「In the house.」
Before Shen Jing closed the door to her room, she stepped back out, only half of her head visible. "Qiyan, I tried, but it doesn't seem like it will work."
Thus, Sun Qiyan had also tested her reaction.
She wasn't ready. An impending kiss had completely shattered her resolve to be with him.
Sun Qiyan had anticipated all this.
To him, security only came from keeping the person he liked firmly in his grasp.
"I've known from the beginning," Sun Qiyan added. "Don't dwell on what just happened. In front of you, sometimes I really can't control myself."
How uncontrollable? Even more so when he saw Zhou Luchen.
「That night.」
Zhou Luchen was at a dinner party hosted by Qiao Site.
It was a discreet banquet held at his family farm with few guests, all of them friends. The occasion was to entertain the president of United Bank, who was visiting from abroad.
A private dinner party where the credo was 'money equals power.'
