Night.

In the dark room, two people were lying on the cold floor. The woman's voice was like a cat's, mesmerizing, her eyes were hazy, and her cheeks were unusually flushed.

"Tell me what you want." The man whispered in the woman's ear.

The seductive fragrance of a woman's body wafted into the tip of his nose, causing the man who was used to seeing wind and moon to feel a jolt in his heart.

Just as he was about to go to the washroom to wake up, he passed by this utility room and was dragged in by the woman in front of him.

He had seen all sorts of women before, but this one's delicate face caught his interest.

It seemed that he had still been drugged, but he was so stubborn that he did not move at all. How interesting.

Yu Xi tried to compose herself, but her name failed. She unsteadily twisted her body and tightly clutched the last piece of cloth on her body. She stubbornly stared at the man, but the tears in her eyes exposed her frailty. "Please …"

Ask him to save her? The corners of his lips curled up in a smile. It seemed like it was even more interesting now.

Yu Xi bit her lips. It was as if ten thousand ants were gnawing on her skin, and her willpower was slowly being devoured …

"Please — save you? Or … "I want you to …"

Hearing the straightforward words of the man, Yu Xi's already flushed face turned even darker.

Only this man could save her now. Her mother was still waiting for her. She couldn't die.

If she had seen earlier that the troublemaker was not drinking that glass of wine, she would have been fine.

But right after, she once again smiled bitterly. She was only a small manager, a customer of the night. She couldn't afford to offend him, as she was destined to fall today.

Yu Xi's body became hotter and hotter as the last bit of her rationality disappeared. She pulled the neck out of the man in front of her, turned around, and pressed the man down. Her red lips burned.

Until the tearing pain caused Yu Xi to wake up momentarily. She understood what had happened. There were still traces of tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

When she woke up the next day, Yu Xi felt as if her entire body had fallen apart. The pain reminded her that everything that had happened last night was not a dream.

Yu Xi propped herself up. The man beside her was still sleeping soundly, his perfect silhouette still transcending the world even in the dusty light.

Yu Xi slowly closed her eyes as she felt a burst of bitterness in her heart. Haha, perhaps she should be glad that it wasn't destroyed by those people.

The slight vibration pulled her back to reality. Looking at the caller ID, she frowned.

He wanted to put on his clothes and leave as soon as possible, but he found that his clothes were already tattered. He could only take the man's jacket and wrap it around his body before leaving the place quickly.

Along the way, she didn't pay any attention to the pointed fingers of the passersby or the contemptuous looks of guessing.

After getting into the taxi, she returned to her rented apartment, a ten square meter house.

The moment she got home, she threw her coat into the trash can and went into the bathroom to wash herself clean over and over again.

After that, he chose a set of mediocre clothes and changed into them.

He did not have any makeup, nor did he have a fake smile. Compared to the fragrance of the night, he looked like a completely different person.

Arriving at the hospital ward, she tidied up her appearance and knocked on the door. Upon entering, she saw her emaciated mother lying on the bed, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

"Xi Xi, are you working today?" Her face was still filled with the vicissitudes of life. It was obvious that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.

Yu Xi slowly walked over and sat by the side. She consciously picked up the apple and peeled it, "Today's company holiday."

"Xi Xi, Mom doesn't need you to take care of her, Mom …" "Cough, cough."

"Mom, are you alright?" She quickly put down the apple and looked at her anxiously, worry filling her eyes.

Wen Li signaled her not to worry. Just as she was about to say something, Yu Xi's phone rang again.

She frowned and hung up decisively, but Wen Li acted as if she knew who it was. "It's him, right?"

"Mom, I have nothing to do with him."

"Mom didn't say that you are related to him, why are you so anxious to explain?" Wenli looked at her daughter lovingly. The girl was old and she was happy to see her daughter talking about love. She also wanted her daughter to find someone who could take care of her and protect her for the rest of her life.

"Xi Xi, you don't have to come visit mom often. Mom is very well, you can work without worry. You finally entered the Forbidden Group, don't miss this chance to stand out. Mom has no ability and can't help you. You have to rely on yourself."

Yu Xi nodded obediently. The Fortress Group was the biggest company in the southern part of the city. She did indeed have a chance to enter, but she gave up.

Mom's illness required money, so once she joined the Fortress Group, she would have to start from the bottom. With just that little bit of salary, she wouldn't be able to afford the medical fees.

Therefore, she took her master's degree in management and went to the Night Fragrance.

Yu Xi left the hospital shortly after. Night Fragrance opened the door at 7 o'clock every night. As the manager, she had to be there by 2 o'clock every night.

As soon as she stepped out of the hospital door, she saw a familiar figure.

It was him, the man with her in the utility room.

Perhaps it was because her vision was burning hot, the man also looked over, but it was just a glance, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Also … He couldn't see her face in that dark place, and how could he remember her when he was still asleep when she left this morning?

Yu Xi didn't think anymore about it. She stopped a car and left in a hurry.

Not long after she got on the car, the man suddenly looked over, stared at the car leaving, and smiled.

The moment she stepped into the fragrance of the night, she could hear someone whispering to one another. Even the aunty who was sweeping the floor was looking at her weirdly.

"Did you know? Manager Yu slept with that boss last night. Initially, I thought that such a noble person would be willing to do anything for the sake of money in order to become the next head. What difference is there between him and us? "

"Alright, alright, stop talking. She's looking over."

Yu Xi slowly walked in front of the two of them, her voice clear and cold, yet pleasant to the ear. "Say what you just said again."
