In the afternoon, Qin Yuheng suggested going to the villa's golf driving range for some exercise. Ning Yunmeng readily agreed and changed into a fitted sportswear, looking even more youthful and energetic.
Qin Yuheng personally taught her how to swing the club, his gesture intimate and patient. He stood behind her, his arms wrapped around her body, adjusting her position manually, his warm breath spraying on her ear.
"Relax your arms, use your waist to strengthen... yes, that's it..." His voice was low and magnetic, with a bewitching power.
Ning Yunmeng cooperated with a slightly red face, her body seemed to stiffen slightly due to his approach (but her heart was calm), and she tried hard to swing the club.
The white golf ball drew an imperfect arc and landed on the grass in the distance.
"Great!" Qin Yuheng praised generously with a bright smile, "Yunmeng, you are very talented!"
The two spent most of the afternoon at the practice field. Qin Yuheng's gentleness, thoughtfulness and just the right amount of physical contact made him play the role of "boyfriend in love" to the fullest.
Ning Yunmeng also cooperated and played the role of a little woman who was cared for and pampered, enjoying this false sweetness.
She even began to fantasize that after she overthrew Ning Xiwan, she would become the only daughter of the Ning family again, and then firmly hold on to Qin Yuheng, the rich son-in-law... That was the life that Ning Yunmeng deserved!
Towards evening, Qin Yuheng received a call from the company, and it seemed that there was an urgent matter that needed his attention.
He said to Ning Yunmeng with a hint of apology: "Yunmeng, I have to go take care of something. I may be back later to have dinner with you. Eat something first. Don't go hungry."
"Well, Brother Yuheng, you go and get busy. Work is important." Ning Yunmeng nodded understandingly.
Qin Yuheng placed a gentle kiss on her forehead (Ning Yunmeng forced herself not to dodge), then turned and left, his back straight and elegant.
Ning Yunmeng watched him disappear at the exit of the training ground. The gentle smile on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold scrutiny and a hint of imperceptible pride.
She swung a few more clubs alone on the driving range, but her mind was already far away.
The "south city plot" and "Planning Bureau" that Qin Yuheng mentioned...could this be an opportunity? If he could get some inside information about the Qin family's projects, he would have more leverage with the Ning family, and even with Qin Yuheng himself...
As she pondered this, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a multimedia message from an unknown number with no signature. Ning Yunmeng frowned and clicked it.
A photo popped up instantly!
The background of the photo looked like a private room in a luxurious club. The light was a little dim, but the protagonist of the photo—Qin Yuheng—could be clearly seen.
He sat on a large leather sofa, his posture lazy and relaxed. And next to him, sitting right next to him, was another man.
That man also possessed a breathtakingly handsome appearance. Unlike Qin Yuheng's delicate and flamboyant beauty, his was a more austere and aggressive handsomeness.
Deep brow bones, a high nose bridge, and thin lips pressed into a cold, straight line. He wore a perfectly tailored black suit, meticulously executed, and exuded the powerful aura of someone who had long held a high position and was in control of everything.
What frightened Ning Yunmeng the most were his eyes - they were a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pond, cold, sharp, and without any warmth, as if they could see through the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to Qin Yuheng's words, his eyes focused. In that focus... there seemed to be a subtle hint of indulgence, completely different from his cold exterior...
The angle of the photo was perfect, capturing the moment when Qin Yuheng slightly raised his head to look at the man.
The expression on Qin Yuheng's face was one Ning Yunmeng had never seen before. It was an expression that showed he had completely stripped off all disguise and all defenses.
There was no deliberate tenderness, no false affection, only pure, undisguised... obsession? Or even... devotion?
In those beautiful phoenix eyes, there was a burning light that was almost pathological, as if the person in his eyes was the center of his entire world.
It is his only light and faith! That look, focused, passionate, desperate, and even carries a sense of sacrifice like a moth to a flame.
And that stern man, although his expression was still indifferent, his hand on his knee naturally covered the back of Qin Yuheng's hand casually placed on the edge of the sofa. It was a gesture full of possessiveness and protection.
The MMS message contained no words. But this silent image, like a thunderbolt tearing through the night sky, struck Ning Yunmeng's head fiercely!
Her blood seemed to freeze instantly, and the hand holding the phone began to tremble violently, her knuckles turning white from the force!
Who is that man?!
Qin Yuheng... How could he look at a man like that?!
What is their relationship?!
An icy chill instantly spread from her feet throughout her body, making her feel like she was falling into an icy cave! The beautiful dream she had carefully woven, the sharp blade she thought she had firmly grasped in her hand, at this moment, seemed to reveal its ferocious and unfamiliar fangs!
Ning Yunmeng didn't know how she got back to the "Xuejian" suite. Like a puppet with its soul drained out, she sat down on the cold carpet in despair, her back against the huge French window.
The snow-capped peaks outside the window were reduced to vague outlines in the twilight, just like her confused and frightened mood at the moment.
The photo flashed repeatedly in her mind like a maggot in her tarsal bones.
Qin Yuheng's eyes, filled with obsession and devotion, the stern man's hand covering his... every detail was like a red-hot iron, burning her heart and making her tremble. She felt an unprecedented panic and... the anger of being fooled!
