The Haiming Five-Star Hotel is also a property under the Chéng Group's banner.
Tonight, the Chéng Group's anniversary celebratory event is being held. Rumor has it that the party isn't just for their ten-year anniversary, but also to welcome back the Chairman's son, Chéng Dōngchéng, from his studies in America, and to introduce him as the new CEO.
With toasting and chatter in full swing, the evening is half over with everyone in the grand hall mingling and exchanging toasts.
In an inconspicuous corner, Su Lingnuan is wearing a light blue evening dress. An impassive yet elegant smile hangs on her face as she lifts her phone, which is buzzing softly.
"How's it going?"
"All set. Presidential suite at the top floor. Pause at the 8th floor on the elevator, and I’ll hand over the room card to you."
"Okay."
A faint smile arises on her pale face. Radiant yet modest, her beauty is beyond description.
Her delicate fingers, as slender and silky as spring onions, rest gently on a delicate necklace around her neck, her gaze slightly shifting. Compared to her formal attire, this necklace seems too casual.
Reaching out, she removes the necklace from her neck and tucks it into her small handbag.
She believes it would be better if this necklace didn't witness what she has to do.
Slipping quietly through the crowd, she exits the grand hall. Along the way, she can occasionally hear people discussing how the Su Group is in severe crisis due to an data estimation error on a project, resulting in their business partner withdrawing their financial support.
Her brow furrows slightly, her expression concerned.
This crisis is the very reason for her visit – to solve this problem.
As the room card is inserted, the suite lights up. A gentle, unfamiliar fragrance wafts in.
Her gaze swept the room, and finally landed on the man lying on the soft bed. Her fingers slightly trembling, she turned around to close the door and walked towards the man.
Her body swaying, each step gracefully poised!
The CEO who had been giving a speech on stage just forty minutes ago, Cheng Dongcheng, was now fast asleep in front of her.
"Hehe, returning to the country after such a long time must have been tough on you, huh?" She shook her head and gave a light chuckle, a beautiful smile blooming on her face. Her fingers, smooth and delicate as the white part of a leek, traced the silken necktie under the man's shirt.
Revealing the man's sexy Adam's apple!
The man's fluffy hair masked his forehead, a straight nose above thin lips slightly pursed, face flushed and breath steady.
Despite this profound ruggedness in his face and his body huskier than average, his presence, even while lying down, was rather oppressive.
His appearance reflected his character, no one could ignore this man's talents, based solely on his looks.
They say people with thin lips are fickle. This saying reminds Su Lingnuan of someone.
With a muscular chest, well-developed pectorals, and wheat-colored skin, even Su, who was quite used to the sight of handsome men, couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva.
This man, even in slumber, managed to bewitch!
She stopped unbuttoning his shirt and turned her lustful gaze away, glancing towards the bottle of red wine on the small bar not too far off.
Ding Xiaomei had mentioned he would be passed out for around two hours, which meant there was plenty of time for a small drink.
It was her first time doing something like this. She thought she could use a little alcohol to muster up the courage and numb herself.
After three glasses of red wine, her eyes were slightly narrowed and her cheeks were flushed.
"If anything unexpected happens, she can use drinking too much as an excuse.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
This time she quickly unbuttons Cheng Dongcheng's shirt, exposing the man's sturdy chest fully in front of her. She gently pulls her dress to reveal her shoulders, then lies next to him, lifts up her phone, and turns on the camera.
She plans to take a casual photo first to see the effect, so she tries to turn the man's face towards her. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't turn it. Helplessly, she has to settle with Cheng Dongcheng's position and stick her face to his.
Just a second before she presses the photo button, an unexpected force appears on her right arm, causing the phone to slip onto the bed.
She turns her head in surprise to find the man's gaze sharp, staring straight back at her.
"Woman, do you think you can succeed?"
His thin lips part slightly, and the smell of alcohol sprays onto the woman's face close at hand.
Just a glance disrupts all of Su Lingnuan's plans in her mind, leaving a blank void. Her heart rate quickens, blood rushing.
His deep, pleasing voice echoes in Su Lingnuan's ears three times.
When did he wake up?
She stares at him in disbelief, her heart pounding in chaos. The pair of smart, unusual eyes are filled with astonishment at this moment.
She silently swallowed, trying to calm herself, then attempts to break free from the hand he held.
But the man just tightens his grip, causing her pain. She can't care less and says,"It hurts! Let go!"
A smile cracks on Cheng Dongcheng's face, his expression cold: "Now you know it hurts? When you planned to drug me to sleep, did you think of that?"
Su Lingnuan was stumped for a moment. This man seemed hard to deal with.
Cheng Dongcheng leaned in close to her nose, just a millimeter away from her lips, "You're playing with fire, you know?"
"Play with you..."
Su Lingnuan, who intended to retort, thought that it was not a good idea to get into a verbal war at the moment. What if she angered this man, making her mission even worse?
"It's also a good choice!" Su Lingnuan moved her head back, her hand still firmly grasped by the man. She closed her eyes, "Mr. Cheng, hello."
Cheng Dongcheng's gaze shifted to her bare shoulder, recalling the previous mobile phone in her hand. He sneered, "Are you planning to take those kinds of photos to threaten me? Or do you want to make the headlines, seeking fame?"
Su Lingnuan shakes her head.
"Tell me what you want."
He obviously did not have much patience, his tone tinged with displeasure. His hand slightly pressing on her body, and the one on her stomach, were the most silent yet undeniable threats.
Su Lingnuan originally planned to use these photos to threaten him into helping the Su Corporation out of their current crisis, but she hadn't anticipated being caught in the act.
In City A, the most significant corporations were the Cheng and Su corporations. So, Su Lingnuan had to find a way to get the Cheng Corporation to invest in a project, to solve this crisis. But the two corporations had always been competitors. Apart from threatening Cheng Dongcheng's reputation as he just returned to the country, she couldn't think of a better way.
For Cheng Dongcheng who just returned to the country and took over the company, if this incident breaks out, it would inevitably bring great harm to both the company and his reputation. It was this point that she was aiming for tonight.
"Mr. Cheng, could you please let go of my hand and stomach first?" She tried to maintain her composure.
"Are you trying to talk terms with me?" he counter-questioned.
"I wouldn't dare. It's just that I had a big dinner, and you are pressing rather hard. What if you make me throw up my dinner? That would be so awkward, wouldn't it?" She tried to make her tone as weak as possible, conveying sincerity.
Cheng Dongcheng stared at her quietly for a few seconds, then let go of her hand. Su Lingnuan quickly massaged her freed hand and rolled back.
