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.

origin of the incident

Li Ting got drunk; the music was blaring and she couldn't hear anything, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked around.

Leh Ying struggled greatly to hold her up; she simply couldn't move her, her arms going numb. No wonder Xu Jingxi always cursed her for being weak and unable to take care of herself; she couldn't muster any strength in trying to hold someone up.

After the effort, Leh Ying felt a sour numbness and weakness in her arms; no one had such little strength.

She gave up.

Once the alcohol hit Li Ting, she simply sprawled on the sofa, her eyes half-closed. She sized up Leh Ying for a good while before recognizing her, then suddenly embraced her, crying out, "You finally came."

Leh Ying didn't move, letting her hold on. Without having to think about it, something had definitely gone wrong, judging by the red swollen eyes of the other person.

She had no choice but to take off the expensive watch in her hand and toss it generously to the waiter.
