Ye Qiu looked around, nothing was left. Frustrated, she clenched her fists, her gaze fell on the clothes scattered on the floor. Her expression quickly shifted again. Ye Qiu lifted the quilt, awkwardly picking up the clothes on the floor. Her movements were somewhat slow and rigid. After she got dressed, Ye Qiu fled the room that had ruined her innocence. Unbeknownst to her, a man dressed in black watched her hurried departure expressionlessly. After she was gone, he turned and entered another room.

"Boss, she has left." In the luxurious yet somehow icy room, a man lowered his head, his voice mechanical and cold.

"Oh? Is that so?" The man, seated in a black lacquered wooden chair, slowly turned to reveal a handsome face, chiseled like a sculpture. He was dressed in a black, expensive suit. His fine, dark hair, under the dim light, seemed to emanate a lingering chill. His slender, sharp eyes hinted a subtle, cold glint. Under his high-bridged nose were thin lips, more forbidding than a blade. His exquisite, rigid chin was sinfully lifted, his voice mysteriously dark and appealing.

"Rong Yan, have a car ready; we're going to the Ji residence." The man's slender fingers lightly drummed on the table, his gaze commanding.

"Yes." Rong Yan glanced at the man and responded with a bow.

The man stood up, his tall silhouette casting a daunting reflection in the massive glass. This terrifying yet majestic figure was Ji HanChuan, the head of the Ji family.

"Autumn, I'm back. Will you be happy to see me? Haha, I can't wait." A strange smile twitched at the corners of his godly handsome face. His lips curled up in a sinister grin, exuding a seductive chill that made one shudder.

"Qiu, where are you? I've been looking for you all night." After consciously coming back from the allure, Ye Qiu felt a wave of confusion. Strengthening herself against her sore body, she was about to go to take a shower when she received a call from Ji Mubai. Her heart ached at the sound of Ji Mubai's gentle and weary voice.

"Mubai, I..." Ye Qiu clenched her fist, she wanted to tell Ji Mubai what happened last night. However, the sentences got stuck in her throat, feeling like a fishbone as they tried to come out.

What could she tell Ji Mubai? That she went into the allure after his call and ended up spending the night with another man? Even if Ji Mubai wouldn't mind, she wouldn't allow it. Right now, she only wanted to know who had set her up and who was the man from last night.

"Whats wrong? Your voice sounds off, did you catch a cold?" Ji Mubai asked with underlying concern upon hearing Ye Qiu's hoarse voice.

"Mubai, I'm fine. I went out with friends last night and forgot to call you, I'm sorry." Ye Qiu tightened her lips, looking somewhat exhausted.

"Silly girl, why are you apologizing? I'm coming to pick you up now."

"Ah?" Caught off guard by Ji Mubai's pampering words, she hadn't reacted before his soothing voice came again.

"Qiu, have you forgotten? Today is the day I take you to meet my parents. My uncle has already returned from abroad. I want to take you to meet him." Hearing Ye Qiu's confused voice, Ji Mubai couldn't help but chuckle again, somewhat helplessly.

"Just wait for me at home, I'm coming to pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu seemed extremely exhausted. She laid on the bed, thinking about last night's events, but her heart was still restless, she felt an unknown bout of agitation and fury.
