CHAPTER 20: CHAPTER 20: AN NAN WAS DRUGGED

If she dares to trouble An Nan in the future, he will definitely not let her go. If necessary, he will force the Huo Family to throw her out of the country, leaving her to fend for herself. He, Xi Shaoqi, has never been a good person, and he will make sure she truly realizes that.

With his determination firmed, Xi Shaoqi stopped looking around and happily cut the cake.

As the cake was cut, a group of young people went completely wild with excitement.

If possible, Lin Mubai would also prefer to take things slowly, but he desired this woman too much. To ensure no one else takes the lead, he must possess this woman first, only then can he be at ease, so he shouldn’t be blamed. If blame is to be given, it’s only because this little woman is too alluring.

As soon as the cake was cut, An Nan found a secluded corner to hide in, holding a glass of champagne and watching the chaos in the room, minding her own business.

There was another person doing the same, Lin Mubai, who had been standing in the corner from the beginning, closely observing An Nan’s every move. It could be said that his target tonight was this woman. Previously, the distance between them was a bit too far, preventing him from observing her closely. Now that he looked closely, he noticed that her delicate skin showed no pores at all. Her entire face, without any makeup, was more beautiful than any other woman here. It was a kind of beauty that made one feel inherently comfortable, a comfort he had never experienced in his twenty-five years of life.

So, he was determined to have this woman.

In the dim corner, Lin Mubai no longer wanted to hide his greed for this woman. The blazing desire in his beautiful eyes was a sign of determination, allowing no failure.

The slight curve on his lips was not only confidence but also full of assurance: "An Nan, I, Lin Mubai, am short of a wife, and it’s going to be you. You may feel my love is somewhat inexplicable — I think so too — but love is love. I will no longer let go, starting from tonight, I want you to first belong to me physically, then emotionally, and ultimately in every aspect, for a lifetime."

Watching the playful crowd, An Nan was still unaware that she had already become prey in someone else’s eyes tonight. She was contemplating leaving after greeting the evening’s main host. She felt so tired and just wanted to find a bed and sleep till dawn.

The waiting time always feels long. An Nan had already drunk a cocktail and, feeling bored, took another drink from a waiter’s tray and continued savoring it on her own.

Seeing the cocktail in her hand, Lin Mubai, from the corner, had a flash of brilliance in his eyes — a glittering light, like a tiger in the night spotting its prey, flickering with a strange glow.

As An Nan was drinking, a shiver ran through her heart, giving her an inexplicable desire to flee.

She scanned her surroundings but found nothing unusual. Shrugging, she thought she was overthinking it and continued sipping her drink. During this time, several so-called young elites came over to greet her, all repelled by her indifferent smile.

Given her profession, she’s always been in contact with young elites. If she wanted one, she wouldn’t have been single for so long. So, Xi Shaoqi was overthinking it.

Gradually, she began to feel that one person became two in her view. However, because her self-control had always been good, no one noticed, but soon, the heat spreading through her body gave her a bad feeling. Her first reaction was that she needed to leave here immediately.
