Even if she faced trouble, even if her reputation was ruined, she could not drag her father down with her. He had just escaped the clutches of death, and no matter what, she refused to let him be pulled back into that abyss. She considered this her duty to her father.
"Xia Qingqian, what makes you think you have the right to negotiate with me? Wasn't it you who had the audacity to beg me to let you go before? Now, why are you pleading with me to punish you instead? Or perhaps you're simply afraid I'll make you pay back the two million?" He released her, standing up and looking down at her.
"Young Master, I implore you, permit me to remain by your side. However, I wish to repay you through means other than my body. Is that possible? I can perform other tasks to settle my debt." She collapsed onto the floor, tears welling up and falling, not from Beitang Yao's harsh words, but from the sheer injustice she felt.
What power did a person like Xia Qingqian possess to contend with others? She was perpetually the target of schemes.
"A debt incurred in money must be repaid with the flesh – that is the stipulation of the contract!" Beitang Yao scoffed, his eyes darkening. "If you wish to employ alternative methods of repayment, by all means, go allow others to take you, and use the earnings from that to settle your debt."
"Young Master!" Xia Qingqian's head snapped up, disbelief coloring her features at the words that had just left his lips.
"What? You're not willing now? This request originated from you; I've now provided you with an answer, yet you refuse to accept it?" Beitang Yao's expression grew increasingly menacing. This infuriating woman had actually compelled him to utter such cruel pronouncements!
"Since you object to my touching you, then you must accept my proposal and use your body to repay everything! After all, this is your profession, is it not?" He added another barb, dripping with cold sarcasm.
Xia Qingqian's body trembled uncontrollably. She drew her knees to her chest, too afraid to respond to his every venomous word!
The study fell into a profound silence. After a moment, Beitang Yao let out a cold snort in her direction before abruptly turning and exiting, slamming the door behind him.
Xia Qingqian finally succumbed to fear, the gravity of her situation dawning on her. She was merely a plaything, and no matter how Beitang Yao chose to treat her, she had no recourse. Now, she was consumed by the terrifying prospect that Beitang Yao might genuinely force her into compromising situations with other men.
An indeterminate amount of time passed before she heard footsteps approaching. A faint voice sounded from above her: "Miss Xia, the Young Master has arranged a flight for your return home. It departs at three o'clock."
Ye Feng presented the ticket in his hand, handing it to her. "The Young Master has already returned to the company. You should pack your belongings first; I will escort you to the airport later."
Xia Qingqian dazedly accepted the ticket from Ye Feng, the speed of it all striking her. The Young Master could no longer tolerate her presence.
She managed a bitter smile. "Housekeeper Ye, I will pack immediately."
"Someone will meet you upon your arrival." Ye Feng's voice was equally subdued. Since the previous incident, he had been wary of speaking too much. The Young Master acted according to his whims, after all. He was merely a servant, not qualified to interfere in the Young Master's affairs.
"Mmm, I will start packing now." She spoke as she rose from the floor. Suffering from anemia, remaining in a squatting position for too long caused her vision to blur upon standing too quickly, and her body swayed unsteadily. Fortunately, Ye Feng's sharp eyes and quick reflexes allowed him to catch her.
"Miss Xia, are you alright?" Ye Feng inquired with concern, assisting her to sit on the sofa. "Rest here for a moment; I'll have Maria assist you with your packing."
