Chapter 1, I hate you, only because I love you

I apologize, I truly have no malice. It is just that there have been rumors in the industry that Xu Mofei's special assistant is exceptionally adept and experienced, handling matters with finesse and being accommodating to everyone, leaving no room for criticism. I merely wanted to see if such an impressive woman really exists!" He continued to smile, that somewhat cheeky grin was a bit irritating. "Alright, it was my fault. As compensation, how about I offer to accompany you to buy an evening gown this afternoon?"

TIM, 23 years old, is Chinese and debuted as a fashion model. He possesses a captivating face, alluring peach blossom eyes, a carefree smile, and a strong, tall physique, making him a super idol star. He has been developing his career in the film industry, but recently, the entertainment industry has seen a rise in multi-talented artists. Additionally, he has just taken on a large-scale film production, so he wishes to sing the movie's theme song while acting, followed by the release of a personal album, which is why he approached Xu Mofei.

Zhan Qing stared at his elegant face, and the thought of "I dislike him" gradually resurfaced in her mind

On a quiet winter night, they passionately kissed in their small apartment

She has almost forgotten what her bare-faced appearance looks like

In this day and age, the entertainment industry cannot be described merely as chaotic.

She had once told herself that the reason she could follow him for two years was that she maintained a clear distinction between public and private matters, refraining from any inappropriate behavior. However, after the kiss with Tim tonight, it felt as if a little deer was hidden in her heart, restlessly jumping around, urging her to be bold.

It is good that there is nothing wrong. He no longer asked, leaning back in the chair with his eyes closed, resting.

After all is said and done, it still comes down to you! Since the conversation has already been opened up, there is no need for her to maintain her image any longer

She does not know how to kiss, not at all, but she still hopes that he will enjoy kissing her

Cold dishes, main courses, cheese, fruits, desserts, she did not miss a single item that should be included in French cuisine. She elegantly tasted all the expensive dishes such as stuffed snails, oysters, foie gras, and black truffles.

At the upscale banquet, celebrities and socialites gathered in abundance. Looking around, glasses clinked together, and the crystal lights shone brilliantly.

A standard apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. The building features a pointed roof, standing only four stories high, with light gray exterior walls adorned with exquisite three-dimensional sculptures. The bedroom has a small balcony with black lace iron railings, providing ample daylight, while the street below is bustling and lively during the day, yet remarkably quiet at night. Zhanqing kicked off her high heels, covered her mouth, and rushed into the bathroom to vomit for quite a while before slowly coming out after taking a shower.

"Court Banquet?" TIM smiled mischievously, "So, will this beautiful and capable assistant also be present at tonight's banquet?"

Zhan Qing suddenly felt that perhaps she could reenact the scene from just now once again

TIM is twenty-three years old, she is twenty-four, and she is exactly in the category of boys that she would not be interested in

The banquet will commence at 8:30 PM

The French place great importance on gastronomy, and Paris is truly the capital of fine dining. Even the most ordinary small shops in the streets and alleys will not disappoint travelers

Seeing the familiar, upright figure ahead, Zhan Qing did not hesitate and immediately followed.

Regarding these unrefined tactics, she typically dismisses them with a smile after providing a clear explanation. It is impossible not to smile, for no one understands better than she does that after these women engage in such unrefined tactics, what awaits them is only abandonment

"Wow, what a uniquely charismatic assistant!" The Frenchman clearly has a good command of Chinese, as he continues to tease in Chinese, "However, an assistant shouldn't be giving orders to their boss! Moreover, your boss is having a great time, and your actions are quite a buzzkill! But you do have a point; work is indeed important. How about this?" He lined up three glass cups and poured three glasses of whiskey, "If you drink these as a toast to me, I will give you a favor and let your boss go home, how about that?"

