Seeing the red and swollen slap marks on her face, Qu Yiman immediately took out cosmetics from her bag and started putting on heavy makeup in an attempt to cover up the marks of the beating.

After struggling for a long time, she felt that she could not find any flaws and called Cao Xiaodong.

Cao Xiaodong was sitting in the park playing with his mobile phone, shivering with cold.

When he heard the phone in his pocket ringing, he guessed it was Qu Yiman calling, and a smug smile appeared on the corners of his frozen mouth.

"Hey, Yiman, are you done with your work?"

Cao Xiaodong asked with a sly smile.

Hearing Cao Xiaodong's malicious laughter, Qu Yiman felt deeply angry and disgusted.

"Cao Xiaodong, let's find a place to talk it over."

Qu Yiman tried hard to control her emotions and stay as calm as possible.

"Okay~ I'll find a place and send it to you via WeChat later."

"it is good!"

Qu Yiman hung up the phone, sighed, and walked aimlessly along the roadside.

Cao Xiaodong was like a huge rock, pressing heavily on her heart, making her feel so sad that she was suffocated.

Time passed by minute by minute, but Cao Xiaodong still didn't call.

Qu Yiman couldn't wait any longer and was ready to call Cao Xiaodong to question him.

Just then, Cao Xiaodong called.

Qu Yiman answered the phone angrily and asked excitedly, "Brother, what are you doing? It's been an hour, and you still haven't found the place?"

"Isn't it because I'm looking for a good place? If I neglect you, my wife, I'll be guilty!"

"Hmph, stop playing tricks. Let me tell you, I can't stand you any more," Qu Yiman said gritting her teeth.

"Hey, Madam, I'll send you the location right away, please come over quickly."

Cao Xiaodong hung up the phone and sent the location to Qu Yiman via WeChat.

Seeing that it was a restaurant, Qu Yiman became less wary.

Qu Yiman was thinking that if Cao Xiaodong was looking for a place in the wilderness, she would definitely not go there.

Now, she was less wary, but still had that indescribable feeling.

Then she took a taxi to the agreed hotel.

Cao Xiaodong sat in a private room of the hotel, looking down at the bottle of medicine in his hand.

On the bottle is a photo of a man and a woman kissing passionately. The words "Obedient Water" are clearly marked on the bottle.

"I don't know if this thing is useful, so let's use it as an experiment today."

Cao Xiaodong took out the obedient water that he had bought a long time ago. The purpose of buying it was to use it when negotiating contracts, so that those difficult customers would obediently "sign" the contract.

Now, Cao Xiaodong wants Qu Yiman to transfer the money to him willingly.

Cao Xiaodong was looking down at the instructions when he suddenly heard the sound of high heels coming from far away. From the sound of footsteps, he could tell that the person coming was very angry.

Cao Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then quickly unscrewed the lid, poured half a bottle of obedient water into the juice on the table, and shook it vigorously a few times.

Just after doing all this, Qu Yiman pushed open the door and walked in murderously.

"Hey, Madam, you are here."

Cao Xiaodong quickly stood up and walked up to Qu Yiman in a pretentious manner, his face full of teasing and amusement.

"Young Madam, please take a seat~"

Cao Xiaodong pulled over a chair and motioned for Qu Yiman to sit down.

"Go away!"

Qu Yiman pushed Cao Xiaodong away.

"Oh, who made our young mistress angry?"

Cao Xiaodong came up again shamelessly.

Qu Yiman raised her hand and wanted to slap Cao Xiaodong in the face.

Cao Xiaodong grabbed Qu Yiman's wrist and smiled in a nasty way.

"Let go!" Qu Yiman struggled and shouted.

"Wait~"

The smile on Cao Xiaodong's face suddenly disappeared, and he stared at Qu Yiman's face with a serious expression.

After a while, Cao Xiaodong burst into laughter again.

"Yiman, your face~did you get hit by someone?"

Cao Xiaodong burst into laughter, his tone and actions full of sarcasm.

"Cao Xiaodong, you bastard~"

Qu Yiman stretched out her other hand and slapped Cao Xiaodong in the face.

He was still stopped by Cao Xiaodong.

Cao Xiaodong held Qu Yiman's wrists tightly with both hands and looked at her with a mocking expression.

Qu Yiman stared at Cao Xiaodong with bloodshot eyes and her teeth chattering.

"Oh~ Look how angry our young mistress is... Never mind, I apologize to you."

Cao Xiaodong let go of his hand and bowed deeply to Qu Yiman, but his expression and actions were still full of sarcasm.

Qu Yiman glared at Cao Xiaodong with hatred and sat down on the chair angrily.

Cao Xiaodong smiled slightly, sat down opposite Qu Yiman, then picked up the menu on the table and handed it over.

"Madam, do you know why it took me so long to call you?"

"do not know!"

Qu Yiman replied coldly.

"Oh, I'm looking for a restaurant that suits your taste. I was thinking that the young lady is living a life of luxury and probably tired of all the delicious food. It would be difficult to find a restaurant that suits your taste."

"So that's how you found this?"

Qu Yiman took a quick look at the private room and was obviously displeased.

This is a small restaurant and the private rooms are very simple.

With Qu Yiman's current status, she would never come to such a shabby restaurant.

"Madam, you don't know that the owner of this restaurant is from our hometown, and the dishes he cooks are exactly the same as the taste of our hometown. I was thinking that even the delicacies from land and sea are not as good as the simple meals in our hometown."

Cao Xiaodong said with a flattering smile.

Qu Yiman gave a disdainful smile.

Qu Yiman had had enough of the hard times in the past and doesn't miss her previous life at all.

She has no feelings for her so-called hometown.

As a qualified salesperson, Cao Xiaodong could tell at a glance that Qu Yiman was not satisfied with the environment here and had no feelings for her so-called hometown.

"Yiman, how about I order some dishes for you? I guarantee they'll suit your taste," Cao Xiaodong said with a beaming smile.

"Whatever. I don't have an appetite to eat now. I just want to talk to you."

Qu Yiman said this, but her stomach started to growl.

"Haha~ You said you're not hungry!"

Cao Xiaodong couldn't help but shouted with laughter.

Qu Yiman turned her face away, her face flushed with shame.

His face turned red, and the place where he was hit became more obvious. A big slap mark occupied most of his face.

Cao Xiaodong poked his head out to look at Qu Yiman, covered his mouth and smiled, saying, "Madam, may I ask who hit you? Was it the young master? Or the master?"

Qu Yiman angrily grabbed her handbag and prepared to leave.

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding. Madam, please sit down~"

Cao Xiaodong quickly pushed Qu Yiman down, grabbed the juice cup on the table, and poured a full cup of juice for Qu Yiman.
