Christmas Eve, 1984
A boeing 747 from Taiwan to Canada was sailing smoothly over the vast Pacific Ocean.
"Daddy, Mommy, come and see. There are so many seagulls outside!”The little girl sat by the window, staring at the flock of seagulls flying by. An excited and cute smile appeared on her tender face.
The little girl's parents looked at each other, their eyes full of love for their children.
"Huanhuan! Tell daddy what you want for Christmas, and daddy will definitely buy it for you.”Hua Zhanxiang looked at his precious daughter who had two braids tied up.
The little girl turned to her father and naively stated her wish."I want teddy bear dolls and Barbie dolls.”
"Yes! Daddy will take Huanhuan to buy it when we get to Canada, okay?”
"Good! Daddy is the best. Chenchen likes daddy the most.”The little girl happily kissed Hua Zhanxiang's face.
"Daddy likes Huanhuan very much too! You and little brother are the most important treasures of daddy and mommy.”Hua Zhanxiang gently caressed his precious daughter's pink cheek.
At this moment, the sleeping baby suddenly burst into tears.
"Yao Yao, be good. Don't cry. Mommy will make grandma for you to drink. Be good, don't cry!”Qiu Huici comforted the baby boy in her arms while talking to Hua Zhanxiang beside her,""Hubby! Help me make milk. Yao Yao is hungry.”
"Alright, I'll go right away." Hua Zhanxiang took out the milk powder and milk bottle from the bag, left his seat, and walked to the air hostess.
A few minutes later, he returned to his seat and handed the brewed milk to his wife.
The little girl jumped off the chair and walked towards her mother. "Mommy, I want to feed my brother some fish, okay?”
Qiu Huici nodded in agreement and handed the baby in her arms and the milk bottle to the little girl.
The little girl carefully hugged that soft body, her eyes filled with love for her younger brother. A child hugging another child, the scene was really cute and warm.
Suddenly, the stable plane began to shake unsteadily…
The more it shook, the more intense it became, and the more terrifying it became…
In the summer of 1995, the sun was setting in Shanghai
The man's worried roar filled the huge living room. "Where's Young Madam? Where did he go? Why hasn't he returned yet?”
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't ask where Young Madam was going.”Butler Luo said apologetically.
"When did Young Madam go out?”Pu Yuchen sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
"Young Madam went out at noon and never came back after that. She didn't say where she was going, but she said she was going out for a walk.”Uncle Luo replied.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
"Yuchen, I heard that Zhong Huici went missing.”The person who spoke was Wu Yongxi, Pu Yuchen's special assistant and his classmate in high school and university.
Pu Yuchen frowned, worried that something would happen to his beloved wife.
"Don't worry about that woman. Take a look at this first!”Wu Yongxi placed a kraft paper bag in front of Pu Yuchen.
"I'm not in the mood." Pu Yuchen only glanced at the kraft paper bag and had no intention of knowing what was inside. His heart was hanging on Zhong Huici who had not returned.
"I've had enough of you. What's so good about that woman? What exactly did you fall in love with her for? I really don't understand." Wu Yongxi grabbed his collar and pulled him up from the sofa, yelling in confusion.
Pu Yuchen had been hanging around women since high school. He changed his bed partner as fast as changing clothes. One by one, he never stopped. Many women even took the initiative to climb into his bed. However, after meeting Zhong Huici, he changed his image as a love-boy and became the standard husband of the Gu family.
Wu Yongxi didn't think there was anything wrong with this change, but what made him angry was-why was it that woman?
Everyone around him knew that Zhong Huici was with him for his money. She had no good intentions, but that idiot…
"Because Hui Ci is kind, I love her.”Pu Yuchen pulled Wu Yongxi's hand away.
When he first saw Zhong Huici, he was deeply attracted by her gentle and graceful temperament. So when he found out that she had his own child, he married her without a word and loved her even more after marriage.
"Humph! Kindness? That kind of slut is also called kind? Are you blind or have you been bewitched by her?”Wu Yongxi snorted disdainfully.
"Yongxi, you're not allowed to say that about Hui Ci in the future. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you. She's a rare good woman.”Pu Yuchen warned his good friend to protect his wife.
"A good woman? After you finish reading these things, you will understand how "kind" she is.”Wu Yongxi picked up the kraft paper bag and angrily threw out all the things inside, spreading them on the red cypress tea table.
Pu Yuchen hesitated for a moment before picking up the photo on the table.
The intimate appearance of the man and woman in the photo made him widen his eyes in shock. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The female lead in the photo was his most beloved woman, but the male lead wasn't him, but his sworn enemy in his career.
"Yongxi, what's going on?”
