The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.

He Yun took a deep breath and froze, his hand, which was flipping through the documents, hanging in mid-air.

After a moment of silence, a deep voice, tinged with barely concealed tension, came from the other end of the phone.

"So, Miss Bai's 100th thing was to ask me to meet her."

He chuckled softly, trying to regain his usual lazy tone, but couldn't hide the tension in his voice.

"Miss Bai, have you arranged the time and place?"

Bai Yishu gripped her phone tightly, her palms sweating.

"8 PM tonight, Z Hotel, see you there."

After saying that, Bai Yishu quickly hung up the phone and threw it on the sofa next to her, her fingertips still trembling uncontrollably.

As He Yunshen listened to the busy tone on the phone, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and a flash of excitement crossed his eyes.

"interesting……"

He got up, picked up his suit jacket from the hanger, and gave instructions to his assistant as he put it on.

"Cancel all the remaining appointments for tonight."

He Yun Shen arrived at the hotel at the agreed time and knocked on the door according to the room number provided by Bai Yi Shu. His heart was beating unusually fast.

The moment the door opened, He Yun Shen's efforts to maintain his composure were shattered by the scene before him.

Warm yellow candlelight meandered along the French windowsill, the flickering glow of the candle wicks filling the entire room. Scattered rose petals stretched from the doorway to the bedside, radiating a hidden heat in the darkness.

The fragrance of flowers and the candlelight wafted over, and the moment He Yun Shen's gaze fell upon Bai Yi Shu, his mind went completely blank, and his voice became even lower and hoarseer than usual.

"Miss Bai, is this your 100th thing?"

He stepped into the room, closed the door behind him, and never took his eyes off Bai Yishu.

Bai Yishu wore a black lace slip dress. The thin fabric clung to her skin, outlining the sexy curves of her waist. The hem of the dress barely covered the edge of her thighs, revealing her straight and shapely legs.

Her skin glowed with a porcelain-white luster in the candlelight, and her fingertips unconsciously gripped the hem of her nightgown.

Do you like it?

Bai Yishu stepped forward, her fingertips trembling slightly as she took He Yunshen's large hand in hers.

"Miss Bai is quite an unexpected surprise."

He Yun Shen's body stiffened slightly. The fragrance of roses and Bai Yi Shu mingled and lingered, causing his mind to become momentarily confused.

He suppressed the flutter in his heart and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"But is this the 100th thing you think can move me?"

Bai Yishu's palms were sweating, and the unease in her heart was about to burst forth.

She looked up and met He Yun Shen's gaze, the same gaze that had made her lose control countless times, and mustered her courage.

"I'm giving myself to you... is that enough to move you?"

The temperature in He Yun Shen's eyes instantly dropped below zero, and he suddenly grabbed Bai Yi Shu's wrist.

"Bai Yishu, who do you think you are?"

He took half a step closer to Bai Yishu, casting her in his shadow.

"The 100th thing I want is your sincerity, not this kind of thing..."

He Yun Shen's gaze swept over Bai Yi Shu's nightgown, his Adam's apple bobbing as his tone grew increasingly cold.

"Cheap flattery."

He released Bai Yishu, took a half step back, and tried to keep his tone calm.

Do you know what you're doing?

Bai Yishu felt a sharp pain in her heart from his words, and her nose instantly stung with tears, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

"I know exactly what I'm doing. I like you, and I want to be with you."

He Yun Shen reached out and loosened his tie, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, before distancing himself from Bai Yi Shu.

"So you think this is the way to get me to be with you?"

"Are you belittling yourself, or are you testing my limits?"

Bai Yishu's breath hitched.

"What did you say?"

"I said, you shouldn't try to get me this way."

He Yun Shen walked to the window, regaining his usual elegance and composure, but his eyes turned a little colder.

"Miss Bai, I used to think you were different from those women."

He turned around, his gaze piercing Bai Yishu's heart like a knife.

"It seems I overestimated you."

He Yun Shen's icy gaze was like a vine wrapping around Bai Yi Shu's entire body, tightening around her until she couldn't breathe.

"Maybe……"

Bai Yishu remained silent for a moment, her eyes dim and lifeless.

"I have never thought of things as particularly special as Mr. He."

Upon hearing this, He Yun Shen's brows twitched slightly, and his hand in his trouser pocket clenched and unclenched in an instant.

"So all of this was a facade?"

He walked towards Bai Yishu, his leather shoes making a dull thud on the ground, looking down at her from his superior position.

"Was everything that happened before also a setup for today's scene?"

Bai Yishu remained silent, as past events flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, each one clearly etched in her memory.

She watched as her sincere heart was misinterpreted as having ulterior motives, and her carefully guarded expectations were shattered completely.

The candlelight in the room hurt her eyes, and the rose scent lingering in her nose turned into a sharp knife, rushing into her throat and piercing her already shattered heart.

She suddenly smiled.

"Yes, I just want to win."

"win?"

He Yun Shen remained outwardly calm, but his eyes grew increasingly cold and piercing.

"So, you pursued me for a year, did all that, just to win me over?"

He sneered and nodded slowly, his expression full of self-mockery and sarcasm.

"Miss Bai, you win."

He Yun Shen took out his phone, dialed a number, and gave the order in a cold tone.

"Prepare one million for Miss Bai, as a prize for winning this game."

Bai Yishu's face grew increasingly pale, her throat tightened, and she couldn't utter a single word of explanation.

"What's wrong, Miss Bai? Are you not satisfied with this number?"

He Yun Shen put his phone back in his pocket, took a step closer to Bai Yi Shu, and felt a sense of pleasure.

"Name your price. As long as I, He Yun Shen, can afford it, I'll give it to you."

He swept his contemptuous gaze over Bai Yishu's body.

"After all, for you, this is just a transaction, isn't it?"

A chill ran from Bai Yishu's feet to her entire body; she had never felt so embarrassed in front of anyone.

He Yun Shen's eyes, which had once captivated her, were now filled with indifference, and the undisguised contempt in them crushed her self-esteem.

Bai Yishu spoke softly.

"Unfortunately, the deal is over."

He Yun Shen felt a sudden tightness in his chest, but his face remained indifferent. He glanced at the roses and candles filling the room and spoke with a mocking tone.

"All this meticulous planning, and it's all coming to an end like this? Don't you feel it's a pity?"

He turned and walked toward the door, crushing the vibrant flower petals on the ground with his leather shoes, sending fragments flying everywhere.

"Fine, at least I've seen through this person."

"Take care, Mr. He."

He Yun Shen paused for a moment, his tall figure elongated in the candlelight, his voice almost inaudible.

"This year... I, He Yun Shen, misjudged people."

He turned the doorknob and walked out without looking back.

"Miss Bai, you'd better take care of yourself."
