lu Zhenzhen was indeed gloomy; that night was just a spur-of-the-moment act fueled by impulse. She hasn’t seen much of the world, and growing up with Gao Zhe had skewed her aesthetics to his type, unable to break free from it. She felt that any man other than him was just ordinary, not to mention sleeping with them—she had no physical or emotional reaction, she just liked him.

He’s such a tease! He should’ve just applied the ointment, what was the need to seduce?

She suggested sleeping together, and he didn’t refuse.

When dawn broke, she regretted it.

Gao Zhe hadn’t left yet, lying sideways next to her, not hugging but facing her. She couldn’t tell how long he’d been awake; when Lu Zhenzhen opened her eyes, she couldn’t see any trace of drowsiness in his.

He calmly and collectedly waited for her to speak first.

Lu Zhenzhen got annoyed immediately, grabbing a coat to wrap around herself, and took all the cash from her wallet. After thinking it over, she stuffed it back and pulled out a card.

She said it was the money for the transaction and told Gao Zhe not to take last night’s affair seriously; she just had a need and wasn’t used to new people, so she found him, an old acquaintance, to resolve it.

Gao Zhe stared at her for a long time, saying nothing, took the card, and only asked, “Can I take a shower here before I leave?”

Lu Zhenzhen furrowed her brows, “Go to the guest room.”

He gave a faint smile, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

After Gao Zhe left, Lu Zhenzhen angrily sat by the bed, she was supposed to be the one in control, yet somehow felt fiercely handled by Gao Zhe. The more she thought about it, the more irritated she got, pulling her hair a few times, she listened to the noise outside, aware that Gao Zhe left, closing the door quietly, Lu Zhenzhen took a shower herself, changed clothes, and left.

She had the housekeeper come and clean up, threw out all the sheets, and disposed of the toiletries in both the master and guest rooms.

For the next two days, she didn’t return to that apartment but stayed in another one much further away.

Gao Zhe must’ve checked the card’s balance, for two consecutive days, he transferred money to her in multiples, without saying a word or explaining its meaning.

Lu Zhenzhen didn’t accept it, so he kept transferring.

When Nan Jiaojiao handed the phone back, her fingers slipped, tapping accept, and she looked at the screen stunned for a moment. Then she clicked her tongue, tossed the phone aside, not caring about it.

After hotpot, Lu Zhenzhen wasn’t ready to let go, dragging Nan Jiaojiao to the bar.

A few shots of white brandy down, Lu Zhenzhen felt out of sorts, couldn’t steady her steps, and when someone came to invite her, she took off her coat and slid into the dance floor with them.
