When sending the package to Ye Jialan, Shi Wei Yue felt an unusual flutter of nervousness.
She had opted for same-city express delivery and even used her Money Power to expedite it. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should arrive within two hours. If Ye Jialan didn’t drag her feet, the gift would soon be in Wen Ruxing’s hands.
Her heartbeat suddenly began to race uncontrollably. Shi Wei Yue couldn’t help but wonder how Wen Ruxing would react upon receiving the gift. The big villain had repeatedly snapped at her and treated her poorly. Even if there had been occasional ambiguous friction between them, it hadn’t stirred any real emotion in Shi Wei Yue.
She had reactivated the private investigator, but this time, the goal was solely to track Wen Ruxing’s movements. Rather than waiting passively, Shi Wei Yue preferred to take the initiative especially since Wen Ruxing carried that faint, elusive scent of an Omega’s Scent Hormone. It was extraordinary and had appeared more than once, leaving Shi Wei Yue deeply intrigued.
She had originally prepared herself for a long-term investigation, but to her surprise, the answer came effortlessly. Today, the investigator informed her that Wen Ruxing would be leaving the film set and heading to the South Island Hotel in M City, where she had already booked a room for the next two nights.
“South Island Hotel, Four Seasons South Island?”
Four Seasons South Island was a highly reputed five-star scenic resort in M City, renowned for its exquisite decor and lush gardens. The exorbitant prices were jaw-dropping, rivaling even high-end private clubs. It was a favored destination for wealthy couples and romantics, ranking among the top three luxury dating spots in 20XX.
Moreover, according to reliable sources on a certain social platform, the hotel discreetly offered “warm services” to its elite clientele. Wen Ruxing had booked the highest-tier room, the “South Fragrance Suite.” The name sounded refined, but in other hotels, it would be equivalent to a presidential suite, albeit with more exclusive and upscale services.
Shi Wei Yue’s spirits lifted. She had been struggling to find leverage against the big villain, could Wen Ruxing really be going there for a meeting?
“Have you noticed her interacting with any Omega who carries a floral scent?”
Private investigators were usually tight-lipped, but just to be safe, Shi Wei Yue hadn’t instructed him to tail Wen Ruxing too closely. She didn’t want to risk being discovered, nor did she want to leave herself vulnerable if things backfired later.
From start to finish, Shi Wei Yue had presented herself as nothing more than a jealous wife, suspicious that her partner might be seeing someone else but without taking any actual illegal action against her.
The investigator was merely hired by her and wouldn’t overstep by spying on others unnecessarily. Aside from observing Wen Ruxing’s activities on set, he had no knowledge of her other interactions.
Shi Wei Yue responded with a cool “Mm” to acknowledge the information, but as soon as she hung up, she couldn’t suppress the excitement curling at the corners of her lips.
Wen Ruxing had told her not to bother with empty gestures, so Shi Wei Yue decided to test her for real. If Wen Ruxing was indeed engaging in that kind of activity, she would finally have leverage over her.
**
After wrapping up a crucial scene for the female lead, the subsequent filming schedule was relatively light, allowing Wen Ruxing to temporarily leave the set. She wasn’t an actress, so she didn’t need to request leave to step away. Sitting in the back of her driver’s car, she gazed out at the hazy nightscape and wearily rubbed her temples.
The phone vibrated repeatedly on the couch cushion. Under the soft lighting, the woman adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and suddenly spotted two flashy multimedia messages amidst a pile of work notifications:
“Whether you’re a noble butch struggling without a bottom or a Pillow Princess lacking a reliable top, tonight you’ll find your pleasure here [sun][beauty]”
“The sky is blue, the breeze is fresh, and I miss you dearly. Add WeChat 8346142 for exclusive high-end gatherings. Mature dommes and spicy girls in black stockings understand your desires [heart]”
