Please Pay Off Love Debt, My Sweetie

Tonight, the splendid villa was adorned by colorful lights that made it look more extravagant.

With a goblet in her hand, Perrin Xia walked gracefully into the hall.

She was wearing a red dress that outlined her perfect figure. There was a faint smile on her thin lips.

But as she walked, her slender fingers secretly clenched into tightly squeezed fists. She felt like a wave was rolling in her stomach.

No matter how gorgeous this party was, for her, she had nothing to do with it.

This party was organized by Lucas Gu, her nominal fiance, who had always been cold to her. The man loved humiliating her all the time.

She even had a hunch that Lucas Gu would humiliate her again in this banquet, just like the way he had done so many times.

She really wanted to get away from here as soon as possible. However, there was a reason why she had to stay for the time being.

Perrin Xia was on her way to the bathroom when she accidentally bumped into a man. The red wine in her glass immediately splashed into his white shirt. "I'm so sorry," she apologized immediately.

But she was stunned when the man said, "If this is your way of attracting my attention, I'm afraid you've used the wrong method." The man's voice was unusually cold and full of mockery.

Perrin Xia raised her head and met the man's playful eyes. And her jaw dropped upon recognizing who the man in front of her was. He was no other than Rory An, one of the most prominent personalities in B City.

Perrin Xia slightly frowned when she felt her stomach churned. Her face turned white as a sheet, but she still tried her best to explain, "I'm sorry, but I think you misunderstand. Don't worry. I am willing to pay for your stained shirt."

Rory An stared at her pale face. Most women played hundreds of tricks just to win his favor, and in his eyes, she was no different from them. "You don't have to pretend that you are sick. After all, I am not interested in a woman like you."

Perrin Xia had no strength to explain anymore. Moreover, she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would only throw up in front of him.

To avoid another embarrassing situation, she decided to turn around and leave. But when she was about to walk forward, someone grabbed her arm all of a sudden. When she turned back, she saw a woman wearing a yellow gown.

"I've already seen a lot of women like you. How dare you bother Rory in this banquet!" the woman sneered. She looked so domineering.

Rory An raised his eyebrows upon seeing the intrusion of another woman. But his eyes were fixed on Perrin Xia's face that had become paler. He wanted to see how she would deal with this mess.

Although he didn't show it, he was obviously interested in Perrin Xia.

Perrin Xia didn't say anything. Instead, she just shook the woman's hand off with a frown. Her eyes emitted a very cold aura.

The woman in a yellow gown saw the interest in Rory's eyes towards Perrin, so she flared up with rage. She grabbed Perrin's arm again and asked, "What? Do you feel guilty now?"

"I..." Perrin stammered. Although her face was now as white as a sheet, her lips were still as enchanting as red roses when they moved slightly. She was about to open her mouth when a thin layer of mist surfaced in her eyes.

The woman squinted and added in a cruel voice, "What are you doing? Do you think Rory will fall for you if you pretend to look pitiful?"

Perrin felt that the woman had gone overboard. She had nothing to do with Rory, but the woman kept on insisting.

She really wanted to explain, but her stomach felt more and more uncomfortable. It was as if she couldn't restrain herself from vomiting anymore. "Ump!"

Before the woman could react, Perrin had already thrown up at her.

She took this opportunity to give the woman a blow. With tears falling down her slightly flushed cheeks, she looked up at the half-smiling Rory and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry. Although I am pregnant, I am willing to give him up if he really wants to be with you."

Rory frowned slightly upon hearing Perrin's words. But of course, he didn't butt in. In fact, the interest in his eyes grew more intense. He had a feeling that Perrin was not a simple woman.

The woman in a yellow gown, who was dirtied all over, glared at Perrin. With malicious eyes, the expression on her face became furious. "You're talking nonsense!"

Rory suddenly wrapped his arm around Perrin's waist to support her. He then turned to the woman and said coldly, "Sasha, are you done?"

Perrin's heart skipped a beat. She immediately understood that Rory was trying to play a trick. He wanted to use her to annoy the woman in a yellow gown.

But she didn't want to get involved with them, so she excused herself, "I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

As soon as she moved away from Rory, Sasha Luo was like an octopus who suddenly clung to Rory. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

When Perrin came out of the bathroom, she saw Lucas Gu climbed up the stage and picked up a microphone. He said, "Next, let's all welcome Miss Perrin to the stage."

Before she could fully understand what was going on, the bright spotlight was already aimed at her. She didn't have any choice but to climb up the stage under everyone's complicated gaze.

A question played in her mind, 'What a new trick is Lucas going to play this time?' Her heart sank a little.

Perrin was already on the stage when she noticed a big cake in the middle. The candles on it were lit, and their little flames swayed with the wind. She got more confused, clueless of what Lucas Gu was doing.

"Come here." Lucas Gu beckoned to her to come near him while he took out a long knife with a ribbon tied at the handle. He then motioned her to cut the cake with him.

Since there were so many eyes looking at them, she was too embarrassed to refuse. She held his hands and cut the cake from the top.

They were too close that she couldn't help feeling nervous. She felt like she was trembling all over.

With a crisp sound, something bright slid down from the highest part of the cake, rolled over the red carpet, and stopped at Perrin's feet.

Without thinking too much, she bent down and picked it up. The spotlight was once again focused on her, which gave her a feeling of suffocation.

The shining diamond ring got even more dazzling under the spotlight. Everyone in the banquet quieted down as their eyes were glued at the stage.

Mixed emotions surged up in Perrin's heart as she didn't know whether to take the ring or put it back down. She couldn't even dare to look up at Lucas.

Just when the audience couldn't restrain themselves, Lucas picked up the microphone again and looked at Perrin sarcastically. He then asked in a deliberately raised voice, "Perrin, are you planning to force me to marry you with that ring? I suggest you don't use this trick on me again. Because no matter how many times you use this method, I'll still never marry you."

His words were like a bomb that exploded in the banquet hall.

Everyone looked at Perrin in disbelief. They all thought that she organized this party for this play. It was said that a woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the ocean. Perhaps, she badly wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family that she was willing to use any kind of tricks.
