"You don't want your boyfriend to lose his job, do you?"
Hotel lobby.
A fat man with big ears placed a room key on the table.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, if you miss this opportunity, you won't be so lucky."
"Think it through carefully."
"How many people want to capture Pei Ji?"
"He's a big shot in the investment world. It's your good fortune to be noticed by him."
The man slammed his hand on the table, got up, and left.
Zhuang Shuying stared silently at the room key on the table, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Good fortune?
This is a blessing for you, do you want it?
If she hadn't just been reborn, she would have actually believed the fat director's nonsense!
In her past life, she listened to him.
He took the room key and went to Pei Ji's room.
And what was the result?
As soon as he entered, he was grabbed by two bodyguards! One had a gun pressed against his forehead, and the other had a knife across his neck.
She was so frightened she almost fainted on the spot.
The idea that Pei Ji has taken a liking to her is a joke!
That devil of a man, he probably only has eyes for himself!
Zhuang Shuying felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about her past life.
She was just an ordinary office worker.
Her boyfriend is a director's assistant who works on a film set.
A few days ago, she went to visit her boyfriend's film set, hoping to see the stars, but she happened to run into Pei Ji, who was there to inspect the set.
He didn't know why, but he glanced at himself again.
The fat director took it upon himself to conclude that Pei Ji had taken a liking to her.
In order to please Pei Ji and attract investment for the film crew, the director threatened her with her boyfriend's job, demanding that she sleep with Pei Ji!
Pei Ji was handsome, wealthy, and extremely powerful.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't even slightly tempted.
But the main reason was for her boyfriend's future.
She made a sacrifice, but Pei Ji wasn't interested in her as the director had said.
On the contrary, he was drugged, but he didn't touch himself.
He made himself kneel on the carpet for half the night, and then had his bodyguards throw him out.
She originally thought the matter had failed.
For some unknown reason, the director suddenly decided that she had become Pei Ji's woman.
Because no woman has ever been able to spend the night in his room.
What's even funnier is...
Pei Ji even got to act in it.
He treated me with great favor in front of outsiders.
She was "forced" to break up with her boyfriend.
She became Pei Ji's woman in name only.
But he never touched her, nor did he ever express his love for her in private.
He simply locked himself in his apartment and stared at her menacingly every day.
She couldn't take it anymore and wanted to run away.
Pei Ji spent a fortune to build himself a golden cage and threatened her that if she tried to escape again, he would break her legs.
Zhuang Shuying was truly terrified.
Her daily routine consisted of staying in the cage, glaring hatefully at Pei Ji.
Pei Ji sat on the sofa outside, swirling his wine glass and looking at her as if she were a collectible.
On the surface, he is polite and well-mannered.
He's actually a smiling tiger with mental problems!
Zhuang Shuying got goosebumps.
In this life, she will never be controlled by him.
I must start living like a human being again.
Zhuang Shuying thought of her ex-boyfriend who had achieved great success in her previous life, and her heart stirred slightly.
She shouldn't have betrayed him.
In this life, she is determined to hold onto her boyfriend tightly and live a truly comfortable life.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Shuying didn't look at the room key on the table again.
He left the hotel directly.
Meanwhile, at the bar next door.
Shen Zhiyi tilted her head back and drank the last sip of her cocktail.
Turn around the high stool.
She landed lightly on the ground in her red strappy high heels.
She walked to the table.
He picked up the black room key, raised an eyebrow slightly, and walked towards the elevator.
...
Top floor suite.
A tall, slender man sat on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window.
The city's night view is spread out before your eyes.
He wore a silver-gray suit, his tie slightly loose, and behind his frameless gold-rimmed glasses were a pair of amber eyes that held a cold, ambiguous smile.
His eyes, however, held a cold expression.
He had one hand resting on the edge of the sofa, and a doctor was injecting something into his arm.
He was twirling a silver lighter in his free hand, which, like the watch on his wrist, gleamed with a faint, cold light.
His thumb twitched slightly.
Click.
The firelight illuminated half of his profile.
The amber halo around his gold-rimmed glasses blended with his gentle expression, yet somehow gave him a sinister air.
"You found out everything?"
He slightly parted his thin lips and glanced at the two bodyguards in front of him.
One of them nodded.
"The drug was administered by the film crew. Someone might be coming later."
Pei Ji tossed aside the lighter, pressed his fingers against his temples, and gave a half-smile.
"These people don't want to come up with any new tricks."
Why do you always try to put people in my bed?
Does sleeping with the people they sent mean he'll necessarily give them money?
These people's brains.
What are they made of?
Moreover...
He sat up and asked the doctor next to him, "Do I look like I'm lacking in women?"
The doctor put away the needle and looked up at him.
It has to be said, she's quite attractive to men.
He chose not to answer.
"President Pei, this medicine is quite potent."
"This injection can only temporarily suppress the effects. I drew some blood from your fingertip, but it's still too little. You'll need to wait until tonight to completely eliminate the effects of the medicine."
Pei Ji glanced at his fingertips.
