The caregiver handed over a stack of money.

Ye Lu felt a tightness in her breath and her face turned even paler.

Staring at that stack of money, her heart ached, filled with a sense of insulted anger.

"So, Third Young Master Jun is willing to give me money. He used to refuse paying me, but now he has learned to do so." Ye Lu felt her heart aching even more.

This hurt more than being asked to leave directly, it felt like she had been slapped by the money.

She had taken care of him day and night these past few days, even waited outside the operation room overnight until she fainted. Can all this dedication be measured by money?

What did he think of her devoted care? She felt not only sadness but also deep humiliation in her heart.

She didn’t really expect anything in return, knowing that it was impossible for them to be together, but he shouldn’t insult her this way.

"What’s all the noise? Don’t disturb King’s rest." Bai Sijia came out with a stern face, looking at Ye Lu with a smirk, "What’s wrong, not happy with the money? You keep pestering us, so here is double the amount. Don’t be too greedy and pick it up and leave."

Seeing her triumphant expression of victory, Ye Lu felt even more heartache.

"If you want to pay, it shouldn’t be you who does it."

Ye Lu pushed the door of the ward open and strode in. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Third Young Master Jun sat on the bed, reading some documents. Seeing her burst in, a frown appeared on his forehead.

"What’s the matter?"

Ye Lu threw the stack of money on the table, raising her chin, "Not enough money."

Third Young Master Jun squinted his dark eyes, "I thought you would refuse to take this money."

"Ha, who would refuse to take the money? I earned this money myself so I have the right to use it. I can’t just take care of you for free, wasting my precious time."

Third Young Master Jun’s handsome face turned green. She dared to say that caring for him was a waste of time.

"How much more do you want?"

"Let me calculate, the hard work of these past few days can’t be missed. Also, I think Third Young Master Jun wouldn’t mind paying me the money you owe me from before." Ye Lu said with a provocative look on her face.

"What money?"

"I charge a nightly fee. Seems like the Third Young Master is forgetful of his past deeds. You can’t just sleep with me any time you want, you need to pay for it."

"Ye Lu—" Third Young Master’s anger was palpable, his cold eyes seemed as if they were shooting daggers.

Bai Sijia was trembling with anger, "Ye Lu, you have no shame in saying such words."

She had not encountered such a shameless woman before. Was she flaunting their relationship in her face on purpose?

Envy swallowed her up as she pondered about the times King had spent with this woman.

Ye Lu scoffed, "I can’t afford to spend my nights for free like you. Since there is no affection between us, I have to charge. Let me think, how much should I charge? We have been together for a few months, and at least half of the nights were spent in the same bed."

Bai Sijia’s face turned pale. Jun Huang had spent so many nights with her for several months.

"Ah right." Ye Lu turned her provocative gaze towards Bai Sijia, "And not just once each night. When you add it all up, it’s quite a lot."

Bai Sijia was shaking with rage. She was sure that this despicable woman was flaunting their relationship in her face on purpose.

On the other hand, she was choked by the numbers that Ye Lu mentioned.

"Third Young Master, it’s time to pay."

"Get out!" Third Young Master Jun simply gave her a frigid reply.

Ye Lu felt her heart tremble, but she raised her head to meet his bone-chilling gaze, and seductively walked up to him step by step.

She reached out her slender hand to touch his face.

"So, Third Young Master doesn’t want to pay? That’s fine, I’m not totally unreasonable. But I can’t be taken advantage of either. Since you don’t want to pay money, then for every night you’ve spent with me in the past, you should give me one in return. Then we’ll call it even!"
