Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Darling

Yu Mei felt a strange thrill run through her at the thought of this man, a cold and seemingly indifferent force, now standing in her domain.

She recalled the rumors of Yu Holea breaking down in public after the engagement was annulled.

But Qiao Jun had remained unshaken, untouched by the emotional storm around him.

His calmness, in contrast to Yu Holea's devastation, had made the news a sensation.

As her mind whirred with possibilities, a thought took root in her mind. What if I could have him?

Yu Mei's lips curled into a subtle smile.

She knew Qiao Jun was far more influential—and richer—than Leng Huan. Leng Huan, with all his wealth, was still only a stepping stone but Qiao Jun… was someone who could give her everything she wanted and more.

Yu Mei took a slow step forward, her movements fluid and graceful as she allowed her charm to seep into her demeanor.
