Gu Momo narrowed her eyes. "Ye Lingxiao? Is that the newly crowned movie star Ye Lingxiao who was invited by SK Group but ultimately rejected?"

"That's right, Sister Momo, it's him."

Gu Momo's lips curved slightly, and a look of keen interest appeared in her eyes.

Oh? So it was him.

Gu Momo knew this person; he was a noble king who had recently become a sensation abroad and quickly swept the domestic market, gaining countless fans both at home and abroad.

Gu Momo had long heard that he was arrogant and unruly, and had his own unique personality, but she never expected that he would even dare to refuse a cooperation with SK Group.

But is the watch this person is wearing merely a replica of the third Destroyer, or...?

Gu Momo narrowed her eyes and pulled Gu Wanrou towards her room. "We'll investigate Ye Lingxiao's matter tomorrow! Wanrou, why don't you sleep with me tonight? Come to think of it, we've never slept together before!"

Gu Wanrou couldn't help but chuckle, "Sister Momo, you just came back from a long way outside, why don't you go to sleep first? If I sleep with you, I'll disturb you!"

She playfully stuck out her tongue, waved goodbye to Gu Momo as she walked and ran off in a hurry.

Gu Momo's lips twitched. It seemed that tonight would be another lonely night!

Fortunately, there was a newly built outdoor bath on the top floor of Yujing Garden, so she could take a bath there!

Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou both went in their own directions.

Upstairs not far away, Li Jiujiu's stubborn yet clear eyes pierced through the curtains and fixed on the spot where Gu Wanrou's figure disappeared. Her crystal-clear eyes were filled with stubborn tears, refusing to let them fall.

Her father said that she was her biological mother.

She looks so gentle and kind now, but Jiu Jiu doesn't understand why her mother abandoned her back then if she is so gentle and kind.

The more Li Jiujiu thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and tears dripped onto the floor.

She snapped out of her daze and quickly wiped the tears off the floor with her fluffy bunny ear slippers, afraid that someone would notice something was amiss.

Since Mom doesn't love her, then she doesn't need Mommy!

There are enough people in this world, just her and her daddy. Jiu Jiu only loves Jiu Jiu's daddy!

Gu Momo went directly to the rooftop open-air bath.

This place is planted with all kinds of flowers, and countless luxurious decorations have transformed it into a perfect bathing sanctuary.

Gu Momo was about to take off her clothes when suddenly, a subordinate's voice came through her earpiece, "Master, where are you now? We just received news that Li Zhanting seems to suspect you and will probably come knocking on your door soon..."

"They've come knocking on our door?" Gu Momo's crimson lips curled into a playful chuckle. "Whatever."

So what if Li Zhanting suspects her?

When she met Li Zhanting in the black market, she was using a disguised face. Where did Li Zhanting get the evidence?

The subordinate seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "By the way, Master, what medicine did you use on Li Zhanting? My informant said that Li Zhanting's symptoms seem a bit off, like..."

Gu Momo was puzzled. Something was wrong. What was wrong?

She quickly touched herself, only then realizing the meaning behind her subordinate's words.

Wait! The sleeping potion is still on her, but the love charm in her pocket is gone!

Don't tell her that she just used Love Silk Entanglement on Li Zhanting as a love potion?!

Thinking about this, Gu Momo suddenly felt a little irritated.

If Li Zhanting really falls for her love charm, then tonight he probably won't... go find another woman to solve the problem!

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm going to take a bath. Don't bother me unless it's important."

After saying that, she took off her clothes in a irritable mood, put on a clean and simple light gauze nightgown, and stepped into the open-air bath with her long, slender legs.

The gentle touch of the bathtub wafted through her pores, and Gu Momo finally felt completely relaxed.

She took a relaxed breath, her gaze slowly falling on the butterfly imprint reflected on the water's surface.

The butterfly mark, only the size of a thumb, was clearly imprinted on her left shoulder from a young age.

When she was alone before, she never doubted where this butterfly mark came from.

Now that I think about it, if she really did have two older brothers, would they also have this butterfly mark?

As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a terrifying aura coming from behind her.

A sharp, cold light flashed in Gu Momo's eyes. Just as her slender, fair fingers were about to make a move, her moon-like wrist was suddenly gripped tightly by the man.

Gu Momo was about to turn her head and push the man away when she met Li Zhanting's deep, dark eyes, filled with intense desire:

"Gu Momo, how dare you..."

Before Gu Momo could finish speaking, Li Zhanting's intense kiss, filled with an overwhelming possessiveness, came crashing down on her.

Like a wild beast trapped in a cage, he suddenly found an outlet, his wild, domineering, and aggressive kiss deepening as if he wanted to suck out all the alluring fragrance from her tender lips…

"Hmm!"

Gu Momo pressed her body against the edge of the bathtub, her head forced to turn due to the position, enduring the man's possessive kiss. She felt her breath being taken away by Li Zhanting step by step, and even her body became limp.

Suddenly, she mustered all her strength and shoved Li Zhanting away!

"Li Zhanting, you..." She was finally able to take a deep breath, but could only gasp for air.

Li Zhanting looked down at Gu Momo, his long fingers forcefully lifting her chin. In his obsidian-like eyes, a terrifying lust and rage surged.

Gu Momo was forced to tilt her head back, startled by the dark desire in Li Zhanting's eyes...

She never imagined that a man as abstinent as Li Zhanting would reveal such a lustful look in his eyes...

"Li Zhanting, if you do it again..." Gu Momo was both angry and anxious, and quickly attacked Li Zhanting.

Li Zhanting jumped into the bathtub with a splash, sending water flying everywhere.

Li Zhanting's strong and powerful chest pressed against Gu Momo's body like a branding iron.

It fits perfectly without a single gap.

Gu Momo's head felt like it was going to explode; she had never been like this with a man before...

Li Zhanting seemed completely lost in thought, resting his head heavily on Gu Momo's neck. His husky voice was magnetic and incredibly sexy, as if he were constantly trying to seduce Gu Momo's life.

"MoMo, you started this fire yourself, so you're responsible for putting it out..."

Before Gu Momo could react, the man's long, slender fingers gripped her tightly against the edge of the bathtub, and he kissed her lips again...
