She bit her lower lip hard before saying, “Please give me some time; I’ll pay the penalty.”“Eh?”He crossed his graceful legs as he sat on the sofa and asked casually, “Can you really gather one billion just by yourself?”“Please believe that I’ll pay up.”“Not at all,” he coldly said, “I’m planning to regain custody of the child.”“No!” She lost her voice as her heart squirmed with sorrow at the thought of losing her son. “Please! Please don’t take Youyou away from me.”“Give me a reason not to.”She tearfully replied, “I love him, and he can’t bear to leave me either!”He pondered for a moment before saying coldly, “I won’t take him away.”She stared disbelievingly at him, not having expected for him to agree so easily.“But…” he hedged, his pair of eyes regarding her more deeply.“But?” Her heart hung in the air.“You have to stay by my side.”“…”She drew in a sharp breath.“Stay… by your side?”He asked with a smile, “Why? What’s the matter with that?”“Mr., are you joking—”“Be
Yuna was gorgeous. She had a porcelain melon face, almond-shaped eyes framed by long and curly eyelashes, thick and glossy hair resembling a mixture of fine black feather and a fluttering butterfly wing, perfectly angled high nose bridge, and snowy-white skin – all these made her look ravenous.She was already 24 yet still retained her youthful beauty. As she had given birth before, her body was well-developed, causing her naivete to seem like a forbidden temptation!She was honestly a very beautiful girl, who seemed to have walked out of a painting. She had this ethereal aura that was untouched by this world.Just like six years ago, when he first met her, her innocently curled-up form in bed immediately attracted him.She was the beautiful prey and he was the eager hunter.Unfortunately, the little face currently inching toward him was frozen and stiff, and that greatly displeased him.“Is that how you should look when pleasuring me?”His sarcasm was like cold water splashing on her
In the event hall, Guy mingled in the crowd with his mind elsewhere. He turned a deaf ear to the people that were trying to exchange pleasantries with him.More than 15 minutes had passed since Yuna went upstairs, and he was starting to worry.The gala had yet to officially start, but everyone was already socializing with one another. This could also be considered as part of the event’s schedule.Unfortunately, he had lost the desire to participate in this.As the gala’s attendees entertained one another, he expressionlessly remained seated on one of the VIP seats by himself. Looking from the side, his handsome eyes seemed to be sealed in ice.With knitted brows, he lowered his eyes and narrowed them. He held a glass of red wine, which had not been drunk on for a while, and sat still for a long time.Miya saw him sitting alone and immediately left the starlets engaging her in a pleasant talk. She tidied herself up and sashayed toward him.Halfway there, someone bumped into her shoulder
“How dare you?!”One of the men was outraged.He was the head of Hong Kong’s entertainment industry and the president of Euro King Entertainment. He was standing at the pinnacle in Hong Kong a decade ago, and many movie stars made it big under his wings. Hong Kong’s film industry could still have a firm footing in Asia at present mainly because of him.Moreover, Euro King Entertainment held a pivotal role in China’s film industry.He glared at Guy; displeasure was evident on his face.In this industry, artistes were merely money-making commodities and had no rights to speak.In his eyes, no artiste should be outrageous, not even Guy with his superstar status.He had once helped a newly minted artiste become an award-winning actor, who eventually turned into a diva to him. As a corollary, he ordered one of the actor’s fingers to be chopped off. Before his acting career could fully flourish, he was already destroyed by him.He also had connections with the Hong Kong mafia, and this was
She probably had no knowledge of this: sometimes, the harder a woman struggled, the stronger the desire a man would have to dominate her!Weston willfully pressed down on her and quickly covered her supple lips. He held her nape with one hand and gently caressed her back with the other. As if electricity were flowing through them, his long fingers went along her shoulders and traveled downward as they slowly moved to other parts of her body…Yuna felt slightly awful at being suppressed. To be precise, she was feeling uneasy. However, sensing the cold and strange touches sweeping across her stomach, she suddenly forgot to struggle.A strange sensation made her entire body freeze and shiver!“Don’t!”She knitted her brows in discomfort. She had just spouted a word when a distinct and strange sensation – those traces of pain – made her scalp tingle instantly.Fragmented memories from that night suddenly flashed before her eyes, and her shoulders uncontrollably shuddered!Firmly pressing
Guy countered with a solemn look, “Composure? This goes for you, too, CEO. Aren’t you ashamed of using such methods just to get a woman?”Weston’s eyes dimmed and he coldly replied, “I’m a businessman. I get what I want, and this includes her. She’s my woman; I won’t allow anyone to covet her.”His tyrannical warning stunned Guy.He realized that Weston was overpossessive of Yuna to the point of being cruel to her.Weston had always been ambitious and would use whatever means necessary to get what he wanted.He saw the danger of losing her.He had even forced her to take off that evening gown at the boutique store earlier because he disliked seeing her being glamorous for another man.In this gala, she was outstanding and radiant. Every man present was besotted with her.He also saw her reliance and trust in Guy.As a man with keen business acumen, he easily understood that he would lose his chance with her if he did not do something about it.He wanted her so badly, that if she were
Daddy! Daddy!” Yuki ran to the man and asked gloomily, “When will the gala start?”His face softened a little as he looked at his son. Gently taking his small hand in his, he replied, “Right away.”“I wanna drink grape juice…”“Okay!” He always granted Yichen’s every request.The love he had for his son was beyond words.Only after witnessing this scene did Manrou smile. She stepped forward to lock arms with him. “Zhe, the gala is about to begin.”Weston had no change in expression, and the trio slowly entered the elevator.Tiana wanted to follow but retreated at the stare Manrou gave when the latter turned around.Her heart and soul were shaken by it. She clearly got scared by her menacing look. She only regained her composure after the elevator doors were firmly shut.“Nasi, was it really the Boss?”Tiana’s voice came from behind.“I – I am not telling you!” she sobbed meekly, “I don’t know anything; quit asking…”“B*tch!”Tiana could no longer repress the raging fire in her heart a
