She emerged from the shower, wrapped herself in a long bathrobe, put on a silver planet necklace, and admired the imposing moon tattoo on her arm.

Her phone received countless messages, and the continuous vibrations and ringtones ruined her good mood.

Su Qi answered the last call with great displeasure.

"Hey, I'm reporting to you, did you even look at it?" Lynn was enjoying sunbathing and a massage on the beach, wearing sunglasses.

Su Qi hung up the phone and checked her WeChat messages.

"Ding-dong-"

"Ding dong..."

Lynn's chat window popped up with several image messages, all sent in real time.

Lynn was on vacation in Maladev and even hired two young men with excellent massage skills to keep her company; it was incredibly comfortable.

Su Qi sent a message complaining: Traveling is so boring, I really don't know where you can enjoy it so much.

Lynn: It's money that gives me confidence.

Lynn: Thanks to you making so much money lately, I've also made millions while living the high life. Wouldn't it be better to use that money for a vacation?

Lynn: I'm neither married nor have children, so I can spend this money however I want.

Su Qi: ...You're not unmarried, you're just unable to find a partner.

Lynn had been on several blind dates before, but the men all rejected her on the grounds that she weighed 200 pounds and was not suitable for having children. She didn't care, though, life still goes on even if she's not married.

Su Qi had considered that those blind date partners clearly disliked Lynn's figure; otherwise, they wouldn't be unwilling to marry a celebrity agent who earns millions a year.

Humans are most driven by self-interest, especially men.

Su Qi: Okay, then have a good vacation. Remember to get me some acting gigs. I'm practically a variety show personality now.

Lynn: Yes, yes, Miss.

As soon as he put down his phone, with the bathroom door still open, a dark figure walked past him. Su Qi instinctively covered the tattoo on his arm with his hand.

Although I've forgotten how I got the tattoo, I can't directly reveal things related to my past.

She walked to the door but couldn't see the source of the shadow until a lazy-looking man stood behind her: "Tsk, your reaction time has deteriorated."

Shen Chaohuai leaned against the bathroom mirror and caught a glimpse of her covered arm.

He started taking off his clothes.

Su Qi was startled: "No, what are you doing?!"

Shen Chaohuai took off his coat and threw it into the basket: "You don't even know when someone comes in. I don't feel comfortable letting you go back to the Shen family to live like this, so I moved back here to live with you."

Su Qi hurriedly said, "If you're going to stay, why are you taking off your clothes?"

She covered her eyes and turned around, only to find a mirror behind her that reflected his body.

"I'd like to take a shower too. Would you mind leaving for a moment, Miss Su?" he said with a smile, his tone even calm.

As Su Qi pushed open the door and walked out, she bumped into a box by the door, her leg muscles aching as if they were being torn apart.

"Shameless..." Su Qi complained to him.

Once the bathroom door closed, Su Qi noticed that the pockets of the clothes Shen Chaohuai had thrown into the basket were shiny.

Driven by curiosity, she crouched down to take a look. Because she got so close, she could smell the fragrance on Shen Chaohuai's clothes.

It has a scent reminiscent of railway sleepers or peach wood, but more of a dried rose aroma.

She wanted to reach out and touch the purse, but was afraid that the smell would get on her and cause Shen Chaohuai to complain.

In the end, she pretended nothing had happened and turned to go back to her room.

The next second, the brooch fell out of the pocket of the clothes.

She saw a brooch made of blue silver ore that was not of this earth, and the pattern on the brooch was exactly the same as the tattoo on her arm.

Her memory was a bit muddled, and she suddenly felt a sharp headache.

A voice told her, "The first step to joining the Vanguard Alliance is to get the Alliance's special emblem tattooed on your body."

"Once a tattoo is done, it can never be removed in this lifetime."

She pointed at the CEO and asked, "As the top official, why doesn't he have a tattoo?"

The officer pointed to the brooch on his chest and said, "I don't like wearing them. What? You have a problem with that?"

