In the dimly lit room, the bright moonlight spilled through the window, illuminating every corner.
White sheer curtains swayed with the movements on the bed. A tall man, his face obscured, embraced a petite woman from behind, gently resting his head against her fair shoulder as he kissed her.
The man’s actions made the woman’s sensitive body tremble slightly. “Mmm~”
Rong Yi’s delicate face was flushed with allure, her fair and soft body controlled by the man atop her, forced to match his rhythm.
Scorching sweat dripped onto Rong Yi’s chest, the heat causing her to slowly open her eyes. As she moved, the man’s face gradually came into view.
A deep and refined face, perfect features and jawline—even with a few beads of sweat on his face, it did nothing to diminish his sex appeal…
This… was actually the man from the basement earlier in the day!
Rong Yi’s eyes flew open, and she sat up abruptly, breathing lightly, her heart pounding like a drum.
Her delicate fox-like eyes shifted, glancing around. She was still in her room, exactly as she had fallen asleep the night before. The glass of water she had placed by the door remained untouched.
All of this indicated that she had been dreaming—a vivid, erotic dream!
And the protagonist of the dream was a man she had only just met once.
Rong Yi, oh Rong Yi, you’ve really outdone yourself, dreaming of something like this.
Helplessly, Rong Yi lifted her fair arm from under the covers, smoothed her hair, and gathered the blankets before preparing to get up.
The event ended on the second day. Rong Yi packed her luggage and prepared to leave through the channel arranged by the brand. Just as she stepped off the cruise ship, her manager, Su Ying, called her.
“Hello, Ying. I’ve just gotten off the cruise ship. Where are you?”
An apologetic voice came from the other end. “Yi, something came up last minute, so I might not be able to pick you up. Have Guoguo come get you instead.”
This was unexpected. After hanging up, Rong Yi wasn’t sure what to do.
Her assistant, Guoguo, had just taken a week off two days ago. Her parents had come to the capital to visit her, and she hadn’t been home in two years.
Rong Yi wasn’t an unreasonable boss. Guoguo rarely had the chance to spend time with her family, so Rong Yi wouldn’t call her now to ask for a ride.
Rong Yi stood casually by the roadside, her long, enviable legs on full display. In one hand, she held a black Chanel tote bag, her eyes lowered as she scrolled through her phone, wondering who could come pick her up.
Just then, a low-key black Cayenne slowly drove by. Shangguan Yu glanced out the window and noticed Rong Yi standing alone by the roadside.
“Pull over.”
Zhou Yue, who was driving in the front, glanced at his boss first upon hearing this, as his superior was not Shangguan Yu.
Gu Ye, sitting in the back with his eyes closed to rest, lifted his eyelids slightly at the words and followed Shangguan Yu’s gaze out the window.
His deep, dark eyes flickered slightly, but he said nothing.
Shangguan Yu, realizing this wasn’t his car, turned to Gu Ye in the back and said, “Brother Ye, she’s a friend of mine. It looks like she’s alone and has no one to pick her up. Could we give her a ride?”
Knowing Gu Ye’s temperament, Shangguan Yu added, fearing he might refuse, “She’ll get off with me later, and I’ll take her home.”
This area was quite desolate. At the time, for the sake of secrecy, the event had been held here, so it was difficult to hail a taxi.
“Go ahead.”
Hearing Gu Ye’s words, Shangguan Yu was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Gu Ye to agree so readily.
Upon Gu Ye’s approval, Zhou Yue pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Before he could think further, Shangguan Yu rolled down the window and called out to Rong Yi, who was standing by the roadside.
“Rong Yi!”
Rong Yi had noticed a car approaching but wasn’t sure who it was until Shangguan Yu lowered the window, bringing a smile to her face.
Now she didn’t have to worry about finding a ride.
Wearing high heels, Rong Yi took a few quick steps to the Cayenne and said cheerfully, “Great, you haven’t left yet. I was just worried I’d have to walk back to the city in these heels.”
Shangguan Yu curled his lips into a smile and teased, “Then tomorrow’s headlines would be, ‘Supermodel Rong Yi Abandoned at Event Venue, Walks Back to City, Evokes Sympathy.'”