"As you can see, that woman betrayed you and even used you. I think she has already stolen the information you used to participate in the bidding.”
The ringing of the phone interrupted Pu Yuchen, who was about to speak.
"Young Master, Miss Suoya said she has something urgent to talk to you about.”Uncle Luo respectfully handed the phone to Pu Yuchen.
"What is it?"
"Yuchen, things are bad. I just received news that the land was snatched away by Shao Corporation. I heard that Shao Zhihan won the bid because he got help from a woman, and that woman was Zhong Huici.”Li Suoya said anxiously.
Pu Yuchen was so shocked that the microphone in his hand fell to the ground.
"Damn woman, how dare she betray me. One day, I will make her pay for everything.”He muttered angrily and clenched his fists. His dark gray eyes were filled with hatred for Zhong Huici.
In 1999, the Celestial Dynasty, Beijing
The cold wind was biting, and the crowds were bustling through the streets. A white sports car stopped in front of an 80-story building.
The woman in the car was staring through the window at the tallest commercial building within a hundred miles.
Hua Lin-manages all the five-star tourist hotels or holiday centers, more than ten chain large-scale department stores, and five super-large theme parks under the " Love Lock Empire " located in major tourist attractions around the world. Its amusement facilities far surpass the world-famous amusement park. In recent years, it has become the world's favorite amusement paradise. At the age of 20, she is the world's leading food critic.
Her other identity was a member of the underground assassin organization,"Soul Requesting", codenamed "Jingyu".
More than ten years ago, Hua Lin's family had planned to go to Canada for a wonderful Christmas holiday, but they encountered turbulence during the flight. Almost everyone from the captain to the passengers died. The only one who survived was her, who was only four years old.
Although she managed to save her life, the young her was still tormented by the merciless sea. Her small body drifted in the vast Pacific Ocean for a long time... Finally, she was pushed by the waves to a private island in the Pacific Ocean.
When the former leader of the soul search team saw the unconscious Hua Lin Xi on the beach, he immediately brought her back to the villa and invited the world's famous doctors to treat her. The wounded and weak Hua Lin Xi slowly recovered under the perfect care.
The kindness of the former leader and the sincere care of his companions allowed Hua Lin Xi, who had lost everything, to find a new support. He slowly stood up from the huge blow and lived until now.
The reason why she came to Beijing today was to discuss a cooperation plan. The day before she arrived, she had asked Han Bing to investigate the basic information of the partner.
Pu Yuchen was the current president of the " Yu Group " and one of the top ten richest businessmen in the world. He was about 30 years old and had the blood of the Qing Dynasty aristocrats. He was a world-famous real estate tycoon and had a high status in the real estate industry. His shrewd business mind and superb communication skills were famous all over the world.
There was a rumor about him in the business world. It was said that as long as he personally went out, there was no business that could not be negotiated. No matter how difficult the job was, he could always settle it effortlessly.
This was the truth. In the past five years, his business performance had become more and more outstanding. In the past one or two years, he had reached the peak of perfection. In the real estate industry, no one could compete with him except for the Love Locking Empire.
He was handsome and rich, and he was also the object of women's love. Many women even used all means to climb into his bed, hoping to become his guest.
After staring at it for a few minutes, Hua Lin turned off the engine, left the car, and walked into the building.
As soon as she stepped into the building, her gentle and extraordinary temperament immediately attracted the attention of everyone. They whispered about the unfamiliar woman in front of them.
They guessed that she was probably the CEO's new lover.
Hua Linxue didn't care about the curious eyes that were looking at her and walked to the counter with a smile on her face. "Miss, is your CEO here? I have something to talk to him about."
"Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked in a business-like manner.
"Yes, my name is Hua Lin."
The receptionist made a call. After speaking for a while, she put down the receiver and immediately stood up. She politely pointed to the elevator on the right. "Miss Hua, please take the rightmost elevator to the 80th floor. Our CEO is waiting for you in his office.”
Hua Lin nodded at her and thanked her before turning around and walking towards the elevator.
Three minutes later, she arrived at the top floor. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, a man in a brown suit walked straight towards her.
"Zhong Huici, why are you here?”Walking to the elevator door, the familiar face made Wu Yongxi's eyes widen in surprise. He stared blankly for a few seconds before he angrily questioned.
"Sir, I think you've got the wrong person. I'm not Zhong Huici. My name is Hua Lin. I have something to ask of your CEO.”Although she was being yelled at for no reason, she still had a gentle and pleasant smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”Wu Yongxi apologized.
"It's alright." Hua Linxue shook his head generously, not minding his disrespectful behavior at all.
