Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

The alcohol was taking effect in his body, and the things Wei Jingwu had here were not clean.

Yu Shinan's face was sullen, and the light and shadow cast a somber shadow on his rugged face.

The dazzling lights outside the car window rushed into my mind, and the carefree and unrestrained pleasures of the past broke taboos and rushed into my mind.

The shabby taxi in front of me was twisted and deformed, making me feel like I was in a comfortable and high-end club, a paradise of bright lights and beautiful women.

Hallucinations and reality alternated, and the blood in my veins gurgled and boiled, shouting and throbbing with excitement.

His fists were clenched, veins bulging on the back of his hands, and his temples throbbed violently.

Yu Shinan gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke, and he cursed several times.

The driver glanced at the man in the rearview mirror a few times. The man was fierce and burly, and his overflowing violence made the driver's heart tighten, so he couldn't help but speed up.

Lin Yuanqing called Yu Shinan, her voice sweet and coquettish, "Shinan, haven't you arrived yet? Shall I go to your room and wait for you?"

The man seemed to chuckle. "All done washing, just wait."

His deep, hoarse voice was steeped in passion, and every word he uttered carried a warm glow.

A blatant invitation between mature men and women has nothing to do with shyness or embarrassment; it's about a mutually agreeable physical encounter.

He was not a clean man; he had an extremely absurd past after he grew up, and it was only after the Yu family fell from grace that he truly became down-to-earth.

He wasn't trying, but he was ultimately a healthy, mature man.

Lin Yuanqing hung up the phone, glanced at the girl in front of her, and smiled.

The laughter sounded like mockery, and Fu Sichen's fair face flushed red and then turned pale.

She just falsely claimed to have issued an imperial edict ordering Lin Yuanqing, who was waiting in the hall, to leave. Brother Nan didn't have time to play with her and wouldn't be coming over tonight.

Lin Yuanqing made a phone call to confirm.

Yu Shinan's words brought tears to Si Chen's eyes.

"Are you even an adult? You're thinking about men at such a young age?" Lin Yuanqing laughed, directly exposing her undisguised possessiveness. "Shi Nan only sees you as a little sister, right?"

The pretty and delicate young girl, untouched by the ways of the world, even her eyes are pure and innocent, making her already young appearance even younger.

However, even the most tender unripe fruit may not be fully ripe, and it will taste astringent when you bite into it; it may look nice, but it doesn't taste good.

Where can you find the delicious taste of ripe fruit? Take a bite, and the juice will burst out, sweet to the very core.

Fu Sichen's face was tense. "What we do is none of your business. Lin Yuanqing, didn't you go back to him after you got together with someone else? What are you doing back with him? Are you trying to take advantage of him now that he's alive again?! Have you no shame?"

Lin Yuanqing's expression was also unpleasant, but she still had some reservations about Fu Sichen, so she didn't say much.

Yu Shinan's capital for rebuilding his business came from Fu Jingting. Fu Sichen followed Yu Shinan like a little follower, and everyone at the Silver Bay Hotel knew her.

Even if Lin Yuanqing had a temper, she wouldn't dare to be blatant about it.

Fu Sichen has taken a liking to Yu Shinan, and Lin Yuanqing feels a sudden sense of crisis. She knows that Fu Sichen, such a young girl, is no match for her in trying to steal him away.

However, for men, regardless of whether it tastes good or not, the Fu family's background is far superior to that of the Lin family.

But they haven't started yet.

Then there's nothing to fear.

In the early years, Lin Yuanqing had fought with all the women around Yu Shinan, and none of them were less skilled than her. In the end, she wasn't the only one who stayed by Yu Shinan's side.

"Si Chen, we've reached the point where we need to discuss marriage. Neither of our families has said anything yet, so what gives you the right to say this to me?" Lin Yuanqing said calmly, displaying a well-mannered demeanor.

Finally, she bent down and leaned closer to Fu Sichen, "Little sister, do you know how to serve a man? Do you know what positions your brother Shi Nan likes?"

No matter how good Fu Sichen's mental fortitude was, he was still naive after all, and a few words from him made her turn pale with anger.

A girl who is completely clueless about relationships between men and women cannot say anything dirty or shameful.

Lin Yuanqing had already stood up straight, and the woman with permed hair swayed her hips as she went to the front desk to book a room.

The receptionist handed her the room key, and Fu Sichen glanced at her room number, his lips pressed tightly together.

Lin Yuanqing waved her room card, took the elevator, and sent her room number via voice message on her phone.

When Fu Sichen arrived at the Silver Bay Hotel, Lin Yuanqing was still sitting in the lobby. Nan Ge was in front of her and should have arrived much earlier.

He hasn't arrived yet, so has he left?!

A small flame flickered in her heart, but it was extinguished completely within minutes.

She didn't care before; she was too young to understand or manage.

But she's not young anymore, and she understands very well how she feels about Brother Nan.

