Never in her dreams had Rita expected that her life would change so drastically after one dramatic incident--her blind date with Aaron. She had slept with the man the previous night and had even tried to pay him off with one hundred for their one-night stand. She was caught off-guard when they got engaged during their second meeting. After all, she had no option to turn down his proposal. Marrying him was the only way for her to save her family from the verge of bankruptcy. Rita thought that their marriage was nothing but a deal, but Aaron grabbed the opportunity to get her to sink in his adoration. And so, Rita and Aaron's life together began.
The moment she opened her eyes and saw a strange man lying right beside her, it took everything in Rita Gu not to cry out.
The breeze from the opened windows blew into the room, letting her hair fray over her delicate skin. A large quilt covered her body, as she stared at him.
Light streamed through the curtains, highlighting her clear face.
Rita Gu furrowed her eyebrows, trying to remember what had happened last night. She had been in the bar and then... She hooked up with someone.
As she gazed into the man's physique, she couldn't help but wonder if this was the man she hooked up with.
As the party was going on, she remembered how drunk she was, stumbling in and out from the crowds of people on the dance floor. She wanted to steady herself, but her shaky stance was not helping the case.
Rita Gu was not sure about what had happened next. It seemed that her slim arms wrapped around the man's body, exhausted and drunk.
It turned out that they ended up here. As she moved closer, she couldn't help but admire the intricate angles of his facial structure. It was as if he popped out of a modelling ad, and he looked very fine under the sunlight.
"Hello?" Rita nudged him only to see that he still wouldn't budge.
She couldn't help but gaze at him, admiring the view in front of her.
After a few seconds, Rita quickly picked up her clothes from the ground. As she was about to raise her legs to put on her pants, the pain in her lower body made her groan.
He had been thrusting into her the entire night, and now, she needed to pay the price of enduring the pain.
It was a repeated cycle of pain and pleasure, and it was definitely a night for her to remember.
The man was hot, if she could say so herself. Was he one of the dancers in the bar?
He moved, the muscles on his back contracting slightly, making her lift her head. Was he awake?
She slowed her movements.
Suddenly, the bed creaked. Rita was so frightened that she immediately froze, her mind racking with different phrases on what she should say if the man woke up.
She had never hooked up with a man before, and now, looking at it, it should stay that way.
The man on the bed was actually only pretending to sleep. In fact, he had been squinting at the woman for quite some time now, looking at the way she bent down and tiptoed to the door.
Suddenly, she stopped.
As he saw her come back, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended that he was fast asleep.
Rita narrowed her eyes at the man on the bed. He really did have a nice figure with an extremely handsome face and defined muscles. He was either a male prostitute or a dancer, she thought.
Did that mean she had to pay then?
Chewing her lips, she fished out her wallet and grabbed a 100 dollar bill.
'At least this would reward him for that memorable night. Got to keep his strength up, I guess,' she thought.
The bill fell over the bed, its color immediately contrasting from the white sheet.
Once she left the money, she retreated back to the door and ran away.
After a few minutes, Aaron Leng finally sat up, furrowing his eyebrows when he caught sight of the bill sitting on his bed. Did she just pay him?
He examined the money in his hand, shaking his head. He thought the one who showed up for the appointment was the woman last night, only to find that she wasn't the one he searched for.
The girl was dead drunk.
She'd been in such a good mood that she immediately wrapped her legs around him and ground against him. She was probably the first one who he had allowed to take advantage of him.
He shook his head, a playful smile tracing on his lips. When his phone rang, he brought it up to his ear. "I'll be there soon."
It had been a rough night that was for sure. The moment she came home, Rita quickly got into a shower and changed into a new set of clothes before her parents dragged her into the car.
"We've arranged a blind date for you today," Jack Gu, her father, stated as he clapped his hands excitedly. She was already wearing a white dress with a cute daisy on it. As she lowered her head, he continued, "He's the second young master of the Leng family, so you should leave a good impression. Are you listening? Where did you go last night?"
Grace, her mother, saved her from another round of questioning as she winked at her husband. "Our daughter has already grown up, Jack," she stated. "You don't need to worry about her. Besides, it's a good thing she actually agrees to do this."
For Rita, she wasn't really fond of going on all those blind dates, but this was one she needed to accept. Her marriage was the only way for her to save the Gu Company from the verge of bankruptcy.
Aaron Leng, a successful young man in the business circle, was her family's hope now.
A Bentley stopped at the gates of a five-star hotel. Seeing who it was, a bellboy rushed to open the door, bowing his head. In a designer suit, Aaron Leng stepped out, waiting for the next car to come in.
Wendy Wen, his assistant, was holding a pile of documents as she peered into what his plans were for today. "Your blind date is with Miss Rita from the Gu family. She has a good background, great family and academics. She has a master's degree from Columbia. You'd think well of her. She's better than all the other blind dates you've been in."
"Isn't the Gu Company going into its final stages?" He pursed his lips.
"As long as she's outstanding, the family background can be set aside," she repeated what his father had told her.
Just as she finished, Aaron narrowed his eyes. "We both know why he's in such a hurry. You don't have to cover up for him."
Before she could reply, the Gu Family's car stopped right behind them.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for the lady sitting on the backseat. Rita got off the car, her delicate high heels stepping onto the carpet. Her legs were slim under the snow white dress, emphasizing her well-shaped figure. Her makeup also suited her, highlighting her high cheekbones and bright eyes. She had attracted everyone standing at the gates, except for Aaron
who was shocked at her appearance.
When their eyes connected, they merely gaped at one another.
'That's her?' 'That's him?'
