Beneath the enveloping white mist, Shen Mannin was taking a bath.

Her figure was curvaceous, and her skin was fair. She radiated the scent of a young girl tantalizingly, like a ripe fruit that invites biting.

Even though the water temperature was high enough, Shen Mannin was still shivering, her palm-sized face as pale as a ghost.

Because she was about to give away her first time.

No!

To put it more precisely, she was going to sell it!

To a man she's never even met!

Just for a million yuan!

Faced with the threat of usury, which had pushed her entire family to the brink of committing suicide together, she had no choice but to sell herself!

Thinking of this, a cold smirk appeared on Shen Mannin's lips.

She reached out, turned off the faucet, walked to the mirror, gazing at her own body. Then she picked up a towel and meticulously wiped off the droplets of water.

Meanwhile, as Shen Mannin was making the final preparations to sell herself, Ye Xiuyuan, who had been drugged, was in the hallway, his mind muddled, dodging an onslaught.

"You bunch of useless idiots, where did he go, don't you even know? Find him! If you can't, don't bother coming back!" Xi Jiayi roared in anger.

Just when the footsteps coming from behind were drawing near, Ye Xiuyuan looked up to find a door slightly ajar. He took two quick steps and swiftly darted into the room.

Upon hearing the sound outside the door, Shen Mannin in the bathroom knew that her client had arrived. So, she put on a purple lace dress, took several deep breaths in front of the mirror, then finally emerged from the bathroom.

Yexiu Yuan narrowly avoids being caught by Xiyi. Knowing full well that he needed a woman now, or else he would surely die under the influence of this high-dose medication. Just as he reaches for his phone to call his assistant, Shao Xu, he hears a soft voice in his ears.

"Sir, you're here!"

Shen Manning originally thought she'd be serving a perverted, balding man in his fifties tonight, only to find a tall, handsome man with an intimidatingly regal aura instead. This brings her a bit of relief.

Upon seeing Shen Manning standing at the bathroom door, a startled Yexiu Yuan drops his phone with a loud 'clunk'. The woman before him is only wearing a thin purple lace dress, her charming figure barely hidden under its light fabric.

The mesmerizing sight hastens the reaction of the drugs inside Yexiu Yuan, and he feels as though his veins are about to burst.

What is this woman up to?

Before Yexiu Yuan can fully process the situation, Shen Manning has approached him, removed his coat, and started to unbutton his shirt, asking, "Sir, would you like to have a bath first, or should we…"

Despite being inexperienced, Shen Manning was briefly trained prior to her visit, which keeps her from being completely flustered.

This is not how Yexiu Yuan sees things, though. In his eyes, Shen Manning is a seasoned escort, which makes him feel he doesn't need to hold back.

Before Shen Manning can finish her sentence, Yexiu Yuan picks her up, strides to the bed, and sets her down. Before she can even react, he has already pressed his body against her.

...

The next day.

With the morning sunshine streaming through the window, Shen Manning opens her eyes. As she looks around, she finds that she is alone in the room. Ignoring her discomfort, she wraps herself in a sheet, gets off the bed, and reaches into her bag for her phone. She had switched it off yesterday, not to disturb the man's mood. Just as she switches it back on, a bombardment of messages and notifications attack her.

"Shen Manning, I can't believe you switched off your phone. Do you think you can escape me? I will find you, even at the ends of the earth!"

【"Shen Mannin, you can run from a monk, but you can't escape the temple. If you don’t repay the money before morning, I'll make you work as a hostess!"】

【"Shen Mannin, I'm holding your parents. If you don’t pick up my calls again, they'll pay!"】

When Shen Mannin saw the last text, it hit her like a blow. She immediately dialed Liu Laoqi’s number.

As the call connected, Liu Laoqi's raging voice crashed in, "Shen Mannin, you bitch, you dare to turn off your phone? Let me tell you, before today ends, if you still haven’t repaid the money, say goodbye to your father...beep beep beep…”

"Hello? Hello?? Hello???”

Without waiting for Shen Mannin to speak, Liu Laoqi hung up the call.

Frantically, Shen Mannin dialed Sister Hua’s number, who was the Madam of 'Heaven on Earth.' The order she took yesterday was arranged by Sister Hua, who promised to pay her one million afterwards.

Once Sister Hua answered the call, Shen Mannin didn’t wait for her to speak, she rushed in, “Sister Hua, I urgently need cash. Can you please transfer that one million to me?”

“Shen Mannin, what kind of nonsense is this? I haven’t even settled the score about you ditching Boss Wang yesterday, and now, you are demanding a million from me? I'm telling you, if I see you again, you'll have a taste of real trouble...beep beep beep…”

"No, Sister Hua, I…”

Before Shen Mannin could finish her sentence, Sister Hua had already terminated the call. Shen Mannin felt as if she was struck by lightning, immediately collapsed onto the ground.

“If yesterday's man wasn’t Boss Wang, then who was he? Shen Mannin, you are incredibly stupid. You even gave your body away for free!”

Muttering these words to herself, Shen Mannin slapped herself in the face, gritted her teeth, as tears flowed down unchecked.

Last night was unforgettable for Shen Mannin, but for Ye Xiuyuan, it was just an ordinary night. He even assumed he would never see Shen Mannin again, only to run into her three nights later at a nightclub, while he was hosting several business partners from Hong Kong.

She was garishly dressed, with flamboyant makeup, and a cigarette hanging off her lips, an unrecognizable transformation from the delicate beauty she once was.

Upon recognizing Shen Manning, Ye Xiuyuan was likewise recognized by her.

The second she laid eyes on Ye Xiuyuan, Shen Manning charged forward like a madwoman and slapped him square across the face.

The first words she uttered were, “Do you take off with your pants pulled up, without paying, fearing nothing, not even the curse of having no descendants?”

Her next words were, “Pay up, 1 million, or I’ll call the police!”

Before she could speak her third sentence, she fell to her knees and began to sob uncontrollably.

In a desperate bid to save her family, Shen Manning willingly became a bar hostess, serving drinks and singing, but vowing never to sell herself. Nonetheless, it still wasn’t enough to prevent her from being taken advantage of by the customers.

Ever since that crazy, recklessness happened and she was taken advantage of, Shen Manning had been suppressing her emotions. On seeing Ye Xiuyuan, it all came roaring out.

The scene enacted by Shen Manning left Ye Xiuyuan dumbstruck.

He then asked Xu Shao to look into Shen Manning's background and discovered that she was a senior student at West City University. Her father, after going bankrupt due to a failed business venture and incurring a 1 million high-interest loan, forced her into this line of work out of desperation.

Recalling the situation that night after going through the information, Ye Xiuyuan remembered how he ended up in her room, drugged and at his wit's end, and how he had unconsciously viewed her as a prostitute when he saw her dressed ‘that way.' Even when he came upon her hymen, he had assumed that it was surgically restored, therefore, he showed no mercy. But taking into account the current situation, could it be —

“Was she really a virgin?”
