After becoming invincible after descending the mountain, the aloof and beautiful CEO couldn't s

Moonlight spilled through the woods on the outskirts of the city, its silvery glow like water, silent and still.

Shen Qingci's movements carried a resolute determination, yet were also mixed with the awkwardness and clumsiness of a young girl.

She leaned down, her red lips close to Su Hao's ear, her breath carrying the slight intoxication of red wine and a hint of trembling: "Do it, don't let me regret it."

Su Hao's eyes darkened, but he did not push her away.

His hand slowly rose and landed on Shen Qingci's slender waist, the warmth from his palm making her tremble slightly.

"Are you really sure?" Su Hao's voice was low, a probing question tinged with the last vestige of reason.

Shen Qingci didn't answer, but lowered her head and kissed his lips.

The kiss was initially awkward, tinged with nervousness and uncertainty.

But soon, as if she were pouring out all the loneliness and resentment that had accumulated over the past twenty years, she became passionate and frantic.

The air inside the car gradually warmed up.

Moonlight streamed through the car window, illuminating two intertwined figures.

The chairs were reclined, and clothes were scattered haphazardly to the side.

Shen Qingci's hair was loose and spread out on the leather seat. Her eyes glistened in the dim light, whether from tears or sweat, it was hard to tell.

In the cramped carriage, only their rapid breathing and suppressed moans could be heard.

After an unknown amount of time, everything returned to calm.

Shen Qingci was curled up in the passenger seat, her black skirt already crumpled up. She barely covered herself with her coat, her cheeks flushed, and her breathing was not yet fully calm.

Su Hao leaned back in the driver's seat, his clothes disheveled, and turned his head to look at her.

Under the moonlight, Shen Qingci's features seemed softer than before, and her originally pale cheeks regained a healthy glow.

How are you feeling?

Shen Qingci was silent for a moment, her voice a little hoarse, but with a rare hint of relaxation: "It seems... not so cold anymore."

Su Hao reached out and pulled up the hem of her dress that had slipped down.

"This is just the beginning. You'll need to take care of this at key times every month. It will be completely resolved after three sessions."

Shen Qingci nodded slightly, rested her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes.

Outside the car window, the moonlight remained bright, and the breeze through the woods carried away the enchanting and restless atmosphere of the previous moment.

There's something I want to tell you.

Su Hao asked in return, "What is it?"

"It's about the Dragon Maid," Shen Qingci began to recount.

Su Hao was deeply moved after hearing this.

He never expected that his senior sister would have left him with such a trick up her sleeve.

"But I don't want to be a dragon maid." Shen Qingci took a deep breath.

Su Hao was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"I don't want to stay by your side as a servant; I need a title," Shen Qingci said, each word distinct and resolute in her eyes.

Su Hao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You'll have to ask my wife about this."

"Your wife?" Shen Qingci was taken aback.

"You're already married?"

"Not yet, but I have a fiancée named Li Qiuchan," Su Hao said frankly.

Shen Qingci breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to his face: "She's just a fiancée, so there's still a chance. Don't worry, I'll talk to Li Qiuchan privately. We'll always find a way to resolve the issue of our official status."

Seeing her confident expression, Su Hao didn't say anything more.

Just then, Shen Qingci's phone rang.

She glanced at the screen and answered the phone: "Yes, it's me... tonight's banquet... Okay, I understand, I'll be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingci's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"What's wrong?" Su Hao asked.

"There's a birthday party tonight, and the host is Zhang Tianhu." Shen Qingci put down her phone, her tone tinged with worry.

"He has been pursuing me relentlessly and has repeatedly used business tactics to suppress the Shen Group. He will definitely take this opportunity to make trouble at tonight's banquet."

Su Hao frowned slightly: "Zhang Tianhu? You mean the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Society?"

"Yes, you've heard of him?"

"More than that, I also have a grudge against him," Su Hao said bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci looked up, a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Then can you come with me?"

Looking at her expectant eyes, Su Hao replied without hesitation, "Of course I'll go. Anyone who dares to have designs on my people needs to be taught a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci's face blossomed into a radiant smile, like the first melting of ice and snow, and the blooming of spring flowers.

......

At 8 p.m., Yunlu Mountain Villa was brightly lit.

