Moon kissing the Milky Way, I only wish to kiss you; like the water lily falling into mud, reveling in daylight with you

—— Preface

"Noble Color", the biggest nightclub in the Northern City.

The luxurious, spacious VIP suite on the top floor was filled with melodious, romantic English songs. The atmosphere was very different compared to the exciting rhythm from the dance floor outside. It's like they were two separate worlds.

Sitting in the center of the sofa, the cool and handsome man’s face intermittently lit by the dim light, casting a deep and profound silhouette.

Two enchanting women were seated on either side of this tall and well-built man. Each of them dressed in revealing outfits, their voluptuous bosoms jiggled slightly every time they poured drinks. It seems like their assets could spill out at any time.

They would occasionally check the man's mood, carefully serving him, afraid that a tiny mistake could offend this prince of the Northern City.

There were seven or eight people in the room. Lin Huai'an, seated on the other side, was having a conversation with someone. He looked up and saw Xie Yuli ignoring the two girls, keeping a stern face as he drowned his sorrows in alcohol.

Lin Huainan walked over with a glass in hand, playfully rubs a woman's shoulder, and cajoled, "Make some space for your brother?"

The woman, flushed with coyness, got up. Before she left, she touched his handsome face and teased, "Sit, Brother An~~"

Lin Huainan, always wearing a pleasant smile, sat down amiably. He leaned in towards his best friend, "Heard you've been running a massacre, those small firms in the Northern City are almost wiped clean by you. Tell me the truth, has someone gotten under your skin?"

Xie Yuli didn't even bat an eyelid, he raised his glass and downed the drink. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed, his deep voice was chilling, "Mind your own business. Don't ask what you shouldn't."

Lin Huai'an was not offended, still relaxed and casual, "Tsk, you're so cold-hearted, you won't even tell me."

At that moment, a song ended, and there was a few seconds of silence—

"Ah, don't touch me, don't come any closer!!!"

A woman's abrupt cry came from next door.

People in the private room exchanged glances, all with a knowing smile.

In this kind of nightclub, when the mood strikes, anywhere can become a bed, and no one would find it strange.

Soon, the next song queued up, and the atmosphere of the box got back its previous ease and comfort.

Lin Huai'an, after all, was the big boss here. He beckoned to the male waiter at the door and ordered, "Go and check next door."

"Yes."

Soon, the waiter returned and whispered in his ear, "It's Young Master Li and his girlfriend. They said they're dealing with some business in the next room and would leave as soon as it's done."

"Which Young Master Li?"

"The one from LiDa Group."

Lin Huai'an furrowed his eyebrows in thought. He failed to recall anything about that company.

But this place was his territory, he wouldn't allow anyone, no matter who they might be, to violate his rules.

"Warn him to follow the rules in the future, he’s not yet qualified for this floor."

The Aristocratic Night Club was Lu's territory. There were no limits to who could be downstairs, but the top floor's private rooms were reserved for the exceptionally special and distinguished guests.

Obviously, this young master Li from some LiDa Group didn't make the cut.

The waiter understood this and respectfully said, "I've already told him."

Lin Huai'an lit a cigarette with wild abandon, "Fine, if they are in a hurry for their wedding night, don't stop them. Just don't forget to clean up afterwards."

"Okay."

The waiter left.

Perhaps the woman next door had just been too soft-spoken, her cries too appealing, unconsciously invoking the beastly desire in men. Over here, someone had already begun to embrace the female companion beside him, intimately leaning in.

Xie Yuli's dark, narrow eyes casually swept over to the couch opposite him, where an R-rated scene was fervently unfolding.

A well-curvaceous woman was nestled within the arms of a rotund man, but her gaze was directed towards Xie Yuli. Her clothes had already been tugged apart.

She stared at him without blinking.

The buttons of Xie Yuli's black shirt were undone, revealing smooth pectoral muscles and collar bone curves. A black belt tight around his slim waist, his lean legs slightly crossed, the muscles beneath the expensive trousers seemed strong.

She fixated on his sturdy and rebellious features with a greedy and ambiguous glance, instinctively replacing the fat man behind her with the impeccable face before her. The feeling in her body surged.

Especially when he looked back at her, a pair of eyes filled with indifference and playfulness, she could not resist him.

The fat man hadn’t figured out what was going on. He thought his lady was aroused because of him and felt quite smug in his heart.

However, to her surprise, he was a premature man, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The woman, experienced in serving men, collected herself after catering to him. She didn't forget to soothe the man's ego, "Mr. Tan, you are awesome."

Hearing her say that, the man's expression improved marginally.

She looked at Xie Yuli again, only to see him sipping his wine with his head lowered, no longer paying her any attention. A hint of sorrow and disappointment flickered in her eyes.

Lin Huaian couldn't help but lean toward Xie Yuli, his eyes carrying a trace of teasing. "Ah Li, guess who that woman was thinking of during her climax?"

Xie Yuli didn't respond to his mockery, a hint of laughter playing at the corners of his eyes, adding an air of casual, unbridled mystery to him.

Suddenly recalling something amusing, Lin Huaian regarded Xie Yuli's cold and superior profile, wickedly leaning in to whisper in his ear. "I've recently brought in a young girl. She's stunning, especially her figure; slim waist, long legs. Are you interested? If you are, I can ask for you. Seems like she's a little short on cash."

"How beautiful is she?"

Xie Yuli asked lacklusterly, clearly uninterested.

"She's not even twenty yet, her skin is pale and smooth. Her eyes are always watery, invoking a sense of pity from those who look at her. She has a soft appearance, but a spicy personality. Only been here a few days and already upset quite a few big bosses who have taken a liking to her."

The description given by Lin Huaian suddenly made Xie Yuli think of someone.

But she is currently staying at the Xie's, and had just ruthlessly extorted a sum from him. She shouldn't be so desperate for money to work in a place like this.

"Not interested. Keep her for yourself."

"What, preserving your chastity for the great Lin starlet?"

Xie Yuli ignored him, but Lin Huaian took it as tacit agreement.

"Don't tell me, Ah Li, you've finally become serious about women?"

Xie Yuli quirked a brow. "When have I ever not been serious?"

"When have you ever been serious?"

The corners of Xie Yuli's mouth curled slightly. His tall figure leaned back onto the sofa, pulling out a cigarette to bite down on, lighting it up to let the orange glow flicker at the corner of his mouth.

The music in the private room changed to a more upbeat jazz tune. A woman clad in revealing clothes jumped onto the center stage. Dancing along with the rhythm of the music and the dazzling lights, she began a sensual and fiery dance. Her slender, jade-like hands reached behind her back, removing the last piece of fabric covering her modesty.

The few businessmen from the harbor city, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads, were shouting like wild beasts chasing after their desires on the plains.

Xie Yuli showed no interest in the performance. Leaning his head back and closing his eyes, the white slender fingers holding his cigarette waved languidly in the air. The image in his mind was of a pretty, innocent face.

"No... I can't... "

The girl's soft whimpers echoed in his mind, reminding him of the night he had forcibly pinned her beneath him, feeling her delicate, inexperienced body as she made the same pleading cries in her soft, quavering voice.

"You can't touch me. If my uncle knows about this, he will definitely slaughter you!"

The girl's voice was light yet cold, filled with strong warnings and anger, and though she tried to appear calm, it was not hard to hear the slight panic within.

Xie Yuli slowly opened his eyes. The sound was not a figment of his imagination, but was distinctly coming from next door...
