Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

Li Ruoxue opened her eyes groggily and found herself still in Chen Yang's arms. Her face flushed, and she quickly struggled to get down.

Chen Yang put her down and watched her frantically search for her keys in her bag.

The key was inserted into the lock, and the door opened.

Li Ruoxue stood at the door and looked back at Chen Yang.

"I'm going in."

She said in a low voice.

"Um."

Chen Yang nodded, his hands in his pockets, showing no intention of leaving.

Li Ruoxue gripped the doorknob, her heart racing again.

It was the middle of the night, and the man and woman were alone together.

Should she invite him in for a glass of water?

But what if he goes in and doesn't leave?

"Aren't you going back yet?"

She asked, feigning composure.

Chen Yang took a step forward.

The distance between the two instantly closed, and they could almost feel each other's breath.

Chen Yang lowered his head, his gaze falling on her still slightly red ankle.

"Does your foot still hurt?"

Li Ruoxue shook her head.

"Much better."

Chen Yang didn't speak, he just looked into her eyes.

The motion-activated lights in the corridor dimmed.

In the darkness, only a faint light shone through the crack in the door.

It was so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Li Ruoxue felt her throat was a little dry.

She licked her lips, about to say something, when Chen Yang suddenly raised his hand and gently pressed his thumb against the corner of her lips.

"Before the operation tomorrow night..."

Li Ruoxue held her breath.

"If we're posing as buyers, what props do we need to prepare?"

Li Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to follow his train of thought.

"what?"

Chen Yang looked at her dazed expression and chuckled softly.

"For example, if the buyer brings a very beautiful wife, should they change into an even more alluring outfit?"

Li Ruoxue realized she had been tricked and was so angry that she raised her leg to kick him.

"Are you asking for it?!"

Chen Yang dodged to the side and then wrapped his arm around her waist.

The two were very close together.

Chen Yang lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse.

"Then tomorrow night, you'll follow my instructions, okay?"

Li Ruoxue felt a little breathless under his gaze and could only answer subconsciously.

Why should we have to listen to you?

Chen Yang leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her.

"You think you can successfully catch him? And..."

He paused, his tone becoming even more ambiguous.

Your heart is beating faster than mine right now.

Li Ruoxue frantically pushed against his chest.

"Whoever's heart is beating fast, you'd better get out of here."

Chen Yang released her and took a half step back.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You get some rest."

He turned around, took two steps, and then turned back.

"I'll pick you up at 8 PM tomorrow night."

Li Ruoxue leaned against the door frame, watching him walk into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief, but felt inexplicably empty inside.

She closed the door, leaned against it, and touched her burning cheeks.

"Tomorrow night..."

She muttered softly.

"Should we pretend to be a couple?"

Actually, she doesn't need to pretend; she seems to be...

Li Ruoxue quickly shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts.

7:30 p.m. the next day.

Chen Yang's car stopped right on time downstairs at Li Ruoxue's house.

He picked up his phone, ready to make a call, when the passenger door was opened.

A pleasant fragrance wafted in.

Chen Yang turned his head and stared wide-eyed.

Li Ruoxue wore a black tight-fitting leather jacket and a pair of slim-fitting black leather pants, which outlined her perfect curves.

She wore heavy makeup that gave her a somewhat aloof and glamorous look, and her long hair was casually tied into a high ponytail, exuding a wild and dangerous beauty.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

Li Ruoxue fastened her seatbelt and rolled her eyes at him.

Chen Yang snapped out of his daze and smacked his lips.

"I've seen it before, but I've never seen anything this spicy."

He started the car.

"Are you dressed like that, going to make a deal or to cause trouble?"

Li Ruoxue took out a sidearm from her bag, skillfully pulled the bolt, and then put it back into the holster on her waist.

"Wasn't the plan to pretend to be a big boss who double-crosses others?"

She turned to look at Chen Yang and raised an eyebrow.

"How's it going? Do you have enough presence?"

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw her serious expression.

"She has enough presence."

He stepped on the gas, and the car shot off.

"However, something is still missing."

Li Ruoxue looked down at herself.

"What's missing?"

Chen Yang didn't answer, he just focused on driving.

The car stopped on a quiet road in the eastern suburbs.

Ahead lies the abandoned Fisherman's Wharf, surrounded by complete darkness.

Chen Yang unbuckled his seatbelt, turned to the side, and looked at Li Ruoxue in the passenger seat.

Li Ruoxue felt a little uneasy under his gaze.

"What exactly is missing?"

Chen Yang moved a little closer and spoke very softly.

"We're missing a qualified, powerful man."

Before Li Ruoxue could react, Chen Yang's hand was already on the back of her chair.

"We'll be going in soon..."

Chen Yang looked into her eyes.

"No matter what I say or do, you must not resist."

Li Ruoxue's heart raced, and she swallowed hard.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Yang did not answer.

He simply lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on her lips, which were painted with bright red lipstick.

"Shall we rehearse now?"

Li Ruoxue shrank back, her breathing rapid.

"Rehearse...rehearse what?"

Chen Yang looked at her and a smile curved his lips.

"Of course, it's something that proves our relationship."

As he spoke, he leaned forward again.

Li Ruoxue gripped the seatbelt, looked at the face so close to hers, and blurted out.

"If you do anything else, I'll shoot."

Chen Yang looked at her trying to remain calm and did not back away.

"Then shoot."

Li Ruoxue frantically reached for the gun at her waist.

Before his hand could even touch the gun handle, Chen Yang grabbed it and pinned it down.

Chen Yang's voice was low and husky, with a hint of seduction.

"Officer Li, your heart is beating so fast."

"Have you been waiting for this for a long time?"

Li Ruoxue blushed to the roots of her ears and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Stop talking nonsense and take your hand away."

Chen Yang did not let go.

"I won't take it."

As he spoke, he moved his face even closer.

"What, the boss's woman's already chickened out before even going in?"

Li Ruoxue stared at him, her chest heaving violently.

"Who's a coward?"

She forced herself to retort.

Chen Yang smiled.

"Then you'll be waiting later..."

He paused, staring intently at her.

"Don't make a sound."

Li Ruoxue opened her eyes wide.

"What did you say?"

Chen Yang didn't give her a chance to refute and went straight over.

Li Ruoxue's breath hitched, and her hands instinctively pressed against his shoulders.

"Wait a moment……"

She spoke in a flustered manner.

Chen Yang stopped just one centimeter away from her lips.

"What are you waiting for?"

Li Ruoxue looked at him, her voice trembling.

"Shouldn't we check the code first?"

Listening to her clumsy excuse, Chen Yang finally couldn't help but chuckle.

"signal?"

He looked at her flushed cheeks.

"No need for secret codes."

"When you go inside, just remember one thing."

Li Ruoxue asked blankly.

"What is it?"

Chen Yang stared into her eyes.

"No matter what happens, hold me tight."

After he finished speaking, his gaze slowly moved down and landed on her slightly dry lips.

"Now……"

Chen Yang's voice was low and deep.

"Can we start rehearsing now?"

Li Ruoxue gripped his shirt tightly with both hands, her fingertips burning hot.

She stared at Chen Yang's profile as he slowly lowered his head, her mind going completely blank.

"What if my makeup gets ruined?"

She asked the question almost instinctively.

Chen Yang chuckled and lifted her chin with his finger.

"Then let's just eat the lipstick."

Li Ruoxue's breath hitched, and she was about to close her eyes subconsciously when she suddenly heard Chen Yang speak in a low voice.

"What, are you ready to undergo the big boss's investigation already?"