She arched an eyebrow in surprise and questioned, “Then… Why did Weston give this to me?”“…”She actually called him by his name.Alan was astonished and looked at her as if she were an alien.Yuna was just too unique to be true!No one, including the elites in the capital, dared to call him directly by his name. Everyone would respectfully address him as Master; even then, this term was reserved for a select few.Most people would address him as CEO or Director Azhe.This Tear of Roses was one-of-the-kind. It was his personal keepsake and held great importance to the man, so Alan was surprised when he had him hand it over to Yuna for use at this night’s gala. Did it mean that this woman had an exceptional place in his heart?Alan was being calculative here. If she was the Director woman, he naturally had to serve her with extra care. She was not someone to be offended.Fortunately, Yuna was easy to get along with. She was elegant and humble. Compared to most of the big stars he had
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
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
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
“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
She shyly and gently undid the buttons on her dress and slowly shifted closer to him.The long dress slipped off her body, falling to the ground in a heap as she inched her way to him. She was totally nude; her fair skin and smooth body became totally exposed in the cold, crisp air.A veil of anger flashed across his face as the pupils in his eyes contracted.“Zhe, I want to give myself to you tonight. Will you please take me?” Manrou walked up to him; her arms slowly circled around the man’s sturdy waist, and she gently placed her soft lips on his chest.She tried to melt his hardened heart with her sweet tenderness. As she was hoping for Weston to make the next move, his frosty voice was heard over her head. “Put them on.”“… What?” She looked up and stared into his penetrating orbs in surprise.“Put on your clothes and get lost!” He said coldly. Before she could react, he roughly grabbed her chin and told her with a look of disgust, “Even if you want this, you have to see if I’m
@ The Azhe residence.Weston parked the car in the garage, and walked into the main hall. There, he saw Manrou and his grandpa waiting for him.Grandmaster Azhe was sitting on the master seat with a grim face. Manrou was kneeled beside him, carefully massaging and kneading his legs from time to time.The moment he saw his grandson enter, he snorted angrily and confronted, “You are finally back!”Weston greeted, “Grandpa.”Manrou wanted to speak when she saw him but kept quiet in the end. Grandpa Azhe slammed the table with evident fury.“Where have you been the past two days?! Do you remember that you still have a home to return to here?!”“I’m busy.” Weston replied coolly.“Busy?! What were you busy with?! Were you busy with a woman in bed?!” his grandfather furiously lambasted.Manrou hastily tried to soothe his fury. Gently caressing his rapidly heaving chest, she meekly commented, “Grandpa, don’t be mad. You have to take care of your health! He must have been busy with work in the
With an eerie laughter, he threw the stack of photos he was holding into the air and said, “Chop her into pieces and feed her to the sharks instead. She will not be missed!”His voice was dark and sullen. The words that came pouring out of his mouth were cold and chilling, sending shivers down their backs!Receiving the shock of her life, Nasi scampered behind Qiang.Her mother, who was standing at the door, also held her breath in fear.The eyes he used to look at Nasi were filled with hatred and cruelty. It was as if she were an utterly filthy thing.“Little boy… Are you kidding me?” Dumbstruck, the gangster could only laugh dryly.How can someone be so ruthless at such a young age? This is really scary.“Am I kidding you?” He threw the question back in a low tone. “Why would I tell you a meaningless joke when my time is precious?”“Then…” The man cleared his throat. He was starting to be awestruck at this six- or seven-year-old lad. Licking his upper lip flap, he continued, “You me
“What did you say? Why should I explain anything to you?”As Qiang asked these questions, he looked up to survey the crowd outside the room and rudely demanded, “Whose kid came running in here? Take him back right away!”The crowd immediately scattered from shock.Youyou said sternly, “You’re here to get your money back, aren’t you?! Explain yourself clearly; I’ll pay you the money!”“Where would a kid like you get the dough from?”“I have the money.” Mr.Hanlin stepped forward from behind the boy with a smile.The gangster was even more confused.Nasi seemed to have detected a ray of hope from this. She pointed to the little boy at once and blurted out, “He… He is my sister’s son!”“Oh? Yuna is your mommy?”“You don’t need to be too concerned with me. I’m asking you; how much does she owe you?” the boy questioned seriously. He spared no attention to Nasi; it was as if looking at her once would pollute his eyes.“500,000$.”The boy turned to the side and lowered his voice, “Mr. Hanlin.
What kind of kinship? Was it the kind where his mother had to suffer their bullying for the past two decades and more? Or was it the mocking and sarcasm he had to hear from them? He could not forget the dark and heavy memories of his childhood. If that was what she was referring to as kinship… He smiled lazily and said, “Alright, then, for the sake of kinship.” “You…” “Which room is it?” It might be due to Youyou’s exceptional charisma, or she must be under a spell, for she woodenly replied to him, “502…” “Let’s go.” He faced his agent and gave this instruction. Mr. Hanlin immediately followed behind. He was actually keen to find out what kind of a tragic ending the mother-daughter pair would have. The agent turned around and glanced pathetically at Lisa, offering a few seconds of silent condolences in his heart. It was not good to offend Youyou, this little demon king. One would not know how death come about. Lisa could not be blamed for creeping her way here for help. Sh
