"Miss Gu, now that the agreement has been signed, please take this medicine," said a professionally dressed female secretary, offering two pills.

Gu Ruoxi's body stiffened, not moving for a moment.

Her mother was sick, requiring 700,000 yuan for surgery. Her father had remarried, taken a wealthy woman as his wife, and since then, he had never concerned himself with the wellbeing of mother and daughter.

So now, in order to gather the medical expenses for her mother as quickly as possible, she had to offer herself to a mysterious man.

"Miss Gu, rest assured, this is not poison," the secretary said, her smile gentle. "Our boss just doesn't want to be seen in his true face, so he hopes you will be in a semi-conscious state when you interact with him."

Gu Ruoxi closed her eyes and swallowed the two pills in one go.

"Thank you for your cooperation." The secretary nodded, took the documents, and exited the presidential suite.

Gu Ruoxi held her knees, sitting alone at the edge of the bed for a while. A sense of dizziness gradually came over her. It felt like she was drunk.

She slumped onto the large bed, her consciousness confusing and blurry.

In the midst of it all, she felt a hot, scalding hand gently stroking her body. Gu Ruoxi shivered sensitively and curled up.

That hand firmly held her wrist, forcing her slender body to stretch out.

"Relax, I'll be gentle..." A deep, husky voice echoed in her ears. Delicate kisses fell on her forehead, carrying a strange soothing magic.

Maybe it was the effects of the two pills, lowering Gu Ruoxi's sense of alertness. Indeed, she calmed down, relaxed, and softly responded to the man's movements.

Pain and intoxication filled her body. It felt like Gu Ruoxi had fallen into a rollicking whirlpool, her body sinking and floating, rolling and falling, until she was ultimately lost...

Such nights continued for half a month.

Gu Ruoxi was half-forced to stay in the presidential suite, where the female secretary took care of her daily meals and clothing. All were the most delicate five-star meals and luxurious clothes, with not a bit of misgiving.

The mysterious man who showed up at night was also gentle and patient. Apart from the first time, he never let Gu Ruoxi feel any pain.

Moreover, judging by the man's voice, he wasn't old. She even sneaked a touch of his body, muscular, and strong waistline... and yet so wealthy.

So many women must be lining up to be with such an outstanding man. Why would he choose to find her in this manner?

To minimize trouble?

Indeed, he and Gu Ruoxi were never destined to cross paths.

Half a month later, Gu Ruoxi successfully got pregnant.

The female secretary made new arrangements for her residence, in a standalone villa in a resort. As the baby came to term and it was nearing the expected delivery date, she was sent to the hospital.

Three days after being hospitalized, Gu Ruoxi gave birth to twins, a boy, and a girl, via C-section. The babies were taken away as soon as they were born, Gu Ruoxi didn't even get a chance to see them once.

She laid weakly on the delivery bed, eyes tightly closed.

I'm sorry, my little ones, your mom didn't mean to desert you...

When the cesarean wound healed, the female secretary picked Gu Ruoxi up from the hospital and dropped her off at her mother's rented house.

"Miss Gu, because you have given birth to twins, our boss has instructed to give you an additional one million." She handed over a card, "this card has a total of 1.3 million."

Gu Ruoxi shook her head, not accepting the card.

"I don't want this money. Since you only want one child, could you... return my daughter to me?" she beseeched, looking at the secretary.

The secretary looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry."

Gu Ruoxi lowered her eyelids, knowing the answer but unwilling to give up hope.

"I'll only take the remaining 300,000. Please return the additional one million to him."

As Gu Ruoxi got out of the car, through the car window she said, "And please, convey my message to him. I hope he would kindly raise our... no, his children well."
