"Want to hook up?"

This was the first thing Jiang Wan said to Lu Yan.

The woman's delicate legs propped against the corridor wall. Her red lips drawing on a lady's cigarette, the smoke blurred her petite face, leaving only a pair of charming peach blossom eyes. The corners of her eyes were upturned, her gaze both bold and passionate.

Just like a while ago in the bar, when their glances met and intertwined from afar.

Lu Yan had followed her out, and upon hearing her, leaned in to ask, "Upstairs or next door?"

The bar street of Yan City was also known as the "street of romantic encounters."

Eight out of ten people coming here would end up in a room if they liked what they saw.

Conveniently, the place they were at, had hotels both upstairs and nearby.

"Let's go upstairs!"

After Jiang Wan spoke, she turned around and walked towards the sightseeing elevator.

Lu Yan's gaze followed her, noticing a Peruvian lily revealed at her waistline as she moved.

Intriguingly alluring, and strangely familiar.

His dark eyes slightly squinting, Lu Yan took a step forward and followed her.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Jiang Wan was pinned against the elevator wall by the man.

A hot, alcohol-scented kiss landed on her, ruffling Jiang Wan's tranquility. Held by the man's hand gripping her waist, another on her jaw, she leaned back and responded passively.

The elevator arrived, and in the gap, as its doors opened, the man let her go, his brows and eyes clear and cold, with no trace of the impatience from before.

Jiang Wan lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.

As soon as the doors opened, the man strode towards the hotel front desk.

His wrist was suddenly pulled back.

Lu Yan turned his head just to see the woman's fingers, as white as scallions, holding a room card.

Their eyes met, and she flashed him a radiant smile.

The man's dark eyes narrowed slightly, his tall figure overshadowing her, a note of chill in his voice, "You came prepared?"

Jiang Wan pushed him away, a playful and provocative smile on her face.

"Scared? Then don't come!"

With that, she turned, her ungraspable waist swaying, her high heels tapping rhythmically as she walked towards the room.

She didn't look back once, as if absolutely certain that he would follow.

Behind her, Lu Yan's gaze was narrow and distant, his eyes filled with interest.

As Jiang Wan swiped the room card to open the door, Lu Yan grabbed her from behind.

Pushed into the room by him and held against the wall in a fevered kiss, Jiang Wan had a moment of regret, thinking she might have acted too hastily.

But the combination of alcohol and the magic of an attractive man quickly banished all her worries, leaving only ignited passion.

Surprisingly, Lu Yan, who usually comes off as cold, was unexpectedly considerate in that aspect.

Jiang Wan stated, the experience was simply overwhelming!

Afterward, Jiang Wan went to take a shower. Looking at the bruise marks all over her body in the mirror, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

But after the satisfaction, a wave of indescribable sadness followed.

After all, she had saved it for over twenty years, and now she had given it to someone who was not a stranger, yet certainly not familiar either. It left her feeling inexplicably complicated.

When she came out wrapped in a towel, the man who recently wore an expression of satisfaction was getting dressed.

Once he put on his shirt and trousers, he returned to his usual detached and distant demeanor.

A phrase came to Jiang Wan's mind: 'A cultured man behaving disgracefully!'

"Are you leaving?"

"Mmm, I have something to handle."

The man buttoned up the last button, not even sparing her a side glance, and then turned to leave.

His aloofness was simply infuriating.

Jiang Wan watched his frosty profile, almost unable to recall the man who was as ferocious as a wolf on the bed a while ago, appearing as though he wanted to devour her whole.

She snorted and waved at him, "Then... take care, CEO Lu!"

The man's pace faltered. He turned to look at the lady, who was now unpacking her hairdryer with a radiant smile.

She was indeed prepared!

Seeing him standing still, watching her with an icy and meaningful gaze, Jiang Wan brushed her lips, "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Do you know me?" Lu Yan wasn't in a rush to leave.

Jiang Wan sneered, "The son of the richest man in Tong City, it's hard not to recognize you."

"What do you want then?" Lu Yan ridiculed with a smirk, his smile sarcastic.

Jiang Wan understood the meaning behind his words.

Knowing his identity and approaching preparedly, she must have a purpose.

She spread her hands, "I've already got what I wanted, so... President Lu can rest assured, I won't pester you relentlessly."

A man like Lu Yan, who has seen countless women fall for him since he was a child, and has seen thousands of colors, will not easily stop for a single flower.

What's more, Jiang Wan knew well, her beauty was far from impressive.

...

Lu Yan rushed to the next scene.

His brothers in Yan city found out he was coming by chance and threw him a welcome party.

After three rounds of drinks, Fu Chengnan leaned back on the sofa, "Ah Yan, you're being unfair. You come to Yan city and don't even give me a heads up. If I hadn't run into you at 'where's', you wouldn't even bother contacting us, would you?"

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Fu Chengnan didn't mind, and he continued on his own: "But Lu Yan, you are really a charmed man. That girl tonight, her waist was indeed slim. I was afraid you might break her when you were holding her so tightly."

Lu Yan paused his drinking action and laughed lightly, "Yeah, it was very slim."

Fu Chengnan glanced at him, "So, you guys went upstairs. Did you...?"

Lu Yan looked at him, implying, why wouldn't he grab a chance that was presented to him?

Fu Chengnan read the meaning in his gaze and his eyebrows jumped up in surprise.

"No way, what about that person?" Fu Chengnan took a sip to calm his shock, "With that person's possessiveness, if they found out, I'm afraid you'd be finished for life!"

"Or is it that you finally grew tired of them?"

The love life of Lu Yan was always a popular gossip topic in their circle.
