In the upper echelons of show business, when people talked about Rui Can, they didn't just admire her face, as radiant as vermilion and as dazzling as a lotus in bloom. What they loved to gossip about was her blunt, spoiled nature. She did whatever she pleased, flaunted her beauty, and seemed like a bold, gorgeous snake.
The young lady never put up with anything she didn't like.
But to keep her glamorous lifestyle from falling apart, Rui Can held her nose and married Yan Xubai, her former fling.
Then she wound up in bed with a man she'd never even met.
-
Born a darling of the heavens, Rui Can grew up with the world revolving around her. Her biggest worry in life was that the Paraiba tourmaline she wanted had ended up in someone else's hands.
The first time she ever stumbled in life was over Yan Xubai.
She held a grudge, even though the man before her held power and sat high on his untouchable throne.
She still lifted her delicate chin, her silken voice like a fine wine shimmering with jewels, and spoke with a taunting, almost charitable air:
"Yan Xubai, even if we're married, I will never love you."
"This is the special punishment I'm granting you for hurting me back then."
-
A marriage of convenience, outwardly harmonious but inwardly distant, seemed like the best arrangement for them.
But how could Yan Xubai ever accept things ending that way between him and Rui Can?
He schemed and resorted to any means necessary to become Rui Can's secret lover, outside the bounds of their respectable marriage.
No one knew that in the dazzling world of fame and fortune, this elegant, immaculate man, always welcomed as an honored guest, would bow in absolute submission and lick every inch of Rui Can's skin to please her.
Her pleasure and comfort came first. That was Yan Xubai's rule.
Rui Can's breathing was unsteady. Still shaken by how close they'd come to being discovered, she scolded her out-of-control "lover":
"Are you a dog? I barely crook my finger and you come running?"
The man didn't take offense. Instead, he chuckled, his chest trembling with delighted laughter. "Then we're made for each other."
"What?"
Yan Jibai stole Rui Can's breath with a kiss, then trailed warm, lingering kisses to her ear. He said, "I barely crook my finger and you come running, too."
-
When she learned the truth, Rui Can was furious at having been played. She grabbed the Birkin in her hand and hurled it at the tall, striking man in front of her, kicking and cursing him:
"Yan Xubai! You're shameless! Disgusting! I hate you! I want a divorce!"
His wife's sparkling diamond scraped a bright streak of blood across Yan Xubai's flawless cheek, but he didn't care.
Like a beast that devoured its prey whole, he drove her to tears, then wrapped his arms around her like iron shackles and placed his sincere heart in her hands.
"It's okay. I love you."
"We'll get divorced only if I'm dead."
