The young chap got the subtle hint right away and agreed with a nod.

Before knowing her, he was a lowly moneyboy. In the olden days, his status would most likely be equated to those male playthings raised by the rich and powerful for private entertainment.

As long as the requestor had the money, regardless of the person’s status and power, he would need to service the customer at his keeper’s bidding.

He had protested and resisted against such inhumane arrangement, but all he got were numerous beatings and imprisonments. Alas, not only did he end up with countless injuries, he had to bow to those contemptuous mockers, too.

In this world, the brighter the place might be, the darker the corners might hide.

He envied those who could walk in the light. As for him, he could only retreat to a dark corner to lick his wounds quietly.

Before he came in contact with the entertainment scene, he did not know that men could be degraded in such a way.

How lowly could one get in front of powerful men?

No one could not imagine the pain and repression he had endured then.

Living was worse than death, and he was sick of such a life.

He was treated as a commodity, sans dignity and pride, by the rich and famous. Despite the humiliation, he still had to greet those immoral and ugly faces with a smile.

Finally, his keeper gave him permission to leave such a hellish life, provided that he could capture this woman’s heart. She brought a ray of hope to his desperate situation.

After the event ended, he stood waiting for her outside the door. When Lin Xueya walked out of it, she did not notice him standing in a corner, smoking quietly.

The man reached for her arm and pulled her into a corner. Holding her by the shoulders, he had her pinned in that narrow space. Without using words, he decided to make his move in the most direct way—he kissed her long and hard.

Perhaps it was their proximity or the woman was longing for such intimacy, she did not resist him. As he had just finished his drag, there was still a faint tobacco smell lingering on his lips, but she did not mind it surprisingly. She was known to detest smoking. In fact, she started to draw closer to him the longer they kissed.

After their kiss, the man asked her with a smile, “Pretty lady, are you willing to have dinner with me?”

His smile enchanted her, and she was helplessly, and hopelessly, swooned.

She could no longer care to be reserved; her heart was totally held captive by him.

They checked into a hotel and spent a wanton night inside a presidential suite.

After their lovemaking, he panted into her ear, “Let me be your pet, alright?”

By then, she was no longer her usual self and readily agreed to everything he said.

Hua Jin’s keeper came to discuss terms with her the next day.

As for the terms and conditions, these could not be measured by dirty money. The middle-aged man had no lack of money, but he needed some influential network, which Lin Xueya could provide him.

As the matter panned out, the young man was taken in as the woman’s private pet.

Being with her made a drastic change in his life.

For one, he could finally move out from that dark and hideous basement.

The woman had a glimpse of the place on the day he moved out.
