Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 591 Conquest
When Qi Jiayi opened her eyes, the clock on the wall pointed to nearly 11 a.m., but outside the window it was still drizzling and the sky was gloomy, as if the night had not completely receded.

As a coastal city, Hong Kong Island experiences rainy weather for more than three months of the year. Qi Jiayi, who has lived in the north for many years, is not used to the dim, gloomy skies even at midday, but what she is even less used to is...

Or perhaps it was that arm that pierced through her smooth ribs and reached a certain spot.

When was the last time I shaved my armpits?

Qi Jiayi thought back for a moment and confirmed that she had just gone to a SPA center for hair removal before coming to Hong Kong Island, which put her at ease.

Then she chuckled to herself, realizing what she was thinking.

How could I possibly care about something like this?
This is unlike her usual carefree yet lonely life.

But looking back on everything that has happened since last night, in this small space, which one of them really resembles her?
She remembered that in the middle of the night, thunder suddenly started outside the window, the thunder rumbling loudly. With the help of the thunder, she, who had long been unable to bear it, finally opened her lips and let out those sharp screams after Zhou Wang kept urging her.

Various tones of "husband," and those shameful ones that Zhou Wang would repeat after her every time he said them—sentences of varying lengths that could make even a professional prostitute blush and her heart race.

Zhou Wang chuckled and leaned down to whisper in her ear that he wanted to help Qi Jiayi fill in the gaps in her childhood.

Qi Jiayi was initially confused, until Zhou Wang raised his palm and then brought it down heavily. At the same time, Qi Jiayi, who was filled with shame, anger and indescribable complex feelings, finally understood what Zhou Wang meant.

But she had to admit that this experience was indeed unique to Qi Jiayi in her life.

What Qi Jiayi found most unacceptable was when Zhou Wang instructed her to bend over.

Her dignity as a highly educated person and her long-standing independent thinking prevented her from kneeling down and trying to please a man in such an unconventional way. But she didn't know what was wrong with her. She was clearly resisting, but by the time she realized it, Zhou Wang was already grabbing her hair and forcing her to call him "husband."

"good."

That single word seemed to possess immense magic, causing Qi Jiayi to unconsciously turn over.

After tonight's experience, a hint of curiosity, which Qi Jiayi could not deny, had begun to stir in her usually calm heart.

She inexplicably wanted to know more, to experience more, to know how others experienced that kind of thing, whether everyone felt this way, or if it was just her...

Was Zhou Wang lying to him? Was it really true that only by cooperating openly and honestly could they show the greatest respect for each other?

24 hours ago, Qi Jiayi probably would never have been interested in these questions, and might even have felt disgusted at the mere mention of them.

Even now, though she has calmed down considerably, she still finds it unbelievable how she looked last night. If Zhou Wang were to ask her to do it again now, she would most likely refuse without hesitation.

As Qi Jiayi was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

Realizing she was being threatened, Qi Jiayi felt awkward and at a loss, so she could only close her eyes and pretend to be dead.

But seeing that she didn't react for a long time, the man behind her started to take advantage of her. Qi Jiayi's eyes widened instantly. She had a strong premonition that if she didn't react at all, this bastard would really disregard everything and even if she was still not awake, he would dare to rape her.

Panicked, Qi Jiayi dared not play dead any longer. She quickly broke free from Zhou Wang's arm, sat up abruptly, and leaned against the headboard, glaring angrily at Zhou Wang.

"You... what are you doing?"

"Ah."

Zhou Wang, who had already opened his eyes, looked at Qi Jiayi with a half-smile and responded with a snort.

Qi Jiayi was initially confused, but after a night of Zhou Wang's earnest teachings, some of her strange mental pathways had been opened up, so she quickly realized what Zhou Wang was talking about, and immediately became so angry that her teeth itched and her chest heaved.

When Qi Jiayi saw Zhou Wang's wide-eyed stare, she realized she felt a chill on her body. She frantically pulled the blanket over herself, saying in embarrassment and annoyance:

"You're not allowed to look!"

