Early in the morning, sunlight shone through the window and scattered light through the previously dim room. The brightness soon led to a disturbance of the peaceful atmosphere in the room.

Jiang Youyou's almond-shaped eyes were dull as she stared at the man beside her for a moment.

She was completely dumbfounded at the sight.

"Ah!"

The two strangers screamed at the same time.

Outside the door, two servants were slowly pushing the cleaning cart when they were shocked by the screams. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Mrs. Lin had said that even if someone died in V888, it would be none of their business.

One servant urged the other, "Hurry up and leave. We didn't hear anything."

Meanwhile, Jiang Youyou had kicked the man away and shouted, "Is there anyone here? Help! There's a pervert!" Lin Yao's mind had blanked from the kick. He flopped on the ground, trying to recall what had happened the night before.

He vaguely remembered that when he had just returned to the country, his family had gone to the airport to welcome him. He had accidentally had too much wine and... After that... His memory failed him.

Had he blacked out?

"Someone come, please! There's... a pervert! Help! A pervert!"

Jiang Youyou continued to scream while trying too to recall what had happened the previous night.

She only remembered that she had dinner with her parents. Later... She must have fainted because she did not remember anything else. Until the moment she woke up and saw...

Her mouth was suddenly covered. Lin Yao warned her sternly, "Let's make things clear before you scream again."

"It was clearly you—"

Lin Yao cut her off, "Look, I don't know you at all. I'm the one who should ask why you are here."

"I had dinner with my family last night, but later—"

Before she could finish her words, there was a loud bang. The door shook three times before the sound of a card being swiped came.

Lin Yao immediately covered the two of them with a quilt, only revealing their heads to whoever was barging into their room...

Two women came in... Oddly enough, one was Jiang Youyou's mother, Su Yu. The other was Lin Yao's mother, Chu Qing.

Su Yu screamed with the same decibel as her daughter: "My God, what did you do? You... You two?"

Mrs. Lin pointed at Lin Yao and scolded, "You little b*stard, look at what you have done."

Su Yu choked with sobs. "What should I do? I didn't raise my daughter just so a man could have his way with her."

Mrs. Lin comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll make the man marry your daughter."

After that, they supported each other and left, leaving the man and the woman in question at a loss.

That morning was too outlandish. What was going on? Had they been caught by both their mothers on the spot after sleeping with each other?

Jiang Youyou turned her face and met Lin Yao's eyes. He clearly saw the complicated and desperate expression on her face, but in the next second, she fiercely lifted her leg and was ready to kick him hard again.

Fortunately, Lin Yao reacted quickly and grabbed her ankle.

"Are you trying to cripple me?"

Jiang Youyou was not one to mince words. "Yes."

Lin Yao wanted to laugh, but he held back and said with no expression on his face, "After the first kick, comes the second, huh?"

Jiang Youyou spoke in a calm tone as if she was recounting the truth. "You know what? Even if we've slept together, I won't marry you. I mean, who knows what you're up to? You're just coveting my family property and my beauty."

Lin Yao let go of her ankle and chuckled. "Don't worry. Hell will freeze over before I marry you."

Jiang Youyou glanced at him quickly. What caught her eye was the man's white chest and the mark on his collarbone... It was too eye-catching.

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Youyou also felt a little guilty. "Glad to hear that."

As time ticked by, the atmosphere became more and more awkward. At the thought that the two of them had stayed in the same room for a whole night... Both their faces turned red.

Lin Yao ordered Jiang Youyou, "You can leave now."

"Excuse me?" Hearing his tone, Jiang Youyou was burning with anger. "No, you can leave now. Leave me your bank account number and I'll transfer a million to you as a tip."

"I'll give you five million. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

Jiang Youyou found it funny. "Five million is a pittance. Why don't you give me five hundred million? I promise I'll keep my mouth shut."

Lin Yao mumbled, "Are you getting out of bed or not?"

"Not!"

"Okay, that's what you said."

Lin Yao suddenly ripped the quilt away from her. But having done so, Lin Yao momentarily froze.

On the white sheet was a glaring bloodstain, which looked like a blooming rose. 

She immediately grabbed the quilt and wrapped herself tightly. Her eyes might have turned red with fear, but she was still unwilling to admit defeat. "This early in the morning and already your boozy behavior is showing?"

"I... I..." Lin Yao's gaze was about to burn a hole in the bedsheet.

"Turn around. You can't turn back without my permission."

Lin Yao suddenly became as obedient as a puppy.

Jiang Youyou lifted her foot, about to dash from the room, when, suddenly, the man's voice came from behind her: "Actually, you... Uh, I..."

She stopped, looking forward to the continuation of his words. "What are you trying to say?"

Lin Yao gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Nothing..."

Jiang Youyou sneered and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

As soon as she went out, two strong women bundled her up and to another room. She opened the door to see a group of 7 or 8 people inside.

Much to Jiang Youyou's surprise. "Hey! What are you doing? What are you doing?"

She had the urge wanted to pinch herself and see if this was a dream. However, she was firmly pinned down and could not move.

"What the f*ck!"

As soon as she opened her mouth to curse, she was thrown into the bathtub.

After she left, Lin Yao got out of bed calmly and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The water kept flowing, taking the edge off the fatigue seeping through his pores. Soon, only the red marks on his body that would probably disappear in a few days were left behind.

There were many women who wanted to marry him and there were also many women who wanted to sleep with him to climb up the social ladder. However, he had never dreamed that he would encounter such a dramatic scenario. Thinking of how last night his father had raised one-too-many toasts to him with numerous glasses of liquor, he frowned slightly.

After turning off the shower, the bathroom suddenly became quiet. He wrapped a bath towel around his waist, walked to the front of the mirror, and reached out to wipe the fog from the mirror.

The man's face was well-defined, and his chin was covered with stubble. The muscles on his body were strong and tough. No matter where one looked at him, he was perfect.

He held his chin in his hand and thought. He couldn't figure out what that woman was shouting about when he was so handsome.

Lin Yao glanced at the service card on the bedside table. Oh, it turned out to be his own hotel...

He dialed the service phone and said, "I'm Lin Yao. Send my clothes up, thanks."

Five minutes later, someone immediately knocked on the door and brought the clothes. They were all his usual brands, as if they had been prepared in advance.

As soon as Lin Yao got dressed and went out, two intimidating men suddenly appeared at the door and stared at him.
