1.

Lin Yang first met Fu Huaizhi at Tanyuan. At the time, her boyfriend was clutching the invitation card he'd gone to great lengths to get, saying he wanted to show her the world.

As everyone bowed in unison, Lin Yang saw a man appear, his dark double-breasted coat wrapped around an austere aura. Her boyfriend dragged her through the crowd to stand before him, smiling obsequiously. "Brother Huai, this is my girlfriend."

Fu Huaizhi casually flicked ash from his cigarette, raised his eyes, and looked her over for a few seconds before sneering. "Not bad taste, but she's out of your league."

Lin Yang's nape suddenly prickled. The man's gaze was too possessive. He scared her.

2.

When her boyfriend's career ran into trouble, she swallowed her pride and asked for help, her heart sincere. "Mr. Fu, please help him."

Fu Huaizhi idly tapped his fingers, then glanced out the window. Lin Yang followed his gaze and froze.

Her wonderful boyfriend was embracing a beautiful woman as they entered a revolving hotel across the street.

Her eyes instantly reddened, her fingers trembling. At some point, the man had come to stand beside her. His suit jacket, scented with sandalwood and ink, brushed her quivering shoulder. "Isn't it ironic to ask me for help on his behalf?"

3.

On a rainy night at Tanyuan, Lin Yang's ex-boyfriend came back to harass her. Fu Huaizhi caught them and took her to the bedroom, just across the wall, pinning her against the bed. His thumb traced the red marks on her neck.

His grip was both fierce and forceful.

She could only grit her teeth and endure it. Fu Huaizhi grabbed her ankle and pressed it against his waist, his hot, ragged breath falling over her as he coaxed, "Call out. Let him hear who you belong to now."

Little Scene:

Before Lin Yang left Tanyuan with her boyfriend, she innocently asked, "Does Tanyuan usually charge an admission fee? How much per person?"

Her boyfriend gave her two disbelieving looks and whispered a warning. "This is Brother Huai's home. You're not allowed in."

"Oh."

Fu Huaizhi, who had been smoking behind the crabapple blossoms, stepped out. Hearing the girl's question, he curled his lips into a thoughtful smile and said, though it was unclear who he meant it for, "From now on, this is your home too."

[An Untouchable Beauty Anyone Can Claim / Age Gap / A Calculated Plan to Steal Her Away]

[Powerful Beijing Socialite x Beautiful, Ambitious Woman]

Since childhood, Lan Zhi and her younger sister have been at odds. Anything Lan Zhi liked, her sister would steal from her.

She even stole her boyfriend.

Seeing her younger sister flirting and getting cozy with that man, Lan Zhi felt her heart clench, nausea surging through her.

When she learned of her sister's death, shock was followed by a secret rush of delight.

She actually felt pleased.

Everyone in their circle was saying that Tan Simo, the youngest person in power in the capital, had recently started dating.

The man was always deep and ruthless, distant with everyone, yet he doted on that young woman like no other.

Everyone was intensely curious: What kind of woman could make someone as unattainable as Tan Simo willingly lower his head?

Later, someone finally got the chance to learn that the woman's name was Lan Zhi.

Someone else 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, and the look he gave the young woman was full of undisguised, addictive desire.

Later, word got around that the young woman wanted to see the Northern Lights in Iceland in the middle of the night, then wanted to run off to feed the pigeons at Trafalgar Square. Tan Simo put aside his work and agreed to both, one by one.

Everyone thought the two of them would soon be getting married.

Finally, someone asked Lan Zhi directly. The girl only smiled for some reason.

She knew they could never have a future.

Because Tan Simo was her boyfriend's uncle.

Little Scene:

On the vast African savanna, the sunset glowed gold and red. A black off-road vehicle was parked in a secluded spot.

Tan Simo trapped Lan Zhi against his chest, holding her fast in his arms. Her breathing was uneven, a red mark visible on her collarbone.

He leaned down, his nose brushing her red lips, close but not quite touching.

Lan Zhi couldn't take it any longer. She lifted her chin to chase his lips, but Tan Simo turned his head and dodged, refusing to give her what she wanted.

"Don't... Please, kiss me." The corners of Lan Zhi's eyes reddened as she begged.

The man pinched her chin between his fingers, his breath scorching hot, and forced her to look at him. "Will you still dare to leave without saying a word next time?"

Lan Zhi pressed her lips eagerly against his and took them into her mouth. "No... Mmm..."

#Lan Zhi thought she had the upper hand, never realizing that Tan Simo had laid out the whole game for her from the very beginning#

#She was his desire, and he had been addicted all along#
