Loveless Heist

Finished

Billionaire

Introduction
At night, she was his readily available bed companion who would come and go at his beck and call. During the day, however, she was a hardworking and obscure little actress in the entertainment industry. She had no desire for fame. Enduring hardships was just her way of reclaiming what was rightfully hers. He stood by and watched, allowing her to witness all the vicissitudes of the world, bearing the capriciousness of power and influence. With all her efforts, she tried time and time again to approach her goal, while he would go to great lengths to sabotage her every time. He wove for her the illusion of falling in love with her. When she was deeply immersed, he cruelly handed her a wedding invitation. Looking at her surprised and helpless eyes, he coldly threw out a sentence: "Woman, the game ends here!"

Chapter

The warm sun tilted into the balcony, and the water droplets on the just-watered plants gleamed clear and bright. Dressed in everyday clothes, Xia An wrapped herself in a wicker chair, earplugs in her ears, holding a recently popular novel, leisurely passing the rare free time.

The sunlight fell on her fair skin, radiating a layer of crystal brilliance. Under her long eyelashes, a pair of large focused eyes stared at the book in front of her. Placed amidst lush plants, such a stunning beauty was indistinguishable from a fairy.

The song in her earplugs had repeated countless times, until finally, she turned to the last page of the book.

Stretching lazily, she stepped barefoot off the wicker chair. Her delicate bare feet crossed the floor, like lotus blossoms blooming with each step. She casually walked from the balcony to the bedroom and began to change.

Thirty minutes later, she had put on a Bohemian maxi dress, donned sunglasses, and confidently appeared nearby in a shopping plaza wearing high-heeled shoes.

With a clear mission, she headed straight to the second floor to buy shoes.

Manolo Blahnik is launching a new model today, and that's Xia An's target!

The pretty sales lady was very familiar with Xia An. Seeing her, she naturally brought out the new shoes. "You're a bit late today, this is the last pair, but the size fits you perfectly."

Xia An smiled and was about to try on the shoes. A hand reached out from the side, taking the shoes from the sales lady.

"I didn't expect to catch the last pair of shoes!" A woman voiced her surprise.

Xia An stood stunned on the spot, looking at the woman who had suddenly come to snatch her shoe.

She had a mixed Western and Eastern face, beautiful features, and a graceful figure that gave off a playful feeling when she smiled. Xia An's gaze lingered on her for a moment before shifting to the man beside her.

A tall and handsome body with defined features, Xia An didn't expect that the famous Ye family's CEO would actually accompany a woman to shop. What's more, there was a smile on Ye Minglei's face.

His usually cold eyes were unexpectedly warm. Xia An thought she must be seeing it wrong, but quickly dismissed that idea - his eyes were indeed filled with warm affection.

Xia An hadn't expected this man to show a tender side. This man, who was as cold as ice even in bed, had truly shocked her today with his performance.

Stunned, she stood there, watching as the beautiful woman put on those shoes, watching Ye Minglei's praising smile, and finally watching as the pair that should have belonged to her were packaged and taken away.

"I'm sorry!" The salesperson's voice pulled her back to reality, "We didn't expect the Chairman to bring someone, so..."

Xia An smiled and turned around, she sure hadn't forgotten that this shopping mall was under Ye Minglei's control. Although she regretted not getting those shoes, she was not one to easily get upset. Most importantly, she was hungry now.

Xia An entered the Indian restaurant located on the 18th floor, and found a seat by the window. After ordering her meal, she began appreciating the city's street view from the 18th floor. It was a completely different scene brimming with the hustle and bustle of life. Watching the unending flow of people and traffic, she suddenly felt a loneliness she had never experienced before.

Her meal was served promptly. As Xia An peered at the brightly colored curry rice in her plate, her brows furrowed. She did not really enjoy curry rice; she only ordered it to challenge her own adaptability.

She didn't know when it began, but she started forcing herself to accept what she didn't like, be it people or things. The stronger her disliking, the more she pushed herself to do it.

Taking small bites of the curry rice in her plate, she experienced the spicy sensation. Gradually, she started to acclimate to the flavor.

Indeed, adaptation is key! As she was indulging in this sentiment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
