nThe next day, Chen Zhao was awakened by Ethan.

nChen Zhao did not drink too much, but he had played late into the night. Thus, he slept all the way until noon.

n“Chen, if there’s such a party next time, remember to bring me again.” Ethan’s face was still somewhat red, perhaps due to a hangover.

nEthan had also gone to many parties, but not one organized by people who were that rich.

nTheir playstyle had overturned his imagination.

nEthan did not even know himself how many women he had played with.

n“Ethan, you wore condoms yesterday right?”

n“Err… They don’t look like they have any diseases. Do I need to?”

nChen Zhao rolled his eyes. “You can’t tell if they have a disease by looking. Even I have to wear condoms, not to mention you. Remember, apart from your wife, you must wear one when you have sex with a woman.”

n“Alright. I will remember it.” Ethan did not look like he took Chen Zhao’s advice seriously.

nJust then, Li Qing walked in with some food. “Mr. Ethan, Mr. Chen.”

n“Put it on the table. One hour later, clean this room up.”

n“Yes, Mr. Ethan.”

n“I should go back now. Don’t contact me even if there’s a client. I need to rest for today.”

n“I don’t understand why you moved away. Isn’t it good here? You wouldn’t have to keep travelling here and there.”

n“Because I need to pay you if I stay here.”

n“But you need to pay rent there as well, and it’s even more expensive. You also had to furnish your new house.”

n“At least the furniture belongs to me.”

n“Fine. Whatever floats your boat.”

n“How’s that woman?”

n“Who? You mean Li? She’s very diligent. I would have married her if I haven’t married already in the past.”

n“Do you have a wife now?”

n“I don’t want to marry again precisely because I had before.”

nJust then, Chen Zhao’s phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

n“Hello. You’re?”

n“Chen, it’s me, Yafen. I’m not feeling well. Are you free?”

n“Of course. Are you home? I’ll go there now… Okay. See you in thirty minutes.”

n“Didn’t you just say that you’re not seeing any clients today?”

n“It’s a female client, indeed a beautiful actress.”

n“Damn. You’re so lucky,” Ethan cursed.

n“Has Paul sent your car back? Drive me there.”

n“Bastard! I’m not your personal driver.”

n…

nIn the end, Ethan still drove Chen Zhao to Beverly Hills.

nChen Zhao walked into Yafen’s house. She was still beside the swimming pool.

nYafen was half-naked and had a pair of sunglasses on. At the moment, she was lying on a lounger.

n“Yafen, how can I help you?”

nYafen removed her sunglasses. Licking her lips, she stared at Chen Zhao. “I’m yours today, Chen… Come.”

nYafen was repaying Chen Zhao. She had just gone for audition that morning and successfully obtained the role.

nAlthough it was only a supporting role, the movie was a blockbuster after all. Only a few such movies would be released every year. Among actresses similar to Yafen, there was intense competition even for roles with simple dialogues.

nThis was the best role that Yafen had obtained so far.

nAfter one round, the two rested in the pool.

n“Chen, are you very close to Mr. Steven?”

n“Just average. He’s also my client. Actually I didn’t help you too much.”

n“It means a lot to me.”

nChen Zhao grabbed Yafen’s slim waist. Her boldness and enthusiasm made him totally addicted.

n“Let’s go into the room.” The two switched their battleground and started another round of combat.

nIn her moaning, Yafen muttered, “Chen, you’re so great…”

nWhat can a woman say to a man to best flatter his vanity? This is it…

nHowever, it is a common saying that there are only bulls which are overexerted and no fields which are over-ploughed.

nChen Zhao was precisely in such a state. After a few rounds, in addition to the fun time the previous day which he had yet to recover from, Chen Zhao could hardly straighten his back.

n“Stay here tonight.”

n“No. I really should leave. I still have a patient later,” Chen Zhao said, his face pale.

nIf I stay here for one more night, I’ll really become a dry corpse, Chen Zhao thought.

n“Alright. Be careful on your way.”

nChen Zhao had already called Vincent. Soon, the car arrived at the entrance.

n“Chen, that woman’s excellent. How did you manage to hook up with her?” Vincent glanced at Yafen who was standing at the gates.

n“Just drive your car.”

n“Looks like you were almost dried out by that woman.”

nIgnoring Vincent’s tease, Chen Zhao leaned quietly on the rear seat.

nHis demons were still in the motel, so he had to go there first to pick them up.

n…

nIn an ordinary apartment, Chris just returned from work when she saw her boyfriend walking out from their house.

n“Nance, are you going out?”

n“Yes,” Nance nodded.

n“Nance, you’re already tired from work. Why don’t you rest at home?” Noticing the obvious dark circles under her boyfriend’s eyes, Chris was somewhat worried.

n“I have something going on.” Nance’s reply was rather cold.

n“Okay. Do you need me to accompany you?”

n“Nope.” Without even turning his head, Nance got into his car directly.

nStaring at the leaving car, Chris frowned deeply.

nFor some reason, she felt that Nance had changed.

nSince they were engaged, or rather since they moved there, Nance’s actions had become strange.

nIn the past, Nance had been a very sunny person. Chris had decided to entrust her entire life to Nance precisely because of his optimism and cheerfulness.

nHowever, since they moved here, Nance became somewhat gloomy.

nMoreover, she had received calls from Nance’s colleague who asked her if something had happened to Nance at home.

nFor a few times already, Nance had become furious for no reason and even fought with others.

nMore creepily, Chris noticed that Nance’s behavior recently was becoming weirder.

nSometimes, she would mysteriously wake up at night and see Nance sitting alone near the window and holding a mirror, as if he was talking to someone.

nNance was also becoming increasingly dull, as if he had become a totally different person.

nHe would get angry for no reason and was very cold towards her.

nChris felt extremely uneasy. She had thought about finding a psychologist for Nance, but he did not accept it. Instead, he said that Chris was behaving ridiculously.

nChris suddenly felt that she had to understand what was happening to Nance.

nShe also turned around and got in her own car to tail Nance.

nChris had thought of many possibilities. She suspected that Nance might have another girlfriend outside, or have been addicted to something bad, or perhaps have gotten himself into trouble.

nHowever, whatever the reason might be, she had to figure it out.
