After Su Wanwan used the restroom, she felt extremely lightheaded, and her vision was blurry.
She managed to find the doorknob and stepped out, only to find a person sitting on the sofa.
Could it be Weiyi?
She walked over unconsciously. Just as she was about to reach him, she tripped on a looming carpet, her foot slipped, and she fell forward.
The expected pain did not come.
She smelled a faint scent of tobacco, intertwined with the rich aroma of red wine.
Su Wanwan forced her eyes open and looked towards the scent, spotting a glass of red wine on the table.
“Want a drink?” a man’s resonant low voice asked, sounding so gentle as if he were hypnotizing her.
Su Wanwan nodded blankly.
Then, that glass of red wine was brought before her eyes.
The fragrance was overwhelming.
Desperate, Su Wanwan moved towards it, but before she could reach it, Huo Jingshen took the wine glass back. He then finished the wine in one gulp right in front of her.
Su Wanwan:”…”
What was wrong with this man?
Su Wanwan stared at him expectantly, her innocent eyes full of grievance.
Huo Jingshen looked at her, his eyes gradually narrowing.
In his thirty years of life, he has been surrounded by many excellent and beautiful women of all kinds, but none have piqued his interest.
Because of his high ideals and unbending discipline, he had been single for so many years, which led his friends to make fun of him, suspecting that there was a problem he couldn’t speak of.
Sometimes, he had his doubts as well.
Everything turned around when he met Su Wanwan that day at the airport.
In just half a day, she, for two times, could easily stir up all his emotions.
Today at the hospital, she was like an irresistibly seductive little demon.
Though her tactics were clumsy – so clumsy it could be described as “pathetic” – he couldn’t stop thinking about her.
He held her chin and looked closely at her.
She had a perfect oval-shaped face, delicate and tiny, with delicate features. She had light makeup on, and added with the effect of alcohol, her eyes looked foggy, so innocent yet so seductive.
She was still young, but her eyes were unexpectedly charming, enough to fascinate someone inevitably.
Especially the mole under her right eyelid, small, yet an icing on the cake.
In his career, he had invested in asset investment for nearly ten years and backed numerous profitable projects. Could it be that now, he was really considering investing his energy into a girl?
Huo Jingshen asked, “Go upstairs?”
Su Wanwan didn’t respond.
But for him, her silence was no different from an agreement.
Without any hesitation, Huo Jingshen quickly got up and led her away.

Meanwhile.
Mo Weiyi finally returned from his phone call, only to find an empty room.
No one was in the restroom or the corridor.
Could she have gone home?
But that was impossible. Leaving without saying goodbye was not Su Wanwan’s style.
There were no clues left in the room. Mo Weiyi had no choice but to wait, but as time trickled by, he called the Su Family’s house, and heard from the servants that Su Wanwan hadn’t returned home…
Mo Weiyi could no longer sit still. He rushed out and began to search every private room along the corridor.
Soon, the whole sixth floor was in chaos, with disgruntled voices echoing around.
When Mo Weiyi opened the door and awkwardly faced the men and women inside, a flurry of footsteps came from behind.
“Miss Mo.”
It was the manager of the club along with a few security guards.
He bowed and smiled apologetically at the customers, but as soon as the door closed, his face turned sour, “Miss Mo, we’ve received complaints about your unauthorized intrusions into private rooms. What do you say…”
“What’s wrong with me looking for someone? My friend is lost!” Mo Weiyi said, turning around to open the door opposite, but was blocked by a security guard. “Get out of the way!”
“Miss Mo, you know the rules. Please don’t put us in a difficult position.” The manager was in cold sweat.
He couldn’t offend the heiress of the Mo Family, nor could he inconvenience so many customers.
A guard blocked the way and Mo Weiyi felt the urge to cry.
The club had only been in Nancheng for over a year. With its massive investment and prime location catering to high-end consumers, it quickly became a trendsetter among Nancheng’s hottest nightlife spots.
She liked coming here in secret, not only because of the reasons above, but also because it was not a property owned by the Mo Family — without their informants around, she was less likely to be discovered by Xiao Yebai.
But right now, she regretted it deeply.
She was Mo Weiyi, the Little Princess of the Mo Family, recognized by nearly everyone in Nancheng. Yet Su Wanwan had just returned to the country and was known to few. It was possible that someone with bad intentions had taken her, who was so beautiful…
The ones frequenting here were wealthy second and third-generation youngsters. She may not have been involved in their plays, but that didn’t mean she was unaware of them. She had prevented Su Wanwan from drinking with this consideration in mind. But now, her friend was lost.
The more Mo Weiyi thought about it, the more worried and scared she became….
