Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1129 - 1133: Calling Me So Distantly

Was she attempting to conserve his funds, or was there another motive? Even if she refused his wealth, other women would gladly accept it. This unique woman wasn’t driven by materialism; he understood her actions stemmed entirely from her devotion to her father.

She was indeed a troublesome individual! Who would conceive such a reckless plan as auctioning her virginity? Did she fail to grasp the dire implications? Once she fell into another man’s grasp, her future would be far from bright.

"Young Master, I appreciate your generosity. I will return your card once I depart; I reside in your home, consume your food - everything originates from you. I have no justification for accepting your money." She hastened to clarify, anxious that Beitang Yao might misconstrue her intentions, believing she intended to keep the funds he provided. In reality, she no longer wished to benefit from his financial assistance. He had already granted her two million to rescue her father, which she deemed sufficient.

"What did you just address me as?" His tone became displeasure once more; this infuriating woman had still not grasped his expectations, persistently using such formal address.

Xia Qingqian paused, a shiver running through her as she softly uttered, "Yao..." The unfamiliarity of it made her feel incredibly awkward.

"A woman must learn self-reliance, understand? Cease living so timidly. Observe your attire! You are not yet wedded, yet you resemble a fading housewife—it’s truly lamentable." These words did not reflect Beitang Yao’s genuine sentiments; in truth, he found her unadorned appearance quite appealing, her simple and aloof demeanor captivating anyone who beheld her.

She exuded a serene, tranquil aura, possessing a captivating beauty in her simplicity. However, his dissatisfaction stemmed from her frugality, her reluctance to spend his money. Never before had he encountered such a woman; his relationships with others had always been purely transactional—his desire for intimacy met by their need for financial support, a straightforward exchange.

Yet, this naive woman refused to expend even a single yuan of his fortune.

"At home, one should wear something comfortable. Even these garments are remarkably expensive," she stated with a hint of defiance. Prior to her association with Beitang Yao, the collective value of every piece of clothing in her wardrobe likely wouldn't have rivaled the cost of this single, simple home outfit.

Ordinarily, she wore a work uniform, and after returning home, she naturally opted for casual wear. She wasn't participating in a fashion show, so why bother dressing up? While her closet held numerous expensive dresses, she rarely found occasions to wear them.

However, those were all selected by Beitang Yao for her, and she found herself unable to refuse his choices.

"Is it truly acceptable to dress so plainly at home? If I grow weary of this, I shall certainly hold you responsible!" he declared through gritted teeth.

Xia Qingqian found herself momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to respond. Was her choice of attire capable of inducing aesthetic fatigue in him? What peculiar logic was this?

"This particular outfit is, in fact, exceedingly costly." For her, it truly was; a single set valued at three thousand yuan was undeniably steep. For someone of her financial standing, that sum represented several months of living expenses. Her entire collection of clothes combined barely equaled half the price of this solitary ensemble, yet the Young Master dismissed it as casual wear?

Beitang Yao’s brow furrowed unexpectedly as an observation surfaced; she had habitually punctuated her sentences with "Young Master." He hadn't anticipated that, upon his request for a change in address, she would so readily omit his name.

This seemingly oblivious woman was not entirely inept after all; she could naturally refer to others by name, yet addressing him felt so foreign?
