The foreign night and jet lag had burned away all reason. Shen Zhiwei narrowed her eyes languidly, her gaze cutting through the hazy lights to lock onto a jaw-droppingly handsome man. She sauntered over with her drink, bold and direct. “Want to date?”
The all-powerful, arrogant Ninth Master Xie raised an eyebrow and chuckled. To everyone's surprise, he accepted the absurd invitation and casually exchanged contact information with her.
But the next day, once Shen Zhiwei had sobered up, she sent him a breakup text without hesitation, deleted her account, and flew back home. She vanished without leaving so much as a corner of her clothes behind.
In his twenty-eight years, Xie Jinci had never been used and tossed aside before. He stared at the cold message, his knuckles turning white as he clenched his fist, then laughed in fury.
For the next full year, he laid a vast, inescapable net, determined to dig her out no matter how deeply she had hidden.
On the night they met again, amid the clinking glasses and lively chatter, he recognized the woman etched into his very bones at a single glance. His gaze burned with an intensity close to losing control. But Shen Zhiwei looked up from her champagne with cool, distant eyes. “Have we met, sir?”
A murderous glint flashed in Ninth Master Xie's eyes. He grabbed her by the waist and slammed her hard into a corner.
He bent close, his lips brushing her ear as he murmured, dangerous yet tender:
“Running away? You seduced me and then ran?”
“I'll spend the rest of my life settling this score with you, nice and slow.”
