After she had everything ready, Lin Zechen sent his assistant, Lin Yang, to pick her up. Shu Wan, carrying her bag, got into a Maybach. She thought Lin Yang would take her directly to Lin Zechen's house, but unexpectedly, he took her to a shopping mall. Several stylists and makeup artists surrounded her, not only styling her waist-length wavy hair into a bun but also applying exquisite makeup. An expensive evening gown, seemingly tailor-made for her, looked flawless on her. A diamond necklace worth tens of millions adorned her neck, further enhancing her noble, elegant, and refined beauty. Looking at her radiant reflection in the mirror, she felt unfamiliar, unlike herself, more like Ning Wan. If Ji Sihan saw her like this, he might think she was deliberately imitating Ning Wan. She gave a self-deprecating smile, a bitter one. After the makeover, Lin Yang quickly took her to Nightclub. This is the biggest den of iniquity in City A, frequented by the wealthy and powerful. Mainly because it places extreme emphasis on privacy; there's virtually no surveillance, and even if there were, it would be extremely difficult to obtain. Many rich kids enjoy doing sordid things here. Lin Zechen choosing such a place probably means he intends to ruin her. The thought of being violated made Shu Wan's heart race, like the elevator ascending. Seeing the elevator nearing the top floor, she steadied herself, clutching her bag tightly, and followed Lin Yang out of the elevator to the door of the private room. Lin Yang took out a VIP card, swiped it, and the luxurious automatic door slowly opened. As the door opened, dim lighting spilled out, and soft, soothing Western music played softly. This surprised Shu Wan somewhat. Normally, Lin Zechen's taste would be that of a nightclub, but the decor here was high-end and sophisticated, refreshingly elegant, and even the music wasn't deafening like in a nightclub; instead, it was quite comfortable. As Shu Wan stood at the doorway, observing, a broad, strong hand suddenly wrapped around her waist. Lin Zechen pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to kiss her cheek. "Baby, you look so beautiful today." She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, turning her head away to avoid his touch, but accidentally saw the man sitting on the sofa. He wore a white shirt, the collar slightly open, revealing a captivating collarbone. His forearm, sleeves rolled up, was strong and muscular, his well-defined fingers holding a wine glass. The red wine inside, reflected in the dim light, glowed a blood-red hue, like the crimson, chilling gaze he was giving her. Shu Wan was slightly surprised to see Ji Sihan here. She had originally thought Ji Sihan and Lin Zechen weren't in the same circle. At least the Ji family was an Asian conglomerate, controlling the economic lifeline of the entire Asia. The Lin family was merely a tycoon in City A, insignificant compared to the Ji family. Yet, it was unexpected that these two extremes would meet privately in such an entertainment venue. Shu Wan suddenly felt a pang of relief that she hadn't called Ji Sihan that day. Otherwise, she would not only have lost face but also been ruthlessly rejected. After all, why would Ji Sihan offend his best friend for her sake? But… why was he looking at her like that? Was he angry because he saw her being kissed by another man? Just as Shu Wan was lost in thought, the man suddenly withdrew his gaze, his expression indifferent, as if it had been nothing more than a casual glance. Shu Wan's heart skipped a beat. She knew it; someone as cold-hearted as Ji Sihan wouldn't care whether she was kissed by someone else. She shifted her gaze, focusing on dealing with Lin Zechen: "Mr. Lin, why did you bring me to a place like this?" Lin Zechen affectionately pinched her cheek. "I'll introduce you to some friends first, then we'll go do something more exciting." Shu Wan's expression changed upon hearing this; it seemed she needed to quickly find a way to escape. Just as she was pondering how to deal with Lin Zechen, he suddenly pushed her in front of Ji Sihan.
