Xia Ruoxin sat on the couch and flipped a magazine.

  Du Jingtang pointed. “Is it okay?”


  “Yep.” Chu Lui had no intention of avoiding Xia Ruoxin as he would not hide anything from her.

  “Okay.” Du Jingtang understood and pulled a chair over to sit in front of Chu Lui. “Brother, this project is too big; it’s just like taking our entire company for a gamble. If it succeeds, our company will expand two times. If we fail, then the whole company will downsize to seventy percent. Honestly, Brother, this is the biggest opportunity for our company since we started, but it’s also the biggest risk.”


  “Opportunities come hand in hand with risks.”


  Chu Lui lightly signed the paper, and the pen moved in his hand like it was alive, almost becoming one with his finger.

  “I believe my eyes.” Chu Lui sat up and was pretty confident in himself. Of course, this was not arrogance.

  Du Jingtang was still pretty worried. “However, what happens if someone buys that land earlier than us? Even though no one wants that land now, perhaps someone would discover the uses of that land?”


  “It won’t happen.” Chu Lui threw down his pen. “That land has been empty for three years, and I have also waited for three years.

  Du Jingtang was still anxious. If the land was really bought away by someone, then their investment would go down the drain.

  It was not that he had no guts, but he really did not feel very secure to put all the company’s assets on this one investment. If something happened and works could not carry on as planned, it would be scary for their credibility. Also, they had owed the banks quite a bit of money. Regardless of how big the Chu Enterprise was and how many employees they had, their recent projects all had relations with the banks.

  The banks took advantage of them, and they took advantage of others. This food chain was normal.

  Chu Lui was just nice the owner of this food chain.

  Xia Ruoxin continued to flip her magazine; they were all beauty magazines with the latest international makeup, clothes, and accessories in it. In the past, Xia Yixuan loved to read these kinds of magazines. Once it came out, she would fight to grab the pieces. Many of them were limited; thus, the worldwide distribution was very low.

  Women all loved to compare, especially the wealthy ones. Whatever the other party had, they needed to have, too; this was called following the trend. Whatever they had and the other party did not, this was called ability. Hence, these people would spend all their money to buy things they wanted.

  “Is there anything that you like?” Chu Lui had already finished speaking with Du Jingtang as he sat over and took Xia Ruoxin’s magazine. “What do you like?”


  Xia Ruoxin pointed at some clothes in the magazine. “This is not bad.”


  Chu Lui flipped to that page, and it was indeed not bad as it suited her pretty well. Of course, the price reflected the same. Everything that could appear in this magazine was designed by renowned designers and was the latest trends of the season.

  “If you like it, then have it.” Chu Lui did not even blink or check the price. He whipped out his phone and gave someone a call.

  The next day, someone sent over an international express package.

  Xia Ruoxin placed the package on her knees and opened it. Inside, there was actually the set of clothes that she saw in the magazine. It was pretty expensive. Was it not heavy to wear so much money on her body?

  However, she did like this outfit. She picked it up and went to the changing room to try it. The clothes were made based on her measurements and especially suited at the waist area. The clothes were also soft, and air could enter easily. It was no wonder that people liked this kind of luxury. It turned out that expensive items had their own benefits other than showing off one’s status.

  She arranged her hair and took out a wig. Not sure from when, but she started liking wigs and would put all her sadness and scars in it, giving others a flawless appearance.

  The wig was curly and light green, which matched her white skin color.

  Then, she changed into a pair of high heels and twirled in front of the mirror.

  No matter where, she looked perfect; there was nothing extra about her appearance. When she took her bag and was about to leave, Chu Lui walked in. Once he saw her, his eyes lit up.

  As expected, this outfit really suited her.

  He walked in and touched her wig. “Why are you wearing this again?” He did not really like her wearing wigs every day. Even though her original hair was a little short, it was not ugly and was short and sweet; it felt pretty real. Why must she wear this thing that was heavy and humid?

  “It looks nice.” Xia Ruoxin swept her light green loose strands as her crystal-like eyes met with the man’s warm gaze.

  Suddenly, her back was against the wall, and the man was putting pressure on her.

  “I just put on my makeup.” She was slightly away from the man’s lips pressing down, but she could not avoid the man’s scent that was filled with lust and a feeling that sent sparks down someone’s spine.

  “It’s okay; I’ll help you draw it again in a while.” Once he finished talking, he pressed his lips on hers to trap her light pink lips. He tasted something sweet; perhaps it was her lipstick or her body scent.

  Quickly, his body had a reflex. He was supposed to resist it, but he did not want to and directly rolled her clothes up. Then, he pressed her body tightly against him, and both of them were as close as ever.

  Originally, he was already much taller than her, and her body was exceptionally soft. They were like a match made in heaven; even in terms of their body, they were very harmonious.

  Xia Ruoxin moaned lightly, and her white arms were around the man’s neck.

  “Do you like it?” The man’s body went forward with his beastly eyes, and his hands encircled around her thin waist. At this time, the interaction between their bodies made them addicted as if every night and day was not enough…… as if they wanted each other to melt into their bodies and their lives.

  At this time, they were very intimate. At this time, they were flawless.

  At this time, they were not each other; they were one person. They were supposed to be a couple, but they had lost each other for too long. It turned out that some people really could not be separated.

  It was until both their breathing returned to normal, and Xia Ruoxin was leaning on Chu Lui’s shoulders. Her lips curved downwards and let out pain from her mouth.

  Chu Lui’s big hand was patting her back lightly to comfort her.
