"You... Why are you using me like this" Sun Liangliang, seeing Li An nod at her, could no longer hold back her tears. She looked at him with infinite sorrow: "From the beginning to the end, you've only been using me and never liked me, right"

"Yes," Li An admitted frankly. Narrowing his eyes made his originally elongated phoenix-like eyes even more slender, resembling a fox in a somewhat sinister way. But what was revealed wasn't delicate charm but rather chilling ruthlessness.

Sun Liangliang looked up at Li An once and then dared not look again because there was something in his previously beautiful and captivating eyes that she dare not examine closely, which even made her forget to cry.

"Miss Sun, are you unsatisfied with this decision" Li An's prolonged trailing tone carried a hint of danger.

Sun Liangliang felt her heart tighten; she was genuinely frightened and dared not speak again, only watching Li An warily.

"Miss Sun, please don't be nervous. As long as you obediently follow my instructions, I won't do anything to harm you," Li An said with a half-smile, winking at Sun Liangliang.

Sun Liangliang nodded anxiously and fearfully.

Lian might have noticed that Sun Liangliang was nervous, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth again. However, an unfriendly smile was just sarcastic: "From the beginning to now, you should know how I’ve treated you, except for that night when I drank too much and overstepped my bounds. Other than that, I've always been courteous. For that night's offense, I’d like to say sorry here."

As she heard these words of apology, it felt as though a sharp blade had cut through her heart, causing blood to seep out thread by thread. Lian had never liked her; he merely used her as a prop. Her dream was shattered completely. Who knew how much genuine emotion she poured into this dream

Lian's thin lips moved slightly, still uttering the cruelest words: "You were just my co-star in a play, and what I paid you was far more than your normal earnings from films." He pointed at the contract on the table. "Being the lead actress under an internationally renowned director is something many people dream of. Even if someone sells themselves for such opportunities a hundred times over, they might not get them."

Upon hearing Lian's words, Sun Liangliang felt heartbroken and hopeless, wanting to resist and argue but feeling boundless pressure enveloping her body, slowly pressing down from the top of her head, making it hard for her to breathe.

"By telling you this today, I mean that our relationship ends here. Miss Sun, you're smart; we should part ways amicably. I hope you won’t mention any of these matters to anyone. Do you understand"

Lian's handsome face was cold and carved-like, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, adding a touch of ruthlessness to him. Such a Lian was someone that Sun Liangliang dared not resist.

Regardless of how sad or disappointed she felt in her heart, reality wasn’t an ideal world nor a white ivory tower; life didn't have such romantic things. Princes on white horses weren't common, and many were actually malevolent devils with ulterior motives. She had to bow down before the harsh realities.

Sun Liangliang resignedly nodded her head and softly replied, "Okay."

Lian handled the situation after Sun Liangliang transferred out of the restaurant and drove his car through the brightly lit city, feeling even emptier inside.

Without this connection to Sun Liangliang, he felt even more distant from Yan Luoxi.

Lian parked his car halfway up the mountain and sat in his own territory. The carefully arranged decor included magnificent crystal chandeliers, imported golden walls, expensive wine and delicacies, and women of various charms...

With money—especially an abundance of it—one could be as extravagant as they wished.

Today, Ming Zixi had taken Ruan Weijie out to talk about business. Lian chose to sit in a corner of the main hall with some friends for entertainment. They had bottles of red wine and beer placed before them; regardless of what kind of alcohol it was, as long as a lady nearby offered it to them, they would drink it heartily. In no time at all, over ten bottles had been finished.

The women seated around them were among the most beautiful in the place—each stunning and with first-rate figures; some were pure while others were seductive. The woman by Lian's side was called Luolu, who was breathtakingly beautiful, her figure curvaceous, every movement filled with charm; a man would be proud to have even shared a drink with Luolu.

Under dim lighting and the soothing aroma of alcohol, Lian’s face flushed slightly as his head started spinning. He sighed inwardly at how much worse his drinking capacity had become. But after downing a few glasses, he felt rather tipsy already. With eyes half-closed, he leaned back on the sofa, letting the woman pressed against him do whatever she pleased.

Luolu was a college graduate from a reputable school and worked here purely for money, but having received higher education, her thoughts were quite noble: wanting to earn money without compromising herself required her to excel in what she did.

Every woman secretly dreams of becoming a phoenix and flying high. The rather self-righteous Lulu felt her heart flutter the first time she saw Li An; she thought that perhaps her spring had finally arrived.

Lulu is not stupid. She knows that there can never be just one woman in Li An's life, so she has to seize every opportunity to keep herself by his side. The best way to make him dependent on her is not just through her skills but also by making him infatuated with her body and soul.

With years of experience in the pleasure quarters, Lulu knows men's bodies better than she knows her own. She thinks that as long as Li An gives her a chance to show what she can do, he will be enchanted by her.

The only thing currently worrying Lulu is Li An's unpredictable temperament; it seems no one here, including any of the wealthy patrons, could cater to his whims as well as she hopes.

Li An is a tough nut to crack. He looks down on you if you are nice to him and ignores you completely if you keep your distance. If you try to play hard to get, there will always be other women eager to climb the social ladder vying for his attention.

Lulu finds that it is incredibly difficult to become a woman in Li An's life and win his heart.

As Lulu sees Li An slightly tipsy and relaxed at this moment, she boldly reaches out to touch him, nervously rubbing his body over its sensitive spots while carefully observing his expression.

Just as they are immersed in a world of opulence, loud voices suddenly erupt from the main hall. Li An, lying on his back with his eyes closed, opens them irritably upon hearing the commotion.w much he loves the child and can't bear to part with her; he wishes he could stare at his daughter 24/7. Even if you leave the Li family far away and run to the ends of the earth, Li An won't let you...
