How Much Do You Think Your Gratitude Is Worth?

Wen Ting’er never expected Li Shengxia to expose her almost immediately.

Yin Tangyi’s face was so pale it was as if he had seen a ghost!

Li Shengxia picked up a shard of broken glass from the floor and smashed it on the ground. She looked coldly at Yin Tangyi. “This brings an end to the matter today, I won’t trouble you about it anymore. From here on, it’s over between you and me, just like this broken glass!”

The sound of cracking glass continued to rattle on and on.

Li Shengxia walked away in high heels.

Mo Nianchen walked by her side, holding her by the waist.

The shattered pieces of the broken glass reflected the light shining on from the chandelier above.

It appeared as if the two of them were walking across the milky way. It was a beautiful sight to see, utterly enchanting… A truly beautiful couple, made for each other.

A proper engagement party had turned into a complete joke!

Yin Tangyi held his head low. He did not bother looking at the couple’s silhouette. He could still feel the sound of crackling glass echoing in his ears.

She was now the majestic maiden soaring in the skies above, while he was utterly defeated, a pitiful sight.

Qiu Haitang had never expected her attempt at saving face would lead to things turning out like this. Not only had she lost face, but the Yin family and even the Wen family had also suffered the same humiliation!

Wen Ting’er tried to approach Yin Tangyi but was coldly pushed away… He took out the engagement ring on his finger and tossed it out the window into the sea…

“Tangyi, Ting’er did this for me, for our Yin family. You can’t just walk away like this!”

However, Tangyi turned a deaf ear to her remark and walked the opposite direction from where Li Shengxia went—

The other side.

Li Shengxia was not sure how long she had been walking, her entire body was freezing cold.

During the entire duration of their walk, Mo Nianchen never let go of his hand on her waist. At this point, he had been doing it for so long that she had given up trying to resist.

As she finally managed to calm herself down, she seemed to have suddenly recalled something and pushed him away.

Countless luxurious yachts were parking themselves at the dock.

Just last night, she was trying to find a way to get on the yacht, she had thought it would change her fate.

The sea breeze still blew the same way it did yesterday, as it always had, but she was far worse off than she was last night.

Things were officially, completely over between her and Yin Tangyi, and she was stuck with a devil like Mo Nianchen!

“You bankrupted the Wen family? Why?”

He answered frankly, “If you still have lingering feelings for that man, then it will be the Yin family next.”

“You’re telling me you did this for me?”

“She’s too annoying, I don’t want to see her prancing about like a clown in front of me again. Are you satisfied with that answer?”

“Of course, what’s most important is that the crown prince is happy.”

“And yet there’s a certain somebody who doesn’t want to see me happy.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Yeah right.” It was hard to tell if he was smiling. When he thought back about the way she looked at Yin Tangyi, his voice became unbelievably cold.

When Li Shengxia thought about Mo Nianchen’s harsh methods, she figured it would be wise to not provoke him. She promptly announced, “Thanks for standing up for me, I’ll be leaving.”

“You want to run away after taking advantage of me?” his expression remained unsmiling as he yanked her back. “How much do you think your gratitude is worth?”

He had metamorphosized from a king back to the demon again!

What else could she do if she could not get away? Stay here and suffer his torture? She had witnessed the true power of the crown prince, in just a short instant the Wen family was bankrupted! She could not afford the wrath of such a man, it was better to stay as far away as possible!

He did not even give her a chance to speak. “Your father’s company is waist-deep in debt, and you are still trying to accumulate funds for your father’s expensive operation. You’ve lost your contingency plan in Yin Tangyi and your stepmother can’t wait to marry you off to some seventy-year-old geezer. As a last resort, you come to me and try to use the breakup fee to remedy the situation and hold off the marriage.”

This was the first time he said so much to her, every single word out of his mouth was right on target, completely exposing her.

All her built-up emotions culminated into three frightening words. “You investigated me?”

He chuckled coldly. “Do I even need to investigate these things? There is nothing I don’t know, not unless I choose to actively avoid it.”

“Since you know all about it, then why don’t you play the part of the good guy to the end and give me the breakup fee. Every single woman who had been with you had gotten theirs after all.”

As long as she could get the breakup fee, there was a sliver of hope. The amount of money that would serve as a lifeline for her was barely worth considering for him!

However, he only responded icily, “I’ve said this before, we don’t talk about the breakup fee. Also, give up the cheque from just now.”

How did he suddenly remember the cheque!

“You’re not telling me that you want it?” Li Shengxia was shocked, he had more money than he will ever need, so why was he being so insistent?

He saw the cheque she was clutching in her hands and snatched and tossed it away indifferently.

At this moment, the yacht crew member just happened to pass by. She picked up the cheque of a hefty sum and was flabbergasted at the amount. “Crown… crown prince, you dropped your cheque.

“Piss off—” was all Mo Nianchen had to say!

The man did not know what to do. “Cr.. crown… cheque…”

“Finders keepers, now get out of my sight—” Mo Nianchen shot a sharp, piercing gaze!

“You… Are you serious? I… I’ll go now, right away…” the man was appalled, he quickly got out as fast as he could, fearing that Mo Nianchen was going to change his mind.

The other people on the deck who saw the cheque immediately trailed after as well, they did not want to be counted out!

In an instant, the deck was completely vacated.

“That’s mine! Hey! All of you, stop!” Shengxia shouted at the crowd who had their backs turned to her! How would they possibly listen to her?

Mo Nianchen directed her attention back to him with a cold statement. “From now on, you are not allowed to take money from other men.”

“Why can’t you give it to me if you don’t want it!” Li Shengxia became extremely frustrated, he knew she needed the money!

“Do you think you could have gotten the cheque if it wasn’t for me showing up?” what he meant to say was, he was the one who obtained the cheque. It was up to him to decide what to do with it.

What an impulsive demon! She knew that he would never do anything out of goodwill!

Shengxia clenched her fist. Seeing as he knew about her situation but decided to throw away the cheque nonetheless, he must have had other motives.

“What are you planning?” she confronted him directly.

He quickly spat out his intentions, “Keep playing the part!”

Li Shengxia felt her body shudder all over when she heard that, she looked at Mo Nianchen in disbelief. “You want me to marry you?”

He was a good fifteen centimeters taller than she was. Even with her ten centimeters high heels on she was still a good bit shorter. At this moment, she was looking up at him.

He was a devilishly handsome man. He was as evil as the devil and shared the same icy temperament. As far as she was concerned, the most common expression she had seen on that face was that of jest. It seemed like the only time he could ever get pleasure out of his boring life was when he could get to see hints of crack and despair appearing on her face.

“Don’t hold yourself in such high regard, it’s just that my grandfather is waiting for the day he gets to hold his grandson in his arms.”

His voice came out like a song, but to her it was nightmarish.

She exclaimed without a second thought, “I am not having a child with you!”
