As the night wore on, Emily began to show signs of fatigue. She yawned and leaned against Wang Jian, her energy waning. "I think I'm ready to call it a night," she said, her voice sleepy.
Wang Jian nodded, understanding. "Alright, let's get you back to the hotel," he said, placing his hand on her waist and guiding her through the crowded room. He exchanged quick goodbyes with Jake and Jessica, promising to catch up with them later.
After ensuring that Emily was safely tucked into bed at the hotel, Wang Jian returned to the party, a mischievous grin on his face. Without the need to keep up appearances for Emily's sake, he allowed himself to fully indulge in his true intentions. His thoughts kept drifting back to Jessica, the way she had smiled at him, the slight interest in her eyes that she had tried to hide.
