In the luxurious presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel in H City, the room was expansive, exuding a sense of opulence. Soft music played from the sound system, and a warm orange lamp on the table filled the space with a cozy glow. Gentle moonlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a captivating aura throughout the room.

Pei Xinxiao felt as if she were dreaming, floating in a passionate haze. Confused, she groggily opened her eyes to see the man she had met just that morning—Shen Yunsheng! Startled, she pushed him away.

"Xinxiao, we..."

"Shen Yunsheng, you scoundrel! You creep!" she exclaimed.

Shen Yunsheng frowned, about to speak, but Xinxiao interrupted him again.

"To think I actually thought you were decent during our date today. I never expected you to do something like this!"

Pei Xinxiao, the eldest daughter of the Pei family, found herself on the dating scene due to a severe financial crisis facing Pei's Group. Her father, Pei Zhengjun, hoped she would find a wealthy suitor to help alleviate the company's urgent troubles.

Her date was none other than the notorious heir of the city's wealthiest family, Shen Yunsheng, infamously known as the scoundrel Young Master Shen.

"Xinxiao, I think you might have misunderstood! Please, let me explain."

Shen Yunsheng tried to recall everything that had happened earlier. That afternoon, he had indeed gone on a date with Pei Xinxiao. They chatted about her adventures as a travel journalist and discussed his new company that had just gone public on NASDAQ last month.

Overall, the date went very well. If everything went as expected, they would be married within two months, just as Pei Zhengjun and even Shen Yunsheng himself hoped. Why would he rush things by taking her to bed so soon?

Yet, the reality was that he had indeed slept with Pei Xinxiao. Although it was unexpected, he couldn't deny a slight thrill at the thought that this little woman was now his.

"Misunderstanding? After everything that's happened, you call it a misunderstanding? You... you... I really misjudged you! You're nothing but a flirtatious scoundrel!"

Pei Xinxiao clutched her towel tightly with one hand, pointing accusingly at Shen Yunsheng with the other, her words stumbling over each other in anger.

Shen Yunsheng's gaze lingered on her skin, still marked with traces of their night together, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. To Pei Xinxiao, however, that smile was nothing short of lecherous and sleazy. Her face flushed, and she quickly grabbed her clothes from the floor and dashed into the bathroom.

Lifting the covers, Shen Yunsheng noticed the small stains on the sheets, and his smile grew even wider. He was pleased to be Pei Xinxiao's first man, but the way he achieved it, knowing she despised him, left him feeling ashamed.

It was Zheng Siya who had invited him for a drink, telling him that Pei Xinxiao was waiting for him in the presidential suite upstairs to discuss their relationship after the arranged meeting. But when he woke up, he found himself in this situation with Pei Xinxiao...

The drink—there must have been something wrong with it!

He had been clear-headed the entire time, yet he hadn't anticipated this outcome.

There was definitely something wrong!

"Zheng Siya, how dare you set up Xinxiao. Fine, very well!"