Rong Yi chuckled helplessly, “Stop teasing me.”
“Hurry up and get in. We’re heading back to the city anyway.”
“Alright.”
The car only had the passenger seat and the back seat available, and the front was already occupied. Naturally, Rong Yi opened the back door, but as soon as she did, she was startled.
Wasn’t this the protagonist of her dream last night? Perhaps due to the inappropriate content of the dream, Rong Yi felt a bit guilty at this moment.
With a faint blush of embarrassment on her face, Rong Yi greeted softly, “Hello, we meet again.”
Gu Ye raised his eyes to meet her beautiful gaze and gave a slight nod under her watchful eyes. “Mm.”
Shangguan Yu found the atmosphere between them a bit odd. “Do you two know each other?”
“We’ve only met once.”
Seeing that Gu Ye didn’t want to say more, Rong Yi simply echoed, “Mm.”
Shangguan Yu introduced, “This is Gu Ye, President Gu. He founded the renowned G&Y Magazine.”
So he was the founder of G&Y Yuanye Magazine. She hadn’t expected him to be so young and so… attractive.
Rong Yi extended her slender hand. “Hello, I’ve long heard of your name. I’m Rong Yi.”
Gu Ye glanced at the woman’s hand and replied with a slight smile, “Gu Ye.”
Just as he had imagined, her hand was soft and delicate.
As their hands parted, as if unintentionally, Rong Yi’s fingernail lightly brushed against Gu Ye’s palm, sending a tingling sensation through him.
Gu Ye remained composed on the surface, appearing perfectly at ease, but inwardly, a different kind of emotion stirred.
He secretly curled the corner of his lips, having never encountered such a bold woman before…
Shangguan Yu, perhaps being a bit careless, didn’t notice anything unusual between the two and quickly urged Rong Yi to get in the car.
Though Rong Yi felt a bit embarrassed, she wasn’t willing to let this opportunity slip away, so she got into the car as she pleased.
“Sorry for the trouble.”
Hearing Rong Yi’s gentle voice, Gu Ye moved his lips slightly and replied in a low voice, “No trouble.”
His tone was unhurried, carrying just the right amount of distance.
Shangguan Yu glanced curiously at the rearview mirror, having never known his brother Gu to be so accommodating.
Rong Yi pursed her lips slightly, thinking to herself that if she had known she’d be riding in his car, she should have put on some proper makeup this morning instead of looking so disheveled, which had completely drained her confidence.
However, once they returned to the city, she wasn’t sure if she’d have another chance to meet him. No matter what, she had to seize this opportunity. Today, she absolutely had to get his contact information.
The black Cayenne set off again, with Gu Ye closing his eyes as usual, appearing unwilling to speak another word.
Shangguan Yu received a work call and was now busy handling emails, leaving no time to talk to Rong Yi.
Meanwhile, Rong Yi’s fox-like eyes lifted slightly, but she had no time to admire the scenery outside the window either—her thoughts had long since drifted elsewhere.
In truth, Rong Yi was extremely anxious inside, unsure how to ask him for his contact information later.
As they approached the city center, it was almost time to get out of the car.
As if reading her mind, Zhou Yue spoke up, “Young Master Shangguan, we’ve arrived.”
The car stopped at the entrance of the Shangguan Group building. Shangguan Yu still had to go to the company to report to his older brother about the specifics of yesterday’s event.
Shangguan Yu glanced out the window, then turned to Rong Yi and said, “Let’s get out. I’ll take you home later.”
Rong Yi bit her lip, her gaze drifting toward Gu Ye beside her.
With such a handsome man right in front of her, she really didn’t want to leave.
Her captivating fox-like eyes blinked, lively and spirited.
A seductive curve lifted at the corner of her lips, her eyes holding a hint of playful mischief as she spoke unhurriedly, “No need.”
Then, with an exceptionally enchanting look, she turned to Gu Ye and said in a soft, delicate voice, “Could I trouble President Gu to take me home…”
Not missing the pitiful look in her eyes as she glanced his way, Gu Ye’s lips curved slightly. “Sure.”
He was curious to see what this woman was up to.
Perhaps after too many dull days, he had grown greedy for someone interesting…
