Twelve years later

The night is cool as water.

Under the hazy moonlight, there is always an ambiguity hidden. So it is in this room shrouded in darkness, where two people writhe and entangle with each other.

But a closer look revealed that the man's brow was clear yet with a fleeting moment of confusion. He was experiencing satisfaction in the present, while the other person seemed lost in the intoxication of their feelings. Gazing at his handsome and cold face, those deep black eyes like polished obsidian drawing one into them, along with the breaths they shared and the man's low, gravelly voice, made her feel like she possessed the entire world.

In a state of intoxication, he unconsciously longed to kiss that man who fueled his desires with a frenzied passion. This man was the object of his lifelong pursuit. With him, he could find complete satisfaction. To him, there was nothing more fulfilling than this.

Just as that alluring red was about to kiss the dreamlike, maddeningly beautiful moment, it suddenly and abruptly vanished. Then, the man lying on top shivered violently, jolting the hazy person awake in an instant.

Tell me. I forgot, truly forgotten, that place where one shouldn't be, that place that drove me to madness. For so many years, I was able to stay by his side because I knew what to do and what not to do. But just now, I forgot. Was it the night that made me lose myself, or was it the man in front of me who was too captivating?

"Andre, Xin Ya, you really keep me on my toes today. His voice was low and cold in the darkness, as always. But those who knew him could hear the displeasure hidden within."

He entered the bathroom as if he were alone, the air suddenly dropping to freezing. That alluring beauty who made men willing to die for her stood there, staring at the dazzling crystal chandelier on the ceiling, but her heart was filled with a chilling grief. She looked at the closed bathroom door, bewildered. She couldn't understand why the man she had just been entangled with could so easily and carelessly leave.

Tonight was definitely out of control. I couldn't help but go to his place and call his name, but my heart couldn't settle down. I couldn't help but lose control. When I heard from Leng Feng that Leng Yan was going back to China, it became difficult for me to control myself. All these years of hard work have been in vain? Does he really not have even a tiny bit of space for me in his heart?

No way.

No!

Even the peerless Li Lengyan, who nobody could resist, had gone mad once. How could he possibly not care!

He has always gotten whatever he wanted, even when it came to something as cold and aloof as Lengxin Ya. Even for this man who was like a god in their hearts, they were deeply entwined for over ten years. He shuttled through countless people, but their bond remained unwavering. They depended on each other, so perfectly matched and harmonious. After so many years of effort, how could it possibly compare to that girl who had only known him for a few years?

Thinking here, Leng Xin'ya retracted the unease on her face and the anxiety in her heart. Her enchanting countenance, under the night's illumination, appeared so resolute and determined.

But he forgot that not everyone is attracted by beautiful looks, nor can they achieve success just by being confident. Some things are destined to happen, and some things cannot be forced!
