The night was dark and ambiguous.

The pitch-dark room, devoid of light, ominously quiet.

The door opened, and the light shone alongside.

Cha Yanxi, who had been in the dark for a long time, instinctively shielded her eyes due to the sudden brightness.

She wore an almost transparent pink lace nightgown, beautifully revealing her curvaceous figure. Her skin was as white as snow, smooth and fair.

Her pure eyes seemed like a fairy who had accidentally arrived in the mortal world, nervous yet alluring.

Three people walked into the room. Among them was a woman, her face radiant with a regal aura.

She stared at Cha Yanxi, who was still dazed on the bed frustration written all over her face. "Why are you dawdling? Why don't you go help?" She scolded.

The woman held a drunken man with one hand, his head leaning on the shoulder of a man in a black suit beside him.

It was difficult to see his face, his features cast into shadow.

Perhaps it was due to the effects of alcohol. His shirt collar was pulled open, revealing a glimpse of his perfect body exposed to the air.

Squinting, one could distinguish a mature, elegant silhouette. His deep, chiseled face exuded a lethal attraction.

"Alright, perform well tonight. If you can't manage to get him to touch you, then our deal is void," the regal woman declared without any expression.

Biting her lip, Cha Yanxi obediently nodded.

Shortly after, they were the only two people left in the spacious room. She looked at the bed with hesitation and started to walk towards it...

The room was dimly lit, a man's chestnut hair glowed with a cold light under the illumination. His angular masculine features radiated an aura of dominance, his eyes were tightly shut, shadows playing on his thin lips, prominent nose, and thick brows.

This man was none other than the current president of the Shangguan Group, Shangguan Yi.

Managing such a large company at such a young age must not be an easy task.

However, a few days ago, due to her gambling addicted father's debt of half a million in usurious loans, she was cornered by a group of thugs at her home.

They only gave her a ten-day deadline, threatening to sell her and her sister to a nightclub to offset the debt if she could not gather 500,000 yuan within ten days.

Half a million, how could she possibly repay it in only ten days.

But with her younger sister still in school, she must protect her at all costs.

Suddenly, she heard from her neighbors that the Shangguan family was looking for a clean girl to be a surrogate mother. As long as she could bear a child for the Shangguan family, she'd receive two million in cash! Moreover, the down payment was exactly 500,000 yuan!

Xia Yanni was very hesitant. Was she really going to sell her body for the sake of money? Moreover, she would have to sell her first child to someone else.

She was in agony, but reality did not allow for hesitation.

After a rigorous screening process, she finally got approved. Today was the day of “harvesting seeds.”

She hadn't much experience with something of this nature, so Mrs. Shangguan had her watch many instructional tapes about the process a few days in advance. She clearly understood her job.

Biting her lips, she slowly walked to the man's side and helped him unbutton his shirt.

As his shirt opened, so did the showcasing of the strong muscles beneath.

Xia Yanni blushed at the sight of his robust physique and turned her eyes away in shyness.

At that moment, Shangguan Yi opened his eyes, suddenly grabbing her by the waist from her side of the bed, rolling over so that she ended up underneath his large, muscular body.

His strong physique pressed tightly against her petite frame, a scorching heat seeping through the thin fabric that separated their bodies, his intense masculine scent filled her nostrils.

A wave of dizziness swept over her, causing Yi Xi to close her eyes lightly. Her instinct was to push away the enormous form pressing down on her, but remembering her mission, her hand ended up resting on his shoulder.

She was here for one purpose only - wasn’t it to seduce the man in front of her?

A bitter smile crossed her anguished face, her long eyelashes quivering like a dying butterfly. Her small hand tentatively touched his muscular chest…

Every touch sent a warm heat through her hand, painting a flush across her cheeks. She closed her eyes, caressing his chest perplexedly, her small hand against his abs.

Her movements triggered a response from him.

His profound eyes took in the sight of the girl, scanning her figure like a hawk eyeing its prey.

As their gazes collided in empty space, Yi Xi’s heart skipped a beat and quickly pulled her hand away.

"Who are you?" His profound eyes fixed on her as a deep, low voice emerged from his lips.

"I… I was brought here by Lady Shangguan…” She stammered, her face flushing red, barely able to compose her words.

“Is that so?” His cold gaze hinted at his distaste, his face expressionless.

"Go take a bath. I don't like women carrying other fragrances. Come out after you clean yourself."

Yi Xi wanted to tell him that she already took a bath, but she didn't dare utter another word. Without any hesitation, she rushed to the bathroom.

"Once you’re done, come out immediately. Stop dallying!”

Half an hour passed, and she hadn’t emerged, his patience was wearing thin.

If it wasn’t for Han Zhi Xuan’s fears over childbirth changing her body and her reluctance to give him a child, in light of his ill grandfather’s wish to see a great-grandchild, Shangguan Yi would never have agreed to let his mother bring this surrogate woman here!

Shangguan Yi impatiently ran his fingers through his hair, stood up, and stormed into the bathroom.
