Chen Fang was somewhat bewildered at that moment.

By the time he had come to his senses, Zhong Xiqian was already seizing what she sought.

His heart skipped a beat.

And he reciprocated eagerly.

Without any forewarning, the two were wrapped in each other's arms, sharing a passionate kiss that could move heaven and earth.

A full five minutes.

It was only then that both of them parted.

Zhong Xiqian said, "Ah Fang, I've found out why you distanced yourself from me before. Dad told me. He warned you the first time we met, didn't he? To stay away from me?"

This revelation shook Chen Fang to the core.

He didn't know what had happened, or why Zhong Pan had disclosed such a thing to Zhong Xiqian.

"After we last parted, I've been quite downcast. Dad noticed my unusual mood, and after his persistent questioning, I finally told him that I liked you."

"Your dad didn't agree, did he?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhong Xiqian nodded sadly, saying, "He said he wouldn't interfere with us dating, but he didn't agree to having you become our family's son-in-law."

Her eyes reddened as she spoke.

Chen Fang sighed deeply and asked, "Not interfering with our dating means it's fine to play around, but nothing serious, right?"

"Right!"

Zhong Xiqian candidly replied.

"Then there must be some condition, right?"

"Yes, as long as I agree to take over Sen Can Group, that will suffice—and I agreed,"

said Zhong Xiqian.

This answer shocked Chen Fang once again.

Zhong Xiqian had said that she didn't want to take over the group, not wanting to be bound by the company her whole life, like her father—losing her freedom and under tremendous pressure daily, wealthy but puppet-like.

But now, for Chen Fang's sake, she had capitulated.

A wave of emotion surged in his heart.

He embraced Zhong Xiqian and said, "Qianqian, honestly, I don't deserve you."

"It doesn't matter. I know there's no hope for us to be together forever, but if I don't fight for this brief happiness, I would be too much of a failure. I've been thinking about going to Wen'an City to find you, but I couldn't muster the courage. Fate has been kind to let us meet again. That's enough for me,"

Zhong Xiqian spoke earnestly from her heart.

In that instant, the gap between them completely dissolved.

They talked a lot on the way.

What was supposed to be a two-hour drive ended in the blink of an eye.

Upon arriving at the Wen'an City dormitory.

Zhong Xiqian said to the two bodyguards, "You two can go back first. When I need you to pick me up, I will call."

The bodyguards seemed troubled.

Yet, they eventually left after being scolded by Zhong Xiqian.

Watching the car disappear, Chen Fang asked, "Do you plan to stay with me?"

Zhong Xiqian smiled and asked, "What? Not welcoming me?"

"Welcoming, of course, but your dad..."

"Forget him. Let's go."

Watching Zhong Xiqian's capricious behavior, Chen Fang was at a loss for words for the moment.

It was around twelve o'clock at night.

Luckily, the Qingfeng Garden apartment had two bedrooms and one living room.

Chen Fang arranged a room for Zhong Xiqian.

After handing her some fresh towels and toiletries, they each retired to their own rooms to rest.

Lying in bed, Chen Fang tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Not because Zhong Xiqian had disrupted his mood, but because he was imagining how to execute the plan that lay ahead.

The best plans are elaborate, the better ones are blunt and straightforward.

In the next few days,

Qi Kexin would invite Lin Yiqi to Wen'an City.

He intentionally alerted the security to the possibility of Lin Yiqi messing around outside.

That way, the already suspicious Cai Xiaodong would also follow Lin Yiqi to the city.

By that time, Chen Fang was ready to take a hard-line approach to keep Cai Xiaodong around, stirring up a storm that would shake the upper echelons directly.

Truth be told.

The plan was quite risky.

In this power struggle, Chen Fang's chances of winning were low, and if he failed, not only would his career in politics come to an end, but he would also fall into an abyss of no return.

"May I come in?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

It was Zhong Xiqian's voice.

Chen Fang was startled.

He climbed out of bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and said, "The door isn't locked."

Click.

The doorknob was turned.

Zhong Xiqian, wrapped in a bath towel and barefooted, walked in.

Her body was adorned with droplets of water, her skin as smooth and lustrous as jade, glowing with a faint blush, like peach blossoms in the early bloom, delicate and dripping with allure.

Her long hair, wet and clinging to her back, cascaded down like a waterfall, every strand sparkling with crystal-clear droplets under the moonlight, making her appear even more ethereally beautiful.

The bath towel was very short.

It barely reached the tops of her thighs.

Her long legs swayed tantalizingly before his eyes.

Chen Fang couldn't help but marvel, what a vision of a beauty emerging from a bath.

He licked his lips and asked, "What's up?"

Zhong Xiqian was somewhat bashful, her voice timid as she said, "I... I want to sleep with you."

Sleep together?

Chen Fang's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could figure out how to respond.

The bath towel was undone by Zhong Xiqian.

She tossed it directly onto the floor.

The breathtaking figure was thus exposed before his eyes.

Her tender, elevated breasts, the untouched hollows of her body.

And a physique without an ounce of excess fat.

It seemed as if heaven had piled its finest "materials" onto this woman's body, emitting a faint yet heart-stopping beauty.

She took a step forward.

Slowly walking towards Chen Fang.

For him, it felt as if his breathing had stopped.

Just a few hours ago, he had gotten off the body of the woman he'd idolized since childhood.

Although Lin Yiqi's body was enough to amaze him, compared to Zhong Xiqian, it seemed to be lacking by far.

She sat down beside Chen Fang, her movements awkward and shy, she asked in a whisper, "Ah Fang, can you take me?"

Chen Fang knew.

At that moment, all he had to do was nod.

This billion-dollar heiress could be pressed beneath him and ravaged.

But he didn't want to do that.

Zhong Xiqian was different from other women; she was devoted and pure-hearted, and once he truly had her, she would only have eyes for him for the rest of her life.

There was no future for them together.

Just like there was no future between him and many other women, but the nature of it was completely different.

"Can I just hold you while we sleep?"

Chen Fang asked.

When Zhong Xiqian heard this, she started a bit and asked, puzzled, "Don't you want me?"

"It's not that, I am a man, a normal man, and any man would like your body. I'm no exception. You're like a beautifully packaged doll, and I feel that if I were to open it, it would have to be on an even more wonderful night. What do you think?"

True to form, that was Chen Fang.

As soon as his flowery speech was finished.

Zhong Xiqian said with bashful delight, "I'll listen to you."
