After calming down, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. His face was still flushed, but there was no emotion in his eyes. He stared blankly at the ceiling.

It was not until she vaguely heard the sound of the bathroom opening that she sat up from the bed.

By the time the woman turned her head, she was already wearing a mask, revealing her usual sweet smile. "Mr. Huo, you've gone too far. You didn't even mention it in advance this time. You've come in the middle of the night..."

There was even a hint of grievance in her tone.

Huo Yunchen was drying his hair. His muscular figure was hidden beneath his bathrobe, and the collar of his bathrobe was slightly open.

Hearing that, he looked up at the woman.

This woman's acting skills were getting more and more proficient. Having spent more than a year with him, didn't he know that she was acting all the time?

The man curled his lips but did not expose it. He said in a cold and low voice, "I'll be gentler next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the towel on the bed, pulled out the wardrobe, took out his trousers, and took off his bathrobe.

"Mr. Huo, we haven't seen each other for more than a month since last month when you flew abroad on the third day of last month." He walked out of bed and hugged the man from behind. "You've been here for less than an hour. Are you leaving now?"

She acted like a spoiled child. "I'll leave tomorrow morning and spend more time with you. I've been dreaming about Mr. Huo recently."

Huo Yunchen grabbed the woman's hand and pressed her against the cabinet when he turned around. His sharp gaze swept across her charming face and then onto her flawless perfect body.

This woman was not only beautiful, but also good at observing people's expressions. So after following him for such a long time, he was still happy physically and mentally.

Huo Yunchen touched the woman's chin and asked lightly, "Xiang Ning, how long have you been with me?"

"It's been almost a year." Xiang Ning's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile, "Mr. Huo, why are you asking this? Are you tired of me?"

She thought that she hid her emotions well, but she didn't know that all men had seen it.

"I'll ask my assistant to contact you then."

Huo Yunchen didn't answer her directly. He took out the wallet from the pocket of his suit jacket and took out the check he had prepared in advance.

Xiang Ning took the check and smiled faintly. "Thank you, Mr. Huo!"

She did not even look at the check's amount. She planted a kiss on the cabinet as if it was gold and did not pester the man anymore. She walked towards the bathroom naked.

As soon as Xiang Ning filled the bathtub with water and lay down, he heard the sound of the door outside.

She closed her eyes and lay in the bathtub. "What did Huo Yunchen mean by that? It's been a year. They'll leave when the time is up?"

That was exactly what Xiang Ning wanted.

A year ago, she was betrayed twice and almost wanted to jump off the building. She suddenly realized what had happened.

Why should she die? She must live well and follow the most powerful man so that she could take revenge on those people!

However, she had yet to find the culprit who had killed her mother. Furthermore, as she got along with Huo Yunchen, she knew that this man was not as easy to deal with as she had imagined. Gradually, she wanted to retreat.

If she hadn't signed the one-year contract, she would have left long ago.

...

The next day, when the alarm clock rang, no matter how hard he had been tortured last night and how tired he had been, Xiang Ning still got up from the bed immediately.

After washing up and changing clothes for half an hour, she hurried out.

A year ago, Xiang Ning entered the High Mountain TV station through Huo Yunchen's connections.

But she was not a vase. With her excellent appearance and good eloquence, she quickly became famous through two variety shows and became the first sister of the TV station.

She had to go to the TV station to receive guests earlier today. It was estimated that it would be late by the time she finished recording the show.

On the way to the TV station, Xiang Ning turned on his mobile phone and saw the unread message sent by Gu Zhen. He clicked on it and found that it was a video.
