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.

Go off into wild flights of fancy (2)

Xu Jingxi took a drag on his cigarette, weariness crinkling his brows. The taste wasn't anything special, so he flicked it into the ashtray.

The sun had just risen; he picked up his laptop with one hand and started up the stairs.

His emotions were not displayed on his face.

Frederick watched him leave in silence before asking Schreyer, "He seems unhappy with the benefits from America; could it be he simply wanted to see Rathem being taken into custody?"

Remembering Mr. Xu's lonesome silhouette, Schreyer dared not speculate, "I don't understand, you'd better not overstep by asking."

That bodyguard was skilled and cold as ice, just like that gentleman, so naturally, Frederick held back, "None of Mr. Xu's people here are good."

Schreyer refused to engage in small talk.

What use are good people?

Xu Jingxi only cared if you were useful; if so, you were a person, if not, you were kicked aside.

Around the corner of the stairs, the bedroom door had just opened.
