Xia Liu didn't fast forward; he wanted Liu Lanxin to see how he had saved her, how he had taught Liu Mang a lesson. While watching the footage, Liu Lanxin's emotions fluctuated wildly. Especially because of the camera's angle, she saw Liu Mang pull out a dagger from his waist. At that time, Liu Mang's body was blocking Xia Liu's view, preventing him from seeing the dagger. Just when she was getting nervous, Xia Liu suddenly moved and grabbed Liu Mang's hand, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. After watching for a while longer, her face suddenly flushed. Because she saw herself in the video sitting up from the bed and then violently tearing at her clothes. By then Xia Liu had already sent Liu Mang away, escorting him out the door with his arm around Liu Mang's shoulder just like he would with a friend. Liu Lanxin certainly noticed this detail, but her attention was still focused on herself in the footage. Seeing herself hugging Xia Liu, and then wildly nibbling at him, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. This was embarrassingly humiliating. Despite feeling very bashful, she had a lurking unease: she had acted like that, yet Xia Liu had said he hadn't taken advantage of her, which was absolutely impossible. She continued to watch the video as if she was watching a DVD. When she saw Xia Liu pushing her away and then using a long needle on himself, she felt her heart skip a beat. After watching the entire video, Liu Lanxin was stunned for a long, long time. She had confirmed that nothing had happened to her, and that she had just thrown a basin of water on her savior. She had also accused him of taking liberties with her. Thinking of this, she felt somewhat daunted facing Xia Liu. Wait a minute! "This guy has seen me naked, so even if I threw a basin of water at him, it's no big deal, right?" Liu Lanxin's mind raced. "Also, I was naked, and he stuck a needle in me, that's taking liberties, right? Definitely!" Gradually, Liu Lanxin's knot in her heart completely unraveled, and although she still felt bashful, she was now confident enough to face Xia Liu! "Miss Liu, have you finished watching? Did I take advantage of you when you were vulnerable? Did I take liberties with you?" "You didn't take advantage of me when I was vulnerable, but you did take liberties with me!" Liu Lanxin retorted loudly. "I..." Xia Liu simply stopped talking. Arguing with a woman was pointless unless he was looking for trouble; better to just wash up and go to sleep. "Hmph!" With a cold snort, Liu Lanxin quickly ran into the bathroom. She needed time to cool down; discovering the truth had left her quite embarrassed. But as a girl, she definitely needed to stand her ground, even if she was wrong, she had to make it seem like she wasn't. Liu Lanxin spent about an hour in the bathroom, and when she came out, Xia Liu was no longer in the room. Not seeing Xia Liu, Liu Lanxin felt a sense of loss, as if her body had been hollowed out at that moment. Just as she was thinking about calling her mom to come and pick her up, the room door sounded. After confirming that the person outside the door was Xia Liu, she suddenly felt very happy, forgetting all that had happened. The moment she opened the door, Xia Liu was stunned. He saw Liu Lanxin wrapped in a bath towel, her hair wet and sticking to her clearly outlined face. "Look, sis, if you keep teasing me like this, I really might lose control," he said, diverting his gaze to one side and entering the room with two breakfasts in hand. Liu Lanxin looked down and her face instantly blushed. Indeed, her current appearance was very inviting. "Hehe, I believe you're an upright gentleman, so I'm not afraid." "Are you provoking me, or do you think I'm incapable?" Xia Liu detected two meanings in Liu Lanxin's words. Indeed, Liu Lanxin truly couldn't figure out whether Xia Liu was impotent or not. Why, in the video recorded by the camera, she was naked and took the initiative, yet this guy actually pushed her away! Could it be that she didn't arouse his interest? Liu Lanxin was nearly out of confidence, but then she thought about it and assured herself that there was no problem with her body or looks. The problem could only lie with Xia Liu. "I didn't say anything, thank you for breakfast." After a bitter smile, Liu Lanxin picked up the breakfast Xia Liu had bought and started eating. She hadn't eaten anything since last night, and if she didn't fill her stomach now, she was going to faint from hunger. After eating, Xia Liu wanted to leave first, but Liu Lanxin wouldn't allow it. "If you dare to leave, I'll go to Osmanthus Village and tell everyone that you drugged and knocked me out," Liu Lanxin threatened, holding the camera. "This..." Xia Liu was stunned. What was this all about; what on earth did this chick want to do? He could snatch the camera, but he didn't. He didn't leave immediately because he wanted to see what this chick was up to! "Cut the crap and go buy me a set of clothes, inner and outer layers all included." "After I buy them, can we delete the video?" Xia Liu was actually pretty worried, after all, the video contained scenes of him kissing Liu Lanxin. If this chick took a screenshot of the video and spread the pictures, there would surely be many people talking about him. If he had actually done something, perhaps it wouldn't matter, but the problem was that he hadn't. Getting stigmatized without enjoying any mutton, well, that's gotta be a first. Just buy them. The moment Xia Liu left, Liu Lanxin transferred the memory card from the camera to her phone and backed up the video. Of course, she wasn't going to let the photos circulate; she backed up Xia Liu's video just to preserve memories. Xia Liu returned in twenty minutes, and per the chick's instructions, he bought clothes for both the inside and outside. Liu Lanxin promptly tossed the camera to Xia Liu. Enjoy exclusive content from empire While Liu Lanxin was in the bathroom getting dressed, Xia Liu, after confirming the video on the camera, removed the memory card. How could he possibly delete the video; watching this chick when he was bored wasn't a bad idea, especially since she was not wearing anything at all. Neither of them deleted the video, sharing a similar mindset. By the time they left the hotel, it was already afternoon. Xia Liu had initially planned to settle accounts with Liu Chen. But the front desk lady told him that Liu Chen had run off with his girlfriend in the early hours of the morning. Liu Lanxin didn't care; she already understood the situation and resolved to have her father stand up for her when she got home. After a quick lunch, Xia Liu drove to where the boats were sold. "You're buying a fishing boat?" Indeed, Liu Lanxin was still with Xia Liu. Xia Liu had tried to send her away, but she didn't leave, so he had no choice but to bring this chick along to buy the boat. "Yes." "I know the owner here; I'll ask him to give you a discount." "Really? Thank you so much, Miss Liu." Xia Liu hadn't expected this chick to know the boat seller as well, which likely meant he wouldn't get ripped off. To be honest, Xia Liu was quite a novice with fishing boats. His urgency to buy was solely based on his financial situation. "Look at you acting silly, afraid of getting tricked." "You actually hit the nail on the head." "Can you stop joking around? You're so wealthy, and I'm about to wire over another hundred million to you..." Liu Lanxin was rather speechless, as others might not know, but she was very clear. Xia Liu, despite driving a BMW, had a wealth that was astonishingly large. Just counting the Beauty Mud deal alone, the amount of money she had transferred to him was already over three hundred million...
