Quan Ye always likes to have a little something after drinking.

Su Li placed her hands on his chest and quickly said, "You haven't taken a shower yet."

"Wash it after you've done it."

He pulled her hands away and buried his face in her neck.

Continue downwards.

Warmth enveloped her entire body.

Su Li thought to herself, "It's only the last few nights anyway, so let him do whatever he wants."

Quan Ye didn't drink much tonight, but he was in high spirits and dragged her along several times.

From the king-size bed to the floor-to-ceiling windows, sofa, and bathroom...

I visited every place.

In the end, her legs became so sore that she couldn't stand up straight, and he had to support her back.

After finishing, Su Li was so exhausted that she fell asleep immediately.

Quan Ye went in to take a shower, and when he came out, he saw her sleeping soundly, the blanket pulled up to her waist. There were several hickeys on her fair and tender skin, especially the two on the front, as well as his handprint.

They were bullied terribly.

He went over and covered her with the blanket, then gently stroked the hair on her forehead.

The phone on the bedside table rang.

Quan Ye got up and went outside to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Speak."

"Master Quan, that kid Bart is definitely acting strangely. As you instructed, I had people follow him and discovered that he's bought several villas in Haicheng. Tonight, he also met with several business executives who had previously clashed with us. I had someone sneak in and eavesdrop. He's recruiting, planning to use our group's name to do some shady business after we officially reach a cooperation agreement."

This will ruin the reputation of the Quan family, and he can then take advantage of the situation to profit from it. He's really cunning."

Does John know about this?

“I don’t know. John didn’t think much of Bart at first, but Bart’s father personally begged him, so John had no choice but to let him join the company. Bart doesn’t know anything about business. He’s involved in organized crime in France, and for some reason, he has several sums of dirty money that he can’t come out. What he’s doing now is just to launder money.”

“He won’t be arrogant for long. First, send John’s email with details of his every move in Haicheng.”

"good."

Quan Ye stared at the night sky and said calmly, "Have someone keep an eye on him. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, he turned and went back to his room.

I had just sat down on the edge of the bed when I suddenly noticed the person next to me move.

Su Li seemed to be having a nightmare; her brows were furrowed, she was covered in sweat, and she was clutching the blanket tightly with both hands.

Quan Ye reached out and touched her forehead. "Su Li?"

"No, no."

She was muttering in her sleep.

She dreamt of that night ten years ago, in a dark room, where no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't push away that heavy object.

She felt wronged, desperate, and suffocated, and at one point even considered biting her tongue to commit suicide.

A warm embrace enveloped her, gradually pulling her out of the dream.

Su Li's brows relaxed, and she slept soundly.

Quan Ye held her in his arms and gently stroked her back as if he were coaxing a child.

I don't know what she was dreaming about, that made her so scared.

The next morning, when Su Li woke up, she found herself lying in his arms.

He usually gets up very early, and she usually doesn't see him when she wakes up.

Today is quite unusual.

She gazed quietly at his profile. When he slept, he no longer had that domineering air about him; he seemed much more approachable.

She has a high, straight nose, beautiful thin lips, and great skin.

Actually, he's just a bit cold-tempered, but otherwise he's fine.

Rich, powerful, and exceptionally handsome—this is one in a million, and you might not even find someone like him.

I'm reminded of Meng Sangsang's words, "Considering your boss is so handsome and rich, and he pays you a high salary, don't quit your job."

The next second, Su Li slapped her head hard.

Absolutely must not waver!

"Are you slapping your head first thing in the morning to give yourself a pep talk?"

The man's deep, magnetic voice, as if he had just woken up, reached her ears, making her heart tighten.