She does not go often, only making a trip when he instructs her to purchase daily necessities for him. He does not hire a maid; he usually cleans the room himself, yet it is exceptionally tidy and clean

In the pursuit of fame and wealth, there are too many individuals who take shortcuts. Many capable individuals find themselves overshadowed by those lacking ability, leading to an increasing number of imitators. The dark underbelly of the entertainment industry has also begun to emerge. Figures like Xu Mofei, who embody both status and appearance as a music mogul, have become highly sought-after in this circle

Not long after, she often recalled this scene and felt very ignorant. For a mature man, a woman initiating a kiss in an apartment at night does not merely signify a kiss. His frown was not solely directed at the act of kissing her; he was contemplating whether to engage in certain subsequent actions. She did not understand, simply because she lacked experience

Xu Mofei wore a custom-made black tailcoat crafted by a renowned designer, gracefully navigating through the crowd of elites with a champagne in hand, engaging in conversation and smiling from time to time. Her tall figure accentuated her outstanding demeanor, exuding elegance and charm

But what about today

By the time she regained her composure, Xu Mofei had already taken a seat in the black Benz that had been waiting for a long time. She tightened her trench coat and steadied her slightly unsteady steps as she slipped into the car

Having just arrived in Paris and not yet unpacked, he is already thinking about charming the ladies, showcasing a demeanor reminiscent of a celebrity in the entertainment industry

In Zhanqing's view, regardless of a man's height, as long as he is shorter than her, he is uniformly referred to as a boy

Which of his eyes could see that she was fine? Zhan Qing felt a bit like crying without tears. After enduring for a long time until the car finally stopped, she hurriedly said goodbye and rushed to the small apartment located on the top floor

"When did you learn to drink?" he suddenly asked

He stopped smiling and stared at her for a while, "You are very cute"

She originally intended to merely reenact a kiss, so she pretended to walk unsteadily and boldly asked him to escort her back to the apartment for the first time

But to be honest, after two years in Paris, this is her first time sitting behind a beautiful glass window with a man, or rather, a boy, enjoying the scenery while leisurely savoring delicious food.

He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her

As the assistant to a prominent figure in the music industry, she must face various celebrities and socialites from the entertainment world and high society every day. Her attire and demeanor must reflect elegance, appropriateness, professionalism, and fashion. Consequently, spending an hour each morning to perfect her makeup and select her outfits has become her routine over the past two years

If it is him, anything is possible

However, perhaps due to the influence of her panda eyes, she always feels that the scenery of the Seine River outside is more pleasing to the eye than the handsome man in front of her

"The capable assistant seems to have some worries?" TIM approached her, his dark eyes becoming deep.

Every time it is this sentence! Zhan Qing felt a sudden pain in her head and switched to Chinese to say: "Xu Shao! That agent is notoriously picky in the industry. May I ask what is more important now, work or catching up with your old friend?"

However, he accepted it, and thereafter, events unfolded in a logical manner

Indeed, a capable woman does not always require others to praise her beauty or intelligence; a simple word like "lovely" can be even more touching.

Even if one has not read the novel, one should have at least watched the television series. Which man would enjoy a woman who constantly seeks trouble? Especially a man of Xu Mofei's caliber, who would be cast into obscurity forever after just one mistake.

She has always liked mature and elegant men, ever since her youth. This has not changed in the past six years

A woman may lack beauty, figure, education, temperament, and taste ... ! ... www.hetushucom .com but she absolutely cannot lack intelligence !

Because of him, she had to endure the pressure from her parents and family, and despite the numerous criticisms from relatives, she resolutely flew across half the globe

A tour guide? Perhaps that would be a good idea

Did you just see him

In fact, everyone knows that Xu Shao does not discuss emotions, yet every month and every day, a large number of infatuated women appear around him under various pretenses, showering him with attentions. While part of the reason is undoubtedly his looks and physique, she believes that what attracts them even more is his ability to command influence in the music industry

To put it bluntly, those women do not suffer too much even if they do not gain any benefits from him, after all, such handsome men are rare

Of course! I never deceive beautiful women, and I believe Xu Shao wouldn't either!" The other party shrugged and made a gesture of "please."

Every time Zhan Qing begins to tend to her face in front of the mirror, she recalls many years ago when her cousin applied lipstick in front of the old and damaged mirror of the large cabinet, and the words she had vowed with certainty.

Sometimes, disliking someone does not require many reasons. She only knows that she dislikes him

Xu Shao! You still need to discuss the album matters with the agent of the Asian Little King at 9 AM. It is already past 3 AM. May I ask when you plan to leave?

He has a very sculpted and slender face, with his brows, eyes, nose, and lips perfectly resembling a Greek sculpture. In the high society of Paris, there are numerous socialites who are enamored with him. Today, at the banquet, blonde beauties frequently approached him to initiate conversations, seizing the opportunity to dance and laugh with him. Some even took him to the courtyard outside the banquet hall, where they engaged in whispered conversations for quite some time before slowly reappearing.

