"I never expected that I could still sit here calmly with you after everything that has happened." In a very elegant and stylish café, Xinran looked at Qi Shaokai sitting across from her, one hand playing with the spoon while the other held the coffee cup.
"I can tell you really want to splash that coffee in my face right now!" Qi Shaokai smirked, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He stared intently at Xinran, his heart in turmoil.
At first, his intention in getting close to Xia Wenjing was purely for revenge, to reclaim everything Xia Mingda owed to the Qi family. He knew that with his identity and social status, he could easily lure the foolish Xia Wenjing into his trap. Ultimately, he obtained what he had vowed to get from her, but during the process of seeking revenge, one person almost changed his mind…
That person was Summer!
The first time he saw her, he guessed that her relationship with Xia Wenjing was not simple. After investigating, he learned about her identity but found himself appreciating her personality just a little.
The second time, he almost bumped into her. The dazed look on her face made him feel an uncharacteristic concern. However, his eagerness for revenge left him little room to think about anything else. He had considered using her to provoke jealousy in Xia Wenjing but ultimately abandoned that plan.
The third time was at the opening party of Sky Media. That night, she was stunningly beautiful, almost becoming the center of attention. His gaze would unconsciously fall on her, but before he could talk to her, she vanished.
The fourth time was at the hospital. This meeting was actually premeditated; he knew she would go to visit Xia Mingda and followed her there. He hadn't anticipated that Xia Wenjing would keep entangling him, but thanks to Xia Wenjing's interference, he clarified his own feelings—he wanted Summer; he wanted her very much!
He understood that he couldn't be careless now. Although the Xia Sheng Group was firmly in his grasp, he couldn't let his guard down. He had to remain vigilant against the Xia family trying to reclaim what was in his hands. Even if he believed there was no one left in the Xia family who could rival him, he couldn't underestimate them. Didn't Summer say she wanted him to kneel before her and return what he took from the Xia family?
However, even if she was his enemy, it wouldn't affect his desire to have her. He could achieve both goals; this was why he invited her to the café today!
"It seems you have some self-awareness. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. I'm busy and don't have time to waste with you!" Xinran continued stirring her coffee coldly.
"I think what I'm about to say will interest you, no matter how busy you are."
"Not necessarily!" Xinran scoffed at Qi Shaokai. She had already hired a private investigator to look into his background, but it seemed he was intent on hiding everything about his past. The information the investigator provided was of little use, and she couldn't understand why he harbored such deep resentment towards the Xia Family.
"Oh really? I wonder if the shares of the Xia Sheng Group fall within that 'not necessarily' category?"
"What do you mean by that?" Upon hearing Qi Shaokai mention shares, Xinran's expression immediately turned serious. She should have guessed he would use the shares to blackmail her into doing something. Perhaps he had already investigated her thoroughly and knew she didn't care about those shares, but her father cared immensely.
A conspiratorial glint flashed in Qi Shaokai's eyes, sending a shiver down Xinran's spine. She even began to wonder if he had any leverage over her that he could use as a bargaining chip for his threats.
"My meaning is quite simple. If you agree to my terms, I will transfer 10% of the shares to you!"
"You want me?" Xinran's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
"It's quite clear: sleep with me and exchange your body for shares." Qi Shaokai casually picked up his coffee cup and took a light sip.
"Shameless!" After understanding his terms, Xinran felt amused. Did this man think of her as Xia Wenjing?
"I'll give you time to consider it. I'm waiting for your answer—three days. I'm not very patient; if I don't hear from you after three days, just watch the financial news!" With that, Qi Shaokai stood up and left.
"You bastard!" Xinran also stood up. She had to maintain her celebrity status and couldn't curse him out loud, but in reality, she wanted nothing more than to punch him a few times!
