"I want to go home." An Ying reiterated once more.
Her light, willow-like eyebrows arched delicately like distant mountains, and the slight inebriation on her face made her entire demeanor appear so gentle and lovely.
"Tonight, Mr. Su has reserved the entire vacation resort, all our staff will be staying here. Besides, the drivers have all had some drinks, asking them to drive you back now is not realistic. Rest here tonight." Manager Wu stood nearby, seemingly cajoling her gently, a sly glint passing through his eyes.
A noisy voice buzzed in her ears. An Ying intermittently listened to the other side’s words, a layer of sadness covering her thin, pale face.
"Alright then." Since everyone is here, An Ying nodded reluctantly.
"Please assist this young lady to her room." Seeing her agree, Manager Wu eagerly turned to the attendant.
"Alright." The attendant smiled and agreed.
Finally, An Ying left the hall with the support of two attendants.
Few people noticed her departing; the majority were engrossed in drinking, singing, and making merry, happy beyond measure.
At this moment, Manager Wu leaned close to Su Jianteng and said solemnly, "Mr. Su, everything is arranged."
"Manager Wu, thank you for your hard work." Su Jianteng nodded with satisfaction, a glint of appreciation in his eyes.
Manager Wu beamed proudly.
At this point, noticing Mr. Su’s anxious demeanor, the assistant stood up and addressed the crowd, "Everyone, enjoy yourselves. Mr. Su is feeling a bit tipsy and will rest now."
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for the hospitality."
Everyone responded with joyful enthusiasm.
The assistant, seeing this, gave Manager Wu some instructions, then followed behind Su Jianteng as they left together.
Amidst the mountains, street lamps glittered, and a refreshing scent of grass and trees assailed them as they walked among the lush plants, everyone feeling at ease.
But Su Jianteng had no mind to appreciate the scenery along the way; all his thoughts centered on the beauty inside.
Thinking of her lying in the room at that moment, his desire boiled within him, nearly igniting himself, even his steps quickened.
The assistant, observing Mr. Su’s eager demeanor, lowered his head and followed closely. Over the years, Mr. Su was never short of women around him; encountering a beautiful woman, he would always become restless. Undoubtedly, those women eventually became Mr. Su’s playthings, as Mr. Su was very generous when it came to women.
As for this Miss An, seeming elegant and pure, in time she would surely cling to Mr. Su, thought the assistant cynically.
Finally, guided by the attendant, they arrived in front of a two-story small building.
Along the way, they saw many such small buildings, but none compared to this one, showing a notable difference.
Clearly, the resort’s management put much thought into this.
"Please enter, Mr. Su." The attendant opened the door.
Su Jianteng nodded and stepped inside.
The assistant waited outside the door, having no intention of entering. "All service personnel guarding around here can retreat now."
Hearing the observer’s words, the attendant hesitated for a moment, but recalling the observer’s identity, he bowed and said, "Alright."
The attendant turned and withdrew all of the night guards.
The assistant saw this, sighed deeply, and looked up at the pitch-black sky. Tonight, amid the piercing coldness, even the stars were hiding.
After taking a bath, An Ying’s previously hazy head cleared a bit. She didn’t dare use the resort’s provided robe, still dressed in her own clothes.
Entering, seeing the exquisite Chinese-style small building, a touch of softness flowed through her gaze.
Admittedly, the environment and layout here evoked a sense of tranquility and delight. Even her room, decorated with wall paintings and arrangements, emitted a national style, immersing her in an ancient era’s illusion.
The bed in her room was adorned with red drapes, casting a warm, languid hue under the lamplight.
Perhaps everyone’s rooms were .
An Ying lifted the quilt and lay quietly upon the bed, her forehead still vaguely aching, even holding the walls to bathe earlier.
She drank rarely as an adult.
Only the few times with someone, gradually her mind drifted afar, hinting at a faint sorrow on her face.
Though the memories were beautiful, they accompanied the pain.
Lying alone in an unfamiliar place, An Ying couldn’t sleep, nor dared she turn off the lights, her head heavy with drowsiness but fighting to stay awake.
Eventually, she took out her phone, opened WeChat, and scrolled through her conversations with her daughter; the unease of being alone in a strange place slowly faded away.
A dull sound came from outside the door.
An Ying’s heart jumped. She listened intently to the noises outside, tightly gripping her phone.
"Who is it?" An Ying asked, her voice trembling.
"It’s me." Su Jianteng’s voice was low.
"Mr. Su, do you need something?" Hearing the man’s voice, An Ying stiffened, even a fine sweat forming on her back.
She held her phone, warily activating the recording function.
"The scenery here is so beautiful, let’s come out and enjoy it," Su Jianteng invited.
"No need, I’m going to sleep." An Ying refused outright.
Staring at the closed door, An Ying’s breathing tightened, relieved that the door was locked from the inside; as long as she didn’t open it, the man couldn’t come in, she thought.
"Miss An, if you make me happy tonight, how about I take you to buy a house tomorrow?" Through her employment form, he had learned of her plight, living in an old building with no elevator, in harsh conditions.
Based on his experience dealing with women over the years, providing materially would bring even the most chaste and proud women to him effortlessly.
"Mr. Su, please leave." An Ying’s voice turned cold, the aversion in her words evident.
The door was forcefully pushed open by the man, clanging loudly.
An Ying watched the man open the door effortlessly, looking at him in shock.
She had locked it just now...
How could he open it so easily?
Before she could dwell on it, she saw the man stepping towards her.
"Mr. Su, what are you doing?" An Ying shrank to the bedhead, seeing the lewd gaze fixed upon her, she frantically searched around, hoping to find an escape. Latest content publıshed on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
"An Ying, ever since I first saw you, I couldn’t forget you." Su Jianteng took swift strides to the bedside, pulling back the red drapes, and gazing at her exquisite beauty, a sanguine hue filled his eyes, "Living alone with your daughter must be so hard for you. If you come with me, I swear I will never neglect you both."
The man moved swiftly, even gesturing as if taking an oath.
