Liancheng, the Su Family.
Presently, a grand engagement ceremony is being held.
Among the clinking cups in the banquet hall, people are toasting and mingling, oblivious to the absence of the protagonists of the wedding banquet.
Gu Yunxia, felt a wave of pain, followed by the fleeting ecstasy of burning passion engulfing her.
In her mind, she seemed to be drifting in a boundless sea, clinging to a piece of floating wood, bobbing up and down, so confused under the chaotic emotions that she had no idea what she was doing.
She was the protagonist of tonight, the one who was supposed to get engaged to Su Shiyan, the sole heir of the Su family.
It was unclear how much time had passed, but the room finally settled back into tranquility.
Gu Yunxia's long, thick eyelashes fluttered, then slowly opened. A moment of confusion passed, followed by panic as she sat up.
The continuing sound of flowing water came from the bathroom. Hesitant, Gu Yunxia called out, "Shiyan?"
The water stopped, and the person inside the bathroom walked out.
The man had only a snowy white towel wrapped around his waist, his lines shapely and abs partially revealed, the perfect physique comparable to a male model.
Gu Yunxia traced her eyes upwards, when she finally saw the man clearly, the color drained from her face instantly.
"Who are you?"
The man looked at her with an expressionless face; his voice cold and clear, "Shen Yucheng."
Upon hearing this name, Gu Yunxia's face turned even paler.
Shen Yucheng, a powerful figure known within the city of Liancheng, was rarely seen in the public eye. The influence of the Shen family in Liancheng was so powerful that they could cover the sky with merely a hand.
What was really going on? Why was she taken to bed by Shen Yucheng?
The indifferent look in Shen Yucheng's eyes emitted a sharp radiance. His gaze at her was devoid of any feelings, cold enough to send chills down one's spine.
"How could we...?" Gu Yunxia asked, looking pale.
"We each have something to gain, we help each other," Shen Yucheng nonchalantly said.
Frowning, Gu Yunxia wondered why she needed his help. All her innocence, gone!
Holding on to her cool with a stiff voice, she said, "Do you know I can sue you?"
Shen Yucheng's deep eyes suddenly narrowed, showcasing a chilling aura as he approached Gu Yunxia step by step.
The overpowering presence around him made Gu Yunxia panic. Clutching the blanket, she shifted backward.
As she pulled the blanket apart, spots of crimson were revealed on the bed sheet. Looking at the stains, Shen Yucheng's eyes seemed to darken a bit.
A few seconds later, he coldly said, "If it weren't for me saving you, you would be the one in the next room with two men."
"That's impossible!" Gu Yunxia instinctively refuted.
With a mocking glance, Shen Yucheng neither agreed nor disagreed, "Don't believe me? I can show you."
Gu Yunxia eyed him warily yet refrained from moving.
Without showing any concern, Shen Yucheng lit a cigarette he found from his pants placed on the floor, leisurely leaning against the dressing table.
White smoke twirled around Junrong, his icy gaze landing lightly on Gu Yunxia, observing the ever-changing expression on her face.
It was almost comical; he was actually drugged by someone and happened to help Gu Yunxia in the process.
The woman who wanted to climb into his life had been discarded by him into the room arranged for Gu Yunxia, currently entangled with two men in the sheets.
It wasn't until he finished his smoke that Shen Yucheng spoke, "Have you figured it out?"
Without waiting for Gu Yunxia's response, he directly untied the bath towel wrapped around his waist and picked up the scattered clothes to put on.
Gu Yunxia turned her gaze away in a fluster, not daring to look at him.
With his shirt and trousers on, Shen Yucheng's aura was more formidable; his wet hair was slightly scattered, and his handsome face somehow looked wildly beautiful.
Seeing her still startled there, he said indifferently: "Not going?"
Gu Yunxia gritted her teeth, enduring her discomfort as she struggled to get up, "Let's go!"
She wanted to know what was really going on!
