Ning Beichen hadn't expected to be initiated by a woman, which made him, Ning Yanwang, feel quite disgraced. Though the woman was beautiful, a rare and exceptional kind, she was inexperienced, like a clumsy sailor.
But that wasn't the point.
He, Ning Beichen, wasn't someone with a spiritual潔癖. The crucial thing was that this woman was a virgin.
This made Ning Beichen very frustrated.
He had many women, spread across the globe, but he never accepted girls who hadn't yet become women. It wasn't due to any psychological issues, but purely because he didn't want to invite karmic entanglement.
The life of marriage and children was too terrifying!
A girl and a woman, though only a difference of one character, were two entirely different species.
If it had been a mature woman last night, Ning Beichen would have zipped up his pants and left without a word. It was a consensual act; did he need to take responsibility?
But looking at the plum blossom imprint left on the bedsheet, he felt he shouldn't be so classless and that it would be better to clarify things.
"Excuse me… last night you initiated it. We're both adults, you don't expect me to take responsibility, do you?"
Ning Beichen had already noticed the woman waking up. She was currently staring at him with cold, murderous eyes, her entire being like an iceberg from the Arctic, devoid of any warmth, causing the temperature in the room to drop significantly. He felt a pang of unease; he was most afraid of women who neither cried nor made a fuss.
"Last night, we were drinking in the same bar. We were both quite drunk. You said I was a man with a story, that my words were pleasant to hear, and that you liked me immensely. Then you pestered me relentlessly, and I couldn't shake you off…"
"That's how it is. We're both adult men and women. Truthfully, it's not a big deal, and my body is very healthy, with no hidden ailments. You don't need to worry about that."
To prevent her from overthinking, Ning Beichen felt he had a responsibility to explain.
Liu Yilin's eyes remained like an iceberg, fixed on Ning Beichen, her heart a complex mixture of emotions.
She had some memories of what happened at the bar last night. She hadn't expected that she, who had always been chaste, would act so wildly and end up with a stranger. Her heart was in turmoil.
Regret?
Perhaps some.
Annoyance?
Maybe so.
But since it had already happened, she wouldn't lose her mind over it.
In fact, she had woken up earlier and had seen Ning Beichen's body. To be honest, she didn't dislike him, but that didn't mean she liked him.
What happened last night told her that this man wasn't exactly a good person, because he had nine terrifying scars on his back. How many good people would have so many scars?
"Turn around."
This was the first sentence Liu Yilin spoke after a long silence.
Ning Beichen obediently turned around and heard the rustling sound of clothes being put on behind him.
After a while, a cold voice came from behind.
"Forget about this. Nothing happened between us last night. Once we leave this room, we have no connection. If you dare to use this as a topic of conversation, I guarantee that even the vastness of Haizhou New City won't protect your life!"
"Also, the money on the bedside table is hush money for you."
"Take your money back! What do you take me for?"
Ning Beichen turned around, looking at the woman, and questioned her with some annoyance.
This woman had clearly stolen his script. This was a line he should have said, and one he had said many times before. Now, she had taken the initiative.
"Hmph! Do as you please."
The woman turned and walked out without looking back, only the sound of her high heels on the ground fading away.
"What a mess. I spent a night with her for free, and yet I have to endure her humiliation. I don't even know her name."
Ning Beichen had no good feelings towards women who were so cold and arrogant.
Inside the car, Liu Yilin squeezed her eyes shut tightly, took a deep breath, her legs trembling slightly. A certain place still ached faintly, and a tear rolled down.
After a while.
She took off the wig from her head and removed her colored contact lenses, revealing a pure and chaste appearance. If anyone familiar were there, they would surely exclaim in surprise.
Wasn't she Liu Yilin, the beautiful CEO of Tianmei Technology Group in Haizhou New City, hailed as one of the four most beautiful women on the Finance and Economics charts?
Her waterfall-like beautiful hair cascaded behind her. She then took out a pair of glasses from her bag and put them on, instantly transforming into a dignified and beautiful woman.
She didn't hate the man who had turned her into a woman last night, because she remembered that she had been the one to initiate it. It wasn't his fault; he hadn't forced her.
It was just that losing her virginity so carelessly, and to a stranger whose name she didn't even know, made her feel a sense of unwillingness.
Leaning back against the seat.
Liu Yilin couldn't help but wonder what kind of person this man was.
Why did he have so many scars on his back?
Not long after, Liu Yilin returned to her company.
However, compared to her usual self, she seemed somewhat absent-minded today, lacking energy for anything. She felt she needed to talk to someone about this matter, otherwise, she would go crazy.
She picked up her phone and called her best friend, Fang Qing.
"Fang Qing, I spent the night with a man last night."
Liu Yilin confessed to her best friend.
"Liu Yilin, what did you just say?"
"I said, I spent the night with a man last night!"
"Wait for me, I'm coming right over."
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the phone. Soon after, Fang Qing appeared before Liu Yilin in a rush.
"Let me guess, is it Young Master Fang, who's been pursuing you?"
Fang Qing guessed excitedly.
"No."
Liu Yilin shook her head.
"Not him? Could it be Nangong Haobai from the top influential family in Haizhou New City!"
Fang Qing's eyes widened in surprise.
"Not him either."
Liu Yilin still shook her head.
"Then who is it? Besides those two, are there any other men who can catch the eye of the wealthy Liu?"
Fang Qing was astonished. She knew her good friend very well; there were very few men in the world who could impress this wealthy lady.
Liu Yilin had a good figure, stunning looks, immense wealth, and sharp intelligence. She was also known by the media as one of the four most beautiful women on the Finance and Economics charts.
The Tianmei Technology Group she had built was worth billions. The men who wanted to pursue her could circle the city's ring road. Who was this man so capable that he had quietly "captured" her?
