Chapter 005 The Owner of the Villa_1

The carriage was filled with the faint scent of tobacco and leather from the seats. Qin Yuji huddled in the back corner, trying to keep as far away from the man beside her as possible.

Even so, her heart continued to thud relentlessly, anxiety arising without reason.

She hadn't expected that the man who had blocked her and demanded to know why she appeared at the Golden Age was actually the person who had saved her last night, the owner of that villa.

She had harbored countless speculations about the owner of the villa.

A kindly, benevolent old man, a gentle and kind middle-aged lady, or perhaps a sleazy, vulgar rich man with designs on her…

But she never imagined it would be someone like him.

Even with closed eyes, one could still see his features were as perfect as a deity's. His nose was high and proud, his lips slightly pursed, his eyelashes were so thick and long it was absurd.

Every inch of him exuded a coldness that warned others to keep away, but this didn't harm his handsome, upright image in the slightest. Instead, it added a layer of mysterious charm.

In short, he was a man whose looks and charisma could rival any popular male star, capable of instantly making any woman fall into deep infatuation.

"Have you looked enough? Is this the attitude you're showing?"

Chi Jingxuan opened his eyes and spoke without any intention to spare Qin Yuji's feelings, his eyes filled with inexplicable anger.

At his words, Qin Yuji's face turned pale in an instant.

Knowing he must have misunderstood her, Qin Yuji didn't show any intention to argue.

Who would care?

Her parents?

What was the difference between having such parents and not having any at all?

She supported herself with the money she earned through her own efforts, clean and rightfully hers, without owing anything to heaven or earth and with a clear conscience. What was there to explain?

Clenching her fists tightly, Qin Yuji turned her head and looked at the night scenery flashing by outside the window, pondering how to deal with the situation at hand.

She naturally couldn't afford the rent for the room.

And him bringing her back on such a late night, not only having misunderstood her as a nightclub hostess but also explicitly wanting her to repay the debt of being saved last night and the rent for staying in the villa, the implication was obvious, wasn't it?

What should she do…

Before Qin Yuji could figure it out, the car slowly came to a stop.

Ah Cheng opened the door, and Chi Jingxuan got out of the car. Qin Yuji remained sitting in her seat, feeling her hands and feet go cold.

She didn't know what stepping into this villa again would mean for her.

Ah Cheng politely opened the car door, waiting for Qin Yuji to get out. She remained still, and he didn't hurry her, instead taking the opportunity to size her up without leaving a trace.

Without a doubt, she was a young and beautiful woman.

Her beauty was different from those heiresses and ladies in M City who flocked to the young master. It was effortless and unaffected, like lilies blooming in the dark, pure, yet enchanting.

It was a pity...

If it weren't for her identity, just by the young master's gesture of covering her with a blanket, she would already be the woman most envied and resented by thousands in M City.

What was inevitable would come, and what had to be faced would be faced sooner or later.

After numerous internal battles, Qin Yuji finally got out of the car and entered the villa.

She changed into slippers and went to the bedroom where she had slept the night before. The room was tidy as if new, and there was no sign of the man. Qin Yuji sat silently on the bed's edge, unsure of what to do.

The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. At this moment, she realized that aside from the identity she desperately wanted to avoid, she really had no other recourse.

A small voice in her heart said: Qin Yuji, tell him you are the daughter of the Qin family, the eldest daughter of Mayor Qin Zhongsong. For the sake of decency if not for respect, he would let you off.

But as soon as this thought surfaced, Qin Yuji denied it.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to have anything to do with that family.
