Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1382: Chapter 1396: Let’s Call It Quits

”I know there’s a new clothing company under Mu Group, positioned even higher than Pinge. Now that Young Master Mu’s wife has come to the Imperial City, if you have time, ask her out, warm up the relationship a bit and see if you can help me land this Mu deal.”

Since Wang Xiaoyi was pretending to be clueless, Qin Ming just laid it all out, leaving her no room to keep playing dumb.

Wang Xiaoyi hadn’t expected Qin Ming to be this blunt, and he didn’t even really know what her relationship with An Ran was, yet he wanted her to help him get business. Back then, when An Ran arranged for her to get into Young Master Chen’s company, she was already very grateful. How could she possibly shamelessly go beg An Ran again to help Qin Ming land this contract?

”Qin Ming, An Ran is just Instructor Mu’s girlfriend. She’s only in the Imperial City on vacation. From what I’ve heard, Mu Group’s affairs are all handled by the Mu Family’s eldest miss. Don’t you think you’re being a bit too pushy?”

”What ’Young Master Mu’s girlfriend’? I don’t believe you don’t know this. The Mu Family already acknowledged her as the Young Madam of the Mu Family. I heard she’s also the Shen Family’s eldest miss. With that kind of background, saying just one word for me—how is that forcing anyone? Are we making things hard on Young Mrs. Mu, or are you the one who feels put on the spot?”

Qin Ming’s face didn’t look good, and his tone turned a few shades darker.

He’d gotten together with Wang Xiaoyi with a purpose to begin with. Now they’d been together for so long, and aside from satisfying him in bed, she hadn’t managed to get a single thing done for him. He’d already lost patience with her long ago.

If he just wanted a bed partner, would Qin Ming ever be short of someone to sleep with?

Bitterness slid through Wang Xiaoyi’s heart. She thought of that life-and-death moment when she pinned her last shred of hope on An Ran, only to be pushed into an abyss with no way back.

From that moment on, she’d made up her mind that, no matter what, she would only rely on herself.

And now, the man in front of her actually wanted her to go beg An Ran again. She knew, with An Ran’s character, she’d probably help her. But in her own heart, she just couldn’t get past that hurdle.

”Qin Ming, if you want to compete for a cooperation with Mu Group, you can go through proper channels. With the quality of Qin’s products, since you were able to land Wanyan, I’m sure taking Mu Group down won’t be any harder than lifting a finger.” Wang Xiaoyi took a deep breath, forcing herself to speak as calmly as possible.

”Bang—”

Qin Ming slammed the wine glass in his hand heavily onto the table, and more than half the wine splashed out.

”Wang Xiaoyi, don’t think that just because I usually put you on a pedestal and coax you, you’re really something special. Think about it—what would make me, Qin Ming, bother to pamper a woman with absolutely no background like you? You really think I don’t know your dirty little past? A whore who’s been ridden by thousands and passed around by ten thousand—I’m already sick of playing with you. Since you won’t do it, then we’re done here.”

Without waiting for Wang Xiaoyi to respond, Qin Ming stood up, flicked his hand, and walked away.

Listening to Qin Ming’s words, Wang Xiaoyi felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head.

She admitted that, at the beginning, she had been confused by Qin Ming’s pursuit.

Later, under his fervent chasing, she gradually lost herself. He had acted so straightforward and genuine that she always thought what they had was real love, just like what she’d had with Tian Zhiyuan back then.

She never expected that the whole time he’d been with her with this kind of calculation in mind. So he’d always known about those things that happened to her in Nan’an. In his eyes, she was just a whore with value, and now that value was gone. In his eyes, all that was left was the word ”whore.”

Wang Xiaoyi wanted to laugh. She should be thanking the heavens for letting her see this man’s true face so quickly, yet her eye sockets burned with pain.