As memories returned, Su Qi felt somewhat dazed.

That's it...?

That's probably all he can remember, which is of no use to Su Qi in searching for his past life memories.

She heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and looked at the closed bathroom door: "So, he was that officer..."

When Su Qi returned to her room, Shen Chaohuai changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom. He saw the brooch on the floor, and then looked at Su Qi's room door. He immediately realized that his identity had been exposed.

He looked up and smiled, then put the clothes into the washing machine.

A moment later, Su Qi came out of the room, just in time to use the washing machine.

There are six washing machines in the laundry room next to the bathroom, each labeled. A long time ago, each member of the Shen family used one. Since Shen Qingyue moved away and the Shen family underwent changes, he replaced all the washing machines with new ones.

Shen Chaohuai alone occupied three washing machines.

Since she didn't know how to use it, Su Qi could only choose a small washing machine that was plugged in and running.

Shen Chaohuai quickly stopped him, his face flushed: "This is for washing my underwear, you can use the one across the street."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Su Qi pursed her lips, feigning modesty.

Shen Chaohuai had just breathed a sigh of relief when Su Qi stuffed the remaining clothes into another washing machine that had just started up.

He was so startled that he rushed over and hugged her, but realizing he had overstepped his bounds, he hurriedly withdrew his hands, saying, "These are the socks I wash."

Su Qi almost rolled her eyes to the sky: "Then which one should I use?"

"The three stations opposite are all yours."

Su Qi stood there staring blankly. He suddenly realized that Su Qi didn't know how to use the washing machine, so he actually started washing her clothes by hand.

"Never mind, I'll do it. You go back and rest."

Shen Chaohuai rolled up his sleeves and began doing housework diligently.

After he rolled up his sleeves, Su Qi saw the moon tattoo on his arm.

She covered her mouth in shock and stared wide-eyed.

Didn't he say he didn't like tattoos? Why is he tattooed on his right arm like hers?

Su Qi closed the door, took a deep breath, and stared blankly out the window.

I suddenly realized that asking him to help with laundry... was that a bit too intimate?

Shen Chaohuai hung the clothes on the balcony. Because of his height advantage, he didn't need a clothesline or to stand on tiptoe.

The maids' eyes sparkled at the sight; they envied his height and found him handsome and charming.

It was 6:30 p.m., and only Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai were in the restaurant.

The servants served cutlery, knives and forks, and even chopsticks in turn.

Eight dishes were served in succession, each a mini portion of Michelin-star quality, gone in a single bite.

Shen Chaohuai would only take a small bite each time, and then elegantly wipe the food residue from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

While some might call him pretentious, his indifference was perfectly measured, and his innate charisma made him captivating even when he was eating.

Finally, he quickly and efficiently straightened his clothes.

"Have those two on the third floor eaten yet?"

Wang Ma frowned: "They won't eat anything no matter what I say, but I left some dry bread at the door, so they can get it themselves if they get hungry."

Shen Chaohuai sneered: "They say they'll starve to death, but when they're really about to die, their will to survive kicks in."

Su Qi asked in surprise, "So, actually, they can come out?"

Shen Chaohuai paused: "Didn't you look carefully? There's a food delivery window on the wall next to us."

Su Qi: "You really don't treat them like human beings."

Shen Chaohuai smiled indifferently: "I'm not even human, so how do you think I would treat them?"

Afraid that she would misunderstand him, Wang Ma added, "Actually, it was the master who asked for it. He said in a fit of pique that doing this would appease the young master and please him."

"Who told you to be so talkative?" Shen Chaohuai complained on the surface, but he was actually happy inside, at least this way Su Qi wouldn't dislike him.

Su Qi realized that to gain the trust of these two people in order to find the entrance to the secret room in their room, he might start with some small things.

"I'll go see them and encourage them to eat properly."

Shen Chaohuai did not object, but nodded slightly in agreement.
