5: Chapter 5 Take Responsibility for Me

Lin Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is it that you're the one who suffered a loss?"

"Clearly, it was my first time..."

Fu Mingxiu frowned and interrupted her, his voice deep. "It was my first time too."

"Everyone's first time is precious. Just because you feel like you lost out, does that mean I didn't?!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

She was speechless. It was the first time she'd ever heard of a man feeling like he'd suffered a loss after dedicating his first time.

Fu Mingxiu curled his thin lips, his tone cold and indifferent. "Besides, if you hadn't gone to the wrong room, I wouldn't have lost my innocence. In any case, the fault lies with you. You should think carefully about how you're going to be responsible for me."

Lin Yuan: "?!!"

She was dumbfounded. She had thought that if she didn't make this man take responsibility, she could just write it off. She never expected him to ask her to be responsible?! She had never seen a man ask a woman to be responsible. Novels wouldn't even dare to write it like this.

Lin Yuan hadn't considered this possibility; her mind went blank. "How do you want me to be responsible?!"

Could he be wanting money?! She was poor, penniless, where would she get money to give him?

Fu Mingxiu: "Think for yourself. What will you use to be responsible for me?"

Lin Yuan gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and adopted a 'let it be' attitude. "I have no money, but I have a life."

(Actually, she didn't want to give her life either.)

Fu Mingxiu: "What would I do with your life? How much is your life worth?"

Lin Yuan: "..."

She pouted. "If you don't want my life, then what do you want from me?"

"I have nothing."

Fu Mingxiu looked at her, narrowed his eyes, and sized her up, seemingly contemplating something.

Seeing his gaze, Lin Yuan couldn't help but get nervous, her hands instinctively shielding her chest. "You don't... want to do it with me again, do you?"

"You just said that for this week, I can't have... relations with a man..."

Fu Mingxiu: "I didn't say we were doing it now."

Lin Yuan choked. "Then when are we doing it?"

Fu Mingxiu was silent for a moment. "When do you want to do it?"

Lin Yuan: "..."

What the hell, he actually wanted to do it with her? Was he short of women? Why did he have to do it with her? Was she that good in bed? But since she was the one at fault, she couldn't easily refuse a man's request.

Lin Yuan's face flushed as red as blood. "At the very least, we have to wait until my body recovers..."

Fu Mingxiu took out his phone. "Contact information."

Lin Yuan: "Huh?"

Fu Mingxiu: "Your contact information."

Lin Yuan understood. He wanted to wait until she recovered, then contact her, and then...

Blushing, she recited eleven digits. "188****"

Fu Mingxiu said nothing, inputting the eleven digits Lin Yuan gave into his phone, then pressed call.

Almost the next second, a ringtone sounded in the car.

"Late, late!"

"You're going to be late for work!"

"The early bird gets the worm!"

"Are you getting up? Are you getting up? If you don't get up, you'll starve!"

Fu Mingxiu glanced at Lin Yuan's small white bag; the ringtone was coming from inside. This ringtone... was quite childish.

Lin Yuan was incredibly embarrassed, hurriedly digging her phone out of her white bag and desperately cutting off the call.

She asked with a red face, "Why did you suddenly call me?"

Fu Mingxiu spoke coolly. "I was just confirming whether the number you gave was your phone number."

In case she just gave him a fake number, how would he contact her? But he really didn't expect her to actually dare to give her real phone number. Could it be that she really wanted to do it with him again?

Lin Yuan bit her lip. "I'm a relatively responsible person. Since the fault is on my side, I won't shirk my responsibility."

Fu Mingxiu raised an eyebrow slightly, noncommittal.

He pulled a business card from the car's storage compartment and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Under her puzzled gaze, he explained softly, "My business card."

Lin Yuan took the man's business card. It was a pure black card with a nice texture, embossed with gold lettering and a phone number.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but read it out. "Fu... Ming... xiu..."

"Your name is Fu Mingxiu?"

Fu Mingxiu scanned her with his eyes. It seemed she had recognized his identity. After all, his name was thunderous in Jing City; not many people wouldn't know him.

However, Fu Mingxiu was overthinking it. Lin Yuan just felt his name was familiar, but she didn't recognize his status.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Your name is quite rare."

"But this surname is exactly the same as the Fu family, the number one noble family in Jing City. I wonder what relation you have to them."

Fu Mingxiu: "..."

He frowned and looked at Lin Yuan, asking, "You really didn't recognize me?"

Lin Yuan: "?!"

With a face full of question marks, as if to say, 'Who are you? Why should I recognize you?'

Fu Mingxiu narrowed his dark eyes. Did she really not recognize his identity, or was she pretending?

Lin Yuan, unable to wait for the man's answer, curiously asked again, "By the way, do you have any relation to this Fu family or not?"

Fu Mingxiu: "I have a relation."

Lin Yuan's eyes gradually widened. "Then you are..."

Before she could finish, the man spoke up. "A completely unrelated connection."

Lin Yuan: "..."

You're quite the comedian! But she had thought this man in front of her was some noble young master, but it turned out he was nothing. Then again, what noble young master would ask a penniless girl to be responsible? That didn't make sense.

Fu Mingxiu: "Save my phone number."

Lin Yuan was stunned again. "Ah?"

Fu Mingxiu really wondered if this woman had some hearing impairment. "Save my phone number."

Lin Yuan: "..."

He saved her number, that was fine, but why did she have to save his? She didn't have any needs from him. Even so, she picked up her phone and saved the number that had just called her. What should she save it as?! One-night stand partner? Or the man who needs to be responsible? Thinking about it, none of it seemed right, so she just saved it under his original name, Fu Mingxiu.

Fu Mingxiu saw from his peripheral vision that Lin Yuan had dutifully saved his name, and his eyebrows lifted nonchalantly. "Have you applied medicine?"

Lin Yuan turned her head, unable to react for a moment. "What medicine?"

Fu Mingxiu tapped the steering wheel with his well-defined fingers. "That place of yours, have you applied medicine?"

Lin Yuan understood, and her face flushed red again. Was it polite for him to ask her so directly? Could he be wanting to help her apply medicine? No, no, absolutely not!

"Um, I'll apply it when I get home, you don't need to bother..."

Seeing her ears turn bright red from shyness, and the way she couldn't help but lower her head, Fu Mingxiu's eyes darkened a bit.

"Of course, if you don't know how to apply it, I can do it for free. After all, I'm responsible for that place of yours getting hurt."

Lin Yuan hurriedly refused, "No need, no need, I can do it myself!"

Fu Mingxiu raised an eyebrow, teasing her on purpose. "Are you sure... you know how to apply it?"

Lin Yuan stammered, "Yes, I know how..."

Even if she didn't, she had to say she did. She couldn't really let him help her apply it, right?! That would be too awkward.

Fu Mingxiu gave a hum and didn't force the issue. Then, he stepped on the gas and started the car.

Lin Yuan hadn't recovered yet, and her heart jumped again. "Where are you driving to?"

Fu Mingxiu: "Sending you home."

Lin Yuan subconsciously refused, "No need, I'll go back myself."

Fu Mingxiu saw that Lin Yuan was guarding against him, and his thin lips moved. "Rest assured, before that place of yours is completely healed, I won't do anything to you."

Lin Yuan: "..."

Fu Mingxiu: "Your home address."

Finally, Lin Yuan told him where she lived.
