Extreme Addiction

Leh Ying found herself acquainted with the higher echelons she should not aspire to, and when the profligate young master Liu Huaiying pursued her relentlessly, she had no escape. A fleeting glimpse of Young Master Xu, Xu Jingxi's appearance, had her heart fluttering, and her spirit moved; the Xu family was the center of power within Forty-Nine City, and only he could change the game. On a snowy night, by the door of the Mercedes Benz G Class, she tiptoed and gently cupped her palm to light a cigarette for Xu Jingxi. The man’s lips leisurely wrapped around the cigarette, and he leaned slightly towards her. His clear-cut face partially lowered into the backlight’s shadow, the flame at the tip of the cigarette flickered faintly between them. When he finally looked up, his eyes were calm and indifferent, and he asked in a rising inflection, “What do you want?” Leh Ying, “Only what you can give.” Others quickly realized, “That Xu Jingxi, born into high chambers, his flesh and bones saturated with a profound desire for power. For someone like him, even feelings are superfluous. What do you have to gamble your status with him?” Keeping her by his side was merely Xu Jingxi’s pastime for his loneliness. He was accustomed to acting out scenes, she never sought status, and turned to leave the capital to hold an art exhibition. Just as she packed and entered the elevator, Xu Jingxi stood tall in the center, his index finger slowly hooking the fine bone necklace at the front of her neck and gently pulling her back as she moved to step out. ** That Valentine's Day night, within the Third Ring, luxury hotels were fully booked, and some witnessed the entire BVG Hotel being reserved by Young Master Xu. What left the deepest impression on Leh Ying was the man half-kneeling on the bed, wearing a loosely tied bathrobe, biting on a pen cap, and picking up a Thin Gold Calligraphy Style brush to inscribe three characters along the edge of her collarbone—Xu Jingxi.

During this time,

when Xu Jingxi wasn't around, Yi Jia was thrown over to keep her company for meals, to watch movies with her, and to play near Qiyun.

For some reason, Yi Jia had started smoking more frequently, but fearing the secondhand smoke might affect her, she sat particularly far away.

At the Qi Lake viewing platform, the waiter served them two cups of hot milk. Completely alone, the two continued their conversation.

Yi Jia, uninterested in the milk, pushed it aside and turned to look at Leh Ying, "Even if someone held a knife to my throat and forced me to rely on the Xu family's name, I wouldn't dare speak up."

Leh Ying adjusted her blanket and hugged her knees as she looked at the scenery.

"If you ask me, it's not so bad. After all, they're both single. Who knows if he'll ever marry, he might just be someone no one can ever tie down in marriage," Yi Jia added.

Who could it be.

He wouldn't possibly marry someone he doesn't love.
