Chapter 398: Chapter 398: You’ve Already Hit, What More Do You Want?

Chu Huan saw his brother’s reaction and burst out laughing. He had never seen his brother so nervous about anyone before. Deny it all he wants, but his brother is such a fool.

Chu Lian ran to the restroom door and yelled anxiously, "Hey, why aren’t you coming out? Did you fall in?"

Inside, Wang Xiangxiang was startled by his words. She had just finished using the restroom and hadn’t left yet, thinking about how to leave Chu Mansion without seeing that rogue again. But she lost track of time and couldn’t believe the rogue had actually come looking for her.

It seemed she couldn’t avoid him anymore. Embarrassing as it was, she reached for the door handle, only to hear the rogue say another line, "If you don’t come out now, I’m going in."

Her face instantly turned red. Clanging the restroom door open, the two faced each other—one inside, the other outside—and quickly averted their gazes.

The situation was indeed extremely awkward. Chu Lian turned around, feigning calm, and said as he walked away, using an impatient tone, "Aren’t you coming out yet?"

Wang Xiangxiang followed him out of the restroom, thinking to herself that he must be laughing at her. She needed to leave quickly and said, "I’m leaving, and I hope we never see each other again."

At her words, Chu Lian felt extremely angry. Did he want to see her? It was she who had come to find him, after all.

"I didn’t want to see you. You came looking for me today."

"..." His words seemed right, but would she have come fuming if he hadn’t spoken to those aunts in such a way?

"You’re ruining my reputation. Should I just put up with it?"

"..." He hadn’t intended to ruin her reputation. He was just hot-headed at the moment and wanted to play a trick on her. "Well, you’ve hit me. What else do you want?"

She had grabbed his collar and punched his belly, completely lacking the demeanor of a proper lady.

What else did she want? His words reminded Wang Xiangxiang. Just punching him once was far too lenient. Her mind spun rapidly, her eyes glinting more brightly.

She seemed to see a big business opportunity waving at her.

Seeing this version of Wang Xiangxiang, Chu Lian felt a chill on his scalp, sensing that something wasn’t quite right. She wouldn’t make an unreasonable request, would she?

True enough, he saw the mischievous woman’s eyes twinkling as she mischievously smiled at him, a sight that was downright eerie.

"From now on, Chu Mansion and Yuelai Restaurant must get all their fabric supplies from Xiangxiang Cloth Shop. This will make up for the defamation of my reputation this time."

Upon hearing this, Chu Lian’s eyes widened. How shameless could she be? He had no idea that she was such a money-grubber. He had completely mistaken her for someone different from those women who wanted to marry into his family. Now, it seemed she was no different at all.

Knowing the shrew’s nature, he erupted in anger. "That’s impossible. You need to leave my house right now."

"..." Was he really so angry over a small favor she asked of him?

It didn’t matter; she hadn’t wanted to have anything more to do with him anyway. For a moment, she thought she saw Silver beckoning to her, so she had made the demand, only to be utterly rejected.

"I was just speaking off the cuff. Forget it if you don’t agree, but don’t tarnish my reputation again. Otherwise..."

Wang Xiangxiang briefly shook her fist in front of Chu Lian, then strode forward confidently.
