She was still a bit softhearted, which is why she found herself here as if possessed, asking him, “Xie Shang, do you have any wishes?”
“Why are you asking all of a sudden?”
Wen Changling didn’t tell the truth, “Because I’m in a good mood.”
Xie Shang looked at her.
It wasn’t that she was in a good mood, a Wen Changling in a good mood didn’t have that expression. When she was truly happy, her brows would be relaxed, and her tone would be very different, much more cheerful.
The current Wen Changling was more like the witch of the forest, who before feeding a starving traveler an apple, would ask him gently, “Do you have any wishes?”
“Do you have any wishes?” She closed the door of the room, “But you can only make ones I can fulfill right now.”
The witch’s apples couldn’t be eaten recklessly; it would result in having one’s heart gouged out.
But the witch was Wen Changling.
“Can you love me?”
No.
Wen Changling furrowed her brows as if in distress, looked down without eyeing Xie Shang, and after making up her mind, she raised her head again, “Xie Shang, do you want me?”
Heart and soul couldn’t be given.
But her body could, if the person was Xie Shang. After all, having owned Xingxing, she wouldn’t love anyone else.
If you want it, I can give it to you right now,” she approached Xie Shang, grabbed his waistband, looked up at him with obedient and submissive eyes, “Do you want me or not?”
Xie Shang didn’t answer, but his gaze changed. He was restraining himself, suppressing the desire for dominance, conquest, and the aggressive instincts that were ingrained in his genes.
Wen Changling raised her hand and embraced Xie Shang on her own. She had once heard a line in a foreign movie: Nights are meant for dreaming and making mistakes.
She could feel Xie Shang’s body tense.
“I understand now, is that what you want?”
Wen Changling slowly slid her hand inside Xie Shang’s clothes, admiring his body, the clearly defined muscles across his abdomen, not overly exaggerated but still powerful, giving her a sense of safety. Her fingertips were a bit cold, and every inch they touched grew warmer.
“Changling,” Xie Shang controlled his breathing, his eyes were not as lucid as usual, now filled with a confused and struggling lust, “If we continue, I won’t be able to stop.”
Wen Changling had no intention of stopping.
She withdrew her hand, buried her head, and focused on undoing Xie Shang’s pajama buttons.
Xie Shang took a deep breath and grabbed Wen Changling’s hand, “Let’s wait for next time.” She wasn’t in a good mood today, he could feel it. Her emotions had a reckless bravery about them, along with a barely perceptible unease, as if she was anxious about something, fighting something within herself.
“Why don’t you want it?”
Wen Changling looked at Xie Shang with puzzled eyes; he had clearly had a very strong reaction when she approached.
Xie Shang found an excuse that was also a reason, “We don’t have condoms at home.”
“We can do without.”
Wen Changling, when she went wild, was even more reckless than Xie Shang.
“Then if you get pregnant, will you marry me?”
No, he wouldn’t.
She could take pills.
For some reason, her mind suddenly flashed with all sorts of abnormal thoughts, wanting to set fire, sink to the bottom of the sea, reach a great height, lie in a field covered with thistles and thorns, alongside Xie Shang, to do the craziest things.
While her mind was manically spiraling, Xie Shang came over and embraced her.
“I only have one wish.”
Xie Shang made his plea by her ear, his voice gentle yet firm, “I hope Miss Wen can love me.”

The day after the autumn launch of Pamdow’s new fragrance had just been set, Noon Ferry’s sales director Mi Xiuwen was interviewed on the back foot.
In response to the recent online comments, Mi Xiuwen publicly stated, “Noon Ferry has not engaged in any plagiarism. A year ago, our perfumer started the development of functional perfumes. The process was not smooth, the formula went through repeated modifications and tests, and there was even a management oversight that led to a formula leak. Fortunately, the leaked formula was just a discarded prototype.”
A reporter asked, “Is the leaked formula referring to Orange Beauty? Why is it called a discarded prototype?”
For the first question, Mi Xiuwen did not respond.
“The discarded formula wasn’t suitable for everyday wear as a perfume, the drug content was not the optimal ratio. Long-term use could lead to drowsiness, fatigue, or even fainting during the day.”
The reporter asked again, “So is Lishan’s formula the optimal ratio?”