Zhan Qing, dressed in a purple-black backless silk gown, held the sixth glass of champagne of the evening in her hand, leaning against the wall next to a large potted plant, continuing to bring it to her lips

Zhan Qing no longer looked at him, but instead fixed her gaze on the Frenchman, "If you finish these three glasses, will you convince Xu Shao to come back with me? Can you guarantee that you can do it?"

He remained silent, merely nodding slightly, and then walked ahead.

When should one learn to drink? She couldn't help but smile at Xu Mofei's words. She had never learned to drink, and she had never liked alcohol. After being with him for two years, it turned out that his understanding of her was limited to this.

After greeting everyone in a circle and returning to her original spot, TIM discovered that a blush had appeared on her originally ivory-colored face. "You can't be serious, how many glasses have you had?" "I lost count," she replied. In the midst of their conversation, her champagne glass was empty again, so she stopped a passing waiter to get another glass.

Is she a domesticated pet? What fun things are there to do? She rolled her eyes while propping her forehead up.

Hello... please don't make that kind of noise, okay?! He was quite helpless, "To be honest, my self-control is not very strong!"

"Can we... go back?" she asked somewhat cautiously

The apartment is located in an old building not far from the Seine River. Due to its prime location and the building's long history, it is not something that can simply be rented by the wealthy. Ultimately, no matter how shrewd and capable she is as an assistant, she is merely an employee. Without someone like Xu Mofei standing there, how could a young woman who hasn't even graduated from university possibly survive in a city like Paris?

She admitted that she is not a patient person, especially when she is in a bad mood. She put down her fork, took a sip of water, and said, "There is no need to be so formal with Miss Zhan; you can just call me Zhan Qing. Furthermore, TIM, I personally have little interest in celebrity dating games. Although it may sound a bit direct, we are not at work right now, so I think it is better to say some things upfront. This way, it will cause less trouble for both you and me."

In the dim light, Xu Mofei's handsome face appeared even more three-dimensional and charming, and even the detestable fingers wrapped around the sexy lady were elegant enough to be intoxicating

Because of him, she had to give up the smooth employment path in her home country and come to this splendid yet alien country.

Zhan Qing pushed him away and walked towards the courtyard without saying a word. The courtyard was designed as a glass greenhouse, maintaining a constant temperature throughout the year, so it did not feel cold even in winter. Inside the courtyard, the light was dim. As the effects of the alcohol took hold, her head began to spin, so she casually found a corner and leaned against the wall again

"Who says you have to learn before you can drink?" she retorted, raising an eyebrow at him. The swaying of the car made her stomach increasingly uncomfortable, and she just wanted to get back to the apartment as soon as possible

Looking at the time, it is nearly 4:00 AM. The meeting is at 9:00 AM, and as the assistant, she needs to arrive early, leaving her with less than four hours to sleep. Thinking about the panda eyes she would inevitably have, Zhan Qing felt a shiver run through her and hurriedly slipped into her bedroom

Xu Mo Fei extinguished the cigarette butt, his light gray eyes gazing deeply at her for a moment, before finally rising to his feet

Moments later, she felt his hand encircle her waist, beginning to actively respond to her kiss

For all these various reasons, she truly dislikes him

However, after taking only a few steps, she stopped. Not far in front of her, Xu Mofei's tall figure stood there, his gaze fixed on her in the dim light. A quiet gaze, an elegant face. She looked back at him and suddenly felt her heart race.

At first, he was neither very enthusiastic nor did he refuse. She opened her eyes to sneak a glance at his expression and found that his brows were actually furrowed. A wave of intense heartache surged within her, and she suddenly felt a sense of recklessness. Thus, she steeled her heart and continued to kiss him in a disordered manner

Who says that winter in Paris is warm and humid? The deep nights of January in Paris are simply freezing cold!

"What are you doing, woman? I have just begun!" TIM was left in a state of distraction by her.

Idiot! She wanted to curse, but when she opened her mouth, she realized her voice was soft and weak, with a hint of hoarseness: "I hate... flower | flower | prince..."

The car started, and the cool moonlight spilled through the car window onto his shoulder. It was a deep and distant luster, reflecting in her eyes, quietly seeping into her heart

I heard that Miss Zhan has stayed in Paris for two years, and indeed she is more graceful and charming than the usual assistants back home! From beginning to end, TIM kept complimenting her. "By the way, this is my first time in Paris, and I am not very familiar with the place. Since Miss Zhan has the afternoon off, would you be interested in being my tour guide?"

