Family politics
After dropping off Suyin and Kwang, Zi Han returned to his villa instead of going back to the Silver Wind mansion. It was an intentional move to avoid rousing any suspicion, even if he was followed.The rest of the household had already fallen fast asleep, but the butler was still wide awake and greeted Zi Han as he rang the doorbell.“Welcome home, master. I hope it was an eventful night,” he said, taking Zi Han’s watch and offering him fresh wet wipes. “Should I prepare dinner or would you like me to draw you a bath first?”“You’ve been waiting long enough. Get some sleep. I want to be alone for a while,” Zi Han replied and headed for the bathroom.After spending a good half an hour thinking in the shower, Zi Han finally decided to call it a night and hit the bed. But as soon as he was about to turn off the lights, his phone rang.His sleep vanished in an instant as he saw Xiao Feng’s name flashing on the screen. He remembered handing out his number to Xiao Feng at the party but did
Flames on ice
Zi Han’s face flushed, and his breath caught in his throat as he looked at Bridgette. He still couldn’t believe the most popular girl in college had just proposed to him at her own pool party. Most guys in college would give anything to impress Bridgette. But hardly anyone had managed to win her over.For a moment, Zi Han froze in place as he felt time stop around him. Several thoughts raced across his mind as he tried to figure out Bridgette’s true intentions. “You barely know me,” he spoke at last, stopping her advances. Bridgette smiled seductively and whispered, “We have all the time in the world to know each other. Don’t be such a prude.” Even a few weeks ago, Zi Han would have leaped at the chance to date someone like Bridgette, but things had changed now. Ever since he had learned about his past life, all his dreams revolved around the veiled woman, and there was no room for anyone else in his heart.“It’s wrong. We can’t do this,” he spoke firmly, his cold eyes staring bac
The art of seduction
Suyin’s cheeks reddened like ripe cherries as she heard Yutai’s words. She felt so embarrassed that she couldn’t even bear to look at Zi Han and immediately tried to get up and leave.Daisy, however, held her arm, preventing her from moving.“Where are you going? We are still in the middle of the game.”“I don’t want to play anymore,” Suyin mumbled and tried to pull away, but Daisy tightened her grip, making her wince in pain. “Let go of me!”“It’s rude to walk away in the middle of something,” she said, holding her down. “Just sit and relax. There is no need to act like a kid.”“Yeah, it’s not like you’ve never kissed anyone,” Yutai cut in. “Just enjoy yourself a bit instead of being so uptight all the time.”Bridgette carefully studied Suyin’s face, and her reaction quickly gave away her reality. “Oh, so you really haven’t kissed anyone, have you?” she taunted. “And here I was thinking you were just feeling shy in front of us.”“I don’t want to complete this dare. Just leave her alo
It’s just a game
All eyes were glued to the table as Bridgette twisted her wrist and spun the empty bottle. It whistled as its glass ground against the table, spinning like a wheel. When it finally stopped, the bottle’s head pointed straight at Zi Han.Bridgette’s eyes immediately lit up in excitement. She couldn’t believe her luck.“It looks like you just can’t stop being the center of attention,” Feng Xiao joked.“I told you he is quite a special guy,” Bridgette replied before turning to Zi Han. “So, what will it be? Truth or dare?”“Truth,” Zi Han answered without hesitation.Bridgette smiled with her eyes and leaned forward. “Alright, let’s get to know you better. Tell me, Zi Han. Who is this wealthy uncle of yours we’ve been hearing so much about?”“He was a good man…used to own a few farmlands on the outskirts of the city,” Zi Han replied curtly, trying not to go into any details that might give away his lie.“So, he was in the real estate business?” Xiao Feng asked.Zi Han nodded. “He was.”“M
Truth and Dare
Feng Xiao and Zi Han shook hands again and joked about the whole thing. With tensions finally de-escalating, Bridgette decided to get the party started. More beer cans and vodka bottles made their way out of the fridge, and soon the pizza arrived, along with fresh sushi from the best restaurant in the city.While Zi Han instantly became the center of attention, Kwang and Suyin kept to themselves, avoiding the rich snobs who had their own elite circle.Bridgette, however, was not ready to let them stay that way. She quickly clapped her hands and lowered the music to get everyone’s attention.“It’s getting pretty sleepy in here. How about a game?”Feng Xiao gave the thumbs up. “I’m down.”“Count me in, too,” Cheng Lin said.Lefan nodded as well. “Let’s do it.”“What kind of game are we talking about?” Daisy asked, knitting her eyebrows. “I nearly put Yutai’s eye out the last time we were playing darts.”Yutai chuckled at her remark and crossed his fingers. “I am not going to stay in th
A hostile friendship
Getting acquainted with the elites of Argos was one of the sole reasons for Zi Han accepting Bridgette’s invitation. But he never expected the Governor’s son to come up to him so easily to strike up a conversation.Feng Xiao was every bit the arrogant leader just like his father, but there was a measured shrewdness in his eyes. Instead of waiting for Bridgette to do the honors, Feng Xiao took it upon himself to greet Zi Han and offer him a hand of friendship, shocking everyone else present at the party.Zi Han shook his hand firmly and spoke in a taut and disciplined voice, “Bridgette told me you’d be coming. But I didn’t know you were so eager to meet me.”Feng Xiao smiled and pressed Zi Han’s shoulder, his eyes flashing with hints of tame madness.“I always try to stay acquainted with those who are in the news, and you, my friend, have done your best to ruffle my feathers,” he replied before moving to the window and eyeing Zi Han’s car. “You know, there are only three Hellhounds in
