Qiu Jin put down the wine glass and motioned the maid to hand her the sunscreen lotion. She uncapped it and applied on her arm. “The second master of the Huo family. I heard the child call him father the last time I met him.”
“Huo Yunting must be mad.” Xiang Jinxi snickered as he knew long ago about the relationship between the two. After Lu Zhaoyang left, Huo Yunting was depressed for a while. Seeing Huo Yunting’s anger and jealousy, it was worth celebrating.
“Isn’t that exactly what you want?” Qiu Jin clapped her hands. “Relax. Do you want to take a dip?”
“You know I am not fond of physical exercise.” Xiang Jinxi gulped the wine down in celebration of the misfortunate of Huo Yunting.
“You are boring by giving up the opportunity to swim with a beautiful woman like me.” Qiu Jin got to her feet and glanced sideways at him. “President Xiang, you will be lonely for the rest of your life.”
“That is my business.”
“Ha, ha…” Qiu Jin sneered with intermittent pause, “So many women have tried to approach you, but they all die a martyr under your ice-cold expression.” She jumped into the pool with a splash and swam agilely like a fish.
Xiang Jinxi put down the wine glass and looked up at the sky under the shade of his sunglasses. He was prepared to live a lonely life, as his obsession with something was more important than his own happiness.
When Xiang Jinxi left, Qiu Jin stopped at the side of the pool, looking and shaking her head as he slowly disappeared before her eyes. Xiang Jinxi was Qiu Jin’s senior at the university. If not for this relationship, she might not necessarily clinch a deal with Xiang Yuan Corp. Of course, there was another reason behind her decision. But Qiu Jin would not place her hope in this man who had no interest in anyone except himself.

Three days later, Ming Yue was in a black car, fully armed with a mask and sunglasses.
Earlier, she had been filming in Hengguo. Her schedule was packed, and she was not allowed to take leave. Today, the director gave her a day off. So, she rushed back immediately.
With the results of the last investigation still lingering in her mind, thinking that she would soon be replaced and that Huo Yunting would discard her like a used toilet paper, she became restless and had difficulty concentrating in her role during the filming.
The logo of Thunderbolt Corp looked powerful and imposing. The top of the building seemed to pierce through the cloud when looking from below. This was her main battlefield, where she was determined to make herself the wife of the president of Thunderbolt Corp.
The car stopped. Ming Yue got down from the vehicle. She wanted to claim Huo Yunting as her own before the other woman got to him.
Having been here a few times, Ming Yue knew her way. After getting out of the elevator, she did a quick touch-up to her makeup and put on an alluring smile, ensuring that she looked elegant and presentable. Ming Yue came before the president’s office and knocked on the door a couple of times, but no one answered. So, she pushed the door open. Sure enough, no one was inside.
Ming Yue leered at every corner of the office as if she was imagining Huo Yunting lackadaisically sitting there and luring her with his enchanting smile. Her heart pounded involuntarily. She closed the door behind her and walked gently toward the lounge. Ming Yue looked around and padded past the neat king-sized bed before getting into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of water was heard inside.
