Chapter 1

It turned out that fate had been so cruel to me just so that I could meet you, who doted on me and loved me so much, one day. -Qiao Mu

~Preface~

Ten years ago, an eight-year-old little girl was walking behind an eighteen-year-old teenage boy. She vowed loudly, “I don’t know what love is, but I love you! I’ll definitely marry you when I grow up!”

Many years later, they met each other again. But the once obedient young woman smiled cunningly like a little fox and said, “Uncle, you want me to marry you? Are you trying to get a sugar baby?”

…..

At night, the stars were bright.

A luxurious cruise ship glided on the water. Brightly lit, it was a splendid sight.

The decor inside the cabin was resplendent, and the large space was divided into a few sections. One of the sections consisted of many private lounges, and the design of the place was unique.

It looked like a maze.

Qiao Mu staggered back and forth on the long corridor. This was her second time walking around this part of the cruise ship.

She looked at the wooden doors on both sides of the corridor. There was no way that she could tell which private lounge she had come from, as all the doors looked similar.

It was her eighteenth birthday, and she was having a celebration with a few friends. They had made her drink quite a lot. It made no sense. She merely went to the bathroom. How did she even get lost?

Qiao Mu was feeling dizzier and dizzier. She could not just keep going around in circles like this. She decided to head back to the bathroom and wait for her friends outside the door. They were bound to realize that she was missing and come looking for her.

However, the moment she turned, she bumped into someone’s chest

This made Qiao Mu even dizzier. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the other party’s shirt to prevent herself from falling down.

“Let go!” A loud and clear voice rang out.

She could smell mint. She raised her head and was met with a pair of hawk-like eyes.
