Jiang Chen was stunned, failing to catch on.
“What?”
“Let’s verify it.”
Pei Yunxi spoke calmly.
Jiang Chen’s mind was in chaos.
Verify?
Verify what?
“Do I have to do it myself?”
Pei Yunxi asked again.
Jiang Chen just stared blankly at her.
Pei Yunxi didn’t say anything more, she just lifted her hand and reached behind her back.
Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly exclaimed, “Wait, wait a minute…”
What’s happening?!
Is she about to disrobe and present herself willingly?!
Pei Yunxi stopped and lifted her head, her captivating eyes completely calm.
“Isn’t this what you want?
I’ll give it to you.”
Just as he thought!
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but swallow hard, his heart racing uncontrollably.
He was no fledgling.
He had just faced an extreme temptation and remained unflustered.
But this was Pei Yunxi!
A woman considered a paragon of Eastern beauty, destined to become a global sensation!
And she was actually offering herself to him!
Jiang Chen’s mind went blank.
It was clear.
With a simple nod of his head at this moment, she would take off her lavish clothes, in a manner never seen before, and unveil herself to him.
And then.
He could fulfill countless men’s dreams and do as he pleased with that rare beauty.
The heat that he had forcefully quelled in Beverly Hills was boiling in his veins once more.
His body’s strong instincts urged Jiang Chen to agree immediately, but the scant presence of reason held him back.
Her making such an unexpected move was highly abnormal.
But he could be certain, she was not joking.
“Or do you want to do it yourself?”
Pei Yunxi asked once more.
That flawless, stunning face showed no shyness, no sadness, no humiliation, only an intriguing sense of Ning Jing, like
—accepting a fate long since sealed.
As a female celebrity, being coveted is unavoidable.
For this, she had tried every possible means over the years.
But now.
It seemed she couldn’t escape it.
After multiple acts of aid, and considering the enormous wealth she possessed, aside from using her body, she didn’t know what else she could use to express her gratitude.
After all, that is how the world worked.
There was no logic to receiving without giving in return.
What men desired was nothing more than her body; she might as well give it away.
Compared to other women, she had been lucky enough already, hadn’t she.
Jiang Chen’s gaze fluctuated drastically, and finally, he took a deep breath.
Truth be told, he was indeed very tempted.
But he understood if he nodded, tonight he would indeed have pleasure beyond imagining, yet the consequences of a brief fling might mean the mission could never be completed.
If he wasn’t mistaken, her peculiar behavior was entirely motivated by the idea of compensating him with her body.
He certainly could accept proudly, and from then on, she might even become his lover, but the result of that would turn their relationship into a mere transaction.
Just like those commonly seen in society!
Then all his prior efforts could come to naught, and her heart might never open up to him again.
Perhaps to other men, that wouldn’t matter at all, for just one night with Pei Yunxi would be worth dying for—who would care whether her heart was involved or not.
But Jiang Chen couldn’t be so “liberated.”
So.
Just when Pei Yunxi had reached for the zipper on her back and slowly started to pull it down, he cursed under his breath.
“Crazy.”
Pei Yunxi froze.
“…What did you say?”
Jiang Chen didn’t utter another word, he turned and walked away quickly.
“Bang.”
Soon after, the sound of a door closing could be heard from outside.
Pei Yunxi sat on the bed, completely dazed.
