Xia Wanqing woke up in a daze. Outside her window, the dark sky was just beginning to lighten, soon giving way to countless rays of morning sunlight. It was a beautiful sight.

Her head felt heavy as she picked up her phone. It was only a little past six. She could sleep a little longer...

"Wait," she thought. "How did I get home last night?"

Shocked and frightened, she immediately checked herself. Her outerwear had been taken off, leaving her wearing only yesterday’s white shirt on her upper half and a somewhat conservative pair of panties. She also carefully checked her most intimate areas and found nothing amiss.

"Phew... Thank goodness," she breathed.

She continued to recall. A few embarrassing scenes inexplicably flashed through her mind, eventually stopping on a handsome face.

A hint of confusion crept into her mind. What exactly happened? She was only wearing a white shirt, and her pants were completely off. Was she really that unappealing?

THUMP.

A faint noise suddenly came from outside.

Startled, Xia Wanqing tiptoed toward the bedroom door. She gently pulled it open without making a sound, revealing a crack. Looking through, she noticed the living room was slightly messy.

On the small sofa lay a shirtless man, revealing muscle definition like that of a statue from Ancient Greece. He was lying on his side, seemingly fast asleep. His abdominal muscles were pronounced, and his chest was broad and firm. One foot hung down to the floor—the sofa was likely too small, and the noise earlier must have been him turning over.

Having figured out the situation, Xia Wanqing pursed her dry lips as she stared at the explosively fit man, almost hearing the THUMP THUMP of her own heartbeat.

A man with a great figure was definitely a plus. Because men in Dragon Country didn’t place a high priority on physique management, occasionally seeing a man with well-defined abs—even if he had an unappealing face—gave off a very manly vibe and provided a great sense of security.

Xia Wanqing closed the door and silently retreated to the edge of the bed. Looking around, there were no signs of the room being rummaged through. It was clear that Mr. Su was very well-behaved.

"Uh... Actually, he didn’t need to be that well-behaved!" she thought. "Stop it! Xia Wanqing, you said you’d never believe in love again. That stuff is for the dogs!"

She was just curious about what exactly had happened. But it wasn’t appropriate to ask right now, so she could only wait patiently. As she waited, she fell asleep again.

She didn’t know how long had passed.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

A brief and urgent knocking sounded on the door.

"Who’s out there?" she wondered.

The thought had just flashed through her mind when she immediately got her answer.

"Sir, your food delivery. Enjoy your meal."

BAM.

Then she heard the sound of the door closing, followed by footsteps growing clearer.

KNOCK KNOCK.

"Are you awake? It’s eight-thirty."

Su Yunzhou tapped gently on the door, feeling a trace of guilt. She had been so drunk yesterday, yet here he was, urging her to get up and go to work to make money for him.

So this was how ruthless bosses came to be.

CREAK.

The door opened.

Xia Wanqing stood at the doorway with a flushed face and slightly messy hair. She had changed into a tight, light gray short-sleeved shirt and shorts. She looked very homely, much like one of those young wives in Japanese anime who had just finished house chores.

Seeing Su Yunzhou in a brand-new white T-shirt, a flash of doubt and regret crossed her eyes.

"You... good morning... Last night, I..." she asked cautiously.

Her reaction made Su Yunzhou find her even more interesting. The fact that this young woman would occasionally show an adorableness that didn’t match her age was truly a huge plus.

Su Yunzhou asked in return, "You should be asking what you did to me."

"Ah?"

A few fragmented memories flashed through Xia Wanqing’s mind—she wasn’t sure if they were just dreams. Her face grew hot as she replied, "I... I can’t really remember!"

Su Yunzhou took out his phone, opened his photo gallery, and handed it over. "Good thing I recorded it all!"

Xia Wanqing took the phone blankly. There were both photos and videos. After looking at a few, her beautiful face instantly flushed bright red, the blush spreading all the way down her neck. She was too embarrassed to click on the rest.

"I’m... I’m sorry... I didn’t expect to get so drunk!"

Su Yunzhou took the phone back. Recalling the events of last night, a helpless look washed over his face.

At the time, after supporting the dazed young woman into the house, the slight excitement he felt had been completely beyond words. As a physically fit man, he naturally wanted to do something. But his years of mandatory education condemned him, warning against any immoral behaviors or thoughts.

But just as he was caught in an intense internal struggle...

BLEARGH!

A foul stench hit him.

Su Yunzhou whipped off his shirt with lightning speed.

"I’ve been soiled!"

"Ugh..." Covering her mouth, Xia Wanqing bolted into the bathroom and began throwing up.

That single puke extinguished all of Su Yunzhou’s worldly desires.

Listening to the highly graphic SPLASHING sounds coming from the bathroom, Su Yunzhou stuffed two wads of tissue into his nostrils. Recording the whole process to prove his innocence, he went in to take care of her with an air of righteous duty.

There was no need to say much about what happened next.

Heaven knows how many times he scrubbed himself with body wash. Afterward, he made do on the small sofa for the night until he woke up in the morning and ordered food and a short-sleeved shirt for delivery.

Feeling his gaze, Xia Wanqing was as bashful as a cute little quail. She kept her head down, her whole body burning hot, giving off the strong vibe of an anime housewife ready to submit to her boss’s every whim.

[Affinity +5]

Su Yunzhou collected his thoughts and sighed inwardly, "Ah! Hard work truly pays off."

Turning to the flustered young woman, he said, "Hurry up and go wash up!

"I ordered some porridge. You threw up a lot yesterday, so eating a little something should settle your stomach."

"Mhm..." Xia Wanqing murmured in agreement and slipped into the bathroom as if fleeing.

After locking the door.

PHEW.

She exhaled a long breath, clutching her heavily heaving chest.

Just then, she caught sight of the panties sitting in the nearby laundry basket. Ugh...

Listening to the sound of water running in the bathroom, Su Yunzhou’s imagination began to run wild. Then he wondered if this easily embarrassed mature young woman was truly a business genius, as Tong had judged.

However, things had already come to this, and there was nothing else to do. It would be best if she was. But even if she wasn’t, given the rate at which her Affinity was increasing, he figured he wouldn’t take a loss.

Ten or so minutes later.

Xia Wanqing came out of the bathroom. Her wet hair draped over her shoulders, her beautiful face was still flushed, and playful water droplets clung to her fair skin. She looked exceptionally fresh and enchanting.

Su Yunzhou paused for a moment before saying, "Quickly dry your hair! Come and eat!"

Two bowls of plain porridge and a few side dishes were laid out on the table.

Xia Wanqing indeed felt a bit hungry. "I’ll eat first, then dry my hair."

Throughout breakfast, they both remained somewhat silent. After finishing his meal, Su Yunzhou saw that it was getting late. Knowing she probably still needed a while to get ready, he leisurely stood up.

"Since you’re alright now, I’ll head back first. See you later."

"Mhm..." Xia Wanqing walked him to the door and muttered with her head bowed, "Thank you."

The door closed.

Xia Wanqing felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Looking at the dining table, she bashfully sat down on the sofa. It felt as though the man’s scent still lingered in the air.

She blinked her eyes as she looked out the window. Who knew what she had thought of, but her pretty face flushed red again. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

RING RING RING!

Her phone ringtone shattered the momentary silence.

"Hello! Sister Tao!

"I drank a bit too much yesterday and just woke up.

"Then let’s just meet directly at the lottery management center in a little while."

"..."
