Li Rouxi sat on a bench next to the flower. bushes by the swimming pool, making a video call with her daughter.
"Mommy, you are so beautiful today, like a fairy." Fei saw that Li Rouxi was particularly beautiful today and her eyes were filled with surprise.
My baby girl's mouth must be smeared with honey.
"Mommy, are there a lot of handsome uncles at the banquet?"
The little angel held up her pink cheeks lightly with both hands and blinked her big curious eyes. Li Rouxi suddenly had a bad feeling in her gut.
"Mommy, I'm not trying to criticize you. You should take this opportunity to find someone rich and handsome so you can marry into a wealthy family. Then you'll be in a better position and you don't have to work so hard anymore." Fei began to help her mother plan out his life.
"Plus, you don't know how to take care of yourself. I can't control what you do anyway, so it's better to find a husband to take care of you."
"..." Li Rouxi was amused as she listened to her daughter speak like a little adult. "It's enough for mommy to have you. You can take care of mommy when you grow up."
She really didn't think about a relationship. She just wanted to make more money while she was young, so she and her daughter would have something to rely on in the future.
"Mommy, I will marry the eldest brother of Burning Boys in the future, so I won't have time to take care of you." Fei gave Li Rouxi the cold-shoulder.
Fei was a fan of the Burning Boys group. She liked the Kim Taehyung among the Seven the most. She was a hardcore fan.
"..." Li Rouxi did not know what to say. "Then you can take care of me together."
"No, brother Taehyung has a lot of work to do. He's very busy and works very hard." Fei refused without hesitation.
"..." Was this her biological daughter?
"Mommy, I'm going to watch brother Taehyung's show, don't forget to find a husband." Fei sent a kiss across the screen and disappeared.
Li Rouxi smiled, only her daughter could make her smile from her heart.
The swimming pool was surrounded by trees and bamboos, and it was very quiet.
She looked up to admire the deep night sky. The scattered stars in the middle of the night were shining and charming like diamonds.
"Are you Li Rouxi?" Suddenly, a terrifying voice came, breaking the rare tranquility.
Li Rouxi opened her eyes and saw a beautiful woman two meters away.
A white flat-shoulder dress elongated. Her Knight to the Rescue slender body, but the anger on her face destroyed the beauty of her body.
"Does this young lady need anything?" Li Rouxi stood up gracefully and calmly.
"Do you know who I am?" The woman asked arrogantly.
"Does this have anything to do with me?" Li Rouxi asked gently.
"..." The woman didn't get the response she wanted, and her expression instantly turned very ugly.
The woman gritted her teeth unwillingly. "I know Wang Yuxuan and Nyle Feng. Don't you want to know what my relationship is with them?"
"Sorry, I'm really not interested." Li Rouxi chose to turn away as the woman provoked her for no reason.
She turned and walked away gracefully.
The woman stepped forward to block her way and stated her identity.
"I am Zhou Qing, the daughter of City Beijing, Zhou family. I call Wang Yuxuan my brother and Nyle Feng my boyfriend. Please behave yourself, Miss Li."
"Mr. Nyle and I are only cooperating for a project."
"You little designers use work as an excuse and are the best at using the opportunity to find a man and marry into a rich family." Zhou Qing scoffed with a laugh, looking down on women like them.
"Then let Mr. Nyle come to explain to Miss Zhou." Li Rouxi took out her mobile phone to call Nyle Feng.
"You think I would give you the chance to complain!" Zhou Qing no longer smiled and slapped Li Rouxi's face.
Li Rouxi was not afraid. She became even calmer and raised his hand to hold Qing wrist.
"Miss Zhou, there is a line to being unreasonable!" Li Rouxi said in a deep tone.
Zhou Qing was stunned by Li Rouxi's sharp eyes, but she was unwilling to let go.
When she withdrew her right hand forcibly, her left hand reached out to Li Rouxi secretly and pushed her hard.
Behind Li Rouxi was the swimming pool. As she lost her balance and fell straight back, she grabbed Zhou Qing hand and dragged her down together.
Thump!
A splash and ripples cut the pool's surface.
Wang Yuxuan, who was heading over, heard the loud sound of people falling into water.
He speeded up his steps and came to the swimming pool. With the soft light from the edge of the pool, he saw Li Rouxi and Zhou Qing, who had both fallen into the water, struggled in the pool.
"Brother Wang Yuxuan, save me..." Zhou Qing noticed Wang Yuxuan standing by the pool.
With a cold face, Wang Yuxuan quickly took off his suit jacket and black leather shoes. With an elegant dive that drew a graceful parabola in the air, he fell into the water.
He was like a sailfish slashing through the waves. Zhou Qing smiled triumphantly at Wang Yuxuan, who was swimming towards her.
But Wang Yuxuan swam to Li Rouxi's side, grabbed her long arms, and held onto her slender waist. "Hold onto me."
His eyes were deeper and darker than the night.
Li Rouxi put her arms around his neck lightly. As they became close, she could feel the firm muscle under his shirt and his masculine strength.
In the night of early spring, the water in the pool was very cold, and he was scorching hot, staining her pale pink cheeks with colour.
After getting on the ground, Li Rouxi consciously let go and backed away, keeping her distance. "Thank you, Mr. Wang Yuxuan."
