Ji Liunian’s first reaction was to immediately pull up the magazine to cover her face. From the corner of her eye, she stole a glance at the man and woman who entered.

The man was wearing a black suit. The top two buttons of his shirt were not buttoned, vaguely revealing his firm and flat honey-colored chest. His slightly long hair casually flopped on his forehead, inadvertently revealing a carefree and unruly temperament. A pair of straight and black eyebrows rested diagonally to his temples. His sharp nose bridge was tall and straight. The most attractive feature was his slightly upturned angelic eyes, which faintly revealed a hint of evilness. It was as if one’s soul would be sucked away by him just by looking at him. A person like him standing in the center—even without uttering a sound, he had a languid yet imposing aura that no one could ignore.

The woman next to him was a familiar face. She had recently become a Victoria’s Secret Angel and was a rising star on the runway. There was talk that she had also begun making moves to cross over to acting and singing domestically. She was quite popular.

As they stood side by side, they made for a very handsome couple and attracted a lot of attention.

Well, that made sense… How could a man who could afford a luxurious suite in a five-star hotel under Ling Group be poor?

What kind of woman did a man like him not have? What kind of woman had he not experienced before?

It was no wonder. Yesterday morning… when she woke up, he had said those words as if he was an expert in distancing himself from her.

Although she knew that, she lost her virginity to him after all. When she thought about how the man who popped her cherry was also a man-whore like Yu Yichen, she was bummed out.

Forget it, forget it. No matter what this man was like, he already had a woman by his side now. He definitely wouldn’t pester me, right? Wasn’t this what I wanted?

She was lost on this train of thought when Liu Menghan—who was in the fitting room—called out, “Liunian, what do you think of this outfit?”

Liu Menghan’s holler made Ji Liunian’s scalp tingle! She subconsciously looked in the man’s direction and coincidentally realized that he was frowning slightly and looking around as if he was searching for something.

She snorted secretly. How could he? She had not told him her name. How could he know?

Even so, she still lowered her head slightly and replied in a low voice, “Alright, I’ll go in and take a look.”

She hurriedly turned around and glanced at Liu Menghan. Then, she pretended to look at the bag in her hand. “Oh, my father is looking for me. I have to go home. I can’t accompany you. I’ll make a move first.”

She carried her bag and walked towards the door.

She had barely taken a few steps when her arm was stopped by a strong arm!

Ji Liunian’s back stiffened and she subconsciously turned around. The moment she turned back, she met Ling Yichuan’s deep black eyes that were tinged with a hint of a smile!