He's almost thirty, and his family keeps pressuring him to get married. He's been on blind dates for a year now.

Fu Sichen desperately wanted to grow up, to grow up even more.

I don't want him to be with other women, I don't want him to date other women, I don't want him to flirt with other women, I don't want him to kiss other women...

Nan Ge treated her well, doted on her, and cooked for her.

She enjoys privileges that other women don't.

But her desire for him to kiss her and want her was as difficult as climbing to heaven. He strictly adhered to the boundaries between siblings, neither taking that step himself nor allowing her to take it.

He showed her his most serious and warm side, but he never used his unrestrained and dissolute ways on her.

But what Fu Sichen wanted was everything about him, all of it, including his terrible past that everyone kept hidden.

Once her eighteenth birthday passed, she was overjoyed. She had grown up and was now qualified to tell Nan Ge she loved him.

One day, in a moment of madness, she threw herself into his arms and kissed his cheek. He took it as just a little girl being affectionate and didn't think much of it.

Fu Sichen was frustrated by the indifferent look in her eyes. She had seen how her second brother looked at Qingcheng, with a fiery, murderous glare.

She had also seen Nan flirt with his blind date, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, the deep color in his eyes unmistakable.

But when I looked at her, she wasn't there.

If she takes a step forward, it becomes clear that he will take a big step forward as well.

Fu Sichen later learned that she was his sister, which was why he allowed her to freely enter and leave his territory.

Once she crosses the line, he will simply erect a transparent glass wall between them, depriving her of even the privileges of being a younger sister.

Fu Sichen never imagined that as they grew up, her taking one step forward and his taking two steps back would not only widen the distance between them but also erect an invisible barrier.

She could only carefully retreat to her original position, using time to bring him back to his original position as well, thus eliminating the barrier.

But then a change was discovered.

Nan Ge no longer hides his meetings with other women in front of her, whether it's for meals or other purposes.

Fu Sichen wiped away her tears and called Yu Shinan.

The phone rang. Yu Shinan glanced at it, frowned slightly, and saw a blur of white light before his eyes. He simply answered it.

"Brother Nan."

The little girl's voice sounded like she was crying, extremely aggrieved.

"Don't be with Lin Yuanqing. She's not good enough for you."

Yu Shinan leaned back in his chair, letting out a muffled chuckle. "Then who do you think your brother Nan is good enough for?"

Fu Sichen's voice choked in her throat; she didn't know what to say, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Are you home yet?" he asked.

"arrive."

"Take a shower, go to sleep."

As the two words left his throat, Yu Shinan seemed to see a delicate, fair body, with water droplets rolling on her skin and dripping down like cream.

With her hip-length hair spread out, he could imagine what that face looked like without even looking at it.

While eating, soup would drip from the corners of his mouth, and he would lick it all up with his little tongue.

She can seduce men without any makeup.

"Brother Nan."

Yu Shinan suddenly slammed the phone down.

"Brother Nan, do you really like Lin Yuanqing? You like her so much that you want to marry her?"

I heard a beeping sound in my ear; the call had ended.

Fu Sichen pursed his lips, his face blurred with tears.

Fuck!

The man swore.

The distance from Han Tang Tian Yuan to Yin Wan Hotel is more than half a city. Even late at night when there is no traffic, it still takes more than half an hour to drive there.

The combined effects of alcohol and medication fermented fully in my body during this time, and every bone, muscle, and blood was scorched by the heat, leaving my throat burning and dry.

The driver was driving very fast. Something was wrong with the passenger in the back. He was sitting in the back seat, not in a relaxed posture. He had been sitting like this since he answered a phone call halfway through the journey.

Arms resting on legs, hands hanging down inside knees, clenched into fists.

The shoulders and chest are open and there is a subtle sense of tension, as if the bones and muscles are stretched to their maximum tension, any more and they will break.

He lowered his head, and there was a faint sheen of sweat on his neck.

The driver turned the car's air conditioning up a notch, thinking it wasn't that hot.

"Sir, we've arrived."

Yu Shinan looked up and gazed through the car window at the four characters of Silver Bay Hotel. His eyes were bloodshot, and the strong, bright characters were distorted in his eyes. He closed his eyes tightly before speaking, "Go around to the back door from the front."

The sound was like it was pulled from the depths of a volcano, thick, hoarse, and brimming with uncontrollable heat.

The driver was startled by his raised eyes and, without saying a word, quickly did as he was told.

The car stopped, and he got out.

He strode out with long legs, placed his palms on the pillars, and the warmth of his palms seemed to absorb a layer of heat from the marble facade.

Yu Shinan hissed, his hazy consciousness filled with mockery. How much poison had he been given? It seemed that Wei Jingwu was getting old and useless, and needed this to seek stimulation.

He snorted coldly, forcefully suppressing the beast within his skin and bones. The days of arrogance and rage were long gone, even though he was not old.

