"Ranran, this time only you can save the Mu Corporation!"

"Uncle Liu was indebted to your mom, no one is more suitable to meet him than you."

"Remember, you must make him sign the contract. When Mu Corporation recovers, your brother will be saved! Even if it's your father begging you..."

Mu Xinran stood at the suite door on the eighth floor of the Hilton hotel, the words from her father still echoing in her ears.

She took a deep breath, ready to knock on the door.

Before she could even touch the door, the slightly ajar door creaked open a little.

Could it be that Uncle Liu had been waiting for her inside?

Mu Xinran hesitated for a moment, then gathered her courage to walk in.

She had just entered the living room when she abruptly heard the sound of water from the bedroom.

A suppressed voice of pain rang out, "Come in!"

A subconscious feeling told her that something was off.

But just thinking of the struggling Mu Corporation and her brother who was still in the hospital, she hesitated for three seconds, then headed towards the bedroom.

"Uncle Liu, is that you?"

Before Mu Xinran could finish her words, suddenly a strong hand pulled her into the bathroom.

It was a man.

A young man, his entire being filled with icy rage, stands before you.

With one hand, he clenches the throat of Mu Xinran, his voice choking with suppressed pain, "Dare to drug me, seeking death!"

Facing such a formidable, such a dangerous man, Mu Xinran could not find the strength to fight back.

She shook her head in panic, "It wasn't me, you've got the wrong person, I wasn't coming to find you... I may, I may have entered the wrong room..."

"Entered the wrong room? What a lame excuse!"

In the darkness, the man glared at her fiercely.

His breathing got heavier and heavier, until he seemed like he was at his limit.

Suddenly, he pulled her by the back of her neck and forcefully planted a kiss.

This kiss, frosty and domineering!

It frightened Mu Xinran to the point of opening her eyes wide.

"Bastard! I told you, you've got the wrong person!"

She immediately lifted her leg and kicked towards the man.

But the man's reaction was faster, he used his long leg to pin her knee and hoarsely said, "I don't care who you're working for, it's too late for regrets now!"

"Hmm!"

Her mouth was sealed.

The man's presence instantly enveloped all her senses, and before she could even process her thoughts, he had already taken her, refusing to be denied, down into the abyss...

She lost track of time until —

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

The sudden ring of the telephone brought Mu Xinran back to reality, causing her to sit up reflexively.

"Hiss—"

When she moved, it invoked all her senses, her discomfort causing her to frown.

Click!

With her trembling little hand, Mu Xinran turned on the bedside lamp.

With a stiff neck, she turned her head: a handsome face appeared within her line of sight.

This face seemed like God's masterpiece, so charming and impeccable.

Just a while ago, this scoundrel had taken away her precious first time!

She was both embarrassed and furious. How could she, who had always maintained her purity, commit such a reckless act?

Just as she was seething with anger and preparing to call the police, the previously silenced telephone again started ringing.

The handsome guy's long eyelashes fluttered, his eyebrows furrowing in displeasure. It seemed like he was about to wake up.

Remembering his ferocity from earlier and fearing that he might repeat his actions once he woke up, Mu Xinran hurriedly gathered her clothes, slipping them on as she made a beeline for the door.

However, just as she was about to touch the door, seemingly thinking of something, her eyes whirled and she quietly retraced her steps.

She returned to the bedside, staring blankly at a face handsome enough to cause resentment.

After a while, she half-knelt by the bed, "You jackass, how dare you take advantage of me? I'll show you."

She reached out her sinful hand toward the man on the bed.

The blanket was pulled back, his wheat-colored, muscular body completely exposed to her view.

Barely glancing at him, Mu Xinran's face was already flushed to the point of bleeding.

The gauze on his chest had been stained red.

This bastard clearly had wounds, yet he had no qualms about making her suffer, and even his wound had begun to bleed!

She raised her phone, closed her eyes, and hastily snapped a few shots of the man's muscular body.

Only after putting away her phone did she take the corner of the blanket and re-cover him.

Before leaving, she murmured, “Harboring ill intentions towards others should be avoided, but one must always guard against them! If you dare to falsely accuse me, don't blame me for making you lose face.”

With that, she quickly slipped out of the presidential suite.

After the tumultuous events of last night, Mu Xinran walked awkwardly as she left the hotel.

By the time she returned to her apartment by taxi, Mu Xinran was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to lift her fingers. After giving herself a quick rinse, she collapsed into bed and fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept until the gradually darkening sky and the ring of a phone call finally awoke Mu Xinran.

"Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling!"

Mo Xinran forces her heavy eyelids open, not even bothering to check the caller ID before fumbling to pick up the phone.

Just as she presses the answer button, a thunderous roar echoes from the other end, "Mo Xinran, have you lost your mind?"

The earth-shattering roar instantly jolts Mo Xinran awake, she subconsciously glances at her phone, a name popping up, “Mo Nancheng”.

She bites her lip, her voice somewhat embarrassed, "Dad—"

"Don't call me 'Dad', I have no daughter like you. I told you to coax Uncle Liu into signing the contract, and instead you blew him off? He's furious now. If the investment falls through, so does the new project of Mo Group. Remember, if anything happens to Mo Group, your brother's medical fees will go down the drain. Are you trying to harm your own brother?"

Mo Xinran clenches her teeth, "Dad, there was... an accident today..."

"What accident could possibly be more important than the contract of Mo Group or your brother's life? Xinran, I've always known that Uncle Liu has feelings for you. Why not seize this opportunity to settle your marriage? Probably, Uncle Liu's temper would also cool down!"

With a buzzing sound, Mo Xinran's head goes blank. "Engagement? Is that vixen whispering into your ears again? I'm your biological daughter, you want me to get engaged with a man older than you, are you trying to sell your daughter off? You can stop dreaming. I will never agree!"

As soon as he hears the word "vixen", Mo Nancheng explodes, "What vixen? That's your mother!"

Mo Xinran laughs coldly, "My mother died three years ago."

"You... I don't have time for this nonsense. I warn you, if you can't persuade Uncle Liu this time around, I will cut off your brother's medical funds."

Mo Xinran's eyes widen in disbelief, her voice trembling, "Mo Nancheng, that's your own son!"

"That's also your own brother! If Mo Group goes under, who will pay the medical bills of 300,000 a month? Mo Xinran, you can't be this selfish! I'm warning you. In three days, if I don't get the contract signed by Uncle Liu, I will immediately stop your brother's medical expenses. I mean what I say! Beep beep—"
