After a day of work, Ning Xingchen prepared to drive his Ferrari back to his villa at Junting Kaixuan.
As he sped down the road in his supercar, Ning Xingchen attracted envious glances from countless onlookers. A group of broke guys kept dreaming about when they could be as rich as Ning Xingchen, imagining that a wave of their hand would bring beauties flocking to them.
Taking a puff of his cigarette, Ning Xingchen stopped at a red light at an intersection and noticed a long-haired beauty in a sky-blue dress approaching, clearly drawn by the luxurious Ferrari.
"Hey handsome, can you give me a ride?" the sexy beauty asked sweetly with a smile.
"Where are you headed? I need to see if it's on my way," Ning Xingchen responded coolly, glancing at the young woman. She was quite pretty, with captivating almond-shaped eyes and an overall seductive demeanor, not seeming like a respectable woman.
"Junting Kaixuan," she announced proudly, immediately becoming haughty at the mention of those four words.
"Are you trying to come home with me?" Ning Xingchen chuckled, surprised that their destinations were the same.
"Wow, you live in Junting Kaixuan too? What a coincidence," the beauty replied in a sweet, coquettish tone, her charm skills top-notch.
"Get in, maybe you're even my neighbor," Ning Xingchen said, having no reason to refuse such a forward beauty.
"Maybe!" The beauty happily opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
"Hold on tight," Ning Xingchen said with a mischievous smile. The woman's every move was provocative, practically screaming "take me now."
Many onlookers sighed as they saw the beauty getting into the luxury car, remarking that the wealthy always ended up together and that every goddess had a rich man behind her, proving that beautiful women belonged to the rich.
The beauty carefully sized up Ning Xingchen, this young and handsome man, not only rich but also elegant and distinguished, clearly a wealthy second generation, making her heart flutter.
"Hey handsome, my name is Chen Rong. What's your name?"
"Ning Xingchen."
"What a nice name. You must be destined for great things," Chen Rong complimented him flatteringly.
"Not bad. I run a small business, making a few billion a year," Ning Xingchen glanced at Chen Rong, noting her luxurious attire, all high-end brands, indicating she wasn't poor.
"Wow, that's amazing! You must be a super-rich young master," Chen Rong batted her eyelashes at Ning Xingchen.
"Chen Miss, you seem wealthy too. Why didn't you drive today?" Ning Xingchen asked meaningfully, unable to ignore her ample chest.
"Don't mention it. Some idiot in a BMW wrecked my Porsche earlier, and it's in the shop now," Chen Rong said angrily, recalling the incident. Actually, her poor driving skills had led to three accidents in a month.
"I see. Be more careful next time."
"Thanks for your concern, Xingchen," Chen Rong said, placing her delicate hand on Ning Xingchen's thigh.
"If you ever run into this problem again, just call me. I'll drive you home anytime," Ning Xingchen said, not minding the intimate contact, starting to play with Chen Rong's hand.
Chen Rong, in essence, was a restless woman from a wealthy family, unsatisfied with her life. Facing a balding middle-aged husband daily, she yearned for the thrill of a handsome, wealthy young man occasionally.
"Chen Miss, your skin is really nice," Ning Xingchen remarked as Chen Rong became bolder.
"Nice skin is useless without someone who truly cares," Chen Rong pouted.
"Where's your husband?" Ning Xingchen asked.
"Don't mention him. He's a three-second wonder, and I can't wait to kick him off the bed," Chen Rong said disdainfully.
"Three seconds? I might need an hour," Ning Xingchen smiled broadly.
"Really?" Chen Rong seemed excited.
"Try and see," Ning Xingchen said, steering the car to a more secluded spot.
By the time they reached Junting Kaixuan, it was completely dark, and it took Ning Xingchen almost two hours to get there.
As they arrived at the villa, Chen Rong adjusted her clothes before getting out of the car, startled to see someone standing at the door.
"Car broke again? My dad's money can't keep up with your spending," a young girl said coldly, glaring at the woman barely older than herself, filled with frustration.
"None of your business! Your dad willingly buys me a new car every month, what's it to you?" Chen Rong snapped back, always at odds with this girl.
"Zhou Sitong?" Ning Xingchen was surprised to recognize the voice from the bar. It was his junior from school.
Hearing her name called, Zhou Sitong approached, surprised to see Ning Xingchen. "Senior, it's you?"
"What a coincidence meeting again," Ning Xingchen said, not expecting Chen Rong and Zhou Sitong to live in the same villa area.
Seeing Zhou Sitong talking to Ning Xingchen, Chen Rong quickly ran inside to avoid her husband noticing anything suspicious.
"Senior, why are you with that bitch Chen Rong?" Zhou Sitong asked curiously.
"Ahem, I'm working part-time as a ride-share driver and picked up her fare," Ning Xingchen coughed, explaining.
"Oh, I see. That's why she got out of your car," Zhou Sitong said, naively believing Ning Xingchen's excuse. The idea of a Ferrari owner driving for a ride-share service was absurd, but she bought it.
"Senior, do you live nearby?" Zhou Sitong seemed downcast, as if something was bothering her.
"Yes, I live in Junting Kaixuan," Ning Xingchen replied, looking at the pretty girl.
"Senior, can I stay at your place tonight? I can't stand being home, especially seeing Chen Rong," Zhou Sitong pleaded with her big, watery eyes.
"Sure, but will your family be okay with it?" Ning Xingchen asked calmly, wondering if he'd get lucky again tonight.
"My dad doesn't care about me, only his business," Zhou Sitong complained.
"Alright, but first tell me, what's your relationship with Chen Rong?" Ning Xingchen asked, puzzled by her hatred towards Chen Rong.
"She's my stepmother, my dad's new wife," Zhou Sitong sighed.
