Chapter 76: The Price of a Lover

  Nothing substantial has happened between Wu Tian and Fang Hua, and even Wu Tian himself doesn't know what his relationship with Fang Hua is. If one had to describe it, it would be a relationship of teasing and being teased. Previously, it was Fang Hua teasing him, but now it's become the other way around.

  Today, I'm here by chance. I thought Fang Hua came here to meet a client, and Wu Tian wanted to see Fang Hua's secret skills. Who would have thought that it was actually a date with a young man? Of course, it could also be something else, so let's continue eavesdropping. Anyway, based on Wu Tian's understanding of Fang Hua, if someone is useless to her, she won't take them seriously and definitely won't agree to meet up. After all, she's a busy person in the Shen Tian company.

  "Xiao Kechang, you're looking for me so urgently today, I wonder what's going on?" Fang Hua asked the man in front of her with a charming and seductive expression. Her charm was not acquired through experience, but rather innate, it was in her bones. The phrase "born with a flirtatious bone" was coined to describe women like her. Even a simple glance or smile from her could be mesmerizing to outsiders, as if she was emitting electricity. Since ancient times, women like Fang Hua were either considered femme fatales or enchantresses, it was unclear which category she belonged to.

  "Just call me Xiao Cheng," the man said to Fang Hua, he seemed unaffected by Fang Hua's charms, but his eyes were filled with possessive desire as he looked at her. He continued, "Fang Hua, we've known each other for a year now, shouldn't our relationship take another step forward?"

  The man looks like a successful person with a certain status in society, which can be seen from his speech and demeanor, and there is also a sense of superiority.

  "It's been a year? This demon is hiding deep enough." Wu Tian thought to himself, but he couldn't help but smile again. He slightly turned his head and took a glance at the man, who was indeed a government official, although he didn't know which department he was from. It seemed that even this small section chief wanted to subdue Fang Hua? Beijing officials were as numerous as the hairs on an ox's back, and being a small section chief wasn't anything special, but it was precisely because of this that they were sought after by others. Those mayors and bureau chiefs from other places would have to seek out these people when they came to Beijing to look for projects or funding. As the saying goes, "it's easy to deal with the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little demons." Without these people to pass on messages, those from outside would never be able to get anything done. As for those ministers and department heads, when would they have time to see outsiders? There were so many cities across the country - even if they saw one person per hour, it would take a year just to see everyone once.

  "Hehe, how can we take it further?" Fang Hua asked with a smile.

  "Haven't I told you? Be my woman." Xiao Cheng's eyes were filled with deep affection as he gazed at Fang Hua, and from his pocket, he pulled out a small square box which he placed on the table and opened. Inside was a diamond ring about the size of a soybean, weighing two carats, and its design was extremely exquisite. Under the light, it sparkled radiantly. Xiao Cheng took the diamond ring out of the box and handed it to Fang Hua, his eyes filled with expectation.

  Fang Hua took a look at the diamond ring and reached out to take it, fiddling with it in his hand. Xiao Cheng's face immediately lit up with joy upon seeing this.

  "Not bad, this diamond is perfect in terms of clarity, color and cut. It's worth at least 400,000 yuan?" Fang Hua asked while playing with it, her little finger also had a diamond ring on it, but compared to the soybean-sized one in front of her, it was much smaller."

  "Good eyesight."

  "Xiao Kezhang's first move is already something so valuable, truly generous."

  "For you, I'd do anything, not just giving a small diamond ring." Xiao Cheng said solemnly.

  "Hehe~~!" Fang Hua heard and giggled, her voice as sweet and pleasant as the song of an oriole, with a subtle charm that captivated people's hearts.

  The person next to me, Wu Tian, frowned tightly. Could Fang Hua have fallen so quickly? However, it's not impossible either. Women love diamonds the most, although they're just made of carbon elements and are essentially no different from graphite. But women's reactions to diamonds and graphite are completely different. If you give a diamond to a woman, she'll scream with delight and throw herself into your arms. If you give her a piece of graphite, she'll probably slap you in the face and turn around to leave.

  Wu Tian couldn't help but let out a cold snort, he had overestimated Fang Hua.

  At this time, the conversation between Fang Hua and Xiao Cheng came from next door again. Wu Tian looked at the magazine while continuing to listen.

