Chen Feng frowned and asked bluntly: "You deliberately seduce me, for what reason? It can't be that you actually like me, right? Or do you want some benefit from me?"

Ni Yuhua took a deep breath, restraining the urge to slap Chen Feng, and then showed a helpless expression, saying, "I have no choice, that's why I'm doing this to you."

"No choice? What do you mean no choice?" Chen Feng looked at her, puzzled.

Ni Yuhua took another deep breath before saying, "Guoxiang was set up and lost two million in gambling. We don't have that kind of money to pay off the debt, so we had to flee from our hometown to escape it. So, after much thinking, I decided to borrow money from you to pay off the debt. Otherwise, we can't even go back to our hometown.

It's okay for the two of us adults, but we still have our son to take care of back home. He's only six years old; temporarily leaving him with my parents is fine, but not for long. He hasn't been away from me for too long since he was born..."

"Alright, alright." Chen Feng interrupted impatiently, "You should know that your husband and I were only elementary school classmates. Our relationship is just average. Before now, I hadn't seen or contacted him in over ten years. Do you really think I would just lend him two million to pay off gambling debts out of the blue?"

Ni Yuhua gave a bitter smile and said, "I also know it's too much to ask, but I... I can accompany you, you know, as long as you agree to lend us the money, I can stay with you for a while."

Chen Feng was truly fed up with her, wanting to say: Do you think you're worth two million?

Saying such a thing would be really hurtful, so Chen Feng held back.

"Sorry, I don't have that kind of money to lend you," Chen Feng refused outright, then asked, "I'm also curious, is this your husband's idea, your idea, or both of yours?"

"It's my idea. Guoxiang, being a man, could never agree to me doing this."

Chen Feng nodded: "I can't help with this. You'd better find someone else."

Chen Feng had little interest in Chen Guoxiang's gambling debt issues and didn't even bother to ask carefully.

The main thing was that their relationship was really just average. Even though they had dinner together last night and had a lively conversation, one meal couldn't make them good friends, let alone make him casually lend him two million. Money isn't spent like that.

Chen Feng was about to leave again when Ni Yuhua, somewhat angrily, quickened her pace, grabbed him, and asked, "Chen Feng, am I not pretty? Do you really have no interest in me at all?"

She was really upset. Although she wasn't as stunning as those beauties, plenty of people had their eyes on her.

Especially after people knew Chen Guoxiang was her husband, many men who considered themselves better looking than him tried to make advances on her through various opportunities.

Their hardware store business also benefited from these men who were interested in her.

However, she had always been loyal, only occasionally being a bit ambiguous verbally, without any physical contact, let alone doing anything to betray Chen Guoxiang.

This time, she had finally made up her mind to actively seduce Chen Feng, but it hadn't worked several times.

Last night, Chen Feng rejected her hints and seduction, which could be attributed to him fearing a setup or her being clingy. But now she had made things very clear, and Chen Feng was still unmoved, which was undoubtedly an insult to her.

Chen Feng, held by her arm, was certainly not pleased and said coldly, "Do you really want me to be honest? Do you think you're worth two million?"

This was quite hurtful to hear, but deep down, Ni Yuhua also knew she wasn't worth that much. Yet, being truly furious, and just to borrow the money, she gritted her teeth and explained, "It's not what you think. I really just want to borrow money instead of you giving me two million for free."

"Do you think if I lend you two million, you could pay it back? Even if you could, how long would it take, two years, five years, or ten years?"

Ni Yuhua explained, "We can mortgage our house to you. Our house is worth about 1.5 million in the market now, although we only paid tens of thousands as a down payment when we bought it. Additionally, we can mortgage our hardware store to you; this store can earn us at least two to three hundred thousand a year. Anyway, we'll definitely work hard to earn and repay the money."

Chen Feng was, of course, unimpressed by her words and said ambiguously, "Alright, I'm really not interested."

After saying this, Chen Feng ignored her further, quickly taking large strides to his car, opening the driver's door, and getting inside.

To his surprise, Ni Yuhua opened the passenger door and directly got in as well.

Seeing her actions, Chen Feng was truly upset and directly cursed in his hometown dialect: "Do you think I am a fool, is this necessary? There are many rich people out there; why are you fixated on me?"

Ni Yuhua was desperate too, her face flushed red, and she directly loosened her collar, revealing much white skin, and turned to Chen Feng, gritting her teeth, "There may be many rich people, but I have my eyes on you, and other rich people might not be as generous as you. Instead of finding someone I don't like or don't know, I'd rather borrow from someone I have a good feeling about. I can pay upfront,"

As she spoke, she reached back and quickly undid the front strap, revealing her deep cleavage.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, eyes wide open, having thought it was a big apple, but it turned out to be a big pineapple. Sometimes just looking at appearances and not seeing the essence through the phenomenon can be very biased.

Ni Yuhua's sincerity in borrowing the money was truly evident.

After a long moment, Chen Feng finally looked away, adopting a righteous look and said seriously, "You don't need to do this."

Ni Yuhua's face was flushed, feeling a burning sensation on her face, mainly due to shame and pride.

Seeing Chen Feng look away, she immediately let go, pulling her shirt's long sleeves down and said in a faint tone, "I've done all this, can you give me a straight answer?"

Seeing her softening tone, Chen Feng found it hard to refuse and instead concernedly asked, "Exactly how did your husband lose two million? Who does he owe so much gambling debt to?"

Ni Yuhua said angrily, "Half a month ago, a dodgy friend of his said he'd take him to an underground casino. Initially, he didn't want to go, but the friend insisted, and he went. Initially, he didn't plan on gambling, but seeing others winning a lot of money in minutes, he couldn't resist and joined in, eventually getting dragged down, losing two million."
