“Daddy…” Yuki suddenly rubbed his chest, his brows forming a deep crease. “My chest is a little stuffy.”“What’s wrong?” There was slight distress on Weston’s face. “Why is your chest stuffy again?”Yuki shook his head in confusion. Acting coy, he pouted and answered, “I don’t know. It’s just stuffy. Really stuffy and aching. It’s awful.”He caressed his son’s small head. At that moment, there was another commotion at the entrance.“Oh, god! How beautiful…”A passionate crowd of media reporters subsequently congested the other end of the red carpet.Yuna, wearing an elegant and attractive smile, had her arm linked with Guy’s as they gracefully entered.The moment they appeared in the spotlight, countless eyes, filled with surprise, jealousy, disdain, and doubt, cast on them from near and far.People specifically laid their eyes on her eye-catching and glamorous gown and that dazzling ruby necklace on her collarbone.Yuna, in a luxurious red gown, was as beautiful as a stalk of fresh, t
Unbeknownst to Tiana, Yuna had a keen eye despite all the flashes blinding her. Yuna could feel the hateful ,evil glint while Tiana was plotting; Yuna was already on guard against her.Once bitten, twice shy. Yuna saw how Miya had made a fool of Nasi earlier, so she was doubly observant of where she put her foot.Guy betted his reputation to pave an entry for her on this important occasion, so she treasured this chance very much and was adamant to be at her very best, whether in manner or expression.However, Yuna pretended not to notice anything fishy as she glided past her with Guy.On her feet were seven-inch heels; she eyed the right moment, and then she steadily lifted a foot and expertly brought a thin heel crashing down on top of the schemer’s foot.“Ahhh!” Tiana cried. She did not see her enemy flip the table on her, so her foot was summarily maimed. She shrieked from the pain coursing through her, and she was swiftly covered with beads of cold perspiration.Yuna’s stilettoes
The little lad then pointed a finger to Tiana and, continued to speak smugly, “The truth will prevail.” Apparently, he was feeling pleased with himself for coming up with such a cool statement.Everyone went silent.Yuna was flabbergasted and tickled at the same time. She was not prepared for his little, cheeky remark.Likewise, Weston was unable to keep his usual calmness; his stern face had a rarely seen slight smile in it.On the second floor, Youyou was fossilized by what he had just heard.… Is my brother trying to be funny?“Ha ha ha!”The guests were also tickled by this cute child’s antics and burst into fits of laughter, ignoring Tiana.Yuna wanted to laugh but she didn’t. She thought about the little prince.Was he trying to shield her earlier?She did not expect it at all.The mother-son pair had not seen each other since he was born. Despite that, their bond could not be easily erased.Is this a connection??She could not stifle a chuckle this time.When she first met thi
Aaron noticed her awkwardly standing alone on the dance floor and went to her right away. Just as he reached her side, he easily caught a whiff of her fragrant smell and was momentarily swayed by it.Suddenly, that scene appeared in his mind.In the assistant’s office at the Financial Group’s headquarters, he thoroughly took control of her.The exhilaration he felt as their body fluids mixed together – that lovely and corrosive sensation – was unforgettable.His feelings for her all these years could only be expressed in his mind, but, on that day, all his dreams suddenly came true.The tension and thrill of their clandestine love affair triggered his hormones to the maximum; finally, he no longer had to restrain himself.It was just a pity that following their carnal tryst, Manrou’s treatment of him turned lukewarm, and in fact, she completely ignored him.Using every trick in the book, he tried getting close to her, but she always found an excuse to avoid him. What happened that day
Fragments of his dreams appeared and drifted through his mind. He seemed to be led by his thoughts.In his sleep, he saw a little boy of his age. That boy had the same features as him – soft hair and beautiful arching brows – but his pretty face seemed be a little indifferent.In his dreams, that boy always stood far from him and looked distant. With his back on him, he silently walked away, looking far ahead.It felt so real it was almost touchable.He desperately chased after that boy, but no matter how much he walked or ran, he could never catch up.His heart beat faster and faster as the boy walked further and further away; he would wake up at this point.He woke up in a cold perspiration, physically exhausted from the realistic dream.There were a few times when, in the dreams, his soul would get sucked into the body of that boy as he lay paralyzed in bed.As the Little prince emerged from his thoughts, He looked unblinkingly at his twin.“It’s you!”He cried out in surprise.He
“What’s the matter?” He knitted his brows and thought it was a little fishy.The concierge smiled politely. “Sir, please let me help this lady into the vehicle. May I ask where she lives?”He shot him a look and smilingly pondered. “So considerate in your service?”“This is a must, sir.”He looked down at Yuna, who was knocked out in his arms, and felt a little worried.He thought it was best to send her back home himself, as he was really worried for her.Still, the Imperial Hotel’s top-notch services were renowned; knowing that he could trust them, he no longer held any suspicions.He had read her resume before, so he was able to supply the concierge with her address.“Gold Star City Apartments. Please safely send her home and, when you get there, help her inside!”The concierge gracefully placed his palm over his chest and bowed. “I’m honored. I will take this lady home safe and sound!”Assured, Qin handed her over to him. The concierge helped Yuna into the back seat and closed the
Weston carried the inebriated Yuna out of the car. She was so frail and light he could easily hold her in one arm. He hailed Alexis into the car with his other hand. With a click , the door was shut.The driver was even more confused by now. “What’s going on?”He simply said, “You’ve got the wrong woman. This is the correct one.”“…”The car door was shut and locked after she was thrown into the back seat. To her horror, she realized that the car door could not be opened, and she panicked.Alexis did not understand; why did he throw her into a stranger’s car?She frantically hit and slapped the car window, crying hideously, “Director, what is the meaning of this?!! Am I not keeping you company tonight?!”“Start the car!”He completely ignored her and coldly commanded the driver. The moment he said these words, the driver took off, feeling relieved to receive amnesty. The car throttled past his sports car, screeching away with Alexis’s desperate screams.Poor Alexis thought she had cli
“I don’t know you!” She said in a fit of piqued rage. Did she really not recognize him, or was she using her tipsiness to spout nonsense, pretending to not know him?Could it be that she was purposely opposing him?“You don’t know me?”Yuna turned away. She did not want to see him. Using her tipsiness as an excuse, she daringly became petulant with him.Her mind might be foggy, but she still recognized the man before her.She was angry and did not want to respond to him. He was unbothered by her attempt to ignore him as he had ways to make her respond!Her body suddenly froze. Feeling his movements, her entire face instantly paled.“DON’T TOUCH ME!”“Huh?”“B*stard, I don’t want you! Go away! You have a fiancée and plenty of women, so why are you still messing with me?! Why do I have to get bullied by you and bear with your temper?! WHY?!”She even spotted him hugging Alexis, whispering to her ear after he exited the dance floor!How was he any different from other men? He, just like
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
