Deep Fog Kiss

Stepping out of Buyun Pavilion, the dark sky outside was dotted with stars, and the moon hung high, casting its silvery light upon the ground.

A sudden evening breeze blew, gently lifting Jiang Li's long, curly hair that fell down her back.

Perhaps it was the cold wind, but she suddenly felt a little drunk and her head felt heavy.

It's hard to get a taxi halfway up the mountain at night, and the price is more than ten times higher than usual.

While waiting for orders to be received, a black Maybach with an arrogant license plate drove out of the VIP passage of the garage.

Jiang Li looked over and saw that the all-black luxury car was like a king inspecting his territory, exuding an aura of supreme wealth and power, as well as an unapproachable sense of oppression.

The luxury car stopped in front of her, the door opened, and Yin Ming got out and walked directly towards her.

He nodded slightly, his attitude respectful. "Miss, the boss wants you to get in the car."

Jiang Li glanced at the back seat with the windows closed, but couldn't see anyone inside; she could only see the dark car window.

As if deliberately being stubborn, she looked down and tapped her phone screen a few times, increasing the price tenfold.

"No need, I've already taken a taxi."

Inside the car's back seat, the man had prominent eyebrows and a handsome face devoid of emotion as he glanced through the car window at the girl standing beside him.

Her long, curly hair fell loosely, outlining her delicate facial features. She had a slender figure, and her white skirt fluttered slightly.

She stood there straight, her bright red lips moving slightly, seemingly saying something to Yin Ming, without moving an inch.

It's like a living stake.

Jiang Li's phone displayed the words "Driver has accepted the order." She smiled and showed her phone to Yin Ming, indicating that she had successfully hailed a ride.

Without saying a word, Yin Ming strode towards the black Maybach and gently knocked on the window.

The black rear window, which was tightly closed, was lowered to a gap of about two fingers.

The car was dark inside, and from Jiang Li's perspective, there was nothing to see except complete darkness.

After seeing Yin Ming report the situation, Jiang Li got into the car, and then the back window was closed.

The whole process was swift and efficient.

Jiang Li felt a tightness in her chest and a throbbing pain in her temples.

She looked away and turned her head away from the black car.

However, the other party showed no intention of driving away.

The black luxury car stood silently in the night.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Li arrived in a taxi.

As the taxi drove away from Buyun Pavilion, the black Maybach behind it slowly started moving.

The Maybach moved at a steady pace, following closely behind Jiang Li's taxi.

As Jiang Li sat in the back seat of the taxi, she felt her head growing heavier and heavier.

She opened the car window, and the cool evening breeze blew in, finally dispelling the heavy feeling in her heart.

She rested her elbow on the car window, gently supporting her cheek.

Bright eyes caught sight of the arrogant license plate number in the rearview mirror.

Her lips curved slightly, her gaze remaining fixed on the black car in the rearview mirror.

......

The black Maybach drove at a steady speed along the neon-lit road.

The carriage was silent and cold. The man's sharp gaze fell directly on the window of the car in front of him through the window. In his deep eyes, he saw a girl's slender, white wrist sticking out of the window.

A sparkling bracelet on her wrist reflected the light, making her hands appear even whiter and more delicate.

"Have you found out?"

He parted his thin lips slightly, his voice clear and cold.

"Yes, boss."

Yin Ming drove steadily and replied, "Yaojie Building Materials Co., Ltd. is a company under Miss Li's uncle Xiang Yaojie. In recent years, it has cooperated closely with Tang's Real Estate. The fundamental purpose of this marriage between the two companies is also for business cooperation."

"Originally, Tang Lin's marriage partner was Xiang Yaojie's daughter, Xiang Xinyao. Two years ago, Xiang Yaojie found out that Miss Li was studying abroad, so he went abroad to find her. For some reason, Miss Li agreed to the Xiang family and accepted the marriage in place of Xiang Xinyao."

