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.

Pour the wine down

The girl's heart pounded with fear, and she had no choice but to stand up, pocket the money, and follow the arrangements.

He took a sip of his drink and continued to banter jovially with Li Xiuming.

As the ice melted, the taste of the whiskey deteriorated, and he frowned in distaste, passing it to security. The knowing guard promptly replaced it with a new glass, poured a fresh drink with ice cubes, and returned it to him.

After everything was taken care of, the guard gestured and led the girl out of the private room to wait.

Once the room was emptied, the two men went back to their serious conversation.

"You didn't get angry, did you? It's all thanks to your good looks," Li Xiuming said.

He laughed, stood up, and walked out to the balcony to enjoy the night breeze.

The cigarette Li Xiuming handed him was Gurkha Royal Reserve. Although pricey, the flavor was exactly to Li Xiuming's taste—strong and pure—enough for the Crown Prince to deign to smoke one.
