Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Wen Shengsheng had long hair draped over her back, and she wore a white spaghetti strap dress with some exotic decorations on the chest, paired with light brown woven shoes, which complemented her perfectly.

She wore almost no makeup, and in the sunlight, her entire body glowed white, clean, and pure, like an ethereal fairy. Her pair of moist, starry eyes were deep and bright, radiating endless vitality.

This created a stark visual contrast with the heavily made-up, overly-done socialites and beauties on the deck.

Knowing that there would be many young masters present today, and not wanting to become the subject of their gossip, Wen Shengsheng deliberately dressed plainly.

However, she underestimated the devastating power of her stunningly beautiful face...

The simpler the design, the better it looks.

After a moment of stunned silence, Gong Xiaochen's eyes darkened slightly, and he leaned back lazily onto the sofa.

He stared straight at Wen Shengsheng, his tone indifferent.

"Now that you're here, take a seat."

As soon as Gong Xiaochen finished speaking, Lu Jie immediately pulled Wen Shengsheng to sit next to Li Chuan, and made them sit down next to Gong Xiaochen.

Wen Shengsheng's heart was pounding, and she tensed up completely.

She wouldn't mistake that voice or that face.

It was the man from that night...

Li Chuan called her several times before she finally sat down, looking dazed.

Fortunately, Gong Xiaochen didn't seem to have any intention of exposing the truth, and casually started chatting with the beautiful woman in blue next to him.

Li Chuan handed her a glass of juice, telling her to have something to drink first.

Ruth, the rumored one, arrived shortly afterward.

Wen Shengsheng glanced at her and realized that she was a popular young singer known as Sweetie.

She was dressed in a flamboyant and lively manner, and greeted the young men present one by one, acting as if they were very familiar with each other.

Then, she looked in the direction of Li Chuan, her gaze landing directly on Wen Shengsheng.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Li Chuan visibly tensed up.

Wen Shengsheng pinched him from behind to signal him to calm down, and then smiled generously at Ruth.

After Ruth nodded in response, she began chatting closely with Gong Xiaochen.

He would occasionally crack a witty remark, making everyone laugh heartily.

It was obvious that she was more interested in Gong Xiaochen.

Li Chuan's expression was somewhat bitter, but he still couldn't help but go along with her and chatted with her occasionally.

Wen Shengsheng listened for a while and saw that their conversation consisted mainly of flirtatious banter, which was not very meaningful.

Although she found it a bit boring, she felt relieved.

Since this Gong Xiaochen can be called the "crown prince of the Beijing circle," he must have no shortage of women around him. That young lady in blue is probably his current girlfriend or companion.

With the girl in blue there, he probably wouldn't care about her one-night stand with him.

Lu Jie sat next to her, occasionally clinking glasses with her and exchanging a few words, his intention to strike up a conversation quite clearly.

Wen Shengsheng didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she made an excuse to leave and went to the bar to check the news on her phone for a while.

Financial fluctuations are closely related to current affairs; any seemingly insignificant news or incident can cause fluctuations in a major commodity.

She was engrossed in the book when she suddenly felt a warmth behind her and a faint scent of alcohol on her face.

Wen Shengsheng looked up and glanced back, her scalp instantly tightening.

He was a ruthless and cunning minister.

"Your boyfriend's soul has been stolen by someone else, aren't you going to do anything about it?" His voice was low and husky, and when his sharp eyes swept over her, they carried a strong sense of aggression, making Wen Shengsheng instinctively feel nervous.

She gripped her phone tightly and explained, "He's not my boyfriend. He has a crush on that little singer and brought me here on purpose to get her attention."

Gong Xiaochen paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to explain to me?"

"Um... I'm not explaining, I'm just telling the truth."

"Ha, your truth..." he said with a mocking expression, "I can't believe it."

"She barged into my room late at night and told me she would take responsibility. I gave her everything, and she just left without saying goodbye. What truth could a woman like that have after sex be saying?"

