Tormented by her fiancé, she found herself caught in a series of unfortunate events, shaped by destiny itself. A powerful figure forced his way into her life, making her his own woman with no mention of love or marriage at all. With her mother's life hanging by a thread, she would rather sell a kidney to save her mother than ask for his help. She adhered to her principles, persevered relentlessly, standing tall and unbowed, her slender spine proud at all times. Her unwavering strength infuriated him, driving him to the point of wanting to shred her defiance into pieces. Yet, her qualities eventually earned his respect. He proposed dating and she saw a sliver of silver lining in the clouds. However, during a meeting with their parents, a massive secret threw them into a metaphorical hell - her mother turned out to be his father's ex-wife. Both of them shared a common older brother. In the past, his mother had cruelly persecuted hers, causing their mutual brother to be separated from her mother for thirty years. When confronted with an awkward revelation of identities, she disregarded the status, firmly stood by his side, declaring, "I am with you!" He took her hand, offering her boundless freedom, yet he was forced to leave after his parents divorced. She moved to a small town thousands of miles away. She heard about the arrival of a new leader in the city but didn't pay much attention. Their paths crossed again before long. She saw him and saw the emotions in his eyes. However, at this moment, where should their love go from here?
Binhai city. Night.
At a certain grand hotel.
Gorgeous and exquisitely handcrafted decor fills the room, oozing the subtlety of Italian elegance and vintage colors. Suddenly, an ambiguous moan emanates from the wide bed. "Uh--"
Two passionate bodies intertwine. The soft sensation of a woman's body has caused Jomo Xi, who always has been strict with himself, to lose control. His senses seem to triumph over his reason, but at the last moment, his rationality is suddenly pulled back.
No! He can't! This is a stranger, a woman. He should not be seduced and become vulnerable.
Getting up abruptly, he pulls a silk quilt to cover the woman, panting heavily. He closes his eyes until his passion subsides, then he changes back into his clothes.
He lowers his head to look at the woman who suddenly appeared in his bed after his shower, his face gloomy, his eyes flashing with a thick murderous look.
What a proactively seductive woman! Jomo Xi picks up both the quilt and the woman, throwing her into the bathtub of the washroom.
He turns on the shower, and a torrent of cold water immediately descends.
"Ah--" Lin Yan is awakened by the icy water. Her big eyes, filled with confusion, scan the surroundings. Where is she?
"Speak, who sent you?!" The man's tone bears a sense of domineering authority. It's not anger, but one can tell that he's irked and impatient, doing his best to endure.
Lin Yan is stunned, she looks down at herself. Water is still bursting from the shower. The thin silk quilt has been drenched and clings to her body, as she is wrapped inside it with nothing on.
"Ah--What happened to me? Who, who are you?" Lin Yan's screech frightens herself again, piercing Jomo Xi's ears to the point that they seem about to go deaf.
"Shut up!" It's another roar.
Lin Yan was so frightened that she immediately shut up and widened her eyes in embarrassment, only to see a tall man standing at the bathroom door, his eyes filled with anger as he stared at her.
"You, who are you?" She couldn't help but ask again, trembling.
Qiao Moxi looked at the terrified little woman with a frown, her expressions were quite rich, her acting was good, she could win an Oscar for it.
"So, who sent you here to offer yourself to me?" Qiao Moxi snorted coldly, his tone sarcastic. She could play along with other men in a seductively offered game, was quite scheming too. This kind of woman was a venomous scorpion, not to be touched, he knew very well. He was also thankful he hadn't touched!
"Where-- Where is Haoyan?" Lin Yan subconsciously looked around, today it was Li Haoyan who was dating her, they had been in love for six years, Haoyan said tonight he wanted to book a hotel room, otherwise they would break up. Thinking they would be marrying soon, she wouldn't want to lose him, she decided to agree to him, but what's going on right now?
Qiao Moxi took a step forward.
"Ah--don't come over, what do you want to do?" As soon as he got closer, Lin Yan was frightened again and let out another piercing scream.
"Damn!" Qiao Moxi cursed and turned on the shower. "If I had wanted to do something, I would have done it long ago, not till now, say, who are you here for? What's your purpose?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Seeing that he didn't mean to hurt her, Lin Yan couldn't help but retort.
Qiao Moxi snorted coldly, feeling quite disdainful for this woman's playing dumb act. He mocked, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you? You stripped off your clothes and ran into my room, what do you think you were doing?"
