Who was he kidding?
There were dozens of paintings on show today, and together, they were worth ten million at least!
Su Xiaomo was baffled. “Why do you need so many paintings?”
“I’m taking them home so that Cuddlie can have some fun tearing them to pieces,” said He Jiayu indifferently.
Shangguan Qing pointed at him with a trembling finger. “You, you… you’re showing off!”
“So?” He Jiayu raised an eyebrow. “It’s my money and none of your business.”
Su Xiaomo felt her knees buckling.
Aaah! She could kneel down at Cutie He’s feet this very moment!
He was so hot and overbearing today!
Lord Jiayu, you have the spirit of a giant today!
A staff member then brought out a POS machine and swiped He Jiayu’s card in disbelief. He didn’t even remember how he got back to his office after that.
Wow… Someone had actually just paid ten million in one go!
Humiliated, Shangguan Qing was at a loss over what to say. His face turned red, then paled, and he glared at Su Xiaomo. “I can buy them for you too, if you want!”
“Heh.” He Jiayu chuckled. “Sure. I can sell them all to you right now. Do you want them?”
That shut Shangguan Qing up immediately.
There was no way he could get that much money off the cuff.
“Since you know she’s a married woman now, no matter what happened between the two of you in the past, the least you can do now is respect her choice.” He Jiayu checked his watch for the time, then said, “Let’s go, honey.”
Su Xiaomo put her arm through his. Shangguan Qing opened his mouth and tried to say something, but she slid her hand across her neck in a threatening manner. “Say one word and you’re dead!”
Shangguan Qing gave up right away.
After the couple left the gallery, he touched his face, feeling like he had just been slapped hard.
What a fiasco!
Next to him, the staff member was still giggling. “Gosh… the commission from this will be worth ten years of my salary…”
Shangguan Qing snapped, “So what if he’s rich?! I can smell a stupid upstart when I see one! Hmph!”
The staff member said in surprise, “You don’t know who he is? He used to be a big star who earned eight figures a year, and he has his own properties and companies as well. It’s just that he switched to becoming a doctor. He’s quite low-key that way…”
Shangguan Qing felt his face hurt even more.

Once they were back at home, He Jiayu escorted Su Xiaomo into the bathroom, filled the bathtub, and tossed her in.
“Aaah —” Su Xiaomo shrieked. “It’s cold! You used cold water!”
He Jiayu cleared his throat in embarrassment, refilled it with hot water, and pressed her down. His eyes seemed to turn darker as he asked, “Speak. What’s your relationship with that man?”
Su Xiaomo put up a last-ditch fight. “He’s just an old friend. We lost touch a long time ago!”
He Jiayu smiled a little. Despite his gentle appearance, what he did was relentless. He tore Su Xiaomo’s clothes off with one move.
“Are you telling me or not?”
“This… this is domestic violence!” Su Xiaomo said timidly. “I’m telling you, I’m gonna hate you for the rest of my life if you lay one finger on me! You do realize that one day when you’re old and sick, I’m the one who’ll decide whether to keep on with your treatment or take you off life support!”
He Jiayu ground his teeth. “I see you’ve planned it all out! Although… why do you think I’m going to hit you?”
“What?” Su Xiaomo was baffled. He Jiayu went on in an unhurried voice, “In the novels you read all the time, isn’t there an expression ‘only once a night, but it lasts all night long’? Hm? Do you want to try it?”
“Try it…”
Here…?!
Holy shit!
Su Xiaomo surrendered right away. “I’ll tell you! Cutie, I’ll tell you everything!”
