She had thought she would fall to the ground, but surprisingly, she fell into a pair of warm and solid arms.
The man emanated a strong and aggressive chill that tightly enveloped her.
Rong Shengsheng's heart inexplicably sped up as she reluctantly looked up and met the man's dark and deep peach blossom eyes, which were like a deep pool that made one unable to resist diving in.
Li Hanxian frowned with disgust, his face hidden in darkness brimming with impatience.
He had seen too many women take advantage of a situation to throw themselves into his arms.
"Aren't you going to get off me already?!"
Startled by Li Hanxian's voice, Rong Shengsheng broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly stood up, and said with her head lowered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li..."
It was a relief that she was wearing a mask. If Li Hanxian discovered it was her again, she probably wouldn't live to see the sun the next day.
As Rong Shengsheng walked past Li Hanxian in her ten-centimeter-high heels, she accidentally stumbled over his foot and once again fell hard.
This time, even though she braced herself with her hands on the sofa, it was no good.
She ended up kissing Li Hanxian's lips directly.
The moment their lips touched, her mind went blank as she stared dazedly at the man in front of her.
Li Hanxian also paused for a second, this kiss... why did it feel so familiar?
The woman who had stirred his heart five years ago had this same taste.
He raised his hand to hold Rong Shengsheng's head, unable to resist deepening the kiss.
The man was domineering, robbing her of all her breath.
Rong Shengsheng nearly couldn't breathe, felt weak all over, and collapsed weakly into his arms as if sinking into a swamp.
Suddenly, his large hand rested on her leg, the scorching touch snapping her to attention.
What was Li Hanxian trying to do?
He couldn't possibly be... about to take her right in front of Yu Jin Qing, could he?
"Slap—"
She decisively slapped Li Hanxian and said, "Please, have some self-respect!"
Li Hanxian was completely bewildered by the slap, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, his forehead veins bulging, and turned to look.
The woman scrambled out the door in disarray, revealing a scythe-like black birthmark on her smooth back.
Rong Wanwan??
What was she doing here?
In that moment, he held his breath, his pupils trembling sharply as he got up to chase after her. But Rong Shengsheng ran too fast, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Yu Jin Qing, who had been watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but sigh as he sipped his red wine, "This is the first time I've seen you lose your composure over a woman."
Li Hanxian frowned and glanced outside the door again, "What's that woman's name?"
"Gu Yanyan, the top dancer at the Mei Se nightspot, and a good friend of mine."
"Gu Yanyan..." Li Hanxian murmured the name, the image of the woman's birthmark on her back unconsciously floating into his mind.
Logically, wasn't that birthmark supposed to be on Rong Wanwan's back?
Yu Jin Qing smiled roguishly, "Old Li, are you interested? Since we're brothers, I'll reluctantly cede her to you."
Li Hanxian recalled the woman's scent, his abdomen burning once more. He unbuttoned his shirt, drank a glass of red wine, and barely managed to suppress the surge of irritability and anger.
This woman felt exactly the same as the one from five years ago.
To resolve his doubts, he took out his phone and made a call to Rong Wanwan, "Where are you?"
"Hanxian, why are you asking that?"
"I just saw someone who looks a lot like you."
"Oh my, are you missing me? Then come see me tonight."
Li Hanxian's mood soured upon hearing Rong Wanwan's soft and affected voice, and his voice became even colder as he stressed, "Where exactly are you?"
"I... I am, of course, at home. Where else could I be this late at night?"
"I see,"
Without waiting for Rong Wanwan to say another word, Li Hanxian hung up the phone.
It seems that the birthmark on Gu Yanyan's back looks exactly like Rong Wanwan's.
Although it's a bit of a coincidence, it's not impossible.
Just...
Why can Gu Yanyan give him such a similar feeling??
Rong Shengsheng, who had run out, had been hiding in the corner all along, not daring to come out. She waited until Li Hanxian and Yu Jinqing had settled the bill and left before she slightly relaxed.
She thought she was done for after slapping Li Hanxian earlier this evening.
She really didn't expect him to let it go...
He was quite generous.
After seeing off two guests who couldn't be offended, Lu Ya came over with a beaming smile, "You did a good job tonight, here's your reward."
Holding the heavy 50,000 yuan, Rong Shengsheng immediately felt at ease, and then she asked, "Can I come again tomorrow night?"
She really needed the money to pay off her debts.
50,000 for one night was indeed too tempting.
"Yanyan will be back tomorrow night, so we won't need you to serve the guests then. If you're willing, you can come work here, but you'll only get 500 per night," Lu Ya explained.
500 compared to 50,000 was a huge gap.
However, Rong Shengsheng wasn't picky, she would take any job as long as it paid.
"Alright, I'm willing."
"Write down your contact information here, so we can easily reach you."
Rong Shengsheng nodded, picked up the pen, and quickly wrote down her phone number.
Having earned 50,000 in one night, Rong Shengsheng returned home happily.
At that moment, the house was pitch-dark, not a sound to be heard.
She turned on the light, and there on the soft, clean bed, Miaomiao and Qinqin were sleeping soundly, their clean faces flushed like a cluster of clouds.
A cute bubble was forming from Miaomiao's nose.
Her heart melted in an instant, and she leaned down to kiss Miaomiao and Qinqin on their faces.
Then she also took off her clothes, went to the bathroom to freshen up, lifted the covers, and gently lay on the bed, holding the two adorable little treasures in her arms, falling into a deep slumber.
Feast Group.
Rong Shengsheng started cleaning at the company at eight o'clock.
Her job today was to clean the top-floor office.
The luxurious office building was immaculate everywhere.
Employees in suits hurriedly walked past her, exuding confidence and competence.
She couldn't help but envy them. When would she become one of Feast Group's top perfumers??
The elevator door opened.
Rong Shengsheng, dragging her mop, looked up to see Li Hanxian's cold and handsome face. He was flanked by several executives, his presence dominating and imposing.
Seeing Li Hanxian, she couldn't help but recall the passionate kiss from last night, and her heart started beating faster.
Zhou Kuan, seeing this, scolded her, "What are you standing there for! Didn't you see Mr. Li has arrived? Move aside quickly!"
Rong Shengsheng immediately snapped back to her senses, "I'm sorry..."
She moved away with her mop, which accidentally swept over Li Hanxian's shoe.
The previously shiny leather shoe was instantly smeared with dust and dirty water.
Rong Shengsheng inhaled sharply, "Mr. Li, I didn't mean to, I'll clean it up right away."