Wang Yuxuan looked at Li Rouxi, who was soaked in water, and saw that she as elegant and pure like a lotus. Her watery apricot eyes looked tender and delicate.
Her close-fitting dress was moist and semi-permeable, drawing out her graceful curves. He didn't expect that a thin and tall woman like her would have the curves - thin waist, white skin, and long legs.
Seeing her cherry lips turn blue, he picked up the suit jacket on the ground and put it on her shoulders..
His gentleness and considerateness made Li Rouxi feel complicated. She didn't know how to face him.
"Are you okay?" Wang Yuxuan raised his hand and brushed off the excess water on his dark hair.
"Yeah." Li Rouxi nodded lightly.
Seeing Li Rouxi easily get Wang Yuxuan attention and thinking that Wang Yuxuan didn't spare her a single glance, Zhou Qing was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"Brother Wang Yuxuan, save me... Ah, I'm choking..." Zhou Qing yelled, trying to attract Wang Yuxuan's attention.
"I don't have a sister." Wang Yuxuan's eyes fell on Zhou Qing, who was struggling on the water. His eyes were deep and cold. "You dare to pretend to be my sister. Can you handle the consequences?"
Zhou Qing felt despair spread from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head.
"Mr....Wang. This woman not only seduced Nyle Feng, but she also wanted to get close to you. You can't be fooled by this woman."
Wang Yuxuan ignored Zhou Qing slander. Instead, he spoke to Li Rouxi. "Let's go."
They didn't take more than a few steps before they ran into a security guard. "Someone fell into the water. You know what to do."
***
Nyle Feng didn't have any interest in staying anymore. He left the banquet and called Wang Yuxuan as soon as he got in the car.
"How is Li Rouxi? Is she okay?"
Wang Yuxuan called and told him that Li Rouxi was being "bullied" by Zhao Qing.
He had tolerated with Zhou Qing for a long time, and this time it was a lesson for her.
"Very good." Wang Yuxuan glanced at Li Rouxi, who sat in the back seat. She was wiping her wet hair with a towel.
"You send her back to the hotel-"
"That's all. I'm hanging up."
Wang Yuxuan ended the call, not giving Nyle Feng a chance to care about Li Rouxi.
Li Rouxi's wet hair lay lazily like seaweed, making her skin appear white as snow. Clear and translucent pupils, lanceted eyebrows, slender eyelashes trembling, delicate lips slightly open like rose petals, mole underlips charming but not self-aware.
Li Rouxi saw that Wang Yuxuan had finished the call before she spoke. "Mr. Wang, this road doesn't look like it heads to Four Seasons Hotel... If you are busy, I'll take a cab back to the hotel."
"Miss Li is here to talk about cooperation?" Wang Yuxuan turned his gaze, his eyes naturally falling on Li Rouxi's face.
"Yes." Li Rouxi pursed her lips slightly and nodded.
"As far as I know, there are many companies that came to WG Group to discuss about cooperating on City Beijing Theater. TJ Group is just one of them, and even though it has certain advantages, the decision maker of the project is still me." Wang Yuxuan chatted naturally but his tone was suggestive, making Li Rouxi feel more pressure.
What did he mean? Was he going to do things to her? What kind of beauty hadn't he seen? He should not be able to pique his interest, right?
"If Miss Li is here to talk about cooperation, shouldn't it be me who should be the target to please? Now this opportunity is placed in front of Miss Li. Miss Li is unmoved, why?" He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and looked at her for an instant.
Li Rouxi tried her best to meet his gaze, determined to keep her face calm and calm.
"Mr. Wang, I...
Wang Yuxuan put his fingers on her thin lips and made a shush gesture, motioning her not to speak.
"Let me guess."
Li Rouxi's heart was gripped by that uneasy feeling. Getting along with Wang Yuxuan was nothing short of torture, driving her crazy, but she dared not offend him.
"Miss Li has a boyfriend?"
Li Rouxi shook her head. How could she have any mood and time to get a boyfriend.
"Then... she is married and has a husband."
Li Rouxi was startled. Her beautiful eyes lightly opened.
Only Mr. Yao and her friend Xuan Lu knew about her marriage. There couldn't be a third person.
How did Wang Yuxuan guess right?
It was just a contractual marriage, not considered a real marriage. After three months, three years of time would be up, and they would get divorced and become free again.
Should she admit it or not?
Li Rouxi's mind was chaotic. Wang Yuxuan was very close to her at this time, and the car was filled with his aura - the kind of faint, nice-smelling ocean-like freshness, restrained, but ubiquitous.
It reminded Li Rouxi of the night five years ago, when she was crushed on the bed by this seemingly indifferent but passionate man, who tossed around that she almost fell apart. She had only endured such craziness once in her life.
Before she knew it, her fair face was dyed with a light blush, and her ears were hot.
How could she think of that? Besides, the protagonist was right by her side, how could she think about it.
Wang Yuxuan also noticed her strangeness. Her white skin was pink and moist, her eyebrows were lowered, she was pure and gentle, inexplicably making people want to pamper her.
"Is it hot?" Wang Yuxuan's voice at this moment sounded seducing.
Li Rouxi shook her head quickly to stop her thoughts from running wildly and changed the subject. "Mr. Wang, please stop the car."
Wang Yuxuan did not seem to have heard her request and continued with the sensitive topic. "Miss Li has not answered my question. Are you married and do you have a husband?"
