King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

At that moment... I was completely stunned!

Hong Man's graceful figure was fully revealed under the thin gauze nightgown. I felt my blood vessels throbbing and my breathing quickening... I couldn't even tell if what I was seeing was reality or a dream!

Am I asleep?

Is this a dream... or reality?

However, it was only when the cigarette butt burned my finger that I fully regained my senses... This is reality, and Hongman has arrived!

But... why did she do that?

Could it be that she was also affected by Song Huayao's incense?

But... Song Huayao's incense doesn't seem to work on women, does it?

Why didn't she get poisoned when she held my hand before?

"Hong... Hongman, what brings you here?" I quickly stubbed out my cigarette and asked in surprise.

"puff!"

Hongman didn't say anything, but walked over to me, sat on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile, "What? You're not happy to see me?"

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant..."

I stubbed out my cigarette in the ashtray on the bedside table, awkwardly lowering my head, not daring to look at her...

But it was precisely because of this that I noticed... what was underneath that thin layer of nightgown was something I shouldn't have seen!

"Uh... Hongman, aren't you going to rest? And... why are you dressed like that?" I asked with a sigh.

"Young Master...aren't you having trouble sleeping too?"

Hongman smiled and said, "To ensure your safety at all times, I've installed cameras in this room..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, my heart skipped a beat!

"You're tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep... Is the medicine still working?" Hongman asked with a smile.

"No...no, I didn't..."

I quickly tried to deny it, my gaze immediately shifting to the floor... I said awkwardly, "Hongman, please don't do this... I... I'm so sorry!"

"Sorry to me? Pfft!"

Hongman smiled gently: "Is just saying sorry enough?"

"what?"

My face flushed, and I looked at her nervously: "Then... then what do you suggest we do? I really..."

Hongman didn't say anything, but instead raised her hand and touched my forehead, looking at me with concern, "It's all sweaty!"

"Well......"

"Young Master!"

Hongman took off her pajamas, took my arm, and said gently, "Go to sleep, I'll sleep with you..."

"Hongman, I..."

"Enough! You hypocrite!"

After saying that, Hongman hugged me and pushed me down onto the bed...

Although the matter was somewhat absurd... it even completely overturned my previous impression of Redman!

But reality is reality... and sometimes it doesn't need a reason when it happens!

I completely dropped my pretense, embraced Hongman, and fell in love with her...

Because of her long-term training, Hongman has a thin but firm body, unlike ordinary women who have fleshy bodies that can be grabbed by the hand!

And she had so much energy... She kept me up until dawn before she finally stopped!

After a passionate encounter... we both lay exhausted on the bed...

Even now, I still can't believe it: Hongman actually threw herself into my arms, and even wore this kind of nightgown.

Where did she get these pajamas from?

Is that her work uniform for carrying out a "special mission"?

And... what was her real purpose in "suddenly" coming over in the middle of the night?

Do you want to be my woman too?

While this is logically reasonable... it doesn't seem to fit Hongman's personality!

Her personality is always characterized by prioritizing rationality and work!

She helped us out in an emergency before, and that should be a "secret" between us, never to be mentioned again!

But... the actual development of events was completely different from what I imagined and predicted!

If Hongman also wants to be my woman, then how can she be my bodyguard?

When I'm "on a date" with someone else, and she's waiting at the door, how can I not be jealous?

If she gets jealous, will she still be able to work properly for me in the future?

As the old saying goes... women and petty men are the hardest to deal with! If they are disrespectful to those nearby, they will cause resentment to those far away!

If you get close to her, she won't respect you; if you distance yourself from her, she'll resent you... She's the most difficult to please!

Suddenly, I started to worry...

"Young Master... what's wrong? Aren't you sleepy yet?"

Hongman rested her chin on my chest, looking at me with a mischievous grin and asked.

"Uh... Hongman, I... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..."

Don't worry!

Hongman sighed softly: "I don't need you to take responsibility. Before I came... I had already taken the medicine, so I won't get pregnant with your child."

"Well......"

Her words shocked me even more. I blinked and looked at her incredulously: "Sister Man, that's not what I meant. Don't overthink it. I just feel that taking advantage of someone in distress is unethical! I will take responsibility for you..."

"Pfft! How will you take responsibility? Marry me?" Hongman asked with a laugh.

"Well......"

"puff!"

Seeing my embarrassed expression, Hongman's nails lightly brushed across my chest again, and she said meaningfully, "Don't worry, I won't marry you. In fact... I will never get married in this lifetime."

"what?"

I looked at Hongman in surprise: "Sister Man... I, I feel... I'm quite dizzy. To be honest, I can't tell if what I'm seeing is reality or a dream!"

"hehe!"

Hongman looked up at me tenderly, and said meaningfully, "If you can, just treat it as a dream..."

"Uh... but that's not fair to you."

"Pfft! That's not fair..."

Hongman hugged me tighter: "Young Master... then what do you think is fair? Giving me money and shares, is that fair? If so... what's the difference between that and doing business? I'm not the one being sold."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!"

I waved my hands repeatedly and said, "I just feel like I took advantage of you..."

"snort!"

Hongman sneered, "You're overcomplicating things! I came to see you... simply because I missed you, is that so wrong? It was my initiative, don't blame yourself!"

"Um... Sister Man, can I ask you a question?"

I gently placed my hand on her back, stroking the deep scar, and asked thoughtfully, "What happened here?"

"Oh!"

Hongman looked up and smiled, "Why are you so curious? Do you want to know everything?"

"Uh... I think..."

I swallowed hard and said, "I don't know what you're thinking, but to me, every woman I've ever had a close relationship with is considered my lover. I feel sorry for you... so I want to know."

"puff!"

Hongman shrugged and said with a wry smile, "Don't treat me like your woman, I'm just your bodyguard..."

"Well......"

Her words left me speechless!

"All right!"

Hongman laughed and said, "Since... I already know so many of your secrets, it would be a loss for you if I didn't let you know some of mine... This scar on my back was inflicted by my stepfather!"

"What? Your stepfather?"

"Um!"

Hongman nodded: "When I was 12, my stepfather tried to rape me... I fought with him and stabbed him in the thigh with scissors. He then grabbed a knife and slashed my back... I almost died that time..."

"Hiss~!"

Hearing Hongman's words, my heart skipped a beat! Goosebumps rose all over my body!

"My mom... divorced my dad when I was 7 years old..."

Hongman took a cigarette from my pack, lit it, took a light puff, and pondered, "Then, she went to America and married a foreigner. At first, the foreigner was a decent person, but gradually... his true nature was revealed. He beat my mother every day... When I was 12 years old, he saw that I had my period and wanted to hurt me..."

Hongman took another deep drag on her cigarette, flicked off the ash, and said, "Later, he still succeeded and took my virginity... I swore then and there that I would kill him when I grew up!"

As Hongman said this, a venomous, cold glint flashed in her eyes!

"Then what......"

"Heh! And then?"

Hongman smiled bitterly, "Then, I didn't succeed. He went to prison and died there a few years later... So I went to military academy and became a special forces soldier... Because I witnessed so many family tragedies growing up, I have a strong aversion to marriage, so... Don't judge me by the standards of Chinese people. I sleep with you because I have my own needs, nothing else!"

She had barely finished speaking when hurried footsteps suddenly echoed in the hallway outside the door...