"Then I'm relieved. I'm the CEO's special assistant, my name is Wu Yongxi. I'll bring you to see our CEO now.”Wu Yongxi introduced himself first, then led Hua Linxue to the office at the end.
Too similar, too similar, Wu Yongxi muttered to himself. He couldn't believe that there were two people in the world who were so similar. Whether it was looks or figures, this woman he had never met before was simply a replica of Zhong Huici. However, there was a big difference between them. Her smile gave people a comfortable feeling. It was a smile from the bottom of her heart, unlike that hateful woman who was hypocritical and even disgusting.
She wondered how Yuchen would react when he saw her. He hoped that nothing would happen.
Wu Yongxi knocked on the door. "Yu Chen, it's me."
"Come in!" Pu Yuchen said indifferently.
Wu Yongxi opened the door and made an 'please' gesture, letting Hua Linxue enter the office first before he walked in.
Hua Lin looked at the tall figure standing in front of the French window, then looked at Wu Yongxi beside him. "Mr. Woo, is he the person I'm looking for?”
Wu Yongxi nodded. "Yuchen, I brought Miss Hua here.”
Hearing this, Pu Yuchen slowly turned around. His cold and evil face stirred up a small ripple in Hua Lin's calm heart.
Hua Lin calmed his slightly disordered breathing and walked towards him. He took the initiative to reach out his hand and smiled gently at him.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Hua Lin Xin from the Love Locking Empire.”
Pu Yuchen didn't respond. He was cold and silent, staring at her with hatred.
Although he knew that the woman in front of him was not the woman he was thinking of, the similarity still made him feel intense anger. His hatred for Zhong Huici had long been deeply rooted in his heart, and he could not pull it out.
Suddenly, a cruel plan flashed through his mind.
Seeing that he had not moved, Wu Yongxi coughed twice.
This time, Pu Yuchen finally reacted. He signaled Wu Yongxi to leave the office with his eyes.
After Wu Yongxi left, Pu Yuchen reached out to grab Hua Lin's hand that had yet to retract. "Hello, Miss Hua. I'm Pu Yuchen. I'm sorry. I was a little lost in thought just now.”
Hua Lin looked down at the two of them holding hands, confusion written all over her beautiful face.
Just now, she could clearly see the hatred in his eyes, but it was their first time meeting today! She didn't understand why he was looking at her like that.
What was going on? Could it be…related to that woman called Zhong Huici?
He leaned towards her, and the two of them were only a palm's distance away. His masculine breath kept blowing on her fair cheeks.
Hua Linxue turned her face away in a panic. Her heart was beating wildly for no reason. She quickly withdrew her hand and took a few steps back, trying to pull away from him. She almost fell back. Fortunately, Pu Yuchen was quick and held her slender waist in time. Nothing happened to her.
"Thank you, Mr. Pu. Can you please take your hand away?”Although she was very grateful for his help, the constant warmth from his hand still made her feel uncomfortable.
However, he did not let her go as she wished. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and smiled evilly. He gently caressed her delicate face as she climbed up the red cloud and pretended to be concerned."Miss Hua, are you alright? Your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell?”
"No…I'm fine, thank you.”His touch made Hua Lin's heart beat faster.
"Are you really alright?" Pu Yuchen pressed his lips against her ear and asked in a low voice. He deliberately blew air into her ear and even licked her small earlobe evilly.
His actions made her delicate body tremble.
"Mr. Pu, please show some respect. I'm here to discuss business today.”She pushed him away forcefully and retreated to the desk about a meter away from him. Her tone was very unhappy.
Hua Lin Xin had always been very gentle and never got angry, but this rude man in front of her easily provoked her anger.
She had long heard of Pu Yuchen's playfulness and playfulness. His outstanding appearance and charming voice would indeed make a woman involuntarily fall for him. Even she could not resist it. When their eyes met, her heart actually fluctuated quite a bit and she almost fell into the magic net he had set up.
She had come here today for work. This cooperation plan was very important to the company and to her. This was their first step into the mainland market, so it had to succeed. She must not lose her mind at this time. She had to calm down.
However, the residual warmth on his body still made Hua Lin lose his composure, and he could not calm down.
"If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Then let's talk about the content of this cooperation!”Pu Yuchen shrugged and sat down on the sofa as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that Hua Linxue was still standing there in a daze, he called out,""Miss Hua."
Hearing his call, she quickly calmed her chaotic heartbeat, bit her lower lip, took a deep breath, and walked in his direction.
She sat on the single-seater sofa and took out the information of the cooperation plan from her briefcase. After handing one of them to Pu Yuchen, she began to explain the contents of the cooperation.
