Chapter 2
Three days and three nights of tangled bodies.
Three days and three nights without the slightest sign of fatigue.
I could clearly feel how much Zhao Rongzheng liked me. How satisfied he was with me.
All the tricks I had learned over the years-this was the first time I had ever used them so thoroughly on a man.
And judging by the result, they had worked beautifully.
On the morning I left, Zhao Rongzheng personally saw me into the car.
I leaned against the car window, my eyes shimmering, full of reluctance to part.
It made Zhao Rongzheng’s heart soften all over again.
Even after the car had disappeared from sight, he remained standing where he was.
Three days later.
Zhao Rongzheng stood at the harbor, smoking with an unreadable expression.
His assistant jogged over, his face grim.
“Mr. Zhao, we’ve looked into it. Everything was fake.”
“Her name, birthplace, age, background-all of it was fake…”
“This probably wasn’t their first time setting up a scam. They’re professionals.”
Zhao Rongzheng stubbed out his cigarette, then lowered his indifferent gaze to his own wrist.
There were two bite marks there, one old and one new.
One had been left last night when Xue Fu bit him.
The other had been on his body for twenty years.
“Understood.” His voice was calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
“Mr. Zhao, should we keep investigating?”
“No need.”
Zhao Rongzheng looked at his assistant. “Pull everyone back. Return to Hong Kong.”
The assistant was a little surprised, but he quickly answered, “Yes, Mr. Zhao.”
Zhao Rongzheng strode onto the ship, but once he reached the deck, he stood there motionless for a very long time.
When he finally left, he brushed his fingers once more over the old scar on the bone of his left wrist.
Ten million.
He would just consider it the fulfillment of a dream he had carried since youth.
Even if it was fake.
It was still barely worth it.
Five years later.
I had just dropped Chu Bao off at kindergarten when Zhou Nian blew into my apartment like a gust of wind.
She collapsed onto the sofa and immediately started acting shameless. “Yanyan, I don’t care. No matter what, you have to help me this time.”
“I really can’t help you.”
“You’re the only one who can.”
“Yanyan, over the past few years, wherever you go, the divorce rate there starts skyrocketing.”
“There isn’t a man in this world you can’t handle.”
“I already keep a very low profile.”
“But those men see you and turn into cats who’ve smelled fish.”
I felt a little helpless.
“You can’t blame me for that. I can’t just stop going outside or working.”
“I still have to support Chu Bao. You have no idea how expensive that little girl is.”
“I don’t care, Yanyan. In any case, you have to help me. If you don’t, I’ll go home tonight and hang myself.”
Zhou Nian had simply started throwing a tantrum.
The noise was giving me a headache. “But your husband is a playboy who’s seen every kind of beauty there is. He might not take the bait.”
Zhou Nian sprang upright like a carp flipping in the air. “The first time he saw you, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.”
I frowned slightly. Zhou Nian’s husband really was a veteran Casanova.
By the second month of their marriage, scandals about him were already everywhere.
Unfortunately, that bastard came from too powerful a family. The Zhou family had been all too eager to marry their daughter off to him, so there was no way they would let Zhou Nian get a divorce.
And Zhou Nian could never get any solid evidence. She was furious every day, but there was nothing she could do.
Then somehow, this damn girl had set her sights on me.
The truth was, I really didn’t want to do this kind of thing again.
But Zhou Nian had saved Chu Bao before. I owed her far too much for that.
“Niannian, I can only try. Whether it works or not won’t be up to me.”
Zhou Nian grabbed me into a hug and rubbed me hard.
“Yanyan, I’m a woman and even I want to cop a feel when I look at you, let alone those animals who think with their lower halves.”
“I’ll be waiting for good news, babe!”
