The strong pulling force brought her straight into a warm embrace.

The person lowered his head and accurately captured her lips.

…

The bright sunlight seeped into the ground as specks of light danced on the windowsill.

The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.

The wind blew at the curtains. Qin Youxuan felt cold and tugged the blanket closer to her body. The moment she moved, however, she felt her body aching all over, and this startled her awake.

She sat bolt upright and scanned the luxurious room. Her hangover made her squint her pretty eyes in discomfort.

Why was she here?

The scenes from last night flashed across her mind, and she instantly became flustered.

In the next second, she lifted the blanket, picked up her clothes from the floor, and quickly put them on.

She reached out to gather her hair, revealing her pale face.

Just as she stood up, before she could return to her senses, she heard the running water from inside the bathroom coming to a stop.

Without thinking, Qin Youxuan grabbed her bag and rushed out of the room.

The bathroom door was pulled open and a tall figure stepped out.

“Did she run away?”

The man’s deep voice was magnetic as he glanced in the direction of the door, where the woman had disappeared to. He leaned against the bathroom door and narrowed his eyes.

Under the dim lights, his perfect features glowed like porcelain.

His eyelashes were thick and long, and when he had his eyes partially open, there was a kind of charm to them. His nose bridge was high and his thin lips were kissable. A faint smile perpetually danced at the corners of his mouth as he exuded a devilish aura from head to toe…

“Young Master Jie.”

A figure detached itself from the darkness and silently walked to the sofa like a ghost. “Are you all right?”

“What do you think?”

Shan Hanjie raised a brow lazily, walked to the sofa, and sat down elegantly with his long legs crossed. He had the aura of someone looking down on the world.

A few sparks and wisps of smoke came from his thin lips and lingered on his devilishly handsome face, making his thoughts unreadable to anybody looking.

He slowly looked up and his gaze landed on the red spot staining the bed sheet. His devilish lips curled up as he extinguished the cigarette butt on the table.

“I wanna know who she is!”

“Understood.”

…

The morning news broadcast.

…

“Hehe!”

As soon as Qin Youxuan stepped into the living room of her family’s residence, she saw the news reports flashing on the TV screen. Her lips curled up coldly as her eyes glinted with disdain and mockery.

A kind father…

Ever since her mother died, she had come to know that there was no place for her in this family.

This day had finally come.
