He sat down next to his brother, holding his chin, and looked intently at the profile of Qin Yuzheng as he drank soup. His eyes were gentle and focused, with complete dependence.
"Brother, is the soup delicious?"
"Um."
Outside the window, the city's steel forest glowed coldly under the bright April sun, like a huge, precisely moving chessboard.
On an April afternoon, sunlight shines through the clear glass dome, casting shimmering golden light on the surface of the huge indoor heated swimming pool.
This is the swimming pool area of "Yunjing", the top private club under the Qin Group, which is only for the most core members.
The air is filled with a unique scent mixed with disinfectant and expensive fragrance, and the soothing sound of circulating water makes the space even more quiet and luxurious.
Outside the huge viewing window is a perfectly trimmed Japanese garden. Several late cherry trees are in full bloom, and their pink and white petals fall in the wind, sticking to the moss trimmed into geometric shapes, adding a touch of fragile spring.
Qin Yuzheng leaned back on a large white lounge chair. He wore simple black swimming trunks, revealing a well-defined upper body with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, covered in a thin layer of well-proportioned muscle. His lines were smooth and powerful, like an ancient Greek sculpture.
The sunlight outlined the cold and deep profile of his face, and his long eyelashes drooped, covering the ice in his eyes that had not melted for thousands of years.
He was holding a tablet in his hand, seemingly reading a document. The calm aura emanating from him isolated him from the noise of the swimming pool, creating his own area where he could not be disturbed.

Qin Yuzheng's coldness is indeed intimidating, but the Qin Empire he represents and the absolute power that controls everything are a fatal temptation to Ruan Weiwei.
Qin Yuheng's "gentle and considerate" "encouragement" and "concern" made her feel that she might really have the opportunity to become that "special" existence, the person who could get close to the iceberg and even melt it.
The opportunity was right before his eyes. The pool area was sparsely populated, save for a few people in bathrobes whispering in a far corner. Qin Yuzheng was completely alone.
Ruan Weiwei's heart was pounding in her chest. She took a deep breath, stood up, and casually draped the scarf over the recliner, revealing her beautiful figure.
She picked up a brightly colored cocktail from the small round table next to her, put on the sweetest and most innocent smile, and walked towards Qin Yuzheng with deliberately slow and swaying steps.
