Chapter 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sky was beginning to look bright. Taking out her phone, she saw that it was five in the morning.

Ji Ying felt apprehensive. It was her first night out and she wondered how her family would react.

Especially her stepmother who had a very bad relationship with her. If she confronted Ji Ying, it would be very troublesome.

When Ji Ying returned home half an hour later, she found the house brightly lit and bustling with activity.

“What’s going on? Is there a banquet at home?”

The moment she entered, she saw her arrogant stepmother, Jiang Hong ordering the servants around.

“There. Clean those vases. Can’t have a speck of dust…”

At this moment, Jiang Hong’s expression darkened when she saw Ji Ying walk in.

“You haven’t been back all night. Where have you been fooling around at?”

Given the bad relationship between the two of them, it was normal for them to speak harshly.

However, Ji Ying was physically and mentally exhausted. She could not be bothered to pay attention to the question. She only said indifferently, “I’m tired!”

Jiang Hong criticized from behind Ji Ying, but her eyes were filled with confusion.

Ji Ying was not usually like this. Now, she actually did not retort. Had she really been fooling around?

Ten minutes later, Ji Ying came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, and slumped down on the sofa.

The image of a certain man involuntarily appeared in her mind again.

“How annoying!”

Then, she remembered that the other party had asked her to take responsibility. She could not hide the anger on her face.

“I hope we never cross paths again!”

Although she felt exhausted, both physically and mentally. She felt lazy and listless.

However, she was not sleepy at all. She could only take out her phone and look at it.

A few funny short videos made Ji Ying feel better and more relaxed.

When the phone’s screen refreshed again, a figure instantly came into view.

“Huh?”

Ji Ying’s eyes instantly widened.

“Isn’t that the guy?”

Then, the commentary in the video came.

“The new mayor of our city, Zhao Weili, is attending…”

“Hiss—”

Ji Ying felt her heart tremble. She did not hear the rest of the sentence clearly. All that remained in her mind were the words “new mayor” and “Zhao Weili.”

In the same video, Zhao Weili was sitting on the main seat. The name tag in front of him was clear and unmistakable. This man was the new mayor of Y City.

“How? How? Did I… really sleep with the mayor yesterday?”

Ji Ying swallowed. Now that she thought about it, it was no wonder that guy reacted that way this morning, as if he had suffered a huge loss.

It was not her imagination. She was pretty sure everything was real…

‘Slap!’

Ji Ying gently slapped her pretty face and muttered to herself angrily, “What are you thinking? It’s both our first times. At most, we’re even. Neither of us owes the other anything!”

However, when she thought about the other party’s words about making her responsible, she was furious.

‘How could he, a mayor, ask a young woman like me to be responsible for him?’

“Hmph, this man won’t get to see me anymore. At most, I’ll retreat when I see him next time. Besides, he’s a mayor. I don’t think we’ll have many chances to meet in the future!”

That was what she said and thought, but she was still a little worried.

So, she turned on her computer, went to the forum where she often lurked, and posted a request for help.

“Hurry, hurry! What happens if we accidentally sleep with the new mayor?”

Ji Ying sat in front of the computer, wrapped in a towel, waiting anxiously.

Soon the first reply appeared.

“It’s daytime and you’re still dreaming?”

“The new mayor? OP, you’re really bold! Do you know the background of the new mayor? He’s the youngest mayor in the history of the Dragon Kingdom. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s a young man with a promising future ahead of him. I wonder how many people are thinking of marrying him!”

“Are you delusional? As the youngest mayor of the Dragon Kingdom, Zhao Weili is the most righteous person in the city. When did he become someone whom you can sleep with just because you want to? I’d like to sleep with him too!”

“Save it. Zhao Weili is so young and promising. I heard that he’s already engaged to someone. Don’t even think about it!”

“A potential stock is gone just like that. It hurts!”

…

At first, the post was ignored.

Yet, only a few minutes later, the popularity of the post rose.

Many people spoke up one after another. They were all very optimistic about Zhao Weili. There were even people who posted to scold her, saying that she overestimated herself and was delusional.