TIM was originally unable to fly here in person due to scheduling conflicts, so he entrusted all matters of this negotiation to his agent. Who would have thought that he would take an early flight and hurriedly appear in Paris? Therefore, a delay was inevitable. After all, he is currently very popular, and it is not easy for him to come in person.

In a moment, TIM slowly walked over from the other side of the courtyard. With his hands in his pockets, he shrugged inexplicably and said, "So what does that make me? After all, I am a little king myself..."

Indeed, a flawless boss

After tentative caresses, there came a domineering and bold deep kiss. In terms of kissing, TIM considers himself an expert; no matter the opponent, they would melt in his embrace within seconds. However, as the kiss continued, he began to feel puzzled—why did this woman in front of him seem so "green"? Realizing that she was kissing TIM, the Asian superstar she had just met, Zhan Qing hurriedly tried to push him away, but as soon as she managed to push him back a little, he changed his position and wrapped around her again.

Is he a lovesick fool or an idiot? Zhan Qing's head began to ache

In the bar, amidst the clamor, she squeezed through the crowd, finally arriving at the door of the private room at the end, her heart filled with grievances that had nowhere to vent. When she pushed open the door to the private room and saw him, enveloped in a haze and embracing a seductive woman, her anger surged even more, and after suppressing it for a long time, she finally approached him.

She is dizzy; someone who doesn't even know her name is surprisingly so interested in her, she truly feels honored

After Xu Mofei closed the apartment door with his support, she reached out to hook her arm around his neck and主动ly offered him her kiss

That elegant, mature, and charming Xu Mofei, the Xu Mofei who has been kept in her heart since she was eighteen years old

She hates him

He took a deep puff of smoke, looking at her through the swirling haze with a smile that was neither here nor there. After a long pause, he said: "You should go back first; let the driver take you. I will return by myself later."

At 8 o'clock, a metropolitan fashion assistant gradually took shape in the cosmetic mirror—mature, elegant, and capable, with not a trace of her essence visible. Very good! She pressed her full lips together and stepped out with her bag.

Xu Mo Fei, will he know? She hates him like this, only because she has always been in love with him

Hey! She used both her hands and feet to finally push him away

Zhan Qing tapped her swollen head, realizing that she had once again begun to fall into the three words "I hate him".

"You—" she pointed at him, unable to find words for a long while, "You—let's just consider what happened earlier as a dream, we haven't done anything! That's it, goodbye!" With that, she hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, regardless of how astonished his expression was.

Indeed, she despises Xu Mofei, loathes his flirtatious nature, and harbors disdain for many other things as well

Her ability to come and go from Xu Mofei's private residence is something that the women around him envy greatly. There have been a few occasions when some less discerning women confronted her, accusing her of using her official duties as a pretext to seduce her boss, claiming that she appeared to be a respectable assistant but was, in fact, a shameless seductress.

Her soft, long hair dyed brown is styled in a trendy updo at the back of her head, with a few strands left loose by her ears, accentuating her pointed oval face. Light brown eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, pure black mascara, and matte eyeshadow outline her deep, watery almond-shaped eyes and cool, arched brows. Additionally, a translucent orange lip gloss and subtle blush complement her originally clean and pure features, exuding a rich and mature aura of competence.

Dining with a handsome man is indeed a delightful experience, especially when the other party is an Asian superstar. It is hard to imagine how many young girls would go to great lengths just to catch a glimpse of him. Therefore, at this moment, she can be considered quite fortunate.

He is a man with obsessive cleanliness; although he is flirtatious, he has never brought a woman back to his residence. Despite the many staff members who work with him, so far, only she knows the password to his apartment

How should one describe the person Xu Mofei

The discussions regarding the album matters have concluded. Zhan Qing closed the document, contemplating whether she should return to her apartment at noon to take care of herself, especially to address the panda eyes that she had barely covered with two layers of foundation. However, the young superstar in front of her suddenly extended a warm invitation, wishing to have lunch with her, this beautiful and capable assistant

Regardless of what intentions this TIM has towards her, at least at this moment, she feels that he is not as annoying as he was at the beginning

Having been in this industry for two years, Zhan Qing naturally understands the appropriate social etiquette. It's just a meal; as long as the boss does not object, everything is fine! Zhan Qing smiled and turned her gaze to the side at Xu Mofei, who also wore a similar smile. In addition to nodding in agreement, he also casually invited TIM to attend the court banquet in the evening

At that time, she said that when she grew up, she would definitely not wear makeup. Applying so many strange things on her face, how troublesome and exhausting it must be! If a boyfriend truly likes you, he will find you beautiful even with a bare face!