  "Did you promise?" Xiao Cheng asked urgently, looking at Fang Hua with a sharp glint in his eyes, like a wolf spotting its prey and ready to pounce.

  "I can promise you."

  "Too good!"

  "But...!" Fang Hua put away the flirtatious smile on her face, narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Cheng opposite her, asking lightly, "Are you divorced?"

  “……！”

  Wu Tian was stunned after hearing this, could it be that Xiao Cheng is a married man? What's the point of coming out and playing around then? Damn! After scolding, Wu Tian was stunned again, isn't this man's situation the same as his own? Isn't he also a married man now? Moreover, he doesn't just want to find one or two women, it's that simple. Men's thoughts about women seem to be all like Han Youxiang's, the more the better.

  Xiao Cheng's excited expression froze as soon as he heard Fang Hua's words, and it wasn't until after a while that he shook his head and said to Fang Hua, "I've told you before, I'm not allowed to get divorced. If I do, my career path will come to an end. I think you don't want me to be just a department head for the rest of my life, or even worse, right? Don't worry, as long as you agree to be my mistress, I'll treat you better than my wife! A house, a car, whatever you want, I can satisfy you."

  "I believe you can do it." Fang Hua said after hearing, "However, I also told you that unless you get a divorce, I won't agree to yours."

  "Why? Am I not good enough for you?" Xiao Cheng leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Fang Hua as he asked, his emotions somewhat agitated.

  "The diamond is not bad." Fang Hua put the ring back in the jewelry box after playing with it for a while, looked at Xiao Cheng and smiled, "Xiao Kechang, even if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends, right?"

  "I don't want to be friends, I just want you to be my lover." Xiao Cheng suddenly stretched out his hands and tightly grasped Fang Hua's hand, saying "Fang Hua, trust me, I absolutely won't let you down. Aren't you in the pharmaceutical company? I'll introduce you to more people in the pharmaceutical industry all over the country. Later on, your bonuses will be in the tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and I'll help you become bigger and bigger! Fang Hua, please agree to me?"

  "What if I don't agree?" Fang Hua asked.

  "Not answering... not answering?" Xiao Cheng was stunned, repeating a few sentences in a daze, suddenly raising his head to stare at Fang Hua, gritting his teeth and threatening, "If you don't answer, I'll tell those people who introduced you before, and cut off all ties with you."

  "Haha~~!" Fang Hua heard the threat and instead of being intimidated, unexpectedly burst out laughing.

  Xiao Cheng looked at Fang Hua with a puzzled expression, then his eyes filled with excitement and he asked, "You agreed?"

  "Think again!" Fang Hua suddenly pulled her hand out of the other person's tight grip, and her face turned cold. The smile on her face instantly disappeared, and her seductive expression was gone. Originally passionate like fire, she had now become an iceberg. Her eyes were like a poisonous snake, coldly staring at the other person. She said, "Do you think threatening me can force me to be your lover? Do you think a few hundred million or a thousand million can buy me out? You're underestimating Fang Hua."

  "Ah?!" Xiao Cheng hadn't expected the other party to suddenly turn against him. He furrowed his brow, looking at Fang Hua and asked, "So you're not in agreement then?"

  "Yes!" Fang Hua picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee, saying, "The price is too low, my worth is more than that."

  "Give me a number!"

  "At least...!" Fang Hua tilted his head, scratching his fingers a few times, "At least several hundred million yuan."

  As soon as Xiao Cheng heard Fang Hua's words, his face immediately turned gloomy. He wasn't the bank president, where would he get a few hundred million from? "Your appetite is too big," Xiao Cheng said.

  "Hundreds of millions is still not enough for me."

  "It seems you're determined to go all the way. Xiao Cheng had already understood that his opponent wouldn't agree to be his mistress, no matter how many billions were involved in this woman's thoughts, but at least there was a component of rejection towards him in that number. Xiao Cheng put the jewelry box into his pocket, he stood up, with a stern face, and coldly looked at Fang Hua saying, "Since it's like that, don't blame me for being impolite from now on!"

  "What can such a petty man do, being so rude?"

  Xiao Chengqi's whole body trembled with anger, and he threw down a sentence "You'll regret it" before leaving the restaurant.

  Fang Hua didn't even glance at him, her face calm and serene, smiling as she sipped her coffee.
