The majestic figure lazily leaned back against his plush velvet chair with his long legs crossed one over the other, and the black gemstone ring on his index finger gleamed coldly.
From his tightly clenched jaw to his earlobe, the perfect contours of his dashing face signified his aristocratic bloodline.
In S City, people paled at the mere mention of the legendary Beiming Xiaoxi.
The ultra-thin laptop on his lap was displaying live coverage of what was going on in the cafe at that moment.
His lips curled up in an icy sneer.
"Young Master, these are all the documents we have on her." His subordinate, Will, subserviently handed over the files.
For 28 years, no woman had been able to get close to the young master…
"The old man just called and demanded that you wed her."
Master Beiming was desperate to have a grandchild, so at this point, he was willing to force any woman, no matter how promiscuous, to marry his son.
Beiming Shaoxi's glacial eyes were passionless, and his scarlet lips were firmly pursed in a cold line.
His chiseled features made him, like black blossoms that bloomed in the dark, toxically alluring.
…
Ji Anan had left the cafe but couldn't help feeling repulsed at the thought of Shi Zihan.
Her foot suddenly slipped, and she almost tumbled to the ground.
There was a gold bedazzled phone with a diamond-embellished home button on the ground.
She picked up the phone. Who had dropped it?
Of course, she wouldn't claim it as her own, but at that moment, the phone started ringing.
"Our boss has SPS tracking on the phone, so we know where you are. Don't think you can escape."
"..."
"Stay right where you are. The data in that phone is more important than your entire being. Unless you want the family members listed on your personal file to disappear from this Earth, you better…"
Ji Anan was seriously irked by the arrogant tone of the person on the other end. "Sorry, but you'll have to search for it in the sky."
She hung up the phone, then bought a bunch of balloons from a vendor on the street and proceeded to tie the phone to them by making a knot with the strings.
It was a wondrous sight, a myriad of colorful balloons rising up into the sky…
'Let's see if they're high and mighty enough to use a plane to search for it.'
…
Across the street, a bodyguard using the positioning system discovered to his horror that—
"Boss, your phone was dropped on the ground outside the cafe, but now it appears that it's in the air."
He crumpled up the files in his hand. There was an impassive expression on his handsome face while he watched firsthand how Ji Anan tied his cellphone to a bunch of balloons, then let them rise up into the sky.
His lips curled into a smirk. This woman... was somewhat intriguing.
"Will, have someone follow her."
Will was astonished. Did that mean that the young master was interested in that woman? But she appeared so... plain…
…
After returning to the Ji family residence, Ji Anan became consciously aware of the unbearable ache in her lower body, and every single step she took made her suck in her breath from the pain.
Had that jerk never touched a woman before? Why had he been so rough…
Sitting in front of her vanity mirror, she took off her curly wig.
A mane of long hair was released. Her hair was soft and silky, and she looked like a royal princess.
She deftly put makeup remover on a cotton pad and started patting it on her face to remove her makeup.
Soon, an exquisite face was revealed.
Her eyes were like black diamonds, while her eyelashes were long and curly.
She was as enchanting as a deep-sea siren, and her plump, seductive lips were as red as rose petals.
Three years ago, when the Su family went bankrupt and she collapsed in the rain, it was Shi Zihan who had saved her.
The combined shock of losing both parents made her sink into a state of deep depression, and she was on the verge of taking her own life many times, yet Shi Zihan stayed right by her side the entire time, encouraging her during the darkest period of her life.
She had never harbored any feelings towards him, let alone agreed to be with him. He was the one who had begged her to be his girlfriend, even if it was only in name.
She never broke her self-imposed rules and refused to let him touch her, because she already had someone else in her heart.
She hid her true name, Su Qianmo, and assumed another identity. She moved into the Ji family residence by pretending to be the Ji family's second daughter. She had two IDs and two identities.
