A Chance Encounter

"Forty million. Want to bet you can get Si Yan to fall for you?"

Amid the rowdy jeers, Qi Yue downed another glass of wine and slurred, "I'm in!"

Si Yan, the rising venture capital star of B City, was said to be a man of exceptional bearing who could make capital dance in the palm of his hand.

He was also known as a man of apocalyptic difficulty.

The reason was that women of every sort threw themselves at him, yet not one could catch his eye.

Then came a rumor that Si Yan had given a second glance to a single woman: a delicate beauty with waist-length black hair and a white dress.

When Qi Yue sobered up, she stared dumbfounded at her short purple hair, chest tattoo, and cropped top.

For the forty million, Qi Yue swallowed her pride, put in long extensions, changed into a white dress that completely covered her tattoo, and followed Si Yan around every day, calling him "big brother" this and "big brother" that.

After ten months of patiently biding her time, she finally won. All she wanted was to take the money and leave.

But the man, who had always cared only about work, suddenly looked displeased. "A bet?" He ran his fingers over the pure white cup. "Qi Yue, what do you think this place is? You can come and go as you please?"

The man's casual remark, "If you really had a head for business, you'd know that staying by my side is how you'll make the most money," made Qi Yue waver. For money, limited-edition handbags, and sports cars, she was willing to keep playing the part in her white dress!

She'd always thought she was just a stand-in for his first love, until one day she wandered into Si Yan's study and found a photo of herself tucked into one of his books.

In it, her hair was dyed a riot of colors, she wore earrings, and she was giving the photographer a huge middle finger.

Her: !!!

Trash Si Yan! He tricked her into acting, just to laugh at her! She's done!
