The weather in Sea City was extraordinarily sweltering.
After class, Gu Yanxin went straight home to the Gu family, and at this time, her father Gu Yuming handed her a glass of watermelon juice.
"It's so hot now, have a glass of watermelon juice. Aunt Bai saved it for you, we've all had some," said Gu Yuming.
Gu Yanxin looked at the glass of watermelon juice with some suspicion. Her father Gu Yuming was usually dismissive of her, and her stepmother was even harder on her. Today they left her watermelon juice.
Without thinking much, perhaps it was her father's conscience that had kicked in, and she really was thirsty. She finished Gu Yuming's watermelon juice with a satisfying gulp.
However, now things felt off!
Her head was a little dizzy, it seemed that there were countless Gu Yumings shaking in front of her.
"What... what did you give me to drink?" Gu Yanxin finally realized she had been fooled!
"Gu Yanxin, things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. Your dad's company is about to land a big client, so you should do your part for your dad and this family," said her stepmother, Bai Feng.
"What...what are you going to do with me!" Gu Yanxin was shocked!
No matter how her father and stepmother beat and scolded her and herlittle brother, she didn't fight back. But now that they had gone to such an extreme, she was horrified.
"Yanxin, Mr. Liu said that as long as you spend one night with him, Dad will be able to secure the ET order," Gu Yuming shamelessly declared.
Gu Yanxin stepped back in despair, staring at Gu Yuming incredulously. This was her birth father! He was even less than a beast, selling his own daughter.
She wanted to flee towards the door immediately, not wanting to be a tool utilized by her parents and stepmother, but she had already drunk the drugged watermelon juice, and immediately passed out on the floor.
The night in Sea City.
In the luxurious presidential suite, Gu Yanxin found herself thrown onto the bed. Though she was awake, she discovered her legs tied up, and her wrists bound behind her. To her shock, she found herself clothed in a negligee as thin as a cicada's wings.
She could distinctly feel a slow kindling fire heating up within her body, her cheeks awash in a telltale flush. Though she was yet unwed, she wasn't naive. It had to be the doing of her father, Gu Yuming, and her stepmother, must be they'd given her some kind of aphrodisiac.
How could they? Her own father, Gu Yuming, was so ruthless towards her!
The room was currently empty. Gu Yanxin struggled to a sitting position, thankful for her flexibility. She managed to bite off the cords binding her feet. Gu Yuming probably hadn't anticipated her waking up so soon.
Having freed her feet, she started rubbing her hands, corded behind her, against the edges of the tea table. Finaly, the binds were loosened.
Just as she was about to run for the door, she heard voices outside.
"President Liu, I've offered up even my very own daughter this time. You must seriously consider our ET order!" The speaker was Gu Yuming.
"All right, all right. You may leave. I'll give it a thought," President Liu hurriedly dismissed, his mind filled with the anticipation of the beauty waiting for him in the room.
Gu Yanxin's heart wrenched painfully. Her father, a monster worse than beasts, had delivered his own flesh and blood into another man's bed for his selfish gains!
