Xia Ruya stood casually before a full-length mirror.
Her exquisitely beautiful features were like a pure white lotus glowing under the moonlight. Her fire-red dress flowed down her slender frame, looking exceptionally alluring.
It was all perfect.
But why was it that every time she looked into the mirror, all she could see was her former scarred and hideous demonic self?
Chu Jingnan walked over naked, having just had a shower. He slowly wrapped his arms around her from behind. “What are you so deep in thought about?”
Her supple body and seductive scent reminded him of just how charming a woman could be.
Chu Jingnan was somewhat aroused and planted wet kisses upon her neck. His hands started roving upwards from her waistline.
“Jingnan, tell me. Am I beautiful?”
Xia Ruya asked in a low, sensuous voice. She didn’t stop Chu Jingnan’s actions as she felt a secret thrill at how ardent the usually-staid Chu Jingnan was behaving toward her.
This man was supposedly deeply in love with Wen Xinya. But in the end, he had still fallen into her grasp.
“Of course you are beautiful. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen head over heels for you.”
Chu Jingnan pushed Xia Ruya against the mirror. With one hand, he sought the zipper of her dress and gave it a vicious tug. The zipper went all the way down to her buttocks, revealing her fair, jade-like back.
Chu Jingnan pressed tightly against her from behind and planted wet kisses all down her back.
“Wen Xinya and I—who is prettier?”
Xia Ruya’s body was completely constrained by Chu Jingnan. The feeling of being totally trapped between him and the mirror excited her, and she was quickly aroused by Chu Jingnan’s enticements.
In the beginning, after being defiled, she had developed a sense of fear and unease at the thought of intimacy with the opposite sex. She knew it was a psychological phobia.
To conquer this phobia, she went through a period where she had sexual relations with many men.
From the initial fear to the eventual enjoyment, she managed to conquer her fear.
Chu Jingnan looked gentlemanly and refined but could be quite wild.
“At this moment, you are prettier.” Chu Jingnan took off Xia Ruya’s dress. The touch of her skin was even more wondrous than he imagined. He was instantly bewitched.
He had never denied Xia Ruya’s allure. Both she and Wen Xinya were exceptional women.
“I won’t believe you even if you tell me now that you are devoted to Wen Xinya.” Xia Ruya smiled smugly.
Chu Jingnan paused. “Oh, what do you mean?”
He had always felt that he was devoted to Wen Xinya. Why did Xia Ruya not believe it?
Xia Ruya said sweetly, “The only one whom you will always love is yourself. You only care about your own self-interests. You are only obsessed with her now because you can’t obtain her.”
Since they became intimate, she was able to clearly see through the previously enigmatic Chu Jingnan. He was cold, selfish and heartless. Nevertheless, these were the traits that she most admired in him.
Chu Jingnan held her gently as he whispered by her ear. “You seem to know me better than myself.”
Xia Ruya spoke the truth.
Deep down in his heart, he felt that Wen Xinya should belong to him, and he had developed an obsession with her only because he was unable to attain her.
Xia Ruya breathed out heavily. “Because we are the same. In this world, only we are able to truly understand each other. That is why we are meant for one another.”
Their chemistry with each other was much more than just a physical attraction.
Their attraction was a mutual linking of the heart, the mind, the soul.
“Well said.” Chu Jingnan agreed with her wholeheartedly.
Their steamy liaison lasted a long time.
Thereafter, the two of them went to the bathroom to wash up, at which things started to heat up again.
“Do you want a glass of red wine?” Chu Jingnan asked in a low voice.
Xia Ruya nodded as she leaned lazily against the couch.
Chu Jingnan took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and poured two glasses. “Old Mr. Xiao is hospitalized with a stroke and Xiao Zhiyuan is unable to hold down the fort at the Wen Corporation. As a result, I have been able to gradually inch my way toward full control. When do you intend to make your move against the Wen Corporation?”
Xia Ruya had made comprehensive and meticulous preparations right from the moment she decided to go against the Wen Corporation. Even he couldn’t help feeling astounded by how thorough and exacting she had been.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Rosy Lane and Lu Bingxin’s little drama still needs to be acted out to the end.”
Xia Ruya gently swirled the glass of red wine. Her face was spell-bindingly enchanting. She looked just like a sinuous and beautiful snake demoness.
She was lovely but full of venom.
Chu Jingnan didn’t agree and said gravely, “Wen Xinya is no fool. Be careful of overplaying this drama such that she ends up having her guard raised. By then, all our earlier efforts will have gone to waste.”
He was worried that Wen Xinya might already have her suspicions against them.
After all, although Xia Ruya was very good at scheming, Wen Xinya herself was exceptionally intelligent.
Xia Ruya was nonchalant. “So what if she is now guarded against us? Wen Xinya has already lost the opportunity to strike and is destined to lose. It is entirely impossible for her to turn the tables now.”
Chu Jingnan didn’t continue to raise objections. He would never dare to underestimate Wen Xinya.
But he also couldn’t deny that Xia Ruya was one of the most scheming and manipulative women he had ever met. It would be an epic battle between these two.
Xia Ruya smiled coquettishly. “Wen Xinya’s greatest weakness is that she thinks too highly of herself and will never deign to use any devious means. She will never understand just how useful such methods are, and how scary they can be. She probably still has no idea that I have already infiltrated Wen Corporation’s core management and her most trusted Teacher Gu will soon become a discarded pawn.”
Xia Ruya was well aware of just how important Gu Yihan was to the Wen Corporation.
That was why she had purposely targeted Gu Yihan in her bid to defeat the Wen Corporation.
However, Gu Yihan was too loyal to the Wen Corporation and too honorable. Xia Ruya was completely unable to do anything to her.
All until the appearance of the Boya Pavilion owner’s cotton purse.
Lu Bingxin’s act was just a distraction to bait the enemy.
Her true killing move had yet to come.
Chu Jingnan reminded her. “But remember not to underestimate Wen Xinya.”
Xia Ruya gave a smug smile. “Don’t worry. Just sit tight and wait for the real show to start! This time, I will have Wen Xinya completely defeated. She will never be able to raise her head ever again.”
There was no way Wen Xinya would be able to defend against all her laborious preparations.