"Hey, I watched too little last night?"

Although Qi Jiayi looked very angry, Zhou Wang still smiled, because he could sense that Qi Jiayi's anger at this moment was fundamentally different from many times before.

If I had to put it into words, it would probably be that she has become more feminine and less cold and distant.

Zhou Wang's words left Qi Jiayi speechless again, but she felt it was a good opportunity to clarify things with him. So, after organizing her thoughts, Qi Jiayi took a deep breath and said:

“Zhou Wang, I feel I need to make things clear to you… Last night, there were some unexpected factors involved, and I was in a rather confused state at the time. I don’t know if you’ve misunderstood anything, but I don’t think it caused any substantial change in our relationship. Do you understand?”

At first, Qi Jiayi stumbled a bit, but she was no ordinary woman after all, and her logic quickly became clear.

After she finished speaking, she cautiously looked at Zhou Wang.

To her surprise, Zhou Wang looked at her with a very surprised expression. "Jiayi, what are you talking about?"

Just as Qi Jiayi thought Zhou Wang hadn't understood, she was about to rephrase it more clearly. However, before she could speak, Zhou Wang casually waved his hand and said:

“I understand what you’re saying. What I’m trying to say is, Jiayi, it seems like you’re the one who’s misunderstood.”

"Ok?"

"Didn't I already tell you? This is just a treatment with a special method. I didn't have any other thoughts about it. I never thought our relationship would change."

Zhou Wang glanced at Qi Jiayi with a puzzled look, then said matter-of-factly, "We will still have a normal working relationship. Of course, I will still lend you a helping hand when you are in pain... Other than that, we will remain the same as before, and nothing will change."

Hearing Zhou Wang's serious words, Qi Jiayi was momentarily stunned, and felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Qi Jiayi had some idea of ​​Zhou Wang's possible reaction, but she never expected that Zhou Wang would not only not refute her, but would even think that she was the one who had misunderstood...

An inexplicable sense of loss enveloped Qi Jiayi in an instant, even making it difficult for her to breathe.

"you……"

Qi Jiayi wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything at all.

Blame Zhou Wang?
But to draw a clear line, this was clearly a request I made myself; he was merely going along with what I said. Logically and emotionally, I should feel happy and relieved...

But why was the reality the opposite? Not only did she not feel relieved at all, but she even felt suffocated. A sour feeling, like a lemon bursting open, quietly spread in Qi Jiayi's heart.

She clearly remembered that Zhou Wang had said something like "I like her a lot" last night, so...

While Qi Jiayi was experiencing mixed feelings, Zhou Wang had already thrown off the covers, gotten out of bed, and headed towards the bathroom.

"You rest a little longer, I'm going to wash up now."

Looking at Zhou Wang's "indifferent" back, Qi Jiayi felt increasingly bitter.

When she realized it, tears were already welling up in her eyes. Qi Jiayi quickly turned around, feeling ashamed of her cowardice while also confused about what was wrong with her.

Qi Jiayi felt an eternity of suffering, and finally, a sound came from the bathroom... the sound of a hairdryer.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Wang, having finished washing up, came out of the bathroom, and then she heard the rustling sound of Zhou Wang getting dressed...

So, he just left so coldly?

Is he in such a hurry to leave?
Qi Jiayi's emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down, began to surge again uncontrollably.

If she was like a lemon before, now it's like a spilled jar of vinegar. That sour feeling has spread throughout her body, even causing her hands and feet to spasm.

Qi Jiayi didn't know what was wrong with her. She remembered the last time she felt this sad was when she graduated from university. She saw her classmates all having their parents come to congratulate them, but she could only hold her graduation certificate alone, forcing a smile as she took a picture of herself...

Just then, Zhou Wang suddenly went silent.

