"It’s okay, this way we can both sleep well, right?"

Lisa smiled gently.

"So, how did you deal with those sheets?"

It was only then that Sun Xining, her face flushed, asked about what she truly cared about.

Lisa’s cheeks also turned slightly red as she softly replied, "I took them to my room... I thought I should keep them, just in case you need them..."

"Ah, no need, Lisa, you keep them."

In fact, Sun Xining also wanted to keep them, as that was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. But seeing that Lisa had the same thought, she didn’t want to mention it again.

"By the way, where’s Zhou Wang? Why haven’t I seen him?"

Sun Xining looked around, seeing no sign of Zhou Wang, and couldn’t help but ask.

"Mr. Zhou woke up very early, around eight. I didn’t see him when I got up, maybe he went out for a workout?"

"He gets up so early?"

Sun Xining glanced at the wall clock; it was already past eleven, meaning Zhou Wang had been up for over three hours. She was quite surprised.

Given how much energy Zhou Wang expended last night, how could he get up?

It seems this man’s stamina is a bit stronger than I imagined...

Although his performance in Jing City was average, perhaps it was due to lack of experience?

Sun Xining thought unconsciously.

If Zhou Wang knew what she was thinking, he might feel gratified.

...It wasn’t in vain that I even used props to finally make you see me in a new light.

Ring, ring!

At this moment, the room’s landline rang. Lisa walked over to answer it, responded a few times and then hung up, telling Sun Xining:

"Mr. Zhou is back; he said if we’re awake, we should go down for lunch, and that he has something important to tell us later..."

The two girls exchanged a glance, both sharing a tacit understanding.

Perhaps it’s about last night’s events?

Lisa naturally looked forward to it, but Sun Xining felt an inexplicable panic.

Last time, Zhou Wang bought her two bags, so what about this time?

If it is again marked with a price tag, should I accept it?

For some reason, Sun Xining, usually quite "materialistic," felt a sudden sense of resistance.

She had already made up her mind that if Zhou Wang tried to placate her with material rewards, she would decisively refuse and leave alone.

Perhaps... she didn’t want to tarnish the beautiful memory of last night, even if that beauty was only of her own making.

I have feelings for you, but I don’t want this once-in-a-lifetime memory to be mired in so many impurities.

Sun Xining made up her mind on the spot. After freshening up, she went down to the dining room with Lisa, and indeed, Zhou Wang was already sitting there.

He was on a call with someone, signaling to the girls to sit down without hanging up.

"Yes... twenty minutes? Sure, that’s about right. Someone will be at the complex gate waiting for you; send over your license plate number, and they’ll let you in..."

Lisa and Sun Xining were a bit puzzled, unsure who was coming, but didn’t ask as they were completely drawn to the steaming dishes on the table.

They were genuinely hungry.

And the food also looked so appetizing that even Zhou Wang, who had already had breakfast, wanted to eat more.

The lunch consisted of supreme ingredients: braised crab claws with bird’s nest in consommé, black bean sauce steamed ribs, char-grilled Australian M9+ beef ribs, East star grouper steamed with aged tangerine peel, a stir-fried seasonal vegetable, and a nourishing American ginseng stewed chicken soup...

The lunch, delivered by the butler Old Xu, wasn’t extensive—just five dishes and a soup—but it was exceptionally sumptuous.

The dessert, a double-skin milk pudding made with Yunnan’s small ginger juice and bird’s nest jelly, could be called the king of double-skin milk.

Zhou Wang had instructed Old Xu to prepare this two hours earlier, as the two young women had lost both blood and tears last night and certainly needed some nourishment.

"Eat up, why are you looking at me?"

Zhou Wang hung up the phone and saw that the two girls hadn’t touched their chopsticks; he couldn’t help but smile.

Once Zhou Wang started eating, they began as well, though Zhou Wang ate very little, spending most of his time watching them.

The two girls were a bit embarrassed being watched by Zhou Wang, which made him marvel.

Where did your courage from last night go?

But girls are inherently strange creatures, so Zhou Wang wasn’t surprised. After he finished eating, he went to the living room.

When he left, the two girls relaxed a lot, and their eating pace quickened. During this process, they heard some sounds coming from the living room.

It seemed like butler Old Xu brought someone in; they vaguely heard a woman’s voice, which seemed to be in a bit of a dispute with Zhou Wang...

This made Lisa and Sun Xining even more confused, unsure of who the new guest was.

Once they had almost finished eating, following Zhou Wang’s instructions from when he left, the two girls also headed for the living room.

There, they saw the woman sitting on the sofa—the "uninvited guest" who had just arrived at the villa.

With just one look, both girls were simultaneously astonished.

Her skin was cold and white like freshly fallen snow, with a high nose bridge, and lips so pale they seemed washed out by water. Her eyebrows and eyes were not the enchanting kind typical of girls, but rather carried a hint of severity.

Adding to this was her absolutely aloof demeanor, which made this woman with strikingly beautiful features seem like a goddess statue from a frost-covered forest brought to life, exuding a subtle sense of detachment.

If not for the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose adding just the right touch of warmth, the two girls might not even have had the courage to look directly at her.

"Hello, I’m Mr. Zhou’s personal lawyer. My name is Qi Jiayi."

Seeing the two girls appear, the woman, dressed in a well-cut, chestnut-colored business suit, adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and spoke with an expressionless face.

Since she didn’t smile, the two girls could only greet her awkwardly, looking somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Now that Qi Jiayi had fully taken over the Wangzhou Group’s legal department, her aura had become increasingly formidable. It wasn’t just them—even Zhou Wang sometimes felt uneasy facing her.

Speaking of which, Zhou Wang often wanted to complain.

He distinctly remembered that when he first met Qi Jiayi, this woman was always approachable in front of him. Despite her abstinent features, she would joke around and tease a little.

But ever since Zhou Wang recruited her into his, er, team, Qi Jiayi had become more distant with each passing day, losing her former friendliness entirely.

There might be two reasons for this: first, back when she worked at the law firm, she was under performance pressure and undoubtedly needed to appear approachable to attract different major clients.

But now she only serves Zhou Wang, so there’s no need to act anymore.

After all, Zhou Wang had seen her most embarrassing side. What was there left to pretend?

By nature, she was a woman who detested social interaction and was inherently cold.

The second reason is that Qi Jiayi feared any show of gentleness would give Zhou Wang, that rascal, another opportunity to take advantage. Her cold demeanor was her final defense, meant to maintain whatever dignity might still exist in front of Zhou Wang.

Upon hearing that Qi Jiayi was Zhou Wang’s lawyer, Lisa and Sun Xining became even more nervous.

Moreover, Zhou Wang was nowhere to be seen in the living room, and they didn’t know where he had gone.

"Please sit."

Qi Jiayi gestured for the two girls to sit down before casually saying, "I’ve been commissioned by Mr. Zhou to have you both sign an agreement. This is a draft; you can take a look first."

With that, Qi Jiayi took two copies of the agreement from her briefcase and slowly placed them on the coffee table in front of them.
