Chapter 1574 - One Lie After Another (45)

"Ahem, ahem…" Mu Xiaoxiao coughed twice and blinked her eyes. She felt a little stunned and her expression looked a little awkward. She looked at the handsome boy in front of her with a face of complete disbelief, wondering if she had heard him wrongly.

Yes, yes, she must have heard him wrong!

Did he say "prostitute"? She must have heard him wrong.

She wanted to calm herself down and picked up her pickled plum juice for a drink. Unexpectedly, she choked on it.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem…" This time, her cough was even more violent.

The handsome boy smiled bitterly. "Are you alright?"

"I-I'm okay…" Mu Xiaoxiao waved a hand as she tried to clean her lips with a tissue. Her eyes were wide as she stared at him and her head was full of questions as she asked, "You said… you work as… ahem, a male escort?"

The handsome boy noticed that she used the euphemism and gathered that she was a well-brought-up and polite girl.

He nodded and admitted, "Yeah."

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened even more. Her lips were slightly parted as she stared at him.

The handsome boy asked, "Is it shocking?"

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded subconsciously. She paused for a moment before saying, "You… don't look like it. You really don't look like it. Why are you a…"

The handsome boy said calmly, "Because I lack money."

"…" This was a very practical answer and Mu Xiaoxiao did not know how to respond.

She said a little apologetically, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's alright." The handsome boy raised his wine glass and took a drink. His eyes were slightly narrowed and it was unclear if he was tasting the wine or thinking about something. After a while, he then said unhurriedly, "This is my first time admitting my occupation to someone else."

"Oh. Uh…" Should she thank him?

The atmosphere became slightly awkward.

The handsome boy put his wine glass down. "If you think I'm hateful, you can leave right now. I don't mind it."

Mu Xiaoxiao paused and shook her head. "I didn't say it was hateful. Occupations make no distinction between the wealthy and poor…"

She just did not expect that she would really meet a prostitute one day.

What was even more surprising was that she had met a real prostitute when she wanted to find one to make Yin Shaojie angry and lure him out.

Wait…

Oh yeah!

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled and her expression changed instantly. She asked, "Which brothel do you work at? Is it open right now?"

The handsome boy looked a little confused at the sudden excitement in her face.

However, he still answered her truthfully. "The brothel isn't open yet. Why are you asking?"

As for which brothel he worked at, he did not answer.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt disappointed. "As expected, brothels do not open this early."

"You want to visit a brothel? Why?" The handsome boy was puzzled. He was staring at her as though she was saying something strange.

A girl with such a pure countenance wanted to visit a brothel?

"Because… I want to go there to… have fun," Mu Xiaoxiao stammered.

"Have fun?" The handsome boy was shocked. "You want to go to a brothel for fun? Why?"

"Well…" Mu Xiaoxiao tugged at her hair and smiled awkwardly, unsure of how she should say this. "Would you believe me if I said that it's to broaden my horizons?"

The handsome boy gave her a look that said: What do you think?

Mu Xiaoxiao's expression changed to one of conviction. She said, "I really only want to see what it's like and broaden my horizons. I'm not lying to you."

Would he really take her to a brothel?