"I think Mr. Pu, you should have heard of the 'Love Lock' theme park', right? I plan to build one in Beijing as well, and a vacation center next to it. I found a very suitable piece of land about an hour's drive from here. After my investigation, I found that the land belongs to your company, so I hope to buy it from you. As for the price, I'll leave it to you to decide.”
If this cooperation plan was successful, this theme park in Beijing would definitely become a famous tourist attraction in the future. At the same time, it would also inject a shot in the arm for China's tourism industry, which had been gradually declining in recent years, and even create a new economic miracle.
Pu Yuchen didn't say a word and just listened quietly.
The alluring fragrance that lingered in his nose made his lower abdomen feel hot. He wanted to strip her immediately and have sex with her on the bed. Although he had too much desire for her body, he decided to endure it. He did not want to scare away the prey he had set his eyes on because of a moment of impulse.
Ever since " that incident," he had become very cautious in doing things. He was so cautious in running his business, and even more so when it came to women.
Anyway, there were still many opportunities to meet in the future. There was no need to rush. He wanted to cast a long line to catch the " mermaid " and bait her step by step. After she fell in love with him, then...
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The observant Hua Lin Xin naturally noticed his malicious sneer. She subconsciously protected her body, fearing that he would do something even more outrageous than just now.
As a member of the Soul Seeker, it was natural for her to have agile skills. It should be quite easy for her to escape from him, but for some reason, when Pu Yuchen leaned towards her, her whole body and heart were in chaos.
Just now, Pu Yuchen had only gently hugged her, but she had spent a lot of effort to break free from his grip.
After this cooperation ended, he had to escape from this dangerous demon as soon as possible. He absolutely could not be subdued by his magic power. If she gave her heart to such a man, she would be the one who would be hurt in the end.
Hua Lin Xin had finished speaking for a while, but Pu Yuchen still did not express any opinion. He just stared straight at her. Although his eyes were cold and heartless, they were strangely mesmerizing. It made people unable to look away from his face, making her forget what to say.
Just like that, the room fell silent.
After more than ten minutes of silence, Pu Yuchen finally moved. He stood up and walked to the single-seater sofa. He held the blushing Hua Lin between his arms and looked down at her misty starry eyes.
Great, the fish had taken the bait.
Suddenly, without warning, he kissed her red lips playfully.
Hua Lin Xue stared at him in surprise and desperately tried to push him away, but he didn't expect that it would speed up his invasion, making his plunder even more arrogant and intense.
He pried open her trembling teeth, and his cold tongue thirsted for her slightly fearful sweetness. He sucked without a trace of emotion, until the second before the oxygen in her lungs was almost sucked dry by him, he willingly left her lips.
However, this was only the first step of his plan. Pu Yuchen swore in his heart that he would make this woman submit to him. Not only her seductive body, but also her heart.
She was destined to be his, and she could not escape. Unless he was tired of playing with her and did not want her anymore, she would never be able to escape from his palm.
That superb kissing skill confused Hua Lin Xue's thoughts, and he leaned weakly on the sofa.
"Miss Hua, Miss Hua…" Pu Yuchen stood up and called out.
His call made her lost soul find the way home.
"What…what's the matter?" The remaining warmth on her mouth made her heartbeat and breathing, which had finally returned to normal, become rapid again. It was even more chaotic than before.
Pu Yuchen expressionlessly picked up the documents on the table and quickly read through them.
"If your company wants to buy that piece of land, there's no problem. As for the price, I'll ask the accounting department to estimate it before informing you. I hope we can work together happily.”He reached out and held her trembling hand.
The electric current from his palm ran through Hua Lin Xin's entire body. She quickly retracted her hand and quickly picked up the folder and bag, ready to escape from this dangerous space.
"Mr. Pu, thank you. I'm sorry, but I have something else to do, so I have to leave first.”
"Okay, see you next time." Pu Yuchen walked to the door, opened the door for Hua Lin, and said goodbye with a smile.
Hua Linxue avoided those eyes that were filled with fatal attraction and dashed out of the office.
See you next time! No, please don't meet again.
Hua Linxue planned to hand over the heavy responsibility of negotiating with Yuyu to her subordinates. She was only responsible for supervising the work. She was no longer willing to enter this building, nor did she want to have anything to do with him. From then on, the two of them were just parallel lines that had no intersection.
That man's charm was too terrifying. She had to control her heart and quickly erase that charming face from her mind. She definitely couldn't indulge in it.
Absolutely not, absolutely not…
Hua Lin Xin reminded himself again and again.
But could everything really go as she wished?
No! Of course not, because the red thread of fate had already tightly entangled the two of them. They could not be pulled apart or cut.#
