In the most luxurious manor in the capital city, the bright sunlight shone upon a young couple, gilding them with a radiant halo.
Shen Youjin was dressed in a red dress. Her long, raven - colored wavy hair was gently caressed by the breeze, revealing her fair, oval face. She was as delicate as a porcelain doll.
Many who had met her had said that among the countless beauties in the capital, only she seemed to possess a special magic. She was born to captivate men.
In particular, her almond - shaped eyes, full of tenderness, were always veiled in a layer of mist, pure yet full of a sense of fragility. It was an extreme contrast to her charming appearance.
Even if a man knew that she was after his wealth and status, he would still fall into her trap, longing to make her his own canary.
The handsome young scion of a wealthy family opposite her was deeply infatuated with her. Just as he was about to kiss her cherry - like lips, she suddenly placed her hand on his chest. Her voice carried an ambiguous emotion.
"If I'm pregnant, will you marry me?"
"Pregnant?" The young scion's fingers paused. The face that was usually so docile to her showed a moment of confusion, and then he flashed a smile. "Sister, don't joke. We were both drunk that night. I don't even remember what happened..."
"Really?" Shen Youjin silently observed his expression. Disappointed, she bit her plump red lips. With tears in her eyes, she looked away. "Forget it. I understand..."
"No!" The young scion immediately panicked when he heard this. He quickly pulled her into his arms and coaxed her tenderly. "Sister, you misunderstood me. If there really is a baby, I will definitely convince my family. I'll take responsibility for you and the baby! I... I'll tell my family about our relationship in the next few days. Okay?"
Shen Youjin leaned on his chest. It was a long while before she let out a soft "um". Her slightly sobbing voice was full of attachment to him. "I knew you wouldn't abandon me..."
Yeah, right.
Bai Beichen was three years younger than her. He was the most beloved youngest son of the Bai family. The Bai family would never agree to him marrying her, an illegitimate daughter.
At first, when his family found out that he was pursuing her, they even came and slapped her hard, warning her not to seduce men, or they would make her disappear from the capital.
If it weren't for Bai Beichen's persistent pursuit and his kneeling on the ground begging her, she would have left him long ago.
And now, he just wanted to have a child to tie her to him completely!
However, she still didn't expose his lies.
Everyone thought of her as a docile little rabbit, but where he couldn't see, the corner of her mouth curled up into an ambiguous smile.
Finally, this date ended with Bai Beichen insisting on transferring a single - family villa under his name to her. After coaxing her for several hours and finally seeing her smile, he finally let her leave gracefully.
When she got back to her place, she looked at herself in the mirror. She admired her graceful figure that she had spent countless hours cultivating, as well as her beautiful face that was insured for a sky - high price. Only then was she satisfied. She opened the closet, took off the long V - waisted corseted dress that required strict body control, put on a loose pajamas, and started to dominate in the game.
This was her only way to relax without spending money. Especially when she was upset, she really enjoyed this kind of unrestrained pleasure.
In the eyes of outsiders, she had always been a noble beauty. She liked painting, playing the piano, dancing, and photography. She even had in - depth knowledge of the wines and jewels in the upper - class society.
She was always elegant. Even every expression and movement when she fell in the rain was carefully designed. She was always endearing and charming.
Just like the last budding rose in the world, unable to withstand any wind or rain.
But in fact, she liked bartending, e - sports, racing, and all things that could make her feel excited.
It was just that she didn't have the capital to do so now. She needed a lot of money to maintain her current life. Even the maintenance of her face and body alone required a five - digit sum to support her decent life.
All along, she had been doing well. From the time she graduated from university until now, she had had a total of five boyfriends, and each of them was a prominent figure in the capital. Apart from the marriage she desired, she had gained houses, cars, all kinds of jewels, and countless luxury goods. When she went out, she looked like a minor rich woman.
Her current boyfriend was the fifth one, Bai Beichen, the young master of the Bai family. He held a casual position in his family's company and lived off the money given by his parents and elder brother.
Although Bai Beichen was younger than her, he was always willing to coax her and follow her wishes. This was one of the reasons why she had accepted his confession back then.
After all, who didn't want a cute puppy - like boyfriend who would dote on her like a little princess?
However, unexpectedly, she found out that she was pregnant, and she had no idea whose child it was.
Just a month ago, on the anniversary of her mother's death, she got drunk for the first time. Apart from her current boyfriend Bai Beichen, she met her four ex - boyfriends one after another.
One was Fu Qingye, the venom - tongued and domineering prince of the capital; one was Li Nanchuan, the mature and steady new political elite; one was Gu Zhiyuan, the scheming and calculating businessman; and the last one was Jiang Zeshen, a playboy in the love field and a magnate in the financial world who was openly bad.
When she was with them, they brought her benefits that ordinary people could never achieve in a lifetime. But now, she was really headache - stricken.
Which one of them was the man who had spent the night with her?
She had no impression at all. It was as if her memory had been erased.
After winning several rounds in a row, she took off her headphones and looked at her ringing phone.
The name of Prince Fu Qingye appeared on the screen. A complex emotion flashed across her eyes.
When they broke up, he had imprisoned her for a full month. If she hadn't threatened him with hunger strike in the end, she might still be trapped in that luxurious villa.
Why would this great god call her at this time? Could it be that he was the man that night?
"Where are you?"
As soon as she answered the phone, Fu Qingye's cold and domineering voice came through. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was giving orders to his subordinates.
"What's up?" Shen Youjin glanced at the MVP settlement screen, rolled her eyes, but still spoke in a gentle voice. "Do you need something?"
"Nothing. Just checking if you're dead." Fu Qingye suddenly sneered. "It seems you're getting along well with your little boyfriend?"
"..." This man's mouth was still as venomous as ever. She looked speechless. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
However, even though she said so, she still waited for a few seconds. She knew Fu Qingye's personality too well.
Sure enough, Fu Qingye's domineering voice soon came through again, but this time with a bit of an indescribable emotion.
"Are you really going to spend the rest of your life with that Bai Beichen? He can't give you what you want. Only I can help you. Being my mistress won't be a bad deal for you."
Shen Youjin's slender fingers tightened instantly. Fragmented memories were triggered by Fu Qingye's words, forming a passionate scene.
He kissed her lips passionately and offered the most tempting conditions. But what happened after that? She couldn't remember.
"I won't be anyone's mistress." She smiled softly, but there was determination in her voice. "Find someone else!"
Fu Qingye didn't expect her to refuse so quickly. Anger instantly flashed in his deep eyes.
He didn't understand. What was he inferior to Bai Beichen in? How many women were begging for a chance to get close to him!
"Fine. Think it over!" He gritted his teeth. "This is your only chance. Don't come and beg me later!"
"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to hang up, Shen Youjin called out to him. "I have something to ask you. That night..."
