Yuchi: "?"
Yin Shuang: "?"
Yuchi: "..."
He stuffed Yin Shuang back into the portrait card in one go.
Kids shouldn’t be listening to this kind of talk; conversations between adults are filthy as hell.
Xiangxiang went on without a care:
"Did your big brother seriously think a girl like me, Xiangxiang, would ever truly fall for anyone? You really think in my life, his existence is something I can’t live without?"
"Plain brothel girls, Xiangxiang girls, hell, even the Courtesan herself, all the same."
"How many men have we seen in a lifetime? How many lies and scams have we watched play out? You think we’d just randomly decide to believe in some so‑called man’s ’true feelings’?"
Xiangxiang hit him with three questions in a row.
Yuchi: "So?"
"So instead of believing a man’s ’heart’, I might as well just trust a dog. At least a dog’s love for bones never changes."
"At the end of the day it’s just a night of mutual deception under a full moon."
"Men want dignity, and women hand them money so they can pretend they have dignity."
"That’s all there is to it."
"Deeper feelings, marriage fates? Want to dig that kind of crap out of us? That’s a bit too naïve."
Yuchi: "..."
Yin Shuang: "..."
Yuchi: "..."
Face dark, he shoved Yin Shuang back into the portrait card again, then tucked the card right under his armpit.
Because he had a feeling Xiangxiang was about to go full cruel mode.
Looking at the woman’s grinning face now, he more or less understood what she meant. Watching her calmly talk, he asked back, "So if I sleep with you, that makes you a Courtesan, right? I’m basically the test you have to pass on your road to becoming Courtesan, huh."
Yuchi didn’t know the full story; he was just deducing based on what was in front of him. Otherwise, was this Xiangxiang really planning to just do business with him? Link it with what came before and, yeah, you get this kind of absurd conclusion.
Xiangxiang chuckled softly: "Yes. President Yuchi really is President Yuchi, sharp as a knife. Just from a few simple hints you can jump straight to that conclusion, so your Chamber of Commerce didn’t happen by luck."
Her answer was light, easy.
Yuchi: "..." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
So it really is like that? And what the hell does that have to do with me, Yuchi? I didn’t even know this woman before today.
Meanwhile Xiangxiang calmly said to Yuchi:
"I’ve always wanted to become a Courtesan. That’s the whole point of my existence. When I was following behind the Courtesan learning the ropes, she told me there are two must‑have conditions to become a Courtesan. As long as you meet these two, then no matter which big establishment you go to, it’s easy to snag the top Courtesan spot."
Two conditions? Yuchi didn’t really get what Xiangxiang was getting at.
"First, a Courtesan needs to have one powerful patron. Only with the backing of that powerful guest do you have the capital to be a Courtesan. When you join the selection, you have to be able to say which guest you’ve had fun with, you have to find that one most powerful guest of yours. Same back then for Xiangxiang girls: you had to land the most reputable man in town. Only if you fit that standard could you slowly become a Xiangxiang girl."
"Second, a Courtesan must cut off feelings, completely step out of simple love‑and‑hate entanglements. That means first you have to like someone, then you have to abandon that liking entirely. Only then, when you’re with other male patrons, can you avoid your one little crush messing with other guests’ experience."
"I’ve already done the second one. I admit I used to have feelings for your big brother, I even felt disgusted with myself when facing other guests back then."
"But obviously I don’t have that feeling anymore. I can calmly lie to him now, and my heart doesn’t ripple in the slightest."
"Now I’m only missing the first condition. As long as you, President, choose to be with me, even if it’s just once, I can rely on my skills and knowledge to successfully advance to Courtesan."
The look on Xiangxiang’s face turned much darker; she pretty much came off like a total bitch, and when she finished she was still slowly sipping her tea.
This whole pond of water was green as hell, toxic as it gets.
The air in the room instantly went heavy, and Yuchi’s expression grew colder and colder.
Any normal person hearing Xiangxiang say this would want to slap her twice on the spot. This is just outright playing with someone’s feelings, keeping them dancing in the palm of your hand.
With that cold look on his face, Yuchi spoke flatly: "To be blunt, your business has nothing to do with me; I can’t be bothered to care about your little dramas. Otherwise if people found out, they’d think I’m here to drag out the plot."
Xiangxiang: "..."
Drag out the plot?
She stared at the boy in front of her, a bit stunned.
Yuchi went on: "But considering you at least have some kind of connection with my big brother, there are some things I’d rather just say straight now."
Yuchi walked toward Xiangxiang step by step. Of course, he didn’t go stand right next to her; instead he pulled over a stool and sat down on the other side of the table.
On the way over, Xiangxiang teased, "So you’re still going to come over and scold me first so you can feel better, is that it?"
