At midnight in South City, the lights were brilliant, especially at the landmark Huan Ya Hotel which can be compared to a resplendent pearl in the night sky.
At this moment, there was also a man overlooking the city in a luxurious presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.
"How long do you plan to stand here?" He said with a slightly teasing tone.
I took a deep breath. For the first time in my 25 years of life, I was nervous! Because of this man!
Before entering this door, I said to myself, "Su Jinnian, this man is yours! He's perfect to the point of being amazing, yes, but you're not bad either! The men you met in the elevator were all stunned by your beauty!"
With that in mind, I instantly felt much more relaxed. I put my curly wavy hair to my chest and moved closer to him!
When I was over a meter away from him, I grabbed the goblet of wine he had drunk and took a sip. The slightly astringent wine slid down my throat and cheered me up.
I hugged the man tightly from behind. He smelled like bergamot, making me feel refreshed!
I had thought that a dazzling, painting-like man like him would use rich cologne, but he surprised me!
I felt his warmth. My heart almost rose to my throat. Who was Pei Yufan? He was the man standing at the top of South City. So if I wanted such a man, I definitely couldn't use the most ordinary method.
I bit my lips and finally said, "Pei Yufan, marry me!" There was a tremor in my voice.
He turned around and pinched my chin with his slender fingers. His gaze was slightly cold. "The reason?"
Under his burning gaze, I almost lost the courage, but my pride didn't allow me to take half a step back! I tried my best to hide my nervousness. "I'm the perfect match for you!"
Pei Yufan didn't say anything more, but he loosened his hand. I felt the warmth on my chin lingering for a long time.
I didn't dare to speak rashly. I had rehearsed the scene countless times in my heart.
I had anticipated many kinds of reactions from him. He might be indifferent, negative, ironic, and he might even let me get lost. But none of my anticipations was true. He looked at me but didn't say a word.
What was he thinking?
After a while, he chuckled, and his deep facial features suddenly become gentle. "Su Jinnian, you're very smart."
I knew what he wanted, and I had chips!
Huan Ya's resort project was located in the western suburbs. The best piece of land in the suburbs was bought by my father several years ago.
Because of his vision, Su Corporation had become an upstart of South City in recent years. My brother and I also became the most-coveted singletons in South City.
I felt that compared to Pei Yufan's fiancée, Xu Ziyue, I was a better choice, both in terms of family background and personal qualifications. Besides, I liked Pei Yufan, which was important.
He stroked my cheeks. His fingers wrapped around my hair, and the fragrance of wine swept across my face. I felt a trace of scorching heat.
His lips drew closer to me, and I closed my eyes nervously.
I had thought he would do something to me, but, no. He drifted away from me in an instant, and a burst of cold air swept over. I opened my eyes. I could not understand this man.
After a while, he curled his lips and said, "Try to go out barefoot. Don't make any noise." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.
I was anxious, feeling like something was wrong in the middle, "Your answer?"
The answer was the sound of the door closing, as well as the faint figure behind the bathroom glass. I think I saw a smooth-shaped figure and...
"Then as you wish." His voice suddenly sounded.
After getting the answer I wanted, I finally let out a sigh of relief and silently walked out of the room.
As I passed the long corridor, I couldn't help but glance at the mirror. This face, the corners of my eyes, and the tips of my eyebrows were all filled with shy joy. I was going to get married!
I had thought this was a good start. But many years later, I realized that there was no warmth in Pei Yufan's smile. And this good start in my eyes changed my life ever since.
