In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 116: Interest Comes Due

So, without thinking, he had leapt over and only to realize that Yue Mingxuan had not noticed him at all.

Seeing that Shang Qinghua still did not speak, Yue Mingxuan began to panic slightly.

Every time he encountered this perverted men, he would lost money.

The one thousand taels of gold Concubine Hua had just given him had not even had time to warm up inside the bracelet.

Surely, it would not be extorted away again, right?

With that thought, Yue Mingxuan subconsciously pulled the jade bracelet deeper into his sleeve.

Watching this small movement, Shang Qinghua immediately understood.

It seemed that Yue Mingxuan had obtained another sum of money from somewhere.

Judging by how nervous he looked, it was probably not a small amount.

Shang Qinghua remained silent and just watching him with an amused gaze.

In Yue Mingxuan’s eyes, it was as if those round golden ingots were waving goodbye to him.

So, he decided that before Shang Qinghua could extort him, he would escape first.

With an awkward laugh, Yue Mingxuan slowly backed away.

"Prince Shang, take your time walking around... I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving now."

Seeing Yue Mingxuan try to flee, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Shang Qinghua’s lips.

Even the most obedient little cat would grow rebellious if left alone too long.

"About the matter of interest..."

As soon as Shang Qinghua spoke, Yue Mingxuan let out a silent sigh in his heart.

He had known it, the money borrowed from this perverted men was never easy to repay.

While gritting his teeth, he decided to take part of the one thousand taels of gold given by Concubine Hua and use it to pay off some of the debt first.

With a flattering smile on his face, Yue Mingxuan took out a banknote worth two hundred taels of gold and walked up to Shang Qinghua.

"Prince Shang," he said carefully, "I happen to have a little extra money on hand recently. Why don’t I repay part of what I owe you first?"

Shang Qinghua raised his eyebrow slightly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Yue Mingxuan immediately acted even more obedient and handed the banknote over with both hands.

Shang Qinghua glanced at the amount.

Very good.

It seemed that even without him, Yue Mingxuan had other ways to get money.

However, when the thought crossed his mind that this money might have come from Rong Tieshan, a trace of displeasure floated through his heart.

Without any courtesy, he took the banknote and put it away without even looking at it again.

Yue Mingxuan watched eagerly as Shang Qinghua stored the banknote.

Although it hurt to part with the money, he still felt relieved.

Like ants moving house, as long as he kept paying little by little, the debt would eventually be cleared.

Seeing the way Yue Mingxuan secretly let out a breath of relief, a sudden mischievous thought rose in Shang Qinghua’s mind.

He cleared his throat and said slowly, "I won’t charge you the small change for the clothes. But aside from the money for opening the shop last time, you still owe me one thousand three hundred taels of gold."

When Yue Mingxuan heard this, his mind was instantly filled with only four words: this was simply bullying!

A stream of words burst out of his mouth without any thought at all.

"Shang Qinghua, let me tell you, don’t push people too far! When did I ever owe you this much money? You’ve extorted me so many times and I didn’t even argue with you! You should know that even a rabbit will bite when they are cornered—"

This was the first time Shang Qinghua had ever seen Yue Mingxuan lose his rationality.

Because of some unpleasant past experiences, Yue Mingxuan was always careful and restrained in front of him, as if something was missing.

Now, seeing this side of him who is angry, shouting, and stamping his feet Shang Qinghua suddenly felt that this Yue Mingxuan was more real.

Only after shouting out that long string of words did Yue Mingxuan realize what he had just done.

Heaven above! He had actually yelled at Shang Qinghua.

This man was not only ruthless with money, but also extremely vengeful.

Worst of all, he had a group of highly skilled hidden guards under his command.

What madness had possessed him just now?

Risking his life for money was never his style. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Shang Qinghua did not speak.

He only looked at Yue Mingxuan and that look clearly said, "Go on. Bite me, then."

The moment Yue Mingxuan met that gaze, a chill ran straight down his spine.

He really should have sealed his mouth shut with tape the moment he saw this man.

What was he supposed to do now?

He forced a flattering smile onto his face and said weakly, "Prince Shang, please be generous and forgive a small person like me. Can you just treat what I said earlier like a fart and let it go?"

Shang Qinghua frowned slightly.

Was he really that frightening?

It seemed that only money could bring out this person’s true nature.

"I will come to collect the interest tonight."

After throwing down those words, Shang Qinghua turned around and left.

The obedient and timid Yue Mingxuan now looked just like the countless dull women in the palace and suddenly felt boring to him.

Yue Mingxuan let out a heavy sigh.

For some reason, his mind drifted back to that kiss from last time.

When Shang Qinghua said he was coming to collect interest, he would not be planning to force another kiss, would he?

Just thinking about it made goosebumps rise all over his body.

He made up his mind that tonight he would lock every entrance to his courtyard tightly.

Being forcibly kissed by a handsome man might sound nice, but he truly could not afford it.

After an exhausting night, Yue Mingxuan returned to his room. He then collapsed onto the bed and falling asleep instantly.
