At this moment, Xinran sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby, her hands feeling very cold, devoid of any warmth even when clasped together. She was waiting for someone, someone she did not wish to meet. However, if the world could be decided according to her wishes, things would be much easier.
Today marked the last day of the three days that Qi Shaokai had given Xinran. Initially, she had not made up her mind to accept his coercion, but after visiting her father in the hospital last night, she resolved to agree to Qi Shaokai's terms and go to bed with him in exchange for a 10% stake in the company.
Xinran had heard Qi Shaokai mention that her father seemed to have harmed his family in the past, which fueled his hatred towards her father and his desire to destroy Xia Sheng Group. She had intended to ask her father if he remembered any grievances between the Xia Family and the Qi Family, but instead, she found him alone in his hospital room, secretly wiping away tears. The sight nearly brought tears to Xinran's eyes as well.
In truth, her father was somewhat taciturn; even though he cared deeply for her, he rarely expressed it. When Xia Sheng was first established, it faced a near-collapse situation, yet her father persevered without uttering a word of worry. He only wanted to provide her with a solid foundation. She knew that because of Aunt's issues, her father felt guilty towards her. However, she had never blamed him; he was her only family. She often had to suppress her longing just to visit him because she did not want to be a constant source of concern.
She understood why her father cried in secret—his Xia Sheng Group had been taken from him. He had developed feelings for the old employees, but Qi Shaokai had already hinted at mass layoffs. She realized that Qi Shaokai said this intentionally for her benefit; his goal was to bring down Xia Sheng. She suspected that even without her involvement, he would still pursue this path. However, with her presence, she could use her body as leverage to delay the collapse of Xia Sheng Group.
It was merely a matter of sleeping with Qi Shaokai; there was nothing difficult about it. She was no longer an innocent woman; her first time had been laughable—thinking she was giving herself to someone who could bring happiness only to find out it meant nothing. Since this time she could gain something valuable in return, why should she refuse? It was all the same who she slept with; she had always been someone who could let go.
Jerry's words that night warmed her heart. She knew Jerry genuinely cared for her; he understood the heavy burden on her shoulders and recognized that she would inevitably bear the weight of the Xia Family. If Jerry knew how she planned to resolve this burden, he would surely be furious!
"You came after all; it seems my gamble wasn't misplaced!" Qi Shaokai approached Xinran, looking down at her as she sat on the sofa dressed in a black casual outfit with sunglasses covering most of her face. Despite her appearance, there was an alluring quality about her that continuously drew him in.
"Why not admit your shamelessness is quite extreme?" Xinran retorted coldly as she stood up.
"I admit I am shameless; however, as long as my desires are fulfilled, I don't care!" Qi Shaokai tightly wrapped one arm around Xinran's waist and led her toward the elevator. He had already booked a room and intended for her to submit beneath him tonight, moaning and begging for mercy.
He eagerly anticipated how enchanting such a beautiful face would look when lost in passion.
