Two people's silhouettes could be seen coming out of a black limited edition van parking in front of a certain hotel. After exchanging a few words with some staffs, they immediately went inside, registered their names, and went to the 50th floor.

"Remember, Yun Xie. Behave well. If you need something just call me, okay?" Yun Lian strictly reminded his daughter. Yun Xie wonders, just what kind of party is this? Even needing her to behave well. Isn't it natural to be well-behaved when you're in social gatherings?

Oh, well. What else can she say? The past Yun Xie was a childish, big troublemaker. She silently nodded in response.

Even though they are still a few steps away from the white and elegant double door, Yun Xie can already hear the loud music from the party. Her beautiful face crunched slightly. Is the party a club type? Hopefully, there won't be any cabbage women* inside.

(*Basically 'cheap' women)

Opening the door, most of the people turned their attentions on Yun Lian and Yun Xie's way.

"Oho! Old Lian is finally here!" A mature voice belonging to a very wealthy-looking middle-aged man suddenly bellows. "Arriving in a late manner is naturally you." And a hearty laughter followed.

The two men quickly submerged in their own worlds, making Yun Xie on the side out of place. Not wanting to be a goat by the side of a pair of pigs*, she found an empty table on the very nook of the hotel. Yun Xie decided to just sit there until everything's over. She will then plan her next step after this.

(*Still means 'out of place')

Walking towards the table, the people's gazes, stares, and glances followed Yun Xie. Watching her walk was just like adding oil to the fire of desire within the men in the party. So graceful, so elegant, yet seductive at the same time.

Arriving, Yun Xie still did not by the least give them any care. Calmly sitting and letting people experience her cold and aloof temperament, made them think that Yun Xie was a very mature teenager.

Of course she's mature. Who are, in the age of 26, not matured?

Unlike in any other empty tables, Yun Xie's table already has a cup of wine glass with a wine already inside. It just seems not like the others' whose wine glasses are just plain and plain grape coloured wine. What's on her table was a golden wine glass with intricate designs on its stand and a clear cherry red wine inside.

Seeing this, Yun Xie was even more inclined in drinking the wine. Elegantly holding the wine glass and putting it on her lips made the people that saw her gasp in unknown reasons. Still, Yun Xie was not disturbed by this and continued to drink the wine.

Mhm! It was delicious, indeed.

"My wine's the best ones here. I hope it suits your tastes." Suddenly, a husky voice entered Yun Xie's ears. Turning her head to look behind her, Yun Xie creased her brows after seeing a gorgeous man.

The man has a mysterious air around him that further makes his appeal increase. He has a messy jet black hair that made him look seductively rebellious. His dark and thick eyebrows were shaped daintily. He has an eagle-like narrow and sharp eyes paired with long lashes and black pupils. With his tall nose and enigmatic smile, he is the definition of handsomeness.

No, looking at him with his black and neat tuxedo, 'perfect' can barely even describe him. Yet, Yun Xie further furrowed her already creased brows.

"Your wine? Pardon?" Squinting her feminine eyes, Yun Xie looked even more dazzling. The man cannot help but chuckle when he saw her like this. Walking towards her with a mysterious aura and fire in his eyes, made him look like a hungry wolf eyeing his soon-to-be-food prey.

"That wine glass you're holding is mine. That wine you're drinking is mine, and I already drank from it." The man stood just behind Yun Xie and whispered while his slender fingers traced the glass' rim. Hmm-ing, he stated, "This could be considered an indirect kiss."

The people that surrounded the two suddenly errupted into quiet discussions after seeing them. Some were squealing and some were grunting.

Yun Xie's face immediately became red as a tomato. Even more did it add a layer of red tinge after she felt the man's breath on her ear. Even though Yun Xie can control her temperament, she can barely stand on the same floor right now. Yun Xie only knows how to slay zombies for the past ten years of her last life. She was but innocent to these kinds of things!

A chuckle was again heard. The man behind her a while ago was now sitting in front of her. "It's okay. I'm not mad or anything. You can drink that." Pointing on the glass of wine that Yun Xie was holding, he can't help but laugh lightly because of her red face.

Yun Xie felt shameful enough to wish something unsightly. Right, she wants to kill the man in front of her. For Yun Xie, he is just comparable to a zombie grooming himself. Right, that's it!

Putting the glass back on the table, Yun Xie regained her calmness and calmly stated, "It was my fault. How do you want me to pay you back?" Even for a bit, she definitely does not want to owe someone something. Even a penny.

"Come to think of it..." The man trailed off. His thinking gesture making Yun Xie squint her eyes, as if threatening the man to take it easy on her. The guy just chuckled with her behaviour. "That wine glass you were holding was priced for almost a million, and the wine you were drinking was a million and a half."

Yun Xie's eyes quickly became lively as she calmly said, "Rest assured. I will pay you back–" But she was cut off by the man.

"Both were mine. And if you also become mine, then that would make it even more better." Raising his right hand on the table and leaning his chin against it made him look incredibly handsome. And Yun Xie could not help but grit her teeth in anger.

Yun Xie was seething in irritation as she thought, 'Am I that comparable to a two million and five hundred thousand?!'
