Chapter 1: Playing hard to get?
"the first time?"
In the dimly lit room, on the soft bed, the woman's face was as red as a ripe apple, her breathing rapid, her eyes fixed on the man before her.
"What, business is so good now that people in your line of work are starting to make demands?"
The woman glanced at the man in front of her, feigning composure, and tried to use words to cover up her physical reaction.
Damn!
She was careless and was drugged by the despicable couple. Suddenly, there was a man in the room. If she hadn't managed to escape, she would probably have fallen into their trap.
In her twenty-two years of life, Su Yiran had never been schemed against like this before. She now wished she could tear that despicable couple to pieces!
The drug took effect suddenly, and she originally thought of finding someone to counteract it, but seeing the other person's appearance, it seemed like she had forced herself on him!
She, Su Yiran, doesn't have a penchant for forcing men!
"Coincidentally, I don't like men like you either!"
As she prepared to get up and leave, a strong, powerful hand suddenly gripped her slender waist tightly, rendering her unable to move.
The two were already vastly different in strength, and with the drug taking effect more and more intensely, she collapsed into his arms. A glint of unfathomable light flashed in the man's deep eyes. "You didn't like it, yet you came in. Playing hard to get?"
The other person's deep, magnetic voice echoed in the air, accompanied by a faint chuckle.
"What, you're finally willing to condescend?"
The woman turned her head slightly to meet the man's burning gaze, her lips slightly parted, and she gripped his tie tightly with her palm, giving it a gentle tug.
Under the influence of the medication, her breathing became increasingly rapid.
A pair of slender, soft hands quickly climbed onto the man's shoulders, which were firm and broad. She tilted her head back, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and pressed her lips together, her warm breath falling on his skin.
A night of chaos and debauchery.

Su Yiran regained consciousness the next morning.
Aches and pains coursed through her body, filling every nerve. She got out of bed, recalling the events of the previous night, and her dark eyes briefly lingered on the man on the bed.
The other person had a high, straight nose and perfectly thin lips, making him look like a heartless person, but his flawless face was indeed rare.
"She has a nice face, it's just a pity."
Su Yiran took the wallet, looked through the cash inside, and sighed, "Someone of your character shouldn't be given too little. But I'm too busy to take care of myself right now, and besides, it was my first time. Last night's experience was so-so. In the end, I'm the one who's at a disadvantage. I'll just have to make do."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hundred-yuan bill was placed under the phone.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Su Yiran smiled, patted the man's face, and picked up the clothes scattered on the ground.
Thankfully, it wasn't torn to shreds!
She put on her clothes and left the room.
The door closed, the phone rang, and the man on the bed slowly woke up. He picked up the phone casually, and the bills underneath slipped out. In an instant, the man became fully awake.
The phone stopped ringing in silence.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
His tone was flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
The assistant opened the door and immediately saw the man sitting on the bed.
The man picked up the money; it was a thin, red bill.
"Ah!"
The man's lips curled into a sneer, a mocking laugh born of extreme anger. "Very well!"
The assistant standing to the side was taken aback.
Are you laughing, sir?
The man's words were squeezed out through clenched teeth: "Okay, that's good!"
Last night, someone tampered with his drink. When he returned to his room to rest, a woman barged in, took advantage of him, and even mistook him for a prostitute…
His first time was only worth a hundred?!
"Investigate who tampered with the wine, and..."
The man ordered, "I need to know who the woman was last night!"
"woman?"
The assistant seemed to have heard something out of the blue; his eyes widened as he stared at the man on the bed, and the words of shock slipped out, "You were raped by a woman..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man frowned, his displeasure evident in his expression. The assistant felt a chill run down his spine and abruptly stopped talking.
The man looked at him with a half-smile. "What, you sound excited?"
"No, no, you must have misheard. I'll find that woman right away, but..."
The assistant shook his head and got back to business, "The birthday banquet is about to begin. If you don't leave now, it might be too late."

The thought of losing her virginity for no reason, especially with a strange man, made Su Yiran feel unhappy.
She met her boyfriend four years ago, and he had always treated her very well. Yesterday, she discovered that he had hooked up with her stepsister and even gave her away to someone else for his own selfish reasons, completely disregarding her life or death!
Damn thing!
As soon as Su Yiran left the hotel, she received a phone call.
She took out her phone, looked at the incoming call message, and her eyes darkened.
connected.
"Su Yiran, where the hell have you been? Today is the birthday banquet of the Gu family matriarch. If you dare to be late, I'll skin you alive!"
My mother's voice came from the other end of the phone, each word almost a roar.
When Su Yiran was five years old, her father suddenly passed away, and her mother remarried into the Liu family, becoming Mrs. Liu and successfully entering the upper class of the capital.
The Liu family already had a daughter. After her mother entered the Liu family, she always went along with her wishes and treated her like her own daughter.
"Are you mute? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Not hearing Su Yiran's voice, the person on the other end frowned and said, "Today you must please Old Madam Gu and get your marriage with Chengjing settled. Your Uncle Liu's company is in a crucial stage of development and needs the Gu family's help. You've been eating and living in the Liu family for over ten years; you should repay their kindness!"
To repay kindness?
Su Yiran chuckled softly.
She met Gu Chengjing through the matchmaking of the Liu family.
Gu Chengjing is the apple of the Gu family's eye. Su Yiran was attracted to his integrity, gentleness and thoughtfulness, which is why she tried dating him.
During our courtship, he was indeed as humble and polite as rumored, never engaging in ambiguous relationships with other women, making him the most suitable candidate for marriage.
But appearances can be deceiving, and this very person ended up having an affair with her stepsister.
Su Yiran asked, "Mom, do you know what kind of person Liu Jiaojiao is?"
"What's wrong with you?"
The voice on the other end sounded slightly impatient, "Jiaojiao isn't in good health. Her mother passed away when she was young, so she's already pitiful. Can't you be a little more sensible and stop bullying your sister?"
Is Liu Jiaojiao pitiful, but she isn't?
Zhao Jiaojiao lost her biological mother, but she also received maternal love.
As for her, her father passed away, and she has a mother, but in this situation, what difference is there between her and someone else?
Her mother is always so biased!
For the past ten years or so, she had been mindful of her mother's situation in the Liu family, and had endured all kinds of humiliation and tolerance towards Liu Jiaojiao.
Since that's the case, don't blame her for being ruthless!
"Don't worry, Mother. I know how the Liu family has treated me, and I will never forget their kindness. Today, I will ensure that the Gu family and the Liu family can successfully form a marriage alliance!"
"That's what a good daughter is like..."
Liu Jiaojiao's good days are over!
Su Yiran hung up the phone, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Gu family's old house.
