    Fang Ran got drunk and spent the night passionately entangled with a strange man on a hotel bed. The next day, she slipped away before the man woke up. Later, Fang Ran crashed into a limited-edition luxury car. When Fang Ran confronted the owner about compensation, the owner turned out to be the stranger from that night—his real identity was Han Yanzhou, the heir to the Haicheng mansion. Demanded 13.14 Million yuan in compensation, Fang Ran frankly admitted she couldn't afford it. Han Yanzhou, with an ambiguous expression, lifted her chin, "Marry me, and the compensation and that night will be wiped clean." Aside from paying the debt with her body, Fang Ran had no choice. "Can we keep it a secret for now?" Han Yanzhou smiled, "Sure, but I have a condition too." "You must share a bed and have marital relations every night." Fang Ran blushed and bit her lip; such an obvious hint left her no right to refuse. * After the marriage, her unsuspecting best friend pointed at Han Yanzhou and warned Fang Ran, "He's allergic to women, stay away from him." The next second, Fang Ran was pinned against the steering wheel and kissed passionately by Han Yanzhou. Fang Ran asked doubtfully, "Are you really allergic to women?" Han Yanzhou smiled, "Yes, but I'm not allergic to you touching me." * Later, Fang Ran began her long "debt repayment journey," but the debt only seemed to grow. She owed him eight times for pleading for his sister. Thirty times for pleading for his bodyguard. Eighty times for pleading for his brother... The debt for car repairs hadn't been paid off yet, and now so many more had been added. Fang Ran broke down in tears, "This debt will never be paid off!" Han Yanzhou hugged her and comforted her, "Want to pay it off? It's simple, just give me a baby." (This is a scene from a story about everyday life.)
