Jiang Youwei was pulled into his arms, seated on his lap as his gaze fixed impatiently on her soft lips.
Under his intense stare, a blush slowly spread across her delicate face.
‘Knock, knock, knock.’
The sudden sound of knocking broke the moment.
For a brief instant, Chen Zan paused.
Jiang Youwei leaned closer, her soft lips brushing against his. As they parted slightly, she murmured, “Ignore it…”
‘Knock, knock, knock.’
The persistent knocking continued, as if whoever stood outside would keep going forever unless the door was opened.
Jiang Youwei’s beautiful face darkened instantly.
The moment the door opened, her expression was calm, only the faint redness on her cheeks hinting at the storm that had just passed.
“CEO Jiang?” The wealthy woman hadn’t expected to see CEO Jiang here in Huanyu’s lounge. Would someone like her really come to a place like this to relax?
Jiang Youwei leaned casually against the doorway and lifted her gaze lazily, saying, “Miss Su.”
They had met once at a banquet through a business collaboration.
“Have you seen my pet?” Su Xiu couldn’t help but let her gaze drift away from Jiang Youwei’s alluring figure and into the room. Her instincts told her that someone had to be inside.
Jiang Youwei raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes shifting as she said, “Your… pet?”
She had heard that the Su family’s young lady had rather wild tastes, but she hadn’t expected them to be this extreme. To openly display such preferences without restraint.
“Yes. I checked the surveillance. He disappeared around here…” Su Xiu’s dark eyes slowly met Jiang Youwei’s sharp gaze as her red lips parted, “Vanished.”
So it was very likely Jiang Youwei had encountered him.
Or even worse, had hidden him out of desire.
Jiang Youwei suppressed the faint sourness in her heart and replied politely, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see your pet.”
Since when did Chen Zan become someone else’s pet?
Chen Zan could only belong to her.
Suddenly, a deep, rough groan sounded from inside the room.
Su Xiu’s eyes lit up, and she stepped forward, trying to force her way in.
Jiang Youwei’s attitude hardened immediately. She pressed a hand against the door and said leisurely, “Miss Su, your father, Chairman Su, probably wouldn’t want to know that his precious daughter spends her days wandering around chaotic bars without making any progress, would he?”
Su Xiu froze, then frowned deeply.
Jiang Youwei was threatening her?
If it weren’t for the business cooperation between the Su family and Jiang Youwei’s company, she wouldn’t have backed down. She would have insisted on finding out who exactly was inside that room.
“Fine.” Su Xiu took a step back, steadying herself before saying, “Then I wish CEO Jiang an enjoyable time.”
There was no need to offend a business partner over a mere waiter.
“Thank you.”
The door closed.
Looking at the man twisting restlessly on the bed, Jiang Youwei’s expression turned cold. A shadow lingered on her face, unable to hide her jealousy in the slightest as she said, “Chen Zan, are you that short on money?”
She stepped closer, pressing him down, her soft fingertips teasing him again and again as she continued, “Have you fallen this far for money?”
“Selling your looks?”
“Becoming someone else’s pet?”
Chen Zan’s mind was clouded, his throat unbearably dry. He couldn’t answer her at all.
The tense atmosphere thickened.
Jiang Youwei’s eyes reddened, mist gathering within them as she stared at him. Her heart felt cold as she asked, “Then why did you break up with me back then?”
She couldn’t stop the tears from rising.
“Was it because you found someone new?”
A tear fell onto Chen Zan’s lips.
His heart burned instantly.
The world seemed to spin for Jiang Youwei as the man suddenly pinned her beneath him.
Her lashes trembled slightly as she froze. Embarrassed and angry, she pushed against him, saying, “Get off!”
“Right now… I’m your master.”
Chen Zan lowered his head, pressing messy kisses against her pale, flushed face.
“Master…”
