“Do you have any last words?” The man looked at her sympathetically. After all, she had followed them since she was in junior high and inevitably gave raise to having some ‘playmate attachments’ toward her.This was a rare moment of kindness from him.She shook her wan face; she did not want to die!However, he mistook that for not having any parting words and signaled the men beside him with his eyes.“Remember to do a clean job!”“Understood, Bro!”He sniggered, stooped in front of her, and stroked her head in farewell. “Er, poor girl, tell me; why are you so stupid? It’s not that I don’t want to help you. I know we used to be close in some ways, but you tricked me first, so don’t blame me for being unkind now.”With that, he stood up and watched his henchmen drag the two away.She desperately kicked her legs in an attempt to escape as she broke down into tears.A freighter was moored quietly in the harbor.Qiang was not a typical ruffian. He had powerful connections to the mafia an
Having very few friends, she treasured this seldom-received kindness. She lowered her gaze to look at the time. She was still early for the interview. As she exited the elevator, Agent Qin seemed to have just reached the company as well. He was quite surprised to see her. “Ah, Shishi! You’re so early!” “Mhm! I couldn’t hail a cab at my doorstep. Luckily, someone let me hitch a ride, so I was able to arrive here on time.” “Someone drove you here? Who?” He was puzzled by the coincidence. “She seems to be called… June Moore.” She learned her name from Youyou. June Moore? He furrowed his brows. “Where are you staying right now?” “Precious Gardens.” He was flabbergasted. That district was well-known for being a luxury residence in the capital, and she lived there? “That’s a very luxurious place! How did you manage to buy a property there?” “I struck the lottery,” she answered sheepishly without going into details. “… What good luck.” He let out a sigh from the bottom of his hea
Alexis, who was troubled, noticed that the door to Qin Zhou’s office was ajar. She roamed her eyes and hit upon an idea. Immediately, she put on a saccharine smile and entered the room.“Mr. Qin!”She decided to butter him up sweetly upon stepping inside.Qin Zhou held Huanyu shares; therefore, those artistes and staff with lower ranks had to address him as ‘Mr. Qin’.He felt a headache coming on once he saw her and rolled his eyes lazily. “What?”She was about to speak when she spotted Yuna signing a contract with her head down. She was stunned and momentarily speechless.“… Huh? Yuna?! Why are you here, too?”“It’s none of your business! Care for yourself first!” He reminded her coldly.At his reminder, she remembered her purpose for being in his office and cooed, “Mr. Qin, you have to help me~”Her velvety voice triggered goosebumps on his skin instead.Don’t act coy if you don’t know how to.As soon as she opened her mouth, he only felt disgust and his flesh creep all over.“What
Qin Zhou left after bringing Yuna into the head producer’s office. “Have a seat. We are waiting for one more person.”He picked up the case file and started reading it after he had said that. There’s someone else, too?Who can it be?Am I not the only one signing a contract today?She sat in the chair and examined her surroundings. With everything neatly lined up along the shelf, the office interior appeared minimalist in design. There were a few photo frames hanging on the wall, which displayed the latest first-tier stars of Huanyu. Guy’s portrait was among this lineup. Many books and record albums were on the bookshelf. In front of the sofa was a low-square table with a high-class teapot set on it. A knock was heard on the door.She looked over quizzically and saw June walked in. Seeing her, Yuna smiled in acknowledgement and June nodded in return. She closed the door and took a seat beside her. “Producer Lane.” Lane lifted his wristwatch and took a look before he coolly com
Three days ago, Yuna secretly signed a contract and was brought to a facility. She was caged in a room, locked away from the outside. Fifty million dollars. An astronomical sum! She was forbidden from outside contact. She knew that in order to prepare her for pregnancy, they needed to ensure her health, so that her body would be better suited to carry the baby.Yuna was entitled to three exquisite meals a day. Ham, bacon, bread, beef – everything was almost too extravagant. She knew that those foods were beneficial to people preparing for pregnancy, she only swallowed them down.Yuna dared not disobey any orders, as absolute obedience was one of the conditions stated in the contract.Thus, even today, she faithfully followed her employer’s secretary and anxiously came to this private institute to undergo medical examinations.This employer of hers was very mysterious; she had not seen him even once. She only knew of the contract, and that signing it would entitle her to a remunerat
His near violent moves made Yuna stiffen. She dared not move recklessly.Her heart beat thunderously in her chest. It was as if her heartbeats were forcing themselves out from her throat.Shame, panic, fear… With all these emotions weighing on her, she could hardly breathe.It was in that moment that she started to regret her decision.She initially thought that she could do it. It was just bearing a child for him, after all. She might have no experience, but, as a woman, this was something she would come across sooner or later. However, facing this unknown yet domineering man, she lost all the courage she had at the start. Right now, she only felt utter fear!She had just become an adult and had not experienced any form of intimacy yet. She had never even held a boy’s hand in her entire life. Naturally, her heart was unwilling. Still, she was unable to resist his invasion. Under his provocation, she slowly opened up like the flower buds under the morning sun.He lowered his head and,
Bang!Hearing the cold sound of the door closing, she hugged her shoulders and felt the frightening bruises on her wrists. Her eyes were swollen, but she dared not let out even the tiniest cry, even if it was just a whimper.Soon after, she heard the sound of a car engine starting up coming from outside.The vehicle drove into the distance, further and further away, until the sound of the engine subsided. Realizing his departure, she could no longer endure it. She immediately shut her eyes and sobbed her heart out.In this unfamiliar seaside villa, she gave the pure her up completely to an unknown male.Before, she wondered on why he would choose her. After giving it some thought, she concluded that it was because of her identity as a commoner that would be unable to fight for the child’s custody rights in the future.She did not know if this was right and how long she should hide this from her father. Her family’s situation had driven her into a corner and she was at her wits’ end, b
In fact, Chang Shire’s family was originally well-off. He had a property on the market that generated stable profits, so they were considered to be living in wealth. However, at the start of the year, a financial storm suddenly swept across the globe, which left his entire family in shambles. The company was operating under a constant loss. Many shareholders had had their investments retracted. Seeing that the company was about to go bankrupt, his wife pointed her finger at Yuna and blamed her for it. This was because, just the year before, he willingly spent the money originally set aside for investments to send her to a prestigious dormitory-based high school to study, to be away from this trifling home.In his wife’s opinion, if it had not been for this particular move of his back then, the company would not have been affected by the economic crisis and the Shire family would not have fallen to such a state.This matter caused many heated arguments in the household. When Yuna went