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly turned cold, and the temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

Yin Ming glanced at the man's face in the back seat through the rearview mirror. The man's cold face remained expressionless, but the atmosphere around him suddenly became tense.

"What about the wedding date?"

"It's not decided yet." Yin Ming explained the situation truthfully. "Today, the Xiang and Tang families were discussing the engagement in the Wangshan Pavilion private room of Buyun Tower, but Tang Lin's lover suddenly appeared and disrupted the meeting, so the wedding date was put on hold."

As he finished speaking, Gu Zhishen subtly curled the corners of his lips, his deep and captivating gaze fixed firmly on the vehicle in front of him.

The girl didn't move, her long hair blowing back in the wind.

Even though they were only two cars apart, her long hair, billowing in the wind, seemed to hook onto the man's fingertips.

......

The taxi stopped in front of the hotel.

Jiang Li got out of the car, glanced at the black Maybach following closely behind, and turned to enter the hotel lobby.

I was just about to go to the elevator when the receptionist called me back.

"Miss Jiang."

The receptionist apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, but there was a sudden electrical fault in your room. We've already contacted a technician to come and repair it urgently, so I'm afraid you won't be able to check in tonight."

Jiang Li's mind went blank for a moment. "What about the other rooms? Can't we just change to another one?"

The apology on the front desk was even more pronounced. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Jiang, all the other rooms are already full."

In other words, it's past 9 PM now, and Jiang Li needs to change hotels.

She nodded, didn't make things difficult for the receptionist, and went upstairs to get her luggage.

The receptionist watched her retreating figure, puzzled. There was clearly no problem with Ms. Jiang's room, and the hotel was not full, but the manager suddenly called and asked her to convey this message to Ms. Jiang.

She took a deep breath, thankfully this Miss Jiang wasn't a difficult customer.

Five minutes later, Jiang Li pulled her suitcase downstairs to check out.

After completing the formalities, I arrived at the hotel entrance and immediately spotted the conspicuous Maybach.

It stood majestically in the night, bathed in the lights of the hotel.

The rear window rolled down, and a voice colder than the evening breeze came from inside the car.

"Jiang Li, get in the car."

A cold, hard command, brooking no refusal.

Jiang Li had spent ten years with Gu Zhishen and knew his temperament well.

If he gets really angry, the consequences will be severe.

Jiang Li knew when to stop, so she pushed her luggage in front of Yin Ming, opened the door, and got into the car.

"Uncle."

She smiled sweetly, revealing her dimples.

The scent of alcohol emanating from her body spread throughout the cold, austere carriage.

Gu Zhishen stared at her delicate face, her fair complexion flushed pink, and said in a cool voice, "Annecel the engagement with Tang Lin."

Jiang Li was suddenly startled, not expecting him to say something like that right off the bat.

"Why?" she blurted out.

The vehicle starts and travels at a constant speed.

The atmosphere in the back seat was tense. Yin Ming pressed down the partition to block the view and sound from the back seat.

"What do you see in him?"

The man's lips curled slightly, and his straightforward gaze met Jiang Li's slightly surprised look.

When their eyes met, his deep pupils had a magical power that drew people in.

Jiang Li's bright eyes reflected the man's sharp and cold features, every line of which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Yes, having seen a man like Gu Zhishen who has top-tier power, status, and looks, how could she possibly be interested in other men?

After thinking it over, Jiang Li smiled and said, "He's young. He's the same age as me, and we're the same age, so we have things in common."

"Oh?"

The man chuckled, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "Sleeping with someone and not taking responsibility, is that considered common ground?"

His cool voice sent a shiver down Jiang Li's spine; it seemed that every word he spoke was directed at her, even though he didn't mention her personally.

Perhaps it was the alcohol, or perhaps she was a little angry, but Jiang Li's breathing became heavy, and she stubbornly uttered, "Mind your own business."

The man looked at her clear face with a hint of stubbornness, then looked away.

"You're from my Gu family, after all. I'm ashamed of you."
