In the oppressive heat of July, the moonlight cast a hazy veil over the night, arousing ambiguous sparks, akin to the silent undertones between lovers.

Qin Luoyi stood outside the entrance of the 'Enchantment Bar', her eyes lost in the neon sign welcoming her, her gaze dampened with misty emotions.

It was her second visit to a bar.

Earlier in the day, a scandalous piece of entertainment news ran shockwaves through City A. "The Eldest Lady of the prestigious Qin family spends a night with a lover!" it blared, complete with an incriminating photo of her being carried into a hotel by a mysterious man.

Qin Luoyi reminisced about the previous night; she and her sister, Qin Zhiwen, had visited the bar to welcome their fiancé, Gu Guancheng. But she got drunk...

Upon awakening in the plush hotel bed stained with patches of red, her entire being felt disarrayed and bare, traces of pleasure marred with myriad hues of purple etched on her skin.

A sense of emptiness filled Qin Luoyi's mind. Upon returning home, she discovered that all this had been orchestrated by her sister.

She lost her virginity, her sister stole her fiancé and to add insult to her injury, her mother advised her to marry that stranger whose name she didn't even know!

"Should I really go in search of that man?"

Just having lost her innocence and anticipating his marriage proposal promptly, she thought, "Qin Luoyi, you certainly are cheap!"

Feeling desolate, she gazed at the entrance of the bar. A self-depreciating laugh escaped her and forward, she moved.

...

The Enchantment Bar was a quiet place, a renowned entertainment venue frequently visited by the rich and powerful of City A. The sumptuous décor, expensive consumables, and the slow-flowing music that pervaded the heavy scent of liquor created an atmosphere of ambiguity and opulence.

On the second floor of the bar, a man dressed in a black suit lounged on the chairman's chair, half-closed eyes lazily listening to a subordinate's business briefing. Despite his careless demeanor, which should have been annoying to his subordinates, when performed by him, it transformed into something natural and rather aesthetically pleasing.

No matter how the man behaved, He Hao reported the bar's performance over the previous month diligently, standing dutifully by his side.

"Overall, the turnover of Temptation has surged two to three percentage points compared to last month. The bars that started the same period as us can no longer compete with us. Surely, the power dynamics of the nightlife scene in City A are about to shift drastically," He Hao said with pride, inadvertently catching sight of a slender figure near the bar on the first floor amidst his excitement.

"Boss, isn't that the beautiful lady you took away last night?"

Li Fengjue, sitting across from him, pointed vaguely at the bar.

The woman looked particularly enticing. Her shiny, jet-black hair dangled delicately over her shoulders, her slim figure well-proportioned. Even though they were quite far, her facial features appeared exceptionally delicate.

At the moment, she seemed to be talking with the front desk bartender.

"Boss, you're really lucky. Just spent a passionate night with her yesterday, and tonight she can't wait to show up?" Li Fengjue's lips twitched a little, revealing an unfathomable smile.

Qin Luoyi was asking the bartender about the waitress who had been bribed by her younger sister last night. As long as she finds that waitress, she can find out who that man really is.

There are many employees in the bar, but with a bit of tip, it wasn't hard to get the info.

Five minutes later, Qin Luoyi stopped a waitress named Xiao Wei in the corridor on the second floor.

"Miss, don't leave. I'm not here to make things difficult for you. I just want to know who was the man who took me away last night? Is he a regular here? Can you tell me about him?"

Looking regretful, Xiao Wei was hesitating whether to answer or not when she noticed the man standing behind Qin Luoyi.

"He's behind you, right behind you."

Upon hearing the answer, Qin Luoyi instinctively turned her head, only to find herself gazing into a pair of enchanting eyes.

After being momentarily lost in thought, Qin Luoyi started to carefully examine this man.

There was a clear scar stretching from his left forehead to his eye, paired with his long fringe that covered pale, almost transparent cheeks and the slight upward curve of his lips.

Her first impression of him was: wild and unrestrained.

