Daytime Addiction [The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead]

[A high-and-mighty beauty anyone can have / Age gap / A carefully plotted plan to steal her away]

[Powerful Beijing socialite ✖️ Beautiful, ambitious schemer]

From childhood, Lan Zhi and her younger sister seemed destined to clash. Anything Lan Zhi liked was bound to be snatched away.

Even her boyfriend was taken from her.

When Lan Zhi saw her sister flirting and getting intimate with that man, her heart clenched and disgust welled up inside her.

When she learned of her sister’s death, shock gave way to a secret sense of delight.

She actually felt relieved.

Everyone in their circle was talking about Tan Simo, the youngest person in power in the capital’s elite circles. He’d recently started dating someone.

The man was always inscrutable and ruthless, and treated everyone with cool indifference. But he doted on that girl like no other.

Everyone was dying to know: What kind of girl could make someone as untouchable as Tan Simo willingly lower his head?

Much later, someone finally managed to find out that the girl’s name was Lan Zhi.

One person even happened to catch a glimpse of them in the back seat of a black Rolls-Royce. Tan Simo was indulgently coaxing Lan Zhi in his arms, looking down at her with an undisguised, addictive desire.

Later, word got around that the girl wanted to go to Iceland in the middle of the night to see the aurora, and then wanted to feed pigeons in Trafalgar Square. Tan Simo canceled his work and agreed to take her to both places.

Everyone thought the two were on the verge of making things official.

At last, someone worked up the nerve to ask Lan Zhi about it. The girl only smiled for some reason.

She knew they would never have a future.

Because Tan Simo was her boyfriend’s uncle.

Little Scene:

On the vast African savanna, the setting sun stained the sky gold and crimson. A black SUV was parked in a secluded spot.

Tan Simo held Lan Zhi against his chest, pinning her in place with his palm. Her breathing was uneven, and a red mark showed at her collarbone.

He bent down, the tip of his nose touching her red lips, then drew back just enough to tease her.

Unable to bear it, Lan Zhi lifted her chin to chase his lips. Tan Simo turned away, refusing to give her what she wanted.

“Don’t... please... kiss me.” Lan Zhi’s eyes reddened at the corners as she pleaded.

The man gripped her chin between his fingers, his breath scorching hot, and made her look at him. “Will you still leave without saying a word next time?”

Lan Zhi pressed her lips to his and kissed him. “No... Mm...”

#Lan Zhi thinks she has the upper hand, unaware that Tan Simo has been laying the groundwork from the very beginning#

#She is desire itself, and he was addicted long ago#
