Sweetly Spoiled

1.

At the banquet, people kept bringing up Cen Yibai. Wen Yu listened to every word, her heart tightening.

He was a rising star in the business world, with an impressive resume. He had written programs for internationally renowned research institutions, and after entering the business world, he had been decisive and ruthless. No one in Tancheng's social elite dared cross him.

Anyone with even the slightest connection to him could enjoy his reflected glory. Even a pig would be treated with courtesy.

.

A friend, curious, asked Cen Yibai who he'd been looking at just now. Cen Yibai replied coldly, "Nobody."

Someone suddenly took an interest in Wen Yu and said to Cen Yibai, "How did a third-rate celebrity get in here? Could she be after you, Mr. Cen?"

Cen Yibai's expression remained cool and indifferent, as if he didn't care.

Wen Yu's nose stung, and she ran off without a trace.

2.

A gossip account posted a rumor that the head of the Cen family had been dead drunk in the street.

Wen Yu didn't believe the story, assuming the paparazzi were just trying to grab attention.

She woke with a start in the middle of the night. Someone was making a racket, pounding on the door of her rental apartment so loudly it shook the place.

She picked up her phone to call the police, but when she looked through the peephole, she froze.

.

Cen Yibai stood outside her apartment, his expression icy. He looked like a thug as he strode into her place, hoisted her over his shoulder without a word, carried her back to the bedroom, and tossed her onto the bed. One large hand rudely pinched her cheeks.

He reeked of alcohol, yet his eyes were startlingly bright.

"How far do you think you can run?"

Gritting his teeth, the man wrapped a large hand around her waist. A burning sensation surged from his fingertips across every inch of her.

"I really did spoil you for nothing, didn't I, little sister?"

"..."

Wen Yu froze. She had barely managed to call him "Brother" when the man's dark eyes quivered and his pupils contracted. His large hand gripped her chin, and he kissed her fiercely.

3.

That day, Cen Yibai left behind a white-gold cigarette case. Thinking it was valuable, Wen Yu found some spare time and went to the Cen Group's headquarters to return it.

Cen Yibai's manner was strictly businesslike. "You're getting close to the man who tried to force a kiss on you, Miss Wen. You never learn."

"..."

.

Later, when a jealous hater harassed her at a hotel, Cen Yibai easily dealt with them. He took her to a hotel room and bandaged the wound the hater had slashed into her. His manner remained distant and cool.

When she offered to repay him, Cen Yibai pulled a black bank card from his wallet.

"Since you want to repay me, Miss Wen, do as I say."

"I need a wife to accompany me to certain events. My family is also pressuring me, and I need a wife right now."

"You know what I mean, Miss Wen."

"The house needs the lived-in feel of a lady of the house. So it doesn't look suspicious, you can use your free time to buy some household necessities and personal items. Buy whatever you like."

"xxxxxx is the bank card PIN."

Wen Yu: "..."
