One fateful night, Mu Nuanxin became the darling of the enigmatic Mr. Golden Mask. It is said that Mr. Golden Mask had the elusive nature of a dragon, only showing the surface and always hidden. Some even said he had a bloodthirsty and ruthless temperament, cruel and vicious to the extreme. Yet, he spoke to Mu Nuanxin in the gentlest way imaginable, "Woman, as long as you don't cross my boundaries, I can spoil you to the point of lawlessness!" Mu Nuanxin understood that his boundaries were the true face beneath the golden mask, but... "Who are you exactly, why do you proclaim love for me yet hide from me?" she asked in a cold tone. Yet, he chuckled and gently touched her nose, "Because it's not time yet!" The young master of the Mu family calculated every move, planned every step, using all means possible just to keep a woman tied to his side.
"Jingxi International", one of the three financial magnates in K City, although not as powerful as the first-rate Mu Tian Group in K City, stands equally with Yun's Corporation. Ye Yijing, the mastermind behind it all, at a young age, earthquaked the business world by swallowing up fringe SMEs one by one, solidifying its position as one of the top tycoons.
It's safe to say that Ye Yijing single-handedly established Jingxi International. At only twenty-nine, no one knew how he transformed or how he accomplished it, only pure, dazzling envy loomed in the air.
A luxurious private car stopped in front of Jingxi International, "Uncle Yuan, you have to send your daughter abroad, you don't have to worry about me anymore. I'll go back directly after delivering these documents to Yijing," said the woman who just got out of the car with a tranquil and clear voice.
“Miss Nuanxin, thank you”, the middle-aged driver was grateful, he had thought he would have to break his promise to his daughter again, because driving Mu Nuanxin is part of his duty.
Mu Nuanxin smiled warmly at him, and the moment she turned around, she subconsciously looked up at the golden signboard of "Jingxi International". Her beautiful face turned pale instantly, her heart stung slightly, the breeze blew her silky hair slipped behind her ears, a wordless sorrow emanated from her entire body.
With the rapidly elevating elevator, Mu Nuanxin's face gradually calmed down, a warm smile hung on her cherry-red lips.
"Secretary Lin, is Yijing inside?"
"Yes, the president said you can go in."
Ye Yijing's secretary was extremely unfriendly, casually glancing at Mu Nuanxin. Who doesn't know that Miss Mu is just one of the many lovers of the President? They are natural enemies.
The president didn't seem to favor her that much on normal days. In Secretary Lin's eyes, Mu Nuanxin is just a shameless woman who sticks to Ye Yijing for money. Does she think that by ingratiating herself with the president's grandmother, she can become the mistress of the Ye family? What an overestimation of her abilities.
Mu Nuanxin is used to this kind of attitude. She fully understands that Ye Yijing calls her over just to have her endure these cold stares, "Thank you".
Her humiliating attitude made Secretary Lin even more disdainful. Thinking of the good show that would follow, despite her discomfort, the thought of Mu Nuanxin's poor face made her rose-colored lips curve into a bizarre smile.
Mu Nuanxin adjusted herself a few times before showing her most heartwarming smile, knocking on the door, "Come in," a very low voice floated from inside.
"Yi, I don't care, you promised to buy me that diamond," the woman was wearing a bright red dress, with a fiery and enchanting figure, octopus-like draped over Ye Yijing, their posture was very intimate.
The man's long fingers were playing with the woman's dry and yellow hair, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, but upon hearing the faint footsteps, he retracted his displeasure well.
The man's hand reached out, pulling open the woman's clothes over her chest where signs of springtime were vaguely visible. The woman gave a shy gasp, leaning even more deeply into the man's embrace, basking in the warmth his palm brought to her chest.
Mu Nuanxin's breath hitched slightly, a pang in her heart as if a million hands were clenching it ruthlessly. The warmth within her seemed to drain away bit by bit.
"Yi Jing, here are the documents you asked for."
Setting the documents on the table, she turned to leave, feeling out of place in this moment. Yet, she hesitated.
"The words you said last night, I thought about it, if this is what you wish, I am willing to leave."
Having said her piece, she walked out without looking back. She had spent the best six years of her life, trading them for a love she would never receive. That was enough.
Watching her retreating figure, Yi Jing's eyes narrowed dangerously, his hand clenching hard. "Ah, you hurt me," the woman on his lap cried out in pain.
"Get out," Yi Jing shoved the woman off him. His ice-cold words were so harsh they nearly made her faint. She said no more, quickly fixing her clothes and fleeing from his office in a hurry.
Mu Nuanxin, do you think everything would end if you leave? You're dreaming. Yi Jing's handsome face twisted, filled with malevolent fury.
