Chapter 2 Is That What I Am Worth

There was dead silence between them.

The assistant standing next to Aaron had never seen him so emotional. He had always been well put
together. After seeing the woman in front of them, he was a mess of confusion and surprise.

Wendy Wen prodded his back, knocking him out of his reverie. "Uncle, Aunt," he greeted.

Although he didn't stare at Rita for a long time, he did notice how surprised she was. She probably
didn't expect that she'd also meet him here at the restaurant.

It never occurred to Rita that the man she had slept with would be the one she was supposed to date.
Even then, she could remember his abs and muscles all lined so exquisitely on his body. At the
thought, a blush colored her cheekbones.

Rita's parents quickly ushered her into the restaurant. After that, they found an excuse to leave them
alone, giving them more time to get along with one another.

Before she could get over from the surprise, she already found herself sitting in front of him.

"What would you like to drink?" His voice was as melodious as the orchestra. He then quickly handed
the menu to her like the gentleman he was.

"I'd like a latte, please. Thank you,"

she answered and he quickly ordered for the both of them. Once he was done, he quickly took out a
hundred dollar bill from his pocket and placed it inside the menu as a tip.

At the sight of the hundred dollar bill, her face turned bright red. She chewed on her lower lip. When
she saw that no others around was able to hear her, she lowered her voice. "I didn't know I was going
to meet you today. I thought...I didn't expect that I'd sleep with you either so..."



It seemed as if he wasn't interested in hearing her out. He glanced down at his phone. "Do you know
this person?"

There was a woman in the picture with bright seductive eyes. There was just something about her that
could draw any man with a wink of an eye. Rita frowned, shaking her head. "No."

"Really?" He frowned. "She was the one who sent you to my bed that night."

"What?" She could only gape at him, not really knowing what to say.

"You entered the room without even looking the man. Miss Gu, you live quite vicariously." The corners
of his lips lifted.

"And you?" She cocked up an eyebrow. "Wouldn't you like to explain why you'd accept a woman you
didn't know into your bed? A dignified man, you are."

Rita could only tilt her head at the coffee the waiter had just served. The dark brown liquid fitted well
into the fine establishment.

Aaron smiled, "It seems you're used to jumping around then?"

He didn't bother to explain himself. Besides, it wasn't as if he owed her an explanation.

"I believe, you're better than I am."

Their eyes met, the sarcasm and challenge just dripping in each other's gazes.

Rita leaned back, shrugging. "Since we don't like each other, you shouldn't waste your time on me, Mr.
Leng."

"And who said I don't?" he said slowly, a smirk drawing into his lips. "You're good in bed."



Her eyes glinted. "You aren't that bad either."

His arms fell gracefully on arms of the sofa. "But it might be your first time, isn't it?"

"Says who?" She paled as she glanced around, afraid that their very interesting conversation could be
heard by others. "You must be drunk."

"Honestly, a hundred dollar bill. Do you really think I'm worth that much?"

She could only gape at him like a fish who was just removed from her aquarium. She hesitated for a
very long time. "I only had that bill on. Besides, I don't feel right if I didn't pay you for the night."

"At least pay the rest then." Seeing her alarmed eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle.

From afar, it appeared as if they were having the time of their lives. Although Wendy Wen couldn't hear
what they were talking about, she could see the difference in Aaron's expression before and after
meeting Rita.

"That's all for today," he said to Wendy Wen. "Drive Miss Gu and her parents back."

Rita straightened her skirt and raised her head haughtily. "No need, Mr. Leng. We can go ourselves,"
she stated. "It's very kind of you though."

Even if he was the second son of the Leng family, there was no way she was going to marry him.

"Wait a minute." Aaron looked at her with interest. "Haven't we reached an agreement to get a marriage
license next week?"
