<h4>Chapter 7</h4>


    chx: "Wait for me in the penthouse living room."


    Bai Yin: "I''m at home."


    chx: "Stop pretending. I know every inch of your body."


    Bai Yin: "..."


    She took out a makeup mirror and examined herself closely.


    Her yellowed skin was dotted with freckles, and the effect of the eye shadow made her eyelids droop and her eyes look lifeless. She was unrecognizablepared to herself after removing her makeup.


    How did he recognize her?


    Bai Yin walked to the front desk and asked, "How do I get to the penthouse living room?"


    "Are you referring to..."


    ... The receptionist with delicate makeup looked surprised. "The living room?"


    "Yes, Chen..." She paused, remembering Sally''s warning, and said, "Mr. Chen''s living room."


    The receptionist scrutinized the unremarkable and even somewhat ugly woman in front of her, and cursed in her mind.


    Is she crazy?


    Seeing her stunned, another receptionist walked over and impatiently said, "Sorry, miss, we''re very busy. Please don''t waste our time."


    As soon as she finished speaking, the phone on the receptionist''s desk rang. The "impatient" receptionist answered the phone and stared at Bai Yin in amazement. "Hmm, I see. Okay."


    After hanging up the phone, she immediately put on a friendly smile and said to Bai Yin, "Ma''am, please follow me. I''ll take you upstairs."


    Bai Yin grabbed her bag and followed her into the elevator, leaving behind the dumbfounded receptionists.


    "What the hell is going on?"


    "Mr. Chen''s living room is such a private ce..."


    "Besides his assistant, he never lets anyone into his living room!"


    "What''s this woman''s background?"


    ...


    Chen Huaixiao''s living room was decorated in a modern minimalist style, with irregr floor-to-ceiling ss panels that offered a panoramic view of the city. There was no other office building in the city taller than the Cangxing Group.


    This living room was as luxurious as the top-tier mansions of Tangshan Yipin!


    Such is the life of capitalism, so sinful.


    Bai Yin copsed onto the soft sofa and closed her eyes in enjoyment.


    At this moment, the assistant brought in a candy dish filled with her favorite choctes and toffees.


    Because she grew up in poverty, while other children had colorful candies, Bai Yin didn''t have any and was extremely envious. As a result, she developed a special obsession with candy. If she didn''t see any normally, it was fine, but if she saw them...


    Bai Yin grabbed a handful of candy and happily stuffed them into her embroidered purse.


    One handful wasn''t enough, so she grabbed another until the small purse was bulging and could no longer hold any more.


    She ate a rich chocte toffee and closed her eyes in happiness.


    Control yourself! Just one piece!


    Chen Huaixiao finished his meeting and walked into the living room, where the woman''s cheeks were bulging, and there were several candy wrappers on the coffee table.


    "Aren''t you going to take on the entertainment industry? Why eat so much candy?" He smiled slightly. "Do you think you have a great figure?"


    Bai Yin was caught off guard when she saw him. Like a child caught in the act, she quickly hid the candy wrapper and threw it into the trash. Then she confidently said, "It wasn''t me who ate it."


    "Ghost ate it."


    The man sat down next to her and lifted her chin.


    Bai Yin looked at his face, which was as clear and refined as that of a deity, in his well-tailored suit and shirt. She was just an arm''s length away.


    Before she could react to what he was doing, he had already leaned over and taken the toffee on her tongue with him.


    Stunned by his aggressive move, she opened her eyes wide and pushed him away. "Chen Huaixiao!"


    Chen Huaixiao rolled the sweet chocte candy around in his mouth and leaned casually against the sofa. "Hmm?"


    "What are you doing?" Bai Yin covered her lips with the back of her hand, still feeling the cold traces of his kiss.


    Chen Huaixiao leaned back on the sofa and confidently said, "Eating candy."


    "I dressed like this... And you still ate it."


    "I don''t judge by appearances. As long as it tastes good."


    Looking at Bai Yin''s deliberately ugly, yellowing face, Chen Huaixiao said, "Besides, do you think you''re beautiful in my eyes? You used to be skinny and small, like a monkey. You''re not any better now."


    "..."


    Yes, he had never been attracted to her.


    Not before, and certainly not now.


    Bai Yin knew this all too well, which is why she had armored herself before returning this time.


    But being kissed so affectionately by him still made her feel a little embarrassed.


    "So you don''t drink and still blush." Chen Huaixiao''s lips curved into a smile. "How about that, kissing me makes your DNA move?"


    Bai Yin tried to keep herposure and said, "My DNA didn''t move. But as soon as Chen Huaixiao saw me, he...well, you know."


