If it wasn't for his mother, if it wasn't for getting more money, which woman would be willing to come to this kind of scene and make him feel unclean and despised by everyone?

However, Yu Xi knew that her life didn't give her the right to choose. She wasn't a lady of a noble family, nor was she a rich one. She could only struggle to survive in this opulent yet filthy building.

Even if she was never respected, she still had her own stubbornness and perseverance. She no longer cared about the way people looked at her. It didn't matter to her at all.

When others schemed against her, she had no choice but to scheme and think about how to preserve her remaining innocence in such a perilous environment.

However, in the end, she could not stand against fate's teasing and was innocent … Yu Xi's lips curved up in a self-deprecating smile. Her purity was probably worthless in the eyes of others. She couldn't help but find it funny. Did she have to thank fate for her chastity to be given to the handsome man standing at the top of the food chain?

Thinking of her words, Yu Xi's eyes were filled with a layer of confusion. The man who turned the tables on her was so far away, yet somehow appeared in her life. Suddenly, a magnetic voice echoed in her ears, "Be my woman."

Be his woman... Yu Xi was absent-minded for a moment. If she was his woman, this man who could cover the sky with his hand could just say a few words and bring her back here to continue working. However, she had lost her innocence because of her words. Was she going to lose her principle again because of him?

Yu Xi pondered for a moment and suddenly sneered. The nearby receptionist looked at her with a baffled expression, but she only smiled to herself. She laughed at her own absurdity and at her own foolishness.

Principles? What kind of laughable principles could exist at a time like this! Can you give her money? Can the principle allow the mother in the sickbed to continue to receive treatment?

Yu Xi, so it turns out that you're the dumbest person here! She mocked herself in her heart as she gently wiped away the tears of self-mockery on her face. She took out her cell phone and stared at the screen.

She had already made up her mind, but now she was hesitating. Remembering that she had previously rejected Yan Chen, she wasn't sure if Yan Chen still wanted her. She knew what she was doing, and if Yan Chen had already lost interest in her …

After taking a deep breath, she stopped thinking random thoughts. No matter what, she had to give it a try. This was her only chance. She didn't want to give herself a chance to go back on her words.

"What's the matter?" A simple and concise voice came over.

Yu Xi loosened her teeth that were tightly biting her lower lip. "Director Yan, I …"

Although she didn't finish her sentence, Chen Zhong still interrupted her with a cold tone, "I'm busy. I'm going to Liyuan to wait." She hung up without waiting for a reply.

Yu Xi silently put away her phone and stood there for a moment. She turned her body and looked deeply at the luxurious hall filled with the night fragrance. She no longer hesitated and left resolutely. Her slim and stubborn back gradually disappeared into the night.

It was already late at night and the cold wind was blowing on Yu Xi's body. She crossed her arms as she rubbed her shoulders and squatted in front of the villa. Her words had yet to return. She had no choice but to continue waiting.

In the silence, the sound of a car suddenly came from afar. Two beams of light shone straight towards them. Yu Xi's eyes narrowed as she raised a hand in front of her eyes to block the sound. The car stopped and the light suddenly went out. Yu Xi supported her knees as she slowly stood up. She moved her slightly numb legs slightly. She expressionlessly watched as Yan Chen's slender figure approached.

He directly opened the door, and Yu Xi quickly turned her body to the side. When he approached her, he smelt a dense cloud of smoke and dust, making Yu Xi scrunch her eyebrows together before quickly concealing her feelings.

Yan Chen walked into the villa. Without turning his head around, a deep voice filled with magnetism sounded, "Come in."

The hands hanging at her sides grabbed her skirt before releasing it. Yu Xi straightened her back and walked in. Yan Chen leaned against the sofa and noticed that she was standing next to it. He casually glanced at her and asked, "Speak, what's the matter?"

Yu Xi pondered for a moment before saying, "Today, your fiancée went to look for me at night."

Yan Chen didn't have much of an expression on his face when he heard this. He simply snorted disdainfully, "Bai Lansu? Ah, then? "

Unable to figure out what he was thinking, Yu Xi could only brace herself and continue, "She asked the boss to expel me."

Hearing this, Yu Xi's cold face changed a little. He turned his head and looked at Yu Xi with a dispassionate expression, his thin lips curling slightly. "Is that all?" You didn't wait until midnight to tell me about it. I always thought you were a crisp woman.

Yu Xi looked into his dark eyes and clenched her fists tightly. Her nails dug into her palms, and she tried her best to make her voice as calm as possible, saying softly, "Director Yan, I can be your woman. Similarly, I need your help."

Lifting his eyebrows slightly, the corners of Yan Chen's lips curled up in a playful arc, "Help? "What kind of help?"

"Let me return to the Night Fragrance."

Seeing Yu Xi's resolute expression, Yan Su still smiled. He clapped his hands and stood up to move in front of Yu Xi, then slightly bent down to look into her eyes. His eyes were full of ridicule and his tone was frivolous, "Talking terms with me, you're indeed a smart woman, but …"

Yu Xi's heart tightened, and she covered her ears with her lips. Her breath swept across her ears, and she deliberately suppressed her magnetic voice as she said, "Unfortunately, I'm already not interested."

Yu Xi felt the blood in her entire body churning, her face flushed red from her shame. She gritted her teeth fiercely. No matter how much she wanted to escape, she knew she couldn't.

Her legs looked like lead, her figure was still straight, but her head was lowered. She suppressed the astringency in her voice and said, "Director Yan, I was too arrogant before, but I really need this job. I can't leave the Night Fragrance."

He stood up straight and surveyed Yu Xi with his deep eyes. This woman had clearly resisted before, but now, even though she was firm and couldn't hide her deep resistance, now that she was standing here so stubbornly, he suddenly felt like he couldn't understand her.

His sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned as a trace of displeasure appeared on his face. "The relationship between you and me is only that of subordinates. What right do you have to think that I would accept a woman who rejected me?"
