Ye Zhi asked while lifting the quilt to get out of bed, "Are you really never going back to the brothel again?"
Gong Juechen responded quickly, "Mhm mhm! I'll never go again! Even if you beat me to death, I won't go!"
Only then did Ye Zhi walk to the door and open it.
As soon as the door was opened, Gong Juechen wanted to hug Ye Zhi and give her a kiss, but Ye Zhi pushed him away with disdain, "You smell like the makeup and perfumes from that place!"
"Then wait a bit, I'll go take a bath and be back!" Gong Juechen stuffed thirty thousand tael silver notes into Ye Zhi's hand, then turned and quickly ran off to bathe.
Before Ye Zhi could even react, Gong Juechen had already disappeared from her sight.
Unable to help it, Ye Zhi felt a bit conflicted; looking down, with the illumination of the lanterns outside and the moonlight, at the thirty thousand tael silver notes in her hand, Ye Zhi felt even more conflicted.
Nonetheless, she still left the door open for Gong Juechen.
