An Unexpected Encounter

Chen Ran admitted it.

Right now, the things he was doing with Duanmu Hui felt incredibly pleasurable, perhaps even a bit over the top.

This was precisely why he had come over on a Saturday.

The girl’s skin was as smooth as silk, initially feeling like cool porcelain, gradually warming up until it resembled a freshly baked, warm pudding.

Whether it was against his skin, in his grasp, or even in his mouth, the sensations were entirely different.

And as for what was happening internally…

Chen Ran lay dazed on the sofa, feeling as if he were in a sauna with the heat turned up full blast, sweating profusely.

It was hot. Too hot.

The girl’s rough kisses abruptly interrupted his thoughts.

Duanmu Hui’s technique was as clumsy as ever, lacking any skill, relying purely on instinct to fumble around.

It was like watching a child on a rocking horse for the first time.

Chen Ran wasn’t sure how things had escalated to this point or what exactly was happening, but suddenly, everything had changed…

While it was natural for a couple to be in such a situation, he couldn’t help but wonder…

The girl’s pristine skin blocked his entire view, and her hair, spread out like a cascade of red roses, completed the scene.

Chen Ran only remembered…

About a month ago, he had made his first trip to Xi’an to restock the convenience store.

On his way to buy pastries for Jiang Zilin and Jiang Lengleng as a gift, he encountered a man who claimed to be a talent scout.

The man insisted that Chen Ran was handsome enough to act in films and dramas.

Chen Ran found the offer annoying and had no interest in becoming a celebrity or entering the entertainment industry, so he declined.

However, the man was persistent, insisting that Chen Ran visit their agency, making Chen Ran wonder if he was involved in a multilevel marketing scheme.

Just as the two were arguing on a busy street…

Suddenly, a luxurious deep-blue sports car pulled up in front of them.

The car was undeniably expensive, with a sleek, futuristic design that even a layman like Chen Ran could appreciate.

As the window rolled down, revealing Duanmu Hui’s face behind large sunglasses, Chen Ran realized…

The man who had been pestering him was indeed a talent scout, and he worked for Duanmu Hui.

Against his will, Chen Ran ended up visiting their agency and leaving his contact information, although he never answered the scout’s subsequent calls.

Chen Ran had no desire to be a star, but because of this chance encounter, that very evening, Duanmu Hui offered to drive him home, only to take him to her place instead…

…

Twenty minutes later, the girl collapsed onto him, exhausted and unable to move, yet unwilling to let go.

Chen Ran understood what this meant; it was his turn to take the lead.

Without giving Duanmu Hui a chance to rest, Chen Ran flipped their positions, pinning her to the soft sofa as he continued.

The girl began to emit soft, endearing whimpers.

Chen Ran knew she was enjoying it.

In theory, something should have happened, like drinking too much, but nothing of the sort had occurred.

On that day, Duanmu Hui had taken him home, and while he was distracted, she had pushed him onto the sofa and embraced him.

Chen Ran had been bewildered at the time, but then…

When he came to his senses, he saw the girl sitting at her vanity, wearing only a black lace teddy, combing her wet, deep red hair.

She then spoke calmly, as if she were describing a cute puppy, ‘I like you. You’re handsome, and your personality is great. I really like you.’

But she added, ‘Don’t think I’m that kind of girl.’

‘Where are you from?’ she asked.

‘Lingzhou City?’

‘Perfect. Come to the Duanmu family as my future husband.’

The girl spoke casually, but Chen Ran knew she was serious, casually deciding his fate for life.

And that’s how Chen Ran learned that Duanmu Hui came from an extremely wealthy and influential family that had been prominent in the country for centuries.

Chen Ran’s head was spinning, but since everything had already been decided, he had no choice but to accept his sudden, unexpected girlfriend.

However, the initial experience had been far from pleasant.

Although Chen Ran believed he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, this was his first practical attempt, and Duanmu Hui…

She acted as if she knew what she was doing, but her inexperience nearly drove Chen Ran to despair!

It was painful!

In the end, it was better when Chen Ran took the lead.

This was why Duanmu Hui had become increasingly compliant over time.

Nevertheless, every Saturday, Duanmu Hui would send a message inviting Chen Ran to Xi’an, either to her home or her hotel.

They would repeat the same routine, and it would last for about an hour.

This wasn’t Chen Ran’s limit, but Duanmu Hui’s.

As soon as the time was up, the phone would ring, and the girl, who had been soft and pliable beneath him, would struggle to her feet and head to the bathroom.

About ten minutes later, Duanmu Hui would emerge, towel-drying her hair, and begin to get dressed in front of him.

First, she would put on her underwear, followed by a skirt, a short-sleeved T-shirt, tights, and she would blow-dry her hair, put on her sunglasses and a cap, grab her bag and phone, and slip on her boots.

Then, without a backward glance, she would leave the room.

Her parting words were always, ‘Wait thirty minutes before leaving. Don’t get caught.’

‘…’

These were the second words Duanmu Hui had spoken to him that day.

Usually, this would have been her first question.

This meant that if not for today’s unexpected turn of events, Duanmu Hui wouldn’t have even asked him, ‘Why are you so late today?’

Chen Ran sat on the sofa, his head aching.

The room was filled with the lingering scent of the girl’s perfume, a blend of lavender and a hint of plum wine.

Duanmu Hui was likely at a rehearsal, a public appearance, or filming a scene—a busy schedule for a big star.

Chen Ran had asked before, but Duanmu Hui never explained, speaking little, often not responding to his attempts at conversation.

She would simply send him an address every Saturday, telling him to arrive by a certain time in the afternoon.

And that was all.
