After yesterday’s gala, I finally got permission from the almighty emperor to come back home. It was only for a night, enough to pack my luggage and move to live with him. As someone who kept the given promises, I was efficient and fast. I spent a night organizing my stuff, and it was early morning when I finally finished. Thinking that I would catch up at least a few hours of sleep using the bright daylight, I prostrated myself on the bed. Alas, my hope was squashed. Someone almost smashed the door of my bedroom entering like an angry elephant.
‘’I heard by the servants that you were so eager to live together with that b*stard that you spent the whole night packaging your things. Don’t you have some shame, Luo MacCarner?!’’ It took me a good few seconds to register the angry face of Yan Si, his accusing voice and the indignation rising in my chest. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, t
Realising that my wish to have some rest wouldn’t come true, I gave up my sleep and took a walk to the kitchen. Some maids would listen to every one of my whims if I told them what I desired, but I wanted to distract myself from my not so positive thoughts. I was almost there when the sound of the Han Wei’s falsetto voice reached my ears. I made a grimace from the unpleasant feeling she caused in me. Couldn’t this woman control her tone a little bit more?‘’Your daughter is no better than you, Genji. She betrayed the Yan family when she became an official girlfriend of that b*stard. Did you see the newspaper? She looks so contented in his embrace. Truly, the apple doesn’t fall away from the tree.’’‘’Watch your mouth and your business. Even if Luo really has feelings for him, you are not the one to criticise her decision.’’ What fo

After our conversation was over, I moved into the room where I woke up the last time when he kidnapped me. I had mixed feelings of being there, but I could bear with them. Then finally had some rest.For the next few days, nothing interesting happened except that Kang Xianliang proved his claim to be a tyrant. He forced me to have meals with him and took pictures for Weibo. According to his words, people should see how strong our feelings were. I agreed with his logic, but why should I be the one who did it? To this question, he said condescendingly it would be below his man's dignity. Only women spent so much time on social networks gossiping about other people’s lives and showing off with theirs. Hearing this incredible statement, I wasted a few seconds preparing contra argument but decided to keep quiet at the end. It would be a waste of my breath to try and pour some common sense in this man.

‘’Did I interrupt something?’’ I put on a knowing smile and watched how her face paled with horror. Badmouthing the boss’s woman wasn’t a good decision from the start, but the boss’s woman hearing you personally was even worse.‘’Good morning, Miss McCarner.’’ That was the other woman participating in the earlier conversation. I smiled politely at her without the ridicule I held for her colleague. She didn’t say anything bad about me and even was frankly surprised when she heard the gibberish the first one said. I had a good feeling for people like her.‘’Miss McCarner, since how long have you been listening?’’ I raised my brows at the impudent question of the first one. Not only she talked behind my back, but she also had the guts to question me like I was her subordinate.
After a few days of sleepless nights, I finally narrowed down my list of suspects. I focused on the parties involved in the construction project. Kang Enterprise as the landowner had a contract with a building contractor which was supposed to carry out and complete the work for the new neighbourhood. Everything was going fine until there was a shortage of materials. Kang Enterprise had to add the additional sum of money which they did after a request of the project manager. However, there came a problem.After checking the accounts of the company, I found out that indeed the money provided for the new materials were properly listed. However, the project manager somehow decided to buy lower grade materials even when he had money to buy the better ones. I had to hack his computer in order to find which ones he chose. Making sure I have proper proofs against him; I went to the office of Kang Xianliang. I found him having a video
The noisy club music thundered in my ears and made my heart beat faster. I was making my way through the crowd evading the dancing bodies of women and men. However, no matter how careful I was, there were still people who acted bolder than they could afford. I was just passing by a random male when he caught my wrist and pulled me towards his chest. The smell of whiskey hit me right in the face not long after. Wrinkling my nose in displeasure, I did my best to break free from his grip. Unfortunately for me, he didn’t get my hint that I wasn’t interested in him.‘’Hello, what is a sexy chick like you doing alone?’’ His flirtatious voice was next to my ear. The music was so loud that people normally had no choice but to get close to each other when they wanted to speak. However, this fel
Undoubtedly, he was drunk. Had he been in his right mind, he would never say something like this. I rolled my eyes, feeling irritation and asked with a voice saturated with irony.‘’Are you sure you want this? As far as I know, you are on a date right now. What will happen when your woman come back?’’ He didn’t look bothered by my words in the slightest. He smiled with a relaxed posture, with his teeth shining like a demon due to the dim light.‘’Why does that bother you? Because you have high morals or because I’m not attractive enough?’’ Concerning the second part of the question, I refused to comment. Knowing how much time I spent fantasizing about him in my previous life and how deep my feelings were, of course, my attraction caused part of them to him. He was a handsome man, after all. Tall, well-built with light brown hair and a mischievous smile. His
