“Let’s go back to the villa,” he replied simply.

  The headlights on both sides of the road occasionally flashed past the car, illuminating the face of the man sitting behind the car.

  He had sharp eyebrows and dark eyes. His thin lips were slightly pursed and he looked as noble as jade. He was expressionless and his body exuded an indifferent aura.

  It wasn’t sharp or harsh, but it gave off a distant feeling.

  The car finally stopped outside a classic-looking villa. The headlights flashed past, illuminating the villa that was hidden in the darkness.

  The assistant got out of the car and opened the door respectfully. A tall and slender figure got out of the car and glanced at the villa.

  The assistant looked at the dark villa and shuddered.

  “I reckon… the housekeeping staff didn’t pay much for the electricity…”


  “Yes. Help me hand it in later. Bring all the luggage over tomorrow morning.”


  “Okay!”


  The assistant hurriedly replied as the man walked into the villa.

  With the help of the headlights, the man successfully opened the door and walked in. Only then did the assistant get into the car, turned the car around, and drove away.

  On the way, she asked the power station for the villa’s electricity meter account and paid the electricity bill online.

  Wen Xuchen took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. After entering, he scanned the entrance and found the stairs on the second floor. He then went upstairs.

  Ten minutes later, the lights in the villa lit up after the assistant successfully paid the electricity bill.

  The entire villa was instantly lit up.

  The strong light made Yuan Muchun frown. She opened her eyes in a daze. Her eyes were swollen from crying. Seeing the bright light, she paused and stood up. She rubbed her eyes and went upstairs.

  Wen Xuchen came out of the bathroom and walked to the bed to rest. However, he realized that the place where he should be sleeping had long been occupied by a woman.

  “…”


  Frowning, he stood by the bed and looked down at the sleeping woman.

  Her face was pure and clean, and her sleeping expression was calm.

  Her sleeping face was still acceptable.

  Although her eyes were closed, one could tell at a glance that they were swollen.

  She had obviously been crying.

  She had appeared in his villa for no reason and occupied his place to sleep. What was there to cry about?

  After staring at her sleeping face for a long time, he narrowed his eyes and bent down to take a closer look at her.

  He raised his index finger and tapped her chin. He shook her head slightly and his eyes paused.

  Then, she retracted her hand and straightened her body. She stared at the woman’s sleeping face for a long time.

  His dark and deep eyes were deep in thought. His index finger and thumb rubbed gently, and the delicate touch imprinted on it was unusually clear.

  After a long while, he turned around silently and walked to the other side of the bed. He lifted the blanket and lay down.

  She turned off the lights and went to sleep.

  The two of them occupied both sides of the bed. It was as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

  The next day, Yuan Muchun woke up. His swollen eyes were so heavy that it was difficult for him to even open them.

  She rubbed her hands and paused when she saw the white ceiling. Then, she remembered that she had come to her grandparents’ villa alone last night.

  She rolled over and relaxed, but her breath got stuck in her throat.

  She stared at the sleeping face of the strange man beside the bed. Her eyes widened slowly and fear filled them.

  She slowly grabbed the edge of the blanket and lifted it slightly. When she lowered her eyes and saw that she was still wearing her clothes, she finally exhaled.

  But…


  Who was this man?

  Why was he in his grandparents’ room?

  Could it be that she was a thief or an outlaw? She had nowhere to stay and had taken a fancy to her grandparents’ villa, which was uninhabited all year round, so she treated it as her refuge!

  She didn’t know anything, yet she came here alone and slept on the same bed as him?!

  Her heart suddenly pounded. She gritted her teeth and got out of bed as softly as possible. She tiptoed out of the room.

  She ran all the way downstairs and found the landline. Without thinking, she grabbed the microphone and pressed 110…


  Not long after Wen Xuchen woke up, he was brought to the police station by two uniformed men who had barged into his bedroom…


  –


  What happened at Young Master Qin’s birthday party became a hot topic the next day.

  The incident between Yuan Sichun and Young Master Qin was exposed. Old Lady Qin even rejected Yuan Sichun’s proposal to marry into the Qin family on the spot. Ye Zhiqing also used the Yuan family’s name to reprimand the guests and Old Lady Qin.

  This was undoubtedly another day for netizens to complain.

  “What a family. Indeed, we’re all family!”


  “No wonder our daughter bullies others. It’s because she has a snobbish mother.”


  “I pity Second Miss Yuan for being arranged to marry a fool. But Old Lady Qin is indeed stubborn. Her words are too refreshing.”


  “Haha, she should have seen herself clearly this time. She’s a woman that even a fool wouldn’t want. She even thinks that she’s superior to others and wants to marry the CEO of the Bo Consortium. Tsk tsk…”


  “I heard that the new chairman of the Bo Consortium is going to invest in the Yuan Corporation’s new project! With the Yuan family’s current situation, they might lose everything!”


  “What’s there to be afraid of? The Bo Consortium is rich and powerful. Why would they care about this money?”


  “But you can’t do that. Didn’t the previous CEO want to annihilate the Bo Consortium?”


  “The company is gone. What can he do?”


  “Are you stupid? Didn’t you see the news last night? CEO Shen won 20 billion yuan in Las Vegas. In front of the media, he used this 20 billion yuan to bribe the CEO! 20 billion yuan!”


  “That can’t be compared to the Bo Consortium…”


  “Tsk, it’s not easy to destroy the Bo Consortium…”


  Yuan Sichun had not been in a good state since the incident yesterday. She lay on the bed with her eyes wide open.

  She was as lifeless as a corpse.

  However, early in the morning, her screams could be heard from her room.

  Everyone was scared out of their wits and rushed into her bedroom. They found her sitting on the bed, her eyes red and her face hideous as she screamed.

  “Why, why is it always me! B*tch! It’s all because of me! Yuan Muchun, I want to kill her. I want to kill that damn b*tch!”


  The news was abuzz. The servants knew almost everything that happened last night.

  The eldest daughter of the Yuan family, who had always been pampered and arrogant, had slept with a fool. In the end, the other party didn’t want her. They didn’t know how to face her.
