“Splash.”

In the washroom, Shen Yugui cupped water and splashed her face.

She looked up to see herself in the mirror.

On her white skin, the specially painted blue birthmark was barely visible.

Shen Yugui sighed. Her heart was still pounding even now.

That man’s expression earlier was simply too terrifying.

Although she had always been courageous, a part of her wanted to run away now. She was afraid to stay here. She might even end up dead!

It was said that it was easy for women to woo men. Why was it so difficult for her?

The silence of the night was interrupted by her phone ringing.

When her elder sister ran away from home, she had left everything behind, as if she wanted to cut off all ties with her family. However, this made things easier for Shen Yugui. 

Shen Yugui picked up her sister’s cellphone and saw that it was a message sent by Shen Tianhao: [Congxin, I don’t care what method you use tonight. You have to make Mr. Fei sign it!]

A sharp look flashed in Shen Yugui’s eyes.

She had already read the contract earlier in the afternoon.

The new project was very perfunctory. Everything on the document could be summarized in one sentence, ‘How much is one night with my daughter worth?’

Shen Tianhao stopped just short of holding out his hand outright and asking Fei Nancheng for money!

Shen Yugui made up her mind to dismiss the topic.

She put her phone aside and lay on the bed.

‘I’d better stay away from the study. I don’t want to step on another landmine…’

‘But if I don’t, how am I supposed to win him over?’

 –

In the study.

Fei Nancheng sat on the sofa and stared at the coffee table in front of him. He was very agitated.

He really was angry, but he could not tell if he was angry at other people or at himself, especially when he drank too much last night. He even mistook that woman for her…

If he was not worried about Grandma’s health, he would have chased that woman out long ago!

As he was deep in thought, a knock on the door sounded suddenly.

Fei Nancheng looked up immediately and ordered, “Enter.”

The butler pushed open the door and walked in cautiously. “Sir, I met Miss Shen’s father when I sent her back today. Mr. Shen said that there is a project that he would like to collaborate with the Fei family. Miss Shen has brought the contract with her.”

When he picked her up, he saw Miss Shen put the contract in her bag with his own eyes.

Hearing this, Fei Nancheng raised his cold eyes.

Collaborate?

He sneered.

‘He really wasted no time in asking for money. What a greedy little man! Is that why that woman tried so hard to curry favor with Grandma?’

‘It’s no wonder she even put on makeup earlier. She was trying to seduce me!’

Despite this, Fei Nancheng responded indifferently. “Alright.”

When the butler left, Fei Nancheng leaned on the sofa.

That woman would definitely come to him to get him to sign the contract. In that case, he would just wait here and see how she opens her mouth later. Fei Nancheng’s eyes darkened and flashed sharply.

He simply turned on his computer and dealt with some company affairs.

Fei Corporation’s industries were developing in many ways. Even though the company had many talented people, he still had to deal with numerous documents every day.

Before he realized, it was already two o’clock in the morning.

Shen Yugui did not come.

Fei Nancheng massaged his sore shoulders. What the hell was that woman doing?

He narrowed his sharp eyes and tapped several keys on the keyboard with his slender fingers, and brought up the surveillance footage of the bedroom.

The light was still on in the room, but there was no one to be found. Fei Nancheng finally saw a lump on the bed and narrowed his eyes at the screen. He saw…

That woman went to sleep!

His expression immediately darkened.

What was this? Was she playing hard to get?