Never having heard such a direct and blatant teasing before, Wen Shengsheng's face instantly turned red, like a bursting tomato.

"No...no, what I meant by being responsible is giving you money..."

As soon as she said that, Wen Shengsheng regretted it.

250 yuan sounds insulting, especially since he's already so rich, he's probably even more upset.

Sure enough, Gong Xiaochen chuckled twice.

The trembling of his chest through her clothes stimulated Wen Shengsheng, making her unconsciously think of that night, his madness and his extreme demands.

"I'm going to check on Lichuan."

She wanted to leave, but Gong Xiaochen's arms encircled her around the table, preventing her from getting out.

She couldn't help but glance towards Li Chuan for help.

The idiot was staring intently at Ruth with a perverted grin, completely oblivious to her embarrassment.

Wen Shengsheng sighed inwardly and said, "Mr. Gong, I did mispronounce something that day. You helped me, and I'm willing to compensate you. Can you name a condition? If I can do it, I definitely will."

Gong Xiaochen looked down at her, a gentle sea breeze ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead.

That night at the garden villa, Wen Shengsheng didn't have time to even look at his appearance.

As the two suddenly drew closer, she was able to get a proper look at his face.

Gong Xiaochen has a cold and handsome appearance, with a very strong bone structure in his face. Just like his name, he is handsome in a very aggressive way.

His nose was high and straight, his brow bones were prominent, and his eyes were shrouded in a shadow beneath his brow bones, dark and deep, like the distant night sky.

It carried emotions that Wen Shengsheng couldn't understand.

"Then tell me first, what do you have?" He changed the subject, released his arms from Wen Shengsheng, leaned against the table, and lit a cigarette.

These words successfully stunned Wen Shengsheng.

She had just started working and was penniless. Her only asset was a large apartment in Jiuru Mansion, but that was the only thing her parents left her, and she would never give it up.

"I... I have nothing right now."

"Then why did you say you'd compensate me?" Gong Xiaochen smiled, a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"You didn't say what you wanted. Just because I don't have it now doesn't mean I won't in the future." She pursed her lips, her tone pleading. "Can't I just owe you one?"

Gong Xiaochen's expression was indifferent, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

He exhaled a smoke ring. "You're too cunning, I need to think about it."

Knowing she couldn't avoid it, Wen Shengsheng took out paper and pen from her bag and wrote down her phone number.

"Call me when you've thought it through," she said, handing over the piece of paper.

Gong Xiaochen took it, and when his dark eyes swept over the phone number on the paper, a hint of a half-smile inadvertently appeared. Then, without saying a word, he lazily walked into the hotel.

Although he had left, Wen Shengsheng felt uneasy for some reason and couldn't completely relax. She felt as if some conspiracy was waiting for her.

Night had fallen, and the evening's programs began one after another.

The party was organized by Gong Xiaochen's good friend, He Yu. As soon as the music started, Ruth rushed to the center and began to sing.

Li Chuan told Wen Shengsheng to be reserved, but he still followed along to support her.

Meanwhile, barbecue, desserts, champagne, and all sorts of other delicacies were carried in by waiters in a line.

A scene of extravagance.

Gong Xiaochen has disappeared and hasn't returned yet.

At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted something.

"Young Master Xi is here!"

Wen Shengsheng paused in her drinking, and saw a beautiful couple walking towards her hand in hand from afar.

The man was aloof and handsome, while the woman was gentle and charming.

It could only be Xi Yu and Li Wanqiu.

Jiao Yang and several girls followed behind them happily, chatting and laughing.

During the years Xi Yu spent taking care of Wen Shengsheng at Jiuru Mansion, he missed the opportunity to go to university. As a result, for a period of time, people in the circle would always ridicule him for his academic qualifications.

Fortunately, he lived up to expectations. After returning to the Xi family and taking over the business, he immediately demonstrated his business acumen and skills, and completed several major projects in succession.

Therefore, he still has some influence in Beijing's social circles, and people in the room stood up to greet him.

Their gazes both paused when they fell on Wen Shengsheng.