At the narrow doorway of the back entrance, Yu Shinan kicked the wall hard. The towering building was not shaken at all, but his flamboyant ruthlessness still frightened the little girl next to him.

Fu Sichen squatted on the steps next to the marble columns, her eyes swollen from crying.

She already knew what was going to happen tonight, but she couldn't stop it.

If not today, then tomorrow, someday in the future, as long as the woman beside Brother Nan isn't her, there will definitely be someone like a thorn stuck in her heart.

She should leave, but no matter how close or far she goes, the thorn in her heart will not lessen.

The bright lights in the lobby illuminated her inescapable embarrassment, resentment, helplessness, and powerlessness, leaving nothing to hide.

She didn't want to stand in the light and be stared at by passersby, nor did she want to leave.

This dark back alley became her hiding place.

It wasn't particularly dirty or messy, but compared to the dazzling lights in front, it was enough for daily life.

The food is transported and unloaded from here.

Brother Nan liked to stand to one side, smoking and watching the vegetables delivered in the morning, as boxes of them were moved in one by one.

She once asked what was so interesting about it.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, smiled, and said, "Fresh."

There was dew on the vegetable leaves. The fish was alive.

The sounds of the vegetable vendors and kitchen workers straining as they unload the vegetables.

Simple. Vibrant. Energetic.

Fu Sichen covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound. This was the first time she had seen Nan Ge like this.

Violent and sinister, like a wolf in the night.

Yu Shinan paused for only a moment before the fingerprint lock on the back door opened, and he went inside.

While Fu Sichen was still in a daze, the door snapped shut and locked.

She realized what was happening and tried to open the door, but she couldn't.

His office, even his suite, were never guarded against her, but she didn't come to that place often; she could come out but couldn't go back in.

Fu Sichen took off running and ran until his heart ached.

I rushed into the elevator lobby, but there was no one there.

All I could see was the elevator climbing up floor by floor until it finally stopped.

Fu Sichen pressed the elevator button hard with his finger, pressing it frantically, as if that would stop the elevator from going up.

Stop.

Or, don't stay on that floor.

Unfortunately, reality was not what she expected.

stopped.

It stopped on the floor where Lin Yuanqing lived.

Fu Sichen waited for the elevator to come down, got in, and mechanically watched it rise and stop.

She went outside.

Fu Sichen heard Lin Yuanqing's room number. She was walking on a carpet that had a strong suction effect. Her white sneakers were already stained and no longer so white.

She walked towards Lin Yuanqing's room and stood at the door. The suite had excellent soundproofing, so she couldn't hear a single sound from inside.

The luxury suites on the top floor of the Silver Bay Hotel offer stunning views.

Limited quantities available, so they're in high demand.

However, the view from only one suite on this floor is not visible to others.

That was Yu Shinan's exclusive property, and she was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of his splendor.

Fu Sichen turned around and walked to the other end. Should she be glad that he didn't let Lin Yuanqing into his private space?

She entered the password and logged in.

The darkness that filled her eyes brought tears to her eyes again, but suddenly someone grabbed her arm and pulled her in violently.

So terrified that even the sound seemed stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Her body slammed into a solid, steaming chest. The strong smell of alcohol couldn't mask his unique odor. Before her heart could settle in after the shock, she was pinned against the wall.

Fu Sichen was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on, so he could only call out, "Brother Nan!"

As soon as the sound came out, the person behind him cursed loudly, and then covered his mouth.

The tone pierced straight to his bones, making him feel as if he were experiencing a severe auditory hallucination.

Her subtle fragrance was more pleasant than any perfume, like the aroma of freshly cooked rice—pure and addictive.

Yu Shinan's forehead twitched sharply. He lowered his voice and commanded, "Don't make a sound."

The light from outside the window cannot penetrate the darkness; wild animals roam; danger lurks, and tension rises.

Fu Sichen knew he must have mistaken someone for someone else.

Han Tang Tianyuan straddled the lines between black and white, his left hand black and his right hand white, only to be smeared into pure gray. Unable to extricate himself amidst the changing times, he became a ghost beneath one's feet.

Yu Shinan was well aware of all the tricks and schemes that could be used.

The trap set by Wei Jingwu was not the result of a staged accident.

But now, Yu Shinan doesn't have time to think about it anymore.

Reason prevailed, and his patience and resistance had reached their limit.

……

For a girl who has been pampered and protected since childhood, beauty has always been more important than anything else.

Her parents were loving and affectionate, her eldest brother and sister-in-law had a good relationship, and her second brother and sister Qingcheng finally had a happy ending. The relationship in front of her was so beautiful that it was enviable. The bitterness and pain behind it were lightly brushed aside in front of her.

Her longing for love consisted of stars and flowers, hugs and kisses.

I never imagined it would be like this.

The doorbell rang several times, but nothing ever came of it.

Lin Yuanqing returned to her room wrapped in a bathrobe.
