Chapter 005 The Ripples of the Hot Spring Pool

This woman is truly a source of trouble, captivating the souls of men wherever she goes; she is nothing but a calamity.

The bold bear truly did so; he stood up and approached the element, and in an instant, his paw rested upon her shoulder

Perhaps influenced by the mist of the hot spring pool, her originally bright eyes appeared watery, resembling a mystical pool of ethereal energy, compelling one to explore further. The man, filled with interest, leaned closer and said: "Beautiful miss, my surname is Hao, given name is Jing. May I ask for your name?"

City H is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, just a two-hour journey from City J. With its lush green mountains and clear waters, the scenery is quite pleasant. This city has always been a place where one wishes to vacation, but looking at the arrogant demeanor of the man beside me, who acts as if he is the master, all good moods have been thrown into the sea

The element frowned in displeasure, while Hao Jing, holding a tissue in his hand, took the opportunity to lightly wipe her face when she was not paying attention

The tumultuous elements of conflict and intrigue among men are naturally unknown to her, nor could she possibly realize that she has become a bargaining chip in their dealings. After finally resolving the substantial piece of cake in her hands, she let out a sigh of relief, only to suddenly sense a rush of wind by her ear

Upon entering Huaxing Pool, one immediately sees Mr. Qian being attended to like a star surrounded by admirers. A table full of men and women, with the men speaking eloquently and the women engaging in sweet conversation. Although it is said to be a hot spring, apart from a few beautiful women in revealing bikinis, the others are dressed quite formally. Dining and discussing matters by the hot spring pool seems rather odd. Upon seeing her enter, Mr. Qian, despite being busy, took a moment to offer her a few words.

Upon arriving at the Century Grand Hotel and Spa Resort, Qian Ao disappeared without a trace, and Yuan Suo certainly would not be foolish enough to inquire about his whereabouts. After much hesitation, she still sent a text message to Qian Zhongyao, inviting him to dinner three days later

Regardless, she is no longer worthy of Zhong Yao

As she raised her head, she noticed a young man wearing glasses sitting beside her, though she did not know when he had arrived. From his attire, it was clear that he was yet another wealthy scion. He handed her a piece of cake. Staring at the greasy cream for a long time, she eventually accepted it. She despised sweet foods the most, but out of politeness, she could not directly refuse.

Thank you

What are you doing standing there? Come in and have a seat

Sitting here, one feels uncomfortable all over; the wealthy truly know how to enjoy themselves, with the finest ingredients and the highest level of service. Yet, a large table full of dishes remains largely untouched, a display of extravagant waste and a squandering of food

Qian Ao nodded without speaking, merely smiling meaningfully, while a large hand indiscreetly kneaded the thigh of a tropical beauty beside him, presenting the demeanor of a debauched young master

Sitting? The element secretly murmured to herself, where should she sit?

Hao Jing spoke in an official tone, articulating policies, with every word centered on seeking welfare for the people and creating benefits for society, yet his piercing gaze betrayed his true intentions; what he desired was the woman beside him

As a seasoned player in the world of pleasure and intrigue, Qian Ao certainly understood his intentions. Just moments ago, they were having a pleasant conversation, and now, with the arrival of this woman, she dares to engage him in formalities, relying on the fact that her father is a high-ranking official in H City, and she has the audacity to challenge him

Thud! Hao Jing slipped and was unexpectedly pushed to the ground by her, his head striking the marble edge of the pool. Perhaps blinded by infatuation and overly careless, he lost his balance and rolled into the hot spring pool, with small splashes of water turning red from the blood oozing from his head

Knock knock knock

a measure of disdain, a measure of wickedness

Unintentionally glancing at the man across from me who was being served by a beautiful woman, I noticed him sitting casually in his chair, laughing nonchalantly. His left hand, with a ring on the ring finger, lightly tapped the edge of his wine glass, and when his gaze met hers in the air, his smile took on an additional hint of playful mockery.

As the absolute protagonist of tonight, Qian Ao had no extra energy to spare on her. Seeing her sitting aside eating, he continued to engage in superficial socializing. Despite his seemingly carefree demeanor of eating, drinking, and having fun, when it comes to discussing business at the dining table, no one understood the nuances better than Qian Ao.

The element frowned; although she had accepted 300,000 from him, it did not mean that she had to entertain all of his dubious friends.

After much contemplation, her resentment towards Qian Ao grew even stronger. Lying dazed on the large bed in the hotel, she truly wished to wake up three days later, to return to City J and resume her normal life, completely free from this nightmare

I am sorry, but I cannot.

A gentle knock sounded at the door. Standing at the entrance was a beautiful woman, her name tag indicating that she was the manager of the hotel’s housekeeping department. Holding a box in her hands, she respectfully presented it as she saw the door open, her smile very professional: "Miss, Mr. Qian instructed me to inform you that after you freshen up, please proceed to Huaxing Pool for a hot spring bath."

Hao Jing was quickly pulled up by a scar-faced man following him, blood from his head mingling with the pool water and flowing down his face, creating a somewhat terrifying sight. Infuriated and humiliated, he did not say a word but grabbed the long hair of the element and raised his right hand, poised to strike.

Hao Jing did not hide his lascivious gaze; in his view, Qian Ao's silence implied consent, and thus this vibrant and beautiful young woman was undoubtedly his. This woman appeared pure on the outside, yet exuded a seductive charm from within, a natural enchantress designed to captivate men. With this thought, he could hardly resist the urge to rush over and taste the sweetness of her lips.

Until arriving in City H, she had been pondering this question in her mind

What are you doing

Forget it, isn't this second-generation rich just someone who takes pleasure in making others look foolish? It's best to keep a distance from him! After scanning the room, I chose a corner by the hot spring pool and sat down.

On his left is a tropical beauty, and on his right is a girl in a bikini style. Initially, he thought inviting her was for "work," but now it seems he truly does not know what this temporary lover is here for

Just as the palm was about to strike down, the element had no time to react, unable to evade. However, the raised right hand was firmly seized by someone.

Element was taken aback; she had not anticipated that he would dare to act so boldly in public. Before his next move could arrive, she instinctively rose and used all her strength to push him away

Second Young Master, your father and my grandfather once shared a trench, so our relationship is undeniable. However, as you know, I am serving the country and am under the pressure of policies, making this matter quite difficult to handle

To give face is to lose face

The items were somewhat unexpected; the box contained merely a set of ordinary brand Bohemian-style clothing, which did not reflect the taste of a wealthy heir. Fortunately, the casual and loose-fitting style of the clothes, along with the higher collar, was just enough to cover the bruises on her neck.

But three days later, how should she face the impeccably clean Zhong Yao? Should she pretend that nothing has happened, or should she confess and say goodbye to love?

Suddenly, several screams of women echoed through the crowd

Although I find this person's way of flirting very annoying, I couldn't help but twitch my lips when he introduced himself. His name is Hao Jing, and the name is truly of international quality.

You have cake crumbs on your face, let me wipe them off for you

Come, have some of this

From the moment she stepped into the imperial palace, the relationship between him and Zhong Yao had already embarked on an irreversible path

Hao Jing, who had suffered a setback, was not angry. With a calm expression, he adjusted his glasses, smiled charmingly, shrugged his shoulders, and struck a pose that he thought was quite cool, before sitting down next to Yuan Su.