Qi Jiayi didn't pay attention, assuming Zhou Wang had already left quietly. With her last bit of stubbornness, she held back the tear in her eye. Just as Qi Jiayi was about to get out of bed, she heard a soft laugh beside her.
"Oh, you're so easily teased... I thought a strong woman like you would never have a vulnerable moment."

The familiar voice made Qi Jiayi turn her head instantly, but before she could say anything, her lips were completely sealed.

With the crisp floral scent of premium toothpaste lingering in his mouth, Zhou Wang seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Qi Jiayi hadn't rinsed her mouth since she woke up. He pressed down hard on Qi Jiayi's back and, before she could even make a sound, he had already ruthlessly stolen her first kiss of the day once again.

Various embarrassing "slurping" sounds rang out between the raindrops hitting the windowsill. When Zhou Wang finally released Qi Jiayi, she had already collapsed onto the bed in a "V" shape, too weak to even lift a finger.

At this moment, Zhou Wang placed his hands on her neck, looked into her complex eyes, and said earnestly:
"Most of what I just said was false. It's true that I want to help you, but it's false that I don't want to change our relationship. Even if you don't want to work for me anymore someday, I'll probably find another way to keep you by my side forever."

"This is not a discussion or a proposal, this is a notification."

Zhou Wang concluded with a domineering CEO-like statement, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out, "Although I'm very reluctant to see you go, considering that you're already swollen, I'll give you a day off to rest."

"Oh, right."

As Zhou Wang walked to the bedroom door, he remembered something, turned around and said, "Your assistant Sura will be coming to find you later, remember to open the door."

After saying this, Zhou Wang opened the bedroom door and left without looking back, leaving Qi Jiayi, who was still lying on the bed, in a daze.

She was carefully considering every word Zhou Wang had said.

Her emotional naiveté was laughable, and she was completely manipulated by Zhou Wang. He first distanced himself from her, and then, just when her bitter emotions were reaching their peak, he unexpectedly brought her a surprising twist...

Qi Jiayi was no longer a child; she knew this was Zhou Wang's trick, yet she couldn't resist it at all, and even felt a touch of sweetness from it.

He said I was swollen?
Thinking of this, Qi Jiayi first subconsciously touched her lips with her slender fingers, then realized something was wrong and moved her hand to another place.

The burning pain made her frown immediately, but her cheeks also turned bright red.

This shameless scoundrel, how can he just say such things so casually?

After resting for a while, Qi Jiayi remembered what Zhou Wang had said at the end.

Is Sura coming?

But wasn't the other party sent to Australia by her?
However, thinking of Sura, Qi Jiayi realized why Zhou Wang was still able to find her so accurately even though she had concealed her whereabouts.

I just don't know how Zhou Wang managed to get in so quietly...

……

About an hour later, Qi Jiayi finally managed to tidy herself up and tidy up her room.

She didn't need to clean up herself; the service at the five-star hotel was excellent. But out of a strange sense of shame, Qi Jiayi still took matters into her own hands. Only when she started cleaning did she realize how many marks were left in the room…

In many places, she could only barely cover it up, trying her best not to give herself away.

Even so, when Sura finally arrived, Qi Jiayi, feeling very guilty, still chose to receive her in the living room.

"Jiayi...wow, you look so radiant today!"

"Yes, yes?"

Before she could even take a good look in the mirror, Qi Jiayi subconsciously touched her face, completely unaware of the meaningful gaze from her assistant.

Sura's feelings were also complicated at this moment. She had been summoned to Hong Kong Island by Zhou Wang this morning and then had to deal with an urgent matter...

Sura had already realized something, but the authority that Qi Jiayi had built up in her mind over the years made her hesitant to joke with him.

"Sister Jiayi, there is a document here that you need to sign."

Sura pursed her lips, then took a folder out of her briefcase and handed it to Qi Jiayi.

Qi Jiayi was a little puzzled. Could it be that something urgent had happened that made Sura rush back from Australia?

Filled with confusion, Qi Jiayi opened the folder and then saw that heading—

Title Transfer Contract for 90 Repulse Bay Road, Hong Kong Island
