Yan Hai opened the door for her.

Qian Tao took a few deep breaths and went in.

The lights were on in the room. She stood at the door and heard the sound of water. She was shocked.

Was the person taking a shower Li Hengzhi?

Creak! The bathroom door was drawn apart. Qian Tao who was standing right at the bathroom door felt a rush of hot air. She turned and saw Li Hengzhi walking out from the dense air with a towel wrapped around his waist.

He stood in front of the wardrobe beside her and took out a bathrobe. Without a warning sign, he unwrapped the towel around his waist.

To him, he was just changing, but to Qian Tao…

She turned around and covered her face.

What was he doing?

Wasn’t it shameful?

He was not alone in the room, didn’t he see her standing there?

He obviously did it on purpose!

Li Hengzhi slowly put on the bathrobe. Bringing the belt from both sides to the middle with both his hands, he tied a knot. He glanced at Qian Tao from the corner of his eyes and the corner of his lips quirked up. 

 After a while, he said, “What should be done and what should not be done, have all been done. Are you still bothered by the sight of my naked body? You don’t look like a reserved person.”

His words made her feel like she was the lowest of the low.

Qian Tao let her hands fall when she sensed that he had walked a distance away. She saw him sitting on the couch.

On the side table were a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses. He poured some red wine into both the glasses. He took one glass for himself and said, “Have a seat, let’s drink to celebrate.”

Qian Tao didn’t understand and so she didn’t drink it. She held the wine glass in her hand and was uncertain. “Drink to celebrate?”

“You are now my woman, isn’t it something worth celebrating?” Li Hengzhi looked at her with a faint smile on his face. Qian Tao panicked.

From the outside, she looked calm. “Mr. Li, you have misunderstood. I explained quite clearly that day, it was an accident and you don’t have to be responsible…”

“But I do,” Li Hengzhi interrupted her, “It was my first night. Miss Qian, do you want to be the person who is irresponsible and walks away?”

Qian Tao stared in bewilderment.

The main point currently was not to be responsible or irresponsible, but, excuse me? Li Hengzhi’s first night?

Was it true?

This was really unexpected. Qian Tao thought a man like him would have done this dozens of times.

Despite this, Qian Tao didn’t want to get herself involved. Hence, she put on a beautiful smile. “Mr. Li, although…”

Li Hengzhi’s gesture made her stopped what she was about to say. He got up and took two documents from the side table.

Qian Tao was uncertain. What were those?

Li Hengzhi did not look at her. He was looking at the documents. His tone shifted, “Miss Qian, are you familiar with the law?”

“What do you mean?” Qian Tao smiled drily.

“What is the sentence for a defraud of fifty million dollars?” Li Hengzhi raised his head to look at Qian Tao, a small smirk played on the corner of his lips. 

Qian Tao’s smile froze.

After understanding Li Hengzhi’s plan, she forced herself to smile again. Pretending to be calm, she exclaimed, “It looks like you have found out, so I won’t pretend anymore. Yes, it’s me who tricked you.”

Li Hengzhi was so calm that there was no sign of anger on his face. He smiled faintly, shook his head and handed over the two documents. “I’ll give you two options, one is to go to Sea City’s prison and two is to become Mrs. Li.”