A black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up in front of the convention center. The door opened, and Shen Qingci, arm in arm with Su Hao, got out of the car.

She made a special trip back to the Shen family, wearing a moon-white fishtail dress that was well-tailored and accentuated her perfect figure.

Her long hair was styled in an updo, revealing her swan-like, slender neck. She wore a pair of pearl earrings on her earlobes, which gleamed warmly under the light.

She possesses an elegant demeanor, like a fairy under the moon.

Su Hao, standing beside her, was only wearing a simple black suit, but the calm and composed aura he exuded was in no way inferior to any of the celebrities present.

The two walked into the banquet hall side by side, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Isn't that the genius painter Shen Qingci? She looks so beautiful today!"

"Strange, who's that guy next to her? I've never seen him before!"

"Who doesn't know that Shen Qingci is the woman Tiger Brother has his eye on? This is like daring to mess with a powerful figure, courting death!"

......

Discussions rose and fell.

In the crowd, a burly, middle-aged man with a face full of scars turned grim the moment he saw Shen Qingci enter arm in arm with Su Hao.

He is Zhang Tianhu, the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Society, a prominent figure in Nanjing's underworld, who monopolizes most of Nanjing's bars, entertainment venues, and gray industries. He is a ruthless character that no one in Nanjing dares to mess with.

Zhang Tianhu arrived early tonight specifically to wait for Shen Qingci.

He originally thought that under his business suppression and power intimidation, Shen Qingci would eventually compromise and obediently fall into his arms.

But he never expected that Shen Qingci would appear arm in arm with another man tonight!

Moreover, this man is actually Su Hao!

This bastard swindled two million from his brother before, and he was planning to deal with him personally and give Zhao Kai an explanation, but he didn't expect this guy to deliver himself to his door.

"Hey, Tiger, isn't that the eldest daughter of the Shen family? What's she doing here with another man? I thought she'd be yours sooner or later. Looks like I was overthinking it."

A lean man with a goatee walked slowly to Zhang Tianhu's side, holding a wine glass, and deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone that only the two of them could hear.

His name is Tian Yi, one of the candidates for the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Society, and he has been fighting openly and covertly with Zhang Tianhu for many years.

If his trusted confidant hadn't betrayed him and sided with Zhang Tianhu back then, he wouldn't have allowed Zhang Tianhu to enjoy such glory.

Zhang Tianhu's expression turned even uglier.

He knew Tian Yi was deliberately provoking him, but he still couldn't suppress his anger. He put down his wine glass and strode towards Shen Qingci and Su Hao.

All eyes in the room followed his every move.

Everyone knew Zhang Tianhu's feelings for Shen Qingci, and they all knew that tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful, so they all left Su Hao's vicinity.

Zhang Tianhu walked up to the two men, stopped, and fixed his gaze on Su Hao with a sharp, piercing look. His voice was low and threatening: "You've got some nerve. I haven't even settled accounts with you, and you still dare to come after me and try to seduce my woman. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Su Hao met Zhang Tianhu's murderous gaze, his tone as casual as if discussing the weather: "Your woman? I have no idea when Miss Shen became your woman?"

"Stop playing dumb with me!" Zhang Tianhu's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

"Let me tell you, in this small corner of Nanjing, I have hundreds of ways to make sure you don't live past tonight. If you know what's good for you, get out of here now, and I can make your death less painful."

Su Hao looked at him and suddenly laughed: "Little tiger, you've got quite the nerve."

These three words were like a needle, piercing Zhang Tianhu's sore spot.

"You fucking want to die!" Zhang Tianhu roared, waving his hand in fury.

"Get them!"

A dozen or so thugs in black behind him responded to his call and pounced on Su Hao like wolves.

However, before the thugs could get close, Su Hao made his move first.

His movements were so fast they were almost invisible.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and the next second, Su Hao's hand had already grabbed Zhang Tianhu's neck, lifting him into the air.

Zhang Tianhu, who weighs over 150 pounds, was being lifted into the air by Su Hao with one hand, his feet off the ground, his face flushed red from suffocation.

He tried to pry Su Hao's fingers open with both hands, but it was like trying to pry them open with iron clamps; they wouldn't budge.

"Zhang Tianhu, is that it? I suggest you take a good look at your own capabilities before threatening people!"