"Have you had too much to drink again?" Xu Mofei approached her, his gaze sweeping past her lips. "Do you want to go back?"

The meeting scheduled for 9 o'clock was unexpectedly delayed by the other party. The reason, of course, does not lie with the fastidious agent, but rather with the Asian superstar TIM who appeared alongside him.

Because of him, she had to give up all her entertainment and rest time, working while cramming French in the little time left before leaving the country. Although she knew that as long as she mastered English, she could live well, she wanted to achieve perfection

His actions caused her to panic, but she did not refuse, not at all

Three cups of strong liquor, just like that, went down her throat. She set down the last cup, took a deep breath, and said, "Xu Shao, can we leave now?"

"Hey..." A hot breath came from beside her ear. TIM had followed her out at some point, leaning ambiguously close to her, his hands resting on either side of her shoulders. His sexy face bore a hint of confusion as he stared at her intently for a long time, finally concluding, "You need a man right now"

Elegant, mature, charming, graceful, intelligent, and exceptionally talented? In short, he possesses all the virtues a man should have, and of course, he is also quite the womanizer. Sometimes she truly finds it strange that such a taciturn and indifferent man could be so charming, continuously attracting one group of women after another, like moths to a flame.

Because he is Xu Mofei

Zhan Qing lightly curved her lips, picked up the wine glass, and tilted her head back to pour it down her throat

She typically chose a long, waist-cinching, wide-collared winter coat, with matte gold being her favorite color. The earrings and bracelet also needed to be appropriately matched. Fortunately, she had good natural attributes: an ivory complexion, a height of 165 cm, a petite and slender yet proportionate frame, and long legs, allowing her to wear almost any outfit in her own style

"Hehe, what a capable assistant you are. Have you been waiting outside all this time?" Xu Mofei did not respond, while the Frenchman beside him, who was hugging a girl, began to tease, "Wow! You actually waited for more than five hours, truly diligent!"

Cute? She raised her eyes to look at him, and in that moment, it seemed as if she saw the words 'sincerity' from the depths of his eyes. She paused for a moment, and her expression gradually softened

At 8:30 in the morning, she stepped into Xu Mofei's company. The company is located on the other side of the Seine River, housed in a beautiful and classical Gothic-style building, exuding a strong Western European charm. From the southern windows of the office building, one can enjoy the exquisite romance of the Seine River and the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower. The office building has three floors: the first floor serves as the reception area for external visitors, the second floor is Xu Mofei's creative studio, and the third floor is his private residence. The elevator does not go directly to the upper floors; a password is required for entry. The office building has three floors: the first floor serves as the reception area for external visitors, the second floor is Xu Mofei's creative studio, and the third floor is his private residence. The elevator does not go directly to the upper floors; a password is required for entry.

Her gaze shifted towards Xu Mofei, wearing that familiar expression that seemed to be a smile yet not quite. "Of course she will come. How about this, Zhan Qing, I will give you half a day off this afternoon. Please entertain TIM for me and also help select a suitable dress, and sign the company accounts."

Hmm? My head is spinning, and it seems that my hearing is starting to deteriorate. Zhan Qing grabbed the collar of the person in front of her, but suddenly realized that his face was magnifying.

The other party seemed momentarily taken aback, but soon crossed their arms and broke into a smile. Gradually, the smile transformed into laughter, until their shoulders shook with mirth.

Three cups filled to the brim with strong liquor made her heart race. Zhan Qing glanced at Xu Mofei, who still maintained that expression, clearly indifferent to the situation, and from time to time leaned close to the young lady's ear, whispering a few words that made her giggle incessantly

I guessed it right, you are indeed completely different from the way you are dressed! TIM is still laughing, but his tone has completely changed, "I'm sorry, I just thought it was fun before, I meant no harm!"

How can this person be so charming?

In fact, relying on the excuse of having drunk too much, no one would blame anyone afterwards. However, she might have truly drunk too much tonight; she did not expect that she would later become bold to such an extent.

As she stepped out of the bar, a cold wind rushed towards her, the stark contrast between the cold and the warmth caused her stomach to churn. Zhan Qing covered her mouth, forcing herself to suppress the wave of nausea.