“Lishan is the modified formula, after extensive internal trials, it does not cause any adverse effects. Noon Ferry will also release the relevant departments’ review and testing reports later.”
The official Noon Ferry account posted the interview content.
[See the big picture for yourself]
“[This is too ambiguous. If you say someone plagiarized, bring out the evidence!]
“[What do you mean, Orange Beauty can’t be used for long?]
“[Taking the stuff Noon Ferry discarded as treasure and sneaking it back, that’s hilarious]
“[What kind of disaster has this turned into? The sample I got from the Pamdow fragrance testing is almost finished. Do I need to go to the hospital for a checkup????]
“[It’s not good to slander like this without any solid evidence]
“[I also tried it and had no adverse reactions]

“[…]
After Noon Ferry’s response, Pamdow urgently convened a shareholders’ meeting. Pang Zijin was also present. The old man, Pang Minde, personally summoned her to attend.
Her attitude was, “Issue an apology statement immediately.”
The general manager, Pang Shifang, firmly opposed, “Are you joking? Issuing an apology is equivalent to admitting we stole someone else’s formula.”
Stealing was a more serious accusation than plagiarism.
Pang Zijin sat across from him, unruffled, “Was Orange Beauty developed by your team?”
“Of course.”
“Do you dare to guarantee it?”
Pang Shifang choked, looking towards Pang Minde, “Grandfather.” He was hoping the elder would stand by him.
Pang Minde wasn’t senile, “Zijin’s intention is my intention.”
Pang Shifang hesitated.
If Noon Ferry had evidence, they would have already presented it. It must be psychological warfare, a bluff. The mass production of Orange Beauty had started, with advertising and packaging costs already invested. If there was a problem with the formula, the losses would be immeasurable. Such a big decision-making mistake would mean the end of his role as general manager.
He now had no way of backing down and could only take a gamble, “I guarantee it, there is absolutely no problem with the formula.”
“Alright, we’ll do as big brother says.”
After the meeting.
Pamdow released a statement: [Independent research and development, the formula has no issues. We will take legal action against all defamatory statements about Pamdow.]
Pamdow’s response was firm and managed to salvage some of its image.
However—
On the next day, a fragrance blogger who attended the Pamdow fragrance testing published their one-week trial results online, indicating that they indeed experienced adverse reactions.
At first, some people said that the blogger was seeking attention and was a sympathizer recruited by Noon Ferry. But over the next few days, more and more people who had used the Orange Beauty samples also experienced adverse reactions.
There was no longer any doubt that Orange Beauty was a semi-finished formula discarded by Noon Ferry; the facts spoke louder than words.
The negative news about Pamdow and Orange Beauty was overwhelming. If this incident wasn’t managed well, not only the fragrance product, but also Pamdow’s clothing/accessories, cosmetics/skincare products could suffer a massive blow.
Pang Zijin took command in the crisis and made the following statement on behalf of the company:
First, she apologized to the public for the oversight in management, as individual perfumers had committed infringement. Pamdow would actively cooperate with the relevant authorities’ investigations;
Second, she apologized to Noon Ferry and offered compensation for all losses caused to the company;
Pang Shifang, the group’s general manager, was dismissed and would not be rehired;
The two senior perfumers from the Orange Beauty development team were fired, and the remaining team members had their salaries cut for six months;
Production of Orange Beauty was halted, and all distributed samples were recalled;
All testers who experienced adverse reactions from using Orange Beauty would have their cases fully handled by Pamdow, including related examinations and treatments, as well as compensation in accordance with relevant regulations;
Lastly, Pamdow temporarily suspended sales in perfume stores, to undergo a reorganization and self-examination before reopening.
This sequence of responsive measures had an immediate effect.
“[Who came up with this PR strategy, amazing]
“[Although the infringement was not right, Pamdow is quite responsible]
“[Noon Ferry hit the jackpot, they can even save on advertising costs]
“[It must have been an individual perfumer’s fault, and it implicated the whole company]
“[Let’s forgive, what can we do, I still want to use Pamdow]
“[The dismissed general manager is the chairman’s own grandson; if even he is fired, it shows they are really serious]
“[Pamdow is really putting in effort, their new general manager personally came to make the apology, a very young lady]
The new general manager: Third Miss of the Pang Family, Pang Zijin.
For the former general manager, Pang Shifang, the good days were over, and the nightmare officially began.
