Chapter 10: Nude makes you look wealthy

Young Master Ryan has been waiting for almost twenty five minutes in the cold weather. He had gone in and out of his car a couple of times to see if she was coming out anytime soon but each time, he's met with a closed gate.

"Isn't she coming anymore? Or is this her way of punishing me for cheating? How dare sh–" before he could finish, he heard the creaking sound of the metal bar gates.

Ryan quickly got down from his car and was dazed when Lisa came out of the house.

"Wow," he couldn't help but marvel at the sight in front of him.

The body was giving!

"Em… You look beautiful," he managed to utter after a long time of ogling at her.

She sneered and replied, "Or you want to enter the honeypot?"

"Huh?" Ryan didn't get her intimation.

"You complimented my looks but your eyes are stuck on my chest. You're almost drooling, you cheating bastard!" She gave him a disgusted look and entered the car.

Ryan was flabbergasted for a long time. Indeed, he's been desperate to have her for years but each time that he thought he was getting closer to eat the forbidden fruit, the tree gets taller.

"Are you going to remain stuck outside?"

Her curt words snapped his mind back to reality before he entered the car.

"Lisa, your words are too heavy sometimes. Can you weigh them before you speak from now on?"

"You should have thought of that before screwing other women and still nursing the effrontery to want to be with me." If not for the fact that her family was facing a problem, they wouldn't be having this conversation.

"Lisa," he shut his eyes and tried to rein in whatever he was feeling at the moment, to bring serenity into the car. "I couldn't help it. She looked pitiful and–"

"It's getting late. If you suddenly don't know how to drive anymore, let me get down and head back in… I have no money to give out to random people for ransom." Didn't her family say there were kidnappers? She didn't want to be kidnapped and waste the little money left in the family.

Ryan glanced at her. Seeing she was looking out the window, he swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat and started the car.

…

At Kai's home…

All it takes to achieve an expensive looking sitting room without being rich is simply to paint the walls white or cream colored, nude furniture, and curtains… And nude flooring.

This secret was one that Ms. Katherine didn't forget to apply in her sitting room. Even though she was a middle class woman, those in her class and lower would debate with her and call her a low-key wealthy woman. Her sitting room might be small and portable, but the interior decor would wow anyone…Including, Mr. Yun.

The man looked around the wealthy looking room before glancing at Ms. Katherine who was returning from the kitchen with a white tea cup. It seemed she liked white a lot.

"So, this is where you spend the allowance I allocate to you monthly?"

"Excuse me?" the woman frowned. She didn't understand what he was talking about and carefully placed the teacup on the glass center table.

"I send you money every month for your essential needs and you put everything into making your house look wealthy?"

Ms. Katherine glanced around the sitting room and smiled. "Wow, you mean this? Nothing is wealthy at all. Kai told me white and cream colors make a house look more than average, so I took her advice. None of the furniture is expensive."

Mr. Yun glanced skeptically at her for a moment before looking away. Whether she spends on irrelevant things or not has nothing to do with him. He won't add a dime to what he sends them for upkeep every month.

"I made you your favorite tea," she gestured for him to sit down.

"Is there no one else in the house?"

"I sent the servant home and as for Kai, she must be in her room."

"Then get her here, I came here to see her not to drink some tea."

Ms. Katherine nodded and walked away. Soon, she returned with a lethargic Kaizer dragging his feet behind her. Getting to the sitting room, he leaned on the passageway's door frame with hands folded on his chest.

His nonchalance and calmness made all the words he wanted to say stuck at the back of his throat for a moment. However, thinking about the event of the day and what it has done to his family, the man cleared his throat and manned up.

"Katherine, didn't you say she'd come to the party in a dress? Why did she come there as a transgender?"

Ms. Katherine was already expecting this, so she replied. "It's not what you think. Kai is not a transgender. You can't believe those people spreading false rumors about her. She loves male outfits. Abroad, such people are called tomboy or cross dressers. It's wrong, but not as bad as you think."

The man's gaze didn't stray from Kai for a moment. He wanted to be angry: he came here with anger, but now, seeing this child, he suddenly felt inferior for whatever reason.

"Are you tired of being an embarrassment to–"

"No," Kai quietly and curtly cut him off.

That reply was as if a bomb went off on Mr. Yun. He wasn't expecting that. How could a man of authority like him be able to bear that disrespect?

"Did you hear that?" He pointed at Kai with his eyes on Ms. Katherine who also looked shocked.

The man returned his gaze to Kai and started rambling on and on. "Today was the last chance I offered you because of the good relationship I had with your mother. Since you don't value it, then you can't blame me for my next action."

"President Yun, wh– what are you talking about!" Ms. Katherine stood in front of her son– a stance to protect him like she had always done.

The man looked at the mother and 'daughter'. He was disappointed at the same time, angry. So he spat, "She has to return abroad. I can't have her here anymore."
