From Dusk till Dawn!

"Fiancée? I didn't hear you mentioning her when you were spending time with me all this time? I was pretty interested in you all this time and I never hide it from you…" Si Xiu looked at the man in disbelief.

All this time, she was very open about her feelings, and given the way he was interacting with her, she could feel that he too felt something.

But now that she confessed to him, under this beautiful setup….He simply told her that 'I have a fiancée.'

Si Xiu looked around the deck. Tears threatening to fall from her adorable doe eyes. Why didn't you tell me earlier if you were engaged? Why'd you given me hope to go to this extent?

More than pain, she just felt humiliated and disappointed.

"Although I was initially interested in you but, there is no future for us," Li Yu spoke with his usual poker face, "If you hadn't been just a secretary…."

Si Xiu looked at her as if he has grown two heads, "You'd have married me then?"

"No, you are an orphan," The man replied nonchalantly.

"You investigated me?"

Li Yu didn't reply but the answer was obvious.

"So, how about your fiancé? Is she rich?"

Li Yu nodded, "She has a remarkable background."

''Fine," Si Xiu turned around to leave.

"Well done, darling. From the first day on this yacht, I'm noticing this bitch constantly pestering you. With looks and background like that, did she think she can compare to me?"

The woman's voice made Si Xiu pause in her tracks. Was it his fiancée? All this time, she has been here when she was making plans to date Li Yu? Her hands curled into fists as she turned around to look at them.

"Pestering him? Which eye of yours saw that?" She narrowed her eyes finding the woman's face a bit familiar.

It clicked in her mind. This person was the daughter of the head of the Agricultural Bank of Country. She has read a file regarding them in Ash Corporations.

The woman arrogantly sneered, "It is beneath my status to cheapskates like you. Women like you just want to find a rich man to be their mistress. I can't tell you how much it disgusts me."

If Mo Yuhan had been here, he might have recognized the woman given that he stepped on her toes during the dance performance on their first day in this luxury yacht.

Mistress? This term seemed to be rubbing salt on her old wounds. Si Xiu narrowed her eyes. She pointed her chin towards the decoration around the table, "All of this was because I wanted to ask him out on a date," She said, looking at Li Yu, "Dating is pretty common these days, what's so wrong about it? As for marriage, do you think I'd want to marry a man like him?"

Li Yu looked at her in disbelief.

She smirked, twirling her purple highlighted hair with her finger, "A man like him will bore me to death," Since you started this, let's play it till the end. You want to humiliate me, who gave you the fucking right to do so? "Just dating. Timepass in this boring journey, that's all I wanted yet you had to cause a ruckus with that?"

From the corner of her eyes, she noticed Ye Jie walking towards her.

Li Yu pursed his lips, unable to express what he was feeling.

The woman was speechless "You...How dare you insult my fiancé? Do you know who I am? Even a slutty orphan like you can speak to me like this? Do you think I'll believe it when you say that you were not after my man?"

"Why would I want a man like him?" Just when Ye Jie came to stand beside her, Si Xiu grabbed his collar with both her hands, "I prefer him instead," She said.

Li Yu followed her gaze…He immediately recognized the man.

Ye Jie blankly stared at her. He was observing the situation from distance. And when things didn't seem to go well, he came here but she said that she…she...

He opened his mouth to ask her to confirm if he heard it right, "You…Mmp…"

The woman stood on her tiptoes and dragged his collar before pressing her lips onto his.

His mind went blank as he stood rooted to the spot. With women, he was used to taking initiative. But now that a woman was taking initiative to kiss him, this dominantly, he didn't know what to do. Especially when it was the woman he was crushing over for the last two days.

The one whom he couldn't get out of his mind.

She parted her lips slightly before wrapping her arms around his neck, "Wrap your arms around my waist, do I need to teach you that?" She whispered against his lips.

To Li Yu and his fiancée, it looked like she was murmuring sweet nothings with him.

As she dove in for another kiss, Ye Jie wrapped his around her waist and responded to her kiss, giving the woman what she wanted.

Li Yu looked at the scene, feeling a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He did not expect his fiancée to here. As much as he was starting to like Si Xiu, his family was more important to him. So, he did things that would work out in their favor. But watching her kissing another man, he…he did not feel good at all.

Both of them panted as they broke the kiss.

Ye Jie looked at Li Yu before looking at his fiancée, a hint of playfulness remained in his eyes, "The one you were calling a slutty orphan is the heiress of one of the royal families."

With that, he carried Si Xiu in his arms before walking away leaving the three of them in shock.

An heiress of the royal family? Li Yu's eyes darkened, a hint of regret appearing in them. He knew that General Ye Jie would not be joking about such things.

His fiancée grabbed his hand asking him to confirm whether it was true. He shrugged off before walking away, leaving her all alone.

"You knew?" Si Xiu looked at the man who was carrying her in disbelief.

The next morning.

"You would end up looking like a piece of coal if you keep sitting there like this," Tang Li said looking at the woman's back who was sleeping on the lounge chair near the deck.

"You…"