    Chen Huaixiao pinched her face. "You know your strengths very well."


    "That''s why I have to use them well."


    Finally, Chen Huaixiao''s eyes became a bit colder. He withdrew his gaze and pulled her wrist towards him. He whispered seductively in her ear, "Then use them well one more time."


    With that, he bit her earlobe without further ado.


    Bai Yin winced in pain and instinctively tried to dodge. "You called me to the living room just for this?"


    "What else could it be?" Chen Huaixiao casually nced at the pot of toffee on the table. "I didn''t call you here to eat candy, did I?"


    "That time was an ident."


    "Two times, both idents?"


    "You were drunk both times." Bai Yin said expressionlessly. "I''m the type of person who doesn''t get up early for nothing. I have a purpose for everything."


    "So that night, your purpose was to use me to get back at Su Anning?"


    "Of course. It couldn''t be that I was just craving your body."


    Chen Huaixiao sneered. "That''s not entirely impossible. Don''t forget, that night, my whole body was covered in your saliva."


    "..."


    Bai Yin refused to acknowledge him. "Su''s family is about to marry into the Qin family. Although I haven''t met the Qin family''s son yet, I heard he''s quite handsome. I''m looking forward to it."


    "Sure, he''s handsome," Chen Huaixiao sneered, "but he''s also dirty. Don''t let him touch you."


    Bai Yin stood up, grabbed her bulging shoulder bag, and turned to leave the living room. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen."


    After the girl left, Chen Huaixiao leaned against the sofa, rubbing his eyes and breathing in the rich scent of sandalwood in the room. It was all her scent.


    Shen Bin knocked on the door and walked in, fawning over Chen Huaixiao. "Sir, the toffee you asked me to buy for that girl… she likes it, right? I saw her stuffing a lot of them in her bag and eating them as she walked."


    Chen Huaixiao grabbed a handful of candy and threw it at him without hesitation. "Get out."


    ...


    In the afternoon, Bai Yin tried on wedding dresses with her best friend, Sun Lili.


    Sun Lili circled around Bai Yin, admiring her in the pure white wedding dress. Even though she was known for her sharp tongue, she couldn''t find any ws in her friend''s appearance. Theyers ofce and soft satin enveloped her near-perfect figure like a dream that a young girl would never wake up from, breathtakingly beautiful.


    And those dark, glistening eyes of hers, swept over her face without a word, were simply mesmerizing.


    "Oh, darling, don''t marry any crappy men. Marry me instead, and I promise to treat you well!" Bai Yin smiled and pushed her friend''s face away as she leaned in for a kiss. "Did you find out everything about Qin Jue for me?"


    "Why bother asking? Everyone in the city knows that Qin Jue is not a good guy. He goes through women like water and is a ssic yboy," Sun Lili said, worriedly. "Do you really want to marry him, Xiao Yin?"


    Bai Yin looked at herself in the mirror wearing the white wedding dress and casually replied with a "hmm."


    "I thought you had a good n to avoid this arranged marriage!" Sun Lili urged her. "If all else fails, why don''t you ask Chen Huaixiao for help? Your rtionship with him is not ordinary."


    Bai Yin shrugged her graceful shoulders. "Stop daydreaming, Sun Lili. There is no love between Chen Huaixiao and me."


    Qin Jue was a scumbag, but Chen Huaixiao was even worse. Unlike Qin Jue, who was a straightforward jerk, Chen Huaixiao was like a dull knife that would slowly cut her to pieces. Just like she told Chen''s grandfather ten years ago, she would be the richest and happiest person, and no one could bring her happiness except herself.


    ...


    After trying on wedding dresses, Sun Lili sat in front of the dressing table and asked Bai Yin, "Xiao Yin, are youing to the match tonight?"


    Bai Yin casually removed her makeup and asked, "What match?"


    "You don''t know, but because Chen Huaixiao likes to y this, there is a special mountain racing association in the north city that haspetitions every week. The participants are either top professional racers or wealthy young men from the city. There are also many amateur racers who participate, and the prize money is ridiculously high. It''s always very lively."


    "Will Chen Huaixiao go there too?"


    "Not necessarily, he''s very busy," Sun Lili said mysteriously. "But tonight''s game, Qin Jue is confirmed to being. He''s a skilled racer and has reportedly beaten many professional racers."


    Bai Yin removed her makeup with a cotton pad and didn''t pay much attention to what Sun Lili said.


    Sun Lili continued, "Aren''t you curious about what your blind and mute fiancé looks like? Why don''t you go to the scene and take a look for yourself?"
