[Office Worker vs. Legitimate Club's Top Host] The first time Wen Zhiyao was kicked out of her home, the first time she traveled far away, and the first time she had a one-night stand all involved the same man. She thought she'd never see him again, especially since she didn't even know his name. The only regret was that she'd sacrificed her pride and an expensive Fruit phone, which still annoyed her.
When they met again, they were barely a fist's width apart, sitting in an upscale restaurant and pretending not to know each other.
“Who is he?”
“Michelle personally picked him to escort me.”
“What?!” Wen Zhiyao felt as if the sky had fallen. Seizing the chance while she and the man were alone, she forced a smile and held out her QR code. “Hey, handsome, want to add me?”
Back home, Qiao Yu flopped onto the bed after a shower. His phone lit up, and he saw a few glaring words: [How about we pick a time to go get checked out together?] His mouth twitched. So she'd taken him for someone who did that kind of work? He blocked her immediately.
As it happened, the new job was on the very island where they had first met. Wen Zhiyao's attempt to fake an illness failed, and her boss made her get on the plane. When she arrived, Qiao Yu sat there with a cold expression, fiddling with his phone and refusing to give her the time of day. Wen Zhiyao swore she wouldn't touch alcohol during this trip and would have absolutely nothing to do with a certain someone.
“Do you remember? You wouldn't let go of me here.” Qiao Yu had had a little to drink. His face flushed red as he blocked Wen Zhiyao's way and leaned against her shoulder to ask.
Too frightened to even breathe loudly, Wen Zhiyao muttered, “Just forget it. Pretend I was sick.”
Qiao Yu smiled, bent down, and scooped her up in his arms before carrying her into the room.
“Then I was sick too.”
