As Caroline's words fell, the seven-colored rotating magic ball lights began to flash.
The DJ and the drummer also stirred.
As the music started, a group of hot women in bikinis took to the stage, their bodies swaying with fiery energy.
Pole dancing... waist twisting... splits... lip licking...
It was a scene so provocative, you couldn't imagine it without seeing it.
"Wow~~~"
Everyone went wild.
Seeing Caroline appear, Qin Yunxi stood up to find her – Hey, where did you take my wife?
But in the crowded dance floor, he could get in, but couldn't get out.
Women kept harassing him in various ways.
He—
Damn it, he was reacting!
Qin Yunxi just wanted to escape the awkward situation as quickly as possible. Panting, his ears and neck flushed red, his blood was boiling.
He finally escaped!
However, Caroline was gone again.
Meanwhile, in the room.
Grace clutched her phone tightly. The screen kept flashing, but she didn't answer or check the messages.
She knew who was calling and who had sent the messages.
Tonight—
He had been calling all night.
But Grace simply turned her phone to silent, letting it light up incessantly.
"Sizzle—"
Caroline opened the door, holding a glass of red wine, and walked in. "Qin Yunxi is holding up well tonight, remaining unyielding even when tempted."
She had asked several beautiful women to seduce him, but none had succeeded.
Grace pursed her lips, unconcerned.
Caroline walked to Grace's side, holding wine in one hand and resting the other on her shoulder. "Darling, it seems he has developed true feelings for you."
Grace averted her gaze, her tone cold. "I don't care for it."
Caroline raised an eyebrow. "A man like Qin Yunxi, who is powerful, wealthy, handsome, and knows how to please women, do you really not consider him?"
Grace still shook her head resolutely. "He is not suitable for me."
Caroline: "But—"
Grace took the wine glass, her attitude resolute. "Forcing together people who are not suited is like walking in ill-fitting high heels; it looks good, but the rest is just pain."
Life is not lived for others to see; she would choose what made her comfortable.
Caroline: "..."
Grace extended her other hand. "The item? Give it to me."
Caroline didn't want to give it. Although it was her idea, she was also conflicted. Especially seeing Qin Yunxi tonight, how he had been searching for Grace all evening, his desperate gaze made her feel a pang of regret.
"Are you really not considering it?" Caroline made a final plea. "Or, you could try, have a relationship not aimed at growing old together?"
"Grace, I want to see you in love."
"Even if you break up with Qin Yunxi in the end, tasting love will be the most wonderful journey of your life."
Grace said disdainfully, "It's dirty."
There were so many men in the world; why would she seek out a public bus?
To upset herself? To find unhappiness?
Caroline: "…………"
Fine, since she couldn't convince her, she took out a small packet of medicine from her bra.
Grace didn't hesitate, pouring it all into the wine. "Give it to him to drink."
Caroline sighed. Seeing Qin Yunxi's serious demeanor, she had wanted to come in and persuade Grace, why not try?
If you don't try a relationship, how do you know if you're compatible?
But—
Hugging her best friend, Caroline said, "Since your mind is made up, I guarantee he will never have the face to bother you again."
She left.
Carrying the drugged red wine, she walked out of the room.
This was Caroline's plan—to drug Qin Yunxi, then drag her friends to catch him in the act, making Qin Yunxi embarrassed, ashamed, and angry.
Ultimately, he would give up.
But she had only told Grace about this plan, not Du Ruoxin, Miranda, or Ning Ni.
Grace stared out the window, her pale green eyes revealing no emotion in the darkness.
Only her tightly pursed lips conveyed absolute resolve.
She didn't want love; she could live very well on her own.
Why should she bring a man into her life? Not only enduring his bossing her around, but also compromising with him, and his entire family?
[Qin Yunxi, stop pestering me.]
[I'm not worth your—]
True feelings.
