A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

Assistant Wang on the other end of the phone even thought the signal had been lost.

"...The chairman?"

Xie Jing ignored the sound coming from the earphones.

The moment Jiang Chu pressed against him, his muscles tensed to the extreme, and he even stopped breathing.

The fire that had been suppressed in those dark eyes suddenly exploded like wildfire.

He stared intently at the girl beneath him.

Jiang Chu felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, and her earlier bravado instantly deflated. She instinctively tried to pull her leg back.

But it was too late.

Xie Jing grabbed her thigh with his large hand, his five fingers tightening like iron hoops, pressing her slender leg firmly to his side.

Jiang Chu tried to struggle, but was held down firmly and could not move no matter how hard she tried.

The man leaned closer to her.

The skin beneath my palm felt firm and soft; the muscles on the girl's legs weren't overly thick, yet they contained strength and exuded vitality.

He squeezed two handfuls in his hands and then pressed them forward heavily.

"Hmm!"

Jiang Chu's eyes widened suddenly.

The man's strength was terrifying, especially with each time he tightened his core and leaned forward, it made her mentally visualize his abdominal muscles and—

The outline of something.

"...make the additional terms and conditions completely binding."

Xie Jing's voice became extremely low and hoarse. He rested his chin on Jiang Chu's neck, his rapid and hot breath spraying onto her collarbone.

He gently bit her neck.

Then--

Once, twice.

The movements were stealthy yet forceful.

Jiang Chu even curled up her toes.

She was also afraid of accidentally letting out some strange noise.

Xie Jing paused.

He took a deep, long breath and then exhaled heavily.

"...I'll be there at 8:30."

After Xie Jing finished speaking coldly, he directly took off his headphones, turned them off, and put them in his pocket.

He didn't get up immediately, but instead propped himself up and looked down at the girl beneath him, whose eyes were red from being ravaged.

In his unfathomable black eyes, a dark, unsatisfied desire still churned.

The man extended his rough thumb and rubbed it heavily against her full, rosy lips.

"Consider yourself lucky." His voice was hoarse and barely audible, carrying an undisguised threat. "I'll settle this score with you later."

Jiang Chu took a breath, still feeling lingering fear, but seeing the other person's expression, she subconsciously wanted to laugh.

In the end, a hint of schadenfreude crept in, "...I wish you success in your work."

After saying that, he lay back down.

Xie Jing glanced at her, stood up nimbly, and swiftly scooped the girl up from the cushion.

"Um," Jiang Chu's legs were still a little weak, "I just want to wish you well!"

"I know," Xie Jing said, looking down at her, "so I was just being kind by helping you up."

Jiang Chu looked at the iron arm across her waist, "...I thought you were in a hurry to get to work."

Xie Jing scoffed, "There's no rush. It's just that if we continue, we won't have enough time."

Jiang Chu glanced at his phone and realized it was just seven o'clock.

She thought about the meaning behind the other person's words and suddenly blushed.

Not really.

Will it really last that long?

Xie Jing didn't linger any longer. He put one arm around her waist and led her out of the gym.

As soon as she stepped out of that glass door, Jiang Chu, like a rabbit regaining its freedom, blushed and broke free from his arm, heading back to her bedroom down the spiral staircase without looking back.

Xie Jing stood there, watching her fleeing figure, and a very slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He glanced down at the unhealed area, rubbed his temples with a headache, and strode towards the master bathroom.

Forty minutes later.

Jiang Chu soaked herself in the bathtub and splashed cold water on her face several times before she could barely bring down the almost spontaneously combusting heat on her face.

She changed into clean and comfortable loungewear, and walked out of the bathroom while drying her half-dry hair with a towel.

Thinking back on what happened in the basement just now still makes my limbs feel weak.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Ms. Jiang, are you resting?"

It was Butler Wang's voice.

Jiang Chu walked over and opened the door. "Nothing—"

Outside the door, Butler Wang was still wearing his impeccable three-piece suit, with an impeccable smile on his face.

Behind him followed four waiters wearing white gloves.

Everyone was holding a velvet gift box.

Jiang Chu was stunned for a moment: "This is..."

"The boss has already left for the group headquarters."

Butler Wang smiled and stepped aside, gesturing for the waiters to take the items inside. "He instructed before he left that these be taken to your room."

The waiters filed in, neatly arranged more than a dozen velvet boxes of various sizes on the table, and then respectfully withdrew.

Jiang Chu walked over, somewhat puzzled, and reached out to open the largest, dark blue velvet box in the very center.

The lid pops open.

An extremely clean and simple platinum necklace.

Below the extremely thin platinum chain hangs a flawless pink diamond shaped like a teardrop.

There is no surrounding setting of diamonds, just a single, pure main stone.

That pink diamond was astonishingly large, displaying the finest iridescent pink.

Under the refraction of indoor light, it bursts forth with dazzling firelight, like a solidified, glowing cherry blossom droplet.

Although Jiang Chu wasn't a jewelry appraisal expert, he had watched the videos before.

The clarity and quality of this stone, even with its minimalist design, would absolutely qualify it as a closing piece at Sotheby's auctions.

She gasped and opened the boxes next to her.

None of these pieces of jewelry are the kind that are overly formal and suffocatingly formal for wealthy women.

Their designs exude lightness and vitality, but the quality of the main stone is outrageously good.

Jiang Chu picked up a pair of single round diamond earrings.

There's no fancy design at all; it's just the classic six-prong setting. But the two white diamonds are ridiculously large, dazzlingly white, and so clear and flawless.

She then picked up an extremely thin diamond-encrusted bracelet.

This style is clearly designed for young people, and it's set with a whole row of rare Argyle blue diamonds.

The cool blue hue flows across the velvet lining, exuding a breathtaking luxury in its understated elegance.

Each box contains neatly arranged certificates of authenticity from the most authoritative international institutions such as GIA or Gübelin.

They are all brand new, with no signs of having been worn.

Butler Wang smiled at her and said, "The boss said not to use any complicated or messy designs. He specifically instructed the workshops in Europe to use the cleanest cutting and inlay techniques. The style is also lightweight, making it easy for you to match with your everyday clothes."

Jiang Chu: "..."

This is so common.

In comparison, the previous pair of earrings was indeed extremely simple.

But this wasn't the first time she had known Xie Jing.

So this kind of thing is entirely conceivable.

only--

If these things were made for oneself, then they must have started construction several days in advance, right?

They had only known each other for less than a week.

Butler Wang bowed slightly and dropped another bombshell.

"Of course, as the gentleman also said, if you don't like these ready-made designs, or feel that the styles aren't quite to your liking—"

"In the underground vault of the Yunxiang Road Manor, there is a batch of high-quality raw stones that the gentleman purchased in his early years. You can call me at any time, and I will immediately have a designer come over to create a design for you on-site at the manor. How you want it cut and set can be customized until you are completely satisfied."

Jiang Chu: "…………"
