Qin Yunxi let out a wild laugh, his imposing aura radiating as he pointed to the entire banquet. "Tonight, besides me, who else is worthy of you?"
Caroline turned, her expression laced with disdain. "That's not necessarily true."
Whether someone was worthy was her decision, not his.
Qin Yunxi had been successful in the dating scene for years, always getting what he wanted. He never expected to be rejected by a foreign woman, which was a significant blow to his pride.
Instantly, his competitive spirit was ignited.
He ordered his subordinates to inquire and learned her name was Caroline Isabelle, a darling of the fashion world and Chanel's top designer.
No wonder she was so arrogant.
A beautiful, intelligent, and ambitious woman indeed had grounds for pride.
Snapping his fingers, he whispered a few words to his subordinate.
Then, he approached Caroline, leaning close to her ear, his voice low and husky. "Remember, my name is Qin Yunxi."
Qin Yunxi?
He was Qin Yunxi?
The Chairman of the Qin Group, and the global arms magnate, that Master Qin?
Caroline froze completely.
But Qin Yunxi didn't notice. After introducing himself, he turned and left with a flourish.
When Caroline snapped out of her shock and looked up, he had already vanished without a trace.
"Qin Yunxi!"
Caroline instinctively clenched her fists. She really shouldn't have rejected him just now.
What should she do now?
He was already gone, and it felt as if her soul had drifted away with him.
For a moment, Caroline lost all interest. She bid farewell to the CEO of Romon, politely declining his offer of a ride, and walked out of the hotel alone.
A red Ferrari sports car was parked at the entrance. The driver, upon seeing Caroline, respectfully stepped forward and bowed. "Miss Isabelle, Master Qin instructed that as long as you are in E City, you will enjoy unconditional VIP service at the hotel."
"Private car pick-up, available anytime."
Caroline: "????"
She was a bit bewildered.
The driver opened the passenger door and gestured invitingly. "Miss, would you like to go for a drive, or are you heading somewhere specific?"
Caroline recovered from her shock and gracefully, seductively, slid into the sports car.
Master Qin?
Heh—
She let out a scoff.
"Eiffel Hotel," Caroline said.
Du Ruoxin had invited her to stay with the Rong family, but Caroline was accustomed to staying in hotels.
"Yes."
Soon, the driver arrived at the hotel in the sports car.
Caroline got out, and the driver followed, putting on white gloves. He quickly walked ahead of Caroline and pressed the elevator button.
Caroline: "..."
The people Qin Yunxi hired were indeed very attentive.
As they entered the elevator, the driver asked, "Miss, which floor?"
Caroline: "26."
The driver decisively pressed the button for the 26th floor.
Caroline didn't have to lift a finger throughout the entire process. It felt as if she were the pampered daughter of a wealthy conglomerate.
It was wonderful!
"Ding—"
The elevator reached the 26th floor.
Caroline rounded the corner into the corridor and suddenly, her gaze froze.
Qin Yunxi!
He stood there, a gentlemanly yet devilishly handsome figure holding a bouquet of 999 roses, smiling at her.
That smile was as if all the stars in the sky had bloomed.
This man was too dazzling, too captivating.
Not only did he possess a face that made resistance impossible, but his background and status were also among the world's top figures.
Most importantly, he had mastered the art of wooing women.
Even though she had encountered countless men and was accustomed to their pickup techniques, Caroline's heart skipped a beat at his pursuit, which was both domineering and gentle.
However, on the surface, Caroline showed no emotion, even walking past him as if he were invisible.
Qin Yunxi had gone to such great lengths; he wouldn't allow himself to be treated as transparent.
He grabbed her hand, pinning her against the wall. "Be my woman, hmm?"
Caroline's back was against the wall as she smiled seductively. "Master Qin?"
Her sexy, alluring voice echoed between them. She poked his shoulder with her fingertip. "You're so domineering. You didn't even ask if I have a boyfriend."
Qin Yunxi held her smooth, soft hand, their fingers intertwined. "To me, that's not important."
As long as she was willing, no one dared to snatch his woman.
Qin Yunxi had this much confidence.
"Mmm~~~" Caroline moaned softly, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Qin Yunxi slowly lowered his head, the air of danger growing stronger, their lips drawing closer.
Just as sparks were about to fly, Caroline covered his mouth. "Master Qin, you don't think sending a few flowers and having someone escort me back to the hotel would make me fall for you, do you?"
"Hmm?" Qin Yunxi raised an eyebrow slightly.
Caroline pushed him away and turned back towards her room.
Before closing the door, she flashed him a perfect smile. "I'll be staying in E City for a while."
Let's see how you perform, shall we?
Qin Yunxi rested his toe against the doorframe and hooked his lips with a wicked grin. "Give me your phone number."
Caroline: "With Master Qin's capabilities, how could you not find my phone number?"
"Goodnight."
Qin Yunxi narrowed his eyes. "Won't you give me some comfort?"
Caroline hesitated for half a second, took off her earring, and handed it to him.
Qin Yunxi received the "special" gift and finally withdrew his foot.
"Bang."
Watching the door quickly close, he put the earring in his pocket and took out his phone to send her a message:
"I'll take you out to sea tomorrow. I'll pick you up at two in the afternoon."
