He squinted coldly at this spendthrift, his heart unmoved, yet he had no intention of letting him go. He nodded to indicate that he understood, and slowly said to Sheng Lun, who was straightening his collar with a self-righteous expression, "Your painting is worthless, you have no money." This pretty boy really doesn't seem reliable.

"So what?" Sheng Lun asked, his face ashen.

“My cronies aren’t answering your calls anymore,” Lei Xuan continued.

Sheng Lun's hands were trembling; he clearly hadn't expected to be hung up on. Just moments before, these were people who had been so warm and had promised to be friends forever.

"You owe 300,000, so you'll have to stay and work at Lei's until you pay it back before you can leave." Otherwise, if everyone dines and dashes, even CEO Lei will go bankrupt. He dragged the struggling Sheng Lun out of the restaurant, gesturing to close the door to block the view of everyone inside. Then, looking at Sheng Lun, whose face had changed in front of him, he slowly said, "You don't need to bother the Sheng family, because they already have Shu Shu." He waved his hand, and several burly men walked past from a corner of the hotel, casually saying under Sheng Lun's terrified gaze, "Take him to the dock, don't let him escape."

He shook his hand, signaling to gag Sheng Lun amidst her fierce struggle, and slowly walked back to Shen Wangshu.

He sat down again and began to eat.

"Where is he?" Sheng Lun owed the hotel room fee, and it was definitely not acceptable not to pay it back, so Shen Wangshu asked softly.

“He should pay back the money he owes.” Lei Xuan reached out and cut a piece of steak for Shen Wangshu, pushing it back in front of her. He then buried his head in his steak and continued cutting it, saying coldly, “The Lei family has a dock here that specializes in unloading containers. His path as an artist is blocked, and he can’t pay back the money, so we’ll make him work as a laborer, moving boxes. We’ll let him go when he’s earned 300,000.”

Sheng Lun looks like a pretty face but nothing more than a laborer. What else can he do besides physical labor? If it weren't for the fear of damaging the Sheng family's reputation, Lei Xuan would send all these kinds of people to nightclubs! Besides, does someone who owes money expect to be treated so comfortably, washing dishes and having a hotel provide him with accommodation and continue to support him?

Stop dreaming.

Since you dare to owe money, you should be prepared to do hard labor and risk your life.

Do they really think the Lei family is the Virgin Mary?

"When will he be able to earn enough for 300,000?" Shen Wangshu's lips twitched immediately.

With Sheng Lun's small frame, carrying boxes would kill him.

Lei Xuan, unperturbed, raised his hand and grasped Shen Wangshu's hand. His gaze was deep and unfathomable; as he looked at Shen Wangshu, the light reflected in his eyes, dazzling and mesmerizing.

Bewitched by his gaze, Shen Wangshu had no idea about Sheng Lun's tragic fate. She simply smiled and clasped Lei Xuan's hand tightly, the two of them gazing at each other for a long time.

With soothing piano music playing in her ears and the city lights stretching out like a sea below, Shen Wangshu felt a sense of peace and warmth in her heart. She whispered, "Let's come here again sometime."

She couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Lei Xuan nod, they ate together. The meal was quite interesting. As Sheng Lun was taken away by Lei Xuan, Shen Wangshu felt he deserved it. In his previous life, this brother had ruined the entire Sheng family, causing them to fall into a miserable state and preventing Sheng's parents from enjoying their old age in peace.

Now, it's time for him to know what hard work really means.

She didn't take Sheng Lun seriously. After having dinner with Lei Xuan, she went home, arriving home in the middle of the night.

Looking at the dark villa, Lei Xuan's eyes suddenly flickered. He and Shen Wangshu were walking on the villa's path when he suddenly reached out and pinned Shen Wangshu against the trunk of a tree.

The rough tree made Shen Wangshu feel a very strange sensation on her soft back. She groaned, and then felt a hot kiss land on her lips in the night. The kiss pressed down on her with a touch of dominance, lingering on her lips for a moment before deepening, quickly robbing her of her breath and reason.

A pair of somewhat rough hands slipped inside her waist, caressing upwards and exploring her softness with long, slender fingertips.

She felt the body pressing down on her, as hard as the tree trunk behind her.

Lei Xuan was clearly inexperienced, and just kissed and nibbled haphazardly, holding her tighter and tighter.

His breath was so hot it sent shivers down one's spine; Shen Wangshu almost melted into his warmth.

Softness and hardness, she couldn't help but cling to his shoulders, surrendering all her weight to him.

"Let's sleep together." Lei Xuan's cold voice was now tinged with warmth and eagerness. His breathing quickened, his eyes reddened slightly, and his emotionless demeanor was gone.

Clearly, his "sleeping together" was not simply about telling fairy tales.

A sense of emptiness and unbearable unease arose in Shen Wangshu's heart. She nodded as she clung to him, her body going limp, but she refused to be carried to the villa by Lei Xuan. Instead, she nestled in his arms and walked into the villa together.

The villa was quiet; even the servants were asleep. Shen Wangshu's steps were unsteady. Through the sliver of light outside, she saw Lei Xuan hurriedly loosening his suit tie. Thinking of his fervent desire for her, she blushed again. She almost couldn't wait to go back to her room with Lei Xuan, but just as she passed the living room, she heard soft sounds coming from inside. Then, the dim floor lamp turned on, and two fluffy little creatures pounced on her.

Before Shen Wangshu could react, two children grabbed her legs.

"Why did it take you so long to get back, Auntie?" the snow-white little rabbit asked pitifully, her eyes red with tears.
