On the first floor, the booming music resonated, dominating the scene.Â
In the midst of the dance floor, people surrendered to the dazzling lights, freely expending their energy.Â
Su Wei, gracefully perched on high heels, ascended to the second floor. She reached out and gave a gentle pat to her friend, who was seated at a booth, enjoying her drink while observing the vibrant atmosphere.Â
“Nuannuan.”Â
Ye Nuannuan was her closest friend, sporting an adorable and finely sculpted visage.Â
“Tsk, my lovely, allow me to grace you with a smooch.”Â
Ye Nuannuan embraced Su Wei, placing a soft kiss on her cheek. Su Wei playfully pushed her away proceeded to pour herself a drink.Â

“Wei Wei, do you think your ex-husband is a tad foolish? He’s left a woman as beautiful and talented as you to gallivant outside.”Â
Ye Nuannuan raised her glass, clinking it against Su Wei’s, a twinge of regret apparent in her gaze.Â
Su Wei took a sip of her drink, her smile radiating allure. “Indeed, he seems quite daft.”Â
In Fu Yan’an’s perception, she was possibly nothing more than a rustic country girl. Little did he realize…Â
“Humph, if he doesn’t want you, Su Mei has no shortage of men vying for her attention.”Â
Ye Nuannuan linked her arm around Su Wei’s neck. “Wei Wei, you’re divorced, and you haven’t even tasted the scent of a man. If you tell that to anyone, they’ll laugh you out of town. I know plenty of high-caliber men. What’s your preference? I’ll introduce you tonight.”Â
Su Wei: “…”Â
How dearly does her friend yearn for her to find a partner?Â
“Enough of this, let’s just savor our drinks. From now on, I’m going to focus on my career.”Â

“Cut the nonsense, your adorer is probably brandishing a machete in the shadows to chase after me.”Â
They continued to enjoy their drinks and conversation, and before they realized it, they had indulged a bitÂ

Ye Nuannuan tugged Su Wei onto the dance floor, but Su Wei’s full stomach prompted a quick visit to the restroom first.Â
The restroom on the second floor had a maintenance sign outside, so Su Wei ascended to the third floor.Â

A carpet-covered wooden floor provided a soft, cushioned path, like walking on clouds.Â
Su Wei had a touch too much to drink, and her steps wavered, causing her to stumble slightly.Â
Suddenly, the door to a nearby private room swung open, and Su Wei tumbled to the floor.Â
The room was dimly lit, with only the sound of running water emanating from the direction of theÂ
bedroom.Â
Su Wei’s head spun briefly from the fall, and she laboriously got back on her feet, intending to leave.Â
At that moment, the bedroom door creaked open, and a man seized her from behind, pushing her againstÂ
the wall.Â
“Who are you? How dare you scheme against me?”Â
The man’s voice was harsh, carrying a restrained undertone of desire.Â
Su Wei’s dazed mind momentarily cleared. This man… was Fu Yan’an!Â
“I didn’t…”Â
“If it’s not you, then how did you get in here?”Â
In the dimness, the man’s breathing grew rapid, as if he were struggling to contain something.Â
“I, I mistakenly entered the wrong room. Let me go…”Â
Su Wei’s eyes widened, feeling the sudden descent of his kiss, attempting to push him away.Â
