The implication was all too clear.
Nan Wan didn't move, neither rejecting nor welcoming.
He was the youngest son of the Su Family, a notorious playboy, able to make those men make way for him without lifting a finger.
"What time is it?"
Su Zhengyu glanced at the time on his wrist, his large hand quietly moving downward, his eyes oozing wicked charm, "Ten o'clock."
"It's quite late," Nan Wan lifted her head, brushed off the hand that had slipped to her waist, got up, and walked outside.
Su Zhengyu tilted his head back and downed the drink in his glass, then chased after her, this time directly pulling her into his arms.
With one hand propped against the wall and the other encircling the woman's waist, trapping her in a confined space, "I spent two hours with you, shouldn't I get a little interest in return?"
Her intoxicated eyes, flushed cheeks, warm and soft body, and sweet scent were all the ultimate temptation.
After regaining her footing, Nan Wan lifted her hand to pull up the neckline that had slipped past her shoulder, speaking calmly, "I'm not interested in you."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengyu raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, and approached her ear, a sneering taunt curling around his lips, "Someone like you, I can get a line of people just with a crook of my finger, waiting to sleep with me. Where do you get the pride to pretend in front of me?"
A woman who cheated just half a year after marrying, already infamous, why pretend to be a good girl?
"You're absolutely right," Nan Wan nodded, laughing lightly, gently pushing away the face that was so close, "But I just happen not to be interested in you."
Su Zhengyu's expression suddenly changed, gripping her chin tightly, "Ignoring kindness when it's given, huh?"
Nan Wan lifted her hand to brush away the man's hand, took a step back, twirling a strand of hair lazily, "Why don't you try touching me?"
Watching the captivating and alluring smile on Nan Wan, Su Zhengyu secretly calculated; the cooperation between the Su Family and the Nan Family was crucial, and the contract wasn't finalized yet, so he couldn't fail now.
Even though, without Nan Ze's backing, the third Miss of the Nan Family, Nan Wan, was just an ant he could easily crush, she was still a daughter of the Nan Family, and Nan Chengzhi would surely care about the family's reputation.
His dark eyes followed the retreating figure, interest growing ever stronger.
One of his buddies looped an arm around his neck and punched him teasingly, "Wow, Young Master Su actually failed this time, a rare sight indeed."
Su Zhengyu withdrew his gaze and headed towards the dance floor, a mischievous smile on his face, "It's all the same, whether sooner or later."

Winter in Qing City arrived later than in other cities.
Even late at night, the city remained bustling, neon lights along the road flashing vibrantly, casting colorful halos in the night sky.
When Nan Wan walked out of the bar, she regretted not bringing Lu Li's coat, as the weather had turned very cold, a biting air hitting her face and making her shiver involuntarily.
The alcohol began to ferment, her mind growing hazier, as if countless ants were crawling inside her.
After walking for about ten minutes, Nan Wan saw her face on the big screen in front of a tall building.
A conspicuous headline at the bottom: The third Miss of the Nan Family involved in an affair, leading to a broken marriage after half a year.