Just as she was about to approach him, a voluptuous woman with provocative makeup appeared out of nowhere. She stretched out her hand to hook on the man's arm, constantly brushing her soft bosom against his arm.

"Darling, I finally found you. I've been thinking about doing it again with you since last time. Can I have you to myself tonight?"

The woman deliberately lowered her voice to a coquettish whisper. Her slender fingers slid slowly and tantalizingly down from Lord Lie Feng's waist.

Qin Luoyi was close to them and she could clearly hear what the woman was saying. Her mind raced, but she found herself unable to make a decision.

Meanwhile, Lord Lie Feng nicknamed the Duke of the Wind, seemed to ignore the woman half hanging on him, and with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, he looked at the flustered young woman in front of him.

Qin Luoyi bit her bottom lip. She had speculated about the occupation of the man who had stolen her virginity, but she never thought that he would turn out to be a gigolo.

She lifted her eyes slightly to look at the alluring man standing intimately with the other woman.

"Wait."

She noticed that the man was preparing to leave with the voluptuous woman in his arms and rushed to stop him.

Ignoring everything else, she jogged up to the two, looked straight at the unorthodoxly handsome man in front of her, then turned to the voluptuous woman.

"I'll be keeping him tonight. I'll pay double the amount."

Upon hearing this, Lord Lie Feng slightly raised his eyebrows. He wasn't expecting this petite woman would invite him for the night with a double over bid. His eyes slightly flickered.

"Baby, looks like tonight is a no-go, I'll come find you tomorrow." Li Fengjue lightly patted the charming woman's buttocks, but his eyes were boldly roaming over Qin Luoyi.

The seductive woman didn't speak, but her gaze swept over Qin Luoyi, before leaving with an ambiguously suggestive smile.

Li Fengjue folded his arms, watching the little woman before him.

He still remembered the taste of this little woman from last night. Her pliant quiet eyes, delicate skin, soft waist, long thighs, unpolished skills, and whiny moans with a hint of crying.

Thinking about it, Li Fengjue couldn't help but frown, remembering the splash of red on the bed last night.

He never took virgins, and he didn’t expect he made a miscalculation last night.

"Don't stand here, let's go talk outside."

To avoid any further embarrassment and to rid herself of this feeling as if she was an object being openly assessed and picked, Qin Luoyi turned and headed towards the bar door.

Li Fengjue followed Qin Luoyi to a coffee shop not far from the mesmerizing bar.

Qin Luoyi stared at the man sitting opposite her, her gaze hollow and her mind had already drifted far away.

"Do you book me double the price just to have me accompany you for coffee?"

Li Fengjue leaned casually on the back of the chair, looking at the woman across who's daydreaming, a devilish smile playing on his lips as he picked up the coffee from the table.

Having her thoughts interrupted by Li Fengjue, Qin Luoyi came back to her senses and pinched herself hard. The sharp sting on her skin reminded her to steady her mind and she looked up at the nonchalant man across her.

"I want you to marry me, just for a year. After the divorce, as a compensation, I will pay you half a million. Of course, I won't interfere in your private life after the marriage. But I have one condition, you can't continue to be a male escort!"

Upon hearing Qin Luoyi's words, Li Fengjue looked at her, a smirk playing on his face.

Qin Luoyi was already nervous, waiting for the answer. When she saw his enchanting smile, she uncontrollably lost herself.

His perfect, medium-length hair, the hidden scar...

As Qin Luoyi looked further down, her breathing became ragged. Realizing her lack of composure, she touched her already flushed cheeks, even the tips of her ears turned a burning red.

Such a devil!

She couldn't help but grumble in her heart, a man who can make a woman feel inferior, it was just too unfair!

Regaining her composure, Qin Luoyi noticed that the man across from her showed no intention of speaking.

He even had an expression that seemed to say 'carry on, I am listening', leaving her still somewhat anxious, unable to guess whether this man agreed or disagreed.

With a slight frown, her fingers rhythmically tapped on the cup in her hand.

Subconsciously biting her lip, Qin Luoyi furrowed her brows and started to speak tentatively: "Do you think the price is not right?"
