Chapter 73 Winning Over Xu Yuan
Chapter 73 Winning Over Xu Yuan
"Hmm..."
Huang Tian felt a little dizzy and his throat was dry.
A typical hangover symptom.
Huang Tian frowned, closed his eyes and tried to turn over, but his arm touched a soft, warm body.
The texture is wrong!
Huang Tian instantly regained consciousness and abruptly opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is an unfamiliar ceiling.
Huang Tian stiffly turned his head to look at his side.
A delicate profile, long eyelashes, rosy lips, chestnut hair scattered on the pillow, and an exaggeratedly hot body.
It's not Qiao Xinran, it's Xu Yuan!
Last night's fragmented memories began to replay one by one.
Hot pot, McCree, Qiao Xinran fell asleep after confessing her feelings while drunk, and he and Xu Yuan continued drinking, then he got drunk first...
His last clear memory was of him pushing open a door, thinking he was going back to Hu Yixin's place, and then...
Huang Tian lifted a corner of the blanket, revealing that neither of them was wearing clothes.
Seeing Xu Yuan's fair and sexy body, Huang Tian's temples throbbed.
Damn, this time we've really messed up!
Huang Tian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Although Xu Yuan's eyes were closed, her eyelids were trembling slightly, and her breathing was not as steady as that of someone who is sound asleep.
It was obvious that Xu Yuan was pretending to be asleep.
Huang Tian cursed inwardly, "This is troublesome."
If Xu Yuan were a naive and innocent young girl, he might have been able to use excuses like being drunk and having sex to cover it up.
But judging from our interaction last night, this girl is definitely not simple.
He has a high alcohol tolerance, knows how to handle things, and his eyes reveal shrewdness and ambition.
More importantly, she is Qiao Xinran's best friend.
Huang Tian was wondering how to start the conversation when the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
"Xu Yuan, you've seen Mr. Huang..."
Qiao Xinran stood at the door, holding a glass of water in her hand, her eyes wide open, the color draining from her face at a visible speed, and her voice abruptly stopped.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
In the bedroom, Huang Tian and Xu Yuan lay on the bed, the blankets only covering their chests.
Their exposed shoulders and arms clearly showed that neither of them was wearing clothes.
Qiao Xinran stood there dumbfounded, her hand holding the water glass trembling slightly.
Huang Tian met Qiao Xinran's incredulous gaze and was about to say something.
A water glass fell to the ground, scattering shards of glass everywhere.
The sudden noise startled Xu Yuan, who was pretending to be asleep.
Xu Yuan pretended to have just woken up, rubbed her eyes, and looked towards the door.
"slowly?"
Xu Yuan's voice was hoarse from just waking up, and her acting was so natural that Huang Tian wanted to applaud her.
"You...you all..."
Qiao Xinran's voice trembled violently, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Xu Yuan, how...how could you..."
Xu Yuan sat up blankly, the blanket slipped down, revealing her full upper body. She seemed to realize what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, quickly pulling the blanket up to cover herself.
"Ranran, let me explain..."
"Explain what?!"
Qiao Xinran's voice suddenly rose, tinged with aggrieved sobs.
"You even gave me advice yesterday, saying you'd help me get him drunk, but you ended up..."
She was initially touched and naively grateful, but little did she know that her best friend had ulterior motives all along.
"What's going on here?"
Huang Tian knew he couldn't avoid this, so he picked up his pants from the bedside and put them on.
Xu Yuan glanced at it subconsciously, then blushed and turned her head to look in the other direction.
"Xinran, I'm sorry."
Huang Tian's voice was calm, but it carried a sincere apology.
"I drank too much last night and went into the wrong room. It was my fault and has nothing to do with Xu Yuan."
"Wrong room?"
Qiao Xinran sneered, "Even if you're completely drunk, you shouldn't be so confused about the living room and the bedroom, right?"
Huang Tian fell silent; the excuse was indeed rather clumsy.
Xu Yuan hadn't expected Huang Tian to take all the blame on her, and she bit her lip.
"Ranran, it's true. Mr. Huang drank too much last night. I thought it was you, so I didn't resist. By the time I realized it was you, it was already..."
"That's enough!"
Qiao Xinran interrupted her, tears streaming down her face.
"Xu Yuan, I considered you my best friend, I told you everything... and this is how you treat me?"
Xu Yuan lowered her head and remained silent.
The atmosphere in the bedroom was so oppressive it was suffocating.
Huang Tian rubbed his temples, deciding to cut to the chase quickly.
This matter must be resolved immediately.
"Let's talk."
Huang Tian ignored the irrational Qiao Xinran and turned to look at Xu Yuan, whose expression was complicated.
"Okay, go ahead."
A hint of nervousness, and a barely perceptible hint of anticipation, flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes.
"What happened last night, regardless of whose fault it was, has already occurred."
Huang Tian looked at Xu Yuan and said slowly, "I'm not the kind of irresponsible man. Since things have come to this, I will give you an explanation."
"Okay, let me first tell you what I can offer."
"First, I'll give you 10 yuan a month as pocket money, starting today."
Qiao Xinran lost her temper and was somewhat shocked by the condition.
A monthly income of 10 yuan would amount to 120 million yuan a year.
They work themselves to the bone, yet they earn less than 2 yuan a month.
But if you follow Huang Tian, you can easily earn 10 yuan every month.
Xu Yuan's eyes lit up, and she almost agreed on the spot.
"Secondly, I will buy you a large apartment of about 200 square meters in Guangzhou and put it in your name. However, it won't be paid in full. I will pay the down payment first, and I will pay the loan."
Xu Yuan's breathing became more and more rapid, and Qiao Xinran's face became somewhat blank.
Keep in mind, this is Guangzhou!
Even the cheapest large single-level apartment starts at 500 million.
So what if it's a loan? They don't have to pay it back.
"Third, I will buy you a car, around 50 yuan, and I will pay in full and put it in your name."
Looking at Xu Yuan, whose face was filled with barely concealed excitement, Huang Tian immediately felt reassured.
"But let me make this clear first: if you accept these things, it means you accept the fact that I have more than one woman, and you can't make unreasonable demands in the future."
Xu Yuan stared blankly at Huang Tian, her mind buzzing.
10 per month…
A large single-level apartment of 200 square meters...
A car worth 50...
These are things that Xu Yuan never dared to dream of before.
Her parents run a small shop in their hometown, and she has a younger brother who is in high school. She sends half of her salary back home every month.
While being a nurse offers job security, buying a house and settling down in Guangzhou is practically a pipe dream.
That's why she's been desperately making videos, even at the risk of pushing the boundaries, hoping to make a comeback through social media.
But the conditions Huang Tian is offering now will allow her to skip twenty years of hard work.
No, at least thirty years!
As for Huang Tian having other women around him, isn't that obvious?
With such outstanding qualities, it would be strange if he didn't have women around him.
"I...I do!"
Xu Yuan answered almost without hesitation.
After she finished speaking, Xu Yuan realized that she had acted too hastily.
Although her face was still a little red, her eyes remained firm.
Such an opportunity, if missed, may never come again.
What's more, she's already gone all in.
Now, the reward has finally been satisfactory.
Xu Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse, and even secretly rejoiced that she had won the gamble!
