Chapter Index

    “No problem it’s my fault I didn’t see you ah! Hiss—”

    The woman apologized to Xu Shaochen saying it was fine but her face showed pain. She moved a step and winced in pain.

    “Sigh never mind get in the car I’ll take you to the hospital.”

    Seeing her like that Xu Shaochen couldn’t just leave.

    “No, no, it’s fine I’m really okay I won’t hold you up.”

    She waved her hands repeatedly showing guilt refusing to go to the hospital.

    “Okay just get in the car a check-up is a good idea better than a surprise later.”

    Xu Shaochen didn’t give up helping her into the passenger seat, then driving to the hospital.

    He finally had time to carefully look at her.

    She appeared in her thirties with long hair dyed golden. Her fair oval face had captivating phoenix eyes charming and full red lips.

    A red tight short dress hugged her curvy body. Her well-proportioned figure seemed fleshy yet not out of shape reflecting long legs under silk stockings.

    A mature woman like a ripe peach, completely ripened.

    Such women have a fatal attraction to young men.

    It’s observed young men often like older women.

    While older men like younger women.

    “Um… thank you and sorry I was in a hurry and didn’t see your car now I trouble you to take me to the hospital.”

    The woman seemed a bit shy at Xu Shaochen’s gaze breaking the silence with a grateful smile.

    “It’s fine just be careful next time luckily I just started the car or it might have been a bloodshed event.”

    Xu Shaochen smiled lightly his previous irritation fading beauty always got a pass.

    The car drove towards the hospital.

    In a car outside the food market a man in a baseball cap sent photos from his phone then texted: First step complete.

    Moments later he received a message: Keep an eye on that woman communicate well don’t lose control suggest her daughter when needed.

    The cap-wearing man replied with two words: Got it.

    Xu Shaochen knew nothing of this.

    He had already taken that mature woman to the hospital for a check-up and simple swelling treatment.

    “Sister Ying the doctor said it’s nothing serious just remember to apply medicine regularly avoid intense activity for a while.”

    On the road Xu Shaochen learned her name—Huo Ying.

    She’s thirty-seven years old owner of a western restaurant.

    One can’t deny she maintained herself well she looked no older than thirty.

    Her face had no wrinkles her skin smoother than most young girls.

    Clearly wealth buys youth and beauty.

    Ordinary people don’t have time or money to spend on maintaining looks and figure.

    “Thank you Young Xu I’m really sorry today give me your contact so I can treat you to dinner as thanks.”

    Huo Ying smiled at Xu Shaochen held by him because of her sprained foot her fragrance surrounding.

    “Sure.”

    Xu Shaochen exchanged phone numbers without hesitation then added on WeChat.

    He casually checked her moments all were life photos some slightly flirtatious.

    Huo Ying’s face blushed slightly saying: “I have several WeChats this is personal nearly empty hence relaxed posts.”

    This statement explained the photos and showed her trust in Xu Shaochen.

    “Very beautiful.” Xu Shaochen sincerely praised her good maintenance.

    Only naive youngsters prefer barely adult girls seasoned men understand matured women’s appeal.

    “Should I take you back your foot is inconvenient.”

    Xu Shaochen offered further care typically reserved for attractive women.

    “No need I’ve asked someone to pick me up you can go first don’t waste your time.”

    She glanced at her wristwatch then refused with a smile.

    “Alright Sister Ying I’ll leave then.”

    Xu Shaochen nodded then left in his Porsche.

    Huo Ying’s smile faded watching the Porsche blend into traffic her eyes held complexity.

    At that time a black Passat stopped in front of her.

    “Get in.”

    The window rolled down revealing the man in the baseball cap from the market.

    Huo Ying opened the door with a cold face,“I’ve done what you asked where’s my daughter?”

    “Ms. Huo did you misunderstand your deal with my boss isn’t over you’ll see your daughter when it’s done.”

    The cap-wearing man spoke casually driving to her residence.

    “What do you want you’re crazy that’s Xu Shaochen the richest man in the world!”

    “If he knew I deceived him he wouldn’t spare me or my daughter!”

    Huo Ying shouted losing her composure gripping her golden hair unlike the flirtatious sister before Xu Shaochen.

    “Ha what we do is our business don’t mind.”

    “But Ms. Huo if you don’t comply your daughter might be sold to North Africa as a street worker you have no bargaining power.”

    The baseball cap man’s sneer threatened using her daughter’s weakness again.

    Huo Ying leaned back lifeless she neither wanted nor dared to lie to Xu but for her daughter’s safety she must.

    Lying to such a man was mentally taxing.

    A slight mistake and it could be catastrophic.

    Two days ago she lost contact with her daughter these people approached her exploiting her daughter’s safety.

    From the market collision everything was premeditated.

    “Ms. Huo we’re home.”

    The car quickly stopped at the community entrance.

    She got out wordless barely enduring ankle pain entering the community.

    Watching her charming back the baseball cap man’s eyes flashed greedy quickly suppressed.

    If not for the boss’s orders he’d have long enjoyed the mature beauty.

    “Damn lucky Xu gets her.”

    He cursed harshly then drove away.
